NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Infinity Financial Technology, Inc. ("Infinity" or the "Company") develops,
markets and supports object-oriented, client/server software solutions for
financial trading and risk management. The Company provides a comprehensive
range of customer support services, including maintenance, training, and
consulting. Infinity's principal markets for its products and services are
primarily in North America, Western Europe and Asia/Pacific. The Company was
incorporated in California in 1989 and was reincorporated in Delaware in 1996.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts from prior years have been
reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
which affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences
could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign Currency Translation

In 1996, the Company established subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Japan.
The functional currency of the United Kingdom subsidiary is the U.S. dollar and
the functional currency of the Japan subsidiary is the local currency. Gains and
losses on the translation into U.S. dollars of amounts denominated in foreign
currencies are included in net income for those operations whose functional
currency is the U.S. dollar and as a separate component of stockholders' equity
for those operations whose functional currency is the local currency. Assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using exchange
rates at the end of the period, and revenues and costs are translated using
average exchange rates for the period.

In order to reduce the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on its results of
operations, the Company hedges its exposure on certain intercompany and customer
receivables which are denominated in foreign currencies through the use of
forward exchange contracts. The forward exchange contracts do not subject
Infinity to significant market risk from exchange rate movements because the
contracts offset foreign currency balances and transactions being hedged. The
Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on forward exchange contracts and the
underlying transactions being hedged are included in interest and other income,
net. There were no forward exchange contracts outstanding as of December 31,
1996 and 1995.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company's total revenues consist primarily of license and service revenues
from financial institutions in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia,
Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The Company sells primarily to large
institutions, and therefore does not obtain collateral against its outstanding
receivables. Infinity maintains reserves for potential credit losses and
historically such losses have been immaterial. During 1996, two customers
accounted for 11% and 10% of total revenues. During 1995, one customer accounted
for 14% of total revenues, and during 1994, three customers accounted for 18%,
15% and 10% of total revenues.

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits with
various banks and invests its excess cash in money market funds which bear
minimal risk. Cash equivalents consist of money market instruments at
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over estimated useful lives, generally three to five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the
estimated useful life of the asset. Assets under capital lease obligations are
amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or their useful lives on a
straight-line basis, and such amortization is included with depreciation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 91-1 ("SOP 91-1"), "Software
Revenue Recognition." License revenues less deferrals for warranty are
recognized upon shipment only if no significant vendor obligations remain and
collection of the resulting receivable is deemed probable. License warranty
revenues are recognized ratably over the warranty period, generally 30 to 90
days. When the Company receives payment on licenses prior to shipment and
fulfillment of significant vendor obligations, such payments are recorded as
deferred revenue. Service revenues consist primarily of maintenance and support,
training, consulting and co-development projects. Service revenues from customer
maintenance fees for ongoing customer support and product updates are recognized
ratably over the maintenance term, which is typically 12 months. Service
revenues from customer training and consulting services are recognized as the
service is performed. License and service revenues from agreements with multiple
elements containing significant vendor obligations as well as service revenues
from co-development contracts are recognized upon achievement of contractual
milestones or on a percentage-of-completion basis.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues, which primarily relate to costs of service revenues, include
materials, sub-license royalties, a portion of development costs associated with
joint product development agreements, a portion of technical support costs, and
sub-contractor costs associated with purchased services. Costs of license
revenues were immaterial for all periods presented.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86 "Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company's product
development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of
a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between completion of the working
model and the point at which the product is ready for general release have been
insignificant.

Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and common equivalent shares arising from the assumed
exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the conversion of
Series A and Series C convertible preferred stock on the as-converted method.
Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletins,
common and common equivalent shares issued during the period commencing 12
months prior to the initial filing of the initial public offering at prices
below the assumed public offering price have been included in the calculation as
if they were outstanding for all periods presented prior to the initial public
offering (using the treasury stock method). Fully diluted net income per share

 
is computed using the weighted average common and common equivalent shares
outstanding plus other dilutive shares outstanding which are not common
equivalent shares. Other dilutive shares which are not common equivalent shares
include Series B convertible preferred stock during the period such shares were
outstanding.

In November 1995, the Company redeemed the Series B preferred stock for
$1,277,000. The redemption decreased the income applicable to common
stockholders in the calculation of net income per share in 1995. In October
1996, all outstanding Series A and Series C preferred stock was converted to
common stock and adjusted for a two-for-one stock split effective upon the
Company's initial public offering.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants stock options to purchase a fixed number of shares to
employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the
date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option and employee stock purchase
plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." In accordance with the provisions of the opinion, the Company has
generally not recognized compensation expense in connection with such plans. In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), the Company has disclosed the
estimated fair value of stock options in Note 6.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying value of notes receivable from
stockholders approximates their fair value. The fair values of notes receivable
from stockholders are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit quality.

4.  LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

Assets acquired under non-cancelable capital leases consist of computer and
office equipment with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $1,260,000 and
$749,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and accumulated
amortization of approximately $364,000 and $257,000 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Amortization expense of assets acquired under non-cancelable
capital leases is included in depreciation expense of the Company's owned
assets.

The Company leases office space under operating leases which expire beginning in
March 1997 through March 2004. Under one lease, the Company has a two-year
renewal option. The Company also rents certain property and equipment under
operating leases. Rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $1,729,000, $1,207,000 and
$705,000, respectively, and is calculated on a straight-line basis.

 
Minimum future lease payments under all operating and capital lease obligations
as of December 31, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

5.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred Stock

Conversion of all outstanding preferred stock into common stock occurred at the
Company's initial public offering of the Company's common stock in October 1996.

On January 31, 1994, the Company completed an offering of Series C preferred
stock for gross proceeds of $1,757,000. As a condition to the stock purchase,
the investors required the Company to terminate certain continuing covenants
including certain cash payments due upon subsequent rounds of financing imposed
on the Company in the 1992 settlement and buy-out of a former common
stockholder. As a result, the Company paid $876,000 to the former common
stockholder as consideration for his agreement to terminate these contractual
covenants and restrictions and for his approval of the Series C preferred stock
financing. These costs have been accounted for as issuance costs associated with
the sale of the Series C preferred stock.

In November 1995, the Company exercised its right to repurchase all of the
outstanding Series B preferred shares for $1,277,000. The excess of the
repurchase cost over the stated value of the shares at the time of issuance to
the stockholder has been recorded as a reduction of retained earnings in the
statement of stockholders' equity.

Common Stock

The Company issues shares of common stock which are subject to the Company's
right to repurchase at the original issuance price upon the occurrence of
certain events as defined in the agreements. This right expires ratably over 48
months. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 513,091 and 824,792 shares were subject
to repurchase, respectively.

In 1995, the Company issued 200,000 shares under a stock purchase agreement. In
connection with this agreement, the Company received a secured promissory note
for $200,000. The note bears interest at 6.04% and is due and payable in March
1997.

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the total number of shares of common stock
reserved for future issuance under all option plans and conversion of Series A
and C convertible preferred stock was 4,487,726 and 7,135,776, respectively. In
addition, at December 31, 1996, a total of 300,000 shares of common stock are
reserved for future issuance under the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

 
Stock Options

The Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan (the "1989 Plan") authorizes the board of
directors to grant incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options for up
to 2,695,644 common shares to employees, consultants, officers and directors of
the Company. The 1989 Plan is administered by the board of directors with the
terms and conditions of options being generally left to the discretion of the
board of directors.

Under the 1989 Plan, options may be granted at a price not less than fair value
at the date of grant as determined by the board of directors or committee
thereof, except for options granted to a person owning greater than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, for which
the exercise price of the options must not be less than 110% of the fair value
at the time of grant as determined by the board of directors or committee
thereof. Options generally become exercisable over a period of four years with
1/4 of the options vesting on the first anniversary of the option grant, and the
remainder vesting ratably over the following 36 months. Options are exercisable
for a term of five years after the date of grant.

The Company's 1993 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1993 Plan") authorizes the board
of directors to grant incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options for
up to 6,104,356 common shares to employees, consultants, officers and directors
of the Company. The terms of the 1993 Plan are generally similar to the 1989
Plan, except that options are exercisable for a term of ten years after the date
of grant.

In July 1996, the Company's board of directors adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "1996 Plan") which authorizes the board of directors to grant
incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options for up to 800,000 common
shares to employees, consultants, officers and directors of the Company. In
addition, the board of directors also approved an increase of 250,000 in the
number of shares authorized for issuance under the 1993 Plan. The terms of the
1996 Plan are generally the same as the 1993 Plan.

In the event of termination of employment or consulting services, the employee
or consultant shall have the right to exercise any unexercised vested options
within 30 or 90 days of the date of termination.

Under all three plans, employees may exercise options in exchange for a secured
promissory note. In 1996, the Company issued a note for $60,000 bearing interest
at 6.58% and due and payable beginning in June 1997 through June 2000. In 1995,
the Company issued two notes for $750,000 and $52,500 bearing interest at 6.04%
and 5.88%, respectively, which are due and payable beginning in September 1996
through September 2000. As of December 31, 1996, $236,250 of principal had been
repaid on these notes.

The Company has recorded deferred compensation expense of $625,000 to reflect
the difference between the grant price and the deemed fair value of certain of
the Company's common stock options granted in 1995 and 1996. This amount is
being amortized over a 48-month period consistent with the vesting period of the
individual options. Compensation expense recognized in the year ended December
31, 1996 totaled $117,000.

In July 1996, the Company's board of directors adopted the 1996 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") which authorizes the issuance of 300,000
shares of common stock to its full-time employees, nearly all of whom are
eligible to participate. Under the terms of the Purchase Plan, shares may be
purchased at 85% of the lessor of the fair market value of the common stock on
the grant or purchase date. Employees can choose to have up to 10% of their
annual earnings (including base earnings, bonuses and commissions) withheld to
purchase the Company's common stock, subject to a maximum of 500 shares during
any six-month purchase period. Approximately 80% percent of eligible employees
are participating in the plan which began on October 25, 1996. No shares were
purchased under the Purchase Plan in 1996.

6. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock issued to Employees" (APB No. 25) and related

 
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because, as
discussed below, the alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS
No. 123 requires use of options valuation models that were not developed for use
in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price
of the Company's employee stock option equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of the Statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the
year ended December 31:

 
 
 
                                    1996       1995
                                    ----       ----
                                         
                                    
 Risk-free interest rate %          6.00       6.21
 Dividend yield %                      0          0
 Volatility of market price %(1)      51          0
 Expected option life, years        2.77       2.70



    (1) Since the Company was not public during 1995, the minimum-value method
    was used for 1995 whereby volatility is assumed to be 0%. Options granted
    in 1996 during the period in which the Company was not public were also
    valued using the minimum value method. There was only one grant in 1996
    that was issued subsequent to the Company's initial public offering, and
    that grant was valued using the indicated volatility assumption.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Had the compensation
cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined consistent with SFAS
No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced
to the pro forma amounts indicated below for the year ended December 31 (in
thousands, except earnings per share data):



                                       1996      1995
                                     --------  --------
                                        
 
Net income:
         As reported                  $5,405    $2,173
         Pro forma                     5,218     2,135
Primary earnings per share:                    
         As reported                  $ 0.28    $ 0.12
         Pro forma                      0.27      0.12
Fully diluted earnings per share:              
         As reported                  $ 0.28    $ 0.12
         Pro forma                      0.27      0.12


Because SFAS No. 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to 1994,
its proforma effect will not be fully reflected until 2000.

Infinity Financial Technology, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Infinity
Financial Technology, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 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 consolidated financial position of
Infinity Financial Technology, Inc. at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.
