SUNGARD DATA SYSTEMS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation:

SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard” or the “Company”) was acquired on August 11, 2005 (the “Transaction”) by a consortium of private equity investment funds associated with Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake and TPG (collectively, the “Sponsors”).

SunGard is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunGard Holdco LLC, which is wholly owned by SunGard Holding Corp., which is wholly owned by SunGard Capital Corp. II, which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp. All of these companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.”

SunGard has four reportable segments: Financial Systems (“FS”), Higher Education (“HE”), Public Sector (“PS”) and Availability Services (“AS”). The Company’s Software & Processing Solutions business is comprised of the FS, HE and PS segments. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements exclude the accounts of the Holding Companies.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interim financial reporting does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141R”), which changes accounting principles for business acquisitions. SFAS 141R requires the recognition of all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction based on the acquisition-date fair value. Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of consideration paid or payable in a business combination and change accounting practices for transaction costs, acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations and adjustments to all acquisition-related deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this standard; however, this standard could have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). The objective of SFAS 160 is to improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective January 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial statements, but would not expect SFAS 160 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is intended to help investors better understand how derivative instruments and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows through enhanced disclosure requirements. SFAS 161 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but would not expect SFAS 161 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”).

FSP 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset determined under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this staff position but would not expect FSP 142-3 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions:

The Company seeks to acquire businesses that broaden its existing product lines and service offerings by adding complementary products and service offerings and by expanding its geographic reach. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company completed three acquisitions in its FS segment and one acquisition in its AS segment. Cash paid, net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments, was $174 million. The allocations of purchase price for these acquisitions and one completed late in 2007 are preliminary. See Note 10, Subsequent Events.

The following table lists the businesses the Company acquired in the first nine months of 2008:


Acquired Company/Business	Date Acquired	Description
Advanced Portfolio Technologies, Inc.	2/29/2008	Portfolio optimization and risk management software.

Corporate Payments Division of Payformance Corporation	2/29/2008	Integrated electronic and outsourced payment solutions.

Strohl Systems Group, Inc.	5/21/2008	Business continuity planning software.

Delphi Technologies Ltd.	7/1/2008	Consulting and IT professional services to banks and insurance companies in Ireland.

3. Clearing Broker Assets and Liabilities:

Clearing broker assets and liabilities are comprised of the following (in millions):


	December 31, 2007		September 30, 2008
Segregated customer cash and treasury bills	$	109	$	199
Securities owned		25		31
Securities borrowed		302		181
Receivables from customers and other		33		51

Clearing broker assets	$	469	$	462

Payables to customers	$	114	$	223
Securities loaned		271		123
Customer securities sold short, not yet purchased		16		5
Payable to brokers and dealers		33		108

Clearing broker liabilities	$	434	$	459

Segregated customer cash and treasury bills are held by the Company on behalf of customers. Clearing broker securities consist of trading and investment securities at fair market values, which are based on quoted market rates. Securities borrowed and loaned are collateralized financing transactions which are cash deposits made to or received from other broker/dealers. Receivables from and payables to customers represent amounts due or payable on cash and margin transactions.

4. Debt:

Incremental Senior Secured Term Loan

On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) by and among the Company, SunGard Holdco LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain lenders (including new incremental term lenders) party thereto to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 11, 2005. The Second Amendment increased the amount of term loan borrowings by the Company under the Credit Agreement by $500 million (“Incremental Term Loan”) and changed certain terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loan, including the definitions of (i) “Applicable Rate” which was changed for each Incremental Term Loan to be, as of any date of determination, (x) for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 3.75% per annum, and (y) for Base Rate Loans, 2.75%; (ii) “Base Rate” which was changed for Incremental Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to 4.00% if the Base Rate, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, is less than 4.00%; and (iii) “Eurocurrency Rate” which was changed for Incremental Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans to 3.00% if the Eurocurrency Rate, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, is less than 3.00%. The interest rate at September 30, 2008 was 7.75%. The Credit Agreement contains standard covenants and representations and warranties.

Senior Indenture and Senior Notes Due 2015

On September 29, 2008, the Company issued at a $6 million discount $500 million aggregate principal amount of 10.625% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) that mature on May 15, 2015. The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness; rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and subordinated indebtedness; and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s secured indebtedness (including obligations under the senior secured credit facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that are not guarantors. All obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the indenture. In addition, upon a change of control, the Company is required to make an offer to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the Notes contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens securing certain debt without securing the Notes, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The Notes contain registration rights by which the Company has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to register with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission notes having substantially identical terms. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer to be completed or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 360 days after the issue date of the Notes.

If the Company fails to meet this target (a “registration default”) with respect to the Notes, the annual interest rate on the Notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the Notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per year over the applicable interest rate. If the registration default is corrected or, if it is not corrected, upon the two year anniversary of the issue date of the Notes, the applicable interest rate on such Notes will revert to the original level.

As a result of issuing $500 million of Notes and amending the Credit Agreement to increase borrowings by $500 million in September 2008, debt maturities have increased from amounts reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as follows: $1 million for 2008, $5 million for each of the years 2009 through 2012 and $979 million for 2013 and thereafter.

5. Income Taxes:

The Company’s reserve for unrecognized income tax benefits at September 30, 2008 is $20 million. This liability includes approximately $3 million (net of federal and state benefit) in accrued interest and penalties. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

At any time some portion of the Company’s operations are under audit. The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the calendar years 2003 through 2006. In addition, various state and foreign jurisdiction tax years remain open to examination. Based on the outcome of these audits, it is reasonably possible that certain matters may be resolved within the next 12 months and the reserve for unrecognized income tax benefits could change. The Company is unable to estimate the range of any possible adjustment at this time.

6. Fair Value Measurements:

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosure about the use of fair value measures. The Company adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008 with no impact on its financial position or operating results. FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement 157, permits the Company to defer recognition and measurement of nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis until January 1, 2009.

The fair value hierarchy, as defined by SFAS 157, is as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2008 (in millions):


	Fair Value Measures Using
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
Clearing broker assets - securities owned	$	31	$	—	$	—	$	31
Retained interest in accounts receivable sold		—		—		237		237

	$	31	$	—	$	237	$	268

Liabilities
Clearing broker liabilities - customer securities sold short, not yet purchased	$	5	$	—	$	—	$	5
Interest rate swap agreements		—		23		—		23

	$	5	$	23	$	—	$	28

Clearing broker assets and liabilities – securities owned and customer securities sold short, not yet purchased are recorded at closing exchange-quoted prices. Retained interest in accounts receivable sold is calculated using a discounted cash flow model using an applicable market interest rate and assumptions based upon collection period. Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and currency option are based on market prices obtained from brokers. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the fair value of retained interest in accounts receivable sold decreased $27 million and $6 million, respectively, from $264 million at June 30, 2008 and $243 million at December 31, 2007 resulting from purchases, issuances and settlements.

7. Comprehensive Income (Loss):

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) adjusted for other increases and decreases affecting stockholder’s equity that are excluded from the determination of net income (loss). The calculation of comprehensive income (loss) follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007			2008			2007			2008
Net income (loss)	$	11		$	(35	)	$	(90	)	$	(55	)
Foreign currency translation gains (losses)		31			(121	)		53			(101	)
Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments		(15	)		(3	)		(9	)		6

Comprehensive income (loss)	$	27		$	(159	)	$	(46	)	$	(150	)

8. Segment Information:

The Company has four reportable segments: FS, HE and PS, which together form the Company’s Software & Processing Solutions business, and AS. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on operating results before interest, income taxes, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock compensation and certain other costs. The operating results for each segment follow (in millions):

In accordance with the Management Agreement between the Company and affiliates of the Sponsors, the Company recorded $6 million and $4 million of management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively. In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company recorded $13 million and $14 million, respectively, of management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses. At December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, $4 million and $5 million, respectively, was included in other accrued expenses.

10. Subsequent events:

GL TRADE

On October 1, 2008, the Company completed its purchase of approximately 64.5% of GL TRADE S.A., a company organized under the laws of France (“GL TRADE”) for €41.70 per share (the “Block”), or approximately $390 million, pursuant to a share purchase agreement executed on September 19, 2008. In addition, the Company continued to acquire additional shares of GL TRADE by way of market purchases and through a tender offer (the “Offer”) made at a maximum price of €41.70 per share. As a result of these acquisitions, as of October 31, 2008, the Company owns just over 8 million shares of GL TRADE representing approximately 82% of the share capital and voting rights of GL TRADE.

In the event that the Company owns directly or indirectly at least 95% of the share capital and voting rights of GL TRADE, we will implement a mandatory squeeze-out resulting in the Company holding 100% of the outstanding shares of GL TRADE and in the latter being de-listed.

The Company expects the purchase price of GL TRADE, including transaction costs, to be approximately $619 million.

Receivables Facility

The lenders under the Company’s insured receivables credit agreement, dated August 11, 2005, as amended (the “Receivables Facility”), are beneficiaries of a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (“FGIC”). The provisions of the policy permit the lenders to terminate the policy at any time if FGIC has a long term debt rating from either S&P or Moody’s that is below BBB+ or Baa1. FGIC’s ratings are currently below such thresholds. If the lenders were to elect to terminate the policy in circumstances where the Company was unable to provide a replacement policy acceptable to the lenders, the loans under the Receivables Facility would amortize from receivables collections until paid in full and the Receivables Facility would terminate upon such payment in full.

On July 31, 2008, SunGard Funding LLC and SunGard Financing LLC entered into an agreement and amendment (the “Amendment Agreement”) with FGIC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citicorp North America, Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG. In the Amendment Agreement, the lenders agreed to not exercise their option to cancel the FGIC policy for a standstill period that would end 14 days after the lenders received a satisfactory audit of the Company’s receivables but in no event earlier than September 29, 2008 and no later than October 29, 2008.

On October 29, 2008, SunGard Funding LLC and SunGard Financing LLC entered into an agreement and amendment (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with FGIC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citicorp North America, Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Falcon Asset Securitization LLC, Charta, LLC and Nantucket Funding Corp., LLC. In the Second Amendment Agreement, the lenders extended their agreement to not exercise their option to cancel the FGIC policy for a standstill period (the “Extended Standstill Period”) that will end on December 19, 2008. In the Second Amendment Agreement, the parties also agreed to (a) during the Extended Standstill Period, negotiate in good faith a restructuring of the Receivables Facility and (b) amend the scheduled early amortization date of the Receivables Facility from August 11, 2011 to December 19, 2008. If a restructuring of the Receivables Facility is not agreed upon by the end of the Extended Standstill Period, the loans under the Receivables Facility will amortize from receivables collections until paid in full and the Receivables Facility will terminate upon such payment in full. Also, on October 29, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the aggregate limit on the amount of the Receivables Facility was stepped down from a maximum of $450 million to $200 million. To the extent that the Company needs to replace the remainder of the borrowings under the Receivables Facility with other indebtedness, the Company expects that it will be able to do so.

11. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:

On August 11, 2005, in connection with the Transaction, the Company issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes and senior subordinated notes, $2.6 billion of which was outstanding at September 30, 2008. On September 29, 2008, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, all of which was outstanding at September 30, 2008. The senior notes and the Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis and the senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. None of the other subsidiaries of the Company, either direct or indirect, guarantee the senior notes and senior subordinated notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors also unconditionally guarantee the senior secured credit facilities.

The following tables present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company (“Parent”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and Eliminations as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008 and for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2008, to arrive at the information for SunGard Data Systems Inc. on a consolidated basis.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared To Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Income from Operations:

Our total operating margin was 10% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 13% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to the decline in operating margins at each of our operating segments.

Financial Systems:

The FS operating margin was 18% and 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline reflects an $8 million decrease in software license revenue and the impacts of the increase in revenue at one of our trading systems businesses which has an inherently lower margin.

Higher Education:

The HE operating margin was 24% and 27% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in operating margin reflects a $3 million decrease in software license revenue.

Public Sector:

The PS operating margin was 17% and 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in operating margin is due primarily to the impact of significantly lower margins in the U.K. businesses and a $2 million decrease in software license fees, partially offset by improved operating performance of the U.S. businesses.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 29% and 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily due to facility expansions in both North America and Europe.

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $172 million or 14% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. The increase in total revenue in 2008 is due primarily to organic revenue growth of approximately 11%, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding nine percentage points to the growth rate. Organic revenue is defined as revenue for businesses owned for at least one year and further adjusted for the effects of businesses sold in the previous twelve months. When assessing our financial results, we focus on growth in organic revenue because overall revenue growth is affected by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions and dispositions.

Financial Systems:

FS revenue increased $152 million or 24% in 2008. Organic revenue growth was approximately 22% in the third quarter of 2008, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $112 million or 18 percentage points to the growth rate. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix. We expect this revenue to decline at some point but are unable to predict the timing. Professional services revenue increased $19 million or 13%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $35 million and $43 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Higher Education:

HE revenue decreased $3 million or 2% organically for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3 million from the prior year period.

Public Sector:

PS revenue decreased $6 million or 6% organically for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007, three percent of which is due to changes in currency exchange rates. PS services revenue

decreased $5 million due to a decrease in professional services revenue. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $2 million from the prior year period.

Availability Services:

AS revenue increased $29 million or 8% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007. Organic revenue increased approximately 3%. In North America, revenue grew 10% overall and 2% organically resulting primarily from strong growth in managed services, offset in part by a net decrease in “always ready” and advanced recovery services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $3 million from the prior year period due to a recently acquired business. Revenue in Europe grew 3% overall, 4% organically, and 6% excluding the impact of currency exchange rates.

Costs and Expenses:

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 52% and 48% in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, largely the result of higher volumes of one of our trading systems businesses. Also impacting the quarter were increased costs as a result of acquired businesses and an increase in AS facilities costs.

The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $5 million, or 2%, was due primarily to increased costs as a result of acquired businesses and an insurance recovery in the third quarter of 2007.

Because AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from software and processing solutions. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, product development costs were 8% of revenue from software and processing solutions.

Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% in each of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The $7 million increase in 2008 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting AS and FS and from the AS business acquired in the third quarter of 2007.

Interest expense was $142 million and $161 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to interest rate decreases, partially offset by additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Other expense was $24 million and $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is primarily due to losses on Euros purchased in advance of and fees associated with unused alternative financing commitments for the acquisition of GL TRADE.

The effective income tax rates in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were (35)% and 375%, respectively. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2008 reflects changes in the overall projected taxable position for the year and the expected mix of taxable income in various jurisdictions, and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2007 reflects a change in the expected mix of taxable income in various jurisdictions included in the overall projected taxable position for the year and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits and due to changes in enacted tax rates in certain state and foreign jurisdictions.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared To Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Income from Operations:

Our total operating margin was 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 12% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily due to the decline in operating margins at each of our operating segments.

Financial Systems:

The FS operating margin was 18% and 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline reflects the impacts of the increase in revenue at one of our trading systems businesses which has an inherently lower margin and a $9 million decrease in software license revenue.

Higher Education:

The HE operating margin was 23% and 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline and the decrease of $8 million are due primarily to an $11 million decrease in software license fees.

Public Sector:

The PS operating margin was 18% and 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The operating margin decline and the decrease of $7 million are due primarily to the impact of significantly lower margins in the U.K. businesses and a $3 million decrease in software license fees, partially offset by improved operating performance of the U.S. businesses.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 28% and 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, primarily due to facility expansions in both North America and Europe.

Revenue:

Total revenue increased $540 million or 15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase in total revenue in 2008 is due primarily to organic revenue growth of approximately 12%, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding six percentage points to the growth rate.

Financial Systems:

FS revenue increased $416 million or 24% in 2008. Organic revenue growth was approximately 21% in the first nine months of 2008, with trading volumes of one of our trading systems businesses adding $235 million or 13 percentage points to the growth rate and changes in currency exchange rates adding two percentage points. The broker/dealer revenue has remained uncharacteristically high and is a function of market volatility and customer mix. We expect this revenue to decline at some point but are unable to predict the timing. Professional services revenue increased $71 million or 17%. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $117 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, a $9 million decrease from the prior year period.

Higher Education:

HE revenue increased $4 million or 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007 due entirely to organic revenue growth. HE services revenue increased $17 million, primarily in professional services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $20 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $11 million from the prior year period.

Public Sector:

PS revenue increased $8 million or 3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007. Organic revenue growth was 1% in the first nine months of 2008. PS services revenue increased $8 million, primarily due to maintenance and support revenue and processing revenue, partially offset by a decrease in professional services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $18 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $3 million from the prior year period.

Availability Services:

AS revenue increased $112 million or 11% in 2008. Organic revenue increased approximately 4%. In North America, revenue grew 11% overall and 3% organically resulting primarily from strong growth in managed services, offset in part by a net decrease in “always ready” and advanced recovery services. Revenue from license and resale fees included software license revenue of $7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $5 million from the prior year period due to a recently acquired business that offset a $5 million decrease in resale fees. Revenue in Europe grew 10%, all organic.

Costs and Expenses:

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 50% and 47% in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, largely the result of higher volumes of one of our trading systems businesses. Also impacting the period were increased costs resulting from acquired businesses, an increase in AS facilities costs and from an increase in FS employee-related expenses supporting increased services revenue.

The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $67 million, or 9%, was due primarily to AS employee-related expenses and increased costs resulting from acquired businesses, partially offset by an unfavorable arbitration award related to a customer dispute in the second quarter of 2007.

Because AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to measure product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from software and processing solutions. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, product development costs were 8% of revenue from software and processing solutions.

Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenue was 5% in each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The $24 million increase in 2008 was due primarily to capital expenditures supporting AS and FS and from the AS business acquired in the third quarter of 2007.

Interest expense was $433 million and $485 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to interest rate decreases and the redemption of the senior floating rate notes in 2007, partially offset by additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Other expense was $49 million and $51 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease is attributable to $28 million of expense in the first quarter of 2007 associated with the redemption of the $400 million of senior floating rate notes due 2013, of which $19 million represented the redemption premium paid to noteholders, partially offset by losses on Euros purchased in advance of and fees associated with unused alternative financing commitments for the acquisition of GL TRADE and an increase in the first nine months of 2008 of foreign currency translation losses primarily related to our Euro denominated term loan.

The effective income tax rates in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were 14% and 19%, respectively. The rate in 2008 reflects changes in the overall projected taxable position for the year and the expected mix of taxable income in various jurisdictions, and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits. The rate in 2007 reflects a change in the expected mix of taxable income in various jurisdictions included in the overall projected taxable loss and limitations on our ability to utilize certain foreign tax credits and due to changes in enacted tax rates in certain state and foreign jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

At September 30, 2008, cash and equivalents were $1.59 billion, an increase of $1.16 billion from December 31, 2007 primarily due to borrowing in September 2008 to fund the acquisition of GL TRADE S.A. (See discussion below).

Cash flow provided by operations was $389 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $329 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The improvement in cash flow from operations is due primarily to reduced interest payments as a result of decreases in interest rates on our variable rate debt and the redemption of the senior floating rate notes due 2013, including the redemption premium paid to noteholders in 2007, and improvement in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA,” as defined and calculated below), partially offset by higher income tax payments and incentive compensation payments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $452 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, primarily comprised of cash paid for property and equipment and other assets, and to acquire four businesses, three in our FS segment and one in our AS segment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.24 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the proceeds of which will be used to fund the acquisition of GL TRADE (as described below), repay $250 million of senior notes due in January 2009 and replace the downsized portion of the accounts receivable securitization facility. At September 30, 2008, there was $381 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

At September 30, 2008, contingent purchase price obligations that depend upon the operating performance of certain acquired businesses could total $76 million. Of this amount, we currently do not expect to pay any. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $26 million.

At September 30, 2008, we have outstanding $8.77 billion in aggregate indebtedness, with additional borrowing capacity of $603 million under our revolving credit facility (after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit). Also, at September 30, 2008, we had outstanding $448 million under our $450 million off-balance sheet accounts receivable securitization facility.

As a result of issuing $500 million of the Notes and amending the Credit Agreement to increase borrowings by $500 million in September 2008, contractual debt payments have increased from amounts reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 as follows: $1 million for 2008, $5 million for each of the years 2009 to 2012 and $979 million for 2013 and thereafter. Contractual interest payments have increased from 2007 as follows: $10 million for 2008, $183 million for 2009-2010, $181 million for 2011-2012 and $153 million for 2013 and thereafter.

We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility to provide sufficient liquidity to complete the acquisition of GL TRADE, fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending for a period that includes the next 12 months.

Incremental Senior Secured Term Loan

On September 29, 2008, we entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) by and among the Company, SunGard Holdco LLC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain lenders (including new incremental term lenders) party thereto to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 11, 2005. The Second Amendment increased the amount of term loan borrowings by us under the Credit Agreement by $500 million (“Incremental Term Loan”) and changed certain terms applicable to the Incremental Term Loan, including the definitions of (i) “Applicable Rate” which was changed for each Incremental Term Loan to be, as of any date of determination, (x) for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 3.75% per annum, and (y) for Base Rate Loans, 2.75%; (ii) “Base Rate” which was changed for Incremental Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to 4.00% if the Base Rate, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, is less than 4.00%; and (iii) “Eurocurrency Rate” which was changed for Incremental Term Loans that are Eurocurrency Rate Loans to 3.00% if the Eurocurrency Rate, as determined pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, is less than 3.00%. The interest rate at September 30, 2008 was 7.75%. The Credit Agreement contains standard covenants and representations and warranties.

Senior Indenture and Senior Notes Due 2015

On September 29, 2008, we issued at a $6 million discount $500 million aggregate principal amount of 10.625% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) that mature on May 15, 2015. The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness; rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and subordinated indebtedness; and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to our secured indebtedness (including obligations under the senior secured credit facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each of our existing and future subsidiaries that are not guarantors. All obligations under the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all of our domestic, 100% wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the indenture. In addition, upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to redeem all of the senior notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture governing the Notes contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens securing certain debt without securing the Notes, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

The Notes contain registration rights by which we have agreed to use our reasonable efforts to register with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission notes having substantially identical terms. We will use our reasonable best efforts to cause the exchange offer to be completed or, if required, to have one or more shelf registration statements declared effective, within 360 days after the issue date of the Notes.

If we fail to meet this target (a “registration default”) with respect to the Notes, the annual interest rate on the Notes will increase by 0.25%. The annual interest rate on the Notes will increase by an additional 0.25% for each subsequent 90-day period

during which the registration default continues, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per year over the applicable interest rate. If the registration default is corrected or, if it is not corrected, upon the two year anniversary of the issue date of the Notes, the applicable interest rate on such Notes will revert to the original level.

Acquisition of GL TRADE S.A.

On October 1, 2008, we completed its purchase of approximately 64.5% of GL TRADE S.A., a company organized under the laws of France (“GL TRADE”) for €41.70 per share (the “Block”), or approximately $390 million, pursuant to a share purchase agreement executed on September 19, 2008. In addition, we continued to acquire additional shares of GL TRADE by way of market purchases and through a tender offer (the “Offer”) made at a maximum price of €41.70 per share. As a result of these acquisitions, as of October 31, 2008, we own just over 8 million shares of GL TRADE representing approximately 82% of the share capital and voting rights of GL TRADE.

In the event that we own directly or indirectly at least 95% of the share capital and voting rights of GL TRADE, we will implement a mandatory squeeze-out resulting in us holding 100% of the outstanding shares of GL TRADE and in the latter being de-listed.

We expect the purchase price of GL TRADE, including transaction costs, to be approximately $619 million.

Receivables Facility

The lenders under our insured receivables credit agreement, dated August 11, 2005, as amended (the “Receivables Facility”), are beneficiaries of a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (“FGIC”). The provisions of the policy permit the lenders to terminate the policy at any time if FGIC has a long term debt rating from either S&P or Moody’s that is below BBB+ or Baa1. FGIC’s ratings are currently below such thresholds. If the lenders were to elect to terminate the policy in circumstances where we were unable to provide a replacement policy acceptable to the lenders, the loans under the Receivables Facility would amortize from receivables collections until paid in full and the Receivables Facility would terminate upon such payment in full.

On July 31, 2008, SunGard Funding LLC and SunGard Financing LLC entered into an agreement and amendment (the “Amendment Agreement”) with FGIC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citicorp North America, Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG. In the Amendment Agreement, the lenders agreed to not exercise their option to cancel the FGIC policy for a standstill period that would end 14 days after the lenders received a satisfactory audit of our receivables but in no event earlier than September 29, 2008 and no later than October 29, 2008.

On October 29, 2008, SunGard Funding LLC and SunGard Financing LLC entered into an agreement and amendment (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) with FGIC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citicorp North America, Inc., Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, Falcon Asset Securitization LLC, Charta, LLC and Nantucket Funding Corp., LLC. In the Second Amendment Agreement, the lenders extended their agreement to not exercise their option to cancel the FGIC policy for a standstill period (the “Extended Standstill Period”) that will end on December 19, 2008. In the Second Amendment Agreement, the parties also agreed to (a) during the Extended Standstill Period, negotiate in good faith a restructuring of the Receivables Facility and (b) amend the scheduled early amortization date of the Receivables Facility from August 11, 2011 to December 19, 2008. If a restructuring of the Receivables Facility is not agreed upon by the end of the Extended Standstill Period, the loans under the Receivables Facility will amortize from receivables collections until paid in full and the Receivables Facility will terminate upon such payment in full. Also, on October 29, 2008, pursuant to the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the aggregate limit on the amount of the Receivables Facility was stepped down from a maximum of $450 million to $200 million. To the extent that we need to replace the remainder of the borrowings under the Receivables Facility with other indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to do so.

Covenant Compliance

Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in the indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 and in our senior secured credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indentures and our senior secured credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financing covenants.

The breach of covenants in our senior secured credit facilities that are tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement and the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under our indentures. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,						Last Twelve Months September 30,
	2007			2008			2007			2008			2008
Net income (loss)	$	11		$	(35	)	$	(90	)	$	(55	)	$	(25	)
Interest expense, net		157			138			472			420			574
Taxes		(15	)		9			(21	)		(9	)		9
Depreciation and amortization		173			201			502			568			755

EBITDA		326			313			863			924			1,313
Purchase accounting adjustments (a)		5			25			8			45			51
Non-cash charges (b)		8			8			23			22			36
Unusual or non-recurring charges (c)		(4	)		9			38			17			22
Acquired EBITDA, net of disposed EBITDA (d)		5			5			13			13			12
Other (e)		13			7			22			31			47

Adjusted EBITDA — senior secured credit facilities		353			367			967			1,052			1,481
Loss on sale of receivables (f)		5			4			21			13			21

Adjusted EBITDA — senior notes due 2013 and senior subordinated notes due 2015	$	358		$	371		$	988		$	1,065		$	1,502

(a)	Purchase accounting adjustments include the adjustment of deferred revenue and lease reserves to fair value at the date of the Transaction and subsequent acquisitions made by the Company and certain acquisition-related compensation expense.

(b)	Non-cash charges include stock-based compensation accounted for under SFAS 123R and loss on the sale of assets.

(c)	Unusual or non-recurring charges include severance and certain payroll taxes, and certain other expenses associated with acquisitions made by the Company.

(d)	Acquired EBITDA, net of disposed EBITDA, reflects the EBITDA impact of businesses that were acquired or disposed of during the period as if the acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of the period.

(e)	Other includes gains or losses related to fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates, management fees paid to the Sponsors and franchise and similar taxes reported in operating expenses, partially offset by interest charges relating to the accounts receivable securitization facility.

(f)

The loss on sale of receivables under the long-term receivables facility is added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the indentures governing the senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and the senior subordinated notes due 2015 but is not added back in calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the senior secured credit facilities.

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008 are as follows:


	Covenant Requirements	Actual Ratios
Senior secured credit facilities ⁽¹⁾
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio	1.60x	2.75x
Maximum total debt to Adjusted EBITDA	7.25x	4.90x

Senior notes due 2013 and 2015 and senior subordinated notes due 2015 ⁽²⁾
Minimum Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio required to incur additional debt pursuant to ratio provisions	2.00x	2.75x

(1)

Our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain an Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio starting at a minimum of 1.60x for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2007, which increases annually to 1.65x by the end of 2008 and 2.20x by the end of 2013. Consolidated interest expense is defined in the senior secured credit facilities as consolidated

cash interest expense less cash interest income further adjusted for certain non-cash or non-recurring interest expense and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our accounts receivable securitization facility. Beginning with the four-quarter period ending December 31, 2007, we are required to maintain a consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 7.25x, which decreases annually to 6.75x by the end of 2008 and to 4.0x by the end of 2013. Consolidated total debt is defined in the senior secured credit facilities as total debt less certain indebtedness and further adjusted for cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet in excess of $50 million. Failure to satisfy these ratio requirements would constitute a default under the senior secured credit facilities. If our lenders failed to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior secured credit facilities could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under our indentures.

(2)

Our ability to incur additional debt and make certain restricted payments under our indentures, subject to specified exceptions, is tied to an Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of at least 2.0x, except that we may incur certain debt and make certain restricted payments and certain permitted investments without regard to the ratio, such as our ability to incur up to an aggregate principal amount of $6.15 billion under credit facilities (inclusive of amounts outstanding under our senior credit facilities from time to time; as of September 30, 2008, we had $4.79 billion outstanding under our term loan facilities and available commitments of $603 million under our revolving credit facility), to acquire persons engaged in a similar business that become restricted subsidiaries and to make other investments equal to 6% of our consolidated assets. Fixed charges is defined in the indentures governing the Senior Notes due 2013 and the Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 as consolidated interest expense less interest income, adjusted for acquisitions, and further adjusted for non-cash interest and the elimination of interest expense and fees associated with our accounts receivable securitization facility.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

Certain of the matters we discuss in this Report on Form 10-Q may constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: our high degree of leverage; general economic and market conditions; the condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism, natural disasters or other catastrophic events; the effect of disruptions to our systems and infrastructure; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; customers taking their information availability solutions in-house; the trend in information availability toward solutions utilizing more dedicated resources; the market and credit risks associated with clearing broker operations; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; risks relating to the foreign countries where we transact business; the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents; and a material weakness in our internal controls. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk:

We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, with a substantial portion having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.

At September 30, 2008, we had total debt of $8.77 billion, including $5.17 billion of variable rate debt. We have entered into four interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $3.1 billion of our variable rate debt. Two of our swap agreements each have a notional value of $800 million and, effectively, fix our interest rates at 4.85% and 5.00%, respectively, and expire in February 2009 and February 2011, respectively. The remaining two swap agreements each have a notional value of $750 million and, effectively, fix our interest rates at 2.71% and 3.17%, respectively, and expire in February 2010 and February 2011, respectively. Our remaining variable rate debt of $2.07 billion is subject to changes in underlying interest rates, and, accordingly, our interest payments will fluctuate. During the period when all of our interest rate swap agreements are effective, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $21 million per year. Upon the expiration of each interest rate swap agreement in February 2009, February 2010 and February 2011, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $29 million, $36 million and $52 million per year, respectively.

Item 4T.

Controls and Procedures:

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report were effective.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
