NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation:

SunGard Data Systems Inc. has three segments: Investment Support Systems (ISS), Availability Services (AS) and Higher Education and Public Sector Systems (HE/PS). 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 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, 2003. 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 six and three months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

2. Acquisitions and Dispositions:

ACQUISITIONS:

The Company seeks to grow through both internal development and the acquisition of businesses that broaden or complement its existing product lines. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company completed five acquisitions in its ISS segment and three acquisitions in its HE/PS segment. Gross cash paid was $883 million, subject to certain adjustments, and there was $508 million of goodwill recorded in connection with these acquisitions, including the acquisition of Systems & Computer Technology Corporation (SCT) on February 12, 2004 for approximately $574 million in cash. SCT is part of the HE/PS segment.

The following table lists the businesses the Company acquired since January 1, 2004:

Acquired Company/Business	Date Acquired	Description
FAME Information Services, Inc.	01/22/04	Historical market and reference data, and data management technology.
Systems & Computer Technology Corporation	02/12/04	Global technology solutions for higher education.

At June 30, 2004, the purchase-price allocations to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for SCT and Open Software Solutions, Inc. (OSSI) are preliminary and subject to finalization of independent appraisals of acquired software and customer base, deferred income taxes and facility integration plans. The preliminary purchase-price allocation for the SCT acquisition follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2004
Property and equipment	$	22,803
Software products		113,329
Customer base		120,700
Goodwill		287,658

Purchase price obligations and debt assumed		(16,981	)
Net current liabilities assumed		(15,135	)
Cash paid, net of cash acquired of $123,604	$	450,555

In connection with nine previously acquired businesses, up to $195 million could be paid as additional consideration over the next two years depending on the future operating results of those businesses. The amounts paid, if any, are recorded as additional goodwill at the time the actual performance is known and the amounts become due. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid $15 million as additional consideration based upon the operating performance of a business previously acquired.

Balances at June 30, 2004	$	616,114		$	622,525		$	557,875		$	1,796,514

Because of the acquisitions completed in 2004, the estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2004 to 2008 contained in Footnote 1 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 has been updated below. In addition, because these allocations are still preliminary, it is likely that the estimated annual amortization expense will continue to be updated as the allocations are finalized. Based on amounts recorded at June 30, 2004, total estimated amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets during each of the years ended December 31 follows (in thousands):

2004	$	118,628

5. Shares Used in Computing Net Income per Common Share:

The computation of shares used in computing basic and diluted net income per common share follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,		Three Months Ended June 30,
	2004	2003	2004	2003
Weighted-average common shares outstanding used for calculation of basic net income per common share	289,129	284,339	289,102	284,744
Dilutive effect of employee stock options	6,939	5,233	6,258	6,042
Total shares used for calculation of diluted net income per common share	296,068	289,572	295,360	290,786

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, there were approximately 16.5 million and 18.8 million outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that are out-of-the-money and therefore excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect of employee stock options. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, there were approximately 18.7 million and 18.0 million outstanding employee stock options, respectively, that are out-of-the-money and therefore excluded from the calculation of the dilutive effect of employee stock options. Stock options are considered to be out-of-the-money when the option exercise price exceeds the average share price during the respective periods. The range of exercise prices for out-of-the-money options for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2004 is $27.81 to $32.81 per share and $26.89 to $32.81 per share, respectively.

In February 2004, the Company announced a five million share repurchase program to provide

shares for the Company’s employee stock purchase and stock option programs which expires in February 2005. There were 2.5 million shares repurchased under the program in the three month period ended June 30, 2004 for a total cost of $65.9 million.

6. Comprehensive Income:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis supplement the management’s discussion and analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and presume that readers have read or have access to the discussion and analysis in our Annual Report. The following discussion and analysis includes historical and certain forward-looking information that should be read together with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, related footnotes, and the discussion below of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause future operating results to differ materially from historical results or from the expected results indicated by forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain amounts included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, the relative percentages that those amounts represent to consolidated revenue (unless otherwise indicated), and the percentage change in those amounts from period to period. All percentages are calculated using actual amounts rounded to the nearest one-hundred thousand and are rounded to the nearest whole percentage.

Internal revenue is defined as revenue from businesses owned for at least one year. When assessing our financial results, we focus on growth in internal revenue because overall revenue growth is affected by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions. In August 2002, we acquired 80% of Brut LLC (Brut), an electronic communications network (ECN), bringing our total ownership to 100%. Since the first year anniversary of that acquisition in August 2003, revenue from Brut has been classified as internal revenue. Since that time, the increase in internal revenue was primarily due to growth in Brut. Due to the pending sale of Brut to NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2004, we are presenting internal revenue growth with and without Brut for the total Company and for ISS for each of the past six quarters, as follows:

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS:

Overall results were consistent with our expectations at the beginning of 2004. Our total operating margin declined to 19% from 20% in 2003 due to the negative impact on margins from acquired ISS businesses offset in part by the positive impact on margins from acquired HE/PS businesses and an improvement in the AS margin. We expect that our 2004 full-year operating margin will approximate our 2003 full-year margin of 21%. For this purpose, we assumed a continuation of the current demand environment for our products and services and an improvement in margins due to the anticipated sale of Brut. In addition, because the timing and magnitude of merger costs are unpredictable, we assumed no further merger-related items in 2004 and we have not taken into account the anticipated gain from the sale of Brut.

Investment Support Systems:

The ISS operating margin was 16% and 19% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The ISS margin declined due primarily to the margins of acquired businesses, which are typically lower at the outset and improve over a number of years. In addition, with revenue from the Brut ECN growing faster than other ISS revenue, the structurally lower margin of ECNs compared to other ISS businesses also compressed the margin.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 29% and 26% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in

14

2004 was due primarily to lower depreciation expense because certain short-lived assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated, a decrease in commission expense resulting from lower sales, and lower costs associated with certain recovery resources.

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

The HE/PS operating margin was 14% and 11% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in 2004 was due primarily to acquired businesses.

REVENUE:

Total revenue increased $331 million in 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Internal revenue increased approximately 4% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 1% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue grew approximately 1% in 2004. Currency fluctuation had a positive impact of approximately 2% on 2004 internal revenue growth.

Services revenue increased to $1.6 billion from $1.3 billion, representing approximately 90% and 91% of total revenue in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems.

Professional services revenue was $245 million and $174 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was due to acquired businesses.

Revenue from license and resale fees was $125 million and $86 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and included software license revenue of $94 million and $72 million, respectively. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

Investment Support Systems:

ISS revenue increased $174 million in 2004. ISS internal revenue increased approximately 6% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 4% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue was unchanged in 2004.

ISS services revenue increased $148 million and ISS license and resale fees increased $4 million. The increase in services revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems. We believe that improvement in internal professional services revenue will depend, in part, on an improved IT spending environment, but will lag an increase in new contract signings. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

Reimbursed expenses revenue increased $21 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003 due to Brut and the inclusion, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business in ISS.

Availability Services:

AS revenue, which is all internal, increased $12 million, or 2%, in 2004 compared to an internal

15

revenue increase of approximately 5% in 2003. The primary factors for the lower internal revenue growth were the loss of business to customers taking certain of their availability solutions in-house, as well as the pressure that this and other competitive and technological factors continue to have on prices. Among our largest customers, there is a trend toward dedicated solutions rather than traditional recovery solutions. The primary reason for this trend is that dedicated solutions, although more costly, provide greater control and faster response to processing interruptions. Many customers choose dedicated solutions provided by us in order to take advantage of our business continuity expertise and resource management capabilities. Other customers, especially among the very largest having significant IT resources, choose to manage these dedicated solutions in-house, often utilizing both ongoing technological advances and their excess data center capacity. When an existing customer augments or replaces a traditional shared SunGard solution with a dedicated SunGard solution, there is a positive impact on AS revenue, but usually at a lower incremental margin. Although we cannot predict the exact mix of customer decisions that will result from the trend toward dedicated solutions, we expect that this trend will continue to create pressure on our AS internal revenue growth rate. We believe that future increases in AS internal revenue will depend, in part, on an improving economy, but will lag an increase in IT capital spending.

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

Revenue from HE/PS increased $146 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003. HE/PS services revenue increased $127 million and license and resale fees increased $29 million, due to acquired businesses. Reimbursed expenses revenue decreased $10 million in 2004 due to the reclassification, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business from HE/PS to ISS.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue to 46% in 2004 compared to 44% for the comparable period in 2003. The increase was due to acquired businesses and to Brut’s structurally higher cost of sales.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses increased $61 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003, due primarily to acquired businesses.

Since AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to look at product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from ISS and HE/PS. Product development costs were 10% and 11% of revenue from ISS and HE/PS in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Capitalized development costs, amortization of previously capitalized development costs, (which is included in depreciation and amortization) and net capitalized development costs in each of the six-month periods follow (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003
Capitalized development costs	$	8.4	$	5.6
Amortization of previously capitalized development costs		5.6		4.0
Net capitalized development costs	$	2.8	$	1.6

16

Depreciation and amortization declined to 6% of total revenue in 2004 compared to 8% for the comparable period in 2003 because certain short-lived AS assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $18 million to $58 million ($0.12 per diluted share compared to $0.08 per diluted share in 2003) due to recently acquired businesses.

Interest income for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $3 million. Interest expense in 2004 and 2003 was $14 million and $5 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to the issuance of $500 million in senior unsecured notes in January 2004.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS:

Our total operating margin declined to 20% from 21% in 2003 due to the negative impact on margins from acquired ISS businesses offset in part by the positive impact on margins from acquired HE/PS businesses and an improvement in the AS margin.

Investment Support Systems:

The ISS operating margin was 17% and 19% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The ISS margin declined due primarily to the margins of acquired businesses, which are typically lower at the outset and improve over a number of years. In addition, with revenue from the Brut ECN growing faster than other ISS revenue, the structurally lower margin of ECNs compared to other ISS businesses also compressed the margin.

Availability Services:

The AS operating margin was 31% and 28% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in 2004 was due primarily to lower depreciation expense because certain short-lived assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated, a decrease in commission expense resulting from lower sales, and lower costs associated with certain recovery resources.

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

The HE/PS operating margin was 15% and 12% in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The higher margin in 2004 was due primarily to acquired businesses.

REVENUE:

Total revenue increased $165 million in 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Internal revenue increased approximately 3% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 1% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue was unchanged in 2004. Currency fluctuation had a positive impact of approximately 2% on 2004 internal revenue growth.

Services revenue increased to $805 million from $666 million, representing approximately 90% and 91% of total revenue in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems.

17

Professional services revenue was $133 million and $94 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was due to acquired businesses.

Revenue from license and resale fees was $70 million and $50 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively, and included software license revenue of $51 million and $41 million, respectively. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

Investment Support Systems:

ISS revenue increased $70 million in 2004. ISS internal revenue increased approximately 4% in 2004 compared to a decrease of approximately 5% in the same period in 2003. Excluding Brut, internal revenue was unchanged in 2004. The increase in Brut in 2004 was offset in part by the negative impact of a treasury and risk management systems acquisition that reached its first year anniversary and is now included in internal revenue.

ISS services revenue increased $60 million and ISS license and resale fees increased $2 million. The increase in services revenue was due primarily to acquired businesses and brokerage and trading systems. We believe that improvement in internal professional services revenue will depend, in part, on an improved IT spending environment, but will lag an increase in new contract signings. The increase in license and resale fees was due primarily to acquired businesses.

Reimbursed expenses revenue increased $8 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003 due to Brut and the inclusion, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business in ISS.

Availability Services:

AS revenue, which is all internal, increased $3 million, or 1%, in 2004 compared to an internal revenue increase of approximately 4% in 2003. The primary factors for the lower internal revenue growth were the loss of business to customers taking certain of their availability solutions in-house, as well as the pressure that this and other competitive and technological factors continue to have on prices. Among our largest customers, there is a trend toward dedicated solutions rather than traditional recovery solutions. The primary reason for this trend is that dedicated solutions, although more costly, provide greater control and faster response to processing interruptions.

Although we cannot predict the exact mix of customer decisions that will result from the trend toward dedicated solutions, we expect that this trend will continue to create pressure on our AS internal revenue growth rate. We believe that future increases in AS internal revenue will depend, in part, on an improving economy, but will lag an increase in IT capital spending.

18

Higher Education and Public Sector Systems:

Revenue from HE/PS increased $92 million in 2004 compared to the corresponding period in 2003. HE/PS services revenue increased $78 million and license and resale fees increased $18 million, due to acquired businesses. Reimbursed expenses revenue decreased $4 million in 2004 due to the reclassification, effective January 1, 2004, of our output solutions business from HE/PS to ISS.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Cost of sales and direct operating expenses increased as a percentage of total revenue to 46% in 2004 compared to 44% for the comparable period in 2003. The increase was due to acquired businesses and the structurally higher cost of sales of Brut.

Sales, marketing and administration expenses were consistent as a percentage of total revenue at 18% in 2004 and 2003. The increase in sales, marketing and administration expenses of $27 million was due primarily to acquired businesses.

Since AS product development costs are insignificant, it is more meaningful to look at product development expenses as a percentage of revenue from ISS and HE/PS. Product development costs were 9% and 11% of revenue from ISS and HE/PS in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Capitalized development costs, amortization of previously capitalized development costs, (which is included in depreciation and amortization) and net capitalized development costs in each of the three-month periods follow (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003
Capitalized development costs	$	4.7	$	2.9
Amortization of previously capitalized development costs		2.8		2.2
Net capitalized development costs	$	1.9	$	0.7

Depreciation and amortization declined to 6% of total revenue in 2004 compared to 8% for the corresponding period in 2003 because certain short-lived AS assets acquired in 2001 are fully depreciated.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets was 4% of total revenue in 2004, compared to 3% for the corresponding period in 2003. Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets increased $9 million to $32 million ($0.06 per diluted share compared to $0.05 per diluted share in 2003) due to recently acquired businesses.

Interest income in 2004 and 2003 was $2 million. Interest expense in 2004 and 2003 was $7 million and $4 million, respectively. The increase in interest expense was due to the issuance of $500 million in senior unsecured notes in January 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $278 million, an increase of $15 million over the comparable period in 2003. The increase in cash flow from operations was due to a

19

$22 million increase in net income and a $27 million benefit from non-cash expenses (depreciation, amortization and deferred income taxes), which were offset in part by a $19 million net increase in clearing broker assets and liabilities and a $15 million net increase in other working capital items. The net increase in clearing broker assets and liabilities is related to the timing of customer securities borrowing activities at the end of the second quarter of 2004.

At June 30, 2004, cash and equivalents were $312 million, a decrease of $167 million from December 31, 2003. Earned but unbilled receivables increased $59 million since December 31, 2003, including $48 million relating to HE/PS, a substantial portion of which results from SCT’s practice of billing maintenance services annually in arrears. At June 30, 2004, we had $50 million of short-term debt and $652 million of long-term debt, while stockholders’ equity exceeded $2.9 billion. On January 15, 2004, we borrowed $500 million by issuing senior unsecured notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, we spent $749 million (net of cash acquired) on acquisitions, $114 million on capital expenditures and $66 million to repurchase common stock under our stock repurchase program announced February 2004. We believe that capital spending in 2004 will not exceed $250 million.

In addition to our short- and long-term debt, our remaining commitments consist primarily of operating leases for computer equipment and facilities; purchase obligations, consisting of the minimum outstanding obligations under non-cancelable commitments to purchase goods or services; and contingent purchase price obligations for previously completed acquisitions, subject to the operating performance of the acquired businesses. Contingent purchase price obligations cannot exceed $195 million and could be paid over the next two years. The maximum amount payable within the next twelve months is $82 million, of which we currently expect to pay $10 million. We also have outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds that total approximately $33 million.

We do not participate in, nor have we created, any off-balance sheet special purpose entities or other off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases.

We expect that our existing cash resources and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements, debt repayments, contingent acquisition payments, stock repurchases and ordinary capital spending needs for the foreseeable future. We have a $600 million revolving credit facility, of which $460 million is available at June 30, 2004. We believe that we have the capacity to secure additional credit or issue equity to finance additional capital needs.

EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In March 2004, the FASB issued an exposure document entitled “Share-Based Payment - an amendment of Statements No. 123 and 95 (Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards).” The Proposed Statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25 and generally require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. This accounting, if approved, will result in significant non-cash compensation expense. The Proposed Statement, if adopted, would be applied to public entities prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, as if all share-based compensation awards granted, modified, or settled after December 15, 1994, had been accounted for using the fair-value method of accounting. Retrospective application of the Proposed Statement is not permitted.

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:

Certain of the matters we discuss in this Form 10-Q, including our expected margins, revenue and spending and all other statements in this Form 10-Q other than historical facts, 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: general economic and market conditions, including the lingering effects of the economic slowdown on information technology spending levels, trading volumes and services revenue, and including the fact that the economic slowdown has left many companies with excess data center capacity that provides them with the capability for in-house dedicated solutions; the overall condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the regulatory, credit and market risks associated with clearing broker operations; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses including Systems & Computer Technology Corporation, acquired on February 12, 2004, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism or catastrophic events; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; and 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. We may not be able to complete the Brut divestiture due to a number of factors, including the failure to obtain regulatory approvals. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results, as and when applicable, are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, a copy of which may be obtained from us without charge. 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 have rarely used derivative financial instruments to manage risk exposures and have never used derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our available cash is invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, with a substantial portion of such investments having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary, we borrow to fund acquisitions. We do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rates changes. Based on borrowings under our credit facility of $140 million at June 30, 2004, a 1% change in the borrowing rate would increase annual interest expense related to the credit facility by $1.4 million. A downgrade in our credit rating would result in an increase in our interest rate under our credit facility of up to 0.75%, while an upgrade in our credit rating would result in a decrease in our interest rate of 0.25%.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure 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 designed and functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. However, we caution that a system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION:

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: None.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES:

(e) The following table sets forth information regarding purchases made by us of shares of our common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2004:

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs (1)	Maximum Number of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
April 1 - 30, 2004	—		—	—	5,000,000
May 1 - 31, 2004	200,000	$	26.10	200,000	4,800,000
June 1 - 30, 2004	2,300,000	$	26.40	2,300,000	2,500,000
Total	2,500,000	$	26.37	2,500,000

(1) On February 26, 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase five million shares of our common stock (“2004 Repurchase Program”). The terms of the 2004 Repurchase Program provide that we may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market at the discretion of management. Shares purchased under the 2004 Repurchase Program will be used for our employee stock option and purchase plans. As of June 30, 2004, 2.5 million shares have been repurchased under the 2004 Repurchase Program. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the 2004 Repurchase Program will expire on February 24, 2005.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES: None.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS:

(a) The 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the registrant was held on May 14, 2004.

(b) At the 2004 Annual Meeting, the following were elected as directors:

Director	For	Withheld
Gregory S. Bentley (1)	158,361,974	98,148,323
Michael C. Brooks	242,668,407	13,841,890
Cristóbal Conde	249,766,405	6,743,892
Ramon de Oliveira	250,370,486	6,139,811
Henry C. Duques	246,981,860	9,528,437
Albert A. Eisenstat	242,018,203	14,492,094
Bernard Goldstein	246,323,509	10,186,788
Janet Brutschea Haugen	250,492,848	6,017,449
James L. Mann	248,965,990	7,544,307
Malcolm I. Ruddock	246,060,139	10,450,158

(1) We believe that Mr. Bentley received a disproportionate number of withheld votes due to a recommendation by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) to withhold votes for any audit committee member who previously was an officer of the company, no matter how long ago he left the company. Mr. Bentley was an officer of SunGard from 1988 to 1991 and has been an officer of a completely unaffiliated company since 1991. Mr. Bentley is considered “independent” under SEC and NYSE rules, and we believe that Mr. Bentley acts as a fully independent director and audit committee member.

(c) At the 2004 Annual Meeting, the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the corporation’s independent auditors for 2004 was ratified by the following vote:

Votes in favor	243,137,934
Votes against	12,015,064
Votes abstaining	1,357,298
Broker non-votes	0

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION: None.
