REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Reynolds and Reynolds Company
401(k) Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2005 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THE REYNOLDS AND REYNOLDS COMPANY
401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004, AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
	The following description of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
	General—The Plan is a defined contribution savings plan and is subject to provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). All salaried and non-union hourly employees of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (the “Company”) are eligible to participate upon the first day of employment. The Plan is administered by a Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Company.
	Contributions—Eligible employees may elect to become participants by contributing from 1% to 50% of their earnings through tax-deferred payroll deductions. Effective as of October 1, 2005, if a participant who is hired on or after October 1, 2005 fails to file an initial Income Deferral Election, 3% of the participant’s compensation shall automatically be deferred, which amount shall be deemed to be the participant’s Income Deferral Election. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s contribution to the Plan. In prior years, the Company also made an additional employer discretionary contribution (“ERD”) to eligible employees, which was a flat dollar amount that was the same for each participant. These contributions were made at the Company’s discretion and were based on the Company’s return on equity. The Company discontinued providing the ERD in 2003.
	Participant Accounts—Participants may invest their account balances in any of the ten mutual funds, common collective trusts, investment contract portfolio, or the participant directed brokerage account offered by the Plan. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and their proportionate share of the Company’s contributions and the Plan’s earnings. Allocations are based on daily valuation accounting, as provided in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
	Vesting and Distributions—Participants’ accounts, except for balances related to ERD, are fully vested at all times. Vesting in the ERD amounts is 0% until three years from the participant’s hire date, at which time they become 100% vested. A participant who has reached the age of 59-1/2 may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their account.
	Participants may also apply for hardship withdrawals from their vested tax-deferred contribution accounts, subject to approval by the Plan’s Committee.
	Distributions and withdrawals under this Plan are subject to federal income tax withholding as prescribed by Section 3405 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulation thereunder or any other withholding required by law.

-4-

	Participant Loans—Participants may borrow from their account on the terms specified by the Committee. The maximum loan amount is defined in the Plan document and, in any case, cannot exceed the amount credited to the participant’s account. A loan to a participant is funded by a reduction of the participant’s 401(k) account prorated based on the current balance of each respective fund.
	The interest rate on loans is determined at origination using the prime rate of interest plus 1%. Interest on the loan is paid back directly into the participant’s account. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions but can be repaid in full at any time.
	Forfeiture Account—Funds that are forfeited by participants are transferred to a forfeiture holding account and invested in the JP Morgan Stable Value Fund. The forfeiture holding account is used to offset employer contributions or Plan expenses. The account is also used to rebuild a rehired participant’s account if the ERISA break-in-service rules determine the participant is entitled to any previously forfeited funds.
2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Accounting—The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Investment Valuation and Income Recognition—The investment contracts are carried at contract value (See Note 3).
	The remainder of the Plan’s investments consist of mutual fund shares, a common collective trust, a participant directed brokerage account, and loans to participants. These investments (excluding loans to participants) are stated at fair value, determined by quoted prices in an active market, of the underlying assets of the funds. Loans to participants are recorded at the outstanding principal balance of the loans. Security transactions are recorded on trade dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains and losses are computed using the specific-identification method.
	The Plan utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
	Payment of Benefits—Benefits are recorded when paid.
	Administrative Expenses—All administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, in accordance with DOL guidelines.

INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

JP Morgan Stable Value Fund—The Plan has entered into various contracts issued by a variety of insurance companies and financial institutions. JP Morgan was the investment manager for the JP Morgan Stable Value Fund as of December 31, 2005. Such investment contracts are fully benefit responsive and are carried at contract value, which approximates fair value. Contract value represents contributions made by participants and the Company, plus interest at the contract rate, less withdrawals or transfers by participants. The investment contracts are classified as either guaranteed investment contracts (“GIC”) or synthetic investment contracts (“SIC”). A SIC differs from a GIC in that the Plan owns the assets underlying the investments of a SIC. The bank or insurance company issues a contract, referred to as a “wrapper”, that guarantees the value of the underlying investment for the duration of the SIC. The wrapper contracts are valued as the difference between the contract value of the SIC and the fair value of the underlying asset. The JP Morgan Stable Value Fund is valued based on the contract value of the contracts held in aggregate by the fund as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, which is as follows:

	2005			2004
Contract value of assets	$	90,669,018		$	85,734,901
Fair value of assets	$	90,104,029		$	87,109,891
Average interest yield		5.33	%		5.14	%

4.	INCOME TAX STATUS
	The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated July 14, 2003, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s legal counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
5.	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
	Certain plan investments are shares of common stock of The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, the Plan sponsor, and shares of mutual funds managed by American Century (who is partially owned by JP Morgan, the recordkeeper of the Plan). These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

6.	INVESTMENTS

Those investments marked with an asterisk (*) represent permitted party-in-interest accounts.

During 2005, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value by $26,608,058 as follows:

Mutual Funds	$	18,391,610
Participant Directed Brokerage Accounts		2,694,214
JP Morgan Stable Value Fund		3,360
Common Collective Trusts		5,518,874
	$	26,608,058

7.	PLAN TERMINATION
	Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, all benefits will be distributed to participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.
