|1. | Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements) necessary to present fairly its financial
position as of September 30, 2004 and the results of its
operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003. These statements do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial
statements. The financial statements contained herein should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31,
2003, which were included in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2003 consolidated
balance sheet data were derived from audited financial
statements, but do not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial
statements. The results of operations for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the expected results for the full year.

|4. | Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to the Companys common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
equivalent shares consist of stock options using the treasury
stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the
computation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of
including such common equivalent shares is antidilutive because
their exercise prices exceed the fair value of common stock.
Options to purchase 189,000 and 91,500 shares were
outstanding at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively,
but were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the effect of

|9. | Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is subject to
legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of
its business. In the opinion of management, the Company is not a
party to any litigation that it believes could have a material
effect on the Company or its business.

In 2001, the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) notified the Company of purported federal
income tax deficiencies for the years 1996 through 1999,
relating to the Companys research and experimentation
credits. In 2003, the Company reached a tentative settlement
with the IRS that allowed 50% of the research and
experimentation credits associated with the years 1996 through
1999, or $351,000. The settlement still requires final approval
by the IRS, although in the opinion of management, the final
settlement will not be materially different from the amounts
recorded. This amount has been included in the Companys
tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2003.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis
    of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies require the
application of significant judgment by our management, and such
judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our
consolidated financial statements. In applying these policies,
our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate
assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those
estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of
existing contracts, managements observation of trends in
the industry, information provided by our clients and
information available from other outside sources, as
appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the
estimates contained in the our consolidated financial
statements. There have been no material changes to our critical
accounting estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting
the application of those estimates and assumptions since the
filing of Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on
Form 10K/A. Our critical accounting policies are described
in our annual filing on Form 10-K/A and include:

| | Revenues

We derive our revenues from software licenses,
related maintenance and professional services and outsourcing
services. Revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2004 were $25.2 million, increasing 57% from
$16.0 million in the same period in 2003. Revenue growth
for the three months ended September 30, 2004, was
primarily a result of our acquisitions of the fund services
business, IAN, NeoVision and OMR, which added an aggregate of
$7.3 million in revenue. Revenues for businesses owned at
least for 12 months (organic revenues) grew
$1.9 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2003. Organic growth came from increased
demand for SS&C Direct outsourcing services, Total Return
product and services, Debt & Derivatives product and
services, CAMRA product and Lightning product and services for a
total of $2.3 million. This was offset by a decrease of
$0.4 million from sales of other products.

Revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 were $68.8 million, increasing 44%
from $47.7 million in the same period in 2003. Revenue
growth was primarily the result of acquisitions, which accounted
for $15.0 million of the increase. Organic revenue grew
$6.2 million, or 13%, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. Organic revenue growth came from
increased demand for CAMRA product and services, SS&C Direct
outsourcing services, Total Return product, Lightning product
and services and Debt & Derivatives product and
services for a total of $8.0 million. This was offset
primarily by a decrease in revenue from the LMS product and
services and Mabel product and services.

Software Licenses.Software license revenues were $4.1 million and
$3.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase of $1.1 million
was mainly due to an increase of $0.9 million in sales for
CAMRA, a $0.4 million increase in sales of our Derivatives
products and an increase of $0.3 million in sales of Total
Return, offset by decreases in sales of our AdvisorWare, PTS and
Municipal Finance products totaling $0.5 million. Software
license revenues were $12.4 million and $10.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase of $2.3 million was mainly due
to an increase of $2.5 million in sales of CAMRA, increases
of $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million in
sales of Total Return, Derivatives and Lightning products,
respectively, offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in sales
of our LMS product, a decrease of $0.6 million in sales of
AdvisorWare and decreases in sales of PTS and Skyline products
totaling $0.4 million. The increased license revenues were
mainly due to two large sales of CAMRA product licenses in the
period, and an increase in the number of license sales for Total
Return, Derivatives and Lightning products compared to the prior
year. Software license revenues will vary depending on the
timing, size and nature of our license transactions. For
example, the average size of our software license transactions
and the number of large transactions may fluctuate on a
period-to-period basis. Additionally, software license revenues
will vary among the various products that we offer, due to
differences such as the timing of new releases and variances in
economic conditions affecting opportunities in the vertical
markets served by such products.

Maintenance.Maintenance revenues were $9.5 million and
$8.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Maintenance revenues were
$26.7 million and $23.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Maintenance revenue growth was mainly due to the acquisition of
OMR in April 2004, which contributed $1.4 million and
$2.7 million of maintenance revenues for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and
increases in CAMRA maintenance of $0.1 million and
$0.4 million for those periods, respectively. The increase
in CAMRA revenues was mainly due to favorable client maintenance
renewals and annual maintenance fee increases. We typically
provide maintenance services under one-year renewable contracts
that provide for an annual increase in fees, generally tied to
the percentage change in the consumer price index. Future
maintenance revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain
existing clients, add new license clients, and increase average
maintenance fees.

Professional
Services.Professional services
revenues were $3.0 million and $1.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase in professional services revenues was
primarily due to our acquisitions of OMR and IAN, which
contributed $1.8 million of the increase.

##### Table of Contents



Organic revenues decreased by $0.5 million,
mainly due to lower revenue for CAMRA product services, which
was due to several large professional services contracts in
2003, which did not repeat in 2004. Professional service
revenues were $7.6 million and $4.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase in professional services revenues was
mainly due to our acquisitions of OMR and IAN, which accounted
for $3.3 million of the increase. Organic professional
services revenues decreased by $0.3 million. Increases of
$0.4 million for CAMRA and $0.3 million for Lightning
services were offset by reductions of $0.8 million for LMS
and reductions of $0.2 million each for AdvisorWare and
Antares product services. The increase in CAMRA services was the
result of a large CAMRA project that was completed in the first
quarter of 2004. We had a large LMS implementation project in
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, for which there
was no comparable project in 2004. Our overall software license
revenue levels and market demand for professional services will
continue to have an effect on our professional services revenues.


Outsourcing.Outsourcing revenues were $8.6 million and
$3.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Increased demand and the addition
of new clients for our SS&C Direct outsourcing services
contributed $1.2 million of the increase and
$4.0 million of the increase came from our recent
acquisitions of the fund services business, IAN and OMR.
Outsourcing revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $22.1 million and
$9.6 million, respectively. Increased demand and the
addition of new clients for our SS&C Direct outsourcing
services contributed $3.5 million of the increase and
$8.9 million of the increase came from our recent
acquisitions of the fund services business, IAN and OMR. Future
outsourcing revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain
existing clients, add new clients and increase average
outsourcing fees.

| | Cost of Revenues

The total cost of revenues was $9.2 million
and $4.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The total cost
of revenues increase was mainly due to the increase of
$4.0 million in costs associated with the recent
acquisitions and increased personnel costs of $0.3 million
to support increased organic revenues. The total cost of
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003 was $24.3 million and $15.1 million,
respectively. The gross margin decreased to 65% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 from 68% for the comparable
period in 2003. The total cost of revenues increase was mainly
due to the increase of $8.3 million in costs associated
with the recent acquisitions and increased personnel and
expenses of $0.9 million to support the increased organic
revenues. The decrease in gross margins was primarily
attributable to the recent acquisition of OMR, which had been
operating at gross margins lower than our historical gross
margins.

Cost of Software
Licenses.Cost of software license
revenues consists primarily of amortization expense of completed
technology, royalties, third-party software, and the costs of
product media, packaging and documentation. The cost of software
license revenues was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The cost of software license revenues for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was
$1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The
increase in costs was due to amortization of completed
technology associated with the acquisition of OMR. Cost of
software license revenues as a percentage of such revenues
decreased to 13% for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 from 14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Cost of Maintenance.Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of technical
client support and costs associated with the distribution of
products and regulatory updates. The cost of maintenance
revenues was $2.2 million and $1.5 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase in cost of maintenance revenues was
primarily due the recent acquisitions, which added
$0.7 million in costs. The cost of maintenance revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was
$6.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The
increase in cost of maintenance revenues was due to
$1.4 million in additional costs associated with
acquisitions, increased personnel costs of $0.2 million and
increased costs of $0.1 million related to the engagement
of a third party with actuarial expertise to assist with the
management of our PTS business. The cost of maintenance revenues
as a percentage of these revenues increased to 23% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 from 19%

for the nine months ended September 30,
2003. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to
the recent acquisition of OMR, which had had been operating at
gross margins lower than our historical gross margins.


Cost of Professional
Services.Cost of professional
services revenues consists primarily of the cost related to
personnel utilized to provide implementation, conversion and
training services to our software licensees, as well as system
integration, custom programming and actuarial consulting
services. The cost of professional services revenues was
$1.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The cost
of professional services revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 was $4.8 million and
$3.3 million, respectively. The increase in cost of
professional services revenues for each of these periods was
primarily attributable to recent acquisitions, which added
$0.7 million and $1.6 million in costs during the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
respectively. The cost of professional services revenues as a
percentage of such revenues decreased to 64% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 from 71% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003. This improvement in gross margins was
primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions, which are
generating higher gross margins than our historical gross
margins.

Cost of Outsourcing.Cost of outsourcing revenues consists primarily of the cost
related to personnel utilized in servicing our outsourcing
clients. The cost of outsourcing revenues was $4.6 million
and $1.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in
cost of outsourcing revenues was due to $2.4 million of
additional costs attributable to recent acquisitions, and
increased personnel costs of $0.2 million to support the
growth in organic revenue. The cost of outsourcing revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was
$11.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The
increase in cost of outsourcing revenues was due to
$5.0 million of additional costs attributable to recent
acquisitions, and increased personnel costs of $0.7 million
to support the growth in organic revenues. The cost of
outsourcing revenues as a percentage of such revenues decreased
to 53% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from
62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. We have
improved margins in outsourcing revenues by managing costs and
improving efficiencies through the automation of processes that
were previously done manually.

| | Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $8.5 million
and $6.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in
operating expenses was due to recent acquisitions, which added
$1.5 million in costs and additional personnel costs of
$0.6 million, offset by a reduction of $0.2 million in
bad debt expense. Total operating expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $23.8 million
and $20.2 million, respectively, representing 35% and 42%
of total revenues in those respective periods. The increase in
operating costs was due to the recent acquisitions, which added
$3.5 million in costs and additional personnel costs of
$0.8 million, offset by a reduction of $0.8 million in
bad debt expense, which was due to the collection of a
significant, aged receivable that had been fully reserved.

Selling and
Marketing.Selling and marketing
expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs associated
with the selling and marketing of our products, including
salaries, commissions and travel and entertainment. Such
expenses also include the cost of branch sales offices, trade
shows and marketing and promotional materials. Selling and
marketing expenses were $2.8 million and $2.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were $7.8 million
and $6.3 million, respectively, representing 11% and 13%,
respectively, of total revenues in those periods. The increase
in selling and marketing expenses for each of these periods is
primarily attributable to our recent acquisitions, which added
$0.4 million and $1.2 million in costs for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2004,
respectively, and additional personnel costs of
$0.2 million in each of those periods.

Research and
Development.Research and development
expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to
the development of new software products and the enhancement of
existing products.

Research and development expenses were
$3.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
increase in research and development expenses was mainly
attributable to recent acquisitions, which added
$0.9 million in costs and additional personnel costs of
$0.2 million. Research and development expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were
$10.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively,
representing 15% and 18% of total revenues in those periods,
respectively. The increase in research and development expenses
was attributable to recent acquisitions, which added
$1.9 million in costs, and additional personnel costs of
$0.2 million, offset by reduced facilities costs of
$0.2 million and reduced amortization expense of
$0.2 million.


General and
Administrative.General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs
related to management, accounting and finance, information
management, human resources and administration and associated
overhead costs, as well as fees for professional services.
General and administrative expenses were $1.9 million and
$1.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was due to recent acquisitions, which
added $0.2 million in costs, and additional personnel costs
of $0.2 million, offset by a decrease in bad debt expense
of $0.2 million. General and administrative expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were
$5.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively,
representing 8% and 11% of total revenues in those periods,
respectively. The increase in general and administrative
expenses was mainly due to recent acquisitions, which added
$0.5 million in costs, increased personnel costs of
$0.4 million and additional costs of $0.2 million
related to the engagement of external consultants to assist in
compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, offset by a
decrease of $0.8 million in bad debt expense.

Interest and Other Income,
Net.Interest and other income, net
consists primarily of interest income and other non-operational
income and expenses. Interest income, net was $472,000 and
$223,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a higher
average cash and investments balance, which more than doubled
over the prior year due to the public stock offering completed
in June 2004. Interest income, net for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003 was $837,000 and $707,000,
respectively, reflecting higher average cash balances, offset by
lower market interest rates. Other income, net decreased to a
net expenditure of $21,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 from a net income of $231,000 for the
nine months ended September 2003. Included in other income, net
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was a
non-operational gain of $259,000 resulting from the sale of
marketable securities.

Provision for Income
Taxes.We had an effective tax rate of
39% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and
2003. In future years, we expect to have sufficient levels of
profitability to realize the deferred tax assets at
September 30, 2004.

| | Liquidity and Capital
    Resources

Our liquidity needs have historically been to
finance the costs of operations pending the billing and
collection of client receivables, to acquire complementary
businesses or assets, to invest in research and development and
to repurchase shares of our common stock. We have historically
relied on cash flow from operations for liquidity. We expect
that our future liquidity needs will consist of financing the
costs of operations pending the billing and collection of client
receivables, strategic acquisitions that allow us to expand our
product offerings and client base, investments in research and
development, repurchase of our Common Stock and payment of
dividends, if any, to our stockholders. Our operating cash flow
is primarily affected by the overall profitability of the sales
of our products and services, our ability to invoice and collect
from clients in a timely manner, our ability to efficiently
implement our acquisition strategy and our ability to manage
costs.

| | Cash Flow

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities at September 30, 2004 were $121.3 million,
which is an increase of $68.9 million from
$52.4 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was
primarily

due to our public stock offering in June 2004, as
well as net income for the period, offset by cash paid for
acquisitions.


Net cash provided by operating activities was
$19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to
earnings of $13.0 million adjusted for non-cash items of
$6.6 million, including a $2.4 million tax benefit
related to stock option exercises, an increase of
$0.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a
decrease of $0.5 million in accounts receivable. These
items were partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million
in deferred revenue. Our accounts receivable days sales
outstanding at September 30, 2004 was 52 days,
compared to 61 days as of June 30, 2004, 43 days
as of December 31, 2003 and 49 days as of
September 30, 2003. The increase from December 31,
2003 was primarily due to the transition of receivables related
to our acquisition of OMR.

Investing activities used net cash of
$86.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004. Cash used by investing activities was primarily due to the
$62.2 million net purchases of marketable securities and
the $23.5 million net cash paid for the acquisitions of
IAN, NeoVision and OMR.

Financing activities provided net cash of
$73.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2004. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to
the $74.4 million in proceeds from our public stock
offering. The exercise of stock options provided cash of
$1.9 million, offset by $2.9 million for the payment
of our semi-annual cash dividends.

As of September 30, 2004, we had
$21.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and
$99.3 million in marketable securities. We believe that our
current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
balances and anticipated cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure
requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The timing, size and nature of individual license
and outsourcing transactions are important factors in our
quarterly operating results. Many of the products we provide
through licensing transactions are relatively complex, and
licensing transactions involve a significant commitment of
capital, with attendant delays frequently associated with large
capital expenditures and implementation procedures within an
organization. Moreover, licensing arrangements may require
coordination within an organizations various divisions and
operations. For these and other reasons, the sales cycles for
these transactions are often lengthy and unpredictable. Our
inability to close license transactions on a timely basis or at
all could adversely affect our quarterly revenues and operating
results.

| | General economic and market conditions and
    a weakening of the financial services industry may cause clients
    and potential clients to reduce expenditures on our products and
    services, which would result in lost revenues and reduced
    income

Our clients include a range of organizations in
the financial services industry. The success of these clients is
intrinsically linked to the health of the financial markets. In
addition, we believe that fluctuations, disruptions, instability
or downturns in the financial markets, which may cause clients
and potential clients to exit the industry or delay, cancel or
reduce any planned expenditures for investment management
systems and software products, could disproportionately affect
demand for our products and services. In addition, if financial
services firms continue to consolidate, as they have over the
past decade, there could be a material adverse effect on our
business and financial results. For example, if a client merges
with a firm using its own solution or another vendors
solution, it could decide to consolidate its processing on a
non-SS&C system, which could have an adverse effect on our
financial results. Any resulting decline in demand for our
products and services could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to keep existing clients
satisfied, sell additional products and services to existing

acquisition could harm our business, results of operations and
cash flows. Acquisitions could subject us to contingent or
unknown liabilities, and we may have to incur debt or severance
liabilities, write-off investments, infrastructure costs,
impaired goodwill or other assets, or issue equity securities to
pay for any future acquisitions. The issuance of equity
securities could dilute our existing stockholders
ownership.


Our success is also dependent on our ability to
complete the integration of the operations of recently acquired
businesses, including Amicorp Groups fund services
business, Investment Advisory Network, NeoVision Hypersystems
and OMR Systems, and any businesses we acquire in the future in
an efficient and effective manner. Successful integration in the
rapidly changing financial services industry may be more
difficult to accomplish than in other industries. We may not

as lower costs or increased revenues. We may also realize such
benefits more slowly than anticipated, due to our inability to:

Integration may not be smooth or successful. The
inability of management to successfully integrate the operations
of acquired companies could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations. The
acquisitions may also place a significant strain on our
management, administrative, operational and other resources. To
manage growth effectively, we must continue to improve our
management and operational controls, enhance our reporting
systems and procedures, integrate new personnel and manage
expanded operations. If we are unable to manage our growth and
the related expansion in our operations from recent and future
acquisitions, our business may be harmed through a decreased
ability to monitor and control effectively our operations, and a
decrease in the quality of work and innovation of our employees.

| | If we are unable to protect our proprietary
    technology, our success and our ability to compete will be
    subject to various risks, such as third-party infringement
    claims, unauthorized use of our technology, disclosure of our
    proprietary information or inability to license technology from
    third parties

Our success and ability to compete depends in
part upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We
rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright and trademark
law, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to protect
our proprietary technology. We have registered trademarks for
many of our products and will continue to evaluate the
registration of additional trademarks as appropriate. We
generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees and clients. We seek to protect our software,
documentation and other written materials under trade secret and
copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. These
efforts may be insufficient to prevent third parties from
asserting intellectual property rights in our technology.
Furthermore, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties
to copy portions of our products or to reverse engineer or
otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information, and third
parties may assert ownership rights in our proprietary
technology.

The laws governing our intellectual property
afford only limited protection. Others may develop substantially
equivalent or superseding proprietary technology, or competitors
may offer equivalent products in competition with our products,
thereby substantially reducing the value of our proprietary
rights. We cannot be sure that our proprietary technology does
not include open-source software, free-ware, share-ware or other
publicly available technology. There are many patents in the
investment management field. As a result, we are subject to the
risk that others will claim that the important technology we
have developed, acquired or incorporated into our products will
infringe the rights, including the patent rights, such persons
may hold. Third parties also could claim that our software
incorporates publicly available software and that, as a result,
we must publicly disclose our source code. Because we rely on
confidentiality for protection, such an event could result in a
material loss of intellectual property rights. We cannot be sure
that we will develop proprietary products or technologies that
are patentable, that any patent, if issued, would provide us
with any competitive advantages or would not be challenged by
third parties, or that the patents of others will not adversely
affect our ability to do business. Expensive and time-consuming
litigation may be necessary to protect our proprietary rights.

We have acquired and may acquire important
technology rights through our acquisitions and have often
incorporated and may incorporate features of this technology
across many products and services. As a result, we are subject
to the above risks and the additional risk that the seller of
the technology rights may not have appropriately protected the
intellectual property rights we acquired. Indemnification and
other rights under applicable acquisition documents are limited
in term and scope and therefore provide us with only limited
protection.

In addition, we currently rely on third-party
licenses in providing our products and services. If we lost such
licenses or such licenses were found to infringe upon the rights
of others, we would need to seek alternative means of obtaining
the licensed technology to continue to provide our products or
services. Our inability to replace such technology, or to
replace such technology in a timely manner, could have a
negative impact on our operations and financial results.

| | We could become subject to litigation
    regarding intellectual property rights, which could seriously
    harm our business and require us to incur significant costs,
    which, in turn, could reduce or eliminate profits

In recent years, there has been significant
litigation in the United States involving patents and other
intellectual property rights. While we are not currently a party
to any litigation asserting that we have violated third-party
intellectual property rights, we may be a party to litigation in
the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or as a
result of an allegation that we infringe others
intellectual property, including patents, trademarks and
copyrights. Any parties asserting that our products or services
infringe upon their proprietary rights would force us to defend
ourselves and possibly our clients against the alleged
infringement. Third parties could claim that our software
incorporates publicly available software and that, as a result,
we must publicly disclose our source code. These claims and any
resulting lawsuit, if successful, could subject us to
significant liability for damages and invalidation of our
proprietary rights.

These lawsuits, regardless of their success,
could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, adversely
affect our sales, profitability and prospects and divert
management time and attention away from our operations. We may
be required to re-engineer our products or services or obtain a
license of third-party technologies on unfavorable terms.

| | We expect our gross and operating margins
    may fluctuate over time, which could cause our financial results
    to differ from investor expectations or negatively affect our
    profitability

We expect that our gross and operating margins
may fluctuate from period to period as we continue to introduce
new products, experience fluctuations in the relative
proportions of revenues derived from our products and services,
continue to hire and acquire additional personnel and increase
other expenses to support our business. Historically, we derived
our revenues principally from the licensing of our products.
However, we are increasingly deriving our revenues from
outsourcing and related services, which have lower profit
margins. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and
2003, our outsourcing revenues represented 11%, 20% and 20%,
respectively, of our total revenues. The gross margins for
outsourcing services were 7%, 32% and 39% in 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively. We expect that the portion of our revenues
derived from outsourcing and related services will continue to
increase, which, because of the lower margins associated with
such revenues, could adversely affect our profitability.

| | Our failure to continue to derive
    substantial revenues from CAMRA, TradeThru, AdvisorWare, SKYLINE
    and LMS software, and the provision of maintenance and
    professional services in support of such software, could
    adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
    of operations

To date, substantially all of our revenues have
been attributable to the licensing of, or outsourcing solutions
relating to, our CAMRA, TradeThru, AdvisorWare, SKYLINE and LMS
software and the provision of maintenance and professional
services in support of such licensed software. We expect that
the revenues from these software products and related services
will continue to account for a significant portion of our total
revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, factors
adversely affecting the pricing of or demand for such products
and services, such as competition or technological change, could
have a material adverse effect on our ability to sustain or grow
our revenues and harm our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

| | Recently enacted and proposed regulatory
    changes may cause us to incur increased costs and divert the
    attention of management from operation of our business, and
    failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could
    delay our ability to identify error or fraud and cause loss of
    investor and client confidence and serious harm to our business,
    financial condition, results of operations and cash
    flows

Recently enacted changes in the laws and
regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, could cause us to
incur increased costs as we evaluate the implications of new
rules and respond to new requirements. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act
requires, among other things, that we maintain effective
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control for
financial reporting. We currently do not have an internal audit
group and we will require significant resources and management
oversight to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting. As a result, managements attention
may be diverted from other business concerns, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may need
to hire additional accounting and financial staff with
appropriate public company experience and technical accounting
knowledge, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do
so in a timely fashion.

As we evaluate our internal controls and
procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, we
may determine that significant changes to such controls and
procedures are necessary. In addition, our controls and
procedures may not be able to prevent other than inconsequential
error or fraud in the future. Any system of controls, however
well designed and operated, is based in part on certain
assumptions and can provide only reasonable, and not absolute,
assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Faulty

judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the
failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and
procedures may make it impossible for us to ensure that the
objectives of the control system are met. A failure of our
controls and procedures could delay our ability to identify
error or fraud and cause loss of investor and client confidence
and serious harm to our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.

| | We face significant competition with
    respect to our products and services, which may result in price
    reductions, reduced gross margins or loss of market
    share

The market for financial services software and
services is competitive, rapidly evolving and highly sensitive
to new product and service introductions and marketing efforts
by industry participants. The market is also highly fragmented
and served by numerous firms that target only local markets or
specific client types. We also face competition from information
systems developed and serviced internally by the IT departments
of financial services firms.

Some of our current and potential competitors
have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing
resources, generate higher revenues and have greater name
recognition. Our current or potential competitors may develop
products comparable or superior to those developed by us, or
adapt more quickly than us to new technologies, evolving
industry trends or changing client or regulatory requirements.
It is also possible that alliances among competitors may emerge
and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased
competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross
margins and loss of market share, any of which could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

Rapidly changing technology, evolving industry
standards and new product and service introductions characterize
the market for our products and services. Our future success
will depend in part upon our ability to enhance our existing
products and services and to develop and introduce new products
and services to meet changing client needs and evolving
regulatory requirements. The process of developing software
products such as those offered by us is extremely complex and is
expected to become increasingly complex and expensive in the
future due to the introduction of new platforms and
technologies. Our ability to keep up with technology and
business changes is subject to a number of risks, including:

| | If we cannot attract, train and retain
    qualified managerial, technical and sales personnel, we may not
    be able to provide adequate technical expertise and customer
    service to our clients or maintain focus on our business
    strategy

We believe that our success is due in part to our
experienced management team. We depend in large part upon the
continued contribution of our senior management and, in
particular, William C. Stone, our chief executive officer and
chairman of the board. Losing the services of one or more
members of our senior management could adversely affect our
business and results of operations. Mr. Stone has been
instrumental in developing our business strategy and forging our
business relationships since he founded the company in 1986. We
maintain no key man life insurance policies for Mr. Stone
or any other senior officers or managers.

Our success is also dependent upon our ability to
attract, train and retain highly skilled technical and sales
personnel. Competition for the hiring of such personnel in the
software industry can be intense. Locating candidates with the
appropriate qualifications, particularly in the desired
geographic location and with the necessary subject matter
expertise, is difficult. Our failure to attract and retain a
sufficient number of highly skilled employees could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

| | Challenges in maintaining and expanding our
    international operations can result in increased costs, delayed
    sales efforts and uncertainty with respect to our intellectual
    property rights and results of operations

For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002
and 2003, international revenues accounted for 19%, 16% and 17%,
respectively, of our total revenues. We sell certain of our
products, such as Altair and Mabel, primarily overseas. Our
international business may be subject to a variety of risks,
including:

    higher duty rates, and                                  
|
| |  | difficulties in enforcement of third-party
    contractual obligations and intellectual property rights.

Such factors could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

| | Catastrophic events may disrupt our
    business and hurt our results of operations

A war, terrorist attack, natural disaster or
other catastrophe may adversely affect our business. A
catastrophic event could have a direct negative impact on us or
an indirect impact on us by, for example, affecting our clients,
the financial markets or the overall economy and reducing our
ability to provide, our clients ability to use, and the
demand for, our products and services. The potential for a
direct impact is due primarily to our significant investment in
infrastructure. Although we maintain redundant facilities and
have contingency plans in place to protect against both man-made
and natural threats, it is impossible to fully anticipate and
protect against all potential catastrophes. A computer virus,
security breach, criminal act, military action, power or
communication failure, flood, severe storm or the like could
lead to service interruptions and data losses for clients,
disruptions to our operations, or damage to important
facilities. In addition, such an event may cause clients to
cancel their agreements with us for our products or services.
Any of these could have a material adverse effect on our
business, revenues and financial condition.

| | Provisions of our charter and bylaws may
    delay or prevent transactions that are in your best
    interests

Our charter and bylaws contain provisions,
including a staggered board of directors, that may make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire us, or may discourage
bids to do so. These provisions could limit the price that
investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock
and could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire,
or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of
our outstanding common stock. Our board of directors also has
the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock and to determine the price, rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those
shares without any further vote or action by the stockholders.
The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to,
and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of
any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. The
issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a
third party to acquire, or may discourage a third party from
acquiring, a majority of our outstanding common stock.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
    About Market Risk

We have no derivative financial instruments. We
generally place our marketable security investments in high
credit quality instruments, primarily U.S. Government and
Federal Agency obligations, tax-exempt municipal obligations and
corporate obligations. We do not expect any material loss from
our marketable security investments and therefore believe that
our potential interest rate exposure is not material.

The following table provides information about
our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in
interest rates (dollars in thousands):

We invoice clients primarily in U.S. dollars
and in local currency in those countries in which we have branch
and subsidiary operations. We are exposed to foreign exchange
rate fluctuations from the time clients are invoiced in local
currency until collection occurs. Through September 30,
2004, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material
effect on our financial position or results of operations, and
therefore we believe that our potential foreign currency
exchange rate exposure is not material.

The foregoing risk management discussion and the
effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in
the future may differ materially from these projected results
due to actual developments in global financial markets. The
analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk
discussed above should not be considered projections of future
events or losses.

|Item 4. | 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 of September 30, 2004.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2004,
our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to
ensure that material information relating to us, including our
consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this report
was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

No change in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and
    Use of Proceeds

On October 18, 2004, we announced a stock
repurchase program providing for expenditures of up to
$50 million over the period extending from October 18,
2004 through October 17, 2005. We may purchase our shares
in open market, negotiated and block transactions. During the
three months ended September 30, 2004, we did not have a
stock repurchase program in effect or repurchase any of our
shares.
