Our clients include some of the largest and most
well recognized entities in the financial services industry, who
manage in the aggregate over $4 trillion in assets.

For financial information relating to our
business, including geographic information, please see our
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

Industry Background

The financial services industry is a large market
that is expected to grow significantly over the next several
years. According to Empirical Research Partners, the total
financial assets under management in the U.S. were
$18 trillion in 2002, and are expected to grow to
$26 trillion in 2007, a compound annual growth rate of 8%.

The financial services industry traditionally
invests more heavily in information technology, or IT, than
other industries, and as the financial services market grows,
IT budgets are expected to increase. According to a January
2004 IDC report, the banking, insurance and financial services
markets are expected to spend $83 billion on IT in 2004. Of
the $83 billion, $62 billion is expected to be spent
on software and services in 2004, which is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate of over 6% to $75 billion in
2007.

Todays participants in the financial
services industry face a number of challenges, including:



| |   |                                                                                            
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | rapidly changing market conditions,                                                        
|
| |  | increasing transaction volumes with shorter
    settlement cycles,                         
|
| |  | fierce competition,                                                                        
|
| |  | constantly evolving regulatory requirements with
    increasing regulatory oversight, and  
|
| |  | an increasing number, and greater complexity, of
    asset classes and securities products.

Many financial services organizations face an
increasing gap between the amount and complexity of data that
they must analyze and control and their finite IT resources.
Financial services organizations rely in large part on internal
IT departments to supply the systems required to meet their
information analysis requirements. Typically, the systems used
are a mix of internally developed programs implemented on
expensive mainframes and externally developed software
applications deployed in a distributed computing environment.
These systems require large IT departments, are expensive to
implement, support and modify, have limited interoperability and
often cannot fully support specialized asset classes or

compliance and reporting. To meet their
requirements, financial services organizations require flexible,

compliance.

    solutions enable straight-through processing, which provides
    integration of front-end trading and modeling 
    straight through to portfolio management, compliance and
    reporting  to back-office processing, clearing and

Our products help enable users to efficiently and
rapidly analyze and manage information, increase productivity,
reduce costs and devote more time to critical business decisions
rather than administrative, reporting and compliance matters.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to be the leading provider of
superior technology solutions to the financial services
industry. To achieve our goal, we intend to:

Maintain Our Commitment to the Highest
Level of Client Service.We
believe that one of the factors that distinguishes us from our
competition is our commitment to the highest level of client
service. Our clients include large, sophisticated institutions
with complex systems and requirements, and we understand the
importance of providing them with both the experience of our
senior management and the subject matter expertise of our sales,
professional services and support staffs. Our commitment begins
with our senior management team. Our top three executives have
in the aggregate over 50 years of experience in the
software and financial services industries and actively
participate in creating and building client relationships. For
each solution deployment, we analyze our clients needs and
assemble a team of

appropriate industry vertical and technical
experts who can quickly and efficiently deliver tailored
solutions to the client. We provide our larger clients with a
dedicated client support team whose primary responsibility is to
resolve questions and provide solutions to address ongoing
needs. We believe that the individual attention and industry
expertise provided by our senior management and staff help
solidify strong relationships with our clients. Our strong
client relationships in turn build client loyalty, including a
base of clients who are more likely to buy our other products
and services and serve as references for future clients.


Leverage Our Existing Client Relationships.We intend to continue to expand
the scope of existing client relationships by marketing and
delivering the full range of our capabilities to our clients.
Our clients include many large and sophisticated organizations
in the financial services industry with extensive, highly
specialized software and service needs across the multiple
vertical markets we serve. Our business with existing clients
generally increases along with the volume of assets that they
manage. We can also provide additional modules or features to
the products and services currently used by our clients as well
as cross sell products and services that may address
our clients other information management, analysis,
trading, accounting, reporting or compliance needs. For
instance, users of our CAMRA asset management product may also
have a need for our Antares trading product or our
AnalyticsExpress financial modeling product. Our critical
understanding of our clients businesses is a competitive
advantage in capturing additional sales opportunities in our
referenceable client base.

Grow Our Outsourcing Business and Increase
Our Recurring Revenues.We plan to
further increase our recurring revenue streams from our
outsourcing solutions and maintenance services, because they
provide us with greater predictability in the operation of our
business and enable us to build valued relationships with our
clients. We believe that our outsourcing services provide an
attractive alternative to clients that do not wish to install,
run and maintain complicated financial software. We generally
provide our outsourcing services under three- to five-year
contracts with minimum fee commitments that are often renewed at
the expiration of their terms. Our outsourcing revenues under
these contracts are predictable and recurring. Our outsourcing
revenues increased from $6.3 million, or 11.2% of total
revenues, in 2001 to $13.2 million, or 20.2% of total
revenues, in 2003. Maintenance revenues also provide another
source of recurring revenues and represented 47.8% of total
revenues in 2003.

Continue to Address the Specialized Needs
of the Financial Services
Industry.We have accumulated
substantial financial expertise since our founding in 1986
through close working relationships with our clients, resulting
in a deep knowledge base that enables us to respond to their
most complex financial, accounting, actuarial, tax and
regulatory needs. We intend to build on this expertise by
continuing to offer products and services that address the
highly specialized needs of the financial services industry. We
believe that we enjoy a competitive advantage because we can
address the investment and financial management needs of
high-end clients by providing industry-tested products and
services that meet global market demands while also providing
integrated, straight thru processing for improved
productivity, reduced manual intervention and bottom-line
savings.

Capitalize on Acquisition Opportunities.We employ a disciplined and highly
focused acquisition strategy in which we seek to acquire
businesses, products and technologies in our existing or
complementary vertical markets. We believe that the market for
financial services software and services is highly fragmented
and rapidly evolving, with many new product introductions and
industry participants. These factors create both the need and
the opportunity to effect strategic transactions to increase the
breadth and depth of our product and service offerings and
capitalize on evolving market opportunities. Our experienced
senior management team leads a rigorous evaluation of our
acquisition candidates to ensure that they satisfy our product
or service needs and can be integrated with our business while
meeting our financial metrics, including expected return on
investment.

Our Acquisitions

Since 1995, we have acquired more than a dozen

Our senior management receives numerous
acquisition proposals and chooses to evaluate several proposals
each quarter. We receive referrals from several sources,
including clients, investment banks and industry contacts. We
believe based on our experience that there are numerous solution
providers addressing highly particularized financial services
needs or providing specialized services that would meet our
acquisition criteria.

expand our product and services offerings into new markets or
client bases. For example, with our acquisitions of Shepro Braun
Systems and HedgeWare we began providing portfolio management
and accounting software to the hedge funds and family offices
market. We began offering property management products to the
real estate property management industry after we

Product Development and Engineering

We believe we must introduce new products and
offer product innovation on a regular basis to maintain our
competitive advantage. To meet these goals, we use
multidisciplinary teams of highly trained

personnel and leverage this expertise across all
product lines. We have invested heavily in developing a
comprehensive product analysis process to insure a high degree
of product functionality and quality. Maintaining and improving
the integrity and quality of existing products is the
responsibility of individual product managers. Product
engineering management efforts focus on enterprise-wide
strategies, implementing best-practice technology regimens,
maximizing resources, and mapping out an integration plan for
our entire umbrella of products as well as third-party products.
Our research and development expenses for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 were $11.3 million,
$11.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively.


Our research and development engineers work
closely with our marketing and support personnel to ensure that
product evolution reflects developments in the marketplace and
trends in client requirements. We have generally issued a major
functional release of our core products during the second or
third quarter of each fiscal year, including functional
enhancements, as well as an annual fourth quarter release to
reflect evolving regulatory changes in time to meet
clients year-end reporting requirements.

Competition

The market for institutional and financial
management software and services is competitive, rapidly
evolving and highly sensitive to new product 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. The major
competitors in our primary markets include:

Proprietary Rights

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 and/or
license agreements with our employees, distributors, clients and
potential clients. We seek to protect our software,
documentation and other written materials under trade secret and
copyright laws, which afford 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 proprietary information, and third parties may assert
ownership rights in our proprietary technology. For additional
risks relating to our proprietary technology, please see
If we are unable to protect our proprietary technology,
our success and our ability to compete will be subject to
various risks in Certain Factors That May Affect
Future Operating Results.

Rapid technological change characterizes the
software development industry. We believe factors such as the
technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product
developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition,
and reliable service and support are more important to
establishing and maintaining a leadership position than legal
protections of our technology.

Employees

As of December 31, 2003, we had
318 full-time employees, consisting of:

|(1) | Amounts have been restated to reflect our
    three-for-two common stock split in the form of a common stock
    dividend, effective on March 5, 2004.

There were 49 stockholders of record of our
common stock as of March 8, 2004. The number of
stockholders of record may not be representative of the number
of beneficial owners because many shares are held by
depositories, brokers or other nominees.

In July 2003, our board of directors declared its
first semi-annual cash dividend of $0.067 per share of
common stock, which was paid in September 2003. On
February 5, 2004, our board of directors declared a $0.07
cash dividend per share of common stock, payable on or about
March 24, 2004 to stockholders of record as of
March 10, 2004. Although we expect to declare cash
dividends in the future, various factors, including our
financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated
cash needs and plans for expansion, will affect our
decision-making process.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis
    of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are a leading provider of software, BPO
services and ASP solutions to the financial services industry.
We deliver a broad range of highly specialized software products
and services that provide mission-critical processing for
information management, analysis, trading, accounting, reporting
and compliance. We provide our products and related services in
seven vertical markets in the financial services industry:



| |   |                                                                    
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | insurance entities and pension funds,                              
|
| |  | institutional asset management,                                    
|
| |  | hedge fund and family offices,                                     
|
| |  | financial institutions, such as retail banks and
    credit unions,
|
| |  | commercial lending,                                                
|
| |  | real estate property management, and                               
|
| |  | municipal finance.                                                 

In 2003, we continued our focus on three primary
objectives:



| |   |                                                                                             
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | increasing recurring revenues as a percentage of
    total revenues,                        
|
| |  | enhancing our profitability, and                                                            
|
| |  | entering new markets through acquisitions and
    expanding our presence in current markets.

Our revenues increased from $62.4 million in
2002 to $65.5 million in 2003. We continue to focus on
increasing the portion of our revenues derived from our
outsourcing solutions and maintenance services because these
provide us with recurring revenue streams. Our outsourcing
revenues increased from

##### Table of Contents



$12.6 million in 2002 to $13.2 million
in 2003, a 4.7% increase. Our maintenance revenues increased
from $27.9 million in 2002 to $31.3 million in 2003, a
12.5% increase.


While increasing our revenues, we maintained our
focus on profitability in 2003. We decreased our operating
expenses from $30.3 million in 2002 to $26.7 million
in 2003, while also lowering our cost of revenues from
$21.0 million to $20.4 million over the same period.
These efforts contributed to a 65% increase in our operating
income from 2002 to 2003. We believe that our success in
lowering operating expenses results from a disciplined approach
to cost-cutting, an efficient use of personnel and outside
consultants, and more cost-effective marketing programs.

We continue to increase our market presence
through acquisitions. In January 2002, we acquired Real-Time
USA, Inc., a provider of ASP and license office
applications to commercial banks and broker-dealers, and in
November 2002, we acquired DBC, a leading provider of financial
software for fixed-income analysis in the municipal finance
market. In December 2003, we acquired Amicorp Groups fund
services line of business, which we believe will significantly
expand our capacity in the global hedge fund market. We named
this business SS&C Fund Services and expect it to be an
important element of our strategy to increase our outsourcing
business. To date during 2004, we acquired the businesses of
Investment Advisory Network, which provides web-based wealth
management services to financial institutions and NeoVision
Hypersystems, which provides tactical visual analytic solutions
for the financial services industry.

Net cash provided by operating activities was
$23.7 million in 2003, and we ended the period with
$52.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities and $8.6 million in accounts receivable.

Critical Accounting Estimates and
Assumptions

Our significant accounting policies are
summarized in note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements. A number 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. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and
judgments, including those related to revenue recognition,
doubtful accounts receivable, goodwill and other intangible
assets and other contingent liabilities. Actual results may
differ significantly from the estimates contained in our
consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following
are our critical accounting policies.



| |                    
| | -------------------
| | Revenue Recognition

Our revenues consist primarily of software
license revenues, maintenance revenues, and professional and
outsourcing services revenues.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Position
No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition
(SOP 97-2) to all software transactions. We recognize
revenues from the sale of software licenses when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been
delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of
the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Our products
generally do not require significant modification or
customization of software. Installation of the products is
generally routine and is not essential to the functionality of
the product.

We use a signed license agreement as evidence of
an arrangement for the majority of our transactions. Delivery
occurs when the product is delivered to a common carrier F.O.B.
shipping point. Although our arrangements generally do not have
acceptance provisions, if such provisions are included in the
arrangement, then delivery occurs at acceptance. At the time of
the transaction, we assess whether the fee is fixed and
determinable based on the payment terms. Collection is assessed
based on several factors, including past transaction history
with the client and the creditworthiness of the client. The
arrangements

19

##### Table of Contents



for software licenses are generally sold with
maintenance and professional services. We allocate revenue to
the delivered components, normally the license component, using
the residual value method based on objective evidence of the
fair value of the undelivered elements. The total contract value
is attributed first to the maintenance and support arrangement
based on the fair value, which is derived from renewal rates.
Fair value of the professional services is based upon
stand-alone sales of those services. Professional services are
generally billed at an hourly rate plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Professional services revenues are recognized as the services
are performed. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over
the term of the contract. Outsourcing services revenues, which
are based on a monthly fee or transaction-based, are recognized
as the services are performed.


We occasionally enter into software license
agreements requiring significant customization or fixed-fee
professional service arrangements. We account for these
arrangements in accordance with the percentage-of-completion
method based on the ratio of hours incurred to expected total
hours; accordingly we must estimate the costs to complete the
arrangement utilizing an estimate of man-hours remaining. Due to
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is at least
reasonably possible that completion costs may be revised. Such
revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions
are determined. Due to the complexity of some software license
agreements, we routinely apply judgments to the application of
software recognition accounting principles to specific
agreements and transactions. Different judgments and/or
different contract structures could have led to different
accounting conclusions, which could have a material effect on
our reported quarterly results of operations.



| |                                    
| | -----------------------------------
| | Allowance for Doubtful
    Accounts

The preparation of financial statements requires
our management to make estimates relating to the collectability
of our accounts receivable. Management establishes the allowance
for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt experience.
In addition, management analyzes client accounts, client
concentrations, client creditworthiness, current economic trends
and changes in our clients payment terms when evaluating
the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Such
estimates require significant judgment on the part of our
management. Therefore, changes in the assumptions underlying our
estimates or changes in the financial condition of our clients
could result in a different required allowance, which could have
a material effect on our reported results of operations.



| |                                                      
| | -----------------------------------------------------
| | Long-lived Assets, Intangible Assets
    and Goodwill

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
we must test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired) using
reporting units identified for the purpose of assessing
potential future impairments of goodwill.

We assess the impairment of identifiable
intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could
trigger an impairment review include the following:



| |   |                                                                                                                          
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | significant underperformance relative to
    historical or projected future operating results,                           
|
| |  | significant changes in the manner of our use of
    the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall
    business, and
|
| |  | significant negative industry or economic trends.                                                                        

When we determine that the carrying value of
intangibles, long-lived assets and goodwill may not be
recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above
indicators of potential impairment, we assess whether an
impairment has occurred based on whether net book value of the
assets exceeds related projected undiscounted cash flows from
these assets, considering a number of factors including past
operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends
and product development cycles. Differing estimates and
assumptions as to any of the factors described above could
result in a materially different impairment charge and thus
materially different results of operations.

| | Acquisition Accounting

In connection with our acquisitions, we must
allocate the purchase price to the assets we acquire, such as
net tangible assets, completed technology, in-process research
and development (IPR&D), client contracts, other
identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. We apply
significant judgments and estimates in determining the fair
market value of the assets acquired and their useful lives. For
example, we have determined the fair value of existing client
contracts based on the discounted estimated net future cash
flows from such client contracts existing at the date of
acquisition and the fair value of the completed technology based
on the discounted estimated future cash flows from the product
sales of such completed technology. While actual results during
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 were consistent
with our estimated cash flows and we did not incur any
impairment charges in 2002 or 2003, different estimates and
assumptions in valuing acquired assets could yield materially
different results.

| | ------------
| | Income Taxes

The carrying value of our net deferred tax assets
assumes that we will be able to generate sufficient future
taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates
and assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions
change in the future, we may be required to record additional
valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets resulting
in additional income tax expense in our consolidated statement
of operations. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate whether
deferred tax assets are realizable and assess whether there is a
need for additional valuation allowances. Such estimates require
significant judgment on the part of our management. In addition,
we evaluate the need to provide additional tax provisions for
adjustments proposed by taxing authorities.

| | Marketable Securities

We classify our entire investment portfolio,
consisting of corporate equities and debt securities issued by
federal government agencies, state and local governments of the
United States and corporations, as available for sale
securities. Carrying amounts approximate fair value, as
estimated based on market prices and any unrealized gain or loss
is recognized in stockholders equity. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and
Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) 59, Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity
Securities, provide guidance on determining when an
investment is other than temporarily impaired. In making this
judgment, we evaluate, among other factors, the duration and
extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than
its cost and the financial health of and the business outlook
for the investee, including factors in the industry and
financing cash flows. Incorrect assessments could adversely
affect our working capital.

Revenues

We derive our revenues from software licenses,
related maintenance and professional services and outsourcing
services. Revenues were $56.4 million, $62.4 million
and $65.5 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Revenue growth in 2002 was primarily a result of our
acquisitions of Digital Visions in November 2001, Real-Time in
January 2002 and DBC in November 2002, which added an aggregate
of $8.7 million in revenues, and increased sales of loan
management and real estate property management products compared
to 2001, offset in part by a decrease in professional services
revenues. The increase in revenues from 2002 to 2003 of
$3.1 million, or 5.0%, was due to overall increases in
maintenance, professional services and outsourcing revenues,
including an increase of $3.6 million as a result of a full
year of activity following our acquisition of DBC in November
2002, offset by a decrease in license revenues.



| |                  
| | -----------------
| | Software Licenses

Software license revenues were
$15.3 million, $15.6 million and $14.2 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The increase in software
license revenues from 2001 to 2002 of $0.3 million, or
2.2%, was mainly due to an increase in sales resulting from our
acquisitions of Real-Time and DBC, which added an aggregate of
$2.0 million in software license revenues, and increased
sales of our LMS product, offset by decreases in sales of our
CAMRA and Total Return products. The decrease in software
license revenues from 2002 to 2003 of $1.4 million, or
8.9%, was primarily due to decreased sales of new CAMRA,
Antares, LMS and Skyline licenses, offset by increased sales of
financial modeling products and AdvisorWare. Sales of DBC
products also increased in 2003 by $0.9 million,
representing a full year of activity following our acquisition
of this business in November 2002. We have diverse product
offerings and, as a result, different products show strength in
given years due to the intrinsic demand for and the life cycle
of such products as well as the cyclical trends in the markets
such products serve. Software license revenues will vary
depending on the timing, size and nature of our license
transactions.



| |            
| | -----------
| | Maintenance

Maintenance revenues were $26.7 million,
$27.9 million and $31.3 million in 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively. The increase in maintenance revenues from
2001 to 2002 of $1.1 million, or 4.2%, was primarily due to
the acquisitions of Real-Time and DBC in January and November of
2002 and higher average annual maintenance fees and was offset
by a decrease of $0.6 million in maintenance revenues from
discontinued products. Maintenance revenues increased from 2002
to 2003 by $3.4 million, or 12.5%, primarily as a result of
a full year of maintenance revenues from DBC, as well as higher
average annual maintenance fees for most of our products. 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
$8.0 million, $6.3 million and $6.8 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Professional services
revenues decreased from 2001 to 2002 by $1.7 million, or
20.9%, primarily due to a decrease in demand for our
implementation, conversion and training services. Professional
services revenues increased from 2002 to 2003 by
$0.4 million, or 6.8%, primarily due to a significant
professional services project during the third and fourth
quarters of 2003. 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 $6.3 million,
$12.6 million and $13.2 million in 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively. The increase in outsourcing revenues from
2001 to 2002 by $6.3 million, or 99.2%, was primarily
attributable to the outsourcing services provided by Digital
Visions and Real-Time and increased demand by clients for
outsourcing services provided by SS&C Direct as an
alternative to license purchases.

22



---



##### Table of Contents



Outsourcing revenues increased from 2002 to 2003
by $0.6 million, or 4.7%, as a result of increased demand
for our SS&C Direct services, both by new clients and by
existing clients. 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
$20.3 million, $21.0 million and $20.4 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Our gross margin increased
from 64% in 2001 to 66% in 2002, and increased to 69% in 2003.
The increase in gross margin from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due
to increased outsourcing revenues and lower cost of maintenance
revenues due to our cost reduction programs initiated in late
2001 which continued in 2002. The increase in gross margin from
2002 to 2003 was primarily attributable to efficiencies gained
in providing an increased level of outsourcing and professional
services without incurring the same level of increase in our
costs.



| |                                      
| | -------------------------------------
| | Cost of Software License
    Revenues

Cost of software license revenues consists
primarily of amortization expense of completed technology,
royalties, third-party software, the costs of product media,
packaging and documentation. The cost of software license
revenues was $0.7 million, $1.3 million and
$1.9 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The cost
of software license revenues as a percentage of these revenues
was 5%, 8% and 13% in 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively. Costs
increased from 2001 to 2002 primarily due to the amortization
expense of completed technology relating to the acquisitions of
Real-Time in January 2002 and DBC in November 2002 of an
aggregate of $0.5 million. The increase in costs from 2002
to 2003 resulted primarily from a full year of amortization
expense of completed technology relating to the November 2002
acquisition of DBC of $0.6 million.



| |                             
| | ----------------------------
| | Cost of Maintenance Revenues

Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily
of technical client support and costs associated with the
distribution of product and regulatory updates. The cost of
maintenance revenues was $6.8 million, $5.6 million
and $6.2 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The
decrease in costs from 2001 to 2002 of $1.2 million, or
17.2%, was primarily due to improved efficiencies and cost
reductions initiated by us in late 2001 and continuing in 2002.
These cost reductions resulted in lower personnel-related costs
and lower operating costs. Costs increased in absolute dollars
from 2002 to 2003 primarily due to our engagement of a third
party with actuarial expertise to assist with the management of
our PTS business. Costs, as a percentage of revenues, relating
to these management services are expected to continue at
approximately these levels for the near term. The cost of
maintenance revenues as a percentage of these revenues was 25%,
20% and 20% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively.



| |                                           
| | ------------------------------------------
| | Cost of Professional Services
    Revenues

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 $6.9 million, $5.4 million and
$4.4 million in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The cost
of professional services revenues as a percentage of these
revenues was 86%, 86% and 65% in 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. Our professional services margin improved from
2002 to 2003 primarily due to a significantly large consulting
project that commenced during the third quarter of 2003. The
decrease in costs, in terms of dollars, is a product of our
effort to align the size of our professional consulting
organization with the demand for our implementation and
consulting services.

| | ----------------------------
| | Cost of Outsourcing Revenues

Cost of outsourcing revenues consists primarily
of the cost related to personnel utilized in servicing our
outsourcing clients. The cost of outsourcing revenues was
$5.9 million, $8.6 million and $8.0 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The cost of outsourcing
revenues as a percentage of these revenues was 93%, 68% and 61%
in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. We have improved margins
for outsourcing revenues by managing costs and improving
efficiencies. The increase in costs, in terms of dollars, from
2001 to 2002 was due to the Digital Visions and Real-Time
acquisitions and was partially offset by cost reductions in the
SS&C Direct business unit. The decrease in costs from 2002
to 2003 was largely attributable to our ability to effectively
service a larger base of outsourcing clients with a lower
average headcount. Additionally, we were able to manage our
costs for outside data fees, which decreased by
$0.3 million from 2002 to 2003, due to successful
negotiation of a new agreement.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses were
$33.5 million, $30.3 million and $26.7 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively and represent 59%, 49% and
41%, respectively, of total revenues in those years. The
decrease in total operating expenses was primarily due, in 2002,
to a decrease in personnel-related costs of $1.9 million
and, in 2003, the absence of the $1.7 million of IPR&D
expense we took in 2002, as well as a decrease of
$0.8 million of depreciation and $0.7 million of
personnel-related costs. We initiated cost reduction programs
and improved operating efficiency in both 2001 and 2002 to
reduce operating costs and bring them more in-line with our
revenues. We continued to manage spending levels through 2003
and, although we expect some increase in our operating expenses
due to increased sales of our products and services, we expect
to continue to manage spending levels in 2004.



| |                      
| | ---------------------
| | 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
$11.4 million, $9.1 million and $8.4 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, representing 20%, 15% and
13%, respectively, of total revenues in those years. Our costs
decreased in both 2002 and 2003 primarily due to reductions in
support personnel costs and continued reductions in advertising
and promotion expenses as a result of our shift to an Internet
strategy.



| |                         
| | ------------------------
| | 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 $11.3 million,
$11.8 million and $11.2 million in 2001, 2002 and
2003, respectively, representing 20%, 19% and 17%, respectively,
of total revenues in those years. The increase in expenses in
2002 was mainly due to the acquisitions of Digital Visions,
Real-Time and DBC, offset by cost reductions in personnel and
other related support costs. The decrease in research and
development expenses in 2003 was primarily due to lower expenses
related to outside consultants, as well as the control of
compensation expense through the reduction of average headcount.



| |                           
| | --------------------------
| | 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 $10.0 million, $7.7 million and $7.2 million
in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, representing 18%, 12% and
11%, respectively, of total revenues in those years. The
decrease in expenses in 2002 was attributable to lower
personnel-related costs and improved cost controls in the areas
of telecommunications and

24

##### Table of Contents



professional services. General and administrative
expenses decreased in 2003 primarily due to lower
personnel-related costs and costs of outside services and
professional services.




| |                     
| | --------------------
| | Restructuring Charge

In 2001, we incurred a restructuring charge of
$0.8 million related to the elimination of
55 positions and the closing of several branches. This
charge primarily consisted of severance pay for terminated
employees of $0.4 million, ongoing lease commitments of
$0.3 million and fixed assets write-offs of
$0.1 million.



| |                                                               
| | --------------------------------------------------------------
| | Write-off of Purchased In-Process Research
    and Development

In January 2002, we acquired Real-Time. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
the purchase price was allocated among tangible and intangible
assets, liabilities, and IPR&D based on their fair values on
the date of the acquisition. The acquired IPR&D had not yet
reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future
use and, accordingly, $1.7 million was expensed on the date
of the acquisition.



| |                                   
| | ----------------------------------
| | Interest and Other Income,
    Net

Interest income, net consists of interest income
less interest expense. Interest income, net was
$2.7 million, $1.4 million and $0.9 million in
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in interest
income, net in 2002 was the result of lower market interest
rates on investments and a reduction in the cash and investment
balance due to our stock repurchase program. Interest income,
net decreased in 2003 primarily due to lower market interest
rates on investments. Included in other income, net in 2001 were
net gains of $2.4 million resulting from sales of equity
investments, offset by the write-off of $1.3 million
related to an investment in a privately held company. Included
in other income, net in 2002 were net losses of
$0.2 million related to the sale of investments. Included
in other income, net in 2003 were net gains of $0.3 million
resulting from sale of equity investments, offset by
$0.2 million in expenses related to the settlement of
outstanding tax-related issues.



| |                           
| | --------------------------
| | Provision for Income Taxes

We had effective tax rates of approximately 38%,
41% and 39% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The higher tax
rate in 2002 was primarily due to lower tax credits in the
period and the impact of a settlement reached with the Internal
Revenue Service in the third quarter of 2002 of a dispute
arising out of our deductions related to the 1999 litigation
settlement payment of $9.3 million. We reached a settlement
with the IRS that allowed us to deduct $5.5 million of the
original $6.8 million deduction. The impact of this
settlement was a tax cost of $0.5 million, which was
included in our 2002 income tax provision. Although a
substantial number of the issues raised by the IRS for the years
audited in connection with the dispute have been resolved, we
also received notice of proposed tax deficiencies for the years
1996 to 1999 relating to our research and experimentation
credits. In 2003, we reached a tentative settlement with the IRS
that allowed 50% of the research and experimentation credits
associated with the 1996 to 1999 years, or $351,000. This amount
has been included in our tax provision as of December 31,
2003. We had $7.0 million of deferred tax assets at
December 31, 2003. In future years, we expect to have
sufficient levels of profitability to realize the deferred tax
assets at December 31, 2003.

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 and payment of

25

##### Table of Contents



dividends, if any, to our stockholders. We do not
expect to undertake any additional repurchases of our common
stock in the near future. 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 Flows

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities at December 31, 2003 were $52.4 million,
which represents an increase of $10.7 million from
$41.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was mainly due
to operations and proceeds from stock option exercises, offset
by purchases of common stock for treasury. In 2003, we used
$17.7 million in cash for the repurchase of
1.7 million shares of our common stock. Equity investments
valued at $7.0 million, which are subject to market risk
due to their volatility, are included in marketable securities
at December 31, 2003.

Net cash provided by operating activities was
$23.7 million in 2003, an increase of $8.2 million
from $15.5 million in 2002. Net cash provided by operating
activities was primarily due to earnings adjusted for
depreciation and amortization, tax benefits related to option
exercises and an increase in customer payments from accounts
receivable and deferred revenue. Our accounts receivable days
sales outstanding at December 31, 2003 was 43 days,
compared to 61 days at December 31, 2002. This
improvement by 18 days resulted primarily from efficiencies
gained in our billing process, as well as favorable collections.

Cash used in investing activities was
$15.3 million in 2003. Cash used in investing activities
consisted primarily of net purchases of marketable securities of
$12.4 million and cash paid for the acquisition of Amicorp
Groups fund services business of $1.8 million.

Cash used in financing activities was
$12.1 million in 2003. Cash used in financing activities
was primarily due to our stock repurchase plan. In 2003, we
purchased 1.7 million shares of our common stock for
treasury for a total of $17.7 million. Additionally, we
paid our first-ever cash dividend, using $1.2 million. This
use of cash was partially offset by the proceeds from the
exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock
pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.

As of December 31, 2003, we had
$15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$37.1 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. During the
first quarter of 2004, we expect to use approximately
$1.3 million for the payment of the semi-annual cash
dividend of $0.07 per share.

In July 2003, our board of directors declared its
first semi-annual cash dividend of $0.067 per share of
common stock, which was paid in September 2003. On
February 5, 2004, our board of directors declared a $0.07
cash dividend per share of common stock, payable on or about
March 24, 2004 to stockholders of record as of
March 10, 2004. Although we expect to declare cash
dividends in the future, various factors, including our
financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated
cash needs and plans for expansion, will affect our
decision-making process.

In addition, from time to time, we are subject to
certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of our business. In the opinion of management, we are not
a party to any litigation that we believe could have a material
effect on us or our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that
have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect
on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2003, we adopted EITF
Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables. This issue addresses accounting for
arrangements with multiple revenue-generating activities and
applies to our non-software transactions. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material impact on our financial
statements.

In May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-5,
Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to
Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing
More-Than-Incidental Software. This issue addresses
revenue recognition for arrangements that include non-software
deliverables, such as hardware, that are more than incidental to
the products or services as a whole. The consensus indicates
that, if the software is not essential to the functionality of
the non-software deliverable, the non-software deliverable is
excluded from the scope of SOP 97-2. We do not have any
arrangements that include non-software deliverables.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees
of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires a
company, at the time it issues a guarantee, to recognize an
initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed
under the guarantees and warranties. The initial recognition
requirements of FIN 45 were effective for guarantees issued
or modified after December 31, 2002, and adoption of the
disclosure requirements was effective for us during the quarter
ended March 31, 2003. The adoption of FIN 45 did not
have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position
or results of operations.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future
Operating Results

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our revenues and operating results have
fluctuated significantly, and may continue to fluctuate
significantly, from quarter to quarter

Historically, our revenues and operating results
have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter. Our
quarterly operating results may continue to fluctuate due to a
number of factors, including:



| |   |                                                                                                                                             
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | the timing, size and nature of our individual
    license and service transactions,                                                         
|
| |  | the timing of the introduction and the market
    acceptance of new products, product enhancements or services by
    us or our competitors,
|
| |  | the relative proportions of revenues derived from
    license fees, maintenance, professional services and outsourcing,

| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | the tendency of some of our clients to wait until
    the end of a fiscal quarter or our fiscal year in the hope of
    obtaining more favorable terms,
|
| |  | changes in client budgets and decision-making
    processes that could affect both the timing and the size of any
    transaction,                     
|
| |  | the amount and timing of operating costs and
    other expenses,                                                                                       
|
| |  | cancellations of maintenance and/or outsourcing
    arrangements by our clients,                                                                       
|
| |  | changes in local, national and international
    regulatory requirements,                                                                              
|
| |  | changes in our personnel, and                                                                                                                          
|
| |  | fluctuations in economic and financial market
    conditions.                                                                                          

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 hurt our
business and results of operations

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.

Our success depends on retaining and
attracting clients

If we are unable to keep existing clients
satisfied, sell additional products and services to existing
clients or attract new clients, then our business and financial
results may suffer. A variety of factors could affect our
ability to successfully retain and attract clients, including:



| |   |                                                                                                             
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | the level of demand for our products and services,                                                          
|
| |  | the level of client spending for information
    technology,                                                
|
| |  | the level of competition from internal client
    solutions and from other vendors,                         
|
| |  | the quality of our client service,                                                                          
|
| |  | our ability to update our products and services
    and develop new products and services needed by clients,
|
| |  | our ability to understand the organization and
    processes of our clients, and                            
|
| |  | our ability to integrate and manage acquired
    businesses.

We may not achieve the anticipated benefits
from our acquisitions and may face difficulties in integrating
our acquisitions, which could adversely affect our business and
results of operations

We have made and may in the future make
acquisitions of companies, products or technologies that we
believe could complement or expand our business, augment our
market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise
offer growth opportunities. Failure to achieve the anticipated
benefits of an 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 and NeoVision
Hypersystems, 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
realize the benefits we anticipate from these acquisitions, such
as lower costs or increased revenues. We may also realize such
benefits more slowly than anticipated, due to our inability to:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                      
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | combine operations, facilities and differing firm
    cultures,                                                                                                                      
|
| |  | retain the clients or employees of acquired
    entities,                                                                                                                            
|
| |  | generate market demand for new products and
    services,                                                                                                                            
|
| |  | coordinate geographically dispersed operations
    and successfully adapt to the complexities of international
    operations,                                                       
|
| |  | integrate the technical teams of these companies
    with our engineering organization,                                                                                              
|
| |  | incorporate acquired technologies and products
    into our current and future product lines, and                                                                                    
|
| |  | integrate the products and services of these
    companies with our business, where we do not have distribution,
    marketing or support experience for these products and services.

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.

We may be unable to grow our business because
of a lack of suitable businesses to acquire

We may not identify suitable businesses to
acquire or negotiate acceptable terms for acquisitions. Our
growth has depended on our ability to acquire similar or
complementary businesses on favorable terms. This growth
strategy is subject to a number of risks that could adversely
affect our business and financial results, including:



| |   |                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |  | we may not be able to find suitable businesses to
    acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms,                                                                       
|
| |  | we may face competition for acquisitions from
    other potential acquirers or from the possibility of the
    acquisition target pursuing an initial public offering of its
    stock, and
|
| |  | we may find it more difficult or costly to
    complete acquisitions due to changes in accounting, tax,
    securities or other regulations.

If we are unable to protect our proprietary
technology, our success and our ability to compete will be
subject to various risks

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.

We do not have any patents, and existing
copyright laws 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

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

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. Because our expenses are relatively fixed in the short
term, a fluctuation in revenues could lead to operating results
differing from expectations.

We derive our revenues primarily from CAMRA,
AdvisorWare, LMS and SKYLINE software and the provision of
maintenance and professional services in support of such
software

To date, substantially all of our revenues have
been attributable to the licensing of our CAMRA, AdvisorWare,
LMS and SKYLINE software and the provision of maintenance and
professional services in support of such software. We expect
that the revenues from these software products 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 business, financial condition and results
of operations.

We face significant competition with respect
to our products and services

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.

Many 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.

Our inability to introduce new products and
services could adversely affect our business 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:

    breaches that allow unauthorized persons to gain access to
    confidential information stored on our computers or transmitted
    over our network.

Our failure to develop new products and services
in a timely fashion or to address promptly the needs of the
financial markets could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Undetected software design defects, errors or
failures may result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of
our products that could seriously harm our business

Our software products are highly complex and
sophisticated and could contain design defects or software
errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors or bugs
may result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of our
software products or loss of client data or require design
modifications. We cannot assure you that, despite testing by us
and our clients, errors will not be found in new products, which
errors could result in a delay in or an inability to achieve
market acceptance and thus could have a material adverse effect
upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on attracting, training
and retaining qualified managerial, technical and sales
personnel

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 president, 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.

We face challenges in maintaining and
expanding our international operations

Our international business may be subject to a
variety of other risks, including:



| |   |

    international marketing efforts,                        
|

    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

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. 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, financial condition or results of operations.

Recently enacted and proposed regulatory
changes may cause us to incur increased costs and failure or
circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously
harm our business

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws
and regulations affecting public companies, including the
provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules proposed
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
to detect other than inconsequential error or fraud could
seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and may continue
to be volatile in the future, which could result in substantial
losses for our investors

The trading price of our common stock has been,
and is expected to continue to be, highly volatile. The
following factors may significantly and adversely affect the
trading price of our common stock:

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 7A. | 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 December 31,
2003, 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 9A. | 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 December 31, 2003.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2003,
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
December 31, 2003 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

SS&C Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries:


In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements listed in the index appearing under
Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of SS&C Technologies, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company adopted Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, effective January 1, 2002.

|2. | Summary of Significant Accounting
    Policies



| |                 
| | ----------------
| | Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used
for, but not limited to, collectibility of accounts receivables,
costs to complete certain contracts, income tax accruals and the
value of deferred tax assets. Estimates are also used to
determine the remaining economic lives and carrying value of
fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.



| |                            
| | ---------------------------
| | Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant
accounts, transactions and profits between the consolidated
companies have been eliminated in consolidation.



| |                    
| | -------------------
| | Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the principles of Statement
of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, Software Revenue
Recognition (SOP 97-2), which provides
guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in
recognizing revenue on software transactions. SOP 97-2
requires that revenue recognized from software transactions be
allocated to each element of the transaction based on the
relative fair values of the elements, such as software products,
specified upgrades, enhancements, post-contract client support,
installation or training. The determination of fair value is
based upon vendor-specific objective evidence. Under
SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes software license revenue
allocated to software products,

F-6

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS  (Continued)

specified upgrades and enhancements generally
upon delivery of each of the related products, upgrades or
enhancements, assuming all other revenue criteria are met.

Deferred revenue consists of payments received
related to product delivery, maintenance and other services,
which have been paid by customers prior to the recognition of
revenue. Deferred revenue relates primarily to cash received for
maintenance contracts in advance of services performed.



| |                
| | ---------------
| | License Revenue

The Company generally recognizes revenue from
sales of software or products including proprietary software
upon product shipment and receipt of a signed contract, provided
that collection is probable and all other revenue recognition
criteria of SOP 97-2 are met. The Company sells software
licenses in conjunction with professional services for
installation and maintenance. For these arrangements, the total
contract value is attributed first to the maintenance
arrangement based on its fair value, which is derived from
renewal rates. The contract value is then attributed to
professional services based on estimated fair value, which is
derived from the rates charged for similar services provided on
a stand-alone basis. The Companys software license
agreements generally do not require significant modification or
customization of the underlying software, and, accordingly,
installation services are not considered essential to
functionality. The remainder of the total contract value is then
attributed to the software license based on the residual method
described in SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2,
Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain
Transactions.

The Company occasionally enters into license
agreements requiring significant customization of the
Companys software. The Company accounts for the license
fees under these agreements on the percentage-of-completion
basis. This method requires estimates to be made for costs to
complete the agreement utilizing an estimate of development
man-hours remaining. Due to uncertainties inherent in the
estimation process, it is at least reasonably possible that
completion costs may be revised. Such revisions are recognized
in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions
for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are determined on
a contract-by-contract basis, and are made in the period in
which such losses are first estimated or determined.



| |                       
| | ----------------------
| | Maintenance Agreements

Maintenance agreements generally require the
Company to provide technical support and software updates to its
clients. Maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the
term of the maintenance agreement.



| |                                          
| | -----------------------------------------
| | Professional and Outsourcing
    Services

The Company provides consulting, training and
outsourcing services to its clients. Revenue for such services
is generally recognized over the period during which the
services are performed. The Company typically charges for
professional services on a time and materials basis. However,
some contracts are for a fixed fee. For the fixed-fee
arrangements, an estimate is made of the total hours expected to
be incurred to complete the project. Due to uncertainties
inherent in the estimation process, it is at least reasonably
possible that completion costs may be revised. Such revisions
are recognized in the period in which the revisions are
determined. Revenue is recognized each period based on the hours
incurred to date compared to the total hours expected to
complete the project.



| |                         
| | ------------------------
| | Research and Development

Research and development costs associated with
computer software are charged to expense as incurred. In
accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold,

Leased, or Otherwise Marketed,
capitalization of internally developed computer software costs
begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility based
on a working model. Net capitalized software costs of $401,000
and $151,000 are included in the December 31, 2002 and 2003
balance sheets, respectively, under Intangible and other
assets.

The Companys policy is to amortize these
costs upon a products general release to the client.
Amortization of capitalized software costs is calculated by the
greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for a
product bear to the total of current and anticipated future
gross revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line
method over the remaining estimated economic life of the
product, including the period being reported on, typically two
to six years. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of
anticipated future gross revenues, the remaining estimated
economic life of the product, or both could be reduced
significantly due to competitive pressures. Amortization expense
related to capitalized software development costs for 2001, 2002
and 2003 was $222,000, $294,000 and $250,000, respectively.



| |                   
| | ------------------
| | Stock Compensation

The Company has elected to follow Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related
interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of employee stock
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant and the grants are for a fixed number of shares,
no compensation expense is recorded.

In December 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-
Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 148 amends
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
to provide alternative methods of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. We have adopted the disclosure provisions
of SFAS No. 148. SFAS No. 148 did not
require us to change to the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation.

The Company follows the disclosure-only
provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, amended by SFAS No. 148.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan. Had
compensation cost for the Companys stock option plans and
employee stock purchase plan been determined consistent with
SFAS No. 123, the Companys net income and
earnings per share would have been adjusted to the pro forma
amounts indicated in the table below for the years ending
December 31 (in thousands except per share amounts):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively: dividend yield of
0%; expected lives of five years; expected volatility of 58%,
59% and 57%;

and risk-free interest rate of 4.49%, 3.9% and
2.9%. The weighted-average fair value of options granted using
this option-pricing model in 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $1.65,
$2.78 and $4.04, respectively.

The fair value of each estimated stock grant
under the employee stock purchase plan is based on the price of
the stock at the beginning of the offering period using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions used for grants in 2001, 2002 and 2003,
respectively: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 58%,
59% and 50%; risk-free interest rate of 5.39%, 2.27% and 1.43%
and expected lives of 6 months.



| |             
| | ------------
| | Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, an asset and
liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the future tax consequences of items that have
already been recognized in its financial statements and tax
returns. A valuation allowance is established against net
deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

| | -------------------------------------------------------
| | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable
    Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid
marketable securities with original maturities of three months
or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Debt
securities with original maturities of more than three months at
the date of acquisition are classified as marketable securities.
The Company classifies its entire investment portfolio,
consisting of debt securities issued by state and local
governments of the United States, debt securities issued by
corporations and equities, as available for sale securities. All
available for sale securities are recorded at fair market value,
and changes in fair market value are recorded in
stockholders equity until the securities are sold.



| |                       
| | ----------------------
| | Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using a
combination of straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

|                       |  |

|Leasehold improvements |  | Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life

Depreciation expense for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 was $3,269,000, $2,906,000
and $2,119,000, respectively.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
The costs of sold or retired assets are removed from the related
asset and accumulated depreciation accounts and any gain or loss
is included in other income, net.

| | Goodwill and Intangible
    Assets

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least
annually. The Company has completed the required impairment
tests for goodwill and has determined that no impairment existed
as of December 31,

2002 or 2003. Amortization expense associated
with goodwill was $64,000 for the year ended December 31,
2001.

Completed technology and other identifiable
intangible assets are amortized over four to five years based on
the ratio that current gross revenues of the product bear to the
total of current and anticipated future gross revenues of the
product or on a straight-line method, whichever is shorter.
Amortization expense associated with completed technology and
other amortizable intangible assets was $34,000, $739,000 and
$1,193,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, and
2003, respectively.

Amortization expense, related to intangible
assets, for each of the next five years ending December 31
is expected to approximate:

| | Impairment of Long-Lived
    Assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its
long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of. The Company assesses potential impairments to
its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or
changes in circumstances have made recovery of the assets
carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would be recognized
when the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company has
identified no such impairment losses. Substantially all of the
Companys long-lived assets are located in the United
States.

| | ----------------------------
| | Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject
the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist
principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities,
and trade receivables. The Company has cash investment policies
that limit investments to investment grade securities.
Concentrations of credit risk, with respect to trade
receivables, are limited due to the fact that the Companys
client base is highly diversified. As of December 31, 2002
and 2003, the Company had no significant concentrations of
credit risk and the carrying value of these assets approximates
fair value.

| | -------------------------------------------------
| | International Operations and Foreign
    Currency

The functional currency of each foreign
subsidiary is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and
liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to
U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and capital
stock accounts are translated at historical rates. Revenues and
expenses are translated using the average rates during the
period. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from
net earnings and accumulated as a separate component of
stockholders equity. Foreign currency transaction gains
and losses are included in the results of operations in the
periods in which they occur and are immaterial for all periods
presented.

| | Basic and Diluted Earnings Per
    Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing net

and 2003, respectively, but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including
the options would be antidilutive.

| | Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
requires that items defined as comprehensive income, such as
foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains
(losses) on marketable securities, be separately classified in
the financial statements and that the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income be reported separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of
the balance sheet. Total comprehensive income consists of net
income and other accumulated comprehensive income disclosed in
the equity section of the balance sheet.

The following table sets forth the components of
comprehensive income (in thousands):

| | Recent Accounting
    Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2003, the Company adopted
EITF Issue No. 00-21, Revenue Arrangements with
Multiple Deliverables. This issue addresses accounting for
arrangements with multiple revenue-generating activities and
applies to the Companys non-software transactions. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.

In May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-5,
Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to
Non-Software Deliverables in an Arrangement Containing
More-Than-Incidental Software. This issue addresses
revenue recognition for arrangements that include non-software
deliverables, such as hardware, that are more than incidental to
the products or services as a whole. The consensus indicates
that, if the software is not essential to the functionality of
the non-software deliverable, the non-software deliverable is
excluded from the scope of SOP 97-2. We do not have any
arrangements that include non-software deliverables.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees
of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45). FIN 45

requires a company, at the time it issues a
guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value
of obligations assumed under the guarantees and warranties. The
initial recognition requirements of FIN 45 were effective
for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002,
and adoption of the disclosure requirements was effective for
the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The
adoption of FIN 45 did not have a significant impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had
federal tax credit carryforwards of $312,000 that begin to
expire in 2005 and state credit carryforwards of $289,000 that
begin to expire in 2011.

In 2001, the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) notified the Company of purported federal
income tax deficiencies for the years 1997 through 1999. At
issue was the Companys deduction of an aggregate of
$6.8 million of payments made by the Company pursuant to
the settlement, on May 7, 1999, of a consolidated
securities class action lawsuit. In 2002, the Company reached a
settlement with the IRS that allowed the Company to deduct
$5.5 million of the original $6.8 million deduction.
The impact of this settlement has been included in the
Companys 2002 income tax provision.

Although a substantial number of issues for the
years being audited have been resolved, the Company also
received notice of proposed tax deficiencies for the years 1996
to 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 1996 to
1999 years, or $351,000. This amount has been included in the
Companys tax provision as of December 31, 2003.

The exercise price for each of the above grants
was determined by the Board of Directors to be equal to the fair
market value of the Companys common stock on the date of
grant.

The Companys 1996 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan (ESPP) permits employees to purchase shares of
common stock pursuant to payroll deductions at a price equal to
85% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock
on either the first or last day of the purchase period,
whichever is lower. The Company has adopted semi-annual purchase
periods of October through March and April through September. As
of December 31, 2003, employees had deposited with the
Company, through payroll deductions, approximately $107,000 to
purchase shares through the ESPP at March 31, 2004. In May
2003, the ESPP was further amended to increase the reserved
shares from 900,000 to 1,200,000.

At December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, an
aggregate of 7,867,500, 6,135,000 and 6,691,000 shares,
respectively, were reserved for issuance under the
Companys stock option plans and employee stock purchase
plan.

|11. | Acquisitions

On December 12, 2003, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of Amicorp Groups fund
services business for $1.8 million in cash. The fund
services business, named SS&C Fund Services N.V., is
headquartered in Curacao, the Netherlands Antilles. SS&C
Fund Services serves the fund community with both on and
offshore services, including transfer agency, net asset
valuation, account control and reconciliation, set up of
investment funds, maintenance of corporate vehicles and client
service management.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
The net assets and results of operations of the fund services
business have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from December 12, 2003. A summary of the
purchase price allocation appears below. The purchase price was
allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on their fair
market value on the date of the acquisition. There was no
technology acquired as part of this acquisition. The fair value
of acquired client contracts of $0.4 million was determined
based on the discounted future cash flows method. This
intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over five
years, the estimated future period over which the Company
expects to derive an economic benefit from the contracts.

On November 15, 2002, the Company acquired
the assets and business of DBC, a business within The Thomson
Corporation and assumed certain liabilities. DBC is a leading
provider of financial software for fixed income analysis in
municipal finance in the United States. DBC products are widely
used for structuring general obligation and revenue bond issues,
including asset-backed housing and student loan securitizations.
The consideration for the deal was $4.6 million in cash and
the costs of the transaction.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
The net assets and results of operations of DBC have been
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company
from November 1, 2002. The purchase price was first
allocated to tangible assets and liabilities based on their fair
value on the date of the acquisition. The fair value of acquired
completed technology of $2.9 million was determined based
on the future cash flows method. The acquired completed
technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over five
years, the estimated life of the product. The remainder of the
purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

On January 15, 2002, the Company acquired
the assets and business of Real-Time USA, Inc.
(Real-Time), a solution provider of sell-side fixed
income applications. Real-Time delivers a comprehensive suite of
front-, mid-, and back-office applications via Application
Service Provider (ASP) or license, to commercial
banks and broker-dealers throughout the United States. The
consideration for the deal was $3.9 million in cash and the
assumption of certain liabilities by the Company, and a
potential earn-out payment by the Company of up to
$1.2 million in cash if certain 2002 revenue targets were
achieved. The

earn-out targets were not attained in 2002 and
thus no payment was made. A summary of the allocation of the
purchase price appears below.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
The net assets and results of operations of Real-Time have been
included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company
from January 1, 2002. The purchase price was allocated to
tangible and intangible assets, liabilities, and in-process
research and development (IPR&D) based on their
fair value on the date of the acquisition. The fair value
assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on an
independent appraisal. The fair value of acquired completed
technology of $1.7 million was determined based on the
future cash flows method. The acquired completed technology is
amortized on a straight-line basis over four years, the
estimated life of the product.

The Company recorded a one-time write-off of
$1.7 million in the period ended March 31, 2002
related to the value of IPR&D acquired as part of the
purchase of Real-Time that had not yet reached technological
feasibility and had no alternative future use. Accordingly,
these costs were expensed upon acquisition. At the acquisition
date, Real-Time was developing Lightning, a full-service ASP
bond accounting solution designed specifically for large
regional banks. The allocation of $1.7 million to IPR&D
represents the estimated fair value related to this incomplete
project based on risk-adjusted cash flows adjusted to reflect
the contribution of core technology. The net cash flows were
then discounted utilizing a weighted average cost of capital of
26%. This discount rate takes into consideration the inherent
uncertainties surrounding the successful development of the
in-process research and development, the profitability levels of
such technology and the potential for other competing
technological advances which could potentially impact the
estimates. The Lightning project was completed in 2002.

On November 15, 2001, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets of Digital Visions
(DVI), a division of Netzee, Inc. and assumed
certain liabilities, for $1.6 million. DVI delivers two
major products over the Internet to over 1,700 community
financial institutions. The first is a suite of bond accounting,
interest rate analytic, and asset liability management services
under the brand name PortPro, which is primarily sold through
dealer banks and bond brokers. The second is a Mall
of information services designed to help retail and small
business lending officers at these institutions.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
The net assets and results of operations of DVI have been
included in the consolidated financial statements from
November 1, 2001. A summary of the purchase price
allocation appears below. The purchase price was allocated to
tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their
fair market value on the date of the acquisition. The fair value
of acquired completed technology of $0.9 million was
determined based on the future cash flows method. The acquired
completed technology is amortized on a straight-line basis over
5 years, the estimated life of the product.

The following summarizes the allocation of the
purchase price for the Amicorp Groups fund services
business, Real-Time, DBC, and DVI acquisitions (in thousands):
