SS&C TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles were applied on a basis consistent with those of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Prospectus dated August 4, 2006 relating to its offer to exchange. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements) necessary to state fairly its financial position as of September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2005, which were included in the Company’s Prospectus dated August 4, 2006 relating to its offer to exchange. The December 31, 2005 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full year.
2. The Transaction
As more fully described in the Company’s Prospectus dated August 4, 2006 relating to its offer to exchange, the Company was acquired on November 23, 2005 through a merger transaction with Sunshine Acquisition Corporation (“Sunshine Acquisition Corporation” or “Holdings”), a Delaware corporation formed by investment funds associated with The Carlyle Group. The acquisition was accomplished through the merger of Sunshine Merger Corporation into SS&C Technologies, Inc., with SS&C Technologies, Inc. being the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Acquisition Corporation (the “Transaction”). Although the Transaction occurred on November 23, 2005, the Company adopted an effective date of November 30, 2005 for accounting purposes. The activity for the period November 23, 2005 through November 30, 2005 was not material to either the successor or predecessor periods for 2005. Although SS&C Technologies, Inc. continued as the same legal entity after the Transaction, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the Transaction and the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively. The Predecessor period results do not reflect changes in basis for the Transaction. The Company refers to the operations of SS&C Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods.
3. Stock-based Compensation
Successor
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), as of the date of the closing of the Transaction using the modified prospective method, which requires companies to record stock compensation expense for all unvested and new awards as of the adoption date. Accordingly, prior period amounts presented herein have not been restated. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period.
In August 2006, the Board of Directors of Sunshine Acquisition Corporation adopted a new equity-based incentive plan (the “2006 Equity Incentive Plan”), which authorizes equity awards to be granted for up to 1,314,567 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Sunshine Acquisition Corporation granted time-based and performance-based options to purchase approximately 468,000 and 698,000 shares of its common stock, respectively. All options awarded during this period have an exercise price of $74.50 and expire ten years from the date of grant.
Time-based options vest 25% on November 23, 2006 and 1/36th of the remaining balance each month thereafter for 36 months and can also vest upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions. Time-based options have a fair value of $31.08 per share based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with the exception of the first 25%, which is recorded between the grant date and November 23, 2006, to mirror the vesting. The Company recorded approximately $1.7 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these options for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006. At

5


Table of Contents

September 30, 2006, there is approximately $8.1 million of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation that the Company expects to recognize as expense over the next 3.2 years.
Performance-based options to purchase approximately 465,000 shares of common stock vest upon the attainment of certain annual EBITDA targets for the Company during the five-year period beginning January 1, 2006. Additionally, EBITDA in excess of the EBITDA target in any given year shall be applied to the EBITDA of any previous years for which the EBITDA target was not met in full such that attainment of a prior year EBITDA target can be achieved subsequently. In the event all EBITDA targets of previous years were met in full, the excess EBITDA shall be applied to the EBITDA for future years. These performance-based options can also vest upon a change in control, subject to certain conditions. Performance-based options have a fair value of $32.98 per share based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recorded at the time that the attainment of the annual and cumulative EBITDA targets becomes probable. The Company did not record stock-based compensation expense related to these options for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, there is approximately $10.3 million of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation that the Company expects to recognize as expense over approximately five years when and if the attainment of the EBITDA targets become probable.
For the time-based and performance-based options valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions; expected term to exercise of 4.0 years and 4.5 years, respectively; expected volatility of 45.85%; risk-free interest rate of 4.86%; and no dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on a combination of the Company’s historical volatility adjusted for the transaction and historical volatility of the Company’s peer group. Expected term to exercise is based on the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience, adjusted for the Transaction. Additionally, based upon the Company’s historical stock option forfeiture experience adjusted for the Transaction, the Company has estimated that 32.9% of total awards will be forfeited.
The remaining performance-based options to purchase approximately 233,000 shares of common stock vest only upon a change in control in which certain internal rate of return targets are attained. The Company has not yet completed the valuation of these performance-based options, which will be estimated using a binomial valuation model. Compensation expense will be recorded at the time that a change in control becomes probable. The Company did not record stock-based compensation expense related to these options for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006.
There were no unvested stock options at December 31, 2005 that carry over into future periods. The Company settles stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was as follows (in thousands):

Predecessor
Prior to the closing of the Transaction, the Company applied APB 25 in accounting for its stock plans. The Company followed the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan been determined consistent with SFAS 123, the Company’s net income would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below (in thousands):

4. Comprehensive Income
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, requires that items defined as comprehensive income, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, 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.

As part of the Predecessor’s semi-annual cash dividend program, the Company paid a dividend of $0.08 per share on each of March 3, 2005 and September 13, 2005 to stockholders of record as of February 10, 2005 and August 23, 2005, respectively.
8. Acquisitions
On March 3, 2006, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Cogent Management Inc. (“Cogent”), for $12.25 million in cash, plus the costs of effecting the transaction. The Company used $6.25 million of cash on hand and borrowed $6.0 million under the revolving portion of its senior credit facility to fund the acquisition. Cogent provides hedge fund management services primarily to U.S.-based hedge funds.
The net assets and results of operations of Cogent have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from March 1, 2006. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of client relationships and client contracts, was determined using the future cash flows method. The intangible assets are amortized each year based on the ratio that current cash flows for the intangible asset bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible asset. The intangible assets are amortized over approximately seven years, the estimated life of the assets. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.
On August 31, 2006, the Company purchased substantially all the assets of Zoologic, Inc. (“Zoologic”) for approximately $2.6 million in cash, plus the costs of effecting the transaction. Zoologic provides web-based courseware and instructor-led training for the securities, asset management and wealth management markets.
The net assets and results of operations of Zoologic have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from September 1, 2006. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the intangible assets, consisting of completed technology, trade name, client relationships and client contracts, was determined using the income approach. Specifically, the relief-from-royalty method was utilized for the completed technology and trade name and the discounted cash flows method was utilized for the contractual relationships. The intangible assets are amortized each year based on the ratio that current cash flows for the intangible asset bear to the total of current and expected future cash flows for the intangible asset. The completed technology and trade name are amortized over approximately six years, and the contractual relationships are amortized over approximately three years, the estimated lives of the assets. The remainder of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill.
The following summarizes the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisitions of Zoologic and Cogent (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, management’s observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our clients and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates and assumptions or the judgments affecting the application of those estimates and assumptions since the distribution of our Prospectus dated August 4, 2006 relating to our offer to exchange. Our critical accounting policies are described in our Prospectus dated August 4, 2006 relating to its offer to exchange and include:
  Revenue Recognition
 
  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
  Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
  Acquisition Accounting
 
  Income Taxes
The Transaction
SS&C Technologies, Inc. was acquired on November 23, 2005 through a merger transaction with Sunshine Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation formed by investment funds associated with The Carlyle Group. The acquisition was accomplished through the merger of Sunshine Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Acquisition Corporation, into SS&C Technologies, Inc., with SS&C Technologies, Inc. being the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunshine Acquisition Corporation (the “Transaction”).
Although SS&C Technologies, Inc. continued as the same legal entity after the Transaction, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the Transaction and the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively. The Company refers to the operations of SS&C Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods. The following discussion of the results of operations compares the Successor 2006 periods with the Predecessor 2005 periods. This comparison is presented because we believe it enables a meaningful comparison of our results. The Predecessor period results do not reflect changes in basis for the November 2005 Transaction.

Revenues
We derive our revenues from software licenses, related maintenance and professional services and outsourcing services. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $52.4 million, increasing 14% from $46.1 million in the same period in 2005. Organic growth was 8%, accounting for $3.9 million of the increase, and came from increased demand of $4.4 million for our outsourcing services and increases of $0.6 million and $0.7 million for maintenance and professional services revenues, respectively, offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in license sales. Sales of MarginMan products and services increased an additional $0.3 million, reflecting a full quarter of activity for the August 2005 acquisition. The remaining $2.6 million increase was due to sales of products and services that we acquired in our recent acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and Open Information Systems (OIS). Additionally, total revenues decreased $0.5 million as a result of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $151.5 million, increasing 33% from $114.2 million in the same period in 2005. Organic growth accounted for $13.2 million of the increase and was driven by increased demand of $12.0 million for our outsourcing services, and increases of $2.4 million and $1.9 million in maintenance revenues and professional services revenues, respectively, offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in license revenues. Sales of SS&C Canada (formerly FMC), FundRunner and MarginMan products and services and SS&C Fund Services increased an additional $21.3 million, reflecting a full nine months of activity for the FMC products acquired in April 2005, the FundRunner product acquired in May 2005, the MarginMan products acquired in August 2005 and services resulting from our acquisition of EisnerFast in February 2005. The remaining $6.1 million increase was due to sales of products and services that we acquired in our recent acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS. Additionally, total revenues decreased $3.4 million as a result of adjusting deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction.
Software Licenses. Software license revenues were $6.5 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to decreases in sales of our CAMRA, Real-Time, and Debt & Derivatives products totaling $2.5 million, partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in sales of our LMS product. Sales of our MarginMan product increased $0.1 million, reflecting a full quarter of activity for the August 2005 acquisition, and our acquisitions of OIS and Zoologic added a total of $0.7 million in sales. Software license revenues were $16.9 million and $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million as a result of adjusting our deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. Additionally, increases of $0.6 million and $0.4 million in sales of our SS&C Canada and FundRunner products, respectively, were offset by decreases of $2.3 million and $1.2 million in sales of our CAMRA and Real-Time products, respectively, and decreases in sales of our AdvisorWare and TradeThru products totaling $0.6 million. Sales of our SS&C Canada, FundRunner and MarginMan products increased an additional $1.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, representing a full nine months of activity for these 2005 acquisitions and our acquisitions of OIS and Zoologic added $0.7 million in software license revenue. Software license revenues will vary depending on the timing, size and nature of our license transactions. For example, the average size of our software license transactions and the number of large transactions may fluctuate on a period-to-period basis. Additionally, software license revenues will vary among the various products that we offer, due to differences such as the timing of new releases and variances in economic conditions affecting opportunities in the vertical markets served by such products.
Maintenance. Maintenance revenues were $14.2 million and $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase of $0.9 million was primarily due to our acquisitions of OIS and Zoologic, which contributed $0.5 million, as well as increases for our SS&C Canada, CAMRA, and Total Return products totaling

$0.6 million. Maintenance revenue for our MarginMan product increased $0.2 million, representing a full quarter of activity. Additionally, maintenance revenues decreased $0.4 million as a result of adjusting our deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. Maintenance revenues were $40.5 million and $35.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Maintenance revenue growth of $5.4 million was due to our acquisitions of OIS and Zoologic, which added $1.5 million, and additional SS&C Canada, MarginMan and FundRunner maintenance revenue of $2.7 million, $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, reflecting a full nine months of activity for these 2005 acquisitions. Organically, maintenance for SS&C Canada, CAMRA, Debt & Derivatives, Total Return and LMS products increased $2.4 million in total. Additionally, maintenance revenues decreased $2.7 million as a result of adjusting our deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. We typically provide maintenance services under one-year renewable contracts that provide for an annual increase in fees, generally tied to the percentage change in the consumer price index. Future maintenance revenue growth is dependent on our ability to retain existing clients, add new license clients, and increase average maintenance fees.
Professional Services. Professional services revenues were $4.5 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in professional services revenues was primarily organic and came from increased sales of services related to our CAMRA, SS&C Canada and AdvisorWare products totaling $0.7 million. Our acquisitions of OIS and Zoologic contributed $0.2 million in revenues, in the aggregate. Professional service revenues were $14.6 million and $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in professional services revenues was due in part to our acquisition of OIS, which accounted for $1.0 million of the increase. Organically, increases of $0.9 million and $0.7 million for services related to our SS&C Canada and LMS implementation services, respectively, and increases totaling $1.0 million for Mabel, CAMRA and AdvisorWare implementation services were offset by decreases totaling $0.7 million for Wealth Management and TradeThru product services. Also contributing to the increase were additional SS&C Canada, FundRunner and MarginMan revenues of $1.6 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, reflecting a full nine months of activity for these 2005 acquisitions, and $0.2 million as a result of adjusting our deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. 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 $27.3 million and $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in outsourcing revenues was due in part to our acquisition of Cogent, which contributed $1.2 million. Increased demand and the addition of new clients for our SS&C Fund Services, SS&C Canada and TradeThru outsourcing services contributed a total of $4.5 million of the increase. Outsourcing revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $79.5 million and $51.7 million, respectively. The increase was due in part to our acquisition of Cogent, which contributed $2.8 million, and additional SS&C Canada and SS&C Fund Services revenues of $10.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, reflecting a full nine months of activity from products and services from our acquisitions of FMC and EisnerFast in 2005. Organically, increases in SS&C Canada, SS&C Fund Services and SS&C Direct outsourcing revenues of $6.0 million, $4.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and an increase in TradeThru revenues of $2.0 million were partially offset by a decrease in Real-Time outsourcing revenues of $0.2 million. Outsourcing revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include an increase of $0.4 million as a result of adjusting our deferred revenue to fair value in connection with the Transaction. 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 $25.8 million and $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The total cost of revenues increase was mainly due to the increase of $1.1 million in costs associated with our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, additional costs of $0.2 million, representing a full quarter of activity for MarginMan, stock-based compensation expenses of $0.4 million and incremental amortization of $2.9 million related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction. The remainder of the increase was to support organic revenue growth. The total cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $73.6 million and $45.7 million, respectively. The total cost of revenues increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was mainly due to the increase of $2.7 million in costs associated with our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, additional costs of $7.5 million, $0.5 million, $0.8 million and $0.9 million, representing a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada, FundRunner, MarginMan and activity related to our acquisition of EisnerFast, which is now included in SS&C Fund Services. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expenses and $9.0 million of incremental amortization related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction. The remainder of the increase was to support organic revenue growth, and primarily related to additional compensation and data services costs within our outsourcing business.

Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software license revenues consists primarily of amortization expense of completed technology, royalties, third-party software, and the costs of product media, packaging and documentation. The cost of software license revenues was $2.3 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The cost of software license revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $6.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The increase in costs for both the three-month and nine-month periods was primarily due to incremental amortization of $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction and costs related to our acquisitions of Zoologic, OIS and MarginMan. Additionally, amortization in the nine-month period increased $0.4 million and $0.1 million, reflecting a full nine months of amortization for SS&C Canada and FundRunner, respectively.
Cost of Maintenance. Cost of maintenance revenues consists primarily of technical client support, costs associated with the distribution of products and regulatory updates and amortization of intangible assets. The cost of maintenance revenues was $5.2 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cost of maintenance revenues was primarily due to incremental amortization of $1.9 million related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction and our acquisitions of Zoologic and OIS, which added $0.1 million in costs. The cost of maintenance revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $15.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The increase in cost of maintenance revenues was due to incremental amortization of $5.8 million related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction, $0.1 million of additional costs associated with our acquisitions of Zoologic and OIS, and increased costs of $1.4 million, reflecting a full nine months of activity for our 2005 acquisitions of MarginMan, FundRunner and FMC. In addition, cost of maintenance revenues decreased $0.4 million, primarily related to a decrease in costs to manage our PTS business.
Cost of Professional Services. Cost of professional services revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized to provide implementation, conversion and training services to our software licensees, as well as system integration, custom programming and actuarial consulting services. The cost of professional services revenues was $3.1 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cost of professional services revenues was due to our acquisition of OIS, which added $0.3 million in costs, and increased personnel and facilities costs to support organic growth. The cost of professional services revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $9.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively. The increase in cost of professional services revenues was attributable to our acquisition of OIS, which added $0.9 million, and increased costs of $1.0 million and $0.2 million related to SS&C Canada and FundRunner, respectively, reflecting a full nine months of activity. The remainder of the increase was to support the growth in organic revenues and was primarily related to increased personnel costs.
Cost of Outsourcing. Cost of outsourcing revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized in servicing our outsourcing clients and amortization of intangible assets. The cost of outsourcing revenues was $15.2 million and $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in cost of outsourcing revenues was due in part to $0.8 million of additional costs attributable to our acquisition of Cogent. The remainder of the increase was to support the growth in organic revenue and was primarily related to increased personnel and data services costs. The cost of outsourcing revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $42.3 million and $28.8 million, respectively. The increase in cost of outsourcing revenues was due to $1.8 million of additional costs attributable to our acquisition of Cogent, increased costs of $5.2 million and $0.9 million reflecting a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada and activity from our acquisition of EisnerFast. The remainder of the increase was to support the growth in organic revenue and was primarily related to increased personnel and data services costs. Both the three-month and nine-month periods included $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $16.1 million and $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and our acquisitions Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, added $0.5 million in costs, offset by a reduction in personnel and other costs. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $44.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively. Included in 2006 operating expenses are additional operating costs of $1.2 million associated with our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, stock-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and an increase of $5.6 million reflecting a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada, FundRunner, MarginMan and activity related to our acquisition of EisnerFast, offset by cost reductions associated with businesses acquired in 2005.

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 amortization of intangible assets, the cost of branch sales offices, trade shows and marketing and promotional materials. Selling and marketing expenses were $4.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was attributable to our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, which added $0.2 million in costs, stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million and incremental amortization of $0.3 million related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction, offset by cost reductions associated with businesses acquired in 2005. Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $12.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily attributable to our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, which added $0.3 million in costs, stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million, incremental amortization of $0.8 million related to the re-valuation of intangible assets in connection with the Transaction and an increase of $1.6 million in costs reflecting a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada, MarginMan and FundRunner, offset by cost reductions associated with businesses acquired in 2005.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs attributable to the enhancement of existing products and the development of new software products. Research and development expenses were $6.1 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS added $0.3 million in costs, offset by a reduction in personnel and other costs. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $17.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively. The increase in research and development expenses was attributable to our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, which added $0.7 million in costs, stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and an increase of $2.8 million reflecting a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada, MarginMan and FundRunner, offset by cost reductions associated with businesses acquired in 2005.
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 $5.1 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million, capital-based taxes of $0.4 million and additional fees of $0.3 million related to post-Transaction management services provided by The Carlyle Group, offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $13.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due to stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million, capital-based taxes of $1.3 million, our acquisitions of Zoologic, Cogent and OIS, which added $0.1 million in costs, and increased costs of $1.3 million reflecting a full nine months of activity for SS&C Canada, FundRunner MarginMan and activity related to our acquisition of EisnerFast. Decreases in bad debt expense and communication costs were offset by an increase in personnel costs. Additionally, $0.8 million of the increase related to post-Transaction management services provided by The Carlyle Group.
Merger Costs Related to the Pending Sale of SS&C. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, we incurred $1.2 million in expenses for investment banking, legal and accounting services related to the acquisition of the company by The Carlyle Group.
Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on debt outstanding under our senior credit facility and 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013, incurred in connection with the Transaction. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had net interest expense of $12.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had net interest expense of $35.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Other (expense) income, net for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 consists primarily of foreign currency translation gains and losses. Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2005 consists primarily of foreign currency translation gains. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consists of foreign currency translation gains and net gains on the sale of marketable securities.
Provision for Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recorded a benefit of $3.3 million. This was partially due to a change in Canadian statutory tax rates enacted in June 2006, for which we recorded a benefit of approximately $1.2 million on our deferred tax assets, and foreign tax benefits of approximately $1.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we had an effective tax rate of 38.1%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal cash requirements are to finance the costs of our operations pending the billing and collection of client receivables, to invest in research and development, to acquire complementary businesses or assets and to fund payments with respect to our indebtedness. We expect our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and availability under the revolving credit portion of our senior credit facilities to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, including projected working capital requirements, capital spending and debt service for at least the next twelve months.
Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2006 were $10.6 million, which is a decrease of $5.0 million from $15.6 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to cash paid for our acquisitions of Zoologic and Cogent and net repayment of debt, offset by cash generated from operations.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to net income of $1.9 million adjusted for non-cash items of $12.0 million, a decrease of $8.2 million in income taxes receivable and increases of $3.7 million and $1.5 million in deferred maintenance and other revenues and income taxes payable. These items were partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Investing activities used net cash of $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash used by investing activities was due to the $14.6 million net cash paid for our acquisitions of Zoologic and Cogent and $2.9 million in capital expenditures. These items were partially offset by a $0.5 million reimbursement received from the escrow account established in connection with our acquisition of FI.
Financing activities used net cash of $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Cash used in financing activities was due to the $28.3 million repayment of debt, including $0.3 million of debt assumed in our acquisition of Cogent, offset by $13.4 million in new borrowings to partially finance the acquisition of Cogent and bond interest payments. The exercise of stock options provided $0.1 million in cash. Additionally, the Company sold 8,900 shares of common stock for proceeds of $0.7 million.
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.
The Transaction
On November 23, 2005, in connection with the Transaction, we (i) entered into a new $350 million credit facility, consisting of a $200 million term loan facility with SS&C Technologies, Inc. as the borrower, a $75 million-equivalent term loan facility with a Canadian subsidiary as the borrower ($17 million of which is denominated in US dollars and $58 million of which is denominated in Canadian dollars) and a $75 million revolving credit facility and (ii) issued $205 million aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes.
Senior Credit Facilities
Our borrowings under our senior credit facilities bear interest at either a floating base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. In addition, we pay a commitment fee in respect of unused revolving commitments at a rate that will be adjusted based on our leverage ratio. We are obligated to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan of $2.8 million per year. Subject to certain exceptions, thresholds and other limitations, we are required to prepay outstanding loans under our senior credit facilities with the net proceeds of certain asset dispositions, near-term tax refunds and certain debt issuances and 50% of our excess cash flow (as defined in the agreements governing our senior credit facilities), which percentage will be reduced based on our reaching certain leverage ratio thresholds.
The obligations under our senior credit facilities are guaranteed by all of our existing and future wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and by Sunshine Acquisition Corporation, which we also refer to as Holdings, with certain exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement. The obligations of the Canadian borrower are guaranteed by us, each of our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and Holdings, with certain exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement. Our obligations under our senior credit facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of our capital stock and all of the

20


Table of Contents

capital stock or other equity interests held by us, Holdings and each of our existing and future U.S. subsidiary guarantors (subject to certain limitations for equity interests of foreign subsidiaries and other exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement) and all of our and Holdings’ tangible and intangible assets and the tangible and intangible assets of each of our existing and future U.S. subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement. The Canadian borrower’s borrowings under our senior credit facilities and all guarantees thereof are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of our capital stock and all of the capital stock or other equity interests held by us, Holdings and each of our existing and future U.S. and Canadian subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement, and all of our and Holdings’ tangible and intangible assets and the tangible and intangible assets of each of our existing and future U.S. and Canadian subsidiary guarantors, with certain exceptions as set forth in our credit agreement.
The senior credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our (and most of our subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and distributions on capital stock, create liens on assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, repay subordinated indebtedness, make capital expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, dispose of assets and engage in mergers or acquisitions. In addition, under the senior credit facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2006.
11 3/4 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013
The 11 3/4% senior subordinated notes due 2013 are unsecured senior subordinated obligations that are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt, including the senior credit facilities. The senior subordinated notes will be pari passu in right of payment to all future senior subordinated debt.
The senior subordinated notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the indenture. In addition, upon a change of control, we are required to make an offer to redeem all of the senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The indenture governing the senior subordinated notes contains a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments, create liens, dispose of certain assets and engage in mergers or acquisitions.
Covenant Compliance
Under the senior credit facilities, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests. As of September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants. Our continued ability to meet these financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet these ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the senior credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the senior credit facilities, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.
Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP measure used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes and in our senior credit facilities. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude unusual items and other adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under the indenture and our senior credit facilities. We believe that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Consolidated EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance with our financing covenants.
The breach of covenants in our senior credit facilities that are tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA could result in a default under that agreement, in which case the lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any such acceleration would also result in a default under our indenture. Additionally, under our debt agreements, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments and paying dividends is also tied to ratios based on Consolidated EBITDA.
Consolidated EBITDA does not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While Consolidated EBITDA and similar measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service

21


Table of Contents

requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Consolidated EBITDA does not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we may consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, the definition of Consolidated EBITDA in the senior credit facilities allows us to add back certain non-cash, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income (loss). However, these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict. Further, our debt instruments require that Consolidated EBITDA be calculated for the most recent four fiscal quarters. As a result, the measure can be disproportionately affected by a particularly strong or weak quarter. Further, it may not be comparable to the measure for any subsequent four-quarter period or any complete fiscal year.
The following is a reconciliation of net income, which is a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Consolidated EBITDA as defined in our senior credit facilities.

(5)   Other includes management fees paid to The Carlyle Group.
Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:
                 
    Covenant   Actual
    Requirements   Ratios
Maximum consolidated total leverage to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio
    7.50x       5.65x  
Minimum Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest coverage ratio
    1.40x       2.14x  
Beginning with the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2006, our senior credit facilities require us to maintain a consolidated total leverage to Consolidated EBITDA ratio starting at a maximum of 7.50x and decreasing over time to 5.0x by the first quarter of 2010 and thereafter. Consolidated total leverage is defined in the senior secured credit facilities as the aggregate principal amount of all indebtedness, including capital lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents, up to a maximum of $30 million. We are also required to maintain a Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest coverage ratio starting at a minimum of 1.40x and increasing over time to 2.25x by the first quarter of 2010 and thereafter. Consolidated net interest coverage is defined in the senior credit facilities as total cash interest expense for such period

22

related to outstanding indebtedness, less total cash interest income for such period. Failure to satisfy these ratios would constitute a default under the senior credit facilities. If our lenders fail to waive any such default, our repayment obligations under the senior credit facilities could be accelerated, which would also constitute a default under our indentures.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have invested our available cash in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, having initial maturities of three months or less. When necessary we have borrowed to fund acquisitions.
At September 30, 2006, we had total debt of $476.4 million, including $271.4 million of variable rate debt. We have entered into three interest rate swap agreements which fixed the interest rates for $202.7 million of our variable rate debt. Two of our swap agreements are denominated in U.S. dollars and have notional values of $100 million and $50 million, effectively fix our interest rates at 7.28% and 7.21%, respectively, and expire in December 2010 and December 2008, respectively. Our third swap agreement is denominated in Canadian dollars and has a notional value equivalent to approximately $52.7 million U.S. dollars. The Canadian swap effectively fixes our interest rate at 6.679% and expires in December 2008. During the period when all three of our swap agreements are effective, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $0.8 million per year. Upon the expiration of the two interest rate swap agreements in December 2008 and the third interest rate swap agreement in December 2010, a 1% change in interest rates would result in a change in interest of approximately $1.8 million and $2.8 million per year, respectively.
At September 30, 2006, $56.0 million of our debt was denominated in Canadian dollars. We expect that our foreign denominated debt will be serviced through our local operations.
During 2005, approximately 37% of our revenue was from customers located outside the United States. A portion of the revenue from customers located outside the United States is denominated in foreign currencies, the majority being the Canadian dollar. Revenues and expenses of our foreign operations are denominated in their respective local currencies. We continue to monitor our exposure to foreign exchange rates as a result of our foreign currency denominated debt, our acquisitions and changes in our operations.
The foregoing risk management discussion and the effect thereof are forward-looking statements. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by us to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events or losses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2006, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In connection with the definitive merger agreement that we signed on July 28, 2005 to be acquired by a corporation affiliated with The Carlyle Group, two purported class action lawsuits were filed against us, each of our directors and, with respect to the first matter described below, Sunshine Acquisition Corporation, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, in and for New Castle County.
The first lawsuit is Paulena Partners, LLC v. SS&C Technologies, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 1525-N (filed July 28, 2005). The complaint purports to state claims for breach of fiduciary duty against all of our directors at the time of filing of the lawsuit. The complaint alleges, among other things, that (1) the merger will benefit our management at the expense of our public stockholders, (2) the merger consideration to be paid to stockholders is inadequate and does not represent the best price available in the marketplace for us and (3) the directors breached their fiduciary duties to our stockholders in negotiating and approving the merger. The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger (or rescinding the merger if it is completed prior to the receipt of such relief), compensatory and/or rescissory damages to the class and attorneys’ fees and expenses, along with such other relief as the court might find just and proper.
The second lawsuit is Stephen Landen v. SS&C Technologies, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 1541-N (filed August 3, 2005). The complaint purports to state claims for breach of fiduciary duty against all of our directors at the time of filing of the lawsuit. The complaint alleges, among other things, that (1) the merger will benefit Mr. Stone and Carlyle at the expense of our public stockholders, (2) the merger consideration to be paid to stockholders is unfair and that the process by which the merger was approved was unfair and (3) the directors breached their fiduciary duties to our stockholders in negotiating and approving the merger. The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification of the lawsuit, an injunction preventing the consummation of the merger (or rescinding the merger if it is completed prior to the receipt of such relief), compensatory and/or rescissory damages to the class and costs and disbursements of the lawsuit, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees, along with such other relief as the court might find just and proper.
The two lawsuits were consolidated by order dated August 31, 2005. On October 18, 2005, the parties to the consolidated lawsuit entered into a memorandum of understanding, pursuant to which we agreed to make certain additional disclosures to our stockholders in connection with their approval of the merger. The memorandum of understanding also contemplated that the parties would enter into a settlement agreement, which the parties executed on July 6, 2006. The settlement agreement is subject to customary conditions, including court approval following notice to the stockholders of SS&C. The court held a hearing on September 13, 2006, after which the court requested supplemental briefing as to the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement. Parties submitted such supplemental briefing on September 27, 2006. The proposed settlement, if finally approved by the court, will resolve all the claims that were or could have been brought in the action that is being settled, including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made in connection therewith. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the plaintiffs’ counsel plan to petition the court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid by SS&C or its successors in interest. The plaintiffs are currently seeking the award of attorneys’ fees in the amount of $350,000, and the defendants have agreed not to oppose the award of such fees by the court.
