Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing activities: As more fully described in Note 4, effective March 11, 1999, SS&C Technologies, Inc. purchased all the outstanding stock of HedgeWare, Inc. for 685,683 shares of the Company's common stock. See accompanying notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 4 6 SS&C TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Presentation In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its operations for the three months and six-months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete 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, 1999 which were included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000. The December 31, 1999 consolidated balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but the December 1999 consolidated balance sheet does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results of operations for the full year. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are comprised of stock options using the treasury stock method. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computations of earnings per share if the effect of including such common equivalent shares is antidilutive. Outstanding options to purchase 3.2 million and 3.0 million shares at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including such options would be antidilutive. Income available to stockholders is the same for basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the shares outstanding is as follows (in thousands):

Comprehensive Income Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130") 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. The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive income (in thousands):

5 7 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 100. Restructuring and Impairment Charges ("SAB 100"). In December 1999, the SEC issued SAB No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB 101"). SAB No. 100 expresses views of the SEC staff regarding the accounting for and disclosure of certain expenses not commonly reported in connection with exit activities and business combinations. The Company does not expect the provisions of SAB No. 100 to have a material impact on its financial statements. SAB No. 101 expresses the views of the SEC staff in applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain revenue recognition issues. The Company does not expect the provisions of SAB No. 101 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 clarifies the following: the definition of an employee for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a non-compensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, however, for certain transactions the guidance is effective after December 15, 1998 and January 12, 2000. In June 2000, SAB 101B was issued by the SEC delaying the implementation date of SAB 101 to the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to be comparable with the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications have had no effect on net income, working capital or net equity. 2. Related Party Transactions: Aegon USA Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Aegon") is the parent company of QSC Holding Inc. (formerly known as Quantra Corporation), which sold substantially all of its assets to the Company in March 1998. David L. Blankenship, the president of Aegon also relinquished his seat on the board of directors of the Company as of May 23, 2000. During the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 Aegon purchased a license for certain of the Company's products for $1.68 million. This amount was paid in full during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. 3. Commitments and Contingencies: On May 7, 1999, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement for the settlement of the consolidated securities class action lawsuit pending against the Company. The settlement provided that all claims against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and underwriters would be dismissed. Under the terms of the settlement, in exchange for the dismissal and release of all claims, the Company paid to the class $7.5 million in cash, together with shares of Common Stock of the Company valued at $1.3 million. The Company recorded a charge for the settlement of approximately $9.3 million, including legal fees, in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of its business. The Company is not a party to any other litigation that management believes could have a material effect on the Company or its business. 4. Acquisitions: On March 11, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of HedgeWare, Inc. ("HedgeWare"), a provider of portfolio, financial, partnership and tax accounting software and service support to hedge fund managers and traders, in exchange for 685,683 shares of Common Stock of the Company in a business combination accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the financial statements for all periods prior to the combination have been restated to reflect the combined operations. In connection with the acquisition, the Company, HedgeWare and the former stockholders of HedgeWare entered into an escrow agreement providing, among other things, that 89,139 shares of Common Stock were initially held in escrow to reimburse the Company in connection with breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, if any, as well as potential rental obligations and sales tax liabilities of HedgeWare. In accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, on April 12, 2000, 61,506 of the 89,139 shares of common stock were released from escrow. Currently, 27,633 shares of common stock remain in escrow pursuant to the escrow agreement. 6 8 HedgeWare had elected to be treated as a Subchapter S Corporation for income tax purposes and, as such, income taxes are provided beginning March 11, 1999 for HedgeWare's results of operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company issued stock valued at $3.1 million in satisfaction of certain HedgeWare's stockholder and employee-related accrued expenses that existed as of the effective date of the acquisition. All periods prior to March 11, 1999 have been restated to reflect the acquisition of HedgeWare, as a pooling-of-interests acquisition. On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of The Brookside Corporation (Brookside). Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Brookside held by its sole stockholder were exchanged for 27,600 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 include the results of operations of Brookside from the beginning of the quarter. The consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated since the impact of such restatement would not be material. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2000 and 1999 Revenues The Company's revenues are derived from software licenses, related maintenance and professional services and outsourcing services provided by SS&C Direct. Revenues for the three-months ended June 30, 2000 were $15.4 million, representing a decrease of 7% from $16.6 million in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease of $1.2 million was attributable to a decrease in professional services and license revenue, which was partially offset by, increases in outsourcing and maintenance revenues. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $30.5 million, a decrease of 15% from $36.1 million in the same period in 1999. The decrease of $5.5 million was attributable to a decrease in license and professional service revenues which was partially offset by increases in outsourcing and maintenance revenues. Software License Revenues. Software license revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $4.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, representing decreases of 7% and 34% from the $4.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year. The decrease in the license revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was primarily the result of lower sales of AdvisorWare 2000 which was partially offset by increases in sales of Antares 2000 and Skyline for Windows. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was mainly due to lower revenue for CAMRA 2000, AdvisorWare 2000 and LMS 2000 which was partially offset by increase in sales of Antares 2000 and Skyline for Windows. Maintenance and Other Recurring Revenues. Maintenance and other recurring revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $6.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, representing increases of 3% and 8% over the $6.4 million and $12.2 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year. The increase in both periods was primarily due to growth in the Company's installed base of CAMRA 2000 clients requiring maintenance services. Professional Services Revenues. Professional services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $3.3 million and $6.7 million, respectively, representing decreases of 39% and 34% from the $5.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year. Demand for the Company's implementation, conversion and training services has decreased primarily due to the decrease in sales of the Company's software products which require such services. The professional services revenues will continue to be affected by the overall license revenue levels. Outsourcing Services Revenues. Outsourcing services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, representing increases of 172% and 81% over the $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year. The increase is due primarily to greater market demand for the company's outsourcing services. Cost of Revenues Total cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 were $5.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, representing decreases of 21% and 14%, respectively, from the $7.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, in the comparable periods of the prior year. The gross margin increased to 62% in the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 55% in the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the license revenue margins. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the gross margin was 61%, comparable to the prior year period. 7 9 Cost of Software Licenses. Cost of software license revenues relates primarily to royalties, the costs of product media, packaging, documentation and labor involved in the distribution of the Company's software and the amortization of completed technology. The cost of software licenses decreased 76% from $1.1 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 to $0.3 million for the same period in 2000, representing 25% and 6% of license revenues in each of those quarters, respectively. Cost of software licenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 were $2.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively and represented 17% and 6% of license revenues in each of those periods, respectively. The decreases in costs, for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, were due primarily to the reduction in amortization for completed technology. The completed technology amortization, which was related to the Quantra acquisition, was ended in the fourth quarter of 1999. Cost of Maintenance and Other Recurring Revenues. Cost of maintenance and other recurring revenues consists primarily of technical customer support and development costs associated with product and regulatory updates. The cost of maintenance and other recurring revenue increased from $1.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000. The cost of maintenance and other recurring revenues increased from $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. The cost of maintenance and other recurring revenues remained relatively constant as a percentage of such revenues for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. 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 the Company's software licensees, as well as custom programming, system integration and actuarial consulting services. The cost of professional service revenues decreased 41% from $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.3 million for the same period in 2000, representing 72% and 69% of professional service revenues in each of those quarters, respectively. Cost of professional services revenue in the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 were $7.2 million and $5.1 million respectively, and represented 71% and 76% of professional services revenues in each of those periods, respectively. The dollar decrease in the cost of professional services was primarily attributable to lower personnel related and travel costs due to the corresponding decrease in implementation and conversion services. Cost of Outsourcing Services. Cost of outsourcing services revenues consists primarily of the cost related to personnel utilized in servicing our outsourcing clients. The cost of outsourcing revenues increased 84% from $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.7 million for the same period in 2000, representing 168% and 113% of outsourcing revenues in each of those quarters, respectively. Cost of outsourcing in the six-month period ended June 30,1999 and 2000 was $1.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, representing 123% and 126% of outsourcing revenues in each of those periods, respectively. The dollar increase in the cost of outsourcing services is due to the expansion of the Company's outsourcing resources, including personnel and infrastructure costs. The Company expects that the outsourcing costs as a percentage of the outsourcing revenue will continue to be high as the company invests substantial resources in this area. Operating Expenses Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of the cost of personnel associated with the selling and marketing of the Company's products, including salaries, commissions, and travel and entertainment. Such expenses also include the cost of branch sales offices, advertising, trade shows, marketing and promotional materials. Selling and marketing expenses decreased 37% from $4.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 28% and 19%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods. These expenses decreased 30% from $9.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $6.5 million in the same period in 2000, representing 26% and 21%, respectively, of total revenue for those periods. The quarter and year-to-date dollar decrease are largely attributable to lower personnel related costs due to a reduction of personnel and reduced spending in advertising, promotional and marketing costs. Research and Development Expenses. 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 decreased 25% from $5.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 30% and 24%, respectively, of those revenues for those periods. These expenses decreased 17% from $9.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $7.8 million in the same period in 2000, representing 26% and 26%, respectively, of total revenue for those periods. The quarter and year-to-date dollar decrease was mainly due to lower personnel related costs due to a reduction in research and development employees. The Company believes that due to the sophistication of its products, research and development spending should remain at approximately these levels as a percentage of revenue. 8 10 General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs related to management, accounting, information technology, human resources and administration and associated overhead costs, as well as fees for professional services. General and administrative expenses decreased 21% from $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2000, representing 21% and 18%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods. These expenses decreased 13% from $6.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.4 million in the same period in 2000, representing 17% and 18%, respectively, of total revenues for those periods. The quarter and year-to-date dollar decreases are due mainly to lower bad debt expenses which are partially offset by higher professional services costs. Litigation Settlement Costs. In the three-month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded a $9.3 million charge for the settlement of a consolidated securities class action lawsuit. Interest and Other Income Net. Interest and other income, net consist primarily of interest income and other non-operational income and expenses. Interest income, net increased 31% from $530,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $692,000 in the same period in 2000. Interest, net increase 19% from $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.3 million in the same period in 2000. The dollar increase was due to the Company purchasing taxable investments, which have a higher expected yield. Included in other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was a non-operational gain of $482,000 resulting from the sale of Caminus common stock in the first quarter of 2000. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company had an effective tax rate of 29% in the six-month period ending June 30, 2000. Excluding the one-time litigation expense, the effective tax rate was 25% in the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 2000 were $57.4 million compared with $50.3 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in marketable securities during the six months ended June 30, 2000 includes an unrealized gain of $4.5 million. Cash provided by operations was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to earnings, depreciation and amortization and an increase in deferred revenues partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued expenses. Investing activities used cash of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash used in investing activities was primarily due to additions to property and equipment of $1.2 million, a net purchase of marketable securities of $6.5 million and a loan of $1.0 million to WealthMetrics.com, Inc. Financing activities provided cash of $105 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Cash provided in financing activities was primarily due to the issuance of Common Stock under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan which was partially offset by the purchase of 47,000 of the Company's common stock for treasury. The Company believes that its current cash balances and net cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS Fluctuations in Quarterly Performance. Historically, the Company's revenues and operating results have varied substantially from quarter to quarter. The Company's quarterly operating results may continue to fluctuate due to a number of factors, including the timing, size and nature of the Company's individual license transactions; the timing of the introduction and the market acceptance of new products or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors; the relative proportions of revenues derived from license fees, maintenance, consulting, and other recurring revenues and professional services; changes in the Company's operating expenses; personnel changes; and fluctuations in economic and financial market conditions. The timing, size, and nature of individual license transactions are important factors in the Company's quarterly operating results. Many such license transactions involve large dollar amounts, and the sales cycles for these transactions are often lengthy and unpredictable. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in closing large license transactions on a timely basis or at all. Dependence on the Financial Services Industry. The Company's 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, because of the capital expenditures required in connection with an investment in the Company's products, the Company believes that 9 11 for its products could be disproportionately affected by 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. Any resulting decline in demand for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Business Model Change. The Company is in the process of modifying its business model from one based on license fees derived from licensing proprietary software to a business model based on both licensing its software and transaction fees for the use of SS&C Direct outsourcing services. Due to this change in the business model, the Company's revenues will increasingly depend on its ability to attract customers to SS&C Direct and on the number and volume of uses of the Company's outsourcing services. The number of users and the volume of their activity are largely outside of the Company's control. Thus, the Company's past operating results may not be a meaningful indicator of its future performance. Product Concentration. To date, substantially all of the Company's revenues have been attributable to the licensing of its CAMRA 2000, AdvisorWare 2000, Total Return 2000, LMS 2000, and SKYLINE software and the provision of maintenance and consulting services in support of such software. The Company expects that the licensing of CAMRA 2000, AdvisorWare 2000, Total Return 2000, LMS 2000, SKYLINE, and Antares 2000 software products will continue to account for a significant portion of its 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 the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Management of Growth. The Company's business has grown significantly in size and complexity over the past several years. The growth in the size and complexity of the Company's business as well as its client base has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant strain on the Company's management and operations. The Company's ability to compete effectively and to manage future growth, if any, will depend on its ability to continue to implement and improve operational, financial and management information systems on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate and manage its work force. There can be no assurance that the Company's personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the Company's operations. If the Company's management is unable to manage growth effectively, the quality of the Company's products and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Competition. The market for financial service software is competitive, rapidly evolving and highly sensitive to new product introductions and marketing efforts by industry participants. Although the Company believes that none of its competitors currently competes against the Company in all of the markets served by the Company, there can be no assurance that such competitors will not compete against the Company in the future in additional markets. In addition, many of the Company's current and potential future competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, generate higher revenues and greater name recognition than the Company. Rapid Technological Change. The market for the Company's products and services is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and new product introductions. The Company's future success will depend in part upon its ability to enhance its existing products and services and to develop and introduce new products and services to meet changing client requirements. The process of developing software products such as those offered by the Company is extremely complex and is expected to become increasingly complex and expensive in the future due to the introduction of new platforms and technologies. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete the development of new products in a timely fashion or that the Company's current or future products will satisfy the needs of the financial markets. Dependence on Database Supplier. The relational database design used in many of the Company's software products incorporates PFXplus, a "C"-based database management system licensed to the Company by POWERflex Corporation Proprietary Limited, an Australian vendor ("Powerflex"). If Powerflex were to increase its fees under the license agreement, the Company's results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, if Powerflex were to terminate the license agreement, the Company would have to seek an alternative relational database for its software products. While the Company believes that it could migrate its products to an alternative database, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to license in a timely fashion a database with similar features and on terms acceptable to the Company. Dependence on Proprietary Technology. The Company's success and ability to compete is dependent in part upon its ability to protect its proprietary technology. The Company relies on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and trademark law, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures to protect its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its proprietary technology will be adequate to prevent misappropriation or independent third-party development of such technology. Product Defects and Product Liability. The Company's software products are highly complex and sophisticated and could, from time to time, contain design defects or software errors that are difficult to detect and correct. Errors, bugs or viruses may result in loss of or delay in market acceptance of the Company's software products or loss of client data. Although the Company has 10 12 not experienced material adverse effects resulting from any software defects or errors, there can be no assurance that, despite testing by the Company and its 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 the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. Key Personnel. The Company's success is dependent in part upon its ability to attract, train and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, and sales personnel. The loss of services of one or more of the Company's key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Over the last 12 months, three senior vice presidents terminated their employment with the Company. The Company continues to hire a significant number of additional sales, service and technical personnel. Competition for the hiring of such personnel in the software industry is intense. Locating candidates with the appropriate qualifications, particularly in the desired geographic location, is difficult. Although the Company expects to continue to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly skilled employees for the foreseeable future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Risks Associated with International Operations. The Company intends to continue to expand its international sales activity as part of its business strategy. To accomplish such continued expansion, the Company must establish additional foreign operations and hire additional personnel requiring significant management attention and financial resources that could materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could make the Company's products more expensive and, therefore, potentially less competitive in those foreign markets. A portion of the Company's international sales is denominated in foreign currency. The Company occasionally hedges some of the risk associated with foreign exchange fluctuations; however, significant fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies could have a material adverse effect on the earnings of the Company. In addition, the Company's international business may be subject to a variety of other risks, including difficulties in obtaining U.S. export licenses, potentially longer payment cycles, increased costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts, the introduction of non-tariff barriers and higher duty rates and difficulties in enforcement of third-party contractual obligations and intellectual property rights. There can be no assurance that such factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. Because of these and other factors, past financial performance should not be considered an indication of future performance. The Company's quarterly operating results may vary significantly, depending on factors such as the timing, size, and nature of licensing transactions and new product introductions by the Company or its competitors. Investors should not use historical trends to anticipate future results and should be aware that the trading price of the Company's common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results and other factors, including those discussed above. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company generally places its marketable security investments in high credit quality instruments, such as U.S. Government and Federal Agency obligations, tax-exempt municipal obligations and corporate obligations. The Company does not expect any material loss from its marketable security investments and therefore believes that its potential interest rate exposure is not material. From time to time, the Company purchases forward contracts to attempt to minimize the impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on its international sales transactions. The Company invoices customers primarily in U.S. dollars and in local currency in those countries in which the Company has branch and subsidiary operations. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations from when customers are invoiced in local currency until collection occurs. Through June 30, 2000, foreign currency fluctuations have not had a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operation, and therefore the Company believes that its 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 unforeseen developments in global financial markets. The analytical methods used by the Company to assess and minimize risk discussed above should not be considered projections of future events or losses. 11 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2.
