                           FDP Corp. and Subsidiaries

                    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statments

                                Febraury 28, 1998
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE A

In the opinion of management of FDP Corp. (the "Company"), the accompanying
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and the
statement of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10K.

The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

NOTE B

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $.0125 per share,
payable March 13, 1998, to shareholders of record on February 26, 1998.

NOTE C

Effective December 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per share" ("FAS 128") which replaces the
presentation of primary earnings per share with basic earnings per share and
which requires dual representation of basic and diluted earnings per share on
the Consolidated Statements of Operations. FAS 128 requires restatement of all
prior-period earnings per share data presented. Basic net earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period, and diluted net earnings per share
includes the effect of unexercised stock options and warrants using the treasury
stock method assumes that common stock was purchased at the average market price
during the period.

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

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues reflect the Company's ability to develop new computer software
products, or enhance existing ones, then successfully market its software and
related services. Several factors influence the Company's results of operations
including advances in computer technology and changes in governmental
regulations. The Company's business is not seasonal even though quarterly
revenues and net earnings may vary. The variation is primarily due to uncertain
timing of customers' decisions, over which the Company has little control,
regarding the purchase of software systems and computer hardware.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the quarter ended February 28, 1998, revenues increased 27% to $9,190,000 as
compared to $7,262,000 for the same period last year. Operating profit for the
first quarter was up 71% to $837,000 as compared to $490,000 for the prior year.
Net earnings for the first quarter increased 38% to $729,000 or $.12 per diluted
share ($.12 per share basic) versus $529,000 or $.09 per diluted share ($.10 per
basic share) a year ago.

The Company reports its revenues by two categories, Software and Information
Services.

SOFTWARE REVENUE:

Total software related revenue which includes software licenses, maintenance,
service revenue (time and materials) and other for the three months ended
February 28, 1998 increased by 31%. The increase in software revenues for the

PARTNER divsions.

Revenues for HOME OFFICE SYSTEMS, which includes FDP/COMPASS and FDP/CLAS, for
the three months ended February 28, 1998 were up 65%. Revenues for FDP/COMPASS,
the Company's group pension administration system increased 66% due to revenues
derived from a new contract with the second largerst insurance company in South
Africa. Revenues for FDP/CLAS, the Company's life insurance administration
system, grew 62% as a result of a new contract executed with a Netherlands based
insurance company. Revenues in AGENCY PARTNER, which includes the products
Contact Partner(TM), FDP/XL and FINPACK, for the three months ended February
28,1998 were down slightly as compared to last year. PENSION PARTNER revenues

INFORMATION SERVICES REVENUE:

Total information services revenue for the three months ended February 28, 1998
decreased by 22% as compared to the same period last year. Information service
revenue for Pension Partner and Agency Partner has been on a downward trend as
customers that access the various software programs on a time-sharing basis are
purchasing the products for use on personal computers. Information service
revenue for FDP/CLAS also decreased for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 as
compared to the same period last year. Information service revenue as a
percentage of total revenues continues to decline as software revenues have
increased.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

The Company's total cost of sales and services for the quarter ended February
28, 1998 was $8,353,000 as compared to $6,772,000 for the same period last year,
representing an increase of 23%. Most of the increase was related to higher
personnel related costs for the Company mainly concentrated in the FDP/COMPASS
division.

For the quarter ended February 28, 1998, costs related to product development,
maintenance and enhancements for software have increased whereas costs for
information services have decreased. This change reflects the continuing trend
of the shifting of the Company resources away from information services, a
decreasing revenue base, to software product development, a growing revenue
base.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended February 28,
1998 were $1,298,000 as compared to $1,116,000 for the same period last year
representing an increase of 16%. Most of the increase is due to higher selling
related expenses.

INTEREST INCOME:

Interest earned primarily on the Company's portfolio of U.S. Treasury Bills and
Notes for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 was $291,000 as compared to
$289,000 for the same period last year. The average interest earning rate for
the first quarter of 1998 was 5.87% as compared to 5.85% for the same period
last year. (See Financial Condition)

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES:

The Company's effective income tax rate was 35% for the quarters ended February
28, 1998 and 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company continues to maintain a highly liquid and virtually debt free
balance sheet. As of February 28, 1998 and November 30, 1997 cash and marketable
securities were $18,372,000 and $19,831,000, representing 52% and 60% of total
assets for the respective periods. The decrease in cash flow from operating
activities for February 28, 1998 as compared to the same period last year was
mainly the result of a temporary increase in accounts receivable.

Other than planned purchases of equipment, no other significant capital
expenditures are anticipated for the remainder of fiscal 1998. Management of the
Company continues to believe that existing working capital and funds generated
by operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated capital needs
in connection with its present and proposed activities.
