                         Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
NCS Financial Systems, Inc.
  and NCS-IPB S.A.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of NCS Financial
Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. as of January 31, 1996, and the related combined
statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of NCS Financial Systems,
Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. at January 31, 1996, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Accounting Policies

Description of Business

NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. design, develop and market asset
management software, primarily for bank trust departments. This includes systems
for personal trust asset management for individuals and corporate trust
applications such as stock and bond transfer systems.

Basis of Presentation

The 1995 financial statements are presented on a combined basis and include the
accounts of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A. (combined, the
"Company"), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of National Computer Systems,
Inc. ("NCS"). Upon combination, all significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated. All numbers shown are in thousands, unless
otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates

The combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Those assumptions and estimates are
subject to constant revision, and actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

All investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which
approximates fair market value.


                                                                              6

              Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method
for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax
purposes. Significant improvements are capitalized to property, plant and
equipment accounts, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Rental
income from equipment held for lease is recognized as earned using the operating
method of accounting for such leases. Depreciation is based on the assets'
estimated useful lives ranging from two to forty years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from software product sales, fixed fee software licensing and support,
and hardware maintenance is recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of
Position 91-1, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue from product sales and
software licensing is recognized at the time of shipment, except in instances
where material fulfillment obligations exist beyond shipment. In such cases,
revenue is not recognized until such obligations are substantially fulfilled or
is recognized in accordance with specific contract terms. Hardware maintenance
and software support revenues are recognized ratably over the contractual
period. Revenue from other services is recognized when such service is
performed. In addition, the Company periodically sells the contracts resulting
from software licensing agreements and hardware leases to third-party finance
companies.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires
impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present. The Company will be subject to SFAS No.
121 in the quarter ending April 30, 1996 and, based on current estimates and
assumptions, believes the effect of adoption will not be material.


                                                                              7

Allocated Expenses

The Company has certain expenses reflected in its financial statements which
have been allocated from National Computer Systems, Inc. These expenses include
employee benefits and computer systems charges, and are allocated based on gross
payroll and computer usage, respectively. Management believes that the
allocation method used is reasonable, and approximates the actual costs that
would have been incurred if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated entity.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of the
management of the Company, these financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for the 
six-month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1996.




2. Acquired and Internally Developed Software Products

Acquired software product amounts originate from the allocation of purchase
prices of acquired companies and direct acquisition of software or rights of
software. These products are generally large, complex, mission-critical
application software packages with established market positions. Products in
this category are generally assigned lives of five years. Internally developed
software products represent costs capitalized in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86. Accordingly, software production costs
incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, as defined, are
capitalized. Amortization of these products is computed on a product-by-product
basis ratably as a percentage of estimated revenue, subject to minimum straight-
line amortization over the products' estimated useful lives of two to five
years. Expected revenues and useful lives are estimates which are subject to
changes in technology and marketplace requirements and are, therefore, subject
to revision. The Company periodically evaluates its software products for
impairment by comparison of the carrying value of the product against
anticipated product margins. The carrying value is adjusted, if necessary.


                                                                               8

</TABLE>
3. Recourse Liability

The Company periodically sells certain hardware leases and software licensing
agreements to a finance company, which may include recourse provisions to the
Company. As of January 31, 1996, the Company's maximum recourse liability was
$1,850.

4. Leases

The Company leases office facilities under noncancelable operating leases which
expire in various years through 2001. Rental expense for all operating leases
was $2,151. Future minimum rental expense as of January 31, 1996, for
noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one
year is $4,881 and is payable in the years ending January 31, as follow: 1997--
$1,644; fiscal 1998--$1,511; fiscal 1999--$729; fiscal 2000--$465; fiscal 2001--

5. Credit Arrangements

The Company has an $825 unsecured revolving credit facility that terminates on
October 31, 1996. Interest on debt outstanding under this facility is fixed
monthly as a function of market conditions, based on the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) in relation to the Swiss Franc. On January 31, 1996, the
interest rate was at 3.31%, which is approximately 1.50% above LIBOR. The
revolving credit facility is guaranteed by NCS.

The Company also has a $990 unsecured revolving credit facility with an open
ended termination date. Interest on debt outstanding under this credit facility
is 6.25%. The revolving credit facility allows the bank, on behalf of the
Company, to issue letters of credit against the facility. The letters of credit
reduce the available borrowings of the facility. As of January 31, 1996, letters
of credit totaling $206 had been issued. The revolving credit facility is
guaranteed by NCS.

6. Income Taxes

The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

8. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair
values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
Those techniques are significantly affected by the estimates and assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.

At January 31, 1996, the carrying value of the Company's financial investments
approximated their fair value at that date.

     Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income assume that the
acquisition of NCS Financial Systems, Inc. and NCS-IPB S.A.
(collectively,"NCSF") had occurred on January 1, 1995, combining the results of
SunGard Data Systems Inc. ("SunGard" or the "Company") and NCSF for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1995.   The
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996
reflects the acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 1996.  The pro forma
information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and
NCSF after giving effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of
accounting and assumptions and adjustments considered appropriate by the
Company, certain of which are described in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.  The pro forma information
is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations or financial condition that actually would have been
obtained if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated or of the
results that may be obtained in the future.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related
notes thereto of SunGard and NCSF. The historical financial statements of NCSF
and the related notes thereto are included herein.   The historical financial
statements of SunGard and the related notes thereto have been previously filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are available from SunGard
upon written request.

     Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information



(1) Adjusted to reflect two-for-one stock split which occurred in July 1995.

(2) The NCS Financial Systems, Inc. (NCSF) fiscal year ends on January 31, 1996;
    therefore, the combined statement of income for NCSF is for the period
    February 1, 1995 through January 31, 1996.

(3) The Company has engaged a nationally recognized, independent appraisal firm
    to express an opinion on the fair market value of the assets acquired to
    serve as the basis for allocation of the purchase price to the various
    classes of assets acquired. This appraisal is not yet completed; therefore,
    the allocation and resulting purchase price amortization included in these
    pro forma financial statements are preliminary estimates and are subject to
    change. The Company expects to record a one-time charge of approximately
    $37.0 million (approximately $22.0 million net of income tax benefit),
    representing that portion of the purchase price related to acquired in-
    process research and development. Acquired in-process research and
    development represents the value of software products still in development
    and not considered to have reached technological feasibility as of the date
    of acquisition. This one-time charge is not included in the pro forma income
    statement since this charge is non-recurring in nature, directly
    attributable to the acquisition, and will be charged to operations by the
    Company in the third quarter of 1996.

(4) Estimated increase in amortization of intangible assets resulting from the
    purchase of NCSF.

(5) Estimated reduction in interest income resulting from the use of $95.0
    million cash to acquire NCSF.

(6) Assumed income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments, using an effective
    income tax rate of 40.5%.

(7) Represents cash purchase price of $95.0 million.

(8) Estimated adjustments to fair market value.

(9) Estimated costs associated with commitments for excess NCSF facilities,
    reduction of NCSF employee workforce, costs directly associated with the
    acquisition, and other items.

(10)Estimated obligations associated with future work to be performed in
    connection with contractual commitments.

(11)Estimated tax effect of differences between book and tax basis of assets
    acquired and liablilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

(12)Includes estimated acquired in-process research and development, net of
    estimated income tax benefit (see 3 above).
