             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
1.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
    financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
    of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
    and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
    complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
    (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
    presentation have been included. Operating results for the six and three
    month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
    results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For
    further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
    footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
    the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
2.  On July 10, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of NCS Financial
    Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of National Computer Systems, Inc., for a cash
    payment of $95.0 million, of which $5.0 million was paid before June 30,
    1996.
 
    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 of allocation of the purchase price to the various
    classes of assets acquired. While this appraisal has not yet been completed,
    the Company expects to record a charge against third quarter 1996 earnings
    for 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.
 
    On April 26, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of the disaster
    recovery business of Digital Equipment Corporation. The acquisition
    consisted primarily of contract rights, computer equipment and a
    non-competition agreement. The acquisition is not expected to have a
    material effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of the
    Company.
 
3.  Fully diluted net income per common share was calculated using the
    weighted-average number of common shares and common-equivalent shares
    outstanding during the period. Common-equivalent shares are principally
    attributable to unexercised stock options.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Statements about the Company's expectations and all other statements in
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q other than historical facts are
forward-looking statements.  Since these statements involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change at any time, the Company's actual
results could differ materially from expected results.  The Company derives most
of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts,
which are based upon many detailed assumptions.  While the Company believes that
its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties
in predicting certain important factors, especially the timing and magnitude of
software sales, the timing and magnitude of technological advances, the
performance of recently acquired businesses, the prospects for future
acquisitions, and the overall condition of the financial services industry.
These factors, as and when applicable, are discussed in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Form
10-K, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company without charge.
 
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS:
 
     Investment Support Systems (ISS):
 
     The Company's ISS business is comprised of more than twenty operating units
of various sizes and complexities.  Historically, most operating units have met
or exceeded expectations, while some have not, yielding overall results for the
entire business at approximately the levels expected. Since overall ISS results
reflect the sum of the diverse results of individual operating units, there
could be an adverse impact on ISS revenues and margins if too many individual
units are unable to meet expectations.
 
     The ISS operating margin was 16.6% and 16.4% for the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 1996.  The Company expects that the full-year 1996
operating margin will be between 16% and 17%, consistent with the full-year ISS
operating margins for the last three years.  The most important factors
affecting the ISS operating margin continue to be the timing and magnitude of
software sales, the performance of recently acquired businesses and the level of
spending on product development.
 
     Disaster Recovery Services (DRS):
 
     The DRS operating margin increased during the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods in 1995, due primarily
to an increase in revenues and the timing and magnitude of equipment
expenditures.  The Company expects the timing and magnitude of expenditures for
equipment and facilities upgrades to be spread throughout 1996, compared with
1995, when such expenditures were more heavily concentrated during the first
half of the year.
 
     The Company expects that the full-year 1996 DRS operating margin will
remain the same as in 1995.  The most important factors affecting the DRS
operating margin continue to be the rate of new contract signings, contract
renewals, and timing and magnitude of equipment and facilities expenditures, as
well as the level of acquisition activity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
        (Continued)
 
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS, CONTINUED:
 
  Computer Services and Other (CS):
 
  The decline in the CS operating margin during the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the corresponding periods in 1995 is due to the
initial effect of the 1995 acquisitions of Intelus Corporation and MACESS
Corporation, partially offset by an increase in the operating margin in the
Company's remote-access computer processing and automated mailing services
businesses.
 
  The Company expects that the CS operating margin will improve for the
full-year 1996 compared to 1995. The most important factors affecting the CS
operating margin are the performance of recently acquired businesses, which are
highly dependent upon the timing and magnitude of software license revenues, and
revenue growth in remote-access computer processing and automated mailing
services businesses.
 
REVENUES:
 
  Total revenues for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996
increased $58.8 million, or 24%, and $30.4 million, or 24%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. Excluding acquired businesses,
revenues increased $22.5 million, or 9%, and $10.7 million, or 9%, during the
six and three month periods compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.
Recurring revenues derived from remote processing, disaster recovery and
software maintenance services are approximately $243.0 million and $204.6
million for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing 80% and 83% of consolidated revenues, respectively. The decline in
the percentage of recurring revenues during 1996 is due to an increase in the
percentage of software license revenues, which increased to 11% of total
revenues during the six month period ended June 30, 1996, compared to 9% of
total revenues during the corresponding period in 1995. This increase was due
primarily to continued growth in software license revenues in the Trading
Systems Group and acquired businesses, partially offset by declines in software
license revenues in the Company's Financial Systems and Trust and Shareholder
Systems Groups. The Company expects that the percentage of recurring revenues
will be approximately 80% for the full-year 1996.
 
  The Company sells a significant portion of its products and services to the
financial services industry and could be directly affected by the overall
condition of that industry. The Company expects that the consolidation trend in
the financial services industry will continue, but it is unable to predict what
effect, if any, this trend may have.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (Continued)
 
REVENUES, CONTINUED:
 
     Investment Support Systems:
 
     ISS revenues for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996
increased $30.4 million, or 20%, and $14.7 million, or 19%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. Excluding acquired businesses,
revenues increased $9.2 million, or 6%, and $4.1 million, or 5%, during the six
and three month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the corresponding
periods in 1995. Excluding acquired businesses, the increases are attributable
to increases in data processing and software maintenance revenues of $7.2
million and $2.6 million, respectively, and increases in software license and
professional services revenues of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
 
     Disaster Recovery Services:
 
     DRS revenues for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996
increased $13.2 million, or 17%, and $6.8 million, or 17%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. Excluding acquired businesses,
revenues increased $11.4 million, or 15%, and $5.4 million, or 13%, during the
six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the corresponding
periods in 1995.  The increases are attributable primarily to increases in
revenues resulting from new contract signings and contract renewals, a
significant portion of which were in the Company's midrange platforms.
 
     Computer Services and Other:
 
     CS revenues for the six and three month period ended June 30, 1996
increased $15.2 million, or 103%, and $8.9 million, or 121%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995. Excluding acquired businesses,
revenues increased $1.9 million, or 13%, and $1.1 million, or 15%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  These increases are due to
increased volume in the Company's remote-access computer processing business.
 
COSTS AND EXPENSES:
 
     Cost of sales and direct operating expenses for the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 1996 increased $25.0 million, or 22%, and $13.4 million,
or 24%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The
increases are due primarily to acquired businesses.  As a percentage of
revenues, cost of sales and direct operating expenses were relatively stable at
45%.
 
     Sales, marketing and administration expenses for the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 1996 increased $10.0 million, or 20%, and $4.7 million,
or 18%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The
increases are due primarily to acquired businesses and an increase in sales
activity, particularly in the DRS Group.  As a percentage of revenues, sales,
marketing and administrative expenses declined from approximately 21% to 20%.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (Continued)
 
COSTS AND EXPENSES, CONTINUED:
 
     Product development expenses for the six and three month periods ended June
30, 1996 increased $5.4 million, or 25%, and $2.5 million, or 23%, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increases are due primarily
to acquired businesses and an increase in development spending in connection
with various ISS products.  Development costs capitalized were $1.6 million and
$1.1 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 1996, respectively,
compared with $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the six and three months ended
June 30, 1995, respectively.
 
     Depreciation of property and equipment for the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 increased $3.1 million, or 22%, and $1.6 million, or 22%,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increases are
due primarily to acquired businesses and purchases of equipment and facility
improvements.
 
     Net interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased
$0.4 million, or 16%, compared to the corresponding period in 1995 due primarily
to an increase in average cash and investment balances, and, to a lesser extent,
an increase in overall interest rates.  Net interest income will decline during
the balance of 1996 due to the recently completed acquisition of NCS Financial
Systems, Inc. for $95.0 million in cash.
 
     The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.5% and 41.0% during the six
and three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The small
decline in the 1996 effective income tax rate is due primarily to nondeductible
intangible asset amortization remaining relatively constant, while income before
income taxes is increasing.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
 
     At June 30, 1996, cash and short-term investments increased $2.9 million to
$118.1 million from $115.2 million at December 31, 1995.  Shortly after the end
of the second quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of NCS Financial
Systems, Inc.  Total cash paid for the acquisition was $95.0 million, of which
$5.0 million was paid in June 1996.  Cash equivalents and short-term investments
are invested primarily in institutional money-market funds, short-term municipal
bonds, and highly rated, investment-grade corporate bonds.  By policy, the
Company places its investments with institutions of high credit-quality and
limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
 
     Cash flow from operations increased during the six month period ended June
30, 1996 to $53.3 million from $32.0 million during the comparable period in
1995.  The increase was due to an $11.0 million increase in cash flow from
operations before working capital changes, and a $10.3 million improvement in
working capital.  The Company spent $16.7 million for property and equipment
during the six months ended June 30, 1996, and expects that capital spending for
the full-year 1996 will increase to approximately $37.0 million from $31.7
million during 1995.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         (Continued)
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED:
 
The expected increase is due to spending by recently acquired businesses, and
replacement and improvement of equipment and facilities.
 
     The Company expects that its existing cash resources and cash generated
from operations will be sufficient for the foreseeable future to meet its
operating requirements, contingent payments in connection with previously
acquired businesses, and ordinary capital spending needs.  As a result of the
recently completed acquisition of NCS Financial Systems, Inc., the Company is
currently negotiating a new $75.0 million line of credit to replace its existing
$25.0 million line of credit.  The Company believes that it has the capacity to
borrow funds and use equity to finance additional capital needs.
