   The boards of directors of SunGard Data Systems Inc. and Pentamation

SunGard.

merger. Pentamation has scheduled a special meeting for Pentamation
shareholders to vote on the merger. Your vote is very important.

   Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time

            QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SUNGARD/PENTAMATION MERGER

 Q: Why is Pentamation agreeing to the merger with SunGard?

 A: The Pentamation board of directors believes that the merger is in the best
    interests of Pentamation and its shareholders. To review Pentamation's
    reasons for the merger, see pages 19 and 20.

 Q: What will happen to the shares of Pentamation in the merger?

 A: In the merger, Pentamation shareholders will receive shares of SunGard
    common stock in exchange for each for their shares of Pentamation common
    stock. No fractional shares of SunGard common stock will be issued. In lieu
    of fractional shares, the number of shares of stock to be issued to each
    shareholder shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of
    shares of SunGard common stock.

 Q: When will the merger be completed?

 A: Pentamation and SunGard expect that the merger will become effective
    promptly after shareholders of Pentamation approve the merger; provided
    that the other conditions to the merger have been satisfied. A special
    meeting of Pentamation Shareholders is scheduled for August 6, 1999.

 Q: What should I do now?

 A: You should mail your completed and signed proxy card in the enclosed
    postage paid envelope as soon as possible so that your shares will be
    represented at the special meeting.

 Q: Can I change my vote after I have mailed in a signed proxy card?

 A: Yes. You can change your vote in one of the following ways at any time
    before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can revoke your
    proxy by submitting a later dated signed proxy with respect to the same
    shares orby delivering a written revocation to Pentamation's Secretary.
    Alternatively, you can attend the special meeting in person, revoke your
    proxy and vote your shares at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting will
    not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy.

Q: What other matters will be voted on at the special meeting?

A: We do not expect to ask Pentamation shareholders to vote on any matter other
  than approval of the merger.

Q: Should I send in my share certificates now?

A: No. After the merger is completed, you will be sent written instructions for
  sending in your share certificates and receiving the SunGard common stock to
  which you are entitled.

Q: When will I receive shares of SunGard common stock in the merger?

A: If the merger is completed, SunGard will issue common stock to Pentamation
  shareholders who have returned their Pentamation share certificates together
  with a completed letter of transmittal supplied by SunGard's exchange agent,
  Norwest Bank N.A. Pentamation shareholders will receive stock certificates
  representing 90% of their shares of SunGard common stock to be issued in the
  merger. The remaining 10% of their shares of SunGard common stock will be
  held in escrow and released to Pentamation shareholders one year after the
  merger is completed, less the number of shares, if any, that may be returned
  to SunGard to satisfy claims SunGard may have against Pentamation under the
  merger documents. Pentamation and the principal shareholders of Pentamation
  made statements or promises about Pentamation, called representations and
  warranties, in the merger documents. If these statements or promises turn out
  to be incorrect, SunGard may have a claim against Pentamation, which would be
  satisfied solely out of the escrowed shares.

Q: Whom should I call with questions and to obtain additional copies of this
  document?

A: You should call David P. Bloys, Secretary of Pentamation at (610) 691-3616.

merger fully and for a more complete description of the legal terms of the
merger, you should read carefully this entire document and the documents to
which we have referred you. See "Where To Find More Information" on page 44. We
have included page references parenthetically to direct you to a more complete
discussion of the topics presented in this summary. Unless the context
otherwise requires, all references to SunGard mean SunGard and its subsidiaries
and all references to Pentamation mean Pentamation and its subsidiaries.

The Merger (page 18)

   We have entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization, which is
attached as Appendix A, and a related agreement and plan of merger, which is
attached as Appendix B. We encourage you to read these merger documents because
they are the legal documents that govern the merger.

   As a result of the merger, Pentamation will become a wholly-owned subsidiary
of SunGard and Pentamation common stock will be converted into SunGard common
stock as described below.

The Pentamation Special Meeting (page 16)

   A special meeting of Pentamation shareholders will be held at the corporate
offices of Pentamation, located at The Marketplace, 1st Floor, Five Bethlehem
Plaza, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18018 on August 6, 1999 at 9 a.m, local time.
The purpose of the Pentamation special meeting is to vote upon the proposal to
approve the merger.

Who is Entitled to Vote; What Vote is Required (page 16)

   You are entitled to vote any shares of Pentamation common stock held by you
at the close of business on June 21, 1999, the record date, at the Pentamation
special meeting. On the record date, there were 817,734 outstanding Pentamation
shares, each of which will be entitled to one vote.

   The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at
least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on
the particular matter at the meeting will constitute a quorum. Approval of the
merger will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by
Pentamation shareholders.

   Pentamation shareholders who own approximately 75% of the Pentamation shares
outstanding on the record date have entered into voting agreements with SunGard
in which these shareholders have agreed to vote their Pentamation shares in
favor of the merger.

Escrow Agreement (page 28)

   In connection with the merger, Pentamation shareholders will be asked to
sign an escrow agreement with SunGard, a copy of which is attached as Appendix
C. Under the escrow agreement, the escrow agent will maintain an account for
each Pentamation shareholder containing the shareholder's stock being held in
escrow in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. The escrowed
stock, representing 10% of the stock to be issued in the merger, will be held
by the escrow agent in escrow for one year after completion of the merger and
used to satisfy any claims for indemnification by SunGard under the
reorganization agreement. See "The Merger Documents-Escrow Agreement and
Indemnification Claims."

Merger Consideration (page 26)

   If the shareholders of Pentamation approve the merger and SunGard and
Pentamation complete the merger, you will receive SunGard common stock in
exchange for your shares of Pentamation common stock. The exact number of
shares of SunGard common stock you will receive will be based upon an exchange
ratio that will not be fixed until the effective date of the merger. The
exchange ratio represents the number of shares of SunGard common stock that
Pentamation shareholders will receive for each share of Pentamation common
stock. The exchange ratio will be based on the average of the closing sale
prices of SunGard common stock over a 20 trading day period ending two days
prior to the effective date of the merger and upon the number of Pentamation
shares outstanding when the merger is completed.

   Listed below is the approximate exchange ratio which would apply if the 20-
day average closing price of SunGard common stock was equal to the price listed
next to that ratio:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                              Then each share of
                              Pentamation common
                           stock would be converted
                              into the following
                              approximate number
  If the SunGard 20-day          of shares of
average closing price is:   SunGard common stock:
- -------------------------  ------------------------
<S>                        <C>
         $30.00                   1.1536120
          31.00                   1.1536120
          32.00                   1.1536120
          33.00                   1.1186531
     34.00 to 46.00               1.0857520
          47.00                   1.0626508
          48.00                   1.0405122
          49.00                   1.0405122
</TABLE>
   Please note that because the exchange ratio will be based upon the average
closing price of SunGard's common stock and because the market price of the
shares of SunGard common stock may fluctuate, Pentamation shareholders cannot
be sure as of the date of the special meeting of the market value of the shares
of SunGard common stock they will receive.

   It is a condition to Pentamation's obligation to complete the merger that
the average price of SunGard common stock over a 20 trading day period ending
two days prior to the effective date of the merger is greater than or equal to
$32 per share.

   No fractional shares of SunGard common stock will be issued in connection
with the merger. In lieu of fractional shares, the number of shares of SunGard
common stock to be issued to each shareholder will be rounded up or down to the
nearest whole number of shares.

Federal Income Tax Consequences (page 24)

   SunGard received an opinion from its outside counsel that the merger will
constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986. This means that, as a general matter, Pentamation shareholders will
not be subject to tax as a result of the exchange of Pentamation shares solely
for SunGard common stock in the merger. Pentamation shareholders also will not
be able to take into account any losses on their Pentamation shares.

Dissenters Rights (page 22)

   Pennsylvania corporate law grants Pentamation shareholders dissenters
rights. Pentamation shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and
obtain payment of the fair value of their Pentamation common stock if they
follow the procedures set forth under the Pennsylvania dissenters rights
statute, a copy of which is attached as Appendix D. These procedures generally
require that a Pentamation shareholder who wishes to dissent file with
Pentamation a written notice of intention to dissent prior to the vote on the
merger proposal, make no change in the beneficial ownership of their
Pentamation shares from the date of filing until the effective time of the
merger and

                                       3
<PAGE>

refrain from voting for the approval of the merger proposal. Other requirements
are set forth in the Pennsylvania dissenters rights statute. Dissenters rights
will be forfeited if these requirements are not fully, precisely and timely
satisfied. It is a condition to the closing of the merger that holders of less
than 10% of Pentamation's outstanding stock exercise their dissenters rights.
See "The Merger and Related Transactions--Dissenters Rights" and a copy of the
text of Subchapter D attached as Appendix D to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Reasons for the Merger (page 18)

   In reaching its decision to approve the merger, the Pentamation board of
directors considered a number of factors, including:

 .  The value of the consideration to be received by the shareholders of
   Pentamation, including the fact that the merger is expected to be treated as
   a tax-free reorganization;

 .  Publicly available financial information regarding SunGard; and

 .  The opportunity for holders of Pentamation Stock to continue participating
   in the potential for the future growth of Pentamation through the ownership
   of SunGard common stock following the merger.

Recommendation of the Pentamation Board of Directors (page 17)

   The board of directors of Pentamation has determined that the merger is fair
to and in the best interests of Pentamation and its shareholders. Therefore,
the board of directors of Pentamation recommends that Pentamation shareholders
vote to approve the merger.

Conditions to the Merger (page 32)

   SunGard and Pentamation will complete the merger only if the conditions to
the merger that SunGard and Pentamation have agreed to are either satisfied or
waived. These conditions include, among other things, that:

 .  the merger has been approved by the Pentamation shareholders;

 .  the independent accountants for each of Pentamation and SunGard have
   delivered a letter to SunGard to the effect that the merger will qualify as
   a pooling of interests for accounting purposes;

 .  the holders of at least 90% of Pentamation's outstanding stock execute the
   escrow agreement;

 .  there is no material adverse change in the business, assets, financial
   condition or financial performance of Pentamation;

 .  the average price of SunGard common stock over a 20 trading day period
   ending two days prior to the effective date of the merger is greater than or
   equal to $32 per share; and

 .  Pentamation has completed its purchases of (i) real estate and (ii)
   automobiles, each previously leased by Pentamation, from a partnership owned
   by the principal shareholders of Pentamation in consideration for
   Pentamation common stock.

Termination of the Merger (page 33)

   SunGard and Pentamation can agree to terminate the merger documents without
completing the merger, and either of SunGard or Pentamation can terminate the
merger documents under various circumstances, including if the merger is not
completed by August 31, 1999, or if the conditions to the merger are not
satisfied or waived by August 31, 1999.

Regulatory Matters (page 25)

   The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 prohibits us from
completing the merger until after SunGard and Pentamation furnished information
and materials to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and to the
Federal Trade Commission and a required waiting period has ended. SunGard and
Pentamation filed the required information and received early termination of
the required waiting period. However, the Antitrust Division of the Department
of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission continue to have the authority to
challenge the merger on antitrust grounds before or after the merger is
completed.

Accounting Treatment (page 25)

   SunGard and Pentamation expect that the merger will be accounted for as a
pooling of

                                       4
<PAGE>

interests, meaning that the companies will be treated as if they had always
been combined for accounting and financial reporting purposes. It is a
condition to the merger that SunGard obtains from both Pentamation's and
SunGard's independent accountants letters addressing the qualification of the
merger for pooling of interests accounting treatment.

Voting Agreements (page 20)

   Pentamation shareholders who own approximately 75% of the Pentamation shares
outstanding on the record date have entered into voting agreements with SunGard
in which these shareholders have agreed to vote their Pentamation shares in
favor of the merger.

Share Ownership of Management (page 37)

   On the record date, directors and executive officers of Pentamation and
their affiliates had voting control over 649,664 shares of Pentamation common
stock, or approximately 79% of the shares outstanding on the record date. This
number includes the shares covered by the voting agreements described above. In
addition, a partnership owned by two directors of Pentamation will receive
approximately 91,000 shares of Pentamation common stock in exchange for the
sale of real estate and automobiles previously leased by Pentamation from that
partnership.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger (page 20)

   There are directors and executive officers of Pentamation who may be deemed
to have interests in the merger that are in addition to the interests of
Pentamation shareholders generally. As a condition of the merger, prior to the
completion of the merger, Pentamation has agreed to purchase real estate and
automobiles leased by Pentamation from a partnership owned by Jeffrey P.
Feather and David P. Bloys. The purchase of the real estate and the automobiles
is required under applicable accounting rules in order for the merger to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. In addition, Donald V. Appleton,
President of Pentamation will receive options for the purchase of SunGard
common stock in consideration for the cancellation of his options to purchase
Pentamation common stock outstanding as of the effective date of the merger.

Effects of the Merger on the Rights of Pentamation's Shareholders (page 39)

   When the merger is completed, Pentamation's shareholders will become
stockholders of SunGard. SunGard is a company governed by Delaware law and
SunGard's existing charter and bylaws. As a result, the rights of Pentamation's
shareholders will change.

              Selected Historical Financial Information of SunGard

   The following selected historical consolidated financial data of SunGard
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of
SunGard that are incorporated by reference in this document. All of the
selected historical consolidated financial data of SunGard has been restated
for three pooling-of-interests transactions completed during the first four
months of 1999. One of the pooling-of-interests transactions was with Automated
Securities Clearance, Ltd. (ASC). ASC was an "S" corporation prior to the
merger with SunGard; therefore, all income passed through directly to and all
income taxes were paid directly by the shareholder of ASC. Pro forma net income
is presented because generally accepted accounting principles require that pro
forma income taxes be reflected on the Statement of Income for all periods
presented, thereby reflecting income taxes which would have been paid by ASC if
ASC had been a "C" corporation.

   Since June 4, 1997, SunGard common stock has been listed and traded on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SDS." Previously, SunGard common
stock was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the London Stock Exchange under
the symbol "SNDT." There is no established public trading market for
Pentamation's common stock. As a result, the market value of shares of
Pentamation common stock is not readily ascertainable.

   The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the reported high
and low sale prices of SunGard common stock as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange since June 4, 1997 and on the Nasdaq Stock Market prior to June 4,

   The equivalent Pentamation per share price was calculated by multiplying the
closing sale price per share of SunGard common stock reflected in the table by
the applicable exchange ratio that would be used in the merger if the average
stock price on which the exchange ratio is based equaled the closing sale
prices reflected in the table. The equivalent Pentamation per share prices
reflect the value of SunGard common stock that Pentamation shareholders would
receive for each share of Pentamation common stock exchanged in the merger if
the average stock price of SunGard common stock on which the exchange ratio is
based equals the closing sale prices of SunGard common stock reflected in the
table.

   Because the market price of SunGard common stock may fluctuate, the market
price per share of the shares of SunGard common stock that holders of
Pentamation common stock will receive in the merger may increase or decrease
prior to the merger. See "Risk Factors" on page 11.

   Pentamation shareholders are urged to obtain a current market quotation for
SunGard common stock. No assurance can be given as to the future prices of, or
markets for, SunGard common stock.

                           Comparative Per Share Data

   The following table presents historical and pro forma per share data for
SunGard and historical and equivalent pro forma per share data for Pentamation.
This information is provided for illustrative purposes only and assumes that
the merger had occurred as of the beginning of each of the periods presented.
Estimated costs of the merger of approximately $600,000 are excluded from the
pro forma information. The pro forma information should not be relied upon as
necessarily indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained
if the companies had been combined during those periods or the results that
will be obtained in the future. The equivalent pro forma per share amounts for
Pentamation are calculated by multiplying the SunGard combined pro forma per
share amounts by an assumed exchange ratio of 1.1536120. The historical book
value per share is computed by dividing total stockholders' equity by the
number of shares outstanding at the end of the period. The pro forma book value
per share is computed by dividing pro forma stockholders' equity by the pro
forma number of shares outstanding as of the end of each of the periods
presented.

   This information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and the related notes of SunGard and Pentamation, all of which are
included elsewhere or are incorporated by reference in this document. See

                                  RISK FACTORS

   In determining whether you should vote in favor of the merger you should
consider carefully the risks associated with the merger and with ownership of
SunGard common stock following the merger. Some of these risks are described
below.

Risks Relating to the Merger

   The exchange ratio in the merger is based on the market prices of SunGard
common stock over a period of time prior to the effective date of the merger
and will fluctuate within a specified range. Pentamation shareholders will not
know the final value of the SunGard common stock they will receive until the
effective date of the merger.

   The exchange ratio, which is the multiple of a share of SunGard common stock
that Pentamation shareholders will receive for each share of Pentamation common
stock, is based on the average of the closing prices of SunGard common stock
over a period of time prior to the effective date of the merger.

   Pentamation shareholders will not know the final exchange ratio and the
final value of the SunGard common stock they will receive until the effective
date of the merger. The market prices of SunGard common stock as of various
recent dates are set forth in the Summary under "Market Price Information."
Pentamation shareholders should obtain recent market quotations for SunGard
common stock. SunGard common stock historically has been subject to price
volatility. No assurance can be given as to the market price of SunGard common
stock at any time.

   Pentamation could lose customers due to the merger.

   Some of Pentamation's existing customers, particularly customers that are in
the same business as SunGard, may take the opportunity following a change of
control of Pentamation to review their contractual relationships. These reviews
could result in delayed or lost sales to either SunGard or Pentamation.

   The merger is intended to qualify for pooling of interests accounting
treatment. If the merger fails to qualify for pooling of interests accounting
treatment, the combined financial results of SunGard and Pentamation could be
adversely affected.

   The merger is intended to qualify for pooling of interests treatment under
generally accepted accounting principles. It is a condition to closing that
SunGard receive the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to this effect.
However, if the merger at any time is determined to not qualify for pooling of
interests treatment, the combined financial results of SunGard and Pentamation
could be adversely affected.

   Under pooling of interests treatment, the accounts of SunGard will be
combined with those of Pentamation at their historical carrying amounts and
SunGard's financial statements for all prior periods will be restated, if
material, to reflect the accounts of SunGard as if the two companies had been
combined for all periods. If the merger does not qualify for pooling of
interests treatment, the purchase method of accounting may be applied. Under
the purchase method, the fair market value of the SunGard common stock issued
in the merger would be recorded as the cost of acquiring Pentamation's
business. That cost would be allocated to the individual assets of Pentamation
that were acquired and liabilities of Pentamation's that were assumed according
to their respective fair values. The fair market value of the SunGard common
stock to be issued in the transaction is in excess of the amounts at which the
net assets are carried in Pentamation's accounts. The excess would be allocated
to intangible assets and amortized as an expense over the estimated useful life
of each intangible asset.

   Future sales of shares issued in the merger could adversely affect SunGard's
stock price.

   Depending upon the exchange ratio, an aggregate of approximately 950,000 to
1,100,000 shares of SunGard common stock will be issued in the merger. These
shares will be immediately freely tradeable in the market except for shares
issued to affiliates of Pentamation which will become freely tradeable after
SunGard has published financial results covering at least 30 days of combined
operations. Sales of a substantial number of shares of SunGard common stock
could adversely affect the market price of SunGard common stock.

Risks Relating to SunGard

   SunGard's growth strategy depends in part on acquisitions. If SunGard is
unable to acquire businesses on favorable terms or successfully integrate and
manage the businesses acquired, SunGard's business and financial results may
suffer.

   SunGard intends to grow by expanding its existing businesses and by
acquiring similar or complementary businesses, including acquisitions that are
intended to qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment. This growth
strategy is subject to a number of risks that could adversely affect SunGard's
business and financial results, including:

  .  SunGard may not be able to find suitable businesses to acquire on
     affordable terms;

  .  competition from other acquirors and stock market fluctuations may make
     it more difficult for SunGard to find and complete acquisitions;

  .  SunGard may have to raise money in the debt or equity markets to finance
     future acquisitions;

  .  one or more acquisitions may not qualify for pooling of interests
     accounting treatment;

  .  at any given time, a large number of shares of SunGard common stock
     issued to acquire businesses may become freely tradeable in the market;
     and

  .  the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, recently voted
     unanimously to eliminate the use of pooling of interests accounting
     treatment beginning on January 1, 2001. In addition, FASB is considering
     a variety of proposals to change the treatment of purchase accounting.
     The resolution of these proposed changes may adversely affect SunGard's
     ability to continue to grow by acquiring similar or complementary
     businesses.

   The businesses acquired by SunGard may perform worse than expected or may be
more difficult to integrate and manage than expected. If that happens, SunGard
may suffer a number of adverse consequences, including:

  . SunGard may have to devote unanticipated financial and management
     resources to the acquired businesses;

  . SunGard may not be able to realize expected operating efficiencies; and

  . SunGard may have to write off goodwill or other intangible assets if the
     acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

   SunGard's success depends in part on adapting its computer services and
software to changes in technology and changes in its customers' businesses. If
SunGard does not successfully update its services and software, or if its new
products or services are not timely delivered or well received by customers,
SunGard's business and financial results may suffer.

   SunGard's ability to successfully update its services and software and
timely develop and deliver new products and services required by its customers
is subject to a number of risks which could adversely affect SunGard's business
and financial results, including:

  .  SunGard may find it difficult to update its services and software and
     timely develop and deliver its new products and services in a cost-
     effective manner, especially when faced with rapid technological changes
     that are hard to predict; and

  .  SunGard may find it difficult to update its services and software to
     keep pace with business, regulatory and other developments in the
     financial services industry in which most of SunGard's customers
     operate.

                                       12
<PAGE>

   SunGard's business is dependent largely on the financial services industry.
If that industry does poorly, SunGard's business and financial results may
suffer.

   SunGard sells most of its computer services and software to banks, mutual
funds, brokers, insurance companies and other financial services firms. If the
financial services industry or SunGard's customers in the financial services
industry experience problems, SunGard's business and financial results could be
adversely affected. For example, SunGard may suffer if securities trading
activity declines, the number or value of managed portfolios decreases, or
there is continued consolidation among firms in the financial services
industry.

   The advent of year 2000, including any failure by SunGard to make its
products year 2000 compliant or to fulfill year 2000 commitments to customers,
may adversely affect SunGard's business and financial results.

   SunGard has made many of its products year 2000 compliant so that they can
handle dates in the year 2000 and beyond. However, SunGard is still working on
making some of its most important products year 2000 compliant. In addition,
SunGard has made commitments to some customers that need to convert from non-
year 2000 compliant systems, and as a result, SunGard must meet significant
development obligations and complete conversions prior to the end of 1999.
SunGard's year 2000 compliance efforts are subject to a number of risks which
could adversely affect SunGard's business and financial results, including:

  .  SunGard may not be able to make all of its important products year 2000
     compliant;

  .  SunGard may not be able to timely meet its year 2000 commitments to
     customers;

  .  SunGard may have to add personnel and buy new software and hardware
     earlier than planned to complete its year 2000 compliance efforts, which
     could cause an unexpected increase in expenses;

  .  SunGard's expenses may increase faster than expected because year 2000
     issues are causing a shortage in the availability of experienced
     programmers; and

  .  SunGard may encounter unanticipated year 2000 problems, like a problem
     with another company's software or hardware that interacts with
     SunGard's products or that is used by SunGard.

   SunGard believes that year 2000 compliance issues have caused some
acceleration of software buying and conversion activity. As a result, SunGard's
rate of internal growth may decline in the second half of 1999 or in the year
2000, which could adversely affect SunGard's business and financial results.

   Forward-looking Statements May Prove Inaccurate.

   This document contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking
statements made by SunGard and Pentamation that are subject to risks and
uncertainties and that may change at any time and differ from actual results.
Forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future
financial results of SunGard and Pentamation and usually contain words such as
"believes," "expects," "anticipates," or similar expressions. SunGard and
Pentamation derive most of their forward-looking statements from their
operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed
assumptions. While SunGard and Pentamation believe that their assumptions are
reasonable, they caution that there are inherent difficulties in predicting
certain important factors such as:

  .  the timing and magnitude of software sales and services;

  .  the effect of year 2000 issues on software and services buying
     decisions;

  .  the timing and scope of technological advances and year 2000 compliance;

  .  the integration and performance of acquired businesses;

  .  the effects of competitive pressures;


                                       13
<PAGE>

  .  the prospects for future acquisitions; and

  .  the overall condition of the financial services industry.

These and other factors, some of which are discussed in this section or
elsewhere in this document and some of which are discussed in the documents
incorporated by reference, could affect the future financial results of SunGard
and Pentamation and could cause those results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by
reference in this document.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

SunGard

   On March 9, 1999, SunGard signed an agreement to acquire Oshap Technologies
Ltd. Oshap is an Israeli-based technology company which has two principal
majority-owned subsidiaries. One majority-owned subsidiary, MINT Software
Technologies Ltd. is a leading provider to the financial services industry of
software solutions that enable the integration of disparate applications and
networks. The other majority-owned subsidiary, Decalog N.V., provides
comprehensive software solutions that enable global asset management
organizations to automate critical steps in the investment management process.
The acquisition is expected to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. A
maximum of approximately 5,750,000 shares of SunGard common stock will be
issued in connection with the acquisition of Oshap. SunGard also will offer to
acquire the minority interests in MINT and Decalog at a fixed price, which
could result in an additional issuance of approximately 450,000 shares of
SunGard common stock, plus a cash payment of between $25,000,000 and
$35,000,000. Also, options to buy common stock of MINT and Decalog will be
converted into approximately 500,000 options to buy shares of common stock of
SunGard. Total merger costs in connection with this acquisition, consisting
primarily of investment banking, legal, accounting, and printing fees, are
estimated to be approximately $5,000,000. These merger costs, which generally
are not deductible for income tax purposes, will be recorded as an operating
expense during the quarter in which the acquisition is completed, which is
expected to be the third quarter of 1999. The acquisition of the minority
interests will result in recording intangible assets of approximately
$51,000,000.

   During the year ended December 31, 1998, Oshap recorded total revenues of
$32,319,000, and a net loss (before an extraordinary gain, which totaled
$3,074,000 after-tax) of $1,902,000. During the three months ended March
31,1999, Oshap recorded total revenues of $10,599,000, and a net loss of
$3,303,000. The net loss during the three months ended March 31, 1999 included
a write-off of approximately $2,020,000 (both before and after-tax) for fees
incurred in connection with the aborted initial public offerings of MINT and
Decalog, which had been planned prior to SunGard signing the agreement to
acquire Oshap, and $1,500,000 for Oshap's proportional share of one-time after-
tax items incurred by Tecnomatix Technologies Ltd., a minority-owned
investment. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, Oshap recorded total
revenues of $6,426,000 and net income of $463,000.

                        THE PENTAMATION SPECIAL MEETING

General

   The Pentamation special meeting is scheduled to be held on August 6, 1999 at
9:00 a.m., local time, at the corporate offices of Pentamation located at The
Marketplace, 1st Floor, Five Bethlehem Plaza, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18018.
The purpose of the Pentamation special meeting is to consider and vote upon the
proposed merger.

Record Date

   The close of business on June 21, 1999 has been fixed by the Pentamation
board of directors as the Pentamation record date for the determination of
holders of shares of Pentamation common stock entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Pentamation special meeting. Only holders of record of Pentamation
common stock as of June 21, 1999, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Pentamation special meeting.

Stock Entitled to Vote

   As of the close of business on the record date, there were 817,734 shares of
Pentamation common stock outstanding. Holders of Pentamation common stock will
be entitled to one vote for each share of Pentamation common stock that they
held on June 21, 1999. Accordingly, as of the record date, the holders of
Pentamation common stock are entitled to cast, in the aggregate, 817,734 votes.

Quorum; Required Vote

   The presence, in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast at
least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on
the particular matter at the meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of
conducting business at the Pentamation special meeting. Under Pennsylvania law
and Pentamation's charter, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast
by Pentamation shareholders is necessary to approve the proposed merger.

Voting and Revocation of Proxies

   Shares of Pentamation common stock represented by a proxy properly signed
and received at or prior to the Pentamation special meeting, unless
subsequently revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the
proxy. If you sign and return your proxy without indicating any voting
instructions, the shares of Pentamation common stock represented by the proxy
will be voted "for" the proposed merger. You may revoke your proxy and reclaim
your right to vote at any time by giving written notice of revocation to the
Secretary of Pentamation at any time before it is voted, by submitting to
Pentamation a duly executed, later-dated proxy or by voting the shares subject
to the proxy by written ballot at the Pentamation special meeting. You should
send all written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to
revocation of Pentamation proxies to: Pentamation Enterprises, Inc., One
Bethlehem Plaza, Bethlehem, PA 18018, Attention: David P. Bloys, Secretary.
Attendance at the Pentamation special meeting will not, in and of itself,
constitute a revocation of a proxy.

   The Pentamation board of directors is not aware of any business to be acted
upon at the Pentamation special meeting other than as described in this proxy
statement/prospectus. If, however, other matters are brought before the
Pentamation special meeting, including, among other things, a motion to adjourn
or postpone the Pentamation special meeting to another time or place for the
purpose of soliciting additional proxies or otherwise, the persons appointed as
proxies will have discretion to vote or act on the matters according to their
best judgment. However, no proxy which is voted against the proposed merger
will be voted in favor of any adjournment or postponement. The grant of a proxy
will also confer discretionary authority on the persons named in the proxy to
vote on matters incident to the conduct of the Pentamation special meeting.

                                       16
<PAGE>

   Abstentions will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining
whether a quorum is present but will not be voted for or against the proposed
merger. Abstentions also will not be counted as votes cast for purposes of
determining whether sufficient votes have been received to approve the proposed
merger. Accordingly, abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote
with respect to the proposed merger.

Board Recommendation

   On May 6, 1999, the Board of Directors of Pentamation, in an action by
unanimous written consent, approved the reorganization agreement and merger
agreement and the transactions necessary to complete the merger. Prior to
reaching its decision, the Pentamation Board of Directors had received
information from its financial advisors, legal counsel, and others regarding
various aspects of SunGard, including its products, employees, suppliers and
management. Based on this information and a description of the terms of the
reorganization agreement and the merger agreement, the Board of Directors
approved the reorganization agreement, the merger agreement and the merger and
authorized the filing of a registration statement, the obtaining of all
regulatory approvals, and the performance of all additional actions necessary,
appropriate or advisable in order to complete the merger. The Board of
Directors of Pentamation recommends that the shareholders of Pentamation vote
FOR approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement and the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger documents.

Solicitation of Proxies

   The proxies are being solicited on behalf of the Pentamation board of
directors. The solicitation of proxies may be made by directors, officers and
regular employees of Pentamation in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile or
telegraph without additional compensation payable for that solicitation. The
cost of the solicitation will be borne by Pentamation.

Rights of Dissenting Pentamation Shareholders

   Except as otherwise described in this proxy statement/prospectus, each
Pentamation shareholder who delivers to Pentamation a written demand for
appraisal of the shareholder's shares before the Pentamation special meeting
and who otherwise complies with the applicable procedures under Pennsylvania
law will be entitled to receive the fair value of his or her shares of
Pentamation stock in cash if the merger is completed. See "The Merger--Rights
of Dissenting Pentamation Shareholders."

   It is a condition to the obligation of SunGard to complete the merger that
the aggregate number of shares of stock owned by those shareholders of
Pentamation who have exercised, or given notice of their intent to exercise,
their dissenters' rights will be less than ten percent of the total number of
outstanding shares of Pentamation stock.

                      THE MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Background of the Merger

   During 1998, SunGard concluded that the market for providing computer
information software and services to nonprofit organizations, principally
school districts and local governments, was a suitable complement to SunGard's
existing business that provides software and services to nonprofit entities.
After performing preliminary research on various providers of such software and
services to nonprofit entities, SunGard made initial contact with Pentamation
in the summer of 1998 to determine its potential interest in pursuing
acquisition discussions with SunGard.

   In September 1998, senior officers of SunGard and Pentamation met to conduct
a preliminary discussion of the potential business and financial benefits of
combining the two companies.

   At a special meeting in December 1998, SunGard's management apprised
SunGard's board of directors of these initial discussions, and SunGard's board
authorized SunGard's management to continue to pursue discussions with
Pentamation. In late December 1998, representatives of Janney Montgomery Scott,
Pentamation's advisors, and SunGard conducted preliminary discussions regarding
the financial terms of a transaction between SunGard and Pentamation. From
January 1999 through mid-March 1999, SunGard and Pentamation and its financial
advisors continued to have discussions regarding the financial terms of a
potential transaction as well as to explore the potential benefits of a
potential combination of the two companies. As a result of those discussions,
in January 1999 the senior managements of both SunGard and Pentamation
separately determined that an acquisition of Pentamation by SunGard was in the
best interests of each company and its stockholders, and the parties signed a
letter of intent dated January 25, 1999. A revised letter of intent was signed
on March 25, 1999. Subsequent to that date, SunGard conducted a "due diligence"
investigation of Pentamation, and the senior officers of SunGard and
Pentamation conducted negotiations to establish the terms of the merger
documents, which were signed on May 6, 1999. The merger was approved by the
Board of Directors of SunGard on March 30, 1999 and by the Board of Directors
of Pentamation on May 6, 1999.

SunGard's Reasons for the Merger's

   The SunGard Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the terms of
the reorganization agreement and the merger agreement are fair to, and in the
best interests of, SunGard and its stockholders. In reaching its determination,
the SunGard Board of Directors consulted with SunGard's management, as well as
its legal counsel and accountants, and gave significant consideration to a
number of factors bearing on its decision. The following are the reasons the
SunGard Board of Directors believes the merger will be beneficial to SunGard
and its stockholders:

  .  SunGard seeks to grow both internally and through the acquisition of
     complementary businesses. The products of Pentamation provide customers
     with leading-edge software solutions for K through 12 school districts
     and local governments. These products will complement and broaden
     SunGard's existing product lines in its business that provides software
     and services to nonprofit organizations.

  .  The combination of the technologies and product development resources of
     SunGard and Pentamation should enable SunGard to respond more
     effectively to the rapid technological change and continuing emergence
     of systems for nonprofit organizations.

  .  SunGard believes there is a significant potential enhancement of the
     strategic and market position of the combined entity beyond that
     achievable by SunGard alone.

   In addition to the reasons set forth above, in the course of its
deliberations concerning the merger, the SunGard Board of Directors consulted
with SunGard's management, legal counsel and accountants and reviewed a number
of other factors relevant to the merger, including:

  .  Information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties,
     management, financial condition, operating results, competitive position
     and prospects of SunGard and Pentamation;

                                       18
<PAGE>

  .  The expected tax and accounting treatment of the merger;

  .  Reports from legal counsel on specific terms of the merger documents and
     the voting agreements executed by certain directors, officers and other
     affiliates of Pentamation; and

  .  SunGard's belief that the management styles and corporate cultures of
     the two companies would be complementary.

   The SunGard Board of Directors also considered a number of potentially
negative factors in its deliberations concerning the merger, including:

  .  The possibility of management disruption associated with the merger and
     the risk that key technical and management personnel of Pentamation or
     SunGard might not continue with Pentamation or SunGard;

  .  The possibility that the merger might adversely affect Pentamation's or
     SunGard's relationship with certain of their respective customers; and

  .  The risk that the potential benefits of the merger might not be
     realized.

   The SunGard Board of Directors concluded, however, that the benefits of the
transaction to SunGard and its stockholders outweighed the risks associated
with the foregoing factors.

   The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the
SunGard Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but is believed to
include all material factors considered by the SunGard Board of Directors. In
view of the wide variety of factors considered by the SunGard Board of
Directors, the SunGard Board of Directors did not consider it practicable to
quantify or otherwise assign relative weight to the specific factors.

Pentamation's Reasons for the Merger

   On May 6, 1999, the Board of Directors of Pentamation, in an action by
unanimous written consent, approved the reorganization agreement and merger
agreement and the transactions necessary to consummate the merger. Prior to
reaching its decision, the Pentamation Board of Directors had received
information from its financial advisors, legal counsel, and others regarding
various aspects of SunGard, including its products, employees, suppliers and
management. Based on this information and a description of the terms of the
reorganization agreement and the merger agreement, the Board of Directors
approved the reorganization agreement, the merger agreement and the merger and
authorized the filing of a registration statement, the obtaining of all
regulatory approvals, and the performance of all additional actions necessary,
appropriate or advisable in order to consummate the merger. The Board of
Directors of Pentamation recommends that the shareholders of Pentamation vote
FOR approval and adoption of the reorganization agreement and the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated in those documents.

   In reaching its conclusion to enter into the reorganization agreement and
the merger agreement and to recommend that the shareholders of Pentamation vote
FOR the approval and adoption of those agreements, the directors of Pentamation
considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

  .  The value of the consideration to be received by the shareholders of
     Pentamation, including the fact that the merger was expected to be
     treated as a tax-free reorganization and that, with the merger, the
     shareholders of Pentamation are acquiring an interest in a larger, more
     diverse enterprise;

  .  The publicly available financial information regarding SunGard, and the
     information regarding SunGard common stock, the relative financial
     performance of SunGard, the business reputation and capabilities of
     SunGard and its management, SunGard's financial strength, and the
     liquidity and the historical performance of the publicly traded SunGard
     common stock;

  .  The opportunity for holders of Pentamation Stock to continue
     participating in the potential for the future growth of Pentamation
     through the ownership of SunGard common stock following the merger;

                                       19
<PAGE>

  .  The perceived strengths of Pentamation and SunGard combined, including
     the potential developments and information that are expected to be
     shared between the two companies after the merger is consummated; and

  .  the likelihood that the merger will be consummated.

   In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the board of directors
of Pentamation in connection with its evaluation of the terms of the proposed
merger, the board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or
otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to the specific factors considered
in reaching its determinations.

Interests of Pentamation's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

   General. There are directors and executive officers of Pentamation who may
be deemed to have interests in the merger that are in addition to the interests
of Pentamation shareholders generally. These interests are discussed below. The
Pentamation board of directors was aware of these interests at the time the
merger was approved.

   Real Estate. David P. Bloys and Jeffrey P. Feather, who are directors,
officers and principal shareholders of Pentamation, are partners of GLS, a
Pennsylvania partnership that owns Five Bethlehem Plaza, Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania, which is real estate that Pentamation presently leases for its
operations. In connection with the merger, Pentamation will purchase the real
estate for approximately 87,000 shares of Pentamation common stock, subject to
adjustment so that the partnership receives the same number of SunGard shares
upon completion of the merger as the partnership would have received if the
real estate had been sold directly to SunGard in exchange for SunGard shares
for a purchase price equal to the net fair market value of the real estate. The
real estate has an appraised fair market value of $7,500,000. As of March 31,
1999, the mortgage balance on the real estate was $3,921,459. This purchase is
required in order to account for the merger as a pooling of interests. See "The
Merger and Related Transactions--Anticipated Accounting Treatment."

   Automobiles. GLS, a partnership of which David P. Bloys and Jeffrey P.
Feather are partners, owns approximately 56 automobiles leased and utilized by
Pentamation in its operations. In connection with the merger, Pentamation will
purchase the automobiles for approximately 4,000 shares of Pentamation common
stock, subject to adjustment so that the partnership receives the same number
of SunGard shares upon completion of the merger as the partnership would have
received if the automobiles had been sold directly to SunGard in exchange for
SunGard shares for a purchase price equal to the net fair market value of the
automobiles. The automobiles have an appraised fair market value of $917,475.
As of March 31, 1999, the loan balance associated with the automobiles was
$790,855. This purchase is required in order to account for the merger as a
pooling of interests. See "The Merger and Related Transaction--Anticipated
Accounting Treatment."

   Pentamation Options. Donald V. Appleton, the President of Pentamation, has
options to purchase 25,000 shares of Pentamation common stock. All of these
options are immediately exercisable. Upon completion of the merger, all such
options, if not previously exercised, will be assumed by SunGard. These options
will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set
forth in the option agreement under which they were issued and evidenced
(subject to the appropriate adjustments to the exercise price and number of
shares subject to the options based upon the merger exchange ratio.)

Voting Agreements

   In connection with the merger, Pentamation shareholders who own 612,884
shares of Pentamation common stock, constituting approximately 75% of the
Pentamation shares outstanding on the record date, have entered into voting
agreements with SunGard in which these shareholders have agreed to vote their
Pentamation shares in favor of the merger.

   Each Pentamation shareholder who executed a voting agreement also delivered
to SunGard an irrevocable proxy to vote their shares in favor of the merger. In
addition, each Pentamation shareholder who executed the

                                       20
<PAGE>

voting agreement with respect to shares owned beneficially, but not of record,
agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner of the
shares they beneficially owned to execute and deliver to SunGard an irrevocable
proxy to vote their shares in favor of the merger.

Escrow Agreement

   Under the escrow agreement, the escrow agent will maintain an account for
each Pentamation stockholder containing the stockholder's stock being held in
escrow in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. The escrowed
stock, representing 10% of the stock to be issued in connection with the
merger, will be held by the escrow agent in escrow for one year after
completion of the merger and used to satisfy any claims for indemnification by
SunGard under section 5.3 and section 14.1 of the reorganization agreement. See
"The Merger Documents--Escrow Agreement and Indemnification Claims".

Resale Restrictions

   The SunGard common stock issued in connection with the merger will be freely
transferable, except that shares issued to any Pentamation shareholder who is
an affiliate of Pentamation or who becomes an affiliate of SunGard are subject
to a number of restrictions on resale. An affiliate is defined generally as
including directors, executive officers and other persons who control a
company. Pentamation shareholders who may be deemed affiliates have executed
affiliate agreements which:

  .  prohibit the affiliate from selling or otherwise reducing his risk in
     any capital stock or options of Pentamation, and

  .  prohibit the affiliate from selling or otherwise reducing his risk in
     any capital stock or options of SunGard

during the period which begins 30 days prior to consummation of the merger and
ends on the earlier of:

  .  the date on which financial results covering at least 30 days of post-
     merger combined operations of SunGard and Pentamation have been
     published by SunGard, and

  .  the date the agreement is terminated.

   In addition, the affiliate agreements further prohibit the sale, transfer or
other disposition of SunGard common stock received by the affiliates in the
merger at any time after the restricted period referred to above unless the
sale, transfer or other disposition complies with the requirements of the
federal securities laws. The purpose of the affiliate agreements is to comply
with the requirements of federal securities laws and pooling of interests
accounting rules.

Rights of Dissenting Pentamation Shareholders

   The following discussion is not a complete statement of the law pertaining
to dissenters rights under Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, referred to
as the PA BCL, and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of section
1930 and Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PA BCL, which is referred to as
Subchapter D. Subchapter D is reprinted in its entirety as Appendix D to this
proxy statement/prospectus. Any Pentamation shareholder who desires to exercise
his or her dissenters rights should review carefully Subchapter D and is urged
to consult a legal advisor before electing or attempting to exercise their
rights. All references in Subchapter D to a "shareholder" and in this summary
to a "Pentamation shareholder" or a "holder of Pentamation stock" are to the
record holder of shares as to which dissenters rights are asserted.

   Subject to the exceptions stated below, holders of Pentamation stock who
comply with the applicable procedures summarized below will be entitled to
dissenters rights under Subchapter D. Voting against, abstaining from voting or
failing to vote on approval and adoption of the proposed merger will not
constitute a demand for appraisal within the meaning of Subchapter D.

                                       21
<PAGE>

   Pentamation shareholders electing to exercise dissenters rights under
Subchapter D must not vote for approval of the proposed merger. A vote by a
shareholder against the proposed merger is not required to exercise dissenters
rights. However, if a shareholder returns a signed proxy but does not specify a
vote against the proposed merger or a direction to abstain, the proxy, if not
revoked prior to the special meeting of shareholders, will be voted for
approval of the proposed merger, which will have the effect of waiving that
shareholder's dissenters rights. It is a condition to the closing of the merger
that holders of less than 10% of Pentamation's outstanding stock exercise their
dissenters rights.

   What Are Dissenters Rights? Pentamation shareholders who follow the
procedures of Subchapter D will be entitled to receive from Pentamation the
fair value of their shares, immediately before the effective time of the
Pentamation merger. Fair value takes into account all relevant factors but
excludes any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger.
Pentamation shareholders who elect to exercise their dissenters rights must
comply with all of the procedures to preserve those rights.

   Shares Eligible for Dissenters Rights. Generally, if you chose to assert
your dissenters rights, you must dissent as to all of the shares you own. The
PA BCL distinguishes between record holders and beneficial owners. You may
assert dissenters rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in your
name only if you are not the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to
which you do not exercise dissenters rights.

   Record Holder Who is Not the Beneficial Owner. A record holder may assert
dissenters rights on behalf of the beneficial owner. If you are a registered
owner and you wish to exercise dissenters rights on behalf of the beneficial
owner, you must disclose the name and address of the person or persons on whose
behalf you dissent. In that event, your rights shall be determined as if the
dissenting shares and the other shares were registered in the names of the
beneficial holders.

   Beneficial Owner Who is Not the Record Holder. A beneficial owner of
Pentamation common stock who is not also the record holder, may assert
dissenters rights. If you are a beneficial owner who is not the record holder
and you wish to assert your dissenters rights you must submit a written consent
of the record holder to the Secretary of Pentamation prior to the vote, but in
no event later than the Pentamation special meeting. You may not dissent with
respect to some but less than all shares you own.

Dissenters Rights Procedures

   Notice of Intention to Dissent. If you wish to exercise your dissenters
rights, you must follow the procedures set forth in Appendix D. You must file a
written notice of intention to demand the fair value of your shares with the
Secretary of Pentamation prior to the vote, but in no event later than the
Pentamation special meeting. You must not make any change in your beneficial
ownership of Pentamation shares from the date you file the notice until the
effective time of the merger. You must refrain from voting your shares for the
adoption of the merger proposal.

   Notice of Approval. If the Pentamation shareholders approve the merger
proposal, Pentamation will mail a notice to all dissenters who filed a notice
of intention to dissent prior to the vote on the merger proposal and who
refrained from voting for the adoption of the merger proposal. Pentamation
expects to mail the notice of approval promptly after the merger. The notice of
approval will state where and when a demand for payment must be sent and where
the certificates for eligible shares must be deposited in order to obtain
payment. The notice of approval will also supply a form for demanding payment
which includes a request for certification of the date on which the holder, or
the person on whose behalf the holder dissents, acquired beneficial ownership
of the shares. The demand form will be accompanied by a copy of Subchapter D.

   If you assert your dissenters rights, you must ensure that Pentamation
receives your demand form and your certificates on or before the demand
deadline. All mailings to Pentamation are at your risk. Accordingly,
Pentamation recommends that your notice of intention to dissent, demand form
and stock certificates be sent by certified mail only, by overnight courier or
by hand delivery.

                                       22
<PAGE>

   If you fail to file a notice of intention to dissent, fail to complete and
return the demand form, or fail to deposit stock certificates with Pentamation,
each within the specified time periods, you will lose your dissenters rights
under Subchapter D. You will retain all rights of a shareholder, or beneficial
owner, until those rights are modified by completion of the merger.

   Payment of Fair Value by Pentamation. Upon timely receipt of the completed
demand form, the PA BCL requires Pentamation to either: remit to dissenters who
complied with the procedures, the amount Pentamation estimates to be the fair
value for such dissenting shares; or give written notice that no such
remittance will be made.

   Pentamation will determine whether to make such a remittance or to defer
payment for such shares until completion of the necessary appraisal
proceedings. Pentamation may consider the number of shares, if any, with
respect to which shareholders dissented and any objections that may be raised
with respect to the standing of the dissenting shareholder.

   The remittance or notice will be accompanied by: (i) the closing balance
sheet and statement of income of Pentamation for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998 or the latest available interim financial statements; (ii) a
statement of Pentamation's estimate of the fair value of the shares; and (iii)
notice of the right of the dissenter to demand payment or supplemental payment,
as the case may be, accompanied by a copy of Subchapter D.

   Return of Deposited Certificates. If Pentamation does not remit the amount
of its estimate of the fair value of the shares, it will return any deposited
certificates with a notation that a demand for payment in accordance with
Subchapter D has been made. If shares carrying this notation are transferred
after that, each new certificate issued may bear a similar notation, together
with the name of the original dissenting holder or owner of such shares. A
transferee of such shares will not acquire by this transfer any rights in
Pentamation other than those which the original dissenter had after making
demand for payment of their fair value.

   Dissenting Shareholders Estimate of Fair Value. If Pentamation gives notice
of its estimate of the fair value of your shares, without remitting this
amount, or remits payment of its estimate of the fair value of your shares and
you believe that the amount remitted or stated is less than the fair value of
such shares, you may send to Pentamation your own estimate of the fair value of
the shares. Such estimate shall be deemed a demand for payment of the amount of
the deficiency. If you do not file a holder's estimate within 30 days after the
mailing by Pentamation of its remittance or notice, you will only be entitled
to the amount stated in the notice or remitted to you by Pentamation.

   Resort to Court for Relief. If, after the later of, 60 days after the
effective time of the merger or after the timely receipt of any holder's
estimate, demands remain unpaid, Pentamation may file an application for
relief, requesting the court determine the fair value of the shares. We cannot
assure you that Pentamation will file this application.

   In the court proceeding all dissenters, wherever residing, whose demands
have not been settled will be made parties to any such appraisal proceeding.
The court may appoint an appraiser to receive evidence and recommend a decision
on the issue of fair value. Each dissenter made a party will be entitled to
recover an amount equal to the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus
interest, or if Pentamation previously remitted any amount to the dissenter,
any amount by which the fair value of the dissenter's shares is found to exceed
the amount previously remitted, plus interest.

   If Pentamation fails to file an application for relief, any dissenter who
made a demand and who has not already settled his or her claim against
Pentamation may file an application for relief in the name of Pentamation at
any time within 30 days after the expiration of the 60- day period after the
merger or after the timely receipt of any holder's estimate. If a dissenter
does not file an application within the 30-day period, each dissenter entitled
to file an application shall be paid Pentamation's estimate of the fair value
of the shares and no more, and may bring an action to recover any amount not
previously remitted.

                                       23
<PAGE>

   Costs and Expenses of Court Proceedings. The costs and expenses of the court
proceedings, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the
appraiser appointed by the court, will be determined by the court and assessed
against Pentamation. The court may, however, apportion and assess any part of
the costs and expenses of court proceedings as it deems appropriate against all
or some of the dissenters who are parties and whose action in demanding
supplemental payment the court finds to be in bad faith. If Pentamation fails
to comply substantially with the requirements of Subchapter D, the court may
assess fees and expenses of counsel and of experts for the parties as it deems
appropriate against Pentamation and in favor of any or all dissenters. The
court may assess fees and expenses of counsel and experts against either
Pentamation or a dissenter, if the court finds that a party acted in bad faith.
If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter substantially
benefitted other dissenters similarly situated and should not be assessed
against Pentamation, it may award counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the
amounts awarded to the dissenters who benefitted.

   No Right to an Injunction. Under Pennsylvania corporate law, a Pentamation
shareholder has no right to obtain, in the absence of fraud or fundamental
unfairness, an injunction against the merger proposal, nor any right to
valuation and payment of the fair value of the holder's shares because of the
merger proposal, except to the extent provided by the dissenters rights
provisions of Subchapter D. Pennsylvania corporate law also provides that,
absent fraud or fundamental unfairness, the rights and remedies provided by
Subchapter D are exclusive.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

   The following is a summary description of the material United States federal
income tax consequences of the merger to Pentamation and the Pentamation
shareholders who receive SunGard common stock in the merger or perfect
dissenters' rights. This summary does not address tax considerations which may
affect the
treatment of special status taxpayers such as financial institutions, broker-
dealers, life insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, investment
companies and foreign taxpayers or of Pentamation shareholders who do not hold
their Pentamation stock as a capital asset at the date the merger is completed
or to the extent their Pentamation stock was received in connection with the
sale of real estate and automobiles by the GLS partnership. In addition, no
information is provided in this summary with respect to the tax consequences of
the merger either under applicable foreign, state or local laws or to persons
who acquired Pentamation common stock under employee stock options or otherwise
as compensation.

   The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
in effect on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, without consideration
of the particular facts or circumstances of any particular holder of
Pentamation stock. Pentamation and SunGard have not sought and will not seek
any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service, with respect to any of the
matters discussed in this summary. It is a condition to the closing that Blank
Rome Comisky & McCauley LLP, counsel to SunGard, render an opinion that the
merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Provided that the merger qualifies as a
statutory merger under applicable state law:

  .  the merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of
     Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of
     1986;

  .  no gain or loss will be recognized by SunGard upon the exchange of
     Pentamation stock solely in exchange for SunGard common stock;

  .  no gain or loss will be recognized by Pentamation shareholders upon the
     exchange of their Pentamation stock solely for SunGard common stock;

  .  the basis of SunGard common stock received by Pentamation shareholders
     in the merger will be the same as the basis of their Pentamation stock
     surrendered in exchange therefor;

  .  for capital gains purposes, the holding period of SunGard common stock
     received by Pentamation shareholders in the merger will include the
     period during which the Pentamation stock surrendered in exchange
     therefor was held, provided that the Pentamation stock is held as a
     capital asset at the date the merger is completed.

                                       24
<PAGE>

   This opinion will not address the federal income tax consequences with
respect to the SunGard stock received by GLS or its partners in connection with
the sale of real estate and automobiles by the GLS partnership to Pentamation
prior to the completion of the merger.

   A Pentamation shareholder who perfects dissenters rights with respect to his
or her shares of Pentamation stock, and who does not withdraw his or her
rights, should, in general, treat the difference between the tax basis of the
shares of Pentamation stock held by the Pentamation stockholder with respect to
which dissenters rights are perfected and the amount received in payment
therefor as capital gain or loss. However, depending on the Pentamation
shareholder's particular circumstances, this amount might be treated for
federal tax purposes as a dividend by SunGard.

   The foregoing is a general discussion of the material federal tax
consequences of the merger for Pentamation and Pentamation shareholders and is
included for general information only. The foregoing discussion does not take
into account the particular facts and circumstances of each Pentamation
shareholder's tax status and attributes. Accordingly, each Pentamation
shareholder should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the specific
tax consequences of the merger, including the application and effect of
federal, state, local and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes in
these tax laws.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

   The merger is intended to be accounted for as a pooling of interests for
financial reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. SunGard's obligation to complete the merger is conditioned upon its
receipt of letters from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, SunGard's independent
accountants, and Halbert, Katz & Co., P.C., Pentamation's independent
accountants, that the merger may be accounted for as a pooling of interests.

   SunGard has the right to waive the condition that the merger be accounted
for as a pooling of interests. If the merger is consummated but fails to
qualify for pooling of interests accounting treatment, then the transaction may
be accounted for as a purchase. Under that method, the fair market value of the
SunGard common stock issued in the merger would be recorded as the cost of
acquiring Pentamation's business. That cost would be allocated to the
individual assets of Pentamation that were acquired and liabilities of
Pentamation that were assumed according to their respective fair values. The
fair market value of the SunGard common stock to be issued in the merger is in
excess of the amounts at which the net assets are carried in Pentamation's
accounts. The excess would be allocated to intangible assets and amortized as
an expense over the estimated useful life of each intangible asset. As a
result, if the merger fails to qualify for pooling of interests accounting
treatment, and the transaction is accounted for under the purchase method, the
combined financial results of SunGard and Pentamation could be adversely
affected.

Regulatory Matters

   SunGard and Pentamation have filed notification and report forms with the
Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice in connection with the merger as required by the HSR Act. These filings
commenced a 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act which must elapse before
Pentamation and SunGard may complete the merger. SunGard and Pentamation
received early termination of the waiting period. The Department of Justice and
the Federal Trade Commission will continue to have the authority to challenge
the merger on antitrust grounds before or after the merger is completed even
though the waiting period ended. There can be no assurance that a challenge to
the merger on antitrust grounds will not be made, or if a challenge is made,
that SunGard and Pentamation would prevail or would not be required to
terminate the reorganization agreement, divest assets, license proprietary
technology to third parties or accept conditions in order to complete the
merger. SunGard does not have any obligation under the reorganization agreement
to dispose of any assets or make any changes to its operations or make any
commitments to any governmental agency even if these actions might facilitate
the completion of the merger.

New York Stock Exchange Listing

   SunGard will cause the shares of SunGard common stock to be issued in
connection with the merger to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange upon the
effective date of the merger.

                              THE MERGER DOCUMENTS

General

   The following is a summary of the material provisions of the merger
documents, consisting of the reorganization agreement and the merger agreement.
A copy of the reorganization agreement is attached as Appendix A to this proxy
statement/prospectus and a copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix
B to this proxy statement/prospectus. The merger documents are incorporated
into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference, and you are urged to read
them carefully.

   The merger documents provide for the merger of a newly-formed, wholly-owned
subsidiary of SunGard with and into Pentamation. As a result of the merger, the
SunGard subsidiary will cease to exist, Pentamation will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of SunGard and Pentamation shareholders will become stockholders of
SunGard. Pentamation will continue as the surviving corporation of the merger
and will retain all of its separate corporate existence, with all its rights
and powers unaffected by the merger. The merger will become effective upon the
filing of articles of merger with the Pennsylvania Secretary of the
Commonwealth or at any later time that may be specified in the articles of
merger. The filing of the articles of merger is anticipated to take place as
soon as practicable after the adoption and approval of the merger by the
Pentamation shareholders, if the other conditions to the merger are satisfied
or waived. We currently anticipate that the merger will be completed, and the
merger will be effective, shortly after the meeting of Pentamation shareholders
to approve the merger. There can be no assurance, however, that the conditions
to the merger will be satisfied by that time, or at all, or that the merger
documents will not be terminated. See "--Conditions to the Merger" and "The
Merger and Related Transactions--Regulatory Matters."

Merger Consideration

   Pentamation Common Stock. When the merger is completed, each outstanding
share of Pentamation common stock will be converted into the right to receive
SunGard common stock. The number of shares of SunGard common stock into which
each share of Pentamation common stock will be converted will vary based upon:

  .  the average of the closing sale prices of SunGard common stock over a 20
     trading day period ending two days prior to the effective date of the
     merger and

  .  the fair market value of the real estate and automobiles purchased by
     Pentamation from GLS, a partnership owned by Jeffrey P. Feather and
     David P. Bloys, less the debt to which such assets are subject. This net
     amount will be payable as part of the merger consideration by dividing
     that amount by the SunGard average stock price as determined above. The
     number of shares resulting from this calculation is sometimes referred
     to as the additional shares. It is expected that the fair market value
     less debt of these assets will be approximately $3,700,000 when the
     merger is completed.

   The actual exchange ratios will be determined as follows:

  .  if the average stock price is between $34 and $46, each share of
     Pentamation common stock will be converted into SunGard common stock
     determined by dividing (a) 915,000 shares of SunGard common stock plus
     the additional shares by (b) the number of Pentamation shares
     outstanding or issuable upon the exercise of stock options as of the
     date the merger is completed.

  .  if the average stock price is less than $34, each share of Pentamation
     common stock will be converted into SunGard common stock determined by
     dividing (a) the number of shares of SunGard common stock resulting from
     dividing $31,110,000 by the average stock price, but in no event more
     than 972,188 shares, plus the additional shares by (b) the number of
     Pentamation shares outstanding or issuable upon the exercise of stock
     options as of the date the merger is completed.

                                       26
<PAGE>

  .  if the average stock price is greater than $46, each share of
     Pentamation common stock will be converted into SunGard common stock
     determined by dividing (a) the number of shares of SunGard common stock
     resulting from dividing $42,090,000 by the average stock price, but in
     no event less
     than 876,875 shares, plus the additional shares by (b) the number of
     Pentamation shares outstanding or issuable upon the exercise of stock
     options as of the date the merger is completed.

   Listed below is the approximate exchange ratios which would apply if the
20-day average closing price of SunGard common stock was equal to the price
listed next to that ratio:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                         Then each share of
                                                         Pentamation common
                                                      stock would be converted
                                                         into the following
                                                         approximate number
               If the SunGard 20-day                        of shares of
             average closing price is:                 SunGard common stock:
             -------------------------                ------------------------
             <S>                                      <C>
                      $30.00                                 1.1536120
                       31.00                                 1.1536120
                       32.00                                 1.1536120
                       33.00                                 1.1186531
                  34.00 to 46.00                             1.0857520
                       47.00                                 1.0626508
                       48.00                                 1.0405122
                       49.00                                 1.0405122
</TABLE>

   Please note that because the exchange ratio will be based upon the average
closing price of SunGard common stock and because the market price of the
shares of SunGard common stock may fluctuate, Pentamation shareholders cannot
be sure as of the date of the special meeting of the market value of the
shares of SunGard common stock they will receive.

   It is a condition to Pentamation's obligation to complete the merger that
the average price of SunGard common stock over a 20 trading day period ending
two days prior to the effective date of the merger is greater than or equal to
$32 per share.

   No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of SunGard common stock will be
issued in connection with the merger. In lieu of fractional shares, the number
of shares of SunGard stock to be issued to each shareholder shall be rounded
up on down to the nearest whole number of shares of SunGard common stock.

Stock Options

   Upon completion of the merger, all rights with respect to Pentamation
common stock under each Pentamation option to acquire Pentamation common stock
then outstanding will be converted into and become rights to acquire SunGard
common stock, and SunGard will substitute a SunGard stock option in exchange
for each Pentamation option. As of the record date, there were options
outstanding to purchase a total of 25,000 shares of Pentamation common stock
all of which were held by Donald V. Appleton, President of Pentamation. In the
event such options have not been exercised by Mr. Appleton prior to the
effective date of the merger:

  .  the number of shares of SunGard common stock subject to each Pentamation
     option will be equal to the number of shares of Pentamation common stock
     subject to each Pentamation option immediately prior to the completion
     of the merger, multiplied by the merger exchange ratio, rounded to the
     nearest whole share; and

                                      27
<PAGE>

  .  the exercise price per share under each Pentamation option will be
     adjusted by dividing the exercise price per share under the Pentamation
     option by the merger exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent.

   The options will be subject to adjustment as appropriate to reflect any
stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification,
recapitalization or other similar transaction subsequent to the completion of
the merger.

Stock Ownership Following the Merger

   Based on the number of shares of Pentamation common stock issued and
outstanding as of the record date and assuming an average SunGard stock price
of $34.9375 during the 20 day measurement period, closing price per share of
SunGard common stock on June 29, 1999, an aggregate of approximately 1,020,903
shares of SunGard common stock will be issued to Pentamation shareholders.
Based on the number of shares of SunGard common stock issued and outstanding as
of April 30, 1999, and after giving effect to the additional shares of SunGard
common stock that are proposed to be issued in the merger, assuming no exercise
of outstanding options to purchase SunGard common stock or Pentamation common
stock, the former shareholders of Pentamation would hold approximately 0.9% of
SunGard's total issued and outstanding shares.

Exchange Procedures for Pentamation Stock

   SunGard will designate its transfer agent, Norwest Bank, N.A., to act as the
"exchange agent" under the merger documents and the escrow agreement. As soon
as is practicable after the date the merger is completed, SunGard or the
exchange agent will mail or deliver, to each Pentamation stockholder as of June
21, 1999, instructions for use in surrendering his or her Pentamation stock
certificates to the exchange agent. Upon the surrender of a Pentamation stock
certificate to the exchange agent in accordance with the instructions, the
exchange agent will exchange the Pentamation stock certificate for:

  .  new certificates representing 90% of the number of shares of SunGard
     common stock into which the shares of Pentamation stock represented by
     the Pentamation stock certificate have been converted in accordance with
     the merger documents, which will be promptly delivered as instructed by
     the holder, and

  .  new certificates for the balance of the number of shares of SunGard
     common stock into which the shares of Pentamation stock represented by
     the Pentamation stock certificate have been converted in accordance with
     the merger documents, which will be held in escrow and distributed in
     accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement.

If applicable, the new certificates will be accompanied by any distributions
due with respect to shares of SunGard common stock that were paid to SunGard's
shareholders of record as of a date between the date the merger is completed
and the date of distribution of the certificates. Until surrendered to the
exchange agent, each outstanding Pentamation stock certificate will be deemed
to evidence ownership of the number of shares of SunGard common stock into
which the shares of Pentamation stock have been converted in accordance with
the merger agreement, subject to the escrow requirement described above.

Escrow Agreement and Indemnification Claims

   In connection with the merger, Pentamation shareholders will be asked to
sign an escrow agreement with SunGard, a copy of which is attached as Appendix
C. It is a condition to SunGard's obligation to complete the merger that the
holders of at least 90% of Pentamation's outstanding stock execute the escrow
agreement. However, the terms of the escrow agreement will be binding on each
Pentamation shareholder by virtue of the merger and regardless of whether such
Pentamation shareholder has executed the escrow agreement.

                                       28
<PAGE>

   Under the escrow agreement, the escrow agent will maintain an account for
each Pentamation shareholder containing the shareholders' stock being held in
escrow in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement. The escrowed
stock, representing 10% of the stock to be issued to in connection with the
merger, will be held by the escrow agent in escrow and used to satisfy any
claims for indemnification by SunGard under section 5.3 or section 14.1 of the
reorganization agreement. The escrowed stock will be distributed to the
Pentamation shareholders one year after the date the merger is completed, less
the shares used to pay any claims made by SunGard for indemnification matters
under section 5.3 or section 14.1 of the reorganization agreement. For purposes
of paying indemnification claims, the shares will be valued based upon the
average of the closing sale prices of SunGard common stock during the 20
trading days ending two trading days prior to the completion of the merger.

   The escrow agreement provides that each of the Pentamation shareholders will
grant to Jeffrey P. Feather the full power and authority to represent them for
the purpose of handling claims under the escrow agreement, including settling
all related disputes, and agreeing to any waiver, consent or amendment under or
to the escrow agreement; provided that no waiver, consent or amendment will
affect the method of allocation of payments from the escrowed stock with
respect to any Pentamation shareholder who does not expressly consent to such
change.

   The escrow agreement provides for the indemnification of the exchange agent
by SunGard and the Pentamation shareholders from any action, claim or
proceeding, arising out of or relating in any way to the escrow agreement or
any transaction to which the escrow agreement relates. This indemnification
will not be available if the action, claim or proceeding is the result of the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of the escrow agent.

   A copy of the escrow agreement is attached as Appendix C.

Representations and Warranties

   The reorganization agreement contains statements and promises, called
representations and warranties, made by Pentamation and SunGard. Some of
Pentamation's representations and warranties relate to the following:

  .  organization of Pentamation and its subsidiaries;
  .  effect of the reorganization agreement;
  .  capital stock and ownership;
  .  financial and corporate records;
  .  compliance with law;
  .  financial statements;
  .  assets;
  .  obligations;
  .  operations since latest balance sheet;
  .  accounts receivable;
  .  tangible property;
  .  real property;
  .  environmental matters;
  .  software and intangibles;

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PENTAMATION

General

   Pentamation provides information systems for school districts and local
governments. Its information systems include the hardware, network design,
application software and implementation necessary to provide an integrated
solution to its customers' information requirements.

   Pentamation's revenues come from three primary sources: the sale of new
systems, implementation and other services associated with sales, and support
and maintenance services.

   Pentamation's growth over the years in revenue and income has come from
increased sales and an expanding customer base. The Company maintains its own
internal full-time sales force. In many cases, sales are completed through a
competitive process wherein the Company responds to requests for proposals from
government agencies and school districts.

   While the overall trend in revenues and profits has been positive, revenues
can fluctuate when viewed on a quarter to quarter or year to year basis.

   Pentamation utilizes line of credit bank financing to the extent necessary
to supplement the self funding of its operations.

Results of Operations

   Revenues. Net revenue for the six months ended March 31, 1999 totaled
$17,531,000, an increase of 36% from the same period in 1998. Revenues from
software licenses grew 95%, from $3,475,000 to $6,759,000, and software
training and installation revenues grew 158%, from $935,000 to $2,411,000. The
revenue and installation growth was attributable to strong backlog resulting
from the introduction of new products and increased sales performance in the
preceding year. Additionally, in September, 1998, Pentamation completed the
acquisition of TreSun, Inc., a Florida based supplier of application software
for local governments, which also accounted in part for the increased revenues.

   Revenues from software maintenance services grew 18%, from $3,297,000 to
$3,880,000, in the comparative six-month periods due to the increase in
software sales. Revenue per employee was $58,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1999, and $49,000 for the same period in 1998.

   Net revenue in 1998 increased 24% to $27,337,000 from $21,952,000 in 1997
and 18% from $23,254,000 in 1996. The increase was due to strong software sales
during 1997 and 1998, as well as the services associated with the
implementation of new sales.

   Due to the increase in installed systems, software maintenance revenue
increased 36% from 1996 to 1998. Sales per employee were $101,000, $90,000 and
$110,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

   Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1999 totaled
$16,982,000, an increase of 42% over the same period in 1998. This increase was
due to staff expansion and the use of additional office space and equipment.
Headcount increased from 275 at March 31, 1998 to 321 at March 31, 1999.
Operating margin was 3% for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 6% for the
same period in 1998. An expense of $485,000 and $922,000 for acceleration of
capitalized software in service was recorded for the periods ended September
30, 1998 and March 31, 1999 for certain capitalized software products, which in
management's view had no significant continuing value.

   Marketable securities held for certain company employees as part of a
deferred compensation plan are recorded as an asset. As such, increases and
decreases in market value of these securities result in increases and decreases
in compensation expense and corresponding increases and decreases in net
unrealized gains on marketable securities available for sale. Compensation
expense for the six months ended March 31, 1999 under these principles was
approximately $136,000. No such compensation expense was recorded for the six
months ended March 31, 1998.

                                       35
<PAGE>

   Operating expenses in 1998 increased 24% to $26,203,000 from $21,152,000 in
1997 and increased 22% from $21,547,000 in 1996. The increase was due primarily
to increased staffing levels required to support the new business and growing
customer base and the staffing and associated expenses necessary to insure that
Pentamation's software products are year 2000 compliant.

   Headcount increased from 1996 to 1998 by 90, and payroll expenses increased
42% from 1996 to 1998. Operating margins were 4%, 4% and 7% in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

   Income Tax. Income tax expense for the year ended September 30, 1998 was
$389,000, an effective rate of 38% compared to 39% and 36% for the same period
in 1997 and 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At March 31, 1999, cash was up by $168,000 from a year earlier. This change
was the result of fluctuations in sales and collections, which can vary greatly
from month to month due to timing of sales and billing. Receivables were
$8,325,000, up from $6,351,000 a year earlier, due to higher sales. The ratio
of total current assets to total current liabilities was 0.83:1 at March 31,
1999 and 1.17:1 at March 31,1998.

   At September 30, 1998, Pentamation had cash of $425,000, up from $137,000 at
September 30, 1997. Receivables at September 30, 1998 were $8,145,000 and the
ratio of total current assets to total current liabilities was 0.85:1. Cash at
September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 was $136,000 and $412,000. The ratio
of current total assets to total current liabilities was 1.00:1 and 1.01:1 at
September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996.

   As of March 31, 1999, Pentamation had an unsecured line of credit of
$5,000,000 from a local bank. This line of credit was $5,000,000, $3,250,000
and $3,000,000 at September 30, 1998, September 30, 1997 and September 30,
1996, respectively. Amounts outstanding were $1,250,000, $1,300,000 and $0 on
the same dates.

As a result, the rights of stockholders of SunGard are governed by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, referred to as the DGCL, the restated certificate of
incorporation of SunGard and the amended and restated bylaws of SunGard, and
the rights of shareholders of Pentamation are governed by the Pennsylvania
Business Corporation Law, referred to as the PA BCL, the Pentamation articles
of incorporation and the Pentamation bylaws. If the merger is consummated, the
shareholders of Pentamation will become stockholders of SunGard. The following
is a summary of the material differences between the rights of holders of
Pentamation common stock and the rights of holders of SunGard common stock.
These differences arise from differences between the DGCL and the PA BCL, as
well as from differences between the corporate governing instruments of SunGard
and Pentamation. This summary does not purport to identify all of the
differences that may be material to Pentamation shareholders and is subject to
the detailed provisions of the relevant laws and governing instruments. This
summary should be read in conjunction with "Comparison of Capital Stock."

Percentage of Voting Stock; Influence Over Affairs

   Upon completion of the merger, the percentage ownership of SunGard by each
former Pentamation shareholder will be substantially less than the Pentamation
shareholder's current percentage ownership of Pentamation. Accordingly, former
Pentamation shareholders will have a significantly smaller voting influence
over the affairs of SunGard than they currently enjoy over the affairs of
Pentamation.

Dividends

   SunGard. Under the DGCL, a corporation may pay dividends out of surplus,
defined as the excess of net assets over capital. If no such surplus exists,
dividends may be paid out of its net profits for the fiscal year, provided that
dividends may not be paid out of net profits if the capital of such corporation
is less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by the outstanding
stock of all classes having a preference upon distribution of assets.

   SunGard's certificate provides that when and as dividends are declared on
the common stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally,
share for share, in the dividends. Under SunGard's certificate, holders of
preferred stock will be entitled to dividends as designated by the board of
directors.

   Pentamation. Under the PA BCL, a corporation is prohibited from making a
distribution to shareholders if, after giving effect thereto:

  .  that corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in
     the usual course of business; or

  .  the total assets of that corporation would be less than the sum of its
     total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if that
     corporation were then dissolved, to satisfy the rights of shareholders
     having superior preferential rights upon dissolution to the shareholders
     receiving such distribution. For the purpose of valuing the assets of
     the corporation, the board of directors may base its determination on
     one or more of the following: the book value, or the current value, of
     the corporation's assets and liabilities, unrealized appreciation and
     depreciation of the corporation's assets and liabilities or any other
     method that is reasonable in the circumstances.

                                       39
<PAGE>

   The Pentamation bylaws provide that, subject to the PA BCL and the
Pentamation charter, the board of directors may declare dividends upon the
outstanding shares of the corporation.

Directors

   SunGard. SunGard's bylaws provide that its board of directors will not
consist of less than two nor more than eight directors, with the exact number
to be determined by the board of directors. The number of directors is
currently fixed at eight. Directors are elected at each annual meeting of
stockholders and serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until
their directors are duly elected and qualified.

   Pentamation. Pentamation's bylaws provide that its board of directors will
consist of seven directors; provided that (i) whenever all the shares of
Pentamation are owned beneficially and of record by either one or two
shareholders, the number of directors may be less than three, but not less than
the number of shareholders; and (ii) whenever there are three or more
shareholders, there must be at least three directors.

Cumulative Voting

   SunGard. Because SunGard's certificate does not provide for cumulative
voting for directors, each stockholder who is entitled to vote at an election
of directors has the right to vote the number of shares owned by him or her for
as many persons as there are directors to be elected, but may not cumulate his
or her votes for directors.

   Pentamation. Because Pentamation's articles do not opt-out of cumulative
voting for directors, each shareholder who is entitled to vote at an election
of directors, has the right to multiply the number of votes to which he or she
may be entitled by the total number of directors to be elected in the same
election and may cast the whole number of his votes for one candidate or may
distribute them among any two or more candidates.

Limitation on Directors Liability; Indemnification of Officers and Directors

   SunGard. The DGCL provides, in substance, that Delaware corporations have
the power, under specified circumstances, to indemnify their directors,
officers, employees and agents in connection with actions, suits or proceedings
brought against them by third parties and in connection with actions or suits
by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that they were or
are such directors, officers, employees and agents, against expenses (including
attorney's fees) and, in the case of actions, suits or proceedings brought by
third parties, against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred in any such action, suit or proceedings.

   SunGard's bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

   As permitted by the DGCL, SunGard's certificate eliminates the personal
liability of its directors to SunGard and its stockholders, in certain
circumstances, for monetary damages arising from a breach of the director's
duty of care. Additionally, SunGard has entered into indemnification agreements
(in the form approved by SunGard's stockholders at its 1987 Annual Meeting)
with each of its directors and officers. These agreements provide
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and, in certain
respects, provide greater protection than that specifically provided by the
DGCL. The agreements do not provide indemnification for, among other things,
conduct that is adjudged to be fraud, deliberate dishonesty or willful
misconduct.

   SunGard has obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance that
covers certain liabilities, including liabilities to SunGard and its
stockholders, in the amount of $20 million.


                                       40
<PAGE>

   Pentamation. Under the PA BCL, a corporation may include in its bylaws a
provision, adopted by a vote of its shareholders, which eliminates the personal
liability of its directors, as such, for monetary damages for any action taken
or the failure to take any action unless: (i) such directors have breached or
failed to perform their duties; and (ii) the breach or failure to perform
constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. A Pennsylvania
corporation is not empowered, however, to eliminate personal liability where
the responsibility or liability of a director is pursuant to any criminal
statute or is for the payment of taxes pursuant to any federal, state or local
law. The Pentamation articles and bylaws do not contain such a provision.

   The provisions of the PA BCL regarding indemnification are substantially
similar to those of the DGCL. Unlike the DGCL, however, the PA BCL expressly
permits indemnification in connection with any action, including a derivative
action, unless a court determines that the acts or omissions giving rise to the
claim constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. The Pentamation bylaws
provide for indemnification of representatives against liability incurred by
reason of the fact that such representative was serving in an indemnified
capacity within the scope permitted by the PA BCL, so long as the indemnified
person acted in good faith, in what he reasonably believed to be in the best
interest of Pentamation, and in the case of a criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

   Pentamation has not obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance.

Call of Special Meetings of Shareholders

   SunGard. SunGard's bylaws provide that a special meeting of its stockholders
may be called at any time by the board, the chairman of the board or the
president, and must be called upon written request from the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of SunGard entitled to vote
at the meeting.

   Pentamation. Under the PA BCL, special meetings of shareholders may be
called by the board of directors, by any officers or by any other persons as
provided in the bylaws, and, unless otherwise provided in the articles, by
shareholders entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders
are entitled to cast at a particular meeting. The Pentamation bylaws, however,
provide that special meetings of the shareholders may only be called at any
time by the President, and not any other officers of Pentamation.

Action of Shareholders Without a Meeting

   SunGard. SunGard's bylaws provide that any action required to or which may
be taken at an annual or special meeting may be taken without a meeting by a
consent in writing by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the action at a meeting
at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

   Pentamation. Under the PA BCL, any corporate action may be taken without a
meeting by unanimous written consent unless otherwise restricted by the bylaws
of the corporation, and may be taken with partial written consent if the bylaws
of a corporation so provide. The Pentamation bylaws allow shareholders to take
action without a meeting only by unanimous written consent.

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation

   SunGard. Under the DGCL, unless the certificate of incorporation imposes a
higher voting requirement, the approval of the holders of a majority of the
stock entitled to vote, and a majority of each class entitled to vote as a
class, is required in order to amend any provision of a corporation's
certificate of incorporation. SunGard's certificate does not impose any higher
voting requirement with respect to the amendment of its certificate of
incorporation.

                                       41
<PAGE>

   Pentamation. Under the PA BCL, an amendment to the articles requires the
approval of the board of directors followed by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote thereon and, if
any class or series of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in each such class vote.
Furthermore, the PA BCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the
articles, an amendment of the articles of a corporation need not be adopted by
the board of directors prior to its submission to the shareholders for approval
if it is proposed by a petition of shareholders entitled to cast at least 10%
of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast thereon. Pentamation's
articles do not require any higher voting requirements with respect to the
amendment of the articles.

Amendments to Bylaws

   SunGard. SunGard's bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or
in part, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of SunGard's
board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of SunGard entitled to vote.

   Pentamation. The Pentamation bylaws may be amended or repealed by the vote
of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all
Pentamation's shareholders are entitled to cast or by the vote of a majority of
the directors present at any regular or special meeting of the Board of
Directors at which a quorum is present.

Certain Business Combinations

   SunGard. The DGCL provides that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the
approval of the holders of a majority of the stock entitled to vote is required
for any merger or consolidation of a Delaware corporation with another
corporation or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of that
corporation's assets. SunGard's certificate does not impose any higher voting
requirements for the approval of these actions.

   Section 203 of the DGCL also restricts certain transactions between a
corporation organized under Delaware law (or its majority-owned subsidiaries)
and any person holding 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting
stock, who together with his, her or its affiliates or associates is defined as
an "Interested Stockholder." Section 203 prevents, for a period of three years
following the date that a person becomes an Interested Stockholder, the
following types of transactions between the corporation and the Interested
Stockholder (unless certain conditions, described below, are met):

  .  mergers or consolidations;

  .  sales, leases, exchanges or other transfers of 10% or more of the
     aggregate assets of the corporation;

  .  issuances or transfers by the corporation of any stock of the
     corporation which would have the effect of increasing the Interested
     Stockholder's proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of
     the corporation;

  .  any other transaction which has the effect of increasing the
     proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the
     corporation which is owned by the Interested Stockholder; and

  .  receipt by the Interested Stockholder of the benefit (except
     proportionately as a stockholder) of loans, advances, guarantees,
     pledges or other financial benefits provided by the corporation.

   The three-year ban does not apply if either the proposed transaction or the
transaction by which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested
Stockholder is approved by the board of directors of the corporation prior to
the date the person becomes an Interested Stockholder. Additionally, an
Interested Stockholder may avoid the statutory restriction if, upon the
consummation of the transaction where the stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder, the stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock
of the corporation without regard to those shares owned by the corporation's
officers and directors and certain employee stock plans. Business combinations
are also permitted within the three-year period if

                                       42
<PAGE>

approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special
meeting of stockholders by the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding
voting stock not owned by the Interested Stockholder. In addition, any
transaction is exempt from the statutory ban if it is proposed at a time when
the corporation has proposed, and a majority of certain continuing directors of
the corporation have approved, a transaction with a party who is not an
Interested Stockholder of the corporation (or who becomes such with board
approval) if the proposed transaction involves:

  .  certain mergers or consolidations involving the corporation;

  .  a sale or other transfer of over 50% of the aggregate assets of the
     corporation; or

  .  a tender or exchange offer for 50% or more of the outstanding voting
     stock of the corporation.

   Section 203 does not apply to corporations which do not have a class of
voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange, authorized for
quotation with a registered national securities association, or held of record
by more than 2,000 shareholders. Otherwise, section 203 applies automatically
to Delaware corporations unless the corporation's original certificate of
incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by
section 203 or the corporation has amended its certificate of incorporation or
bylaws in accordance with section 203 to provide that the corporation will not
be governed by section 203. SunGard has not adopted an amendment to its
certificate or bylaws exempting it from section 203, which accordingly applies
to SunGard.

   Pentamation. The PA BCL provides that, subject to certain limited
exceptions, the approval of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is
required for any merger or consolidation of a Pennsylvania corporation with
another corporation or the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all
of that corporation's assets. Under the PA BCL, an abstention is not considered
a vote cast and therefore has no effect on the outcome of the shareholder vote.
Pentamation's articles do not impose any higher voting requirements for the
approval of these actions. Although the PA BCL contains provisions that may
restrict certain business combinations between a corporation and interested
shareholders, these statutory restrictions do not apply to Pentamation.

      Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements

                                  (Unaudited)

Note 1--Basis of Presentation

   The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented
based solely on historical financial results of SunGard and Pentamation, and is
not necessarily indicative of the results which would have been obtained if the
acquisition of Pentamation by SunGard had actually occurred during the periods
presented.

   All historical financial information of SunGard has been restated, as
required by generally accepted accounting principles, to include the historical
financial information of Automated Securities Clearance, Ltd., Sterling
Wentworth Corporation, and FDP Corporation, all of which were acquired by
SunGard in pooling-of-interests transactions during the first four months of
1999.

   Pentamation has a fiscal year which ends on September 30. SunGard reports
all financial information on a calendar year basis. The pro forma financial
information for the periods presented combine SunGard's calendar year with
Pentamation's fiscal year, except that the three months ended March 31, 1999
presents Pentamation as if their fiscal period were converted to a calendar
period as of December 31, 1998.

Note 2--Exchange Ratio

   Under the agreement, excluding the purchase of automobiles and facilities
(see Note 5), each outstanding Pentamation common share will be converted into
a maximum of 1.1536120 shares of SunGard Common Stock. The actual exchange
ratio, excluding the purchase of automobiles and facilities (see Note 5), will
range from 1.0405122 to 1.1536120, depending upon the average closing price of
SunGard Common Stock during the 20 trading day period ending 2 days prior to
the effective date of the arrangement. All options to purchase Pentamation
common shares will be converted into options to purchase shares of SunGard
Common Stock, using the same exchange ratio.

   The maximum exchange ratio was used in computing shares and per share
amounts in the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial
information.

Note 3--Merger Costs

   All pro forma information excludes merger costs, estimated to be
approximately $600,000. These costs are principally comprised of legal,
accounting and printing costs.

Note 4--Antidilutive shares

   The number of dilutive shares used in the calculation of pro forma diluted
net income per common share during the three months ended March 31, 1999
excludes 4,509,000 shares because those shares are antidilutive due to a net
loss during the period.

Note 5--Automobiles and Facilities

   Under the Reorganization Agreement, facilities and automobiles currently
leased by Pentamation and owned by a partnership controlled by certain
affiliates of Pentamation will be sold to Pentamation prior to the consummation
of the merger between SunGard and Pentamation. Also, the debt directly related
to the automobiles and facilities will be assumed by SunGard. Additional shares
of SunGard Common Stock will be issued based on the fair market value of the
automobiles and facilities, as determined by an independent appraisal, less the
fair market value of the debt directly related to the automobiles and
facilities. The number of SunGard shares estimated to be issued is
approximately 110,000 shares. The issuance of these additional shares is not
material to the pro forma financial information presented. The pro forma
adjustments represent the approximate book value of the automobiles and
facilities, and the related debt. The estimated costs for interest,
depreciation, taxes, and operating expenses offset the rent expense paid by
Pentamation to the Partnership.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pentamation Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

   We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pentamation
Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

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

   In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Pentamation Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1998 and
1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                       September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996

Note 1 Operations and summary of significant accounting policies

 Nature of operations

   Pentamation Enterprises, Inc. ("the Company"), which was organized in 1969,
markets application software and associated computer hardware, software
support, hardware maintenance and technical services primarily to K-12
education institutions and local governments throughout the United States.
Payments for software products can be extended beyond one year, depending on
customer's installation schedule. The Company grants credit in the normal
course of business to its customers in those sectors and requires no
collateral. There is no geographical concentration of credit risk.

   The financial statements include the accounts of Pentamation Enterprises,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, individually and collectively referred
to as "the Company". All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

   The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Revenue and cost recognition

 Software

   The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of all software and hardware
portions of sales contracts. Revenue from installation of software and hardware
based on contractual agreements is recognized over the period the installation
is performed.

   Software and hardware costs are accrued upon the recognition of the related
revenue. Installation costs are recognized as incurred.

 Technical and maintenance (including deferred revenue recognition)

   The Company provides technical and maintenance services to its customers
under various contractual arrangements with the remaining terms ranging from
one month to five years. The Company recognizes revenue as services are
performed over the terms of the related contracts. Computer software
maintenance and customer support costs and the costs of developing computer
programs for customers for a fee under contractual arrangements are expensed as
incurred.

 Capitalized computer software development costs and research and development
 expenditures

   Capitalized computer software development costs consist of costs to
internally develop software and externally purchase software. Capitalization of
software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility. The ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software
development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technologies. Management monitors the
estimates that affect the recoverability of these development costs.

   Capitalized software development costs and amortization and accumulated
amortization of capitalized software development costs are as follows:

</TABLE>

Included in capitalized software development costs is capitalized interest cost
of $237,000, $187,000 and $45,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

   Capitalized computer software in service includes externally purchased
computer software at its fair market value at the time of acquisition of
$3,373,000 and $2,083,000 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

   The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs over their
expected life (generally 5 to 7 years). Due to inherent technological changes
in the software development industry, the period over which such capitalized
software costs are being amortized may have to be accelerated.

   During 1998, management determined that the net book value of certain
Company capitalized software products had no continuing value. Accordingly, an
expense of approximately $485,000 for acceleration of amortization of
capitalized software in service was recorded.

   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and approximated
$408,000, $263,000 and $288,000 in the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Substantially all of the Company's research and development
activities relate to development of new computer software to be marketed and
sold. Research and development activities include costs incurred for the
conceptual formulation or translation of knowledge into a design to establish
technological feasibility.

 Equipment, furniture and fixtures and depreciation

   Equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost. The cost and
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is eliminated from the
accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in income.

   Normal maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred; major
renewals or improvements which extend the life or increase the value of assets
are capitalized.

   The cost of equipment and furniture and fixtures is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives generally used for major asset categories are as

   In prior years, the Company reduced its effective state tax rate resulting
principally from a change in states where the Company conducts its business.
This change, which is expected to continue in the future, resulted in a
decrease in the Company's current and deferred income tax liabilities.
Accordingly, the Company's current and deferred income tax liabilities are
based on the reduced rate applicable to subsequent years.

   The components of the provision for income tax expense are as follows:

can be up to a maximum of 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions. The
Plan establishes vesting requirements upon the Company's contribution based on
years of service. Forfeitures are returned to the Company. The Company's
contribution to the Plan for the year ended September 30, 1998 was
approximately $260,000, net of forfeitures of approximately $10,000. The
Company's contributions to the Plan for the years ended September 30, 1997 and
1996, were approximately $239,000 and $202,000, respectively.

Note 8 Stock option

   Effective February 1, 1998, as part of a revised executive compensation
agreement for the Company's newly promoted President and Chief Operating
Officer, the Company granted a stock option for the purchase of 25,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. This option vested immediately at a price of
$6.00 per share and expires January 31, 2005. As of September 30, 1998, these
shares had not been exercised or forfeited and remain exercisable.

   The Company applies APB Opinion #25 in accounting for this stock option.
Accordingly, no compensation was recognized for the year ended September 30,
1998. Had compensation costs been determined on the basis of fair value
pursuant to FASB Statement No. 123, net income would have reduced as follows:

the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $1,195,000, $995,000 and
$890,000, respectively. Minimum rental commitments at September 30, 1998, under
the GLS leases approximated $7,872,000, exclusive of operating costs which are
the responsibility of the Company and possible rent increases for consumer
price index adjustments.

 Other commitments

   The Company has entered into an agreement with its two major shareholders to
repurchase 200,000 shares of stock from each shareholder in the event of death,
permanent disability or retirement. Pursuant to the agreement, the purchase
price of such shares is 175% of the Company's net book value per share as of
the close of the latest fiscal year end. Payments under this agreement could be
extended by the Company for a period of 10 years. Disability and term life
insurance on each of the two major shareholders would fund a majority of this
purchase. This agreement terminates if the Company is purchased or merges with
another company in a pooling of interest transaction.

 Cash

   The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash.

 Year 2000

   Management has assessed the Company's exposure to date sensitive computer
software programs that may not be operative subsequent to 1999 and has
implemented a requisite course of action to minimize Year 2000 risk and ensure
that neither significant costs nor disruption of normal business operations are
encountered. However, because there is no guarantee that all systems of outside
vendors or other entities affecting the Company's operations will be 2000
compliant, the Company remains susceptible to consequences of the Year 2000
issue.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pentamation Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

   We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Pentamation Enterprises,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, comprehensive income
and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

   We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

   Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1--Operations and summary of significant accounting policies

 Nature of operations

   Pentamation Enterprises, Inc. ("the Company"), which was organized in 1969,
markets application software and associated computer hardware, software
support, hardware maintenance and technical services primarily to K-12
education institutions and local governments throughout the United States.
Payments for software products can be extended beyond one year, depending on
customer's installation schedule. The Company grants credit in the normal
course of business to its customers in those sectors and requires no
collateral. There is no geographical concentration of credit risk.

   The financial statements include the accounts of Pentamation Enterprises,
Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, individually and collectively referred
to as "the Company". All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

   The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Revenue recognition

   Prior to October 1, 1998:

     The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of all software and
  hardware portions of sales contracts. Revenue from installation of software
  and hardware based on contractual agreements is recognized over the period
  the installation is performed.

     Software and hardware costs are accrued upon the recognition of the
  related revenue. Installation costs are recognized as incurred.

     The Company provides technical and maintenance services to its customers
  under various contractual arrangements with the remaining terms ranging
  from one month to five years. The Company recognizes revenue as services
  are performed over the terms of the related contracts. Computer software
  maintenance and customer support costs and the costs of developing computer
  programs for customers for a fee under contractual arrangements are
  expensed as incurred.

   Subsequent to September 30, 1998:

     Effective October 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of
  Statement of Position 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, as amended.
  Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of all software
  and hardware portions of sale contracts. For multiple element license
  contracts, the license fee is allocated to the various elements based on
  fair value. When a multiple element arrangement includes rights to
  postcontract customer support (principally maintenance, technical and
  training services) revenue is recognized as services are performed over the
  term of the contract. For arrangements to deliver software that require
  significant modifications or customization, as specified in the contract,
  the application revenue is recognized on the percentage of completion
  method.

 Capitalized computer software development costs and research and development
 expenditures

   Capitalized computer software development costs consist of costs to
internally develop software and externally purchase software. Capitalization of
software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological
feasibility. The ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software
development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to
certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological
feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life and
changes in software and hardware technologies. Management monitors the
estimates that affect the recoverability of these development costs.

   Capitalized software development costs and amortization and accumulated
amortization of capitalized software development costs are as follows:

   Six months ended March 31, 1998...... $1,600,000   $5,749,000   $  380,000
                                         ==========   ==========   ==========
</TABLE>

   Included in capitalized software development costs is capitalized interest
cost of $67,000 and $134,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   Capitalized computer software in service includes externally purchased
computer software at its fair market value at the time of acquisition of
$3,465,000 and $2,189,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

   The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs over their
expected life (generally 5 to 7 years). Due to inherent technological changes
in the software development industry, the period over which such capitalized
software costs are being amortized may have to be accelerated.

   During the six months ended March 31, 1999, management determined that the
net book value of certain Company capitalized software products had no
continuing value. Accordingly, an expense of approximately $922,000 for
acceleration of capitalized software in service was recorded.

   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and approximated
$228,000 and $211,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Substantially all of the Company's research and development
activities relate to development of new computer software to be marketed and
sold. Research and development activities include costs incurred for the
conceptual formulation or translation of knowledge into a design to establish
technological feasibility.

 Equipment, furniture and fixtures and depreciation

   Equipment and furniture and fixtures are stated at cost. The cost and
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is eliminated from the
accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in income.

   Normal maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred; major
renewals or improvements which extend the life or increase the value of assets
are capitalized.

   The cost of equipment and furniture and fixtures is depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives generally used for major asset categories are as

 Marketable securities available for sale

   Marketable securities available for sale are valued at their market value in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115. The gain
or loss on sale of marketable securities is computed using the specific
identification method.

 Advertising

   Advertising costs are charged directly to operations when incurred. Total
advertising costs incurred during the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was approximately $58,000 and $32,000, respectively.

 Reclassifications

   The financial statements for the year six months ended March 31, 1998 have
been reclassified to conform with the presentation for the six months ended
March 31, 1999.

 Future adoption of Statement of Financial Standards No. 133

   The Company anticipates the future adoption of Statement of Financial
Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

Note 2--Acquisition

   On September 29, 1998, the Company acquired TreSun Corporation in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. TreSun Corporation is primarily
engaged in designing, developing, selling, installing and maintaining
proprietary data processing software systems for local governments. The results
of operations of the TreSun Corporation have been included in the accompanying
financial statements since the date of acquisition. The cost of the acquisition
was approximately $1,724,000, which includes a value of $1,114,000 for the
capitalized software acquired (purchase software). This software is being
amortized over 7 years. The acquisition agreement also provided for contingent
consideration of 20% of the software revenues collected in excess of $200,000
during the first 12 months after the closing date; 20% of the software revenues
collected in excess of $200,000 during the second 12 months following the
closing date and a final payment of 20% of the software revenues collected
during the 36 months following the closing date less any contingency payments
previously paid. No accrual for contingent consideration has been recorded.

Note 3--Marketable securities available for sale

   Marketable securities available for sale are Company assets held for certain
Company employees as part of a deferred compensation plan. As such, increases
and decreases in market value of these assets result in

Note 4--Comprehensive income

   During the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income. This statement requires the reporting of comprehensive income in
addition to net income from operations. Comprehensive income is a more
comprehensive inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes
disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been
recognized in the calculation of net income.

   At March 31, 1999, the Company's Other Comprehensive Income is the
unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities.

Note 5--Notes receivable, officers and employees

   Included in notes receivable, officers and employees are two notes
receivable aggregating $560,976 ($685,000 at March 31, 1998) from officers of
the Company. These notes bear interest at the Internal Revenue adjusted
applicable federal rate (approximately 5% at March 31, 1999 and 1998) and
mature in June, 2002.

   In prior years, the Company reduced its effective state tax rate resulting
principally from a change in states where the Company conducts its business.
This change, which is expected to continue in the future, resulted in a
decrease in the Company's current and deferred income tax liabilities.
Accordingly, the Company's current and deferred income tax liabilities are
based on the reduced rate applicable to subsequent years.

   The components of the provision for income tax expense are as follows:

Note 8--Salary redirection and savings plan

   The Company established a Salary Redirection and Savings Plan under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Plan") in October 1984. All employees
are eligible to participate in the Plan at the beginning of the calendar
quarter following employment. The Company matches employee contributions which
can be up to a maximum of 50% of the first 6% of employee contributions. The
Plan establishes vesting requirements upon the Company's contribution based on
years of service. Forfeitures are returned to the Company. The Company's
contribution to the Plan for the six months ended March 31, 1999 was
approximately $151,000, net of forfeitures of approximately $27,000. The
Company's contribution to the Plan for the six months ended March 31, 1998 was
approximately $133,900.

Note 9--Stock option

   Effective February 1, 1998, as part of a revised executive compensation
agreement for the Company's newly promoted President and Chief Operating
Officer, the Company granted a stock option for the purchase of 25,000 shares
of the Company's common stock. This option vested immediately at a price of
$6.00 per share and expires January 31, 2005. As of March 31, 1999, these
shares had not been exercised or forfeited and remain exercisable.

   The Company applies APB Opinion #25 in accounting for this stock option.
Accordingly, no compensation was recognized in the financial statements for the
six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Had compensation costs been
determined on the basis of fair value, pursuant to FASB Statement No. 123, net
income as reported would have been as follows.

   Because there is no market for the Company's stock, fair value of these
options was determined based on the value of treasury shares purchased prior to
and after the issuance of this stock option.

 Operating leases

   The Company's leasing arrangements are primarily for the use of office space
for its operations, equipment and vehicles. Total rental expense, including
short-term cancelable leases, for the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was approximately $703,000 and $642,000, respectively.

   The information above includes data relating to leases of certain vehicles
and real estate from GLS, a partnership controlled by certain officers and
principal shareholders of the Company. Rental expense under the GLS leases for
the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $605,000 and $594,000,
respectively. Minimum rental commitments at March 31, 1999, under the GLS
leases approximated $7,590,000, exclusive of operating costs which are the
responsibility of the Company and possible rent increases for consumer price
index adjustments.

 Other commitments

   The Company has entered into an agreement with its two major shareholders to
repurchase 200,000 shares of stock from each shareholder in the event of death,
permanent disability or retirement. Pursuant to the agreement, the purchase
price of such shares is 175% of the Company's net book value per share as of
the close of the latest fiscal year end. Payments under this agreement could be
extended by the Company for a period of 10 years. Disability and term life
insurance on each of the two major shareholders would fund a majority of this
purchase. This agreement terminates if the Company is purchased or merges with
another company in a pooling of interest transaction.

 Cash

   The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash.

 Year 2000

   Management has assessed the Company's exposure to date sensitive computer
software programs that may not be operative subsequent to 1999 and has
implemented a requisite course of action to minimize Year 2000 risk and ensure
that neither significant costs nor disruption of normal business operations are
encountered. However, because there is no guarantee that all systems of outside
vendors or other entities affecting the Company's operations will be 2000
compliant, the Company remains susceptible to consequences of the Year 2000
issue.

  any Contract or Law, and no notice or threat from any lessor, governmental
  body or other Person has been received by any of the Pentamation Companies
  or served upon any such Pentamation Real Property claiming any violation

  the zoning or use any of the Pentamation Real Property. To our knowledge,
  no portion of any Pentamation Real Property is within an identified flood
  plain or other designated flood hazard area as established under any Law or

  covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights-of-way or easements which may
  affect the Pentamation Real Property or any portion(s) thereof which
  require performance or compliance by the owner of the Pentamation Real
  Property and no condition or circumstance exists which with the giving of
  notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a default or breach
  by Pentamation, GLS nor, to our knowledge, any other party, under any such
  Leases or other leases, covenants, conditions, restrictions, rights-of-way
  or easements.

     (d) Schedule 3.12 includes a list of all of the Service Contracts

  of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default
  thereunder. All of the Service Contracts are the result of bona fide arms
  length negotiations between the parties thereto, and Pentamation has no
  interest in any of the parties providing services thereunder. Neither
  Pentamation nor its Principal Shareholders has received any notice that any

  Contracts, or the Licenses, any portion thereof or the use thereof or which
  could impact the revenues or expenses of the Bethlehem Real Property.

     (e) The Pentamation Companies and GLS are not, and to our knowledge no
  other party is, currently contesting the real estate tax assessments for
  the Bethlehem Real Property. The Land is separately assessed for real
  property tax assessment purposes and is not combined with any other real
  property for tax assessment purposes.

     (f) Neither Pentamation, the Principal Shareholders, nor GLS has
  received written notice from any Governmental Authority, any of the
  Tenants, any insurer, or any other party (a) that either the Pentamation
  Real Property or the use or operation thereof is currently in violation of
  any Law and to our knowledge, including GLS, no such notice has been
  issued; (b) that Pentamation or GLS is currently in violation or with the
  passage of time will be in violation of any Laws or the recommendations of
  any insurance carrier or board of fire underwriters affecting the
  Pentamation Real Property or that any investigation has commenced or is
  contemplated regarding any such possible violation, or (c) asserting that
  Pentamation or GLS is required to perform work at the Pentamation Real
  Property and no such notices have been issued.

  effect as of date hereof, have not been modified or amended, and there are
  no defaults thereunder.

  presently existing and each is in full force and effect as of date hereof.
  None of the Leases has been modified, altered, or amended in any respect,
  and no Tenant has the right to cancel or terminate its Lease, except as set
  forth in the Rent Roll. No Tenant has any right to renew or extend its
  Lease or any interest in the Bethlehem Real Property other than a leasehold
  possessory interest. Except as specified on the Rent Roll, all of the
  Leases are the result of bona fide arms length negotiations between the
  parties thereto and Pentamation has no interest in any of the Tenants
  except as identified on Schedule 3.12. There are no leases, tenancies or
  other rights of occupancy or use for any portion of the Bethlehem Real
  Property other than as set forth in the Rent Roll. Neither Pentamation, nor
  GLS nor any Tenant is in default under any Lease and no event has occurred
  that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute
  a default thereunder. Except as specified on the Rent Roll each of the
  Tenants is in possession of its respective premises. No Tenant has any
  offsets, defenses, claims or causes of actions against GLS or Pentamation
  arising out of matters occurring prior to Closing. There is no Tenant
  contesting any tax, percentage rent, operating costs or other escalation
  payments or occupancy charges or any other amounts payable under its
  specific Lease. All Tenants have furnished insurance certificates
  indicating that the insurance coverage required by their respective Leases
  is in full force and effect.

     (j) No brokerage or leasing commissions (including any renewals or
  residuals) or other compensation are due or payable to any Person with
  respect to or on account of any of the Leases or the leases for the
  Pentamation Real Property, except as specified on the Rent Roll.

     (k) All taxes with respect to any employee of GLS or with respect to any
  of GLS's operations, required to be paid or collected by GLS in the
  operation of the Bethlehem Real Property, or with respect to real estate
  taxes and similar taxes have been collected and paid to the appropriate
  Governmental Authority. GLS shall be responsible for the payment of all
  such taxes due and owing through the date preceding the conveyance of the
  Bethlehem Real Property to Pentamation. Further, GLS shall file all
  necessary returns, petitions and request any statutory audits under state
  and local law so as to release Pentamation and SunGard prior to or after
  Closing from any transferee liability with respect to any such taxes.

     (l) Except as identified on Schedule 3.12, there are no employees of GLS

  pledge (except in connection with fully recourse bank loans) or otherwise

  Merger combined operations of SunGard and the Pentamation Companies, and,

  securities laws.

     11.3 Cooperation with SunGard and Newco. From and after the Closing

  Shareholders shall promptly deliver to SunGard and Newco all
  correspondence, papers, documents and other items and materials received by
  any of the Principal Shareholders or found to be in the possession of any
  of the Principal Shareholders which pertain to the Pentamation Business or
  the Assets. At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, at
  SunGard's request and without further consideration (but at SunGard's
  expense), each of the Principal Shareholders shall promptly execute and
  deliver all such further agreements, certificates, instruments and
  documents and perform such further actions as SunGard may reasonably
  request, in order to fully consummate the Merger and the other Transactions
  and to fully carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement,
  including, but not limited to, such documents and actions as may be
  required in connection with the continuation or termination of the employee
  benefit plans of the Pentamation Companies, the adoption by the Surviving
  Corporation of SunGard's employee benefit plans, and the filing of tax
  returns of the Pentamation Companies for all periods ending on, before or
  including the Closing Date.

     11.4 Phantom Stock Plan. The Company's FY '97 Three Year Phantom Stock
  Plan ("Phantom Stock Plan") shall continue through and until September 30,
  1999 at which time it shall be terminated and no further awards shall be
  granted or made thereunder by the Company; provided however, that any
  properly accrued obligations of the Company with respect to the Phantom
  Stock Plan as of termination (without giving effect to any extraordinary
  changes to Pentamation's net book value per share as a result of the
  consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated hereby)
  shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Phantom Stock Plan.

Section 12: Certain Obligations of the Stockholders, SunGard and/or the
          Surviving Corporation after Closing

     12.1 Tax Periods Through the Closing Date. The Principal Shareholders
  shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns with respect to the
  Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries for taxable periods
  ending on or before the Closing Date ("Short-Period Returns") and shall
  provide the

                                      A-33
<PAGE>

  Short-Period Tax Returns to SunGard at least thirty (30) days before the
  due date therefor, as extended by any proper extension. The Principal
  Shareholders shall include on the Short-Period Returns the income of the
  Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries for all applicable
  periods ending on or before the Closing Date. SunGard shall review the
  Short-Period Returns but shall not change their content without the
  Principal Shareholders' consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld),
  and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to
  timely file the Short-Period Returns. The income of the Surviving
  Corporation and each of its subsidiaries through the Closing Date shall be
  computed as if its taxable year ended on and included the Closing Date.

     12.2 Tax Periods After and Including the Closing Date. SunGard shall
  timely prepare and file or cause to be timely prepared and filed all Tax
  Returns for the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries required to be
  filed for taxable periods ending after the Closing Date. SunGard shall

  proceedings that relate to Taxes of the Surviving Corporation and any of
  its subsidiaries.

     12.4 Disposition of Employee Benefit Plans. As soon as is practicable
  after the Effective Date, SunGard and the executives of the Pentamation
  Companies shall review the Employee Benefits Plans of the Pentamation
  Companies to determine which such plans should remain in effect as plans of
  the Surviving Corporation and which should be replaced with SunGard's
  Employee Benefit Plans, with a view toward replacing all of the Employee
  Benefit Plans of the Pentamation Companies with SunGard's Employee Benefit
  Plans except where cost factors or unusual circumstances dictate otherwise.
  If such termination of the Pentamation Companies' employee benefit plans
  causes any timing gap in comparable SunGard coverage, then the Pentamation
  Companies' relevant benefit plan will be continued until such timing gap
  does not exist.

     12.5 Delivery of Certificates. As soon as practicable, SunGard shall
  deliver to the shareholders certificates representing the shares of SunGard
  Stock to which the shareholders are entitled in accordance with the Plan,
  which provides that SunGard shall promptly deliver to the Principal
  Shareholders certificates representing 90% of the number of shares of
  SunGard Stock into which shares of Pentamation Stock are converted, with
  the balance of the shares to be held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow
  Agreement, provided, however, that SunGard may withhold such certificate
  from any Pentamation shareholder until such shareholder has executed the
  Escrow Agreement.

Section 13: Restrictive Covenants of the Principal Shareholders.

     13.1 Certain Acknowledgments. Each of the Principal Shareholders
  expressly acknowledges that:

       (a) The Enterprise Resource Planning businesses (collectively,
    "SunGard's ERP Business") conducted by the Pentamation Companies and
    that conducted by other subsidiaries of SunGard, now or in the future
    (SunGard and all such existing and future subsidiaries of SunGard,
    including the Pentamation Companies post-Closing are referred to as the
    "SunGard Group") involve the provision of information support systems
    and software for financial, human resources and revenue management for
    governments and educational institutions and all related Software and
    services which SunGard may in the future develop internally or obtain
    through acquisition.

       (b) SunGard's ERP Business is highly competitive, is marketed
    throughout the United States, throughout Europe and in many other
    locations worldwide, and requires long sales "lead times" often
    exceeding one year.

       (c) The SunGard Group expends substantial time and money, on an
    ongoing basis, to train its employees, maintain and expand its customer
    base, and improve and develop its Software, technology, databases,

       (d) In connection with the Transactions, during his tenure as a
    shareholder, director and/or employee of the Pentamation Companies
    before Closing, and, if applicable, during his or her tenure as an
    employee of the SunGard Group after Closing, he has had and will
    continue to have access to, receive, learn, develop and/or conceive
    proprietary and confidential knowledge and information of the SunGard
    Group; such knowledge and information must be kept in strict confidence
    to protect SunGard's ERP Business and maintain the SunGard Group's
    competitive positions in the marketplace; and such knowledge and
    information would be useful to competitors of the SunGard Group for
    indefinite periods of time.

       (e) The covenants of this Section 13 (the "Covenants") are a
    material part of the agreement among the parties hereto and are an
    integral part of the obligations of the Principal Shareholders
    hereunder; the Covenants are supported by good and adequate
    consideration; and the Covenants are reasonable and necessary to
    protect the legitimate business interests of the SunGard Group.

     13.2 Nondisclosure Covenants. At all times after the Closing Date,
  except with SunGard's prior written consent, or except in connection with
  the proper performance of services for and as an employee of the SunGard
  Group, the Principal Shareholders shall not, directly or indirectly, in any
  capacity:

       (a) Communicate, publish or otherwise disclose to any Person, or use
    for the benefit of any Person, any confidential or proprietary
    property, knowledge or information of the SunGard Group or concerning
    any of its business, Software, Assets or financial condition, no matter
    when or how such knowledge or information was acquired, including (i)
    the identity of customers and prospects, their specific requirements,
    and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of individual contacts
    at customers and prospects; (ii) prices, renewal dates and other
    detailed terms of customer and supplier contracts and proposals; (iii)
    pricing policies, marketing and sales strategies, methods of delivering
    products and services, and product and service development projects and
    strategies; (iv) source code, object code, formats, user manuals,
    technical manuals and other documentation for Software products; (v)
    screen designs, report designs and other designs, concepts and visual
    expressions for Software products; (vi) designs, concepts, know-how,
    user manuals, technical manuals and other documentation for trading
    systems, communications networks and related technologies; (vii)
    employment and payroll records; (viii) forecasts, budgets and other
    nonpublic financial information; and (ix) expansion plans, management
    policies, methods of operation, and other business strategies and
    policies.

       (b) Disclose, use or refer to any proprietary Software, technology,
    products or services or other confidential or proprietary knowledge or
    information of the SunGard Group, no matter when or how acquired, for
    any purpose not in furtherance of the businesses and interests of the
    SunGard Group, including the purposes of designing, developing,
    marketing and/or selling any Software, technology, products or services
    that are similar to (visually or functionally) or competitive with any
    proprietary Software, technology, products or services of the SunGard
    Group.

     13.3 Noncompetition Covenants. During the period beginning on the
  Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date or, if
  later, two years after termination of employment with the SunGard Group,
  except with SunGard's prior written consent, none of the Principal
  Shareholders shall, directly or indirectly, in any capacity, at any
  location worldwide:

       (a) Communicate with or solicit any Person who is or during such
    period becomes a customer, prospect, supplier, employee, salesman,
    agent or representative of, or a consultant to, the SunGard Group, in
    any manner that interferes or might interfere with such Person's
    relationship with the SunGard Group, or in an effort to obtain any such
    Person as a customer, employee, supplier, salesman, agent or
    representative of, or a consultant to, any other Person that conducts a
    business competitive with or similar to all or any part of SunGard's
    ERP Business.

       (b) Market or sell, in any manner other than in furtherance of the
    business and interests of the SunGard Group, any Software, technology,
    products or services that is similar to (visually or

                                      A-35
<PAGE>

    functionally) or competitive with any proprietary Software, technology,
    products or services of the SunGard Group.

       (c) Establish, own, manage, operate, finance or control, or
    participate in the establishment, ownership, management, operation,
    financing or control of, or be a director, officer, employee, salesman,
    agent or representative of, or be a consultant to, any Person that
    conducts a business competitive with or similar to all or any part of
    SunGard's ERP Business.

     13.4 Certain Exclusions. For purposes of this Section 13, confidential
  and proprietary knowledge and information of the SunGard Group shall not
  include any knowledge and information that is now known by or readily
  available to the general public, or that becomes known by or readily
  available to the general public other than as a result of any breach of
  this Section 13. The ownership by any of the Principal Shareholders of not
  more than one percent of the outstanding securities of any public company
  shall not, by itself, constitute a breach of the Covenants of Section 13.3,
  even if such public company competes with the SunGard Group. The provisions
  of Section 13.3(b) and Section 13.3(c) shall not apply to Appleton in the
  event that his employment with the SunGard Group is terminated by the
  SunGard Group without cause.

     13.5 Enforcement of Covenants. Each of the Principal Shareholders
  expressly acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult to measure the
  damages that might result from any breach of the Covenants, and that any
  breach of the Covenants will result in irreparable injury to the SunGard
  Group for which money damages could not adequately compensate. If a breach
  of the Covenants occurs, SunGard shall be entitled, in addition to all
  other rights and remedies that SunGard may have at law or in equity, to
  have an injunction issued by any competent court enjoining and restraining
  any or all of the Principal Shareholders and all other Persons involved
  therein from continuing such breach. The existence of any claim or cause of
  action that any or all of the Principal Shareholders or any such other
  Person may have against any member of the SunGard Group shall not
  constitute a defense or bar to the enforcement of any of the Covenants. If
  SunGard must resort to litigation to enforce any of the Covenants that has
  a fixed term, then such term shall be extended for a period of time equal
  to the period during which a breach of such Covenant was occurring,
  beginning on the date of a final court order (without further right of
  appeal) holding that such a breach occurred or, if later, the last day of
  the original fixed term of such Covenant.

     13.6 Scope of Covenants. If any Covenant, or any part thereof, or the
  application thereof, is construed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
  then the other Covenants, or the other portions of such Covenant, or the
  application thereof, shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable
  without regard thereto. If any of the Covenants is determined to be
  unenforceable because of its scope, duration, geographical area or other
  factor, then the court making such determination shall have the power to
  reduce or limit such scope, duration, area or other factor, and such
  Covenant shall then be enforceable in its reduced or limited form.

Section 14: Indemnification

     14.1 Principal Shareholders' Indemnification. From and after the Closing
  Date, each of the Principal Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall
  indemnify and hold harmless the members of the SunGard Group, and their
  respective successors and assigns, and their respective directors,
  officers, employees, agents and representatives, from and against any and
  all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts, liabilities, obligations,
  losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees
  and court costs, arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, any
  of the following:

       (a) Any misrepresentation, breach or failure of any warranty or
    representation made by Pentamation and/or the Principal Shareholders in
    or pursuant to this Agreement.

       (b) Any failure or refusal by Pentamation and/or the Principal
    Shareholders to satisfy or perform any covenant, term or condition of
    this Agreement required to be satisfied or performed by any or all of
    them.

                                      A-36
<PAGE>

       (c) Any matters disclosed in Schedule 3.20 to the extent that such
    matters result in liability or losses in excess of those contemplated
    in such Schedule.

       (d) Any Proceeding against the SunGard Group by any Person (other
    than the Principal Shareholders) arising out of or caused by, directly
    or indirectly, any act or omission of any of the Pentamation Companies,
    or any of their stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees,
    agents or representatives, occurring at any time on or before the
    Closing Date.

       (e) Any deficiency, adjustment or assessment for Taxes made against
    or imposed upon any of the Pentamation Companies (or any of their
    predecessors or successors) with respect to any period ending on or
    before the Closing Date. The right of the SunGard Group to
    indemnification under this Section 14.1(e) shall not be affected by the
    fact that such deficiency, adjustment or assessment is made against or
    imposed upon SunGard as a result of the fact that, after the Closing
    Date, the Pentamation Companies shall be included in the consolidated
    federal income tax returns filed by SunGard.

       (f) Any Proceeding against the SunGard Group arising under any
    Environmental Laws in connection with or arising from any Pentamation
    Environmental Conditions existing at any time on or before the Closing
    Date.

     14.2 Indemnification Procedures. With respect to each event, occurrence
  or matter (an "Indemnification Matter") as to which the SunGard Group (the
  "Indemnitee") is entitled to indemnification from the Principal
  Shareholders (the "Indemnitor") under Section 14.1:

       (a) Within ten (10) days after the Indemnitee receives written
    documents underlying the Indemnification Matter or, if the
    Indemnification Matter does not involve a third party action, suit,
    claim or demand, promptly after the Indemnitee first has actual
    knowledge of the Indemnification Matter, the Indemnitee shall give
    notice to the Indemnitor ("Claim Notice") of the nature of the
    Indemnification Matter and the amount demanded or claimed in connection
    therewith ("Claim Amount"), together with copies of any such written
    documents.

       (b) If a third party action, suit, claim or demand is involved,
    then, upon receipt of the Indemnification Notice, the Indemnitor shall,
    at its expense and through counsel of its choice, promptly assume and
    have sole control over the litigation, defense or settlement (the
    "Defense") of the Indemnification Matter, except that (i) the
    Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and through counsel of its
    choice, participate in (but not control) the Defense; (ii) if the
    Indemnitee reasonably believes that the handling of the Defense by the
    Indemnitor may have a material adverse effect on the Indemnitee, its
    business or financial condition, or its relationship with any customer,
    prospect, supplier, employee, salesman, consultant, agent or
    representative, then the Indemnitee may, at its option and expense and
    through counsel of its choice, assume control of the Defense, provided
    that the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the Defense at
    its expense and through counsel of its choice; (iii) the Indemnitor
    shall not consent to any Judgment, or agree to any settlement, without
    the Indemnitee's prior written consent; and (iv) if the Indemnitor does
    not promptly assume control over the Defense or, after doing so, does
    not continue to prosecute the Defense in good faith, the Indemnitee
    may, at its option and through counsel of its choice, but at the
    Indemnitor's expense, assume control over the Defense. In any event,
    the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall fully cooperate with each other
    in connection with the Defense, including by furnishing all available
    documentary or other evidence as is reasonably requested by the other.

       (c) The final amount owed by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee (if
    any) shall be determined by a final Judgment (without further right of
    appeal) or by a settlement agreement or similar Contract executed by
    the parties involved ("Indemnification Amount"). At any time after such
    Judgment is rendered or such settlement agreement or similar Contract
    is executed, the Indemnitee may give notice to the Indemnitor ("Payment
    Notice") demanding payment of the Indemnification Amount.

    this Section 14 unless and until the aggregate amount otherwise payable
    by the Indemnitor under this Section 14 exceeds One Hundred Thousand
    Dollars ($100,000), in which event the Indemnitor shall pay such
    aggregate amount and all future amounts payable by the Indemnitor under
    this Section 14.

       (b) Ceiling. The Indemnitor's total liability under this Section 14
    shall not exceed the product of (i) the number of shares of SunGard

    however, that the total liability of any Principal Shareholder under
    this Section 14 shall not exceed the product of (i) number of shares of

      encountered in the routine audit process of a wholly owned
      subsidiary of SunGard, the Indemnitor shall not be liable as to any
      such Indemnification Matter for which the Indemnitee does not give
      an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnitor in accordance with
      14.2(a) by April 30, 2000.

         (ii) With respect to Indemnification Matters set forth in Section

      for which the Indemnitee does not give an Indemnification Notice to
      the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 14.2(a) within twelve (12)
      months after the Closing Date.

     14.4 Exceptions to Limitations. None of the limitations set forth in

  product which, at any time before Closing, was marketed, licensed,
  maintained, supported, owned, or claimed to have been owned by any of the
  Pentamation Companies; (c) record or beneficial ownership of any shares of
  capital stock or membership interests in any of the Pentamation Companies;
  (d) Taxes, (e) Environmental Matters or (f) covenants or other obligations

     14.5 Recovery. The SunGard Group shall be entitled to recover from any
  or all of the Principal Shareholders and/or the other shareholders of
  Pentamation, any applicable amounts for indemnification payments hereunder
  as follows:

       (a) To the extent that the Escrowed Stock (as defined and valued in
    the Escrow Agreement) is available and sufficient to cover the
    Indemnification Amount, the Indemnification Amount shall be satisfied
    by a distribution of Escrowed Stock to SunGard in accordance with the
    Escrow Agreement.

       (b) To the extent that the Escrowed Stock is not available or
    sufficient to cover the Indemnification Amount, each of the Principal
    Shareholders shall, jointly and severally, pay all or the remaining
    balance of the Indemnification Amount to SunGard within five (5)
    business days after the Payment Notice is given.

     14.6 Setoff and Holdback. In addition to all other rights and remedies
  that the Indemnitee may have, the Indemnitee shall have the right to
  setoff, against any cash or liquid assets due to the Indemnitor (whether

  indemnification under this Section 14. The Indemnitee's rights to
  indemnification under this Section 14 shall not be in any manner limited by
  or to this right of setoff. If any Indemnification Matters are pending at a
  time when the Indemnitee is required to pay or deliver any such cash or

  Matters, the total amount for which the Indemnitor may become liable as a
  result thereof, as determined by the Indemnitee reasonably and in good
  faith. Any payment or delivery by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor of cash
  or liquid assets held back by the Indemnitee in accordance with this
  Section 14.6 shall be accompanied by interest (in like kind) from the date
  on which such payment or delivery was originally due, calculated at an
  annual rate equal to the Eurodollar rate published in the "Money Rates"

  part of the holder thereof, be automatically converted into and become that
  total number of shares of common stock, no par value, with a stated value
  of $.015 per share, of the Surviving Corporation as shall be equal to the
  total number of shares of Pentamation Stock (as defined in Section 8(a))
  issued and outstanding on the Effective Date. It is the intention of the
  parties that, immediately after the Merger, SunGard shall own all of the
  issued and outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

     8. Conversion of Pentamation Capital Stock.

     (a) On the Effective Date, each share of Pentamation capital stock
  ("Pentamation Stock") issued and outstanding immediately before the
  Effective Date, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on
  the part of the holder thereof, be automatically converted into and become
  that number of shares of common stock of SunGard, $0.01 par value per share
  ("SunGard Stock") as shall be equal to the result of the following formula
  with the result rounded off to seven decimal places (such result is
  hereinafter referred to as the "Merger Exchange Ratio"):

       (i) If the Market Value of SunGard Stock (as hereinafter defined) is
    greater than or equal to $34.00 and less than or equal to $46.00, then
    the Merger Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the result of the following
    formula:

                                915,000 + Additional Shares
                            Number of Fully Diluted Pentamation
                                          Shares

       (ii) If the Market Value of SunGard Stock is less than $34.00, then
    the Merger Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the result of the following
    formula; provided that the total shares of SunGard Stock issued in
    consideration for the Pentamation Shares shall not exceed 972,188 plus
    the Additional Shares:

   $31,110,000    + Additional Sharesx             1
   Market Value of                         Number of Fully Diluted Pentamation
   SunGard Stock                        Shares

       (iii) If the Market Value of SunGard Stock is greater than $46.00,
    then the Merger Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the result of the
    following formula; provided that the total shares of SunGard Stock
    issued in consideration for the Pentamation Shares shall not exceed
    876,875 plus the Additional Shares:

   $42,090,000    + Additional Sharesx
   Market Value of                                 1
   SunGard Stock                           Number of Fully Diluted Pentamation
                                        Shares


                                      B-2
<PAGE>

     As used in this Plan:

     (b) the "Market Value of SunGard Stock" shall equal the arithmetic
  average of the last reported sale prices of one share of SunGard Stock, as
  reported on The New York Stock Exchange during the twenty (20) trading days
  ending on and including the trading day two days before the Closing Date;
  and


     (c) the "Number of Fully Diluted Pentamation Shares" shall equal the sum
  of (i) the shares of Pentamation Stock issued and outstanding on the
  Effective Date and (ii) that number of additional shares of Pentamation
  Stock that would be issued and outstanding on the Effective Date assuming
  the exercise or conversion of all options, warrants or rights (whether
  exercisable or convertible then or in the future) to purchase or acquire
  Pentamation Stock which options, warrants or rights are outstanding on the
  Effective Date. As of the date of the Plan, the Number of Fully Diluted
  Pentamation Shares is 842,734.

     (d) Additional Shares means that number of shares of SunGard Stock as
  shall be determined by the following formula:

    [$7,500,000 - Bethlehem Real Property Indebtedness] + [Automobile FMV -
                           Automobile Indebtedness]
                         Market Value of SunGard Stock

     The terms "Automobile FMV," "Automobile Indebtedness" and "Bethlehem Real
Property Indebtedness" shall be as determined pursuant to Sections 10.2(r), (s)
and (t), respectively, of the Reorganization Agreement.

     (e) If, between the date of the Reorganization Agreement and the
  Effective Date, there is a change in the number of issued and outstanding
  shares of SunGard Stock as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split,
  stock dividend, reclassification, exchange of shares or similar
  recapitalization, then the number of shares of SunGard Stock and prices per
  share of SunGard Stock set forth in Section 8(a) and the Market Value of
  SunGard Stock shall be appropriately adjusted. The number of shares of
  SunGard Stock and prices per share of SunGard Stock set forth in Section
  8(a) and the Market Value of SunGard Stock shall not be adjusted as a
  result of any other changes in the number of issued and outstanding shares
  of SunGard Stock, such as changes resulting from acquisitions or offerings
  or changes resulting from exercises of stock options, purchases or awards
  of stock, or similar transactions under SunGard's stock option, purchase
  and award plans.

     (f) No fractional shares of SunGard Stock shall be issued as a result of
  the Merger. In lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, the number of
  shares of SunGard Stock to be issued to each shareholder in accordance with
  this Plan shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number of shares
  of SunGard Stock.

   9. Stock Options. On the Effective Date, all options to acquire shares of
Pentamation Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately before the
Effective Date and which have been described in Schedule 3.3B to the
Reorganization Agreement (collectively, the "Options"), by virtue of the Merger
and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall be
automatically exchanged for and substituted with options to purchase SunGard
Stock under the applicable SunGard stock option plan except that (a) the number
of shares issuable upon exercise of such Options shall be that number of shares
of SunGard Stock (rounded off to the nearest whole number of shares) equal to
the number of shares of Pentamation Stock issuable upon exercise of such
Options immediately before the Effective Date, multiplied by the Merger
Exchange Ratio, (b) the exercise price per share of SunGard Stock under such
Options shall be that amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to
the exercise price per share of Pentamation Stock under such Options
immediately before the Effective Date, divided by the Merger Exchange Ratio and
(c) the terms of the Options as to exerciseability, vesting and termination
shall be as provided in the Options.

   10. Pentamation Stock held by Pentamation. On the Effective Date, any shares
of Pentamation Stock that are held by Pentamation (as treasury shares)
immediately before the Effective Date shall, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically
canceled.

                                      B-3
<PAGE>

   11. Exchange Procedures. SunGard shall designate its transfer agent to act
as the "Exchange Agent" under this Plan. As soon as is practicable after the
Effective Date, SunGard or the Exchange Agent shall mail, to each shareholder,
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of their respective
certificates representing shares of Pentamation Stock to the Exchange Agent.
Upon the surrender of all of such certificates to the Exchange Agent by a
shareholder in accordance with such instructions, the Exchange Agent shall
exchange such certificates for (a) a new certificate representing 90% of the
SunGard Stock to be issued to such shareholder pursuant to this Plan ("Closing
Stock"), which shall be promptly delivered to the shareholder (or in accordance
with instructions provided by the shareholder) provided, however, that SunGard
may withhold such certificate from any shareholder until such shareholder has
executed the Escrow Agreement (as hereafter defined); and (b) a new certificate
for the balance of the SunGard Stock to be issued to such shareholder pursuant
to this Plan ("Escrow Stock"), which shall be held in escrow and distributed in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached as Exhibit F to the
Reorganization Agreement ("Escrow Agreement"). The term of the Escrow Agreement
shall be binding on each Pentamation shareholder by virtue of the Merger and
regardless of whether such Pentamation shareholder has executed the Escrow
Agreement. If applicable, such certificates shall be accompanied by any
distributions due with respect to shares of SunGard Stock that were paid to
SunGard's stockholders of record as of a date between the Effective Date and
the date of distribution of either the certificate representing the Closing
Stock or the certificate representing the Escrow Stock. Until all of a
shareholder's certificates representing shares of Pentamation Stock are
surrendered in accordance with the foregoing, the outstanding certificates
which have not been surrendered shall be deemed to evidence ownership of the
number of shares of SunGard Stock to be issued to such shareholder pursuant to
this Plan, subject to the escrow requirement described above.

   12. Effective Date. As used in this Plan, the "Effective Date" shall mean
the date upon which proper Articles of Merger for the Merger have been duly
signed and filed with the proper officials of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

   13. Entire Understanding. This Plan, together with the Reorganization
Agreement (and the Exhibits and Schedules thereto), states the entire
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior oral and written communications and agreements,

subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification of this Plan, and no waiver
of any provision of this Plan, shall be effective unless in writing and signed
by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Pentamation may agree to any

have a material adverse effect on the shareholders. The obligations of the
parties under this Plan shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of
the Reorganization Agreement. If the Reorganization Agreement is terminated in

party hereto shall in any manner assign any of its rights or obligations under

shall be deemed to confer, any rights or remedies upon any persons other than
the parties hereto and their respective stockholders and directors.

   15. Severability. If any provision of this Plan is construed to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard thereto.

   16. Counterparts. This Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original hereof, and
it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Plan to produce or account

DATE:  [     ,] 1999

BACKGROUND:

   A. Feather, Bloys and Appleton (collectively, the "Principal Shareholders"),
Pentamation, SunGard and Newco are parties to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated as of May 6, 1999 (the "Reorganization Agreement") and a
related Plan of Merger dated as of May 6, 1999 ("Plan of Merger"), providing
for the merger of Newco with and into Pentamation with the conversion of all
outstanding shares of Pentamation Stock (as defined in the Reorganization
Agreement) into shares of SunGard Stock (as defined in the Plan of Merger), ten
percent (10%) of which, or [     ] shares of SunGard Stock (the "Escrowed
Stock"), are being deposited with the Escrow Agent to be held in accordance
with this Agreement.

   B. Pentamation and SunGard have delivered to the Escrow Agent a list of
names and addresses of Pentamation shareholders (hereinafter, the
"Shareholders") showing as to each the number of shares of SunGard Stock
(including fractional shares) to be deposited in respect of the shares of
Pentamation Stock owned by such Shareholder.

   NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:

     1. Shareholders General Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date
  (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement), each of the Shareholders,
  jointly and severally, joins in and agrees to be bound by the obligations
  of the Principal Shareholders to indemnify and hold harmless, and hereby
  agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, the members of the SunGard Group (as
  defined in the Reorganization

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

  Agreement), and their respective successors and assigns, and their
  respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, from
  and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts,
  liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including
  without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, arising out
  of or caused by, directly or indirectly, any of the matters set forth in
  Section 5.3 or Section 14.1 of the Reorganization Agreement, subject to the
  terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 14 of the
  Reorganization Agreement; provided, however, that the liability of any
  Shareholder hereunder (other than the Principal Shareholders) shall be
  limited to their shares of Escrowed Stock held hereunder. Nothing in this
  Agreement shall be deemed to modify, limit or affect the Obligations (as
  defined in the Reorganization Agreement) of any Principal Shareholder under
  the Reorganization Agreement.

     2. Shareholder Accounts. The Escrow Agent shall maintain an account
  ("Escrow Account") for each Shareholder showing the number of shares of the
  Escrowed Stock held by the Escrow Agent for him or her. As soon as
  practicable after the date hereof, the Escrow Agent shall mail to each
  Shareholder a statement showing the number of shares of the Escrowed Stock
  held by the Escrow Agent in his or her Escrow Account. Subsequent Escrow
  Account statements shall be mailed to the Shareholders following any
  reservation in accordance with Section 3 hereof or any distribution in
  accordance with Section 4 hereof. All reservations and distributions of the
  Escrowed Stock shall be against the Shareholders' Escrow Accounts on a pro
  rata basis, based upon the respective numbers of shares of the Escrowed
  Stock initially deposited therein, and in all cases rounded to the nearest
  whole share. If, between the date of this Agreement and date on which the
  last share of Escrowed Stock is distributed pursuant to Section 5, there is
  a change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of SunGard Stock as
  a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
  reclassification, exchange of shares or similar recapitalization, then any
  SunGard Stock payable with respect thereto shall be added to and become
  part of the Escrow Account.

     3. Valuation of Escrowed Stock. For all purposes of this Agreement, the
  value of each share of the Escrowed Stock shall be $[   ] ("Valuation
  Price") the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices of one
  share of SunGard Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during
  the twenty (20) trading days ending on and including the trading day two
  days before the Closing Date (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement).
  If, between the date of this Agreement and date on which the last share of
  Escrowed Stock is distributed pursuant to Section 5, there is a change in
  the number of issued and outstanding shares of SunGard Stock as a result of
  a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification,
  exchange of shares or similar recapitalization, then the Valuation Price
  shall be appropriately adjusted.

     4. Reservations of Escrowed Stock. Whenever SunGard gives an Claim
  Notice (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) to the Shareholders, it
  shall send a copy thereof to the Escrow Agent. Promptly after receipt of an
  Indemnification Notice, the Escrow Agent shall reserve on the records of
  the Escrow Accounts such number of shares of the Escrowed Stock (rounded to
  the nearest whole share) as is equal to the Claim Amount (as defined in the
  Reorganization Agreement) set forth in such Indemnification Notice divided
  by the Valuation Price, or, if less, all remaining shares of the Escrowed
  Stock ("Reserved Shares").

     5. Distributions of Escrowed Stock. The Escrow Agent shall distribute
  the Escrowed Stock in accordance with the following provisions:

       a. The Escrow Agent shall distribute shares of the Escrowed Stock at
    such time and in such manner as is set forth in any written agreement
    or written instructions signed by SunGard and the Representative (as
    defined in Section 16) and delivered to the Escrow Agent.

       b. Whenever SunGard gives a Payment Notice (as defined in the
    Reorganization Agreement) to the Representative, it shall send a copy
    thereof to the Escrow Agent. Within five (5) business days after
    receipt of a Payment Notice, the Escrow Agent shall distribute from the
    Escrow Accounts to SunGard (by delivery of a proper share certificate
    therefor) such number of shares of the Escrowed Stock (rounded to the
    nearest whole share) as is equal to the Indemnification Amount (as
    defined in

                                      C-2
<PAGE>

    the Reorganization Agreement) set forth in such Payment Notice divided
    by the Valuation Price, or, if less, all remaining shares of the
    Escrowed Stock.

       c. If there are no Claim Notices outstanding on the first
    anniversary of the date of this Agreement ("Anniversary"), then, within
    five (5) business days after the Anniversary, the Escrow Agent shall
    distribute to each of the Shareholders (by delivery of a proper share
    certificate therefor) any remaining shares of the Escrowed Stock then
    held in his or her Escrow Account.

       d. If there are Indemnification Notices outstanding on the
    Anniversary, then (i) within five (5) business days after the
    Anniversary, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to each of the
    Shareholders (by delivery of a proper share certificate therefor) any
    remaining shares of the Escrowed Stock then held in his Escrow Account
    other than Reserved Shares, (ii) as each such outstanding
    Indemnification Notice is resolved, the Escrow Agent shall distribute
    to SunGard any Escrowed Stock to which SunGard becomes entitled in
    accordance with Section 4b hereof, and (iii) within five (5) business
    days after the last such outstanding Indemnification Notice is resolved
    and any corresponding distributions to SunGard are made, the Escrow
    Agent shall distribute to each of the Shareholders (by delivery of a
    proper share certificate therefor) any remaining shares of the Escrowed
    Stock then held in his or her Escrow Account.

     6. Voting of Escrowed Shares. Shareholders shall have the right to vote
  their respective shares of Escrowed Stock held by the Escrow Agent.

     7. Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign
  at any time or be removed by the mutual consent of SunGard and the
  Representative upon notice given at least 30 days before the effective date
  of such resignation or removal; provided that no resignation or removal of
  the Escrow Agent and no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent shall be
  effective unless and until the successor Escrow Agent accepts its
  appointment as Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section 7. If the
  Escrow Agent resigns or is removed but SunGard and the Representative fail
  to agree upon a successor Escrow Agent within 30 days after they receive
  notice of such resignation or removal, then SunGard shall have the right to
  appoint a successor Escrow Agent which shall be a commercial bank or trust
  company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Any
  successor Escrow Agent, whether appointed by the mutual agreement of
  SunGard and the Representative or otherwise, shall execute and deliver to
  the predecessor Escrow Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and
  thereupon such successor Escrow Agent shall, without further act, become
  vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers and duties of the
  predecessor Escrow Agent as if originally named herein.

     8. Liability of Escrow Agent; Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall have no
  liability or obligation hereunder except for its willful misconduct or
  gross negligence. The Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, not only
  as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the
  truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which the Escrow
  Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or
  presented by the person or persons purporting to sign the same, and to
  conform to the provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent may consult
  legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question of the
  construction of any of the provisions hereof or of the Reorganization
  Agreement or of its duties hereunder, and shall incur no liability and
  shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion or
  instruction of such counsel. The fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent
  charged and incurred in performing its obligations hereunder shall be borne
  by SunGard. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to compensation for its services
  as stated in the fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, which such
  compensation shall be paid by SunGard. The fee agreed upon for the services
  rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for Escrow Agent's
  services as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, if the
  conditions for the disbursement of funds under this Agreement are not
  fulfilled, or Escrow Agent renders any material service not contemplated in
  this Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject
  matter of this Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any
  material controversy arises hereunder, or Escrow Agent is made a party to
  any litigation pertaining to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof,
  then Escrow Agent shall be reasonably compensated for such extraordinary
  services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses,

                                      C-3
<PAGE>

  including reasonable attorneys fees, occasioned by any such delay,
  controversy, litigation or event, and the same shall be recoverable from
  SunGard.

     9. Indemnification of Escrow Agent. SunGard and each of the
  Shareholders, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify and hold harmless
  Escrow Agent from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and
  expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, which
  Escrow Agent may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or
  proceeding brought against Escrow Agent arising out of or relating in any
  way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates,
  unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful
  misconduct or gross negligence of Escrow Agent.

     10. Notices. All notices, consents or other communications required or
  permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
  deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or one business
  day after being sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service,
  or three business days after being sent by registered or certified mail,
  return receipt requested, in each case postage or delivery charges prepaid.
  Notices may also be given by prepaid facsimile and shall be effective on
  the date transmitted if confirmed within 48 hours thereafter by a signed
  original sent in the manner provided in the preceding sentence. Notices to
  SunGard and Newco shall be sent to their respective addresses stated on
  page one of this Agreement to the attention of SunGard's General Counsel,
  with a copy sent simultaneously to the same address to the attention of
  SunGard's Chief Financial Officer. Notices to the Shareholders shall be
  sent to the Principal Shareholders as representative of the Shareholders at
  their respective addresses stated on page one of this Agreement and counsel
  to the Principal Shareholders (at their respective addresses set forth in
  the Reorganization Agreement). Notices to the Escrow Agent (including any
  Payment Notice), shall be sent to its address stated on page one of this
  Agreement to the attention of [     ], with copies sent simultaneously to,
  as applicable, SunGard or the Principal Shareholders and counsel to the
  Principal Shareholders (at their respective addresses set forth in the
  Reorganization Agreement).

     11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED
  UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, EXCEPT THAT THE
  FIDUCIARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
  BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.

     12. Assignment; Binding Effect. The rights of the Shareholders hereunder
  are personal and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred except by
  operation of law. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding
  upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
  heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

     13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
  of which will be deemed an original and all of which together shall
  constitute one and the same instrument.

     14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding
  of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot
  be changed, modified or terminated except by written amendment.

     15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is construed to be
  invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions hereof
  shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable without regard
  thereto. Each Shareholder agrees that the failure of any other Shareholder
  to execute and deliver this Agreement shall not affect in any way the
  validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the rights of SunGard or
  Pentamation under this Agreement, the Plan of Merger or the Reorganization
  Agreement.

     16. Right of Representative to Act for Shareholders. Each of the
  Shareholders expressly grants to the Principal Shareholder designated
  pursuant to this Section (the "Representative") the full power and
  authority to represent such Shareholder and to take any and all actions

  that no such waiver, consent or amendment shall affect the method of
  allocation of payments from the Escrowed Stock as set forth in Section 5
  hereof with respect to any Shareholder who does not expressly consent
  thereto. Each of the Shareholders acknowledge that this Section 16 is
  intended to have the broadest possible scope of the purpose of promoting
  the efficient negotiation and handling of all matters which arise under or
  in connection with this Agreement. The Representative shall be Jeffrey P.
  Feather.

of any class or series of shares that, at the record date fixed to determine
the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting at which a
plan specified in any of section 1930, 1931(d), 1932(c) or 1952(d) is to be

  into shares of the acquiring, surviving, new or other corporation or solely
  into such shares and money in lieu of fractional shares.

     (ii) Shares of any preferred or special class unless the articles, the

  effectuation of the transaction the affirmative vote of a majority of the
  votes cast by all shareholders of the class.

     (iii) Shares entitled to dissenters rights under section 1906(c)

<PAGE>

of another corporation or other person, shall not be entitled to the rights and
remedies of dissenting shareholders provided in this subchapter regardless of
the fact, if it be the case, that the acquisition was accomplished by the
issuance of voting shares of the corporation to be outstanding immediately
after the acquisition sufficient to elect a majority or more of the directors
of the corporation.

   (C) GRANT OF OPTIONAL DISSENTERS RIGHTS.--The bylaws or a resolution of the

that would otherwise not entitle such shareholders to dissenters rights.

   (D) NOTICE OF DISSENTERS RIGHTS.--Unless otherwise provided by statute, if a
proposed corporate action that would give rise to dissenters rights under this
subpart is submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, there shall be
included in or enclosed with the notice of meeting:

     (1) a statement of the proposed action and a statement that the
  shareholders have a right to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value
  of their shares by complying with the terms of this subchapter; and

     (2) a copy of this subchapter.

   (E) OTHER STATUTES.--The procedures of this subchapter shall also be

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1572. Definitions

   The following words and phrases when used in this subchapter shall have the
meanings given to them in this section unless the context clearly indicates
otherwise:

   "CORPORATION." The issuer of the shares held or owned by the dissenter
before the corporate action or the successor by merger, consolidation,
division, conversion or otherwise of that issuer. A plan of division may
designate which of the resulting corporations is the successor corporation for
the purposes of this subchapter. The successor corporation in a division shall
have sole responsibility for payments to dissenters and other liabilities under
this subchapter except as otherwise provided in the plan of division.

   "DISSENTER." A shareholder or beneficial owner who is entitled to and does
assert dissenters rights under this subchapter and who has performed every act
required up to the time involved for the assertion of those rights.

   "FAIR VALUE." The fair value of shares immediately before the effectuation
of the corporate action to which the dissenter objects, taking into account all
relevant factors, but excluding any appreciation or depreciation in
anticipation of the corporate action.

   "INTEREST." Interest from the effective date of the corporate action until
the date of payment at such rate as is fair and equitable under all the
circumstances, taking into account all relevant factors, including the average
rate currently paid by the corporation on its principal bank loans.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1573. Record and beneficial holders and owners

   (A) RECORD HOLDERS OF SHARES.--A record holder of shares of a business
corporation may assert dissenters rights as to fewer than all of the shares
registered in his name only if he dissents with respect to all the shares of
the same class or series beneficially owned by any one person and discloses the
name and address of the person or persons on whose behalf he dissents. In that
event, his rights shall be determined as if the shares as to which he has
dissented and his other shares were registered in the names of different
shareholders.

                                      D-2
<PAGE>

   (B) BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF SHARES.--A beneficial owner of shares of a business
corporation who is not the record holder may assert dissenters rights with
respect to shares held on his behalf and shall be treated as a dissenting
shareholder under the terms of this subchapter if he submits to the corporation
not later than the time of the assertion of dissenters rights a written consent
of the record holder. A beneficial owner may not dissent with respect to some
but less than all shares of the same class or series owned by the owner,
whether or not the shares so owned by him are registered in his name.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1574. Notice of intention to dissent

   If the proposed corporate action is submitted to a vote at a meeting of
shareholders of a business corporation, any person who wishes to dissent and
obtain payment of the fair value of his shares must file with the corporation,
prior to the vote, a written notice of intention to demand that he be paid the
fair value for his shares if the proposed action is effectuated, must effect no
change in the beneficial ownership of his shares from the date of such filing
continuously through the effective date of the proposed action and must refrain
from voting his shares in approval of such action. A dissenter who fails in any
respect shall not acquire any right to payment of the fair value of his shares
under this subchapter. Neither a proxy nor a vote against the proposed
corporate action shall constitute the written notice required by this section.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1575. Notice to demand payment

   (A) GENERAL RULE.--If the proposed corporate action is approved by the
required vote at a meeting of shareholders of a business corporation, the
corporation shall mail a further notice to all dissenters who gave due notice
of intention to demand payment of the fair value of their shares and who
refrained from voting in favor of the proposed action. If the proposed
corporate action is to be taken without a vote of shareholders, the corporation
shall send to all shareholders who are entitled to dissent and demand payment
of the fair value of their shares a notice of the adoption of the plan or other
corporate action. In either case, the notice shall:

     (1) State where and when a demand for payment must be sent and
  certificates for certificated shares must be deposited in order to obtain
  payment.

     (2) Inform holders of uncertificated shares to what extent transfer of
  shares will be restricted from the time that demand for payment is
  received.

     (3) Supply a form for demanding payment that includes a request for
  certification of the date on which the shareholder, or the person on whose
  behalf the shareholder dissents, acquired beneficial ownership of the
  shares.

     (4) Be accompanied by a copy of this subchapter.

   (B) TIME FOR RECEIPT OF DEMAND FOR PAYMENT.--The time set for receipt of the
demand and deposit of certificated shares shall be not less than 30 days from
the mailing of the notice.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1576. Failure to comply with notice to demand payment, etc.

   (A) EFFECT OF FAILURE OF SHAREHOLDER TO ACT.--A shareholder who fails to
timely demand payment, or fails (in the case of certificated shares) to timely
deposit certificates, as required by a notice pursuant to section 1575
(relating to notice to demand payment) shall not have any right under this
subchapter to receive payment of the fair value of his shares.

   (B) RESTRICTION ON UNCERTIFICATED SHARES.--If the shares are not represented
by certificates, the business corporation may restrict their transfer from the
time of receipt of demand for payment until effectuation of the proposed
corporate action or the release of restrictions under the terms of section
1577(a) (relating to failure to effectuate corporate action).

   (C) RIGHTS RETAINED BY SHAREHOLDER.--The dissenter shall retain all other
rights of a shareholder until those rights are modified by effectuation of the
proposed corporate action.

                                      D-3
<PAGE>

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1577. Release of restrictions or payment for shares

   (A) FAILURE TO EFFECTUATE CORPORATE ACTION.--Within 60 days after the date
set for demanding payment and depositing certificates, if the business
corporation has not effectuated the proposed corporate action, it shall return
any certificates that have been deposited and release uncertificated shares
from any transfer restrictions imposed by reason of the demand for payment.

   (B) RENEWAL OF NOTICE TO DEMAND PAYMENT.--When uncertificated shares have
been released from transfer restrictions and deposited certificates have been
returned, the corporation may at any later time send a new notice conforming to
the requirements of section 1575 (relating to notice to demand payment), with
like effect.

   (C) PAYMENT OF FAIR VALUE OF SHARES.--Promptly after effectuation of the
proposed corporate action, or upon timely receipt of demand for payment if the
corporate action has already been effectuated, the corporation shall either
remit to dissenters who have made demand and (if their shares are certificated)
have deposited their certificates the amount that the corporation estimates to
be the fair value of the shares, or give written notice that no remittance
under this section will be made. The remittance or notice shall be accompanied
by:

     (1) The closing balance sheet and statement of income of the issuer of
  the shares held or owned by the dissenter for a fiscal year ending not more
  than 16 months before the date of remittance or notice together with the
  latest available interim financial statements.

     (2) A statement of the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the
  shares.

     (3) A notice of the right of the dissenter to demand payment or
  supplemental payment, as the case may be, accompanied by a copy of this
  subchapter.

   (D) FAILURE TO MAKE PAYMENT.--If the corporation does not remit the amount
of its estimate of the fair value of the shares as provided by subsection (c),
it shall return any certificates that have been deposited and release
uncertificated shares from any transfer restrictions imposed by reason of the
demand for payment. The corporation may make a notation on any such certificate
or on the records of the corporation relating to any such uncertificated shares
that such demand has been made. If shares with respect to which notation has
been so made shall be transferred, each new certificate issued therefor or the
records relating to any transferred uncertificated shares shall bear a similar
notation, together with the name of the original dissenting holder or owner of
such shares. A transferee of such shares shall not acquire by such transfer any
rights in the corporation other than those that the original dissenter had
after making demand for payment of their fair value.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1578. Estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares

   (A) GENERAL RULE.--If the business corporation gives notice of its estimate
of the fair value of the shares, without remitting such amount, or remits
payment of its estimate of the fair value of a dissenter's shares as permitted
by section 1577(c) (relating to payment of fair value of shares) and the
dissenter believes that the amount stated or remitted is less than the fair
value of his shares, he may send to the corporation his own estimate of the
fair value of the shares, which shall be deemed a demand for payment of the
amount or the deficiency.

   (B) EFFECT OF FAILURE TO FILE ESTIMATE.--Where the dissenter does not file
his own estimate under subsection (a) within 30 days after the mailing by the
corporation of its remittance or notice, the dissenter shall be entitled to no
more than the amount stated in the notice or remitted to him by the
corporation.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1579. Valuation proceedings generally

   (A) GENERAL RULE.--Within 60 days after the latest of:

     (1) effectuation of the proposed corporate action;

     (2) timely receipt of any demands for payment under section 1575
  (relating to notice to demand payment); or

                                      D-4
<PAGE>

     (3) timely receipt of any estimates pursuant to section 1578 (relating
  to estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares);

if any demands for payment remain unsettled, the business corporation may file
in court an application for relief requesting that the fair value of the shares
be determined by the court.

   (B) MANDATORY JOINDER OF DISSENTERS.--All dissenters, wherever residing,
whose demands have not been settled shall be made parties to the proceeding as
in an action against their shares. A copy of the application shall be served on
each such dissenter. If a dissenter is a nonresident, the copy may be served on
him in the manner provided or prescribed by or pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S. Ch. 53
(relating to bases of jurisdiction and interstate and international procedure).

   (C) JURISDICTION OF THE COURT.--The jurisdiction of the court shall be
plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint an appraiser to receive evidence
and recommend a decision on the issue of fair value. The appraiser shall have
such power and authority as may be specified in the order of appointment or in
any amendment thereof.

   (D) MEASURE OF RECOVERY.--Each dissenter who is made a party shall be
entitled to recover the amount by which the fair value of his shares is found
to exceed the amount, if any, previously remitted, plus interest.

   (E) EFFECT OF CORPORATION'S FAILURE TO FILE APPLICATION.--If the corporation
fails to file an application as provided in subsection (a), any dissenter who
made a demand and who has not already settled his claim against the corporation
may do so in the name of the corporation at any time within 30 days after the
expiration of the 60-day period. If a dissenter does not file an application
within the 30-day period, each dissenter entitled to file an application shall
be paid the corporation's estimate of the fair value of the shares and no more,
and may bring an action to recover any amount not previously remitted.

[Pa.C.S.] (S) 1580. Costs and expenses of valuation proceedings

   (A) GENERAL RULE.--The costs and expenses of any proceeding under section
1579 (relating to valuation proceedings generally), including the reasonable
compensation and expenses of the appraiser appointed by the court, shall be
determined by the court and assessed against the business corporation except
that any part of the costs and expenses may be apportioned and assessed as the
court deems appropriate against all or some of the dissenters who are parties
and whose action in demanding supplemental payment under section 1578 (relating
to estimate by dissenter of fair value of shares) the court finds to be
dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary, vexatious or in bad faith.

   (B) ASSESSMENT OF COUNSEL FEES AND EXPERT FEES WHERE LACK OF GOOD FAITH
APPEARS.--Fees and expenses of counsel and of experts for the respective
parties may be assessed as the court deems appropriate against the corporation
and in favor of any or all dissenters if the corporation failed to comply
substantially with the requirements of this subchapter and may be assessed
against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if
the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed
acted in bad faith or in a dilatory, obdurate, arbitrary or vexatious manner in
respect to the rights provided by this subchapter.

   (C) AWARD OF FEES FOR BENEFITS TO OTHER DISSENTERS.--If the court finds that
the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other
dissenters similarly situated and should not be assessed against the
corporation, it may award to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of
the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.
