the first six months of 1998 to $680.4 million in the comparable current period.
Approximately 40% of the year to date growth resulted from the inclusion of
revenues from the date of purchase of acquired companies and approximately 60%
from increases in revenue from the addition of new clients, growth in the
transaction volume experienced by existing clients and price increases.

COST OF REVENUES

Cost of revenues increased 8.6% from $258.4 million in the second quarter of
1998 to $280.7 million in the current second quarter, and 15.4% from $482.8
million in the first six months of 1998 to $557.2 million in the first six
months of 1999. The make up of cost of revenues has been affected by changes in
the mix of the Company's business as sales of software and related support
activities and securities processing operations have enjoyed an increasing
percentage of total revenues.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income increased 18.3% from $52.8 million in the second quarter of
1998 to $62.5 million in the current second quarter, and increased 20.5% from
$102.2 million in the first six months of 1998 to $123.1 million in the first
six months of 1999. As a percentage of revenues, operating margins were slightly
higher during both the second quarter and first six months of 1999 when compared
to the comparable prior year periods.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

Income taxes were computed at 41% in both 1999 and 1998. The 41% rate is
expected to apply throughout the current year.

NET INCOME

Net income for the second quarter increased 19.8% from $28.7 million in 1998 to
$34.3 million in 1999. Net income for the first six months increased 21.4% from
$55.8 million in 1998 to $67.8 million in 1999. Net income per share-diluted for
the second quarter was $.27 in 1999 compared to $.22 in 1998. Net income per
share-diluted for the first six months of 1999 was $.53 compared to $.44 in the
comparable 1998 period. The increases in net income per share-diluted for the
second quarter and first six months of 1999 over the comparable 1998 periods
amounted to $.05 and $.09, respectively.

YEAR 2000 SYSTEMS EVALUATION

The Company provides data processing and other related services to financial
institutions of all kinds. The Company has substantially completed the Year 2000
renovation, testing and implementation of its mission critical proprietary
systems used in providing service to its clients. Testing and implementation of
the remaining non-mission critical systems, which are not material to the
Company's business, are expected to be completed by the end of September 1999.

The Company has received Year 2000 disclosures prepared by its principal vendors
indicating that they will be Year 2000 compliant in all material respects. The
Company's contingency plans include actions required should any vendor
experience Year 2000-related problems. In addition, the Company has no reason to
believe that its clients will not be Year 2000 compliant in all material
respects, and in many cases has assisted its clients in their Year 2000 efforts.

The Company has met and believes it will continue to meet its Year 2000
compliance commitments using existing resources, without incurring significant
incremental expenses. Although the Company does not maintain accounting records
that separately identify all of the costs associated with its Year 2000
activities, it has estimated that commencing with 1996 such costs have
approximated $15 million annually. Estimated costs for 1999 when the entire
project is scheduled for completion is approximately $10 to $12 million.

The disclosure set forth above contains forward-looking statements.
Specifically, such statements are contained in sentences including the words
"will" or "expect" or "anticipate" or "could" or "should". Such forward-looking
statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements. The factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include the failure by
third parties to adequately remediate Year 2000 issues and the inability of the
Company to test and implement remaining non-mission critical systems. Failure by
the Company in making its proprietary systems Year 2000 compliant would have a
material adverse effect on its business. However, the Company expects that its
Year 2000 compliance efforts will be successful without any material adverse
effects on its business.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table summarizes the Company's primary sources of funds for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

</TABLE>

Long-term obligations amounted to $390.9 million at June 30, 1999. The majority
of this debt comprises $86.4 million of senior notes due 2000 to 2005 and $235.4
million advanced under an aggregate of $500.0 million in revolving credit
facilities. The credit facilities which expire in May 2004 are comprised of a
$250.0 million five year revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million 364-day
revolving credit facility. A facility fee of .1% to .2% per annum is required on
the entire credit facility regardless of usage.

The Company has historically applied a significant portion of its cash flow from
operating activities and long-term borrowings to acquisitions. The Company
believes that its cash flow from operating activities together with other
available sources of funds will be adequate to meet its funding requirements.
However, in the event that the Company makes significant future acquisitions, it
may raise funds through additional borrowings or issuance of securities.
