(d) & (e)

During the last five years, neither Oaktree nor the Oaktree Fund, nor to the
best of their knowledge any of their respective executive officers,
directors, general partners, members or portfolio managers (i) has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The Oaktree Fund beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,968,823 shares of Common
Stock. The Oaktree Fund acquired 3,968,54 shares of common stock upon the
exchange for 41,669,715 Series A Membership Interests of Caminus LLC, the
predecessor of the Company. An aggregate of $17,140,506 of working capital
funds was paid by the Oaktree Fund as consideration for such membership
interests. In addition, the Oaktree Fund received 434,939 shares from the
cashless exercise of options allocated to the initial investors of Caminus
LLC. On January 27, 2000, in connection with the initial public offering, the
Oaktree Fund sold 434,657 shares for $14.88 per share.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The Oaktree Fund acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes.
Oaktree, as the general partner of the Oaktree Fund, will evaluate the
Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and
all other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock will be acquired by the Oaktree Fund. The
investment strategy of the Oaktree Fund is generally to invest in entities in
which there is a potential to exercise significant influence over such
entities. Additional shares of Common Stock may be acquired in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions, or some or all of the shares
of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Oaktree
Fund may be sold. In connection with the Issuer's initial public offering,
the Oaktree Fund entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which it
agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that it will not offer, sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock owned by it prior to
July 27, 2000 without the prior written consent of the representatives of the
underwriters in the initial public offering. Subject to the terms of the
lock-up agreement, sales by the Oaktree Fund may be made at any time without
further prior notice. Other than as disclosed herein, Oaktree currently has
no agreements, beneficially or otherwise, which would be related to or would
result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D;
however, as part of its ongoing review of investment alternatives, Oaktree
may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may
formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time,
Oaktree may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or
the Board of Directors of the Issuer, to other shareholders of the Issuer
independently or at a regularly scheduled or special meeting of the
shareholders or to other third parties regarding such matters.

ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

  (a) Each of the Oaktree Fund and Oaktree, as general partner of the Oaktree
Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own 3,968,823 shares of Common Stock or
27.1% of the Common Stock outstanding (based on 14,665,693 shares outstanding
on January 27, 2000). To the best of the Oaktree Funds and Oaktree's
knowledge, none of the other people named in response to Item 2 own any
securities of the Issuer.

  (b) Oaktree, as the general partner of the Oaktree Fund, has discretionary
authority and control over all of the assets of the Oaktree Fund pursuant to
the partnership agreement for the Oaktree Fund, including the power to vote
and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock held in the name of the Oaktree
Fund. Oaktree and each of the individuals listed in Item 2 disclaims
ownership of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein and the
filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such
person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.

  (c) Except for the sale of 434,657 shares of Common Stock in connection with
the initial public offering on January 27, 2000, neither Oaktree nor the
Oaktree Fund, and to the best of their knowledge, none of the other people
named in response to Item 2 has effected transactions involving the Issuer's
Common Stock during the last 60 days.

  (d) No other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Issuer's
Common Stock beneficially owned by Oaktree and the Oaktree Fund, except to
the extent that the investment advisory clients of Oaktree and the partners
of the Oaktree Fund may have such right subject to the notice, withdrawal
and/or termination provisions of advisory and partnership arrangements. No
such client or partner has an interest by virtue of such relationship that
relates to more than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock.

  (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Oaktree, as general partner of the Oaktree Fund, receives a management fee for
managing the assets of the Oaktree Fund and has a carried interest in the
Oaktree Fund.

Christopher S. Brothers, a director of the Issuer and a Senior Vice President
of the Oaktree, is eligible to participate in the Issuer's stock option plan
but has not received any stock options pursuant to such plan. Pursuant to
Oaktree policies, Mr. Brothers cannot retain any such stock options granted
to him or shares issued pursuant thereto and assigns all pecuniary and voting
interests, including sole discretion on the exercise and sale of such
options, to the Oaktree Fund.

ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

The following is filed herewith as an Exhibit to this Statement:

  Exhibit 1.1    A written agreement relating to the filing of the joint filing
