SunGard’s "Safe Harbor" Statement under Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Statements in this release other than historical facts constitute forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "would," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates," or "anticipates" or similar expressions which concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Some of the factors that we believe could affect our results include: our high degree of leverage; general economic and market conditions; the overall condition of the financial services industry, including the effect of any further consolidation among financial services firms; the integration of acquired businesses, the performance of acquired businesses, and the prospects for future acquisitions; the effect of war, terrorism, natural disasters or catastrophic events; the effect of disruptions to our systems and infrastructure; the timing and magnitude of software sales; the timing and scope of technological advances; customers taking their information availability solutions in-house; the trend in information availability toward solutions utilizing more dedicated resources; the market and credit risks associated with clearing broker operations; the ability to retain and attract customers and key personnel; risks relating to the foreign countries where we transact business; the ability to obtain patent protection and avoid patent-related liabilities in the context of a rapidly developing legal framework for software and business-method patents; a material weakness in our internal controls; and unanticipated changes in our tax provision or the adoption of new tax legislation. The factors described in this paragraph and other factors that may affect our business or future financial results are discussed in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained from us without charge. We assume no obligation to update any written or oral forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf as a result of new information, future events or other factors.

| Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Information (Unaudited) | |
| Note 1. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Reconciliation of EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA | |
| EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to certain items that are required in calculating covenant compliance under our senior subordinated notes as well as under our senior secured credit facilities, as amended, which were entered into in August 2005 and our senior notes entered into in September 2008 and November 2010. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent net income (loss), as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management or discretionary use as such measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures (including capitalized software expense), tax payments and debt service requirements. SunGard considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our ability to pay our debt. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Further information regarding this reconciliation is included in our periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. | |

| Note 2. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income | |
| Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, stock-based compensation expense and management fee expense. Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. We have included information concerning adjusted operating income because we use such information when evaluating operating income to better evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income. | |

| Note 3. Impact of Broker/Dealer on Organic Revenue Growth of Continuing Operations | |
| The Company defines organic revenue as revenue from businesses owned for at least one year and excluding revenue from businesses sold in the previous twelve months further adjusted to remove the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Organic revenue excludes revenue from discontinued operations in all periods presented. When assessing its financial results, the Company focuses on organic revenue because reported revenue is affected by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions, dispositions and currency. Beginning in 2007, the Company experienced significant revenue volatility in one of our trading systems businesses, a broker/dealer business with inherently lower margins than the rest of the financial systems business, and whose revenue is a function of market volatility and customer mix. Reported revenue and organic revenue growth with and without the broker/dealer business for the total Company and Financial Systems for 2009, 2010 and 2011 follows: | |
