THE BISYS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, tabular dollars and share information in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
1.   Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    The Company
    The BISYS Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) provides outsourcing solutions to the financial services sector. The Investment Services segment provides administration and distribution services for mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, retirement plans, and other investment products. The Insurance Services segment provides independent wholesale distribution of life insurance and commercial property/casualty insurance, long-term care, disability, and annuity products.
    Discontinued Operations
    On September 15, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Information Services segment, which included the Banking Solutions and Document Solutions divisions, to Open Solutions Inc. for $471.3 million in cash. The transaction closed on March 3, 2006, and the Company recognized a gain of $203.7 million, net of tax.
 
    In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”), the financial results of the Company’s Information Services segment are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, the notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect historical amounts exclusive of discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted.
    Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual statements. The accompanying financial information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (“Fiscal 2006 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 may not be indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.
    Fiscal Year
    The Company’s fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30. Unless otherwise stated, references to the years 2007 and 2006 relate to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. References to future years also relate to the fiscal year ended June 30.
    Restricted Cash
    Unremitted insurance premiums are held in a fiduciary capacity and approximated $42.2 million and $40.2 million at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The period for which the Company holds such funds is dependent upon the date the agent or broker remits the payment of the premium to the Company and the date the Company is required to forward such payment to the insurer.
    Insurance Premiums and Commissions Receivable and Payable
    The Company has separately reflected receivables and payables arising from its insurance-related businesses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The captions “insurance premiums and commissions receivable” and “insurance premiums and commissions payable” include insurance premiums and commissions in the Company’s Commercial Insurance Services business. In its capacity as a commercial property and casualty wholesale broker and managing general agent, the Company collects premiums from other agents and brokers and, after deducting its commissions, remits the premiums to the respective insurers. In the Company’s Life Insurance Services business, commissions receivable from carriers are reflected net of amounts owed to agents and brokers as a component of “insurance premiums and commission receivable.” In

Table of Contents

    its capacity as a distributor of life insurance products, the Company typically receives commissions from the respective insurance carriers and remits the appropriate commission to agents and brokers after deducting its commission. Life insurance premiums are usually paid directly to the carrier by the insured.
    Investments
    Management determines the appropriate classification of investments in equity securities at the time of purchase. Marketable equity securities available for sale are carried at market value based upon quoted market prices. Unrealized gains or losses on available for sale securities are accumulated as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity, net of related deferred income taxes. Realized gains or losses are computed based on specific identification of the securities sold. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, proceeds from securities sold and the realized gains were not significant.
    Leases
    The Company leases facilities and equipment used in its operations, some of which are required to be capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (“FAS 13”). FAS 13 requires the capitalization of leases meeting certain criteria, with the related asset being recorded in property, plant and equipment subject to amortization and an offsetting amount recorded as a liability.
 
    Rental payments, including rent escalations, rent holidays, rent concessions and leasehold improvement incentives in connection with operating leases of real property, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
    Income Taxes
    The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided when the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset balances will not be realized.
 
    The provision for income taxes of $7.1 million and $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represent an effective tax rate of 29.7% in 2007 and 31.1% in 2006. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was impacted by an adjustment to reflect a retroactive change in the tax law. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the effective tax rate was impacted by the reversal of a loss contingency (relating to fiscal years 2001 through 2006) recorded at the conclusion of an IRS audit of the Company for the fiscal years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003.
 
    The provision for income taxes of $19.5 million and $22.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represent an effective tax rate of 30.1% in 2007 and 35.5% in 2006. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was impacted by the reversal in the first quarter of Fiscal 2007 of a loss contingency for state taxes for which the statute of limitations had expired and by an adjustment to reflect a retroactive change in the tax law. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the effective tax rate was impacted by the U.S. tax on the repatriation of earnings under the American Job Creation Act of 2004, the reversal of a loss contingency (relating to fiscal years 2001 through 2006) recorded at the conclusion of an IRS audit of the Company for the fiscal years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003, and permanent differences associated with certain error corrections recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to the Life Insurance Services business.
    New Accounting Pronouncements
    In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Specifically, FIN 48 requires the recognition in financial statements of the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition of previously recognized deferred tax items, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods related to uncertain tax positions, as well as, requires expanded disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (the Company’s Fiscal 2008), with the cumulative

    effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company has not completed its evaluation of adopting FIN 48.
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This Statement also applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit a fair value measure. As defined by this Statement, the fair value of an Asset or Liability would be based on an “exit price” basis rather than an “entry price” basis. Additionally, the fair value should be market-based and not an entity-based measurement. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Company’s Fiscal 2009). The Company has not completed its evaluation of adopting FAS 157 but does not expect the implementation of FAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
    In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The Company plans to apply the provisions of SAB 108 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2007. The Company does not expect the application of this interpretation to have an impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 enables companies to report selected financial assets and liabilities at their fair value. This statement also requires companies to provide additional information to help investors and other users of financial statements understand the effects of a company’s election to use fair value on its earnings. FAS 159 requires companies to display the fair value of assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet when a company elects to use fair value. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (the Company’s Fiscal 2009). The Company has not completed its evaluation of adopting FAS 159.
2.   Use of Estimates
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, acquired intangible assets, income taxes, legal and regulatory contingencies, and revenue recognition.
 
    The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
3.   Comprehensive Income

5.   Share-Based Compensation
    The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), which requires companies to expense the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in service and operating expense or selling, general and administrative expense based upon the department classification of each employee in the condensed consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
 
    The Company’s stock-based compensation primarily consists of the following:
 
    Stock Options: The Company generally grants stock options to employees and directors at exercise prices equal to fair market value of the Company’s stock at the dates of grant. Stock options are typically granted in the first fiscal quarter, generally vest 20% one year from date of grant and 20% each year thereafter and expire 10 years from the date of the award. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each stock option award.
 
    Restricted Stock: The Company awards shares of stock to employees that are restricted. Except for limited exceptions for some non-U.S. employees, the holder of restricted stock has voting rights and is entitled to receive all distributions including any dividends paid with respect to the stock during the period of restriction. The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to the issuance of restricted stock based on market price on the date of award over the period during which the restrictions expire, which is generally four years from the date of grant, on a straight-line basis.
 
    Employee Stock Purchase Plan: The Company has historically offered an employee stock purchase plan that grants eligible employees the right to purchase a limited number of shares of common stock each calendar year

Table of Contents

    through payroll deductions at 85% of the lower of either (1) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the first business day of the plan year (grant date) or (2) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the plan year (exercise date). Compensation expense is based upon the 15% discount and the fair value of the look-back feature under the employee stock purchase plan and is recognized ratably over the plan year, adjusted for withdrawals. The Company does not currently intend to offer an employee stock purchase plan for calendar year 2007.
 
    During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense ($0.9 million relating to stock options, $1.3 million relating to restricted stock and no expense relating to the employee stock purchase plan). During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $7.0 million of stock-based compensation expense ($2.4 million relating to stock options, $3.9 million relating to restricted stock and $0.7 relating to the employee stock purchase plan). During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in related tax benefits. As of March 31, 2007, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards, net of forfeitures, was approximately $18.9 million and is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted amortization period of 4.06 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company modified 416,476 stock options by extending the life of the options. The financial impact of the modification was $0.4 million. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company modified 832,940 stock options by extending the life of the options. The financial impact of the modifications was $0.7 million and is included in the stock-based compensation expenses detailed above.
    The fair values of stock options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
                 
    Nine Months Ended
    March 31,
    2007   2006
 
               
Expected life (in years)
    5.23       4.08  
Average risk-free interest rate
    4.83 %     4.11 %
Expected volatility
    40.4 %     39.6 %
Expected dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %
    The Company determined the expected life of the stock options using historical data. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury spot rates in effect at the time of the grant. Expected volatility was determined using a weighted average of implied market volatility combined with historical volatility. The Company determined that a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility better reflects expected future market conditions and better indicates expected volatility than purely historical volatility.
 
    The weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $5.19 and $5.69 per share, respectively.

6.   Restructuring
The Company incurred no restructuring costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and $1.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006. In the prior year, the restructuring charges were primarily related to the completion of the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters from New York to Roseland, New Jersey. The restructuring charges represent the excess of the future minimum lease commitments of the former New York headquarters over the expected sublease income, partially offset by a related deferred rent liability of approximately $0.3 million. The following summarizes activity with respect to the Company’s restructuring activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2007:

7.   Litigation and Regulatory Investigations
     Litigation
Following the Company’s May 17, 2004 announcement regarding the restatement of its financial results, seven putative class action and two derivative lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. By order of the Court, all but one of the putative class actions were consolidated into a single action, and on October 25, 2004, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint generally alleging that during the class period the Company, certain of its officers, and its independent registered public accounting firm allegedly violated the federal securities laws in connection with the purported issuance of false and misleading information concerning the Company’s financial condition. On October 28, 2005, the Court dismissed certain claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to six of the individual defendants, narrowed certain additional claims against the Company and the individual defendants and dismissed all claims as to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The remaining putative class action purported to be brought on behalf of all persons who acquired BISYS securities from the Company as part of private equity transactions during the class period. The complaint generally asserted that the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated the federal securities laws in connection with the purported issuance of false and misleading information concerning the Company’s financial condition, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount. The Court subsequently consolidated plaintiff’s complaint into the above complaint, but in August 2006, a magistrate judge issued a recommendation to the Court that it not certify the proposed class of non-publicly traded Company security holders. Plaintiff subsequently filed objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation.
On October 16, 2006, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle to settle the consolidated class action lawsuit (including claims relating to the second restatement filed on April 26, 2006), as well as the remaining putative class lawsuit on an individual basis. The parties signed two definitive stipulations of settlement dated as of October 30, 2006. Under the proposed settlements, the Company paid an aggregate of $66.5 million in cash into escrow accounts on November 15 and 16, 2006. The consolidated class action settlement received preliminary Court approval on November 6, 2006 but remains subject to, among other things, final Court approval. Following such approval, the funds will be disbursed to certain purchasers of BISYS securities according to a Court-approved distribution plan. A fairness hearing for the consolidated class action settlement was held on January 18, 2007, at which time the Court took the matter under advisement. If the Court determines that the settlement is fair to the class members, the settlement will be approved. The settlements include no admission of wrongdoing by the Company or any of the individual defendants and were funded through a combination of cash on hand and the Company’s existing credit facility.

The Company has reached an agreement with three of its insurers to recover a total of $16 million under its $25 million directors and officers liability policy. The Company has asserted a claim under its insurance policy against an additional insurance carrier for recovery of monetary losses of $5 million paid by the Company in excess of policy limits to settle the securities class action lawsuit. The parties participated in an unsuccessful mediation on April 17, 2007, and the Company is evaluating its options under the policy. There can be no assurance that the claim will be successful. The Company will not record a recovery related to this claim prior to final settlement.
The derivative complaints filed in 2004 purported to be brought on behalf of the Company and generally asserted that certain officers and directors were liable for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste, and unjust enrichment that purportedly occurred between October 23, 2000 and the time of the filing. The derivative complaints sought disgorgement, a constructive trust and damages in an unspecified amount. The Court ordered that the derivative actions be consolidated into a single action, and on November 24, 2004, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. On January 24, 2005, the Company and the individual defendants filed separate motions to dismiss the complaint. On October 31, 2005, the Court granted defendants’ motions, dismissing on the merits plaintiffs’ claim under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the ground that the Act does not create a private right of action upon which plaintiffs may sue. Having so ruled, the Court also dismissed plaintiffs’ state law claims on the ground that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over them. Plaintiffs appealed the rulings, but subsequently determined to dismiss with prejudice their appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Company agreed to such dismissal. Plaintiffs then filed two derivative complaints in New Jersey state court raising similar claims. One of these actions was subsequently dismissed. On February 27, 2007, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the remaining plaintiff to settle the claims brought in the plaintiff’s complaint. While the settlement remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation by the parties, approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and approval by the Court, it does not contemplate the payment of any amounts by the Company or the individual defendants, other than plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses which the Company believes will approximate $0.8 million (which will be funded from the proceeds previously received under the Company’s directors and officers liability policy described above).
The Company’s Life Insurance Services division was involved in litigation with a West Coast-based distributor of life insurance products, with which it had a former business relationship. The lawsuit, which was captioned Potomac Group West, Inc., et al, v. The BISYS Group, Inc., et al, was filed in September 2002 in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The original complaint asserted breach of contract and a number of tort claims against BISYS, several subsidiaries, and several employees. The Court subsequently dismissed all claims against BISYS, its subsidiaries, and its employees, leaving only a breach of contract claim against one BISYS subsidiary. Plaintiffs continued to assert that they had not been paid all monies due for covered insurance policies. A jury trial commenced on January 22, 2007, and on March 26, 2007, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company’s Potomac Insurance Marketing Group subsidiary on all counts and awarded the Company’s subsidiary $22 thousand on its counterclaim against the plaintiff for overpayment of commissions. The Company’s subsidiary has also filed a motion with the court seeking the payment of attorneys’ fees by the plaintiff. The court entered a final judgment in the Company’s favor on April 25, 2007. While the plaintiff has the right to appeal this judgment, the Company expects the verdict and judgment to prevail.
The Company is also involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has adequate defenses and/or insurance coverage against claims arising in such litigation and that the outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     Regulatory Investigations
The Company notified the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in May 2004 that it would restate certain prior period financial statements, and subsequently the SEC Staff advised the Company that the SEC was conducting an investigation into the facts and circumstances related to this restatement. On May 17, 2004, the Company announced that it would restate its financial results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001 and for the quarters ended December 31 and September 30, 2003 (the “2004 restatement”) in order to record adjustments for correction of errors resulting from various accounting matters in the Life Insurance Services division. An amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was filed with the SEC on August 10, 2004 along with amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31 and September 30, 2003 to reflect the restated financial results. In July 2005, the

13


Table of Contents

Company determined that an additional restatement of previously issued financial statements was necessary and the SEC’s investigation was expanded to include the 2005 restatement. On May 8, 2007, the SEC Staff informed the Company that the SEC approved the settlement offer of the Company with the respect to the SEC’s investigation into the 2004 and 2005 restatements. Under the settlement, which is subject to approval by the court in which the SEC’s complaint will be filed, the Company will consent to refrain from future violations of the reporting, books and records and internal control provisions of the federal securities laws and related SEC rules. The Company has agreed to pay $25.1 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, which amount was placed in escrow in January 2007 in the settlement.
On September 26, 2006, the SEC approved the settlement offer of the Company with respect to the SEC’s investigation of certain of the Company’s past marketing and distribution arrangements in its mutual funds services business. The practices at issue related to the structure and accounting for arrangements pursuant to which BISYS Fund Services (“BFS”), a subsidiary of the Company, agreed with the advisers of certain U.S. mutual funds to use a portion of the administration fees paid to BFS by the mutual funds to pay for, among other things, expenses relating to the marketing and distribution of the fund shares, to make payments to certain advisers and to pay for certain other expenses. The Company identified 27 fund support arrangements to the SEC, all of which were entered into prior to December 2003 and have been terminated.
The settlement resolved the issues with respect to all fund support arrangements disclosed by the Company to the Staff and provided for the simultaneous initiation and settlement of an administrative proceeding through the entry of an administrative order. The order set forth the SEC’s findings that BFS aided and abetted violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act, Sections 12(b) and 34(b) of the Investment Company Act and SEC Rule 12(b)-1(d). These rules and regulations prohibit investment advisers from employing any device, scheme or artifice to defraud and from engaging in any course of business that would operate as a fraud, prohibit untrue statements or omissions of material facts in certain documents filed with the SEC, and regulate the circumstances under which open-end mutual funds may participate in the distribution of the securities that they issue. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, BFS consented to cease and desist from aiding and abetting or causing any violations of the referenced provisions of the federal securities laws and related SEC rules. The order also required BFS to disgorge $9.7 million and pay prejudgment interest of $1.7 million and a penalty of $10 million, as well as BFS to agree to certain undertakings. As part of the settlement, for a period of up to 18 months following the order of settlement, BFS has retained an Independent Consultant to review BFS’ policies and procedures governing (i) the receipt of revenues and payment of expenses associated with its administrative, fund accounting and distribution services, and (ii) the accuracy of disclosures to fund boards of directors concerning agreements between BFS, the funds, advisors, banks and related entities with respect to those services. BFS has also retained an Independent Distribution Consultant to review and administer the plan of distribution of the funds paid by BFS as part of the settlement.
The Company established an initial estimated liability of $20.9 million at June 30, 2005, representing expected amounts to be paid as part of this settlement, which was comprised of an estimated $9.7 million disgorgement recognized as a reduction to 2005 revenues, and an estimated fine of $10 million and prejudgment interest of $1.2 million recognized as an operating expense in 2005. During 2006, the liability was increased to $21.4 million to properly reflect interest associated with the settlement. The Company paid the entire settlement amount in October 2006.
At June 30, 2006, the Company established estimated liabilities of $25.1 million and $66.5 million for the SEC settlement associated with the 2004 and 2005 restatements and the settlement of the class action suits, respectively. Both liabilities were recognized as an operating expense in 2006.
At December 31, 2006, the Company established an estimated liability of $0.8 million for the settlement associated with the derivative lawsuits. The liability was recognized as an operating expense in the nine months ended March 31, 2007.
In March 2007, the Company received a favorable verdict in the Potomac Group West litigation matter. As a result, a $2.4 million reserve, representing the Company’s initial assessment of its exposure relating to this

For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized insurance recoveries of $9.1 million. Amounts recovered have been recognized as a reduction to legal expenses and related litigation settlements. The Company has received total insurance proceeds of $16.0 million associated with its directors and officers policy and $5.0 million associated with its errors and omissions policy, representing the final agreed payments from three of its insurance carriers. The Company filed a request for mediation under its policy to assert a claim against the remaining excess carrier. On April 17, 2007, the Company participated in an unsuccessful mediation and is currently reviewing its options under the policy.
Legal fees and related costs for litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and exclusive of the specific aforementioned litigation and investigatory matters, are included in the caption “Selling, general and administrative” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

9.   Borrowings
 
    In January 2006, the Company terminated the previous credit facility that was entered into in March 2004 and entered into a new Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders, providing for (i) an interim revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolver”) and (ii) an interim term loan in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million (the “Term Loan”; together with the Revolver, the “Interim Facility”). The maturity date of the Interim Facility was January 2, 2007. The proceeds of the Revolver may be used for working capital and other corporate purposes. The Term Loan commitment was subsequently cancelled since the proceeds were not required to repay the Company’s $300 million of convertible subordinated notes, which were repaid in March 2006 using proceeds from the sale of the Information Services segment (see Note 12 — “Discontinued Operations”).
 
    In August 2006, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date of the Interim Facility from January 2, 2007 to June 30, 2007. On November 15, 2006, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the time to deliver its Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2007 until March 1, 2007 and May 1, 2007, respectively, without resulting in a default. The amendment also gives the Company the option to extend the maturity date under the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to request a term loan of up to $50 million under the Interim Facility. The Lender, or participating lenders if the Interim Facility is syndicated, has no obligation to make such term loan.

Table of Contents

On December 20, 2006, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for a term loan in the aggregate amount of up to $50 million, which could have been drawn on or before January 15, 2007. The Company did not draw down on the term loan.
The Interim Facility bears interest at (i) a base rate equal to the higher of the bank’s prime lending rate or the applicable federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (ii) at an applicable margin above the Eurodollar rate. The amount of the applicable margin is 0.75%, and the commitment fee on the unborrowed funds available under the Revolver is 0.15%.
The loans under the Interim Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s significant subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains various representations, warranties and covenants. Financial covenants require the Company to meet certain financial tests on an on-going basis, including minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and total leverage ratio, based upon its consolidated financial results.
Debt outstanding at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 is as follows:

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview
We provide outsourcing solutions that enable investment firms, insurance companies, and banks to more efficiently serve their customers, grow their businesses, and respond to evolving regulatory requirements. We currently support clients in the financial services industry through two business segments: Investment Services and Insurance Services.
Our segments are separately managed strategic business units that offer different products and services. The Investment Services segment provides outsourcing services, including administration and distribution, to domestic and offshore mutual fund complexes, hedge funds and private equity funds and retirement plan services to small to mid-size retirement plans. The Insurance Services segment provides distribution solutions for commercial property and casualty, annuities, life, long-term care, disability and special risk insurance products.
Our objectives are to increase our client base and to expand the services we offer to our clients. We seek to be the premier, full-service outsourcing business partner focused on enhancing our clients’ growth, profits and performance. We seek to build value for our shareholders by increasing both revenues and earnings per share, through a combination of organic growth from existing clients, cross sales to existing clients, sales to new clients and strategic acquisitions.
Recent Developments
On August 10, 2006, our Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Russell P. Fradin, our President, Director and Chief Executive Officer effective September 5, 2006. Robert J. Casale, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, will serve as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer while we seek a permanent successor. We also announced that we initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives as part of our continued efforts to maximize shareholder value. Our Board of Directors has engaged Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., a related party, to advise us in connection with this process.
On September 12, 2006, in connection with our initiative to explore strategic alternatives, we entered into retention bonus agreements with certain key employees, including certain executive officers of the Company. Under these agreements, we offered two separate bonus opportunities of equal amounts to selected employees. The first bonus payment became payable March 8, 2007, provided that the employee remained with the Company. The second bonus payment will be payable September 8, 2007, if the employee remains with the Company and there has been a “change in control” of the Company. If any employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for “cause” before a payment is made, the employee would not receive that payment. We recognized the first bonus as compensation expense ratably over the service period, which ended on March 8, 2007. The second bonus will be recognized ratably over the remaining applicable service period upon the consummation of a “change of control” of the Company as specified in the agreement. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized compensation expense associated with these agreements of $1.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2007, we have paid $6.4 million associated with these retention bonuses. Aggregate future payments in connection with the second bonus payment and other retention bonuses may range up to $6.0 million. As of March 31, 2007, an accrual for the second bonus payments has not been established as there has been no “change in control” of the Company.
On May 2, 2007, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement under which Citibank N.A. (“Citi”) would acquire all of our outstanding shares in a transaction valued at approximately $1.45 billion. BISYS shareholders would receive $12.00 cash in cash per share, consisting of $11.85 per share to be paid by Citi at the closing of the acquisition and a special dividend of $0.15 per share in cash payable by BISYS, and conditioned upon the closing of the acquisition.

     Continuing Operations
Revenues increased 9.4% from $211.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $231.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Revenue growth was derived from increased sales to existing clients and sales to new clients in our Investment Services segment and the impact of acquisitions made in our Insurance Services segment. Revenues were higher in Fund Services primarily due to distribution (12B-1) revenues resulting from higher asset values versus a year ago. Revenue growth was offset, somewhat, due to softer market conditions in our Commercial Insurance Services business, where increased competition among insurance carriers led to lower premiums and lower retention of renewals, directly impacting commission revenues compared to a year ago. Our internal revenue growth (excluding acquisitions and divestitures) approximated 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus a year ago.
Service and operating expenses increased 12.5% from $136.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $154.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and increased as a percentage of revenues from 64.6% to 66.5%. The dollar and percentage increase was primarily due to higher distribution (12B-1) fees

in our Fund Services business, the impact of acquisitions in our Insurance Services segment, and to higher headcount-related costs (including facilities) relating to initiatives supporting growth, employee retention and severance in our Alternative Investment Services businesses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.1%, or $1.6 million, from $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and decreased as a percentage of revenues from 18.6% to 17.7%. The dollar increase was primarily driven by corporate expenses associated with the company-wide retention bonus program (See Note 14 — “Other Commitments”) and higher professional and consulting fees. This increase was somewhat offset by a $1.0 million gain recognized in the Life Insurance Services business associated with the settlement of a legal claim.
Operating margins were 10.0% and 14.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating earnings decreased by $6.9 million to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $30.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Operating earnings in the prior year period included a $9.0 million insurance recovery, which more than offset litigation and regulatory costs incurred during the period. In the current quarter, litigation and regulatory costs were lowered by a $2.4 million reserve reduction resulting from the Potomac Group West verdict. Operating earnings expanded in our Investment Services segment due to strong revenue growth in our Alternative Investment Services businesses, which offset operating earnings decline in our Fund Services business and Insurance Services segment. Finally, corporate expenses were higher versus a year ago due to the company-wide retention bonus program.
Interest expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $3.4 million a year ago. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to our repayment of $300 million of convertible subordinate notes and $54 million of term loans in Fiscal 2006.
The provision for income taxes of $7.1 million and $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represent an effective tax rate of 29.7% in 2007 and 31.1% in 2006. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was impacted by an adjustment to reflect a retroactive change in the tax law. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the effective tax rate was impacted by the reversal of a loss contingency (relating to fiscal years 2001 through 2006) recorded at the conclusion of an IRS audit of the Company for the fiscal years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003.

     Continuing Operations
Revenues increased 6.4% from $624.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $664.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Revenue growth was derived through increased sales to existing clients, sales to new clients and the impact of acquired businesses, partially offset by client attrition in our Fund Services business and lower revenues in our Commercial Insurance Services business. Our internal revenue growth (excluding acquisitions and divestitures) approximated 4.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 versus a year ago.
Service and operating expenses increased 10.4% from $400.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $442.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and increased as a percentage of revenues from 64.1% to 66.7%. The dollar and percentage increase was primarily due to higher headcount-related costs (including facilities) in our Alternative Investment Services businesses and the impact of acquisitions in our Insurance Services segment and higher distribution fees (12b-1) in our Fund Services business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5.4%, or $6.2 million, from $115.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $121.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and decreased as a percentage of revenues from 18.4% to 18.2%. The dollar increase was primarily driven by corporate expenses associated with the company-wide retention bonus program (See Note 14 — “Other Commitments”) coupled with higher professional and consulting fees, somewhat offset by a $1.9 million gain recognized in the Commercial Insurance Services business for the sale of a book of business and $1.0 million gain associated with a settlement of a legal claim recorded in the Life Insurance Services business.

Operating margins were 9.2% and 11.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Operating earnings decreased by $10.8 million to $61.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $72.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The margin and dollar declines were primarily due to lower margins in our Insurance Services segment due to lower sales in our Commercial Insurance Services business and the impact of acquisitions. In addition, margins in our Fund Services business declined due to client attrition and increased distribution (12b-1) fees. Corporate costs were higher than the previous year as a result of the company-wide retention bonus program. Litigation and regulatory settlements were higher in the current year primarily due to the timing of insurance recoveries and legal settlements. The favorable year to date performance of our Alternative Investment Services and Retirement Services businesses somewhat offset the overall decline in margins and operating earnings.
Interest expense was $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $13.8 million a year ago. The decline in interest expense was primarily due to our repayment of $300 million of convertible subordinate notes and $54 million of term loans in Fiscal 2006.
The provision for income taxes of $19.5 million and $22.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, represent an effective tax rate of 30.1% in 2007 and 35.5% in 2006. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was impacted by the reversal in the first quarter of Fiscal 2007 of a loss contingency for state taxes for which the statute of limitations had expired and by an adjustment to reflect a retroactive change in the tax law. For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the effective tax rate was impacted by the U.S. tax on the repatriation of earnings under the American Job Creation Act of 2004, the reversal of a loss contingency (relating to fiscal years 2001 through 2006) recorded at the conclusion of an IRS audit for the fiscal years ended 2001, 2002 and 2003, and permanent differences associated with certain error corrections recorded in the first quarter of 2006 related to the Life Insurance Services business.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges
We incurred no restructuring costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and $1.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2006. In the prior year, the restructuring charges of $1.4 million were primarily related to the relocation of our corporate headquarters from New York to Roseland, New Jersey. The restructuring charges represent the excess of the future minimum lease commitments of the former New York headquarters over the expected sublease income, partially offset by a related deferred rent liability of approximately $0.3 million. The following summarizes activity with respect to our restructuring activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2007:

On March 26, 2007, we received a favorable verdict in the Potomac Group West litigation. As a result, the $2.4 million that was accrued has been recognized as a reduction to litigation settlements for the quarter-ended March 31, 2007. We have also filed a motion with the court seeking the payment of attorneys’ fees by the plaintiff.
In Fiscal 2006, we reached an agreement regarding coverage with our insurance carriers that resulted in an insurance recovery of $11.9 million for certain legal expenses incurred by us in connection with the aforementioned litigation and investigatory matters. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized insurance recoveries of $9.1 million. Amounts recovered have been recognized as a reduction to legal expenses and related litigation settlements. We have received total insurance proceeds of $16.0 million associated with our directors and officers policy and $5.0 million associated with our errors and omissions policy, representing the final agreed payments from three of our insurance carriers. We have asserted a claim against the remaining carrier. On April 17, 2007, we participated in an unsuccessful mediation and are currently reviewing our options under the policy.
Legal fees and related costs for litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and exclusive of the specific aforementioned litigation and investigatory matters, are included in the caption “Selling, general and administrative” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Segment Information
The following table sets forth revenue and operating income by business segment and for corporate operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Measures used to assess segment performance include revenues and operating earnings, exclusive of restructuring and impairment charges and litigation and regulatory settlements. Segment operating earnings exclude restructuring and impairment charges and litigation and regulatory settlements since they are not allocated to the segments for internal evaluation purposes. While these items are identifiable to the business segments, they are not included in the measurement of segment operating earnings provided to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and decision making with respect to resource allocation.

     Investment Services
     Revenues
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, internal revenue growth (excluding acquisitions and divestitures) for our Investment Services segment approximated 11.2% and 7.4%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall, revenues in the Investment Services business segment increased $16.8 million, or 11.2%, and $32.5 million, or 7.4%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the respective year ago period. The increase in revenues is primarily due to strong revenue growth in our Alternative Investment Services businesses which benefited from the impact of new clients versus a year ago, fund asset growth and fee increases for certain services. In addition, revenues grew in our Retirement Services business as we were able to provide increased plan amendment services to our existing client base. Finally, revenues declined in our Fund Services business due to key client losses and the reduction of certain fees to existing clients. The revenue decline in our Fund Services business was offset somewhat by higher distribution (12B-1) revenues as a result of asset growth in certain funds.
     Operating Earnings
Operating income in the Investment Services segment increased $3.1 million, or 18.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and increased $2.0 million, or 3.9%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the respective year ago periods. Operating margin increased to 12.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus 11.5% in the year ago period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, operating margin declined to 11.3%, compared to 11.6% in the prior year. Operating earnings and margins for the three months ended March 31, 2007 benefited from strong revenue growth in our Alternative Investment Services businesses, which outpaced incremental costs during the period. Margin and earnings expansion more than offset the impact of lower margin and earnings in our Fund Services business, which was impacted by higher distribution (12b-1) fees during the period. On a year to date basis, operating earnings benefited from revenue and margin expansion in our Alternative Investment Services businesses and Retirement Services business. However, year to date margins declined as higher margin revenues (lost due to client attrition in our Fund Services business) have been replaced with lower margin distribution (12b-1) revenues. For the full fiscal year 2007, margins in the Investment Services segment are expected to be comparable but slightly lower than the prior year, and internal revenue growth is expected to expand modestly. New business revenue growth has been delayed to some extent in our Investment Services segment due to the strategic alternative review process that has resulted in the execution of the merger agreement with Citibank N.A. on May 1, 2007.
     Insurance Services
     Revenues
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, internal revenue growth (excluding acquisitions and divestitures) for the Insurance Services segment approximated (0.7)% and (1.2)%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Overall, revenues in the Insurance Services segment increased $3.0 million, or 4.9%, and $7.2 million, or 4.0%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the respective year ago period. The overall increase in revenues was primarily the result of acquisitions in both the Commercial and Life Insurance Services businesses. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues declined in the Commercial Insurance Services business for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 versus the prior year. The revenue decline in the Commercial Insurance Services business was primarily the result of softer market conditions resulting in lower premiums and lower retention of renewals in certain product lines within the business. In the Life Insurance Services business, excluding the impact of acquisitions, revenues increased in both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of internal sales activity during the third quarter.
     Operating Earnings
Operating income in the Insurance Services segment decreased $1.7 million, or 10.8%, and $7.3 million, or 15.0%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the respective year ago period. Operating margin declined to 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 versus 25.5% in the year ago period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, operating margin declined to 21.7%, compared to 26.6% in the prior year. The dollar and margin decrease was primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, increased headcount-related costs, increased professional and consulting fees, and the impact of lower revenues in the Commercial Insurance Services business. This dollar and margin decrease was somewhat offset by a $1.9 million gain recognized in the Commercial Insurance Services business for the sale of a book

28


Table of Contents

of business and a $1.0 million gain recognized in the Life Insurance Services business associated with a legal settlement. For the full fiscal year 2007, margins in the Insurance Services segment are expected to be two to three percentage points lower than the prior year, and internal revenue growth is expected to be slightly negative.
     Corporate Expenses
Corporate operations represent charges for our human resources, legal, accounting and finance functions, and various other unallocated overhead charges. Corporate expenses increased $1.1 million, or 11.3%, and $4.6 million, or 16.9%, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the respective year ago period. The increase was primarily due to expenses associated with our company-wide retention bonus program (See Note 14 — “Other Commitments”) and higher professional and consulting fees, somewhat offset by lower headcount and severance related costs. For the full fiscal year 2007, corporate expenses are expected to be higher than the prior year due to the corporate-wide bonus retention program.
Financial Condition
At March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $87.0 million and $159.6 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. at March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006 amounted to $35.2 million and $26.3 million, respectively. During the current fiscal year, cash and cash equivalents were impacted by net payments made for the settlement of certain litigation and regulatory matters of $113.0 million, business acquisitions of $21.8 million and a final tax payment of $13.0 million related to the disposition of our Information Services segment. Stockholders’ equity increased to $998.3 million at March 31, 2007 from $941.6 million at June 30, 2006. Stockholders’ equity benefited from net income and the utilization of treasury stock for stock option exercises.
Capital expenditures, including capitalized software costs, were $13.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash requirements and liquidity needs over the next twelve months are expected to be funded through cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and our capacity to borrow. Our current revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $100 million. On March 14, 2006, we used the net proceeds from the sale of the Information Services segment for the repayment of the $300 million of outstanding 4% convertible subordinated notes due March 2006 (see Note 9 — “Borrowings”). At March 31, 2007, we had $87.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $129.1 million. In October 2006, we paid $66.5 million to settle the class action suit, and in November 2006, we paid $21.4 million to settle the SEC investigation relating to our Fund Services business. In November 2006, we borrowed $20 million through our existing credit facility (see below) to help fund these payments. In January 2007, we paid $25.1 million into an escrow account pending the final approval by the SEC of our proposed settlement of the SEC investigation relating to our financial restatements (see Note 7 — “Litigation and Regulatory Investigations”).
In January 2006, we entered into a Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders, providing for (i) an interim revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million (the “Revolver”) and (ii) an interim term loan in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million (the “Term Loan,” together with the Revolver, the “Interim Facility”). The proceeds of the Revolver may be used for working capital and other corporate purposes. The Term Loan commitment was subsequently cancelled since the proceeds were no longer required to repay the $300 million of Notes. On August 31, 2006, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the Maturity Date of the Interim Facility from January 2, 2007 to June 30, 2007, lower the applicable margin rate on Eurodollar borrowings from 1.25% to 0.75% and lower the commitment fee on the unborrowed funds from 0.25% to 0.15%. On November 15, 2006, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend to January 15, 2007 the time to deliver the Fiscal 2006 Form 10-K and the related compliance certificate and to also extend the time to deliver our Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of Fiscal 2007 until March 1, 2007 and May 1, 2007, respectively, without resulting in a default. The amendment gives us the option to extend the Maturity Date of the Credit Agreement from June 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us to request a term loan of up to $50 million under the Interim Facility. The lender, or participating lenders if the Interim Facility is syndicated, has no obligation to make such term loan. On December 20, 2006, we entered into a third

29


Table of Contents

amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for a term loan in the aggregate amount of up to $50 million, which could have been drawn on or before January 15, 2007. We did not draw down on the term loan.
At March 31, 2007, we had $5.0 million remaining in outstanding borrowings against our $100 million revolving credit facility and $6.8 million outstanding in letters of credit.
We manage our debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of fixed- and floating-rate debt. While changes in the interest rates could decrease our interest income or increase our interest expense, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to changes in interest rates based on the relative size of our interest bearing assets and liabilities. We do not undertake any specific actions concerning exposure to interest rate risk, and we are not party to any interest rate derivative transactions. Previously, we utilized foreign currency forward contracts to manage our foreign exchange risk. These instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and were recognized as earnings in the same period as the items that they generally offset. There are no foreign currency contracts in place as of March 31, 2007.
Our strategy includes the acquisition of complementary businesses financed by a combination of internally generated funds, borrowings from the revolving credit facility, long-term debt and common stock. Our policy is to retain earnings to support future business opportunities, rather than to pay dividends (except for the special dividend contemplated as part of the definitive agreement reached with Citibank N.A.). We have historically used a significant portion of our cash flow from operations to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures, with any remainder used to reduce outstanding borrowings or repurchase our own common stock. We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under the revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our funding requirements.
Accounts receivable represented 55 and 50 days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, based on quarterly revenues. The calculation of DSO for accounts receivable excludes insurance premiums and commissions receivable arising from our insurance-related businesses. DSO is less relevant for this type of receivable because it includes premiums that are ultimately remitted to the insurer and not recognized as revenue. Additionally, certain life insurance commissions due from insurance carriers have customary payment terms of up to twelve months. We perform credit evaluations of our customers in conjunction with our new business development processes. The customers are assessed for credit worthiness based on their financial position, and payment terms are generally negotiated at the time contracts are signed. We regularly evaluate our accounts receivable position relative to our revenues and monitor our accounts receivable aging as part of managing our receivable portfolio. Credit risk is generally mitigated by reasonably short payment terms, the nature of our customers (i.e., commercial banks, multi-line financial institutions, mutual funds, and insurance carriers) and our large and diverse customer base. We generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.4 million at March 31, 2007.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, operating activities used cash of $39.6 million, including payments relating to legal settlements of $113.0 million and a tax payment of $13.0 million related to the sale of our Information Services segment in Fiscal 2006. Net income from continuing operations totaled $45.3 million, with depreciation and amortization of $37.9 million, deferred taxes of $28.8 million, and other non-cash charges of $6.6 million, offset by changes in working capital items of $33.2 million. Investing activities used cash of $40.7 million, including $21.8 million in net payments for the acquisition of businesses and $13.9 million of capital expenditures. Financing activities provided cash of $7.6 million, including short-term borrowings of $20.0 million (offset by payments of $15.0 million), proceeds from the issuance of stock (primarily associated with our employee stock purchase plan) of $4.3 million, proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.8 million, offset by the repurchase of common stock of $1.4 million and payment of long term debt of $1.4 million.
Repurchases of our common stock have occurred from time to time in the open market to offset the possible dilutive effect of shares issued under employee benefit plans, for possible use in future acquisitions, and for general and other corporate purposes. The following table presents stock repurchase activity during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended June 30, 2006 under programs authorized by the Board of Directors, disclosing total shares repurchased under each program and the associated cost. Upon authorization of each new stock repurchase program, the former program is superseded and replaced. The current repurchase program has no set expiration date. In addition to shares purchased in the open market under the buy-back program, we also purchase shares of common stock held by employees who wish to tender owned shares to

satisfy tax withholding on restricted stock vesting and Rabbi Trust distributions. In March 2005, we suspended our open market stock repurchase program and do not currently expect to engage in further stock repurchase activity under the program during the pendency of our proposed merger with Citibank N.A. All of the shares purchased in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 were surrendered to us by employees in order to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Specifically, FIN 48 requires the recognition in financial statements of the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the derecognition of previously recognized deferred tax items, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods related to uncertain tax positions, as well as, requires expanded disclosures. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 (our Fiscal 2008), with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We have not completed our evaluation of adopting FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This Statement also applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit a fair value measure. As defined by this Statement, the fair value of an Asset or Liability would be based on an “exit price” basis rather than an “entry price” basis. Additionally, the fair value should be market-based and not an entity-based measurement. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our Fiscal 2009). We have not completed our evaluation of adopting FAS 157 but do not expect the implementation of FAS 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. We plan to apply the provisions of SAB 108 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2007. We do not expect the application of this interpretation to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

31


Table of Contents

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 enables companies to report selected financial assets and liabilities at their fair value. This statement also requires companies to provide additional information to help investors and other users of financial statements understand the effects of a company’s election to use fair value on its earnings. FAS 159 requires companies to display the fair value of assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet when a company elects to use fair value. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 (our Fiscal 2009). We have not completed our evaluation of adopting FAS 159.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as contemplated in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K, other than outstanding letters of credit totaling $6.8 million. Our $300 million Convertible Subordinated Notes were paid off on March 14, 2006.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the securities laws that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and assumptions concerning future events. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by or on behalf of management. These statements are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected. Words such as “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates, “projects,” “plans,” “targets,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements made in this report are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved.
The risks, uncertainties and assumptions which forward-looking statements are subject to include: the impact of our proposed merger with Citibank N.A.; achieving planned revenue growth in each of our business units; renewal of material contracts in our business units consistent with past experience; successful and timely integration of significant businesses acquired by us and realization of anticipated synergies; our ability to successfully compete on price, products, and services with U.S. and non-U.S. competitors, including new entrants; changes in U.S. and non-U.S. governmental regulations; the timely implementation of our financial plans; general U.S. and non-U.S. economic and political conditions, including the global economic environment and interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuation; continuing development and maintenance of appropriate business continuity plans for our processing systems; absence of consolidation among client financial institutions or other client groups; timely conversion of new customer data to our platforms; attracting and retaining qualified key employees; no material breach of security of any of our systems; control of costs and expenses; continued availability of financing, and financial resources on the terms required to support our future business endeavors; the mix of products and services; costs and risks associated with remediating material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting and compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental or regulatory proceedings. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.
These are representative of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the outcome of the forward-looking statements. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and other future events.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not have material exposure to market risk from derivative or non-derivative financial instruments. We do not utilize such instruments to manage market risk exposures or for trading or speculative purposes. We do, however, invest available cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately $87.0 million of cash and cash equivalents invested in highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less, including $3.3 million of overnight repurchase agreements. We believe that potential near-term losses in future earnings, fair values and cash flows from reasonably possible near-term changes in the market rates for such instruments are not material to us. We manage our debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of fixed- and floating-rate debt. While changes in interest rates could decrease our interest income or increase our interest expense, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to changes in interest rates based on the relative size of our interest bearing assets and liabilities. We do not undertake any specific actions concerning exposure to interest rate risk and we are not party to any interest rate derivative transactions.
We conduct a portion of our business internationally exposing earnings, cash flows and financial position to foreign currency risks. The majority of these risks are associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency. Our policy on foreign currency risk is to manage these risks to the extent they have the potential to be material.
In the past, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to specifically- identified operating expenses. At March 31, 2007, we did not have any foreign currency forward contracts. At March 31, 2006, outstanding contracts totaled $0.7 million in notional value and required us to purchase currencies at specific rates. These instruments were accounted for as foreign currency cash flow hedges of specifically identified euro-denominated operating expenses. Changes in the fair value of these instruments were carried in other comprehensive income and were reclassified to service and operating expenses when the underlying hedged operating expenses were recognized.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2007 at the reasonable assurance level, because of the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”), which we are still in the process of remediating. Please see “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K for a full description of these weaknesses.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K, we believe our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Remediation Efforts
As of the date of this filing, we have taken or are currently taking the following steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding such efforts, the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K, will not be remediated until the new controls operate for a sufficient period of time and are tested (in accordance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) to enable management to conclude that the controls are operating effectively. Until full remediation of these material weaknesses, we are relying on enhanced accounting reviews by corporate finance; certain manual procedures, including the centralized review of key contracts and transactions; and the utilization of outside professionals to supplement our staff in assisting us in meeting the objectives otherwise fulfilled by an effective control environment.
  1.   Control environment. We have taken, and are developing further plans to take, significant actions to improve our control environment and eliminate the material weakness. The Company hired a new CFO in August 2005 to oversee the transition of financial responsibilities, address staffing matters and implement improved controls and procedures. Our CEO and CFO, together with other senior executives, are committed to maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards and financial reporting integrity. Several of these steps have been taken as of the date of this filing but have not been in place for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated:
    Evaluated key financial positions and added senior management personnel focused on financial accounting, financial reporting and financial controls, resulting in the replacement of eight out of the ten most senior finance positions in the Company including CFO, Controller, Vice President of Internal Audit, and Assistant Controller. We continue to evaluate and take appropriate actions with

      respect to certain employees in management, internal audit and financial reporting functions, which may include further training, supervision and/or reassignment.
    Created a direct reporting line from the business unit accountants to the Corporate Controller in an effort to ensure the independence of accounting decisions.
 
    Created new controller positions for each of our businesses.
 
    Continue to develop and revise our written accounting policies and procedures to establish a comprehensive up-to-date accounting manual, including revenue and expense recognition guidelines and processes.
 
    Establish enhanced quarterly accounting reviews and formal training programs for financial staff in an effort to ensure all relevant personnel are familiar with our accounting policies, control processes and have the necessary competency, training and supervision for their assigned level of responsibility and the nature and complexity of our business.
 
    Required all finance staff to complete ethics training.
 
    Engaged third party education material vendor to provide course material for continuing education for all finance personnel.
 
    Continue to enhance our “tone at the top” and “whistleblower” procedures, including the engagement of a third party vendor to provide an independent whistleblower hotline service, to increase the likelihood that concerns related to financial reporting or the control environment will be timely reported and properly evaluated.
 
    Maintain and enhance a quarterly and annual sub-certification process requiring written confirmations from business and finance managers as to the operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding such effort, the material weakness described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K has not yet been remediated.
  2.   Controls over revenue recognition. The following are the actions we have taken or plan on taking, to improve our controls over revenue recognition and eliminate the material weakness:
    Implemented procedures to ensure new customer contracts are identified and evaluated by the appropriate level of personnel within each operating division to ensure proper recording of revenue and deferred revenue, with particular attention given to contracts with up front payments terms, including conversion fees.
 
    Developed procedures to ensure the accounting for significant and unusual contracts are reviewed by qualified, senior level personnel within the corporate finance department.
 
    Continue to enhance contractual documentation requirements for all new and existing business relationships to ensure proper accounting treatment and disclosure.
 
    Implement procedures to enhance month-end closing procedures to ensure that timely, effective and consistent reconciliations are performed and reviewed by qualified personnel within the finance organization, with particular emphasis on revenue recorded for services yet to be billed.
 
    Continue to add and retain technical accounting personnel and enhance supervision with regard to, among other things, timely account analysis and review and approval of significant revenue transactions.
 
    Continue to develop processing systems to provide more automation, accuracy and control in invoicing and recording revenue transactions.
Notwithstanding such effort, the material weakness described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K has not yet been remediated.
  3.   Controls over insurance commissions payable. The following are the actions we are taking, or plan on taking, to improve our controls over insurance commission payables and eliminate the material weakness:
    Continue to develop processing systems to provide more automation, accuracy and control in recording insurance commissions payable transactions.
 
    Continue to improve procedures for verifying and documenting insurance commissions payable, including the review of account reconciliations, account analyses and supporting documentation.
 
    Continue to implement procedures ensuring qualified, senior level personnel within the finance organization review the impact of insurance commissions receivable and commissions payable

      transactions, including supporting documentation, and are responsible for the review and approval of all related accounting considerations and schedules.
Notwithstanding such effort, the material weakness described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K has not yet been remediated.
  4.   Controls over segregation of duties at certain international locations. The following are the actions we are taking, or plan on taking, to improve our controls over certain international locations in our Hedge Fund Services business and eliminate the material weakness:
    Continue to add technical accounting personnel and enhance supervision with regard to, among other things, timely review and approval of all related accounting considerations and schedules.
 
    Perform a comprehensive review of financial accounting processes and internal controls to facilitate the development of more effective internal controls over financial reporting, with particular emphasis on segregation of duties.
 
    Enhance our analytical and review procedures with respect to our international locations, including but not limited to the utilization of outside professionals to supplement our staff.
Notwithstanding such effort, the material weakness described in Item 9A of the 2006 Form 10-K has not yet been remediated.
We are committed to completing the actions described above as soon as possible and believe the implementation of these new controls will improve our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal Proceedings
Following the Company’s May 17, 2004 announcement regarding the restatement of its financial results, seven putative class action and two derivative lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. By order of the Court, all but one of the putative class actions were consolidated into a single action, and on October 25, 2004, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint generally alleging that during the class period the Company, certain of its officers, and its independent registered public accounting firm allegedly violated the federal securities laws in connection with the purported issuance of false and misleading information concerning the Company’s financial condition. On October 28, 2005, the Court dismissed certain claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as to six of the individual defendants, narrowed certain additional claims against the Company and the individual defendants and dismissed all claims as to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The remaining putative class action purported to be brought on behalf of all persons who acquired BISYS securities from the Company as part of private equity transactions during the class period. The complaint generally asserted that the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated the federal securities laws in connection with the purported issuance of false and misleading information concerning the Company’s financial condition, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount. The Court subsequently consolidated plaintiff’s complaint into the above complaint, but in August 2006, a magistrate judge issued a recommendation to the Court that it not certify the proposed class of non-publicly traded Company security holders. Plaintiff subsequently filed objections to the magistrate judge’s recommendation.
On October 16, 2006, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle to settle the consolidated class action lawsuit (including claims relating to the second restatement filed on April 26, 2006), as well as the remaining putative class lawsuit on an individual basis. The parties signed two definitive stipulations of settlement dated as of October 30, 2006. Under the proposed settlements, the Company paid an aggregate of $66.5 million in cash into escrow accounts on November 15 and 16, 2006. The consolidated class action settlement received preliminary Court approval on November 6, 2006 but remains subject to, among other things, final Court approval. Following such approval, the funds will be disbursed to certain purchasers of BISYS securities according to a Court-approved distribution plan. A fairness hearing for the consolidated class action settlement was held on January 18, 2007, at which time the Court took the matter under advisement. If the Court determines that the settlement is fair to the class members, the settlement will be approved. The settlements include no admission of wrongdoing by the Company or any of the individual defendants and were funded through a combination of cash on hand and the Company’s existing credit facility. The Company has reached an agreement with three of its insurers to recover a total of $16 million under its $25 million directors and officers liability policy. The Company has asserted a claim under its insurance policy against an additional insurance carrier for recovery of monetary losses of $5 million paid by the Company in excess of policy limits to settle the securities class action lawsuit. The parties participated in an unsuccessful mediation on April 17, 2007, and the Company is evaluating its options under the policy. There can be no assurance that the claim will be successful. The Company will not record a recovery related to this claim prior to final judgment or settlement.
The derivative complaints filed in 2004 purported to be brought on behalf of the Company and generally asserted that certain officers and directors were liable for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste, and unjust enrichment that purportedly occurred between October 23, 2000 and the time of the filing. The derivative complaints sought disgorgement, a constructive trust and damages in an unspecified amount. The Court ordered that the derivative actions be consolidated into a single action and on November 24, 2004, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. On January 24, 2005, the Company and the individual defendants filed separate motions to dismiss the complaint. On October 31, 2005, the Court granted defendants’ motions, dismissing on the merits plaintiffs’ claim under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the ground that the Act does not create a private right of action upon which plaintiffs may sue. Having so ruled, the Court also dismissed plaintiffs’ state law claims on the ground that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over them. Plaintiffs appealed the rulings, but subsequently determined to dismiss

37


Table of Contents

with prejudice their appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the Company agreed to such dismissal. Plaintiffs then filed two derivative complaints in New Jersey state court raising similar claims. One of these actions was subsequently dismissed. On February 27, 2007, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the remaining plaintiff to settle the claims brought in the plaintiff’s complaint. While the settlement remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation by the parties, approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and approval by the Court, it does not contemplate the payment of any amounts by the Company or the individual defendants, other than plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and other expenses which the Company believes will approximate $0.8 million (which will be funded from the proceeds previously received under the Company’s directors and officers liability policy described above).
The Company’s Life Insurance Services division was involved in litigation with a West Coast-based distributor of life insurance products, with which it had a former business relationship. The lawsuit, which was captioned Potomac Group West, Inc., et al, v. The BISYS Group, Inc., et al, was filed in September 2002 in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. The original complaint asserted breach of contract and a number of tort claims against BISYS, several subsidiaries, and several employees. The Court subsequently dismissed all claims against BISYS, its subsidiaries, and its employees, leaving only a breach of contract claim against one BISYS subsidiary. Plaintiffs continued to assert that they had not been paid all monies due for covered insurance policies. A jury trial commenced on January 22, 2007, and on March 26, 2007, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company’s Potomac Insurance Marketing Group subsidiary on all counts and awarded the Company’s subsidiary $22 thousand on its counterclaim against the plaintiff for overpayment of commissions. The Company’s subsidiary has also filed a motion with the court seeking the payment of attorneys’ fees by the plaintiff. The court entered a final judgment in our favor on April 25, 2007. While the plaintiff has the right to appeal this judgment, the Company expects the verdict and judgment to prevail.
The Company is also involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has adequate defenses and/or insurance coverage against claims arising in such litigation and that the outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Regulatory Investigations
The Company notified the SEC in May 2004 that it would restate certain prior period financial statements, and subsequently the SEC Staff advised the Company that the SEC was conducting an investigation into the facts and circumstances related to this restatement. On May 17, 2004, the Company announced that it would restate its financial results for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2002, and 2001 and for the quarters ended December 31 and September 30, 2003 (the “2004 restatement”) in order to record adjustments for correction of errors resulting from various accounting matters in the Life Insurance Services division. An amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 was filed with the SEC on August 10, 2004 along with amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31 and September 30, 2003 to reflect the restated financial results. In July 2005, the Company determined that an additional restatement of previously issued financial statements was necessary and the SEC’s investigation was expanded to include the 2005 restatement. On May 8, 2007, the SEC Staff informed the Company that the SEC approved the settlement offer of the Company with the respect to the SEC’s investigation into the 2004 and 2005 restatements. Under the settlement, which is subject to approval by the court in which the SEC’s complaint will be filed, the Company will consent to refrain from future violations of the reporting, books and records and internal control provisions of the federal securities laws and related SEC rules. The Company has agreed to pay $25.1 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest, which amount was placed in escrow in January 2007 in the settlement.
On September 26, 2006, the SEC approved the settlement offer of the Company with respect to the SEC’s investigation of certain of the Company’s past marketing and distribution arrangements in its mutual funds services business. The practices at issue related to the structure and accounting for arrangements pursuant to which BISYS Fund Services (BFS), a subsidiary of the Company, agreed with the advisers of certain U.S. mutual funds to use a portion of the administration fees paid to BFS by the mutual funds to pay for, among other things, expenses relating to the marketing and distribution of the fund shares, to make payments to

38


Table of Contents

certain advisers and to pay for certain other expenses. The Company identified 27 fund support arrangements to the SEC, all of which were entered into prior to December 2003 and have been terminated.
The settlement resolved the issues with respect to all fund support arrangements disclosed by the Company to the Staff and provided for the simultaneous initiation and settlement of an administrative proceeding through the entry of an administrative order. The order set forth the SEC’s findings that BFS aided and abetted violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act, Sections 12(b) and 34(b) of the Investment Company Act and SEC Rule 12(b)-1(d). These rules and regulations prohibit investment advisers from employing any device, scheme or artifice to defraud and from engaging in any course of business that would operate as a fraud, prohibit untrue statements or omissions of material facts in certain documents filed with the SEC, and regulate the circumstances under which open-end mutual funds may participate in the distribution of the securities that they issue. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings, BFS consented to cease and desist from aiding and abetting or causing any violations of the referenced provisions of the federal securities laws and related SEC rules. The order also required BFS to disgorge $9.7 million and pay prejudgment interest of $1.7 million and a penalty of $10 million, as well as BFS to agree to certain undertakings. As part of the settlement, for a period of up to 18 months following the order of settlement, BFS has retained an Independent Consultant to review BFS’ policies and procedures governing (i) the receipt of revenues and payment of expenses associated with its administrative, fund accounting and distribution services, and (ii) the accuracy of disclosures to fund boards of directors concerning agreements between BFS, the funds, advisors, banks and related entities with respect to those services. BFS has also retained an Independent Distribution Consultant to review and administer the plan of distribution of the funds paid by BFS as part of the settlement.
The Company established an initial estimated liability of $20.9 million at June 30, 2005, representing expected amounts to be paid as part of this settlement, which was comprised of an estimated $9.7 million disgorgement recognized as a reduction to 2005 revenues, and an estimated fine of $10 million and prejudgment interest of $1.2 million recognized as an operating expense in 2005. During 2006, the liability was increased to $21.4 million to properly reflect interest associated with the settlement. The Company paid the entire settlement amount in October 2006.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This Item 1A should be read in conjunction with “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Fiscal 2006 Form 10-K. Other than with respect to the risk factors below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Fiscal 2006 Form 10-K.
     Failure to complete the proposed merger could negatively affect us.
On May 1, 2007, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Citibank N.A. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Buckeye Acquisition Sub, Inc. The completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, no material adverse effect on the Company having occurred, and other customary conditions. The completion of the merger is also subject to no more than 35% of the outstanding common stock exercising dissenters rights, and no law or government order prohibiting, and certain regulatory approvals having been obtained with respect to, the merger or Citi’s subsequent sale of certain assets of the Company to a third party. There is no assurance when or if the merger agreement and the merger will be approved by our stockholders, and there is no assurance that the other conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied.

Effective November 12, 2003, the Board of Directors authorized a stock buy-back program of up to $100 million. Purchases have occurred and will continue to occur from time to time in the open market to offset the possible dilutive effects of shares issued under employee benefit plans, for possible use in future acquisitions, and for general and other corporate purposes. In March 2005, the Company suspended the November 2003 stock repurchase program, and it does not currently expect to engage in further stock repurchase activity under the November 2003 program during the pendency of its proposed merger with Citibank N.A.
