NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advent Software, Inc. (“Advent” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Advent has prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in these interim statements pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in Advent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, and no representation is made thereto.

On December 13, 2010, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of our common stock, payable in the form of a 100% stock dividend. On January 18, 2011, one additional share of common stock was distributed for each share held of record as of the close of business on January 3, 2011. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to number of shares and to per share information (except shares authorized) have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

Effective with the first quarter of 2011, the Company changed its presentation of the components of net revenues to recurring and non-recurring to reflect the recurring nature of the Company’s business model. Recurring revenues are comprised of term license, maintenance from perpetual arrangements and other recurring revenues. Non-recurring revenues are comprised of perpetual license fees, professional services and other revenues. Prior periods have been reclassified to reflect this change.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of continuing operations for each interim period shown. All such adjustments occur in the ordinary course of business and are of a normal, recurring nature.

With the exception of the below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in Advent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance that allows companies the option of how to present the components of, and a total, for net income, the components of, and a total, for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income as either one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. There will no longer be the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The updated accounting guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 on a retrospective basis. Early application is permitted. Since the updated guidance only requires a change in the placement of information already disclosed in consolidated financial statements, the Company does not expect the adoption to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2011, cash equivalents and marketable securities primarily consisted of money market mutual funds, US government and US Government Sponsored Entities (GSE’s) and high credit quality corporate debt securities that are guaranteed by the US government. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, with long-term investments, if applicable, having a maturity date greater than one year from the date of the balance sheet.

Table of Contents

Marketable securities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Advent regularly reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition, credit quality and near-term prospects of the investee, and Advent’s ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The gross unrealized losses related to investments are primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of debt securities as a result of an increase in interest rates since the acquisition of the securities. For fixed income securities that have unrealized losses as of June 30, 2011, the Company has determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and (ii) it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. In addition, the Company has evaluated these fixed income securities and has determined that no credit losses exist.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, $60.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of marketable securities matured, which did not have any associated gross realized gains or losses.

Note 4—Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that the Company’s cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These forward contracts are not designated for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the balances denominated in Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pounds, South African Rand and Norwegian Kroner. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. The Company recognizes gains and losses on these contracts, as well as related costs, in “Interest and other income (expense), net” along with the gains and losses of the related hedged items. The Company records the fair value of derivative instruments as either “Prepaid expenses and other” or “Accrued liabilities” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on current market rates.

At June 30, 2011, net derivative assets associated with the forward contracts of approximately $8,000 were included in “Prepaid expenses and other.” The effect of the derivative financial instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was to reduce foreign exchange gains by approximately $64,000.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had the following forward contracts outstanding to sell the following notional amounts (in thousands):

While Advent uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the business combination date, these estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement. The Company records adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in the operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined.

Black Diamond Performance Reporting LLC (“Black Diamond”)

On June 1, 2011, Advent acquired all the outstanding ownership units of Black Diamond, a privately held, Florida-based company which now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Black Diamond provides web-based, outsourced portfolio management and reporting platforms for investment advisors. The total purchase price of $72.4 million, net of cash acquired of $0.2 million, was paid in cash. Of the total purchase price, $7 million was placed into escrow until December 2012 to be held as partial security for any losses incurred by the Company in the event of certain breaches of the representation and warranties contained in the acquisition agreement or certain other events.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of June 1, 2011. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary because the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets are not yet complete.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price and the estimated useful lives associated with certain assets was as follows:

Black Diamond’s tangible assets and liabilities as of June 1, 2011 were reviewed and adjusted to their fair value as necessary. Current assets are primarily comprised of accounts receivable and prepaids. Non-current assets were primarily comprised of facility deposits and fixed assets. Current liabilities were fair valued and include accrued liabilities, accrued compensation and benefits, sales commissions payable, sales tax payable and deferred revenues. In connection with the acquisition of Black Diamond, Advent assumed Black Diamond’s contractual obligations related to its deferred revenues. Black Diamond’s deferred revenues were derived primarily from set up fees related to the implementation of its web-based services and from contracts where revenue is recognized upon completion of the project. Advent recorded an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of deferred revenues to represent the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed.

Syncova Solutions Ltd. (“Syncova”)

On February 28, 2011, Advent acquired all the outstanding shares of Syncova, a privately held, United Kingdom-based company, which now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Syncova provides margin management and financing software to hedge funds and prime brokers.  Syncova’s solutions enable hedge funds and prime brokers to calculate expected margin, reconcile and control differences. Syncova’s product offerings will be a part of Advent’s solution for the alternative and high end asset management markets. The total purchase price of $24.6 million, net of cash acquired of $0.8 million, was paid in cash.  Of the total proceeds, the equivalent of $4.8 million will be held in escrow subject to claims through February 2013.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the purchase method of accounting. The total purchase price was allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of February 28, 2011. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary because Syncova’s final tax filings are not yet complete. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price and the estimated useful lives associated with certain assets was as follows:

*                 In-process research and development relates to costs attributed to a pending product version release expected in the fourth quarter of 2011.  Once released, the Company will evaluate the useful life of the technology and amortize such costs accordingly on a straight-line basis.

Syncova’s tangible assets and liabilities as of February 28, 2011 were reviewed and adjusted to their fair value as necessary. Current assets are primarily comprised of accounts receivable and deferred tax assets. Non-current assets were primarily comprised of facility deposits and fixed assets. Current liabilities were fair valued and include accrued liabilities, deferred tax assets and deferred revenues. In connection with the acquisition of Syncova, Advent assumed Syncova’s contractual obligations related to its deferred revenues. Syncova’s deferred revenues were derived primarily from term license arrangements, and service and maintenance related to perpetual licenses. As a result, Advent recorded an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of deferred revenues to represent the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contractual obligations assumed.

Note 6—Discontinued Operation

During 2009, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of its MicroEdge subsidiary, which provided products and services to the not-for-profit business community, to concentrate on its core investment management business. In connection with this decision, the Company completed the sale of MicroEdge on October 1, 2009 to an affiliate of Vista Equity Partners III, LLC (“Purchaser”). The Company sold net assets in MicroEdge totaling $3.0 million.  The total consideration received by the Company in connection with the divestiture was approximately $30.0 million in cash, of which $27.0 million in cash was paid on the closing date. The remaining $3.0 million of the Purchase Price was held in escrow and was released to the Company in March 2011, resulting in the Company recording a gain of $1.7 million in “net income from discontinued operation, net of applicable taxes” in the first quarter of 2011.

As part of the disposition, certain assets and obligations of the Company’s discontinued operation were excluded from the sale and are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Assets excluded from the sale include cash and deferred tax assets.  Liabilities excluded from the sale include sales tax and other tax-related obligations, future payments related to a two year service and maintenance agreement, and continuing lease obligations included as part of the restructuring noted below.

Table of Contents

In connection with the sale of MicroEdge, the Company vacated its MicroEdge facilities in New York and entered into a sub-lease agreement with the Purchaser, whereby the Purchaser contracted to sub-lease the premises for two years with the option to extend the sub-lease term through the end of the lease term in 2018. The sub-lease agreement was amended during the first quarter of 2011. Under the amended sub-lease agreement, the Purchaser will sub-lease the premises through the end of the lease term, with an option to terminate in September 2013, subject to penalties. As a result of the amendment to the sub-lease agreement, the Company revised its facility exit assumptions and recorded a restructuring accrual adjustment benefit of approximately $226,000 in its discontinued operations results during the first quarter of 2011.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the components of the restructuring charges related to the Company’s discontinued operation and the payments and non-cash charges made against the accrual during the six months ended June 30, 2011 (in thousands):
