Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(all figures are in thousands except per share data)
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations
SEI Investments Company (the Company), a Pennsylvania corporation, provides investment processing, fund processing, and investment management business outsourcing solutions to corporations, financial institutions, financial advisors, and affluent families in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and other various locations throughout the world. Investment processing solutions utilize the Companys proprietary software system to track investment activities in multiple types of investment accounts, including personal trust, corporate trust, institutional trust, and non-trust investment accounts, thereby allowing banks and trust companies to outsource trust and investment related activities.
The fund processing solution offers a full range of administration and distribution support services to mutual funds, collective trust funds, hedge funds, fund of funds, private equity funds and other types of investment funds. Administrative services include fund accounting, trustee and custodial support, legal support, transfer agency and shareholder servicing. Distribution support services range from market and industry insight and analysis to identifying distribution opportunities.
Investment management programs consist of Company-sponsored mutual funds, alternative investments and separate accounts. These include a series of money market, equity, fixed-income and alternative investment portfolios, primarily in the form of registered investment companies. The Company serves as the administrator and investment advisor for many of these products.
The Company is organized around its primary target markets. The Companys business segments are: Private Banking and Trust, Investment Advisors, Enterprises, Money Managers, and Investments in New Businesses. Financial information pertaining to the Companys business segments is included in Note 9.
Summary Financial Information and Results of Operations
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2005, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Interim Financial Information
While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Companys principal subsidiaries are SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO), SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), and SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investment in unconsolidated affiliate is accounted for using the equity method due to the Companys less than 50 percent ownership. The Companys portion of the affiliates operating results is reflected in Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations (See Note 4).
In 2004, the Company adopted the revised interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No.46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46-R). FIN 46-R requires that certain variable interest entities be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial
Page 6 of 39
interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support from other parties. The Company does not have any investments in entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Page 7 of 39
Managements Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys principal sources of revenue consist of information processing and software services; management, administration, advisory, and distribution of mutual funds; brokerage and consulting services; and other asset management products and services. Revenues from these services are recognized in the periods in which they are performed provided that pervasive evidence of an agreement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Cash received by the Company in advance of the performance of services is deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred are recorded as revenue.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes $59,819 and $148,974 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, primarily invested in Company-sponsored open-ended money market mutual funds.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash of $47 and $654 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, reserved for the payment of expenses of regulated investment companies (RICs) for which SIMC serves as the administrator. Restricted cash at December 31, 2004 also includes cash of $3,648 received for the benefit of customers of SIDCO in order to settle investment transactions for RICs. SIMC, in its capacity as the administrator and transfer agent, facilitates the payment of fund expenses and investment transactions for SIDCO customers, respectively. Corresponding liabilities are established for payment to the RICs, which is reflected in Payable to regulated investment companies on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total balance of cash received from such parties is typically paid the following business day.
Additionally, Restricted cash at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 includes $10,000 and $10,084, respectively, segregated in special reserve accounts for the benefit of SIDCO customers in accordance with certain rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for broker-dealers.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Companys estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and trade receivables. Cash equivalents are principally invested in short-term money market funds or placed with major banks and high-credit qualified financial institutions. Cash deposits maintained with institutions are in excess of federally insured limits. Marketable securities primarily consist of those of a regulated investment company with underlying investments in federal agency mortgage-backed securities and a diversified equity investment vehicle. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to our receivables are limited due to the large number of clients and their dispersion across geographic areas. No single group or customer represents greater than ten percent of total accounts receivable.
Page 8 of 39
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives using the straight line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods, generally accelerated, for tax purposes where appropriate. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated over 25 to 39 years. Equipment, purchased software and furniture and fixtures have useful lives ranging from three to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Marketable Securities
The Company accounts for investments in marketable securities pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Currently, the Company only has marketable securities classified as available for sale. SFAS 115 requires that debt and equity securities classified as available for sale be reported at fair value as determined by the most recently traded price for each security at the balance sheet date. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. The specific identification method is used to compute the realized gains and losses on marketable securities (See Note 3).
The Company evaluates the realizable value of its marketable securities on a quarterly basis. Factors considered in determining other-than-temporary declines in value include how significant the decline in value is as a percentage of the original cost, how long the market value of the investment has been less than its original cost, and the likelihood of the investment to recover its original cost. If it is determined that an other-than-temporary decline exists in a marketable security, the investment is written down to its market value and an investment loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company holds derivative financial instruments (derivatives) in the form of equity contracts for the purpose of hedging the market risk of certain available-for-sale securities. The Company holds such derivatives only for the purpose of hedging such risk and not for speculation. The Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking such hedge transactions. This process includes relating all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets on the balance sheet.
The Company accounts for its derivatives in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company records all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company determines if the instrument qualifies as an effective fair value hedge on the date the derivative is entered into and monitors this determination on an ongoing basis. If the derivative instrument qualifies as an effective fair value hedge according to established accounting guidance, the Company will apply hedge accounting. As of June 30, 2005, hedge accounting does not apply to any of the Companys derivatives.
The Company enters into hedging relationships such that the change in the fair value of the asset being hedged is expected to be offset by a counteracting change in the fair value of the derivative instrument. The change in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in current period earnings, while the change in the fair value of the hedged asset is recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company may continue to enter into economic hedges to support certain business strategies. These economic hedges may not qualify as accounting hedges and, therefore, may cause some volatility in earnings.
Page 9 of 39
The Company holds equity derivatives with a notional amount of $11,161 and an expected maturity date in 2006. The Company recognized a net loss of $142 and a net gain of $296 in the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. In the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized a net gain of $86 and a net loss of $24, respectively, from derivative instruments. These gains and losses are reflected in Net gain from investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Page 10 of 39
Capitalized Software
The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with the guidance established in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-03 Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entitys Hardware, and applies Statement of Position 98-1 (SOP 98-1) Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, for development costs associated with software products to be provided in a hosting environment. As required by SOP 98-1, the Company capitalizes the costs incurred during the application development stage, which includes direct external and internal costs for designing, coding, installing, and testing the software configuration and interfaces. Costs incurred during the preliminary project along with post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred to maintain existing product offerings are expensed as incurred. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life. The Company capitalized $32,719 and $14,573 of software development costs in accordance with SOP 98-1 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Amortization of capitalized software development costs begins when the product is placed into service. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product or enhancement, which is primarily three to ten years, with a weighted average remaining life of approximately 4.5 years. Amortization expense was $1,171 and $1,076 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and is included in Operating and development expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company determined in the first quarter of 2005 that software purchased from a third party vendor that was capitalized as part of the development of a new platform did not satisfy all of the expected functionality requirements. The Company has discontinued its relationship with this vendor. As a result, $3,429 of previously capitalized software development costs were written-off. Additionally, the Company removed $1,922 of unpaid liabilities to this vendor directly associated with the amount that was capitalized. As a result, the Company recorded a net charge of $1,507 to Operating and development expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Income Taxes
The Company applies the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.
Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities and results of operations of the Companys foreign subsidiaries are measured using the foreign subsidiarys local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities have been translated into U.S. dollars using the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The results of operations have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded as a separate component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations are included in the results of operations in the periods in which they occur.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book value of current assets and current liabilities is considered to be representative of their fair value because of their short maturities. The recorded value of these items approximates their fair value.
Page 11 of 39
Earnings per Share
The Company calculates earnings per common share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the combination of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options, outstanding during the period. The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are:

Employee stock options to purchase 4,624,000 and 2,583,000 shares of common stock, with an average exercise price of $44.54 and $45.47, were outstanding during the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the Companys common stock, and the effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its employee stock options based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company grants stock options to its employees based on the fair market value of the Companys stock at the date of grant. Since the stock options have no intrinsic value upon grant, the Company does not record any compensation cost.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, requires the presentation of the pro-forma effects of stock-based compensation on net income and earnings per common share. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its employee stock options.
For the following pro-forma disclosures as required by SFAS 123, the estimated fair value of stock options is assumed to be amortized to expense over the stock options vesting period. The following table presents the pro-forma effects on net income and earnings per common share if the Company had recognized compensation expense relating to its employee stock options.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) revises SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services, incurs liabilities in exchange for goods and services that are based on the fair value of the entitys equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions, but does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees. The accounting provisions of SFAS 123(R) are effective for the annual period beginning January 1, 2006. The primary impact that SFAS 123(R) will have on the Companys financial statements is the requirement to expense the fair value of its employee stock options rather than disclosing that information in a set of pro-forma financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the full impact that the adoption of SFAS 123(R) will have on its financial statements. Currently, the Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its equity compensation plans.

The net unrealized holding gains at June 30, 2005 were $563 (net of income tax expense of $323) and at December 31, 2004 were $792 (net of income tax expense of $447) and are reported as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive gains on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized gross realized gains from available-for-sale securities of $64 and $1,086, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized gross realized gains of $263 and $4,163, respectively. There were no realized losses recognized during 2005.

At June 30, 2005, the Company had a single investment in a Company-sponsored mutual fund that has been in an unrealized loss position longer than one year. This mutual fund primarily invests in federal agency mortgage-backed securities. The cost basis of this investment was $41,841 with a fair value of $41,209 and a gross unrealized loss of $632. The Company does not consider this unrealized loss as an other-than-temporary impairment because it is not a precipitous decline in market value.

Note 4. | Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate |
The Company has an investment in the general partnership LSV Asset Management (LSV). LSV is a registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently an investment sub-adviser for a number of Company-sponsored mutual funds. The Company accounts for its interest in LSV using the equity method of accounting due to its less than 50 percent ownership. The Companys total partnership interest in LSV was approximately 43 percent and 46 percent for the first six months 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On July 1, 2004, the Company sold a small percentage of its interest in LSV to certain other partners of LSV. Total proceeds received from the sale were $6,183 and the basis of the Companys investment relating to the sold interest was $1,614, resulting in a total gain of $4,569. Certain partners paid the Company directly whereas certain other partners elected to finance their purchase through LSV. The Company realized $3,097 of the gain in 2004 and deferred the remaining portion of the gain of $1,472, which is reflected as Deferred gain on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred portion of the gain will be recognized when the amount owed to LSV from the partners that financed their purchase is repaid in full. The final payments are due on January 1, 2006.
At June 30, 2005, the Companys investment in LSV exceeded its underlying equity in the net assets of LSV by $6,556, of which $3,494 is considered finite-lived intangible assets and the remaining $3,062 is considered goodwill embedded in the investment. The finite-lived intangible assets primarily relate to customer contracts that meet the contractual-legal criterion for recognition apart from goodwill. The Company amortizes the finite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over eight and a half years. The Company recorded $218 in amortization expense during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Total accumulated amortization at June 30, 2005 was $327. No amortization expense was recorded in the first six months of 2004. The Company does not record amortization expense associated with the embedded goodwill. The Company determines on an annual basis if its investment in LSV is impaired which includes the embedded goodwill. The Companys investment in LSV is considered General and Administrative and is not included in a business segment.
The following table contains the condensed statements of operations of LSV for the three and six months ended June 30:

Note 5. | Line of Credit |
On September 14, 2004, the Company entered into a three-year $200,000 Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) replacing the Companys $200,000 364Day Credit Agreement which expired on September 13, 2004. The Credit Facility became available immediately and expires on September 14, 2007 at which time any aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding becomes payable in full. The Credit Facility, when utilized, will accrue interest at 0.75 percent above the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.15 percent per annum on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations of indebtedness, maintenance of fixed charge and leverage ratios, and restrictions on certain investments. Both the interest rate and commitment fee prices may increase if the Companys leverage ratio reaches certain levels. None of these covenants negatively affect the Companys liquidity or capital resources. The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the Credit Facility during the six month period ended June 30, 2005. During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Note 6. | Long-term Debt |
On February 24, 1997, the Company signed a Note Purchase Agreement authorizing the issuance and sale of $20,000 of 7.20 percent Senior Notes, Series A, and $15,000 of 7.27 percent Senior Notes, Series B (collectively, the Notes), in a private offering with certain financial institutions. The Notes are unsecured with final maturities ranging from 10 to 15 years. The proceeds from the Notes were used to repay the outstanding balance on the Companys line of credit at that date. The Note Purchase Agreement, which was subsequently amended, contains various covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, maintenance of minimum net worth levels, and restrictions on certain investments. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement limits the Companys ability to merge or consolidate, and to sell certain assets. Principal payments on the Notes are made annually from the date of issuance while interest payments are made semi-annually. The Company made its scheduled payment of $4,000 in February 2005. The remaining unpaid principal balance of the Notes at June 30, 2005 was $13,000, of which $4,000 is classified as current.
On June 26, 2001, the Company entered into a $25,000 Term Loan Agreement (the Agreement) with a separate lending institution which expires on March 31, 2006 and is payable in 17 equal quarterly installments. On August 2, 2001, the Company borrowed the full $25,000. The Agreement provides the Company the option to have interest accrued at either the lower of the Prime rate or one and thirty-five hundredths of one percent above LIBOR. The Agreement contains various covenants, including limitations on indebtedness and restrictions on certain investments. None of these covenants negatively affect the Companys liquidity or capital resources. The Company made its scheduled payments of $1,389 in March and June of 2005, respectively. The remaining unpaid principal balance of the Agreement at June 30, 2005 was $4,167, which is classified as current. The interest rate being applied at June 30, 2005 was 4.47%.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with its long-term debt during the six month period ended June 30, 2005.
Note 7. | Common Stock Buyback |
The Companys Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of the Companys common stock on the open market or through private transactions of up to an aggregate of $953,365, which includes an additional authorization of $50,000 on May 25, 2005. Through June 30, 2005, a total of 116,553,000 shares at an aggregate cost of $924,420 have been purchased and retired. The Company purchased 2,409,000 shares at a total cost of $87,162 during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The Company immediately retires its common stock when purchased. Upon retirement, the Company reduces Capital in excess of par value for the average capital per share outstanding and
Page 19 of 39
the remainder is charged against Retained earnings. If the Company reduces its Retained earnings to zero, any subsequent purchases of common stock will be charged entirely to Capital in excess of par value.
Note 8. | Contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings. On September 30, 2004, SIDCO was named as a defendant in a putative consolidated amended class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland titled Stephen Carey v. Pilgrim Baxter & Associates, LTD, et. al. This complaint is purportedly made on behalf of all persons that purchased or held PBHG mutual funds during the period from November 1, 1998 to November 13, 2003 and relates generally to various market timing practices allegedly permitted by the PBHG Funds. The complaint alleges that SIDCO was the named distributor/underwriter from November 1998 until July 2001 for various PBHG funds in which market timing allegedly occurred during that period. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, SIDCO believes that it has valid defenses to plaintiffs claims and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously. The Company has not made any provision relating to this legal proceeding.
In April, 2005, the Company and a subsidiary were named as defendants in a complaint (the Vermeg Complaint) filed by Vermeg Services S.A.R.L., a Tunisian company, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The subsidiary of the Company terminated a software license and services contract with Vermeg in March, 2005 citing failure of the Vermeg software to meet acceptance and performance criteria under the contract. The Vermeg Complaint seeks monetary damages which it alleges arose out of the purported breach of such contract by the Company and its subsidiary as well as various other relief arising from the alleged misappropriation of Vermeg software and related information that Vermeg alleges is proprietary to Vermeg. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, the Company and its subsidiary believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. The Company has not made any provision relating to this legal proceeding.

Note 10. | Income Taxes |
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, uncertainty remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions of the Act. As such, the Company is not yet in a position to decide on whether, and to what extent, foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S may be repatriated. The Company expects to be in a position to finalize its assessment by the third quarter of 2005.

Consolidated Summary
Consolidated revenues increased $20.9 million, or 12 percent, to $190.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. For the six month period ended, revenues increased $39.4 million, or 12 percent, to $375.8 million compared to the prior year period. Income from operations decreased $1.8 million, or three percent, to $50.4 million and operating margin decreased to 27 percent from 31 percent for the three month period. For the six month period, income from operations improved slightly to $102.0 million; however, operating margin decreased to 27 percent from 30 percent. In the three month period, net income increased $3.0 million, or seven percent, to $44.2 million and diluted earnings per share increased to $.43 per share as compared to $.39 per share a year ago, an increase of ten percent. In the six month period, net income increased $7.3 million, or nine percent, to $87.9 million and diluted earnings per share increased to $.84 per share as compared to $.76 per share a year ago, an increase of 11 percent. In our opinion, the following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three and six month periods:
| The increase in revenues in both comparable periods was primarily driven by increased asset-based fees resulting from higher levels of assets under management and administration due to sales of new business and capital market appreciation in 2004 and 2005. New asset sales were primarily from our Enterprises, Money Mangers and Investments in New Businesses segments. We believe these new sales were due to a growing acceptance of our new and existing strategies and solutions in our target markets. Rising capital markets also increased the value of assets we manage and administer for our existing clients, causing our base revenues to increase. |
| Non-recurring investment processing project fees in our Private Banking and Trust segment increased $5.6 million during the first six months of 2005 compared to the prior year due to conversions of new bank clients, mergers and buyouts of existing clients. Once the conversions of the new bank clients are completed, our recurring investment processing fees are expected to increase. Additionally, non-recurring investment processing project fees in 2005 included $2.0 million recognized in the second quarter for the deconversion of an existing client. |
| Fund processing fees in the Private Banking and Trust segment decreased $9.9 million primarily from the loss of fund processing bank clients. Certain of these client losses, however, caused a corresponding reduction in direct fund processing expenses, minimizing the effect on our margins. |
Page 25 of 39
| In the Investment Advisors and Enterprises segment, revenues in 2005 were affected by the recognition on a gross basis of $3.9 million in the second quarter and $7.1 million in the six month period of third party advisory fees related to our separate account program and pass-through fees associated with our 401(k) recordkeeping offering beginning in mid-2004. In the prior year comparable period, these revenues were reported net of the costs. This had the effect of increasing revenues and expenses by the same amount. |
| We continued to make significant expenditures for the development of our Global Wealth Platform as we progress through the development phase of this platform. The majority of these costs are eligible for capitalization; however, a portion is not eligible and is expensed as incurred. We capitalized $32.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $14.6 million in the comparable period of 2004 in software development costs for this platform. We expect to incur significant development costs throughout 2005. |
| In the first quarter, it was determined that software purchased from a third party vendor intended for use in our Global Wealth Platform did not satisfy all of the expected functionality requirements. Prior capitalized development costs and associated unpaid liabilities were written-off, resulting in a net charge against earnings of $1.5 million. This charge impacted all of our business segments in the six month period. |
| We expect the loss of a client in the Investments in New Businesses segment to negatively impact that segments revenues in the third quarter; however, due to the nature of the relationship, the impact to operating margin should be minimal. |
| Consolidated operating margins declined in both periods due to increased personnel and other operational costs to deliver our new strategies and solutions to our target markets. These costs primarily impacted the Private Banking and Trust, Investment Advisors and Investments in New Businesses segments. |
| Net income during both periods was primarily boosted by our investment in LSV. LSV recorded significant growth in revenues and earnings, mainly due to new sales and performance fees. We currently have a 43 percent interest in LSV. Our earnings from LSV grew $6.9 million, or 65 percent, in the three month period and $13.2 million, or 67 percent, in the six month period as compared to the prior year periods. |
| We continued our stock repurchase program during 2005 and purchased approximately 1.1 million shares at an average price of about $36 per share in the second quarter and approximately 2.4 million shares, also at an average price of $36 per share, in the six month period. This caused our diluted earnings per common share to grow at a faster rate than our earnings. |

Operating income decreased by $3.8 million, or 13 percent, in the three month period and $4.5 million, or eight percent, in the six month period and was primarily affected by:
| Increased non-capitalized investment spending and related personnel and other operational costs necessary to deliver new company strategies and solutions; |
| The write-off of previously capitalized development costs for our Global Wealth Platform in the first quarter of 2005; |
| A corresponding decrease in direct expenses in 2004 associated with the loss of fund processing bank clients; partially offset by |

| Non-recurring costs in 2004 associated with the relocation of our data center processing facility. |
Investment Advisors
Revenues increased $6.3 million, or 15 percent, in the three month period and $11.8 million, or 14 percent, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 and were primarily affected by:
| Increased investment management fees from existing clients due to the appreciation of assets under management because of capital market appreciation during 2004 and 2005; and |
| The recognition on a gross basis of $2.8 million in the second quarter and $5.4 million for the six month period of pass-through revenue associated with our 401(k) recordkeeping offering and third party advisory fees related to our separate account program. |
Operating margins decreased to 53 percent, as compared to 55 percent in both the three month and six month periods. Operating income increased by $2.5 million, or ten percent, in the three month period and $4.5 million, or ten percent, in the six month period and was primarily affected by:
| Increased non-capitalized investment spending and related personnel and other operational costs necessary to deliver new company strategies and solutions; |
| The write-off of previously capitalized development costs for our Global Wealth Platform in the first quarter of 2005; |
| The recognition of pass-through revenues and expenses mentioned above, which had the effect of increasing revenues and expenses by the same amount and negatively impacting operating margin; partially offset by |
| Non-recurring, estimated costs in the first quarter of 2004 of $1.2 million in connection with the migration of client data to a new platform for processing third party mutual funds. |
Enterprises
Revenues increased $4.7 million, or 29 percent, in the three month period and $8.7 million, or 27 percent, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 and were primarily affected by:
| Asset funding from new sales of our retirement solutions, mainly to large corporations; |
| Increased assets under management from existing clients because of capital market appreciation during 2004 and 2005; and |
| The recognition on a gross basis of $1.1 million in the second quarter and $1.7 million for the six month period of pass-through revenue associated with our 401(k) recordkeeping offering in mid-2004. |
Operating margins remained flat at 45 percent in the three month period and declined to 46 percent, as compared to 47 percent in the six month period. Operating income increased $2.1 million, or 29 percent, in the three month period and $3.7 million, or 24 percent, in the six month period and was primarily affected by:
| An increase in revenues; less |
| Increased personnel costs and other operating costs associated with new business, and |
| The recognition of pass-through revenues and expenses mentioned above, which had the effect of increasing revenues and expenses by the same amount and negatively impacting operating margin. |

Money Managers
Revenues increased $2.2 million, or 11 percent, in the three month period and $5.4 million, or 15 percent, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 and were primarily affected by:

| Cash flows from existing clients; and |
| Sales of additional products to our existing clients; partially offset by |
| Client losses. |
Operating margins decreased to 16 percent, as compared to 21 percent in the three month period and to 17 percent, as compared to 19 percent in the six month period. Operating income decreased $600 thousand, or 15 percent, in the three month period, decreased slightly in the six month period, and was primarily affected by:

| Increased spending on personnel and other operating costs to support new business. |
Investments | in New Businesses |
Revenues increased $10.4 million, or 62 percent, in the three month period and $18.4 million, or 55 percent, in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 and were primarily affected by:

Other
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of corporate overhead costs and other costs not directly attributable to a reportable business segment. The increase in these expenses was primarily due to resources and costs for our corporate compliance program, some of which were non-recurring and related to new regulations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Equity in the earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations includes our less than 50 percent ownership in the general partnership of LSV (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The increase in LSVs net earnings is due to an increase in assets under management and performance fees.

Derivative financial instruments are used to minimize the price risk associated with changes in the fair value of our seed investments in new investment management programs. These derivative financial investments did not qualify for hedge accounting under current accounting rules. As a result, changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments were recorded in current period earnings whereas the change in the fair value of the hedged asset will be realized upon sale in future period earnings. Managements decision to enter into derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting may cause volatility in quarterly earnings (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Interest income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily. Fluctuations in interest income recognized for one period in relation to another is due to changes in the average cash balance invested for the period and/or changes in interest rates. The increase in interest income in the six month period of 2005 was primarily due to an increase in interest rates and investments of cash into higher-yielding investment vehicles.
Interest expense is directly attributable to our long-term debt and other borrowings. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased over the comparable period mainly due to the lower principal balances of debt outstanding.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates were 36.30 percent and 36.25 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, our effective rates were 36.40 percent and 36.25 percent, respectively. The increase in rates in the six month period was due to the timing and application of certain tax credits, an increase in foreign tax expense, and various other factors.

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. We currently have a Credit Facility that provides for borrowings of up to $200.0 million. The availability of the Credit Facility is subject to the compliance with certain covenants set forth in the agreement. At June 30, 2005, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $116.5 million and the full amount available through the Credit Facility of $200.0 million.
Page 29 of 39
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $11.0 million during the first six months in 2005 as compared to 2004 due to the net change in working capital accounts, mainly receivables and accrued expenses. Net cash from operating activities was also affected by an increase in net income and non-cash items, which includes additional deferred taxes from the higher amount of software development costs eligible for capitalization and currently deductible for tax purposes and the write-off of previously capitalized software development costs.
Net cash used in investing activities primarily includes the capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software, purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities, and capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased $40.2 million during the first six months in 2005 as compared to the prior year period. As was the case in the past several years, we have continued to invest in the development of our new Global Wealth Platform. Many of these expenditures in prior years were related to research and design and, therefore, not eligible for capitalization. As we are currently in the application development stage of the project, a larger portion of our expenditures are for development, rather than research and design, and are eligible for capitalization under accounting rules. Capitalized software development costs were $32.7 million in 2005 as compared to $14.6 million in 2004.
In 2005, we had $14.5 million in net purchases of available-for-sale securities versus $4.7 million in net redemptions of available-for-sale securities in 2004. Purchases of available-for-sale securities in 2005 mainly comprised additional investments made into a company-sponsored mutual fund for regulatory compliance purposes. Capital expenditures in 2005 primarily include computer systems and equipment to support our ongoing operations. We intend to begin construction of an additional building at our corporate headquarters. The total cost of the expansion is estimated to be at least $15.0 million and is expected to be completed by mid-2006.
Net cash used in financing activities primarily includes principal payments of our debt, the repurchase of our common stock, and dividend payments. Principal payments on our long-term debt were $6.8 million in 2005 and $9.2 million in 2004. Our long-term debt is subject to various covenants contained in each lending agreement. Currently, these covenants do not negatively affect our liquidity. In late-2004, our $200.0 million 364-day credit facility expired and was replaced with a new three-year $200.0 million credit facility. The three-year credit facility was generated through a syndicate of lenders and may be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our common stock.
Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock of up to $953.4 million, which includes an additional authorization of $50.0 million on May 25, 2005. Through July 29, 2005, we repurchased approximately 116.6 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $924.4 million and had $28.9 million of authorization remaining for the purchase of our common stock under this program. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program.
Cash dividends paid were $21.3 million or $.21 per share in the first six months of 2005 and $19.7 million or $.19 per share in the first six months of 2004. Our Board of Directors intends to declare future dividends on a semi-annual basis.
We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements or transactions with structured finance and special purpose entities. Our off-balance sheet commitments are generally limited to future payments under non-cancelable operating leases for facilities, data processing equipment, and software and other maintenance agreements.
We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents should provide adequate funds for continuing operations; continued investment in new products and equipment; our common stock repurchase program; expansion of our corporate campus; future dividend payments; and principal and interest payments on our long-term debt.
Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this discussion is or may be considered forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Our actual future revenues and income could differ materially from our expected results. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Page 30 of 39
Among the risks and uncertainties which may affect our future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments are those risks described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks include the following:
| changes in capital markets that may affect our revenues and earnings; |
| changes in currency exchange rates; |
| changes in interest rates; |
| the performance of the funds we manage; |
| consolidation within our target markets, including consolidations between banks and other financial institutions; |
| systems and technology risks; |
| development risks associated with the introduction of new products and services to our clients and target markets; |
| operational risks associated with the processing of investment transactions; |
| third party approval of our investment products with advisors affiliated with independent broker-dealers or other networks; |
| retention of senior management personnel; and |
| the effect of extensive governmental regulation. |
The Company and our clients are subject to extensive governmental regulation. Our various business activities are conducted through entities which may be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment adviser, a broker-dealer, a transfer agent, an investment company or with the United States Office of Thrift Supervision or state banking authorities as a trust company. Our broker-dealer is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers and is subject to its rules and oversight. In addition, various subsidiaries of the Company are registered with, and subject to the oversight of, regulatory authorities primarily in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Many of our clients are subject to substantial regulation by federal and state banking, securities or insurance authorities or the Department of Labor. Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment companies and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We have responded and are currently responding to various regulatory examinations, inquiries and requests. One of these regulatory requests and inquiries relate to the payment by certain of our subsidiaries of expenses related to the marketing and distribution of shares of certain mutual fund clients of our fund administration and distribution business. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, we are generally implementing changes and reviewing our compliance procedures and business operations. These activities resulted in an increased level of general and administrative costs that continued during the six month period ended June 30, 2005.
We offer investment and banking products that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as non-United States regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these products could lead to a reduction in sales of these products. Directed brokerage payment arrangements offered by us are also subject to the SEC and other federal regulatory authorities. Changes in the regulation of directed brokerage or soft dollar payment arrangements or strategic decisions of our clients regarding these arrangements could affect sales of some services, primarily our brokerage services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk - Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio and long-term debt obligations. Our excess cash is principally invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, mainly money market funds, with a substantial portion of such investments having initial maturities of three months or less. Our investment portfolio also includes some long-term fixed-income mutual funds, principally invested in federal government agency securities. We place our investments in financial instruments that meet high credit quality standards. A portion of our long-term debt is based upon a variable rate which renews every three months. While changes in interest rates could decrease interest income or increase interest expense, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to changes in interest rates. We do not undertake any specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk and are not a party to any interest rate risk management transactions.
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables. Cash deposits are maintained with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Cash equivalents are principally invested in short-term money market funds or placed with major banks and high credit qualified financial institutions. Marketable securities primarily consist of those of a regulated investment company with underlying investments in federal agency mortgage-backed securities and a diversified equity investment vehicle. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to our receivables are limited due to the large number of clients and their dispersion across geographic areas. No single customer represents greater than ten percent of total accounts receivable.
Foreign Currency Risk We transact business in the local currencies of various foreign countries, principally Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and South Korea. The total of all of our foreign operations accounts for approximately 11 percent of total consolidated revenues. Also, most of our foreign operations match local currency revenues with local currency costs. Due to these reasons, we do not currently hedge against foreign operations.
Price Risk - We are exposed to price risk associated with changes in the fair value of investments in marketable securities relating to the startup of new pooled investment offerings. The length of time that our funds remain invested in these new pooled investment offerings is dependent on client subscriptions. We will redeem our investments as clients subscribe to these new investment offerings. To provide protection against potential fair value changes for these investments, we have entered into various derivative financial instruments. As of June 30, 2005, we held derivative financial instruments with a notional amount of $11.2 million with terms of less than one year. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings, whereas, the change in the fair value of the investment is recorded on the balance sheet in other comprehensive income. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument and changes in the fair value of the investment are not recognized through earnings in the same period. We did not enter into or hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes during 2005 or 2004.
Earnings include gains of $86 thousand and losses of $24 thousand in the six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical ten percent change in the fair value of our investments would be:
Investment |
Hypothetical Change In Value | ||
Mutual Funds |
$ | 4,452 | |
Equities |
1,116 | ||
$ | 5,568 | ||
In consideration of the hypothetical change in value, our derivative financial instruments related to equities would substantially offset the change in fair value of the equity securities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On September 30, 2004, SIDCO was named as a defendant in a putative consolidated amended class action complaint (the PBHG Complaint) filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland titled Stephen Carey v. Pilgrim Baxter & Associates, LTD, et. al. The PBHG Complaint is purportedly made on behalf of all persons that purchased or held PBHG mutual funds during the period from November 1, 1998 to November 13, 2003 and relates generally to various market timing practices allegedly permitted by the PBHG Funds. The suit names as defendants some 36 persons and entities, including various persons and entities affiliated with Pilgrim Baxter & Associates, Ltd., various PBHG Funds, various alleged market timers, various alleged facilitating brokers, various clearing brokers, various banks that allegedly financed the market timing activities, various distributors/underwriters and others. The PBHG Complaint alleges that SIDCO was the named distributor/underwriter from November 1998 until July 2001 for various PBHG funds in which market timing allegedly occurred during that period. The PBHG Complaint generally alleges that the prospectus for certain PBHG funds made misstatements and omissions concerning market timing practices in PBHG funds. The PBHG Complaint alleges that SIDCO violated Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and that SIDCO breached its fiduciary duties, engaged in constructive fraud and aided and abetted the breach by others of their fiduciary duties. The PBHG Complaint does not name SIDCO or any of its affiliates as a market timer, facilitating or clearing broker or financier of market timers. The PBHG Complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, disgorgement and restitution. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, SIDCO believes that it has valid defenses to plaintiffs claims and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.
In April, 2005, the Company and a subsidiary were named as defendants in a complaint (the Vermeg Complaint) filed by Vermeg Services S.A.R.L., a Tunisian company, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The subsidiary of the Company terminated a software license and services contract with Vermeg in March, 2005 citing failure of the Vermeg software to meet acceptance and performance criteria under the contract. The Vermeg Complaint seeks monetary damages which it alleges arose out of the purported breach of such contract by the Company and its subsidiary as well as various other relief arising from the alleged misappropriation of Vermeg software and related information that Vermeg alleges is proprietary to Vermeg. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain, the Company and its subsidiary believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously.
Item 2. Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
(e) | Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $953.4 million of our common stock, which includes an additional authorization of $50.0 million on May 25, 2005. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. |
