UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of Decision Data System B.V. by FactSet Research Systems Inc. (“FDS”), using the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. These pro forma statements were prepared as if this transaction had been completed as of September 1, 2002 for statements of income purposes and as of May 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually been reported had this transaction occurred on September 1, 2002 for statements of income purposes and as of May 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations. The pro forma combined condensed financial statements include adjustments to reflect the allocation of purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of DDS. The purchase price allocation for DDS is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of DDS’s assets and liabilities becomes available. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of DDS will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | Basis of Pro Forma Presentation |
On September 1, 2004, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated as of June 29, 2004, among FactSet Research Systems Inc., FactSet Europe S.à.r.l., Decision Data Luxembourg S.A. and the seller’s stockholder representative, FactSet Europe S.à.r.l. acquired from Decision Data Luxembourg S.A. all the outstanding stock of Decision Data System B.V., the Netherlands holding company that owns all the stock of the JCF Group of companies, in exchange for 257,067 shares of Common Stock of FactSet Research Systems Inc. and €40,000,000. FactSet Europe S.à.r.l. is a wholly owned, Luxembourg-based subsidiary of FactSet Research Systems Inc.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at May 31, 2004 is presented to give effect to the acquisition of DDS by FDS had it been consummated on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of income of FDS and DDS for the year ended August 31, 2003 and the nine months ended May 31, 2004 are presented as if the transactions had been consummated on September 1, 2002.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements reflect an estimated purchase price of $65.2 million. The total purchase price of the acquisition is as follows (in thousands):
| Cash paid |
$ | 51,077 | |
| Fair value of FactSet common stock issued |
12,093 | ||
| Estimated direct acquisition costs |
2,043 | ||
| Total purchase price |
$ | 65,213 | |
The final purchase price is dependent on the actual direct acquisition costs. Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to DDS’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of the acquisition. Based upon the purchase price and the valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on FactSet’s final analysis, is as follows (in thousands):
| Tangible assets acquired |
$ | 12,965 | ||
| Amortizable intangible assets: |
||||
| Customer relationships |
4,800 | |||
| Software technology |
2,700 | |||
| Data content |
13,200 | |||
| Trade name |
1,000 | |||
| Non-competition agreements |
160 | |||
| Goodwill |
47,940 | |||
| Total assets acquired |
82,765 | |||
| Liabilities assumed |
(17,552 | ) | ||
| Net assets acquired |
$ | 65,213 | ||
Intangible assets of $21.9 million have been allocated to amortizable intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, amortized over ten years using an accelerated amortization method; software technology, amortized over seven years using a straight-line amortization method; data content, amortized over twenty years using a straight-line amortization method; trade name, amortized over three years using a straight-line amortization method; and non-competition agreements, amortized between two and six years using a straight-line amortization method.
Goodwill totaling $47.9 million represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
6
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized and will be tested for impairment at least annually. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of DDS will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Final purchase accounting adjustments may therefore differ materially from the pro forma adjustments presented here.
| 2. | Pro Forma Adjustments |
Certain reclassifications have been made to confirm DDS’s historical amounts to FactSet’s financial statement presentation.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared as if the acquisition was completed on May 31, 2004 for balance sheet purposes and as of September 1, 2002 for statements of income purposes and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:
| (a) | To eliminate the amortization of DDS historical goodwill and reflect amortization of the amortizable intangible assets from the acquisition. The weighted average life of amortizable intangible assets approximates 15 years. |
| (b) | To adjust the provision (benefit) for taxes to reflect the impact of DDS’s pro forma adjustments. The adjustment has been calculated using the effective tax rate of the combined companies. |
| (c) | To include the 257,067 FactSet common shares paid as part of the acquisition purchase price. |
| (d) | To adjust DDS deferred revenue to estimated fair value. |
| (e) | To reflect the cash payment for the DDS acquisition and the resulting decrease in interest income. |
| (f) | To establish amortizable intangible assets and non-amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition. |
| (g) | To adjust other current assets to include a prepaid commission asset to conform DDS’s accounting policies to FactSet’s policies. |
| (h) | To record deferred tax liability arising from the non-tax deductible intangible assets. |
| (i) | To eliminate the historical stockholders’ equity of DDS and record the issuance of 257,067 FactSet common shares paid as part of the acquisition price. |
| (j) | To record severance costs associated with the acquisition of DDS. |
| 3. | Pro Forma Combined Net Income |
Shares used to calculate unaudited pro forma combined net income per basic and diluted share were computed using FDS’s weighted average shares outstanding during the respective periods plus the issuance of 257,067 FactSet common shares in connection with the DDS acquisition.
