Key performance indicators The executive management team of Tahoe Bidco Lid, being the parent company of the largest group in which the Company is included, manages the operations of Tahoe Bidco Ltd's group of companies (the Group" and referred to as "Finastra Group") on a group basis. For this reason, the Company's Directors believe that analysis using key performance indicators for the Company is not appropriate for an understanding of the development, performance or position of the business of the Company. The development, performance and position of the Group, which includes the Company, are discussed on pages 4 to 7 of the Group's Annual Report, which does not form part of this report. Principal risks and uncertainties From the perspective of the Company, the principal risks and uncertainties are integrated with the principal risks of the Group and are not managed separately. Accordingly, the principal risks and uncertainties of the Group, which include those of the Company, are discussed on pages 6 to 9 of the Group's Annual Report, which does not form part of this report. In June 2018, a UK referendum resulted in a vote for the country to leave the European Union and the resultant uncertainty adds to the challenges for UK businesses. This uncertainty may lead to volatilty in markets with potential fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. These movements could impact, amongst other things, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and other assets. Sensitivity analysis associated with the Group's exposure to currency and interest rate risk was included in note 28 of the Group's Annual Report Overall, management assesses the direct impacts on the Company to be minimal in the short term, No significant changes to the Company's operations are expected and the Company will continue to consider changes that are in the best interests of its customers and investors.

Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019, General information ‘The Company is a private company limited by shares, domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is incorporated in England and Wales and its registered address is Four Kingdom Street, Paddington, London, W2 @BD. The nature of the Company's operations and its principle activities are set out in the Strategic Report on page 1 ‘Accounting policies Basis of preparation of financial staterients ‘The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain items which are measured at fair value as disclosed in the accounting policies below, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2008, Financial Reporting Standard 100 ‘Application of Financial Reporting Requirements’ (‘FRS 100") and Financial Reporting Standard 101 ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ ("FRS 101") ‘The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 101 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3) ‘The Company is a subsidiary company and is exempt from the requirement to prepare group financial statements by virtue of section 401 of the Companies Act 2006. These financial statements therefore present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. Financial Reporting Standard 101 - reduced disclosure exemptions {In preparing these financial statements, the Company has taken advantage of all relevant disclosure exemptions conferred by FRS 101. Therefore, these financial statements do not include: certain comparative information as otherwise required by EU endorses IFRS; certain disclosures regarding the Company's capital; a statement of cash flows: the effect of future accounting standards not yet adopted, the disclosure of the remuneration of key management personnel; and disclosure of related party transactions with other wholly owned members of the Group headed by Tahoe Bidco Ltd, In addition, and in accordance with FRS 101, further disclosure exemptions have been adopted because equivalent disclosures are included in the consolidated financial statements of Tahoe Bidco Lid. These financial statements therefore do not include certain disclosures in respect of + business combinations; financial instruments (other than certain disclosures required as a result of recording financial instruments at fair value); ‘+ fair value measurement (other than certain disclosures required as a result of recording financial instruments at fair value); and = impairment of assets, The financial statements of Tahoe Bidco Ltd can be obtained as described in note 20. 10 Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 Accoui 19 policies (continued) Changes in accounting policies New standards and interpretations applied for the first time IFRS 9 - Financial instruments The only notable new standard applied for the first time is IFRS 9 which has been applied from 1 June 2018. IFRS 9 provides a new expected losses impairment model for financial assets, including ‘trade receivables, intercompany receivables and includes amendments to classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 June 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and no adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out below. The Company's use of financial instruments is limited to short-term trading balances such as receivables and payables and borrowings. No changes have arisen on payables or borrowings. The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets (accrued income within other receivables). Intercompany trading balances are initially recognised at fair value being the invoiced amount and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment. Intercompany loans, whether informal or formal, are also recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment. Provisions are assessed by evaluating the credit risk of the counterparty and the ability of the counterparty to settle the amounts due in accordance with the terms of the loan. The ability of 2 related party to repay amounts due is a critical accounting estimate given the materiality of the balance. Intercompany loans balances are assessed using the IFRS 9 general model approach which requires an assessment of the probability of default and potential loss scenarios were a default to occur. The Finastra Group treasury strategy, availabilty of funds, and management intentions are all considered, In addition, the counterparty liquidity and financial position are critically evaluated, including an assessment of any improving or deteriorating financial position, to ensure amounts due can by collected. The Company has not identified any material impact from the adoption of IFRS 9 on intercompany balances and no impairment charge has been recorded. " Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 2 Accounting policies (continued) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the cost attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost, less estimated residual value of each asset, over its expected useful lfe. The residual values and useful economic lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually. The useful lives by major class of asset applied from the date of purchase are Leasehold improvements = 5-15 years or the period of the lease if shorter Fixtures and fitings = 4-15 years Impairment of non-financial assets All non-current assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may be impaired. Additionally, capitalised development expenditure relating to a product that is not yet in full production are subject to an annual impairment test. ‘An impairment loss is recognised in the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income to the ‘extent that an asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, which represents the higher of the asset's net realisable value and its value in use. An asset's value in use represents the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or from the cash generating unit to which it relates. The present value is calculated using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset concerned, Impairment losses recognised in previous periods for an asset other than goodwill are reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its carrying amount had no impairment loss been recognised in previous periods. Impairment losses in respect of goodwill are not reversed, Fixed asset investments Investments in subsidiary undertakings held as non-current assets are stated at cost plus incidental expenses less any provision for impairment considered necessary. Trade receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value, which is usually the original invoice amount and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less provision for impairment. The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and current balances with banks and similar institutions, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and have an original maturity of three months or less. On the Company Balance Sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 12 Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 ‘Accounting policies (continued) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from proceeds. Trade payables Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value, which is usually the original invoice value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. If payment is due within one year or less, payables are classified as current liabilties, if not, they are presented as non- current liabilities. Interest-bearing loans and other borrowings All interest-bearing loans and other borrowings with banks and simitar institutions are initially recognised at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs, After initial recognition, interest- bearing loans and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, discount or premium, The difference between the proceeds (net of directly attributable transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Company income statement, within finance costs, over the period of the borrowings. Borrowings are classified as current liabilties unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the lability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Taxation Taxation comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in shareholders’ equity, in which case It too is recognised in shareholders’ equity, Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or ‘substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date, along with any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Company's Statement of ‘Comprehensive Income because it excludes items that are never taxable or deductible, Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and is accounted for using the Balance Sheet liability method, apart from the following differences which are not provided for: goodwill not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in ‘subsidiaries to the extent they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. ‘The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, using tax rates and laws, which are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled, or the asset is realised. Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that recovery is probable, Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilties and assets, and these relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or these tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 13 Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 Accounting policies (continued) Taxation (continued) A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised, Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that itis no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Company considers the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes, penalties and interest may be due. Amounts recorded are based on the Company's best estimate of amounts to be paid Foreign currency translation ‘The financial statements are presented in US dollar, which is the functional currency of the Company ‘and the Company's presentational currency. The Company determines its own functional currency land items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are, on intial recognition, recorded in the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction, Monetary assets and liabilties denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet date. All exchange movements are included in the Company's income statement for the period. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity concemed are translated using the ‘exchange rate prevailing at the dates of the initial transaction. For presenting financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's non-US dollar functional currency subsidiary undertakings are translated into US dollar at exchange rates prevailing at the Balance Sheet date. The results of these subsidiary undertakings are translated into US dollar at the average rates of exchange for the relevant period Employee benefits Pension obligations ‘The Company operates defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes which cover the majority of its employees. Defined benefit pension scheme liabilities are measured using a projected-unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high-quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as they arise. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value. The pension scheme surplus (to the extent that it is recoverable) or deficit is recognised in full on the Company Balance Sheet. Any current or past service cost and administration expenses are recognised in the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income as are the net interest on the schemes’ liabilities. Full independent actuarial valuations of the defined benefit scheme are carried out on a regular basis and updated at each reporting date, The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Company. Contributions to defined contribution schemes are charged to the Company's Statement of Comprehensive Income as incurred, “4 Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 ‘Accounting policies (continued) Employee benefits (continued) Other post-employment obligations ‘Some subsidiaries provide other post-retirement benefits to their retirees (e.g. gratuities). The entitlement of those benefits is usually conditional on the employee completing a specific length of service. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using actuarial assumptions, Actuarial gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Termination benefits ‘Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Company before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within JAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ and involves the payment of termination benefits, Leases ‘The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset or assets. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are Classified as operating leases.

When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the pension liability recognised within the ‘Statement of financial position. ‘The plan is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below. Asset volatility ‘The liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields; if assets underperform this yield, this will create a deficit. The Plan holds a significant proportion of growth assets (e.g. equities, property, absolute fund return) which are expected to outperform corporate bonds in the long term while providing volatility and risk in the short term. The allocation to growth assets is monitored ‘such that itis suttable with the Plan's long term objectives. Changes in bond yields A decrease in the corporate bond yields will increase the Plan's liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the Plan’s bond holdings. Inflation risk ‘The majority of the Plan's benefit obligations are linked to inflation, and higher inflation will ead to higher liabilities (although, in most cases, caps on the level of inflationary increases are in place to protect against extreme inflation). The majority of the assets are either unaffected by, or loosely correlated with, inflation, meaning that an increase in inflation will also increase the deficit. Life expectancy The majority of the Plan's obligations are to provide benefits forthe lfe of the members, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the lables. ‘The Plan uses the buy in contract and liability matching assets (which includes swaps and cash funds) as matching assets. The remainder of the assets is used as growth assets. Funding levels are monitored on a quarterly basis and the next triennial valuation is due to be completed as at 31 May 2022 ‘There are no employer contributions expected to be paid to the Plan for the year ending 31 May 2020. ‘The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is approximately 15 years. 30 Finastra Group Holdings Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 May 2019 16. 47. 18, Called up share capital 2019 2018 sm $M Allotted, called up and fully paid 334,387,338 (2018: 334,387,338) Ordinary shares of £0.0114286 each 6 6 Reserves Share premium account Share premium comprises amounts subscribed for share capital in excess of nominal value.
