The Group has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The 
facility comprised one tranche of $585m which will mature not later than March 
2010 and a second tranche of $74m which was originally scheduled to mature not 
later than December 2008. However following the disposals made in the past six 
months our credit needs have reduced and this second tranche was cancelled in 
November 2007. 
 
Bank loans 
 
At 30 November 2007 there were no loans drawn down under the revolving credit 
facility. 
 
Arrangement fees in respect of this facility were included in the original 
carrying value of the loan. These costs are amortised in the income statement 
over the expected term of the facility. The amount of unamortised facility 
arrangement fees at 30 November 2007 is £0.3m. The facility is guaranteed by 
certain companies within the Group. 
 
The Group is subject to certain financial covenants under the revolving credit 
facility: these include a minimum ratio of operating profit, before depreciation 
and amortisation to net interest and a maximum ratio of net debt to operating 
profit, before depreciation and amortisation.

The property provisions comprise the net present value of the estimated future 
costs of vacant and sublet properties and the excess over market value for 
occupied properties of subsidiaries acquired in previous years. The provision 
relating to vacant and sublet properties is expected to be utilised on average 
over the next eight years, and the excess over market value provision over the 
next six years. 
 
Contingent consideration is interest bearing and is payable in cash. 
 
Included in other provisions are amounts primarily in respect of litigation and 
non property related onerous contracts. 
 
16   Contingent liabilities 
 
As set out in note 30 of the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 May 2007 
the Group had applied to the IRS to correct a number of administrative errors in 
the operation of part of the US defined contribution pension schemes. The IRS 
issued a compliance statement on 21 September in respect of this issue, the 
implementation of which is due by 21 February 2008 and is not expected to result 
in a material cost to the Group. 
 
The Group's subsidiaries and the company can be parties to legal actions and 
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Whilst the outcome of current 
outstanding actions and claims remains uncertain, it is expected that they will 
be resolved without a material impact to the Group's financial position.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO MISYS PLC 
 
Introduction 
 
We been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial 
statements in the half-yearly financial report ("interim report") for the six 
months ended 30 November 2007, which comprises the Consolidated income 
statement, Consolidated balance sheet, Statement of recognised income and 
expenditure, Consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes. We have 
read the other information contained in the interim report and considered 
whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with 
the information in the condensed set of financial statements. 
 
Directors' responsibilities 
 
The interim report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the 
directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim report in 
accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's 
Financial Services Authority. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the group are 
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The 
condensed set of financial statements included in this interim report has been 
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim 
Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union. 
 
Our responsibility 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed 
set of financial statements in the interim report based on our review. This 
report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company 
for the purpose of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial 
Services Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in producing this 
report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other 
person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where 
expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing. 
 
Scope of review 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review 
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information 
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the Auditing 
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial 
information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for 
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review 
procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in 
accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and 
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware 
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we 
do not express an audit opinion. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe 
that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim report for the six 
months ended 30 November 2007 is not prepared, in all material respects, in 
accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European 
Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's 
Financial Services Authority.

Notes: 
 
 
 A. The maintenance and integrity of the Misys plc website is the responsibility 
    of the Directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not involve 
    consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept no 
    responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial 
    statements since they were initially presented on the website. 
 
 
 B. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination 
    of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
