Wallstreet City Financials The integrated treasury workstation for mid-sized corporations Wall Street Systems Empowering Treasury, Trading and Settlement FACT SHEET: Wallstreet City Financials A CONFIGURABLE SOLUTION TO EFFICIENTLY MANAGE TREASURY OPERATIONS Wall Street Systems City Financials solution (City Financials) provides corporations with the ability to efficiently manage their treasury operations using the latest database technology made available via a simple web browser. City Financials provides cash management, deal administration, and risk management together with seamless and powerful accounting and reporting from a single integrated treasury workstation.

Wallstreet City Financials operates from one central database that can be located anywhere in the world enabling the efficient control of treasury data in a timely manner. Data from any part of the organisation can be collected or entered in real time and analysed centrally to give an accurate picture of the financial status no matter how complex the structure or demographic nature an organisation may have.

Cash ManagEMEnt Key FeaturES Automated electronic bank report processing and bank account reconciliation Real-time cash position management with integrated cash forecasting analysis Transfer and payment processing In-House Banking functionality to provide intercompany account management and reporting via the web Cash Positions Multiple cash positions can be created and stored for easy position analysis. Each position can analyse a user-selected range of accounts over a user-defined time series. Positions include all known cash flows within the system and can optionally include forecasted data or simulated deals. Cash Forecasting Forecasts can be input or uploaded using a web browser. Users can set simple mapping rules to allow standard spreadsheets to be defined for forecast submission or to easily use existing spreadsheets. Payments and Transfers 3rd party payments, intercompany payments and bank transfers can be entered as either free-format or templated transactions. All payments immediately update the cash positions, generate accounting entries and set-up settlement processing for subsequent printing or exporting to EFT payment systems. In-House Banking In-house banking services are provided to group finance operations, all available through secure web-based access. Electronic Bank Reporting With full support for industry-standard file formats, files can be imported from any number of banks or reporting services. Automatic Account Reconciliation Electronic statements are automatically reconciled against the system generated account statement. Matched or unmatched items can be quickly viewed. Manual reconciliation includes facilities to assist manyto-one, one-to-many and many-to-many matching. Deal administration Key FeaturES Extensive transaction support including all major capital market, foreign exchange and derivative transactions Integrated workflow and strategy control Automatic generation of payments and confirmation records Real-time position management, reporting and transaction event diary Integrated Workflow All transactions contain a built-in workflow mechanism. Each transaction can be in either a draft, pending or normal state. Historic records of each transaction are maintained. Payment Processing Once a transaction has been accepted, the system generates payments and confirmation records automatically, using user-defined standard settlement instructions. A payment diary maintains all the payments that need to be made over a selected timeframe and provides a user-definable authorisation process. Confirmations Confirmations can be printed using user-defined templates or exported in file formats appropriate for interfacing with confirmation matching systems. Transaction Support Supports all major transactions, including money market activity, commercial paper, corporate bonds, government bonds, floating rate notes, treasury bills and notes, foreign exchange spot and forwards, foreign exchange swaps, currency options (vanilla, knock-in, knock-out or double barrier options), interest rate swaps (vanilla, cross-currency, basis swaps, amortising or irregular swaps), swaptions, interest rate, currency and commodity futures, future rate agreements, caps, collars and floors. Competitive Dealing Competitive bid data can be captured for any transactions. Deals done on on-line dealing platforms can be uploaded together with bid information provided by the dealing platform. Position Management All transactions update positions in real-time. Cash positions are updated with all known cash flows over the life of the transaction, supporting both current cash position analysis and forward projection analysis. PAGE 2 OF 8 Edition 2

Risk ManagEMEnt Key FeaturES Real-time credit exposure tracking and limit breach warning Fair value and market value analysis for all transactions Simulation analysis Stress testing, sensitivity and historical accuracy reporting Complete market data and pricing history Market Valuations The system provides comprehensive market pricing functionality through the integration of libraries from FinancialCAD, a leading risk management analysis tool. Transactions can be priced using systemcalculated zero coupon curves, created from user-supplied deposit rates, futures prices and/or par swap rates. Option pricing and greeks are available for vanilla, knock-in, knock-out and double-barrier European or American options. Valuations can also be uploaded from spreadsheet and incorporated into the reporting throughout the system. Simulations and Fair Value All transaction types can be entered into the system in a draft state and a fair value calculated. All reporting can optionally include the draft or simulated transactions in order to assess their impact on the overall portfolio. Draft transactions can then be either deleted or simply converted it into a real transaction for subsequent processing Credit Exposure Monitoring Users can create multiple credit exposure policies, each defining a particular type of exposure to track (e.g. investment credit risk, counterparty FX exposure). Within each policy, specific types of transactions can have rules associated to define the exposure amount and exposure amounts can be weighted over time. Limits can be defined on counterparties and groups of counterparties. Groupings can be used to monitor exposures to user-defined collections, such as geographic region or industry type. Credit Limit Breaching The system provides configurations for handling limit breaches. Counterparty selections can be filtered to only allow entities with sufficient availability to be selected on a deal. Alternatively, all counterparties can be selected but a warning would prompt the dealer in the event of any limit breaches. The dealer receives an immediate warning and all limit breaches generate a real-time message that can be sent to subscribed users either via an instant messaging service or email. Sensitivity Analysis Unlimited sets of market data can be maintained within the system. Pricing can be calculated using any selected market data or zero coupon curves. Reporting can compare and contrast the impact of different market condition. The system can also analyse the impact of changes on an existing market condition by shifting curves or applying percentage adjustments. Market Data and Pricing History Interest rates, exchange rates, volatilities and yield curves are maintained within the system and can be uploaded from spreadsheet or XML to automatically import data from information services such as Reuters and Bloomberg. All market data and valuations are stored over time. It is possible to report a single transaction or a portfolio s pricing changes over time. Historical market data can be used in reporting for analysis over time or for benchmarks against portfolio performance. Edition 2 PAGE 3 OF 8

Financial Reporting A full set of standard accounting reports are supplied. These include trail balances, consolidated trial balances, balance sheets and profit and loss statements. Users are able to easily customise these to suit their own particular reporting and corporate imagery. Journal Processing Journal input provides a mechanism for management accountants to pass additional entries into the treasury ledger that are not related to any specific transaction, such as internal management expenses that need to be charged to group intercompany accounts. Treasury Ledger The system contains a fully integrated, multicurrency accounting ledger specifically focused on the requirements of treasury accounting. Standard accounting for each transaction type is supplied with the software but users can also create their own transaction accounting models. All transactions update the ledger automatically as entered. Multi-entity Accounting Each financial entity in the system can have its own period end definitions. Period ends can be closed by entity. Financial reports can be produced for one company, groups of companies or for all companies. Multi-currency Accounting Complete accounts are maintained for each currency. All reports can detail both actual currency amounts and entity base currency values. General Ledger Exporting City Financials contains its own internal ledger. The process of updating a corporation s general ledger is a simple case of mapping accounts to each other. Transaction Reports are not necessary all transactions have specifically created a set of accounting entries within the internal ledger that can be checked and verified whenever required. The internal ledger structure facilitates seamless mapping to GL packages such as Oracle Financials, JD Edwards and SAP or consolidation packages such as Hyperion. Each account can also have specific export references stored on it if it needs to override the automatic translation rules. Accounting exports can be scheduled to run at user-defined intervals. Files can be generated in flexible spreadsheet, CSV or XML formats for direct import into other systems. PAGE 4 OF 8 Edition 2

Risk valuation tool Account statement executive summary Daily cash position REPORTING Automatic Report Generation Users can create reports without any specific report writing skills.

Instant Messaging Events automatically trigger messages that can be sent to an integrated instant messaging service within the system or via email. Users can subscribe to messages relevant to them. Sample messages include credit limit breaches and changes to static data that require authorisation. Integrated Security The system uses a fully integrated graphical report designer instead of relying on external third-party reporting tools, delivering a consistent environment and seamless interaction between on-screen enquiries and reports. Multiple Output Options All reports created within the system can be set to produce results to a printer, to an email address/distribution list or to file. Files can be in a large variety of output formats, including PDF, Excel, Word, HTML and XML.

Previous day bank files can be automatically loaded into the system and reconciled overnight, providing exception reports ready for the start of the working day. Spreadsheets of market data can be loaded every user-defined number of minutes to allow intra-day revaluations. Scheduled Reporting Reports and data exports can be scheduled to run at user-defined intervals. Users can specify reports to run daily, weekly, monthly or at specific times/days through a simple scheduling wizard. Edition 2 PAGE 5 OF 8
