PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

FactSet Research Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "FactSet") supplies financial intelligence to the global investment community. The Company combines more than 100 databases, including data from tens of thousands of companies as well as multiple stock markets, research firms and governments, into a single online source of information and analytics.

While obtaining financial information from over 50 database suppliers, FactSet also seeks to maintain contractual relationships with a minimum of two database providers for each type of financial data, when possible. Database supplier contracts are generally renewable annually and may often be terminated on one year’s notice. Several of the database suppliers are in direct competition with each other and in some cases, with FactSet. Fees for data are either billed directly to FactSet or its clients. Data charges billed to the Company are on a fixed or royalty (per client) fee basis.

Through FactSet’s exclusive proprietary communication and software tools, clients obtain access to the Company’s mainframe centers and its aggregated data library using a private wide area network. This secure and reliable network provides a direct, high-speed data transmission link between the Company’s mainframes and the client’s personal computers or computer network. For an annual subscription fee, clients acquire use of the private wide area network allowing access to the FactSet system.

An integral part of FactSet’s strategy to maintain long-term client relations, involves consulting, training and technical support. The Company established a new call center system, including such services as skill-based call routing, to help consultants aid clients more efficiently. The Company also recently installed a new customer relationship management system. Using this system, the Company’s consulting and sales teams gain improved intelligence about client activities and are able to develop better tools to service them. Clients are also encouraged to participate in a myriad of training programs, conducted either at the client’s location or a FactSet office. Along with technical support available around the clock, this training is designed to give clients a comprehensive understanding of FactSet’s service.

The financial information services industry, containing both large and well-capitalized companies, as well as smaller, niche firms, is a competitive market recognized for its continuous significant technological advances. International and domestic competitors include market data suppliers, news and information providers and many of the database providers that supply the Company with financial data included in the FactSet system. International competitors include Datastream, owned by The Thomson Corporation, and RIMES. Domestic competitors include online, CD-ROM, and Internet database suppliers and integrators such as The Thomson Corporation, FAME, COMPUSTAT, a product of Standard & Poors, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, and Multex.com Inc. Several of these competitors offer products or services similar to those provided by FactSet and in some cases at a lower price.

The Company believes that it has become essential for financial professionals to be able to access data from multiple sources which they can combine and download into spreadsheets in order to analyze the information. During fiscal 2001, FactSet made great strides in expanding its current and new services to clients. SPAR (Style, Performance and Risk), which was introduced in fiscal 2000, gained considerable market leverage in fiscal 2001. SPAR allows portfolio managers to analyze the style, performance and risk of selected portfolios, benchmarks and competitor funds. In addition, the Company updated Portfolio Analysis in fiscal 2001 and added transaction-based returns analysis to the application. The Company also broadened its global content by adding more economic data and regional fundamental data, particularly on companies based in Latin America and the Far East. During fiscal 2001, FactSet added share ownership data through its acquisition of the LionShares data. The share ownership applications allow users to access company and ownership details, ownership statistics, ownership analysis and investor region analysis for companies whose shares are publicly traded.

In July 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of a new data center in Manchester, New Hampshire, along with its associated lease, from Vitts Networks, Inc. The 12,750 square foot state-of-the-art facility includes 7,500 square feet of conditioned data center space. The new facility has the size, redundancy and flexibility to host the next generation of FactSet’s online services, with a greater level of security and reliability than the Company had previously been able to offer to its clients. The Company expects to begin operations in Manchester in late November 2001, at which time FactSet’s New York City data center will be closed and converted to conventional offices.

The number of employees of FactSet and its subsidiaries totaled 612 as of August 31, 2001, compared to 432 at August 31, 2000.
