Comment Regarding Non-GAAP

Sapiens' management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measurescan enhance the understanding of the company's ongoing economic performance,and provides useful information to investors regarding financial and businesstrends relating to the company's financial condition and results ofoperations. Sapiens therefore uses internally the non-GAAP information toevaluate and manage the Company's operations.

This non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or analternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may bedifferent from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Inaddition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on anycomprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sapiens believes thatnon-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect allof the amounts associated with Sapiens' results of operations as determinedin accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used toevaluate Sapiens' results of operations in conjunction with the correspondingGAAP measures.
