BUSINESS

Overview

We provide a comprehensive set of integration products, including desktop
integration with our new Cicero product, server integration with our Geneva
Integration Suite of products and application deployment tools with our Geneva
Appbuilder product. Our flagship product line, Cicero(R), is a business
integration software product that maximizes end-user productivity, streamlines
business operations and integrates disparate systems and applications. By
using our Cicero solution, companies can decrease their customer management
costs, increase their customer service level and more efficiently cross-sell
the full range of their products and services resulting in an overall increase
in return on information technology investments.

The key component of the Cicero solution is visual integration at the
desktop that consolidates disparate applications into a cohesive, simplified
work environment embodied in a single look and feel desktop user interface.
Cicero is designed to increase the productivity of anyone requiring access to
multiple applications and information sources. Cicero provides a unique
approach that allows companies to organize components of their existing
applications into processess required to complete common tasks. Cicero
streamlines all activities by providing a single, seamless user interface for
instant access to all systems associated with a task. Cicero provides
automatic information sharing among all line-of-business applications and
tools. Cicero is ideal for deployment in customer contact centers where its
highly productive, task-oriented user interface promotes user efficiency.

We also offer a suite of products for eBusiness and eCommerce under the
Geneva brand name. The Geneva Integration Suite has six core components that
we believe collectively provide a comprehensive suite of integration products
for eBusiness integration at the server level. These components include Geneva
Enterprise Integrator, Geneva Process Automator, Geneva Integration Broker,
Geneva Message Queuing, Geneva AppBuilder and Geneva XIPC. Although we plan to
focus our marketing efforts principally on our Cicero solution, we will
continue to support our Geneva products and expect them to be an ongoing but
declining source of revenue.

We were incorporated in New York in 1988, and re-incorporated in Delaware in
1999. Our principal executive offices are located at 8000 Regency Parkway,
Cary, North Carolina, 27511, and our telephone number is (919) 380-5000.

Strategic Realignment

We have been a global provider of software solutions to help companies
integrate new and existing applications as well as extend those applications
to the Internet. This market segment is commonly known as "Enterprise
Application Integration" or "EAI." Historically, EAI solutions work directly
at the server level allowing disparate applications to communicate with each
other.

Until 2001, we focused primarily on the development, sale and support of EAI
solutions through our Geneva product suite. After extensive strategic
consultation with outside advisors and an internal analysis of our products
and services, we recognized that a new market opportunity had emerged. This
opportunity was represented by the growing need for a solution to the
disparate application problems experienced by larger companies in the
financial services industry. With Cicero, we believe that we have found a
novel solution to this problem. Armed with our Cicero solution and our
existing experience in and understanding of the EAI marketplace, we are
positioned to be a leading provider of business integration solutions to the
financial services industry.

Market Opportunity

Cicero

Our initial target market for Cicero is the customer contact centers of
companies in the financial services industry. Financial services customer
contact centers are characterized by large numbers of customer service agents
that process phone calls, faxes, e-mails and other incoming customer inquiries
and requests. Our goal is to greatly increase the efficiency of the customer
service agents of our target market, thereby increasing their customer
retention and customer satisfaction. This increased efficiency is attained in
a non-invasive manner, allowing companies to continue with their existing
applications in a more productive manner.

Generally, managers of customer contact centers in the financial services
industry are under pressure to provide increased customer service at the
lowest possible cost while dealing with high employee turnover and increasing
training costs. Some of the primary challenges faced by customer contact
centers in the financial services industry include:

. Customer Service. A one call, one contact system enhances customer
service by avoiding multiple transfers to different agents to deal with
diverse customer service issues. Ideally, the customer service agent
could provide the call-in customer with multi-channel customer
interfaces with timely access to all information that the customer
needs. Increasing customer service and customer intimacy is one of the
primary metrics on which contact centers are evaluated by management.

. Contact Center Staffing. The contact center industry is characterized by
increasing staff training costs and complexity, high annual turnover and
increasing costs per call. We believe these difficulties stem from
increased customer expectations, the ever-increasing complexity and
diversity of the computer applications used by customer service agents,
and the goals of decreasing training time and increasing the return on
investment in the customer service agent.

. Industry Consolidation. The financial services industry is in a constant
state of consolidation. When companies in the financial services
industry consolidate, the customer contact centers are generally
consolidated to lower overall costs and to reduce redundancies. This
consolidation generally leads to re-training and use of multiple
applications handling similar functions that can be quite difficult to
integrate successfully.

Geneva Integration Suite

A significant challenge facing global 5000-sized organizations today is the
integration and management of critical business applications which run on
disparate or otherwise incompatible computer systems. Business and competitive
pressures are pushing companies to move towards an eBusiness model as quickly
as possible in order to remain competitive and viable in an increasingly
online, information-driven economy. eBusiness systems involve a combination of
consumer-oriented or business-to-business eCommerce, internal and external
data exchange, online customer service, customer relationship management and
value chain integration processes. Inter-operability and information exchange
between new and legacy systems within the extended enterprise are key
components for a successful eBusiness strategy, as is the ability to link
those applications and processes in extremely secure and highly reliable ways.

Enterprise application integration solutions, including those developed by
Level 8, are designed to provide these capabilities through an open,
enterprise-wide infrastructure that can accomplish the complete integration of
a company's entire computing systems environment, including technologies
enabling eBusiness and eCommerce.

Our Solution

Cicero

We have been a leading provider of software that integrates an enterprise's
applications at the server level so that disparate applications can
communicate with each other. Based on our experience in the EAI industry, we
determined that a compelling product would be one that integrates disparate
applications at a visual level in addition to at the server level. As a
result, we proceeded to procure a two-year exclusive license to develop and
market Cicero. Cicero was developed internally by Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("Merrill Lynch"), to increase the efficiency of
approximately 30,000 employees that have daily contact with Merrill Lynch
customers. When coupled with our existing technologies or with solutions from
other EAI vendors, Cicero becomes the comprehensive Cicero solution and
provides our customers with a front-to-back integrated system that appears as
a single application to the end-user.

Cicero is a software product that allows companies to integrate their
existing applications into a seamless integrated desktop. Cicero subordinates
and controls most Windows-based applications and provides a seamless
environment with a consistent look and feel. The end-user can navigate any
number of applications whether local, client-server, mainframe legacy or web-
browser in a consistent and intuitive way that is completely customizable by
their employer.

The Cicero solution provides the following key features:

. Integrated End-User Environment. The end-user can use all of the
applications necessary for his or her job function from a single
application with a consistent look and feel. Cicero integrates the
execution and functionality of a variety of custom or packaged Windows-
based applications. If a software product is designed to provide output
into a Windows GUI environment, Cicero can subordinate its presentation
and control it through the Cicero environment.

. Real-Time Information Center. Cicero is configurable to run a real-time
"information center" including incoming message alerts, scrolling
headlines and real-time video. Any information that is time-sensitive or
actionable can be displayed side-by-side with the currently selected
application page.

. Context Passing. Cicero carries "context" information between shared
applications through a publish and subscribe protocol. Performance
efficiency can be optimized by sharing between applications and pre-
filing commonly used information such as customer account numbers.

. Dynamic Configuration. The Cicero "shell" is constructed at run-time.
Selected screens and user interface components are dynamically created
and initialized. Existing features are easily added or removed.

. Management Tools. Comprehensive tools are built into the system for
version management, automatic component updates and user preference
configuration. Remote control and diagnostic tools are integrated to
provide off-site help desk and trouble shooting.

Deployment of the Cicero solution can provide our customers with the
following key benefits:

. Lower Average Cost Per Call and Average Call Time. Cicero increases the
efficiency of the customer service agent by placing all productivity
applications within a few mouse clicks and consolidating all standard
applications into a single integrated desktop. Cost per call is lowered
because the customer service agent is more productive in moving between
disparate applications and is able to handle different requests without
having to transfer the customer to another customer service agent.

. Reduce Staff Cost. Cicero reduces staff cost in two ways. First, by
increasing the efficiency of each customer service agent, a contact
center can handle the same volume of customer service requests with a
smaller staff. Second, because Cicero simplifies the use of all contact
center applications, training

3


costs and time can be reduced, placing newly hired staff into productive
positions faster than under the current status quo.

. Increase Cross-Selling Efficiency. The consolidation of all customer
data and customer specific applications can increase the efficiency of
cross-selling of products and services. For instance, a Cicero enabled
contact center might be configured to inform the customer service agent
that the customer, while a brokerage services customer, does not use
bill paying or other offered services. On the other hand, Cicero can
help prevent customer service agents from selling a product that is
inappropriate for that customer or a product or service that the
customer already has through the company. Increasing the efficiency of
cross-selling can both increase revenues and avoid customer
dissatisfaction.

. Deliver Best in Class Customer Service. Increasing customer service is
one of the primary methods by which a company in the highly competitive
financial services industry can differentiate itself from its
competition. By increasing the efficiency and training level of its
agents, decreasing average time per call and increasing effective cross-
selling, the Cicero enabled contact center presents its customers with a
more intimate and satisfying customer service experience that can aid in
both customer retention and as a differentiator for customer
acquisition.

. Preserve Existing Information Technology Investment. Cicero integrates
applications at the presentation level, which allows better use of
existing custom designed applications and divergent computing platforms
(e.g., midrange, client/server, LAN and Web), which are not readily
compatible with each other or with legacy mainframe systems. Linking
together the newer computing applications to existing systems helps
preserve and increase the return on the investments made by
organizations in their information technology systems.

Additionally, by visually and structurally linking the flexibility and
innovations available on newer computing platforms and applications to
the rich databases and functions that are typically maintained on the
larger mainframe computers, organizations can utilize this information
in new ways. The Cicero solution helps organizations bridge the gap
between legacy systems and newer platforms. The result is the extension
of existing capabilities to a modern streamlined interface in which the
underlying system architectures, such as the Web, mainframe, mid-range
or client-server, are transparent to the end-user customer service
agent. This preserves the existing information technology investment and
increases efficiency between applications.

. Support a Broad Range of Applications, Platforms and Standards. The IT
departments of larger enterprises need solutions to integrate a broad
array of applications and platforms using a wide variety of industry
standards to ensure ease of implementation and integration with existing
applications. The Cicero solution provides visual application
integration solutions that support common industry standards and can
handle a wide array of disparate applications and data types while
operating on a Windows NT or Windows 2000 platform. The Cicero solution
can be used to link custom or packaged applications together regardless
of the tools or programming language used to create the application by
integrating those applications at the presentation level.

. Ease of Implementation and Enhanced Information Technology
Productivity. The Cicero solution allows contact center and financial
services managers to create comprehensive data transformation and
information exchange solutions without the need for non-standard coding.
Our products provide pre-built adapters for a wide variety of different
systems that are pre-programmed for transforming data into the format
required by that system and transporting it using the appropriate
transport mechanism. This greatly simplifies and speeds implementation
of new solutions into the deployed Cicero framework. For instance, while
in operation at Merrill Lynch, Cicero was updated to include software
for Siebel Systems over a period of only two days when Merrill Lynch
decided to implement the Siebel Systems solution. The Cicero solution
allows the financial services industry to rapidly integrate new and
existing applications with little or no customization required.

Geneva Integration Suite

The Geneva Integration Suite is a leading line of products for integrating
enterprise applications both within the enterprise and between business-to-
business partners at the server level. Different computer systems and
applications vary widely in the ways in which they send, receive, view and
process information. As a result, diverse applications running on different
systems cannot work together because information cannot generally be exchanged
between them.

Our Geneva line of products is designed to enable the sharing of information
between disparate systems by automatically transforming the data from one
system into the formats and representations that can be used by other
application systems. This means organizations can link legacy systems to other
legacy systems, to new systems, and also to the Web. In this way, our products
can facilitate the delivery of timely enterprise-wide views of critical
business information while substantially reducing the need for complex and
costly manual programming and ongoing software program modifications.

Our software is flexible enough to link together a wide array of
applications operating on disparate systems, and can scale to meet the
challenges of growth and technological development in even the most
heterogeneous computing environments. Most significantly, our products allow
enterprises to utilize their core system functions for new uses including Web
access. This allows for the full support of eBusiness and eCommerce and closer
relationships with business-to-business partners and suppliers.

Our Geneva line of products enables rapid eBusiness implementations,
reducing installation and integration costs, including the extension of ERP
packages, and provides an open platform for integrating new or acquired
applications, systems or architectures. Furthermore, the Geneva line of
products can be used to link existing operational systems to the Internet,
transmitting communications via the Internet as well as between applications.

Our Strategy

Our short-term goal is to be the recognized global leader in providing
complete desktop level application integration to the financial services
industry. The following are the key elements of our strategy:

. Leverage Our Existing Customers and Experience in the Financial Services
Industry. We have had success in the past with our Geneva Integration
Suite line of products in the financial services industry. We intend to
utilize these long term relationships and our understanding of the
business to create opportunities for sales of the Cicero solution.

. Build on Our Successes to Expand into New Markets. Our short-term goal
is to gain a significant presence in the financial services industry
with the Cicero solution. The financial services industry is ideal for
Cicero because each entity has a large base of installed users that use
the same general groups of applications. Cicero, however, can be used in
any industry that has large contact centers, such as telecommunications
and insurance, and we hope to begin penetration into other markets as
the Cicero solution continues to develop.

. Develop Strategic Partnerships. The critical success factor for
customers implementing Customer Relationship Management solutions in
their contact centers is to have the right balance of technology and
service provision. We are implementing a tightly focused strategic
teaming approach with a selected group of well known consultancy firms
that specialize in financial services as well as eCRM integrated
solutions. Leveraging these organizations, who will provide such
integration services as architecture planning, technology integration
and business workflow improvement, allows us to focus on core
application system needs and how Cicero best addresses them, while our
partners will surround the technology with appropriate industry and
business knowledge.

. Leverage our In-House Expertise in the Cicero Software. Although Cicero
was developed internally by Merrill Lynch for use by approximately
30,000 professionals worldwide, we have added members of the Merrill
Lynch development team to our Cicero development team. We recruited and
hired Anthony Pizi, First Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of
Merrill Lynch's Private Client Technology's Architecture and Service
Quality Group, and the Cicero project director as our Chairman,

5


Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer as well as several
of the primary Cicero engineers from Merrill Lynch to support our
ongoing Cicero development efforts.

Products

Cicero

Our flagship product, Cicero, runs on Windows NT and Windows 2000 to
organize applications under a book-chapter-section metaphor that keeps all the
application functionality that the user needs within easy reach. For instance,
selecting the "memo" tab might cause a Microsoft Word memo-template to be
created within the Cicero desktop. The end-user need not even know that they
are using Microsoft Word. Moreover, a customer tracking database can be linked
with the customer relationship management software package. Virtually any
application that is used in the financial services industry can be integrated
under the Cicero book-chapter metaphor and be used in conjunction with other
contact center applications.

The patented Cicero technology, as licensed from Merrill Lynch consists of
several components: The Event Manager, a Component Object Model (COM)-based
messaging service; The Context Manager, which administers the "publish and
subscribe" protocols; The Shell Script Interpreter, which supports
communication with applications that do not support the required COM
interfaces; and The Resource Manager, which starts and shuts down applications
and ensures recovery from system errors. The system is an application bus with
underlying mechanisms to handle the inter-application connections.

Functionally, if an end-user opens an application that uses customer account
number data, Cicero can display all the other customer account number related
applications on his or her desktop, so he or she can move information back and
forth between the relevant applications within the Cicero shell. The company
can change information providers and applications with minimal disruption to
the end-user's ultimate functionality.

Beneath its independent user interface, Cicero provides plug in capabilities
for other aplications. All the applications can communicate with each through
their COM interface or scripting.

Cicero allows end-users to access the functionality of applications in the
most efficient way possible, by only allowing them to use the functional
purposes of that application. For instance, a contact center customer service
representative does not use 90% of the functionality of Microsoft Word, but
might need access to a memorandum and other custom designed forms as well as
basic editing functionality. Cicero can be set to control access to only those
templates and, in a sense, turn-off the unused functionality by not allowing
the end-user direct access to the underlying application. Under the same
Cicero implementation, however, a different Cicero configuration could allow
the employees in the marketing department full access to Word because they
have need of the full functionality. The functionality of the applications
that Cicero integrates can be modulated by the business goals of the ultimate
client, the parent company. This ability to limit user access to certain
functions within applications enables companies to reduce their training
burden by limiting the potions of the applications on which they are required
to train their customer service representatives.

Cicero is an ideal product for customer contact centers in the financial
services industry. We believe that Cicero, by combining ease of use, a shorter
learning curve and consistent presentation of information will allow the
financial services industry to leverage their exiting investments in Customer
Relationship Management or CRM applications and further increase customer
service, productivity, return on investment and decrease cost both per seat
and across the contact center.

Geneva Integration Suite

The Geneva Integration Suite has six core components which provide a suite
of integration software products for eBusiness integration. These components
include Geneva Enterprise Integrator (formerly Enterprise

6


Integration Template), Geneva Business Process Automator (formerly Business
Process Template), Geneva Integration Broker (formerly Geneva Integrator),
Geneva Message Queuing, Geneva AppBuilder (formerly Seer*HPS) and Geneva XIPC
(formerly XIPC).

Geneva Enterprise Integrator. Geneva Enterprise Integrator is an integration
tool that provides unified, real-time views of enterprise business information
for eBusiness applications. Real-time integration of back-end enterprise
business systems with Web-based applications is an essential component in
meeting rising customer expectations of eCommerce, Web-based customer service
and enterprise portal applications. Geneva Enterprise Integrator also
leverages a high performance, memory-based information cache to provide an
infrastructure that will support the performance demands of Internet-style
computing.

Geneva Business Process Automator. Geneva Business Process Automator is a
product designed to work with Geneva Enterprise Integrator for automating the
many business processes that an organization uses to run its operations.
Business process automation enables the automation of information workflows,
designed by business experts, and spanning front and back office systems.
Business process automation provides business analysts with a set of easy-to-
use tools for defining, changing and refining the exchange of information and
the workflow for a domain-specific business process.

Geneva Integration Broker. Geneva Integration Broker is a transport
independent message broker that enables an organization to rapidly integrate
diverse business systems regardless of platform, transport, format or
protocol. The key feature of Geneva Integration Broker is its support for XML
and other standards for open data exchange on the Internet. The product
provides a robust platform for building eBusiness applications that integrate
with existing back-office systems. Geneva Integration Broker's support for
open data exchange and secure Internet transports make it an excellent
platform for building Internet-based business-to-business solutions.

Geneva Message Queuing. Geneva Message Queuing is a reliable enterprise
connectivity product for Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications. The primary
use is for guaranteed, transactional, once and only once connectivity of
Windows-based Web applications to back-office information resources like
mainframes and other legacy systems. Microsoft's Web application platform,
called Windows DNA, is one of the dominant architectural models for building
eBusiness applications. Geneva Message Queuing provides native
interoperability essential for deploying Windows DNA applications in a
heterogeneous environment.

Geneva XIPC. Geneva XIPC (formerly XIPC) provides similar, guaranteed
delivery of information between applications. While Geneva Message Queuing is
based around a Microsoft standard, Geneva XIPC is for use with Linux and other
brands of UNIX servers. The UNIX/Linux family of servers, from companies like
Sun Microsystems, IBM and Hewlett Packard, are the dominant Web Server and Web
Application Server platforms. Geneva XIPC enables Linux and UNIX Web and
Applications Servers to communicate reliably.

Geneva AppBuilder. Geneva AppBuilder is a set of application engineering
tools that assists customers in developing, adapting and managing enterprise-
wide computer applications for the Internet/intranets and client/server
networks. The product is designed to enable users to define in a high level,
simplified language tasks and operations the users would like an application
to perform. Users can then simply "push a button" and Geneva AppBuilder
automatically generates the necessary software programming to perform the
tasks and operations defined. This significantly accelerates the development
and deployment of highly complex, large-scale, custom enterprise applications
and greatly enhances the productivity of programming resources.

Customers

Approximately 30,000 Merill Lynch personnel are currently using the Cicero
technology. We licensed the Cicero technology from Merrill Lynch during 2000
and intend to develop it to sell to the financial services industry. We are
currently marketing Cicero to a limited number of customers during the early
support phase of our product roll-out.

Our existing Geneva installed customer base includes major corporations
around the world such as Amdocs Software Systems Limited, Cirquit.com, Enron
Corporation, Spacenet Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, Paine Webber Inc., Siemens Power Transmission & Distribution,
Inc., Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Sunrider International, EDB 4tel AS,
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., WinStar Wireless, Inc. and United Healthcare Services,
Inc. Industries that are significantly represented in our customer base
include: financial services, insurance, retail, manufacturing,
telecommunications, transportation, and government. ABN AMRO was our only
customer accounting for more than 10% of 1998 operating revenues. No one
customer accounted for more than 10% of operating revenues in 1999. Merrill
Lynch and Winstar Wireless, Inc. individually accounted for more than 10% of
our operating revenues in 2000. Merrill Lynch holds approximately seven
percent (7%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock and has an employee
as a member on the Board of Directors.

Sales and Marketing

Sales

To reach our potential customer base, we are pursuing several distribution
channels, including a direct sales force, as well as third party relationships
with systems integrators and IT consulting firms.

Our direct sales force focuses on large customers and leverages our industry
experience to access target organizations within the financial services
vertical market. We believe the financial services market is a business area
to which our products are particularly well suited and that its members
possess the financial resources and

8


scale of operations necessary to support the engagement. When we achieve
substantial penetration into the financial services industry, we intend to
target additional industries in which our business area expertise and advanced
software technology can be applied.

An important element of our sales strategy is to expand our relationships
with third parties to increase market awareness and acceptance of our business
integration software solutions. As part of these relationships, we will
jointly sell and implement Cicero solutions. Level 8 will provide training and
other support necessary to the systems integrator to aid in the promotion of
our products.

Our current direct sales staff has substantial knowledge of our products and
service offerings as well as general experience in the software industry. If
we augment our direct sales force, we will recruit sales people with
equivalent general experience in the software industry and successful track
records in selling enterprise-class software products to the financial
services industry.

We are organized worldwide into two major geographic divisions for sales of
our software products: the Americas and Europe. One general manager heads each
of these sales divisions. We have three major sales offices in the United
States located in the key financial centers of New York, Chicago and San
Francisco augmented by satellite offices in strategic locations across the
United States. The international territories currently include the United
Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and France. The General Managers'
respective operations include sales and consulting services for new and
existing customers.

Approximately $44.6 million or 54% of our 2000 revenues were generated from
the United States and approximately 38 million or 46% was generated outside
the United States. The geographic distribution of our revenues may change in
the future.

Marketing

The target market for our products and services are large companies
providing financial services to a large existing customer base. Increasing
competitiveness and consolidation is driving companies in the financial
services industry to increase the efficiency and quality of their customer
contact centers. As a result, customer contact centers are compelled by both
economic necessity and internal mandates to find ways to increase internal
efficiency, increase customer satisfaction, increase effective cross-selling,
decrease staff turnover cost and leverage their investment in current
information technology.

Our marketing staff has an in-depth understanding of the financial services
customer contact center software marketplace and the needs of customers in
that marketplace, as well as experience in all of the key marketing
disciplines. The staff also has broad knowledge of our products and services
and how they can meet customer needs.

Marketing is headed by a vice president of worldwide marketing. Core
marketing functions including product marketing, marketing communications and
strategic alliances. Public relations, which include investor and industry
analysts, is handled by the corporate marketing staff and an outside firm.
Regional marketing programs are supported by corporate staff as well as by
marketing staff based in the Company's European headquarters in the UK, with
support from local marketing resources in the regional offices.

We utilize focused marketing programs that are intended to attract potential
customers in our target vertical and to promote Level 8 and our brands. We
will not use broad focused marketing programs such as seminars, advertising,
telemarketing, direct mail, tradeshows and webcasts. Instead we will use
programs specifically directed at our target market such as speaking
engagements, public relations campaigns, focused trade shows and web site
marketing, while devoting substantial resources to supporting the field sales
team with high quality sales tools and collateral. As product acceptance grows
and our target markets increase, we will shift to broader marketing programs.

9


The marketing department also produces collateral material for distribution
to prospects including demonstrations, presentation materials, white papers,
case studies, articles, brochures and data sheets. We also intend to implement
a high level strategic partnership program to educate and support our partners
with a variety of programs, incentives and support plans.

As part of our increased focus on the Cicero product line and the financial
services customer contact center market, we are significantly decreasing our
marketing costs while increasing our marketing focus. We intend to continue to
fine-tune our sales and marketing staff through continued training to meet our
revised needs. We have decreased the marketing and sales budget to conserve
financial resources and appropriately direct expenditures in line with our
revised business strategy.

Research and Product Development

In connection with the narrowing of our strategic focus, we anticipate an
overall reduction in research and development costs with the vast majority of
our research and development focusing on the enhancement and evolution of our
Cicero product line. In the past, our research and development expense was
attributable to our Geneva line of products and the integration of software
acquired in acquisitions and is not indicative of our future research and
development costs.

We had research and development expense of $8.9 million, $6.8 and $2.8
million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in 2000 was the
result of the addition of approximately thirty-five developers from the
acquisition of Template Software, Inc. ("Template"). The increase in 1999 is
primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Seer Technologies, Inc. ("Seer")
and our investments in new products, primarily version 2.0 of Geneva
Integration Broker, which was released in the second quarter of 1999 and
version 2.0 of Geneva Message Queuing, which was released in the fourth
quarter of 1999. We expect that research and development costs will decrease
as a result of our reduction in force, decreasing emphasis on the Geneva line
of products and a shift to the Cicero line of products.

The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing
technologies, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions
and short product life cycles. Our future success will depend to a substantial
degree upon our ability to enhance our existing products and to develop and
introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products and features
that meet changing customer requirements and emerging and evolving industry
standards.

Our budgets for research and development are based on planned product
introductions and enhancements. Actual expenditures, however, may
significantly differ from budgeted expenditures. Inherent in the product
development process are a number of risks. The development of new,
technologically advanced software products is a complex and uncertain process
requiring high levels of innovation, as well as the accurate anticipation of
technological and market trends.

The introduction of new or enhanced products also requires us to manage the
transition from older products in order to minimize disruption in customer
ordering patterns, as well as ensure that adequate supplies of new products
can be delivered to meet customer demand. There can be no assurance that we
will successfully develop, introduce or manage the transition to new products.

We have in the past, and may in the future, experience delays in the
introduction of our products, due to factors internal and external to our
business. Any future delays in the introduction or shipment of new or enhanced
products, the inability of such products to gain market acceptance or problems
associated with new product transitions could adversely affect our results of
operations, particularly on a quarterly basis.

Competition

The provision of custom contact center integration software includes a large
number of participants in various segments, is subject to rapid changes, and
is highly competitive. These markets are highly fragmented and served by
numerous firms, many of which address only specific contact center problems
and solutions.

10


Clients may elect to use their internal information systems resources to
satisfy their needs, rather than using those offered by Level 8.

The rapid growth and long-term potential of the market for business
integration solutions to the contact centers of the financial services
industry make it attractive to new competition. Many of our competitors have
greater name recognition, a larger installed customer base and greater
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we have.

Representative Competitors for Cicero

. Portal software offers the ability to aggregate information at a single
point, but not the ability to integrate transactions from a myriad of
information systems on the desktop. Plumtree is a representative company
in the Portal market.

Representative Competitors for Geneva

. In the Enterprise Application Integration market, primary competition
comes from NEON, WebMethods, Tibco, Mercator, and IBM.

. In the Business Process Automation market, primary competition comes
from Vitria and IBM.

. In the Application Engineering market, primary competition comes from
Computer Associates.

We believe that our ability to compete depends in part on a number of
competitive factors outside our control, including the ability of our
competitors to hire, retain and motivate senior project managers, the
ownership by competitors of software used by potential clients, the
development by others of software that is competitive with our products and
services, the price at which others offer comparable services and the extent
of our competitors' responsiveness to customer needs.

Intellectual Property

Our success is dependent upon developing, protecting and maintaining our
intellectual property assets. We rely upon combinations of copyright,
trademark and trade secrecy protections, along with contractual provisions, to
protect our intellectual property rights in software, documentation, data
models, methodologies, data processing systems and related written materials
in the international marketplace. In addition, we have patents with respect to
certain of our products and Merrill Lynch holds a patent with respect to the
Cicero technology. Copyright protection is generally available under United
States laws and international treaties for our software and printed materials.
The effectiveness of these various types of protection can be limited,
however, by variations in laws and enforcement procedures from country to
country. We use the trademarks "Level 8", "Level 8 Systems", "Level 8
Technologies", "Geneva", "Geneva Integration Suite", "Geneva Message Queuing",
"Geneva XIPC", "Geneva Integration Broker", "Geneva Enterprise Integrator",
"Geneva Business Process Automator", "Geneva AppBuilder", "SNAP" and
"MonitorMQ."

Cicero(R) is a registered trademark of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Incorporated.

All other product and company names mentioned herein are for identification
purposes only and are the property of, and may be trademarks of, their
respective owners.

There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken will prevent
misappropriation of our technology, and such protections do not preclude
competitors from developing products with functionality or features similar to
our products. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that third parties will
not independently develop competing technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to our technologies. Additionally, with

11


respect to the Cicero line of products, there can be no assurance that Merrill
Lynch will protect its patents or that we will have the resources to
successfully pursue infringers. Furthermore, our license to Cicero may become
non-exclusive in August, 2002. If we fail to or are unable to protect our
proprietary or licensed technologies, it could have a material adverse effect
on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Although we do not believe that our products infringe the proprietary rights
of any third parties, there can be no assurance that infringement claims will
not be asserted against us or our customers in the future. In addition, we may
be required to indemnify our distribution partners and end users for similar
claims made against them. Furthermore, we may initiate claims or litigation
against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to
establish the validity of our proprietary rights. Litigation, either as a
plaintiff or defendant, would cause us to incur substantial costs and divert
management resources from productive tasks whether or not said litigation is
resolved in our favor, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business operating results and financial condition.

As the number of software products in the industry increases and the
functionality of these products further overlaps, we believe that software
developers and licensors may become increasingly subject to infringement
claims. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming and
expensive to defend and could adversely affect our business, operating results
and financial condition.

Employees

During the first quarter of 2001, we significantly reduced our number of
employees to decrease operating costs and streamline the organization in
connection with our new focused strategy. As of March 26, 2001, we had a total
of 320 employees. Our continued success is dependent on our ability to attract
and retain qualified employees. Due to the competitiveness in the market for
employees, we may experience future difficulty in recruiting and retaining
staff.

We believe that to fully implement our business plan we will be required to
enhance our ability to work with the Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 2000
operating systems by adding additional development personnel. Although we
believe that we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified
employees to fill these positions, no assurance can be given that we will be
successful in attracting and retaining these employees now or in the future.

Our employees are not represented by a union or a collective bargaining
agreement.

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report may constitute "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 ("Reform Act"). We may also make forward looking statements
in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
materials delivered to shareholders, in press releases and in other public
statements. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral
forward looking statements. Forward looking statements provide current
expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any
statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact.
Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "estimates," "intends,"
"plans," "projects," and similar expressions, may identify such forward
looking statements. In accordance with the Reform Act, set forth below are
cautionary statements that accompany those forward looking statements. Readers
should carefully review these cautionary statements as they identify certain
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward looking statements and from historical trends. The
following cautionary statements are not exclusive and are in addition to other
factors discussed elsewhere in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and in materials incorporated therein by reference: our future
success depends on the market acceptance of the Cicero product and successful
execution of the new strategic direction; general economic or business
conditions may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other
things, lower than expected revenues; an unexpected revenue shortfall may
adversely affect our business because

12


our expenses are largely fixed; our quarterly operating results may vary
significantly because we are not able to accurately predict the amount and
timing of individual sales and this may adversely impact our stock price;
trends in sales of our products and general economic conditions may affect
investors' expectations regarding our financial performance and may adversely
affect our stock price; our future results may depend upon the continued
growth and business use of the Internet; we may lose market share and be
required to reduce prices as a result of competition from its existing
competitors, other vendors and information systems departments of customers;
we may not have the ability to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel;
our future results may depend upon the successful integration of future
acquisitions; we may not have the resources to successfully manage additional
growth; rapid technological change could render the Company's products
obsolete; loss of any one of our major customers could adversely affect our
business; our business is subject to a number of risks associated with doing
business abroad including the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations
on our results of operations; our products may contain undetected software
errors, which could adversely affect our business; because our technology is
complex, we may be exposed to liability claims; we may be unable to enforce or
defend its ownership and use of proprietary technology; our license to market
and sell the Cicero technology may become non-exclusive in August 2002;
because we are a technology company, our common stock may be subject to
erratic price fluctuations; and we may not have sufficient liquidity and
capital resources to meet changing business conditions.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

General Information

Level 8 Systems is a global provider of business integration software that
enables organizations to integrate new and existing information and processes
at the desktop. Business integration software addresses the emerging need for
a company's information systems to deliver enterprise-wide views of the
company's business information processes.

In addition to software products, Level 8 also provides technical support,
training and consulting services as part of its commitment to providing its
customers industry-leading integration solutions. Level 8's worldwide
consulting team has in-depth experience in developing successful enterprise-
class solutions as well as valuable insight into the business information
needs of customers in the Global 5000. Level 8 offers services around its
integration software products.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements relating to such
matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects,
technological developments, new products, research and development activities,
liquidity and capital resources and similar matters. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company
notes that a variety of factors could cause its actual results to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the
Company's forward-looking statements. See "Item 1. Business--Forward Looking
and Cautionary Statements."

Results Of Operations

The Company's results of operations include the operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries. Operations for the subsidiaries acquired during 2000,
1999, and 1998 are included from the date of acquisition. Accordingly, the
2000, 1999, and 1998 results of operations include the operations of StarQuest
Software, Inc. ("StarQuest"), Template Software Inc. ("Template"), Seer
Technologies, Inc. ("Seer") and Momentum Software Corporation ("Momentum")
since November 28, 2000, December 27, 1999, December 31, 1998, and March 26,
1998, respectively.

As a result of the Company's acquisition activity, the nature of its
operations has changed significantly from 1998 to 2000. In March 1998 the
Company acquired Momentum, primarily for its XIPC messaging product. The XIPC
product has been sold on a stand-alone basis as well as incorporated into the
Company's Geneva Message Queuing product, which was internally developed. The
acquisition of Seer in December 1998 provided the Seer*HPS application
engineering technology as well as significant international operations.
Seer*HPS was subsequently renamed Geneva AppBuilder. In early 1999, the
Company introduced its first Enterprise Application Integration ("EAI")
product, Geneva Integration Broker, which was developed internally. As the
Company moved more solidly into the EAI market, it acquired Template in
December 1999. The acquisition of Template primarily provided the Company its
Enterprise Integration Template and Business Process Template and additional
experienced services professionals trained on Template's products. These
products were subsequently renamed Geneva Enterprise Integrator and Geneva
Business Process Automator. The Company disposed of certain Template
consulting operations during early 2000, which were not related to its
products and determined to be non-strategic to the Company's future.

In August 2000, the Company acquired the rights to Cicero, a comprehensive
integrated desktop computer environment from Merrill Lynch in exchange for
1,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $22,750. The cost of the
technology acquired has been capitalized and amortized over a three year
period.

In November 2000, the Company acquired StarQuest. The total purchase price
of the acquisition was $10,138 and has been accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting. As a result of the acquisition of StarQuest, the Company
gained an additional product that would enhance its ability to provide
integration to Cisco platforms.


15


Due to the Company's acquisition and divestiture activities, year to year
comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful.
Additionally, as a result of the Company's pursuit of a growth strategy
focusing on its software product sales and synergies gained as a result of
eliminating duplicative functions, the results of operations are significantly
different than the result of combining the previous operations of each
acquired company into Level 8. Pro forma comparisons are therefore not
necessarily meaningful either. In general, the Company shifted its focus from
a reseller of MQ Series and related services in 1998 to selling multiple
integration products with a lesser focus on services in 2000. Revenue and
expenses have increased as a result of acquisitions and internal growth. The
Company is attempting to maximize synergies from its acquisitions wherever
possible.

The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, the Company's
results of continuing operations expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Years Ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998

Revenue and Gross Margin. The Company has three categories of revenue:
software products, maintenance, and services. Software product revenue is
comprised primarily of fees from licensing the Company's proprietary software
products. Maintenance revenue is comprised of fees for maintaining,
supporting, and providing periodic upgrades to the Company's software
products. Services revenue is comprised of fees for consulting and training
services related to the Company's software products.

The Company's revenues vary from quarter to quarter, with the largest
portion of revenue typically recognized in the last month of each quarter. The
Company believes that these patterns are attributable to the budgeting and
purchasing cycles of customers and the Company's sales commission policies,
which compensate sales personnel for meeting or exceeding quarterly quotas.
The Company typically does not have any material backlog of unfilled software
orders and product revenue in any quarter is substantially dependent upon
orders received in that quarter. Because the Company's operating expenses are
based on anticipated revenue levels and are relatively fixed over the short
term, variations in the timing of the recognition of revenue can cause
significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.
Fluctuations in operating results may result in volatility of the price of the
Company's common stock.

Total revenues increased 56% from 1999 to 2000 and increased 395% from 1998
to 1999. The increases in total revenue are primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of companies and technologies discussed above. The software
product category contributed most significantly to these increases. Gross
margins were 59%, 45% and 22% for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Software Products. Software product revenue increased 187% in 2000 in
comparison to 1999 and increased 933% in 1999 in comparison to 1998. The
increases in both years can be attributed to the Company's increased focus on
sales and marketing, which resulted in improved sales of its products,
including significant revenues related to the products acquired from Template
and Seer.

The gross margin on software products was 79%, 74%, and (33)%, for the
2000, 1999, and 1998 fiscal periods, respectively. The improvement in gross
margins from 1998 to 1999 and 1999 to 2000 were due to the significant
increases in software product revenue. Cost of software is composed primarily
of amortization of software product technology and royalties to third parties,
and to a lesser extent, production and distribution costs. The increases in
cost of software from 1998 through 2000 are primarily attributable to the
amortization of software product technology acquired through the acquisitions
discussed above.

Services. Services revenue decreased 6% from 1999 to 2000 and increased
172% from 1998 to 1999. Services gross margins were 10%, 12%, and 28% for
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Cost of services primarily includes
personnel and travel costs related to the delivery of services.

The increase in services revenue from 1998 to 1999 was primarily a result
of the acquisition of Seer's Geneva AppBuilder product. The decrease in
services revenue from 1999 to 2000 was attributable to the

17


Company's emphasis on software sales and the decline in services related to
its Geneva AppBuilder product. Services margins were relatively consistent for
1999 to 2000. Services margins declined from 1998 to 1999 because the Geneva
AppBuilder generated lower margins than the Company's historical offerings and
due to changes in the Company's focus.

Maintenance. Maintenance revenue increased only 7% from 1999 to 2000
compared with a 1,273% increase from 1998 to 1999. The relatively flat
increase for 1999 to 2000 is a result in a slight decline in the number of
customers purchasing maintenance for Geneva AppBuilder and Geneva XIPC, partly
offset by new maintenance revenue from Template's customers and new software
sales. The significant increase in maintenance revenue from 1998 to 1999 is
primarily due to the addition of Geneva AppBuilder to the Company's products,
which has historically had a significant revenue stream from maintenance.

Gross margins on maintenance were 64%, 64%, and 56%, for 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. Cost of maintenance is comprised of personnel costs and
related overhead, and in 1999 includes the cost of third-party contracts for
the maintenance and support of the Company's Geneva AppBuilder products. The
increase in gross margin for 1998 to 1999 is primarily due to the addition of
the Geneva AppBuilder and Geneva XIPC to the Company's products from which the
Company has created economies of scale in its support organization. The gross
margin on maintenance was consistent from 1999 to 2000.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses primarily include
personnel costs for salespeople, travel, and related overhead, as well as
analyst subscriptions, trade show participation, and other promotional
expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased threefold and fourfold from
1999 to 2000 and 1998 to 1999, respectively, due to an increase in the size of
the Company's sales force and marketing staff, both through acquisition and
recruiting. Additionally, the Company significantly increased its marketing
programs as part of its focus on increasing software product revenue from 1998
to 1999 and from 1999 to 2000.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses primarily
include personnel costs for product authors, product developers and product
documentation personnel. Research and development expense increased 30% and
145% from 1999 to 2000 and 1998 to 1999, respectively. The increases in 2000
were the result of the addition of approximately thirty-five developers from
the Template acquisition. The increases in 1998 and 1999 are a result of the
Company's investment in new internally developed and acquired products.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist of
personnel costs for the executive, legal, financial, human resources, and
administrative staff and related overhead and non-allocable corporate costs of
operating the Company. General and administrative expenses increased 86% from
1999 to 2000 and increased as a percentage of total revenue for the same
period. These increases are a result of professional fees and personnel costs
to support increased levels of business activities. Expenses increased 6% from
1998 to 1999 and decreased as a percentage of revenue for 1999 due to
synergies obtained through the integration of Seer and management's focus on
reducing general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Amortization of
intangible assets, primarily goodwill, was $14.2 million, $7 million, and $1.9
million for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, and relates to the
acquisitions discussed above as well as the Company's acquisition of Level 8
Technologies.

Purchased Research and Development. Based on the results of third-party
appraisals, the Company recorded charges in 1998 of $5.9 million to expense
purchased in-process research and development costs related to the
acquisitions of Momentum and Seer. In 1999, the Company recorded charges of
$2.9 million to expense purchased in-process research and development costs
related to the acquisitions of the remaining 31% of Seer, and Template. As
part of the StarQuest acquisition, the Company recorded a charge to expense
in-process research and development costs in the amount of $1.8 million in
2000.

For all in-process research and development charges recorded in 1998, 1999,
and 2000, it was determined that the acquired in-process research and
development had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no

18


alternative future uses. The value of the in-process projects was adjusted to
reflect the relative value and contribution of the acquired research and
development. In doing so, management gave consideration to the stage of
completion, the difficulty of completing the remaining development costs
already incurred, and the projected cost to complete the projects. The value
assigned to purchased in-process technology was based on key assumptions,
including revenue growth rates for each technology considering, among other
things, current and expected industry trends, acceptance of the technologies
and historical growth rates for similar industry products.

Other charges. As a result of the acquisitions of StarQuest, Template,
Momentum, and Seer, the Company has recorded several charges during the years
presented.

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company reorganized its existing
operations due to its acquisition of Template. The Company's restructuring
included a management change in its development and operations areas, the
abandonment of certain leased facilities, and the closure of its French
subsidiary. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $.55 million, which
consisted of approximately $.28 million in costs associated with improving
leased space to be subleased, approximately $.23 million in personnel-related
charges, and approximately $.04 million in professional fees to close its
French subsidiary.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company reorganized its existing
operations due to its acquisition of Seer. The restructuring included a staff
reduction in its development and administrative areas of 20% (15 employees),
the abandonment of certain leased facilities, and the write-down to fair value
of certain capitalized software costs for product lines which were being
discontinued. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately
$1.54 million, which consisted of approximately $.71 million in personnel-
related charges, approximately $.29 million in costs associated with carrying
vacated space until the lease expiration date, approximately $.19 million of
property and equipment related charges, approximately $.24 million in write-
down of capitalized software costs, approximately $.1 million in professional
fees related to the restructuring, and approximately $.01 million for other
charges.

At December 31, 1999, the Company revised its estimate of the 1998
restructuring charge by reducing it by $.16 million based on a review of the
costs paid through December 31, 1999 and the remaining estimated costs. The
change in estimate is reflected in the 1999 Consolidated Statement of
Operations as a reduction of the restructuring charge for 1999.

The Company believes the accrued restructuring cost of $.21 million at
December 31, 2000 represents its remaining cash obligations for the
restructuring charges included above.

In 1998, as a consequence of the Company's transition to an enterprise
application integration solutions provider, the Company abandoned certain
planned development efforts for products acquired in the Momentum transaction
and reassessed the remaining undiscounted projected cash flows related to the
identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets acquired from Momentum. It
was concluded that, with the principal exception of the Momentum technology
utilized in the Level 8's product suite and the Geneva XIPC products, the
goodwill and intangibles acquired in the Momentum transaction should be
written off. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company
adjusted the carrying value of its identifiable and unidentifiable assets to
their fair value of $32.2 million, resulting in a non-cash impairment loss of
$4.6 million.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective income tax rate for
continuing operations differs from the statutory rate primarily because an
income tax benefit was not recorded for the net losses incurred during 2000,
1999 and 1998. Because of the Company's inconsistent earnings history, the
deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The
income tax provision for 2000 and 1999 is primarily related to income taxes
from profitable foreign operations and foreign withholding taxes.

Discontinued Operations. The loss on disposal of ProfitKey International
("ProfitKey") during 1998 was approximately $1.2 million. The loss on
discontinued operations related to ProfitKey was $.14 million for 1998.


19


Impact Of Inflation. Inflation has not had a significant effect on the
Company's operating results during the periods presented.

Forward Looking Assessment

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, after extensive strategic consultation
with outside advisors and an internal analysis of the Company's products and
services, the Company decided on a strategic initiative that would allow it to
focus on the financial services industry and a new Cicero product line based
on technology licensed from Merrill Lynch. The Company intends to provide the
financial services industry with a comprehensive desktop application that can
seamlessly integrate the diverse productivity applications used in customer
relationship management.

As a part of this strategic initiative, the Company restructured its
domestic and international operations. This restructuring included an
approximate 35% reduction in personnel. The reductions were made in all
operational areas of the Company. The Company also intends to consolidate some
of its leased facilities as part of this restructuring and dispose of certain
assets.

Revenue and Gross Margin. Overall, the Company expects total revenue in
2001 to be less than total revenue in 2000, due to reductions in both software
product and services revenue. Gross margin is projected to decrease as well.

Software Products. Product revenue is expected to decrease significantly
from 2000. As a percentage of total revenue, it is anticipated to be
comparable to 2000. During 2001, the Company's focus will be on delivering
Cicero to the market and then gaining market acceptance. The Company expects
that during 2001, software product revenue will be primarily comprised of
sales of Cicero. The gross margin for software is expected to decline as there
will be an increase in the amortization of capitalized software related to the
acquisition of the Cicero technology and StarQuest.

Services. Revenue related to services is projected to decline significantly
as the company continues to focus its efforts on software sales. Along with
the decrease in revenue, cost of services is also expected to decline. The
Company expects to see an increase in services margins during 2001 as the
anticipated margins for Cicero related services are higher than services
related to the Company's historical products.

Maintenance. Maintenance revenue is projected to be in line with that of
2000, however, as a percentage of total revenue, it is projected to increase.
The gross margin for maintenance is expected to be comparable to that for
2000.

Sales and Marketing. The Company expects sales and marketing expenses to
significantly decrease as part of the Company's overall reorganization and
focus on the Cicero product. The Cicero product is scheduled to be formally
launched in the third quarter of 2001.

Research and Development. Management expects to see a decrease in research
and development expenses as the Company's focus will be on the Cicero product
with decreasing amounts spent on development of the more mature products.

General and Administrative. Management expects to see a decrease in general
and administrative expenses going forward consistent with the size of the
Company's restructured operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating and Investing Activities

Net cash used in operations and investing activities during 2000 was $14.6
million. Net cash used in operating activities, excluding payments for any
acquisition-related or restructuring activities, was approximately $3.0
million. Ongoing investing activities such as purchases of property and
equipment and additions to capitalized software costs required cash outlays of
$2.0 million and $.7 million, respectively. Other components

20


of the net cash outflow included $4.4 million for merger and restructuring
costs, primarily related to the acquisitions of StarQuest and Template, and
$4.0 million in purchases of available for sale securities. As of December 31,
2000, the Company did not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures.

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company made a $4.0 million equity
investment in a publicly traded e-business service provider by purchasing
500,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share, representing approximately
seven percent of the common stock outstanding. In addition, the Company
received warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock with an
exercise price of $13.00 per share. At December 31, 2000, the fair value of
the stock and warrants was approximately $.6 million.

Net cash used in operations and investing activities during 1999 was $39.8
million. Net payments of approximately $4.5 million for merger and
restructuring costs, primarily related to the acquisition of Template and
Seer, $25.3 million for payments of businesses acquired, $.4 million for
purchases of property and equipment, $1.4 million for additions to capitalized
software development costs in addition to the net cash used by operations were
primary components of the net cash outflow.

During 1998, cash provided by operations was $1.7 million. Investing
outflows for equipment purchases totaled $.9 million and additions to
capitalized software development costs totaled $1.2 million.

Financing Activities

The Company funded its cash needs during the year ended December 31, 2000
with cash on hand at December 31, 1999, through operations, and through
proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred stock.

On July 20, 2000, the Company issued 30,000 shares of Series B 4%
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"),
convertible into an aggregate of 1,197,007 shares of the Company's common
stock. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive 4%
annual cash dividends payable quarterly and will have one vote per share of
Series B Preferred Stock, voting together with the common stock and not as a
separate class except on certain matters adversely affecting the rights of
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock may be
redeemed at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to the
original purchase price at any time after July 20, 2001 if the closing price
of the Company's common stock over 20 consecutive trading days is greater than
$50.125 per share. The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock is
subject to certain anti-dilution provisions, including adjustments in the
event of certain sales of common stock at a price of less than $25.0625 per
share. In the event the Company breaches its obligations to pay dividends when
due or issue common stock upon conversion, or the Company's common stock is
delisted, the dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock would increase to
18% per annum (partially payable in shares of common stock at the option of
the Company during the first 60 days of such increased dividend rate). As part
of the $30 million financing, the Company also issued the investors warrants
to purchase 1,047,382 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $25.0625
per share. The Company has registered the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants for
resale under the Securities Act. The Company is required to make certain
payments in the event it is unable to meet its obligations in connection with
the Series B Preferred Stock and warrants, such as registration under the
Securities Act or issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion or
exercise. The aggregate amount of all such payments, together with dividends
on the Series B Preferred Stock, is limited to 19% of the liquidation value of
the Series B Preferred Stock. Investors in the Series B Preferred Stock and
warrants include investment funds affiliated with Brown Simpson Asset
Management and Seneca Capital Management.

The Company also received $8.9 million in proceeds during 2000 from the
exercise of various stock options and warrants that were outstanding.

During 2000, the Company restructured its debt obligations by paying down
borrowings totaling $20.9 million under a credit facility with a commercial
lender, paying down all of its outstanding borrowings from its principal
shareholder totaling $4.5 million, and paying off certain notes payable or
converting them to

21


common stock. Additionally, the Company increased its borrowings under a term
loan by $5 million and borrowed $10 million under a new credit facility with a
commercial bank.

During January 2000, the Company offered to exchange the notes held by
former Momentum shareholders for shares of the Company's common stock at a per
share price based on the average market price for a set period prior to the
acceptance by such noteholder. The Company converted $1,904 of the Momentum
notes to approximately 55,000 shares of the Company's common stock in
February, 2000 as a result of this exchange offer. During August, 2000 the
Company paid off the remaining balances due under these notes.

On December 15, 2000 the Company entered into a credit facility with a
commercial bank to provide for borrowings up to the lesser of $10,000 or the
sum of 50% of eligible receivables plus cash pledged with this commercial
bank. Advances under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.5%
(approximately 8.1% at December 31, 2000), which is payable quarterly. The
facility also requires an annual fee of .5% of the commitment amount and
expires on December 31, 2002. Total borrowings under this facility were
$10,000 at December 31, 2000 and were based upon a $10,000 pledge of cash
deposited in the bank. Borrowings under this facility are subject to the
Company meeting certain financial covenants, which include stockholders'
equity exceeding 23% of total assets and the current ratio exceeding .85. This
facility is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable, equipment and
intangibles including intellectual property. The Company is currently in
compliance with all financial covenants. In connection with this facility, the
Company provided warrants to the lender to purchase approximately 173,000
shares of the Company's common stock. The value of the warrants was calculated
as $775 using the Black Scholes option pricing model and is being amortized as
a component of interest expense over the term of the loan.

At December 31, 2000, the Company has a term loan with a commercial bank
for $15,000. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1% (approximately 7.6% at
December 31, 2000), which is payable quarterly. There are no financial
covenants. This loan is guaranteed by Liraz, Level 8's principal shareholder.
The original loan amount of $10,000 was used to partially fund the purchase of
Template. During 2000, the loan and guarantee were amended to extend the due
date from May 31, 2001 to November 30, 2001 and to provide the Company with an
additional $5,000 in borrowings. In exchange for the initial and amended
guarantees, the Company issued Liraz a total of 170,000 shares of the
Company's common stock. Based upon the fair market value of the stock issued,
the Company has recorded total deferred costs of $4,013 related to the
guaranty. These costs are being amortized in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations as a component of interest expense over the term of the guaranty.
Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the loan was amended to extend the due date
to January 30, 2002.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Company incurred a net loss of
$28.4 million and has working capital of $28.3 million and an accumulated
deficit of $75.3 million. The Company believes that existing cash on hand and
cash provided by future operations will be sufficient to finance its
operations and expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements
for at least the next twelve months so long as the Company continues to
perform according to its operating plan. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to continue to meet its cash requirements
through operations or, if needed, obtain additional financing on acceptable
terms, and the failure to do so may have an adverse impact on the Company's
business and operations. The Company may also explore additional debt or
equity financing to expand its operations and take advantage of market
opportunities.

Euro Conversion

Several European countries adopted a Single European Currency (the "Euro")
as of January 1, 1999 with a transition period continuing through January 1,
2002. The Company is reviewing the anticipated impact the Euro may have on its
internal systems and on its competitive environment. The Company believes its
internal systems will be Euro capable without material modification cost.

Further, the Company does not presently expect the introduction of the Euro
currency to have material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition,
cash flows, or results of operations.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Approximately 46% of the Company's 2000 revenues were generated by sales
outside the United States. The Company is exposed to significant risks of
foreign currency fluctuation primarily from receivables denominated in foreign
currency and is subject to transaction gains and losses, which are recorded as
a component in determining net income. Additionally, the assets and
liabilities of the Company's non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S.
dollars at exchange rates in effect as of the applicable balance sheet dates,
and revenue and expense accounts of these operations are translated at average
exchange rates during the month the transactions occur. Unrealized translation
gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income or loss in shareholders' equity.

In an effort to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations on its foreign
currency receivables, the Company began hedging these receivables by
purchasing forward contracts during 1999. However, as a matter of procedure,
the Company will not invest in speculative financial instruments as a means of
hedging against such risk. The Company's accounting policies for these
contracts are based on the Company's designation of the contracts as hedging
transactions. The criteria the Company uses for designating a contract as a
hedge include the contract's effectiveness in risk reduction and one-to-one
matching of derivative instruments to underlying transactions. Gains and
losses on forward foreign exchange contracts are recognized in income in the
same period as gains and losses on the underlying transactions. If an
underlying hedged transaction is terminated earlier than initially
anticipated, the offsetting gain or loss on the related forward exchange
contract will be recognized in income in the same period. In addition, since
the Company enters into forward contracts only as a hedge, any change in
currency rates would not result in any material net gain or loss, as any gain
or loss on the underlying foreign currency denominated balance would be offset
by the gain or loss on the forward contract. Information regarding the
Company's foreign currency forward exchange contracts is set forth in Note 16
of Item 14(a)(1) of this Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8. Financial Statements And Supplementary Data.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure

On July 11, 2000, Level 8 appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as its
independent auditors. On July 10, 2000, Level 8 dismissed
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as its independent auditors. The decision to change
independent auditors was recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors and approved by the Board of Directors. During the two most recent
fiscal years, neither of the Company's independent accountant's reports on the
Company's financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. In connection with its audits for the two most recent
fiscal years and any subsequent interim period, there have been no
disagreements with the Company's independent auditors on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

----------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Level 8 Systems, Inc.
Cary, North Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Level 8
Systems, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows and comprehensive loss for the year then ended . These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

(dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Level 8 Systems, Inc. ("Level 8" or the "Company") is a global provider of
business integration software that enables organizations to integrate new and
existing information and processes at the desktop. Business integration
software addresses the emerging need for a company's information systems to
deliver enterprise-wide views of the company's business information processes.

Liraz Systems, Ltd. ("Liraz") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries own
approximately 31% of Level 8's outstanding common stock at December 31, 2000
and hold preferred stock convertible into an additional one million shares of
common stock.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. See Notes 2 and 3 regarding the acquisitions and
sales of subsidiaries. All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned for
the periods presented, except for Seer Technologies, Inc. ("Seer"). The
Company acquired a 69% interest in Seer on December 31, 1998 and the remaining
31% interest on April 30, 1999.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from
these estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The
resulting translation adjustment is recorded in other comprehensive income as
a component of stockholders' equity. Statements of operations items are
translated at average rates of exchange during each reporting period.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on
transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, are
included in the results of operations as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.
For these instruments, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable
estimate of fair value. The Company places substantially all cash and cash
equivalents with various financial institutions in both the United States and
several foreign countries. At times, such cash and cash equivalents in the
United States may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company has made an equity investment in a publicly traded company. This
investment is recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value. A valuation
is made to adjust this investment to fair market value and is recorded as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 5.

F-12


LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment purchased in the normal course of business is stated at
cost, and property and equipment acquired in business combinations is stated
at its fair market value at the acquisition date. All property and equipment
is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets as follows:



Leasehold improvements........................ The lesser of the lease term
or estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures........................ 3 to 5 years
Office equipment.............................. 3 to 5 years
Computer equipment............................ 3 to 5 years


Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment are
removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any
resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

Asset held for resale

The Company acquired a building in conjunction with its acquisition of
Template in Windsor, England. As the Company determined this asset was not
needed for its ongoing operations it was placed for sale during 2000. The
asset is valued at the lower of cost or fair market value less costs of
disposal as of December 31, 2000. The building was sold in February of 2001.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes certain software costs after technological feasibility
of the product has been established. Generally, an original estimated economic
life of three years is assigned to capitalized software costs, once the
product is available for general release to customers. Costs incurred prior to
the establishment of technological feasibility are charged to research and
development expense.

Additionally, the Company has recorded software development costs for its
purchases of developed technology through acquisitions. See Notes 2 and 9.

Capitalized software costs are amortized over related sales on a product-by-
product basis at the greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio of
current gross revenues for a product to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues or (b) the straight-line method over the remaining
estimated economic life of the product. See Note 9.

The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of
recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires considerable
judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including,
but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross
revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware
technologies.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consists of both identifiable and unidentifiable assets
(goodwill) and is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods from three
to seven years. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of
intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the balance over
its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash
flows of the related operations. See Note 10.

Investment in Access International

The Company holds an investment in the common stock of Access International, a
privately held company. The Company accounts for this investment on a cost
basis and assess any impairment of its value on a quarterly basis. See Note 8.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses whether its identifiable assets are impaired as required
by SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, based on an evaluation of undiscounted
projected cash flows through the remaining amortization period. If impairment
exists, the amount of such impairment is calculated based on the estimated
fair value of the asset determined based upon anticipated cash flows
discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes license revenue in accordance with Statement of
Position 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition" ("SOP 97-2"), as amended by
Statement of Position 98-9, "Modification of SOP 97-2, 'Software Revenue
Recognition,' with Respect to Certain Transactions" ("SOP 98-9"). SOP 97-2 and
SOP 98-9 require that an entity recognize revenue for multiple element
arrangements by means of the "residual method" when (1) there is vendor-
specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of the fair values of all of the
undelivered elements that are not accounted for by means of long-term contract
accounting, (2) VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or more of the
delivered elements, and (3) all revenue recognition criteria of SOP 97-2
(other than the requirement for VSOE of the fair value of each delivered
element) are satisfied.

Revenue from recurring maintenance contracts is recognized ratably over the
maintenance contract period, which is typically twelve months. Maintenance
revenue that is not yet earned is included in deferred revenue.

Revenue from consulting and training services is recognized as services are
performed. Any unearned receipts from service contracts result in deferred
revenue.

Cost of Revenue

The primary components of the Company's cost of revenue for its software
products are software amortization on internally developed and acquired
technology, royalties on certain products, and packaging and distribution
costs. The primary component of the Company's cost of revenue for maintenance
and services is compensation expense.

Advertising Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were
approximately $3,494, $108, and $770, for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively.

Research and Product Development

Research and product development costs are expensed as incurred.

Acquired In-process Research and Development

The fair value of acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D")
projects acquired in business combinations is expensed immediately. The amount
of purchase price allocated to IPR&D is determined based

F-14


LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

on appraisals, using appropriate valuation techniques, including percentage-
of-completion which utilizes the key milestones to estimate the stage of
development of each project at the date of acquisition, estimating cash flows
resulting from the expected revenue generated from such projects, and
discounting the net cash flows back to their present value. The discount rate
includes a factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding the
successful development of the purchased in-process technology. At the
respective dates of acquisition, the IPR&D projects had not yet reached
technological feasibility and did not have alternative future uses. As
discussed in Note 2, material risks existed with each IPR&D project; however,
management expects that such projects will be completed.

Income Taxes

The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" to account for income taxes. This statement
requires an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In
estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than
enactments of changes in the tax law or rates are generally considered. A
valuation allowance is recorded when it is "more likely than not" that
recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 12.

Loss Per Share

Basic (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any
potentially dilutive securities. During 2000 and 1999, potentially dilutive
securities included stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and
preferred stock. Potentially dilutive securities outstanding during 1998
include stock options and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company.

The following table sets forth the potential shares that are not included in
the diluted net loss per share calculation because to do so would be anti-
dilutive for the periods presented:



2000 1999 1998

In 2000 and 1999, dividends on preferred stock were included in the loss per
share calculation. The dividends totaled $1,036 and $422 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Accounting Change

In January 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus
on EITF 00-27 " Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial
Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the determination of
beneficial conversion features in convertible securities. The EITF reached a
consensus that an issuer should first allocate the proceeds received in a
financing transaction that includes preferred stock convertible into common
stock to the preferred stock and any other detachable warrants on a relative
fair value basis. The Company has applied the provisions of EITF 00-27 which
resulted in a beneficial conversion feature of the Company's Series A and
Series B preferred stock of $4,785. As required by EITF 00-27 the beneficial
conversion feature was reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in
accounting of $4,785 or $.34 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2000.

F-15


LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 and has applied
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations for its stock option plans. See Note 13.

Derivative Financial Instruments

During 1999, the Company began using foreign currency forward exchange
contracts ("forward contracts") to manage exposure related to accounts
receivable denominated in foreign currencies. These contracts have a high
correlation to the rate movement of the foreign currency receivables being
hedged. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes.

All outstanding forward contracts at the end of the period are marked-to-
market, with unrealized gains and losses included in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet and as a component of other income (expense), net in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations. Cash flows related to forward exchange contracts are
classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the same categories
as the hedged assets or liabilities. The costs of the forward contracts are
recorded as expense over the lives of the contracts. See Note 16.

Government Contracts

As a result of the acquisition of Template in December of 1999, the Company
acquired various contracts to provide certain technical services to federal
government agencies, some of which were classified. During the second quarter
of 2000, the Company disposed of its classified government contract
operations, which were not related to the Company's products and that is no
longer part of the Company's ongoing operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. Such reclassifications had
no effect on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June
2000, further guidance related to accounting for derivative instruments and
hedging activities was provided when the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities--an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard, as amended, requires
companies to record all derivatives on the balance sheet as either assets or
liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value. The manner in which
companies are to record gains or losses resulting from changes in the values
of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it
qualifies for hedge accounting. As amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133, this standard is effective for the Company's
financial statements beginning January 1, 2001, with early adoption permitted.
These statements are effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The financial impact of these statements had no
material impact on the Company.

In September 2000, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 00-19 "Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a
Company's Own Stock" which provides specific guidance on the treatment of
derivatives of a company's stock. The Company has applied the provisions of
EITF 00-19

F-16


LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

for the year ended December 31, 2000 and there is no financial statement
impact. Upon implementation of additional provisions of EITF 00-19 as of June
30, 2001, the Company expects to reclarify the original fair value of the
warrants issued with the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock of $4,785 from
stockholders' equity to liabilities and record a change in accounting impact
on the statement of operations to adjust the warrants to fair value.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Acquisition of StarQuest

On November 28, 2000, the Company acquired StarQuest Software, Inc.
("StarQuest"). Under the terms of the agreement, Level 8 paid $850 in cash and
issued 500,000 shares of common stock valued at $17.2752 and 250,000 warrants
valued at $6.00 per share. The total purchase price of the acquisition was
$11,638 and has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The
operations of StarQuest are included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations from the date of acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on the Company's estimates of fair value at the acquisition
date. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on a
valuation prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company of the
purchased in-process research and development, developed technology, and
assembled workforce of StarQuest. The purchase price exceeded the amounts
allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less
liabilities assumed by approximately $8,006. This excess of the purchase price
over the fair values of assets acquired less liabilities assumed was allocated
to goodwill.

The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated as follows:



Cash............................................................... $ 15
Accounts receivable................................................ 54
Prepaid expenses and other current assets.......................... 52
Property and equipment............................................. 45
Capitalized software and developed technology...................... 6,600
In-process research and development................................ 1,800
Goodwill and other intangibles..................................... 9,806
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities........................... (1,789)
Debt............................................................... (4,475)
Deferred Revenue................................................... (470)
--------
Cost of net assets acquired........................................ $ 11,638
========


Approximately $1,800 of the purchase price represents purchased in-process
research and development that had not yet reached technological feasibility
and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately
expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations upon consummation of the
acquisition. The value assigned to in-process research and development, based
on a valuation prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company, was
determined by identifying research projects in areas for which technological
feasibility had not been established. The efforts considered included projects
related to StarQuest's StarSQL product ($1,200), projects related to
StarQuest's CTRC product ($400), and projects related to StarQuest's StarTran
product ($200). The value of the in-process projects was adjusted to reflect
the relative value and contributions of the required research and development.
In doing so, consideration was given to the stage of completion, the
difficulty of completing the remaining development costs already incurred, and
the projected cost to complete the projects. The discount rate included a
factor that takes into account the uncertainty surrounding successful
development of the purchased in-process research and development.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company retired $2,175 of StarQuest's
debt obligations by issuing the debtholders approximately 243,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.

LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


The purchases price allocations for certain of the 2000 acquisitions are
preliminary estimates, based on available information, internal estimates and
certain assumptions management believes are reasonable. Accordingly, the
purchase price allocations are subject to finalization pending the completion
of internal and external appraisals of assets acquired.

Acquisition of Template

On December 27, 1999, the Company acquired Template Software, Inc.
("Template"). Under the terms of the agreement, Level 8 purchased 5,394,959
shares of Template common stock for $21,579 in cash and 1,531,089 shares of
Level 8 common stock. Additionally, Level 8 also issued stock options
exercisable for 1,124,023 shares of the Company's common stock to assume all
of the outstanding Template stock options. The total purchase price of the
acquisition was $63,972 and has been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. The operations of Template are included in the Company's
consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on the Company's estimates of fair value at the acquisition
date. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on a
valuation prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company of the
purchased in-process research and development, developed technology, and
assembled workforce of Template. The purchase price exceeded the amounts
allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less
liabilities assumed by approximately $44,371. This excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed was
allocated to goodwill.

Prior to completing the acquisition, the Company had determined not to
continue with certain non-strategic operations of Template in Germany and
Austria. These operations were primarily reselling third party software and
providing related consulting services. At the time of merger, the Company had
entered into an agreement in principle to sell the assets of the German
operations, which consist principally of its consulting workforce and certain
lease agreements. The Austrian operations were closed down in 2000.
Accordingly, the Company has recorded the estimated fair value of these
operations at the acquisition date based on its estimate of the net future
cash flows from the transactions and associated operations through the wind up
period. The fair value of the German and Austrian operating liability was
estimated as $25 at the acquisition date.

The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated as follows:

Approximately $2,200 of the purchase price represents purchased in-process
research and development that had not yet reached technological feasibility
and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, this amount was immediately
expensed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations upon consummation of the
acquisition. The value assigned to in-process research and development, based
on a valuation prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company, was
determined by identifying research projects in areas for which technological
feasibility had not been established. The efforts considered included projects
related to Template's Enterprise Integration Template ("EIT") product
($1,298), and projects related to new versions of Template's Business Process
Template ("BPT") product ($902). The value of the in-process projects was
adjusted to reflect the relative value and contributions of the required
research and development. In doing so, consideration was given to the stage of
completion, the difficulty of completing the remaining development costs
already incurred, and the projected cost to complete the projects. The
discount rate included a factor that takes into account the uncertainty
surrounding successful development of the purchased in-process research and
development.

Acquisition of Seer Technologies, Inc.

On December 31, 1998, the Company, as the first step in its acquisition of the
entire equity interest in Seer, acquired beneficial ownership of approximately
69% of the outstanding voting stock of Seer, which was held by Welsh, Carson,
Anderson and Stowe VI L.P. ("WCAS") and certain other parties affiliated or
associated with WCAS ("WCAS Parties") in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the
Company common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of
the Company common stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per share ("Step 1").
On April 15, 1999, the Company acquired the remaining minority interest in
Seer, for $0.35 in cash per share of the outstanding common stock of Seer
("Step 2"). As a result of Step 2 of the acquisition, Seer became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Company. The total cost of the acquisition was $7,754
for Step 1 and $1,697 for Step 2 and has been accounted for by the purchase
method of accounting. The net book value of Seer's liabilities exceeded its
assets on the acquisition dates; therefore, no minority interest in Seer was
recorded. Step 1 of the acquisition occurred on December 31, 1998; therefore,
there are no operations of Seer included in the Company's consolidated results
of operations for 1998.

The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on the Company's estimates of fair value at the acquisition
date. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on
valuations prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company of the
purchased in-process research and development, developed technology, installed
customer base, assembled workforce, and trademarks of Seer at the completion
of Step 1. The purchase price exceeded the amounts allocated to tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed by
approximately $18,684 in Step 1. For Step 2, the fair value assigned to
intangible assets acquired was based on a valuation of the purchased in-
process research and development, developed technology, installed customer
base, and assembled workforce of Seer. The Step 2 purchase price was less than
the amounts allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired by
approximately $1,307. This difference between the purchase price and the fair
values of assets acquired less liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

Approximately $4,692 for Step 1 and $744 for Step 2, of the purchase price
represents purchased in-process research and development that had not yet
reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use.
Accordingly, this amount was immediately expensed in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations upon consummation of the acquisition. The value
assigned to in-process research and development, based on a valuation prepared
by an independent third-party appraisal company, was determined by identifying
research projects in areas for which technological feasibility had not been
established. For Step 1, this included Java based projects ($3,105) and
application warehousing projects ($1,587). For Step 2, the amount was related
to Java based projects only, as there was no change in the status of the
application warehouse projects. The value of the in-process projects was
adjusted to reflect the relative value and contributions of the required
research and development. In doing so, consideration was given to the stage of
completion, the complexity of the work completed to date, the difficulty of
completing the remaining development costs already incurred, and the projected
cost to complete the projects. The discount rate included a factor that takes
into account the uncertainty surrounding successful development of the
purchased in-process research and development.

In connection with the Company's purchase of Seer's capital stock from the
WCAS Parties, WCAS contributed approximately $17 million to Seer and the
Company provided a $12 million subordinated loan to Seer to pay down Seer's
bank debt. The funds used by the Company to make the subordinated loan to Seer
were borrowed from Liraz Systems Ltd. ("Liraz"), a principal stockholder of
the Company. See Note 11.

Acquisition of Momentum

On March 26, 1998, the Company acquired Momentum Software Corporation
("Momentum"). Under the agreement, Level 8 issued 594,866 shares of common
stock and warrants to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of
$13.108 per share. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company issued a
$3,000 note as additional consideration as provided in the purchase agreement.
The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $10,717. The acquisition
was recorded utilizing purchase accounting. As a result of the acquisition of
Momentum, the Company incurred a one-time charge to earnings of approximately
$1,200 related to the estimated value of the purchase of in-process research
and development costs. The remaining amount was allocated to other
intangibles, goodwill and software development costs. The results of
operations of Momentum are included in the financial statements since the date
of acquisition.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER DISPOSITIONS

Sale of ProfitKey

From October 3, 1994 through the first quarter of 1998, the Company's
operations included the operations of ProfitKey. ProfitKey offered turnkey
manufacturing resource planning and scheduling software packages, and related
installation, training and support services for use by manufacturing
businesses.

On April 6, 1998, the Company sold substantially all assets and operations of
ProfitKey for $464 at closing and a note receivable from the purchaser of
$2,000. The note is due in four annual installments from March 31, 2000 to
March 31, 2003 and bears interest at 9%. According to the terms of the
ProfitKey purchase agreement, the purchase price was subject to adjustment to
reflect any variance in working capital from a specified amount. The purchaser
notified the Company that it believes there were substantial adjustments which
would require a reduction in the purchase price. The Company and the
purchaser, pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, entered into
arbitration proceedings to resolve this matter and a decision from the
arbitrator, substantially in favor of the Company, was rendered in the third
quarter of 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the three remaining annual payments
totaled $1,500.

The disposition of ProfitKey was accounted for as a discontinued operation.
For 1998, discontinued operations of ProfitKey includes ProfitKey's results of
operations through the date of sale which were as follows:



1998

Net sales........................................................... $1,156
Loss from operations before tax..................................... (225)
Income tax benefit.................................................. (90)
Loss from discontinued operations................................... $ (135)


Sale of Government Operations

In connection with the acquisition of Template, the Company acquired certain
classified government contracts and employees who performed services for such.
As of May 1, 2000 the Company disposed of its government contracts and
employees and certain other related assets and obligations by selling them to
a new company formed by certain of the Company's employees. The Company
received a note for $1,000 to be paid in five annual payments beginning May 1,
2001 and 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the purchasing company. Due to the
uncertainty of collection on the note and valuation of the new company, Level
8 fully reserved the value of the note and valued the investment at $0. The
sale of the government operations was not accounted for as a discontinued
operation. Subsequent to December 31, 2000 the Company renegotiated the note
to $850 and collected this amount.

Asset Held for Resale

The Company owns a building in Windsor, England from the acquisition of
Template Software, Inc. The Company determined that this facility was not
needed for ongoing operations and was placed for sale. Subsequent to December
31, 2000 the Company sold the building, fixtures, and certain equipment for
approximately $2,350.

Lynch in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company's
exclusive license to market, develop and sell the Cicero technology will
expire on August 23, 2002 unless our stock price exceeds a split adjusted $120
for a 60 day trading period. Although we will maintain the license to the
Cicero technology following the expiration of the exclusivity period, Merrill
Lynch will be permitted to license the technology to others. The purchased
technology was valued at $22,750 based upon the
five day average closing share price of the Company's common stock two days
prior through two days post the announcement date of the transaction and

NOTE 10. IDENTIFIABLE AND UNIDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets primarily include goodwill,
existing customer base, assembled workforce and trademarks recorded in
connection with the Company's previous acquisitions. Goodwill and intangible
assets from these acquisitions are being amortized using the straight-line

Amortization expense was $14,191, $6,959 and $1,933 for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

During fiscal year 2000, the Company reassessed its estimates of certain asset
valuations, merger costs and assumed liabilities related to the Template
acquisition, which resulted in a net reduction of approximately $139
to goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company revised its estimates
of certain Seer merger costs and assumed liabilities, which resulted in an
approximate $1,300 reduction in goodwill.

As a consequence of the Company's transition to an enterprise application
integration solutions provider during 1998, the Company abandoned certain
planned development efforts for products acquired in the Momentum transaction
and reassessed the remaining undiscounted projected cash flows related to the
identifiable and unidentifiable intangible assets acquired from Momentum. It
was concluded that, with the principal exception of the Momentum technology
utilized in the Level 8's Geneva Message Queuing product set and the Geneva
XIPC products, the goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the Momentum
transaction should be written off. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of
1998, the Company adjusted the carrying value of its identifiable and
unidentifiable assets to their fair value, resulting in a non-cash impairment
loss of $4,601.

(a) On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into a credit facility with a
commercial bank to provide for borrowings up to the lesser of $10,000 or
the sum of 50% of eligible receivables plus cash pledged with this
commercial bank. Advances under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus
1.5% (approximately 8.1% at December 31, 2000), which is payable
quarterly. The facility also requires an annual fee of .5% of the
commitment amount and expires on December 31, 2002. Total borrowings under
this facility were $10,000 at December 31, 2000 and were based upon a
$10,000 pledge of cash deposited in the bank. Borrowings under this
facility are subject to the Company meeting certain financial covenants,
which include stockholders' equity exceeding 23% of total assets and the
current ratio exceeding .85. This facility is collateralized by the
Company's accounts receivable, equipment and intangibles including
intellectual property. The Company is currently in compliance with all
financial covenants.
In connection with this facility, the Company provided warrants to the
lender to purchase approximately 173,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. The value of the warrants was calculated as $775 using the Black
Scholes option pricing model and is being amortized as a component of
interest expense over the term of the loan. As of December 31, 2000, there
was $775 of unamortized costs the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(b) At December 31, 1999 the Company had a $25 million credit facility with a
commercial bank to provide for borrowings based on eligible receivables
and included a $10,000 term loan. At December 31, 1999, there was $4,996
outstanding under this facility. During August 2000, the Company paid down
all of its borrowings under this facility. On December 1, 2000 the
facility was terminated due to the bank's liquidation of its loan
portfolio.
(c) The Company has a term loan with a commercial bank for $15,000 at December
31, 2000. This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1% (approximately 7.6% at
December 31, 2000), which is payable quarterly. There are no financial
covenants. This loan is guaranteed by Liraz, Level 8's principal
shareholder.
The original loan amount of $10,000 was used to partially fund the purchase
of Template. See Note 2. During 2000, the loan and guarantee were amended
to extend the due date from May 31, 2001 to November 30, 2001 and to
provide the Company with an additional $5,000 in borrowings. In exchange
for the initial and amended guarantees, the Company issued Liraz a total of
170,000 shares of the Company's

common stock. Based upon the fair market value of the stock issued, the
Company has recorded total deferred costs of $4,013 related to the guaranty.
These costs are being amortized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations
as a component of interest expense over the term of the guaranty. As of
December 31, 2000, there was $2,702 of unamortized costs included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the loan was
amended to extend the due date to January 30, 2002.
(d) As part of its acquisition of StarQuest., as described in Note 2, the
Company assumed a $2,000 note payable to one of its strategic partners.
The note is due on February 11, 2001 and bears interest at 6.8%, which is
payable quarterly. On February 21, 2001, the note was paid in full.
(e) On December 1, 1998, in connection with the acquisition of Momentum
Software Corporation as described in Note 2, the Company issued notes
totaling $3,000 payable over three years and bearing interest of 10% per
annum. The remaining three installments total $2,250, plus interest. One
installment was due on November 26, 1999 with the remaining two payments
due on November 20, 2000, and November 15, 2001. There are no financial
covenants in this note. During January, 2000, the Company offered to
exchange the notes held by former Momentum shareholders for shares of the
Company's common stock at a per share price based on the average market
price for a set period prior to the date the noteholder accepts the offer.
The Company converted $1,904 of the Momentum notes to approximately 55,000
shares of the Company's common stock in February, 2000 as a result of this
exchange offer. During August, 2000 the Company paid off the remaining
balances due under these notes.
(f) The Company is obligated under various capital leases for certain computer
and office equipment providing for aggregate payment, excluding interest,
of $30 during 2001.

At December 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $70,130 which may be applied against future taxable income.
These carryforwards will expire at various times between 2005 and 2021. A
substantial portion of these carryforwards is restricted to future taxable
income of certain of the Company's subsidiaries or limited by Internal Revenue
Code Section 382. Thus, the utilization of these
carryforwards cannot be assured. Approximately $6,453 of the valuation
allowance relates to deferred tax assets for which any subsequently recognized
tax benefits will be allocated directly to reduce goodwill or other noncurrent
intangible assets purchased from Momentum and StarQuest. Additionally, net
operating loss carryforwards include tax deductions for the disqualifying
dispositions of incentive stock options. When the Company utilizes the net
operating loss related to these deductions, the tax benefit will be reflected
in additional paid in capital and not as a reduction of tax expense. The total
amount of these deductions included in the net operating loss carryforwards is
$21,200.

During 1999, the Company acquired the stock of Template. This acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of
the acquired company was in excess of the carryover tax basis of the assets
acquired, resulting in the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $1,476.
Since the acquired company and the Company may elect to file a consolidated
return on an ongoing basis, the future taxable difference may be offset by the
Company's future deductible differences, primarily its net operating loss
carryforwards. Therefore, the Company's valuation allowance against its
deferred tax asset and its investment in the acquired subsidiary was reduced
by $1,476.

The undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries are not subject to
additional foreign income taxes nor considered to be subject to U.S. income
taxes unless remitted as dividends. The Company intends to reinvest such
undistributed earnings indefinitely; accordingly, no provision has been made
for U.S. taxes on those earnings.

The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the total amount of its
deferred tax assets at December 31, 2000 since management does not believe
that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized.

NOTE 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stock Options

The Company has 1995 and 1997 Stock Incentive Plans, which permit the issuance
of incentive and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights,
performance shares, and restricted and unrestricted stock to employees,
officers, directors, consultants, and advisors. The Plans reserve a combined
total of 6,150,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of
awards and provide that the term of each award be determined by the Board of
Directors. The Company also has a stock incentive plan for outside directors
and the Company has set aside 120,000 shares of common stock for issuance
under this plan.

Under the terms of the Plans, the exercise price of the incentive stock
options may not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of
the award and the options are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years
from date of grant. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipients to
receive the excess of the fair market value of the Company's stock on the
exercise date, as determined by the Board of Directors, over the fair market
value on the date of grant. Performance shares entitle recipients to acquire
Company stock upon the attainment of specific performance goals set by the
Board of Directors. Restricted stock entitles recipients to acquire Company
stock subject to the right of the Company to repurchase the shares in the
event conditions specified by the Board are not satisfied prior to the end of
the restriction period. The Board may also grant unrestricted stock to
participants at a cost not less than 85% of fair market value on the date of
sale. Options granted vest at varying periods up to five years and expire in
ten years.

In December 1999, as part of its acquisition of Template the Company has
assumed the three Stock Option Plans of Template; the 1992 Incentive Stock
Option Plan, the 1992 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Equity
Incentive Plan. No further grants may be made under these plans. The options
granted under these plans were converted to options for the Company's common
stock upon the assumption of these plans by the Company at the acquisition
date. There are 424,403 options outstanding under these plans at December 31,
2000.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options issued during the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 was equal to $17.60, $9.77, and $4.37
per share, respectively. The fair value of options granted during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 was equal to $36,641, $17,550,
and $5,652, respectively. There were no option grants issued below fair market
value during 2000, 1999, or 1998.

The fair value of the Company's stock-based awards to employees was estimated
as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model,
using the following weighted-average assumptions:



2000 1999 1998
------- ------- -------

Expected life (in years).......................... 5 years 5 years 5 years
Expected volatility............................... 85% 82% 52%
Risk free interest rate........................... 6.09% 5.44% 5.00%
Expected dividend yield........................... 0% 0% 0%


For disclosure purposes, the adjusted estimated fair value of the Company's
stock-based awards to employees is amortized over the vesting period. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates as calculated in
accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share for the
fiscal years December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 would have been increased to
the pro forma amounts indicated below. The Company's adjusted information

The Company enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge the exposures that
arise from foreign exchange movements between dates that foreign currency
denominated receivables are recorded and the date they are paid. The Company
does not engage in foreign currency speculation. The forward contracts are
generally 90 to 120 day forward window contracts having maturities of less
than one year. The table below summarizes, by currency, the contractual
amounts of the Company's forward contracts for the years ended December 31:

Unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts reflect changes in exchange
rates and are recorded directly in income, as they offset corresponding
unrealized gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated assets being
hedged. See Note 1. Forward contract liabilities related to unrealized losses
are recorded as other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company is exposed to exchange related losses on forward contracts should
a transaction with a related forward exchange contract not be consummated by
the forward contract expiration date. In such instances, the Company extends
or repurchases the contract at the then prevailing market rates. Net realized
losses on the extension or repurchase of contracts totaled $- and $3 for the
years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

NOTE 17. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Management of the Company makes operating decisions and assesses performance
of its operations based on the following reportable segments: (1) Software,
(2) Maintenance, (3) Services, and (4) Research and Development.

Segment data includes a charge allocating all corporate-headquarters costs to
each of its operating segments based on each segment's proportionate share of
expenses. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates
resources to them based on earnings (loss) before interest and other
income/(expense), taxes, in-process research and development, restructuring
and amortization of goodwill (EBITA).

Comparative information is not available for the same period of 1998 because
the Company previously reviewed its operations as one reportable segment and
did not have international operations.

NOTE 18. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION

During 1995, the Company and Liraz entered into a custom computer programming
agreement for the joint development of certain software. Liraz and the Company
were each to pay 50% of the total project development costs. In exchange for
providing 50% of the project development costs, Liraz was to receive royalties
of 30% of the first $2,000 in contract revenue from the sale of products
developed under this agreement, 20% of the next $1,000, and 8% thereafter.

Due to a change in the Company's development plans for this product, during
the first quarter of 1998, the Company and Liraz entered into an amendment to
the original custom computer programming agreement, whereby the original
royalty payment provisions were repealed. Under the new agreement, the Company
agreed to reimburse Liraz's costs of development of $1,500 and to pay Liraz
royalties of 3% of program revenues, as defined in the agreement, generated
from January 1, 1998 until December 31, 2000. The Company issued a note to
Liraz for $1,500 for cost reimbursement pursuant to this agreement and is
amortizing the cost of reimbursement over the term of the agreement. See Note
8. The amortization of the cost reimbursement is included as a component of
cost of software in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Total royalties
paid to Liraz were $48, $15, and $130 for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively.

In addition, the Company and Liraz were awarded an Israel--U.S. Binational
Industrial Research and Development Foundation ("BIRD") grant totaling $432.
The BIRD grant provided for reimbursement of up to 50% of the development
costs of the above project. At the point at which the products developed under
this grant are available for sale, BIRD will be paid a royalty of 5% until
BIRD recovers approximately 150% of its reimbursement of development costs.
The Company capitalized the software development costs associated with Level
8's project development costs and reduced the capitalized costs by any grant
funds received from BIRD. At December 31, 1999, the Company had capitalized
approximately $1,249, after reimbursement of BIRD funds totaling approximately
$400. This product was completed during fiscal year 1998.

The Company sold software licenses to Liraz for $280, $0, and $15 in 2000,
1999, and 1998, respectively, for resale to unrelated third parties.

Liraz also pays the salaries and expenses of certain company employees and is
reimbursed by the Company. Salaries and expenses paid by Liraz amounted to
$259, $372, and $568 during 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

LEVEL 8 SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had accounts payable of $59 and $41
to Liraz, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Company had accounts
receivable of $306 from Liraz.

In June 1999, a subsidiary of Liraz purchased convertible preferred stock and
warrants from the Company for $10,000 on the same terms as the other investors
in the $21,000 offering. In December, 1999, Liraz exercised its warrants for
one million shares of common stock for an aggregate exercise price of $10,000.

Liraz guarantees certain debt obligations of the Company through December 31,
2002. The Company issued common stock to Liraz in exchange for the guaranty.
See Note 11.

See Note 11 regarding other notes payable to Liraz.

In the third quarter of 2000, the Company had software sales of $6,000 to a
customer that currently holds approximately seven percent (7%) of the
outstanding shares of common stock and has an employee as a member on the
Board of Directors.

The Company has a note receivable from a director and officer. See Note 8.

NOTE 19. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company reorganized its existing
operations due to its acquisition of Template. The Company's restructuring
included a management change in its development and operations areas, the
abandonment of certain leased facilities, and the closure of its French
subsidiary. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $545, which
consisted of approximately $275 in costs associated with subleasing excess
space, approximately $235 in personnel-related charges, and approximately $35
in professional fees to close its French subsidiary. Through December 31,
2000, the Company has paid approximately $340 in cash related to these
restructuring charges.

During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company reorganized its existing
operations due to its acquisition of Seer. The restructuring included a staff
reduction in its development and administrative areas of 20% (15 employees),
the abandonment of certain leased facilities, and the write-down to fair value
of certain capitalized software costs for product lines which were being
discontinued. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately
$1,540, which consisted of approximately $706 in personnel-related charges,
approximately $292 in costs associated with carrying vacated space until the
lease expiration date, approximately $188 of property and equipment related
charges, approximately $241 in write-down of capitalized software costs,
approximately $100 in professional fees related to the restructuring, and
approximately $13 for other charges. At December 31, 1999 the Company revised
its estimate of the 1998 restructuring charge by reducing it by $162 based on
a review of the costs paid through December 31, 1999 and the remaining
estimated costs. The change in estimate is reflected in the 1999 Consolidated
Statement of Operations as a reduction of the restructuring charge for 1999.
Through December 31, 2000, the Company has paid approximately $944 in cash
related to the restructuring.

The Company believes the accrued restructuring cost of $210 at December 31,
2000 represents its remaining cash obligations for the restructuring charges
included above.

in the normal course of business. Management is of the opinion that the
liability, if any, resulting from these claims would not have a material
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company undertook a new strategic
initiative around the Cicero technology it acquired from Merrill Lynch. As a
part of this strategic initiative, the Company restructured its domestic and
international operations. This restructuring included an approximate 35%
reduction in personnel. The reductions were made in all operational areas of
the Company. The Company also intends to consolidate some of its leased
facilities as part of this restructuring and dispose of certain assets. The
Company is currently in the process of completing its estimate of the
restructuring charge that will be recorded in the first quarter.

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company loaned an officer and director of
the Company $75 which is due in full on January 31, 2002. The interest rate is
ten percent (10%) per annum and the note is secured by shares of common stock
owned by the officer and director.

On December 28, 2000, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to acquire
Level 8 Systems, Ltd. from Liraz in exchange for shares of the Company's
common stock. As of the date of this filing, the transaction has not yet been
completed. The closing is subject to final approval by the Company's Board of
Directors. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect
the acquisition of Level 8 Systems, Ltd.

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company renegotiated the note receivable
related to the sale of government operations to $850 and collected this
amount. See Note 3.

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company paid in full a $2,000 note
payable to a strategic partner of StarQuest. See Note 11.

Subsequent to December 31, 2000, the Company renegotiated its term loan with a
