Comment Regarding Non-GAAP
Sapiens&; management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures can enhance the understanding of the company&;s ongoing economic performance, and provides useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company&;s financial condition and results of operations. Sapiens therefore uses internally the non-GAAP information to evaluate and manage the Company&;s operations.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. Sapiens believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Sapiens&; results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Sapiens&; results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Please refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Results at the end of this release.

J2EE and .NET Support - enabling easy integration within J2EE and .NET architectures, including eMerge Resource Adapter which implements a J2EE connector according to the SUN Java Connector Architecture specification and EJB Binding - the ability to access eMerge(TM) objects from an EJB container.
Using these new features, enterprises that have previously leveraged eMerge(TM) to define highly complex business logic and execute heavy duty transaction-intensive enterprise class work loads can now use industry standard technologies to rapidly extend the value of their eMerge(TM) business-rules technology to all corners of the enterprise.
Remarking on the release, Mr. Itzick Sharir, President and CEO of Sapiens International said: "This new generation of eMerge(TM) demonstrates our continued commitment to enhancing and 'future proofing' our technology. We protect and extend the value of our clients' investment in our eMerge(TM) technology through the development of new capabilities and adapters which allow them to leverage new industry standard technologies without the cost of re-developing their eMerge(TM) applications. To our insurance customers, this new generation of eMerge(TM) enables the deployment of new business modules while providing the flexibility and speed to market required in today's changing world."

JA Ishikawa Awards Sapiens License and Maintenance for $500,000
Monday August 15, 3:13 am ET
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, North Carolina, August 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ: SPNS, TASE: SPNS) today announced that JA Ishikawa Computer Center has signed a 60 million Yen (approximately $500,000) license and maintenance agreement with Sapiens Japan.
ADVERTISEMENT
JA Ishikawa has been a Fujitsu mainframe user for 25 years, but has decided to replace its system and migrate to IBM iSeries by the end of 2006, in order to rebuild its system with Sapiens eMerge(TM).
Because of mandatory retirement, many individuals leading Japan's economy will retire in 2007, or soon thereafter. This is expected to cause difficulties in passing accumulated know-how down to younger generations. Similarly, in IT departments, application developers from the mainframe era will retire with the remaining individuals lacking full understanding of the complete system. It is believed that system rebuilding by staff of all generations is crucial to prepare for the near future.
Each of the 47 prefectures in Japan has a JA, a Japan Agricultural Cooperative. Japan Agricultural Cooperatives has been promoting a nationwide revolution in utilization of its system. JA Ishikawa is the fourth JA to introduce Sapiens, after JA Kumamoto, JA Chiba and JA Nagano.
In an interview with the Japanese magazine, Computer Report, Managing Director Yoshikazu Akamaru, and Mikio Ohyama, Consultant, of JA Ishikawa Computer Center described their decision to use Sapiens eMerge(TM). "Using package software or outsourcing would not ensure flexibility to meet drastic changes in the JA business environment. From our observations of other JAs, we learned that outsourcing is very expensive both in development and operation, and that developing new systems with eMerge(TM) is more cost efficient than customizing existing software packages. Introduction of eMerge(TM) will be the best way to reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) by efficiently utilizing our expertise and Sapiens' developed business knowledge, to overcome the year 2007 issue."
Manabu Okada, President, Sapiens Japan's, commented, "JA Ishikawa made a decision to introduce eMerge(TM) a few months after our presentation in February. We hope their move will have an impact on other JA prefectural organizations. Sapiens Japan is committed to giving full support to rebuild JA's system that is currently running on a Fujitsu mainframe and will make this project a success."
About JA Ishikawa Computer Center
JA Ishikawa Computer Center develops and operates systems for local groups in the Ishikawa Prefecture. The JA systems cover (1) collection of agricultural and stock farm products and the offer of these to market, and payment for products, (2) provision of fertilizer and manure, pesticide, livestock feed and gasoline and kerosene.

I was wrong, admits Sapiens' CEO
14.8.2005 / 12:59
Shirley Yom Tov
If you've been keeping track of Sapiens International (Nasdaq:SPNS) manager Yitzhak Sharir, you've been hearing a lot of promises over the last two years.
Under his leadership the company aimed itself at creating billing software for the insurance industry, and Sharir, 55, disseminated optimistic forecasts from - almost - every dais. But he had little to say on the subject when discussing the company's financial statements, most of which have been disappointing. Nor did he go there, much, when the company raised $17 million through convertible bonds in September 2003, which was an occasion to dwell on sustainable growth, but he did mention successful penetration of the insurance business.
But it didn't happen and at present Sapiens is very far from the place Sharir had expected it to reach. Last week the company reported $9.6 million revenues for the second quarter of 2005 and a net loss of $1.7 million. From 2000, in fact, Sapiens has lost $72 million. Penetration of the famously conservative insurance business is slow and painful, and income from traditional areas of business has been declining.
When reality falls short of expectations, managers usually find plenty of things to blame. Not Sharir: "I was wrong," he baldly admitted to TheMarker. "I firmly believed in what I said, but today I say I was wrong and I bear that responsibility. I believed Sapiens could benefit within three years of entering the insurance business in 2001."
His message was optimism, says Sharir: "In retrospect I can say my enthusiasm should have been more modest. I bear the responsibility for the fact that the capital market and workers are disappointed, because I created the expectations. Now I have to explain to everybody why it didn't happen."
In 2000, Sapiens crashed
In the early 1990s, Sapiens was selling at a pace of $30-40 million a year, from consulting and selling development platforms. In the mid-1990s Sapiens was euphoric; the feeling was new economy, when a good story could command a billion-dollar company valuation, Sharir describes. Sapiens itself went public in 1992 and started looking for opportunities, instead of focusing on its core business.
"It did well from converting computer systems to overcome the Year 2000 Bug, achieving $70 million revenues a year and profit. That was the start of the problem, though, because the company thought the good times would roll on."
January 2000 came and went and no bug appeared, so the company started to look for other opportunities. Sapiens turned its attention from converting for the 2000 bug to converting currency systems to handle the euro, but it didn't really know how to do it. It also made the mistake of buying non-core businesses, in ill-advised short-term strategy. Sapiens even considered a merger with Ness Technologies (Nasdaq:NSTC) but it didn't come off.
"In November 2000, Sapiens crashed," he relates. "It was a company with 1,000 workers, projects in trouble and long delays. Its money was running out."
Sharir came to Sapiens at that sorry point, in November 2000, together with his partners in the investment firm Magnum. He was appointed CEO of Sapiens and held 6% of its stock, which has lost only 2.5% in value since then.
For the year 2000 Sapiens admitted to a $40 million loss, and goodwill assets worth tens of millions of dollars that it had to write off.
First off it fired hundreds of people within a few months. It managed to save some of its euro-conversion projects, increased revenues and reduced its negative cash flow from operations.
Glacial processes in insurance
"In the fourth quarter of 2001 the company was balanced," he says. Sapiens underwent a strategic analysis with an external company and decided to focus on financial services, including insurance, a giant industry that invests $70 billion a year, of which $7-10 billion are for systems of Sapiens' type.
Its systems make the myriad processes of financial companies more efficient. At the end of 2003, two years after it started breaking into the insurance business, Sharir projected that revenues from insurance would grow by 50% a year.
They did not.
Penetrating the insurance takes ages, Sharir admits today: insurance companies are glacial in their decision-making processes. In the long run he remains confident that Sapiens' income from the industry will grow and when it happens, it could be huge, but patience is the word. "We're starting to see highly significant deals," he added.
Meanwhile, the company's core development platforms continue to provide 65% its revenues. Though the income they generate is declining, Sapiens has no choice but to continue investing in their development, to remain relevant. "These deals are the company's bread and butter," says Sharir, "but insurance is our future."
He says Sapiens needs $11.5 million per quarter to break even, at the net profit level: "The company is undergoing a painful, slow business process, which is what is generating the losses," Sharir explains. "We have $20 million cash and our burn rate is $1.5 million per quarter. Cash flow from operations is negative, at a pace of $3 million to $5 million a year."
The company is making every effort to reach break-even point: he himself flies coach, Sharir says. "I hope we can achieve operating break-even point in a year, but I can't say it for sure."
In short, four years after Sapiens leaped at the insurance sector, it has nothing to report for its pains. It did rope in a few clients, including Israel's Menorah Holdings (TASE: MORA1 ) and OneBeacon of the U.S. Sharir thinks the Bachar reform of the capital market and banks, which may lead the insurance companies to buy some of the banks' provident and mutual funds, will do nothing but good for Sapiens, but meanwhile the morrow remains murky.
At least the company has backing. It is controlled by Formula Systems (TASE: FORT, NASDAQ:FORTY) and First Israel Mezzanine Investors, which cannot however boast of having done well by their investment. Sapiens stock has lost 45% of its value this year, and from the start of 2004, Sapiens stock has lost 60% of its value. Its market cap is a lowly $19 million.

Sapiens Announces Second Quarter 2005 Results
Thursday August 11, 6:18 am ET
Significant Reduction in Losses Despite Decline in Revenues
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, North Carolina, August 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sapiens International Corporation N.V. (NASDAQ: SPNS; TASE: SPNS) announced today its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.
For the quarter, the company recorded revenues of $9.6 million compared with $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, a decrease of 5.0%. Gross profit increased to $3.8 million from $3.5 million, with gross profit margins increasing to 39.9% from 34.6% in the previous quarter. The Company reduced its operating loss to$1.3 million from $2.3 million in the first quarter, an improvement of 43.5%. Net loss for the second quarter was reduced to $1.7 million, compared with a net loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2005, an improvement of 34.6%.
Itzick Sharir, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sapiens, commented:
"Though we report a decline in our overall revenues, it relates primarily to our traditional line of business, where long term projects have been successfully implemented and, as a result, we face reduced revenue streams. On the other hand, we are glad to announce that there was an increase in revenue this quarter from our customers in the insurance industry, our strategic focus.
"We are also glad to report that we have increased our gross profit and gross profit margin and have significantly reduced both our operating and net losses. Most importantly, we were able to achieve positive operational cash-flow for the quarter.
"We continue to make progress in penetrating the global insurance marketplace and hope we will soon announce several important wins."
Sapiens' management will host a teleconference at 8:45 a.m. EST on August 11, 2005, to discuss the results and the company's outlook.
