SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical facts, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic investments. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our expectation only as of the day this Quarterly Report was first filed with the SEC and should not be relied on as representing our expectations as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our expectations change.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Sapient Corporation pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

      The market for advanced technology consulting services declined significantly in 2001 and 2002 and has not changed significantly to date in 2003. As a result of this decrease in demand, the Company’s service revenues for the first quarter of 2003 decreased 11% from its service revenues for the first quarter of 2002. As a result of restructuring and other cost cutting actions during 2001 and 2002, the Company’s loss from continuing operations decreased from $53.3 million for the first quarter of 2002 to $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2003. The Company’s cash used in operations for the first quarter of 2003 was $18.9 million, including $9.1 million used for previously recorded restructuring actions. The Company has accrued restructuring costs, primarily related to vacated facilities, of $64.2 million at March 31, 2003. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable investments at March 31, 2003 were $162.3 million. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable investments will be sufficient to meet its working capital, capital expenditure, restructuring requirements and stock repurchase program for at least the next 12 months. However, if the demand for the Company’s services remains weak or declines further, the Company may incur additional losses and negative cash flows, and these could be significant.

      Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In December 2002, the Company ceased operations in Japan. The financial statements and financial information included in this report for 2002 reflect the results of operations for Japan as a single line item listed as “Loss from discontinued operations.”

      Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report to “Sapient,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Sapient Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
