In August 1998, Sapient Corporation ("Sapient" or "the Company") acquired Studio
Archetype, Inc. ("Studio") for approximately $25.3 million in stock and cash,
including direct acquisition costs of approximately $2.3 million. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price
was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values.

The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (the
"Pro Forma Statements of Operations") for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the six months ended June 30, 1998 give effect to the acquisition of Studio as
if it had occurred on January 1, 1997. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations
are based on the historical results of operations of the Company and Studio for
the year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet ("Pro Forma Balance
Sheet") give effect to the acquisition of Studio as if it had acquired on June
30, 1998. The Pro Forma Statements of Operations and the Pro Forma Balance Sheet
(the "Pro Forma Financial Information") and the accompanying notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with and are qualified by the historical
consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto.

The Pro Forma Financial Information is intended for informational purposes only
and is not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future
results of operations of the combined company after the acquisition of Studio,
or of the financial position or results of operations of the combined company
that would have actually occurred had the acquisition of Studio been effected on
January 1, 1997.

In connection with the acquisition of Studio in the third quarter of 1998,
Sapient allocated $14.8 million of the purchase price to in-process research and
development projects. Although the Company reported its third quarter results of
1998 in accordance with established accounting practices and valuation
methodologies for acquired in-process research and development, the Company has
taken the initiative to conform its accounting for acquisition-related
in-process research and development charges related to the acquisition of Studio
to recent Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") interpretive guidance. This
resulting adjustment decreased the amount previously allocated to in-process
technology by $3.7 million, which has been capitalized as goodwill and will be
amortized on a straight line basis over seven years, and decreased the income
tax benefit and the corresponding deferred tax asset by $1,357,900. As a result
of this restatement, in the third quarter of 1998, the Company allocated $11.1
million to in-process technology and recorded a corresponding income tax benefit
of $4.2 million. This allocation represents the estimated fair value based on
risk-adjusted cash flows related to the incomplete projects. At the date of
acquisition, the development of these projects had not yet reached technological
feasibility and the research and development ("R&D") in progress had no
alternative future uses. Accordingly, these costs were expensed as of the
acquisition date.

The Company engaged independent third-party appraisers to assess and allocate
values to the in-process research and development by identifying significant
research projects for which technological feasibility had not been established,
including development, engineering and testing activities associated with the
introduction of Studio's next-generation enterprise-wide suite of development,
scheduling, bug tracking and content management applications.

The value assigned to purchased in-process technology was determined by
estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process technology into
commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash flows from the
projects and discounting the net cash flows to their present value. The revenue
projection used to value the in-process research and development is based on
estimates of relevant market sizes and growth factors, expected trends in
technology and the nature and expected timing of new product introductions by
Studio and its competitors. The estimated revenues for the projects are expected
to be realized over a six year period through 2004 when other new products are
expected to enter the market. Studio's projected revenues are dependent upon
successful introduction of the in-process projects.


The nature of the efforts to develop the acquired in-process technology into
commercially viable products and services principally relate to the completion
of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification, and testing activities
that are necessary to establish that the proposed technologies meet their design
specifications including functional, technical, and economic performance
requirements. The efforts to develop the purchased in-process technology also
include testing of the technology for compatability and interoperability with
other applications. Expenditures on these projects to date have been
approximately $2.5 million, and estimated 


<PAGE>   2


costs to complete these projects are expected to total approximately $625,000 in
aggregate through 2001. These estimates are subject to change, given the
uncertainties of the development process, and no assurance can be given that
deviations from these estimates will not occur.

The rates utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value are
based on venture capital rates of return. Due to the nature of the forecast and
the risks associated with the projected growth, profitability and developmental
projects, discount rates of 25.0 to 30.0 percent were utilized for the business
enterprise and for the in-process R&D. The Company believes that these discount
rates are commensurate with Studio's stage of development; the uncertainties in
the economic estimates described above; the inherent uncertainty surrounding the
successful development of the purchased in-process technology; the useful life
of such technology; the profitability levels of such technology; and, the
uncertainty of technological advances that are unknown at this time.

The forecasts used by Sapient in valuing in-process R&D were based upon
assumptions that Sapient believes to be reasonable but which are inherently
uncertain and unpredictable. Sapient's assumptions may be incomplete or
inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances are likely to occur. For
these reasons, actual results may materially vary from the assumed results and
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial condition.

Sapient believes that the assumptions used in the forecasts were reasonable at
the time of the acquisition. No assurance can be given, however, that the
underlying assumptions used to estimate expected project sales, development
costs or profitability, or the events associated with such projects, will
transpire as estimated. For these reasons, actual results may vary from the
assumed results and there is no assurance that any will meet with either
technological or commercial success.

Sapient expects to continue its support of these efforts and believes Studio has
a reasonable chance of successfully completing the R&D programs. However, there
is risk associated with the completion of the projects and there is no assurance
that any will meet with either technological or commercial success.

If these projects are not successfully developed, the sales and profitability of
Studio may be adversely affected in future periods. Additionally, the value of
the other intangible assets acquired may become impaired. Studio expects to
benefit from the purchased in-process technology beginning in 1999.

Other intangible assets of $13.3 million is comprised of $3.8 million for
marketing assets, $1.6 million for assembled work force and approximately $7.9
million of other goodwill type assets comprising the reputation of Studio which
have estimated useful lives of approximately 7 years. However, there are no
assurances that the value of these intangible assets acquired will not become
impaired.
