B. Executive Officers of Sapient

     The response to this Item is contained in Part I after Item 4 under the 
heading "Executive Officers of Sapient".


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of the
Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports
of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other
equity securities of the Company. Based solely upon a review of reports
submitted, and representations made, to the Company, the Company believes that
during 1998 its executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of
the Common Stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, other than
a late filing by Ms. Johnson reporting a stock option exercise and a late filing
by Mr. Gaskins reporting an acquisition of Common Stock by a family member.


ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Each non-employee director is paid $3,000 for attendance in person at each
Board meeting and $750 for attendance in person at any committee meeting that is
not held on the same day as a Board meeting. If a director participates by
telephone, rather than in person, one-half of such amount is paid. In addition,
each non-employee director is reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection
with attending meetings. Directors receive no other cash compensation for
serving as directors.

     On May 8, 1998, each of the Company's four non-employee directors was
granted a stock option under the Company's 1996 Equity Stock Incentive Plan to
acquire 2,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share,
which the Board determined to be the fair market value of the Common Stock on
such date. Such options vest in four equal annual installments starting on the
first anniversary of the date of grant.

     In February 1996, the Board adopted and the stockholders approved the 1996
Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan"), pursuant to which each new
non-employee director elected to the Board of Directors in the future will be
granted, upon his or her initial election as a director, an option to purchase
5,000 shares of Common Stock. All options granted under the Director Plan will
have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant, will vest over a four year period, provided the optionholder
continues to serve as a director of the Company, and will expire ten years from
the date of grant (subject

<PAGE>   5



to earlier termination in the event the optionee ceases to serve as a director
of the Company). No options have ever been granted under the Director Plan,
which provides for the issuance of a maximum of 60,000 shares.

(1)      Represents options granted pursuant to the Company's 1996 Equity Stock
         Incentive Plan or 1998 Stock Incentive Plan. Options granted become
         exercisable in four equal installments commencing on the first
         anniversary of the date of grant, other than Mr. Desai's option which
         vests in six installments, and Mr. Varady's option which vests in five
         installments.

(2)      The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of the Company's
         Common Stock on the date of grant.

(3)      Potential realizable value is based on an assumption that the market
         price of the stock will appreciate at the stated rate, compounded
         annually, from the date of grant until the end of the 10-year term.
         These values are calculated based on rules promulgated by the
         Securities and Exchange Commission and do not reflect the Company's
         estimate or projection of future stock prices. Actual gains, if any, on
         stock option exercises will depend on the future performance of the
         Company's Common Stock, the optionholder's continued employment through
         the option period and the date on which the options are exercised.

(4)      Messrs. Greenberg and Moore do not participate in the Company's stock
         plans.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

        During 1998, Sapient performed services for HealthWatch Technologies,
LLC ("HealthWatch"). HealthWatch was created by Sapient and others for the
purpose of performing Medicaid fraud, abuse and overpayment detection and
collection services to state governments, including one state government that
had awarded a service contract to Sapient to perform such services. HealthWatch
was created after Sapient's Board of Directors determined that it would not be
in Sapient's best interest to directly provide such detection and collection
services. Sapient owns approximately 38% of the outstanding limited liability
company interests of HealthWatch, and certain affiliates of the Company own
approximately 11% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of
HealthWatch. In addition, Messrs. Greenberg and Moore, together have loaned
approximately $2.4 million to HealthWatch. The loan proceeds were used by
HealthWatch to help finance its start-up costs. The loans accrue interest at
annual rate of 8%.   

        Sapient's fees for the services it performed during 1998, which
consisted of designing, developing and implementing HealthWatch's detection
software system, were approximately $1.8 million. In addition, HealthWatch
has engaged Sapient to provide maintenance and support services throughout 1999
for the HealthWatch system for approximately $1.7 million. Sapient believes
that the prices and terms of the services for HealthWatch are no less favorable
to Sapient than those which Sapient would have received in an arms' length
transaction with an unaffiliated third party.
