the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2000, revenue reached $315.1 million, an
increase of 72.4% over last year's fourth quarter. Excluding acquisition-related

million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999. The
Company's as-reported net income, which includes acquisition-related charges of

of $29.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal
1999.

Avi Naor, Chief Executive Officer of Amdocs Management Limited, noted, "Fiscal
2000 has been an outstanding year for Amdocs. We have continued to achieve rapid
growth, as reflected by annual revenue surpassing $1 billion for the first time,
while maintaining excellent profitability and visibility. This combination of
business stability and sustained growth reflects a business model and ongoing
revenue stream based on broad, long-term relationships with our customers."

The company noted that it continues to strengthen its position as the market
leader in customer care and billing systems. This leadership is manifest in key
new projects Amdocs has recently been awarded for voice-IP convergence, mobile
IP and broadband. "We are leveraging our leadership position in CC&B by
enhancing our offering to encompass CRM, order management and other
capabilities. This will provide a comprehensive end-to-end communications
business infrastructure for our customers," Naor added.

Management believes that demand for the company's systems remains strong and is
growing in all business arenas. The company will enter fiscal 2001 with an
excellent pipeline and high visibility. "As the market leader in a very strong,
rapidly expanding market, we have every reason for confidence. We look forward
to another year of strong growth and continued success," Naor concluded.

The company also noted that for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000,
revenue grew by 78.4% to a record $1.1 billion. Excluding acquisition-related
charges of amortization of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, write-off
