                  This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13G is filed by the Reporting
Persons who, by reason of their direct or indirect ownership of outstanding
shares of Liraz Systems Ltd. ("Liraz"), which has filed a Schedule 13G, as
amended, in respect of its beneficial ownership of shares of the Level 8
Systems, Inc. (the "Issuer"), may be deemed to share the power to vote or
dispose of such shares of the Issuer. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment
No. 4 to Schedule 13G, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 are
defined in this Statement on Schedule 13G, as previously filed.

                  The following amends Items 2 and 4 of this Statement on
Schedule 13G, as previously filed.

Item 2.  REPORTING PERSONS AND CLASS OF SECURITIES.

                  (a), (b) and (c): As of December 31, 1999, IDB Holding owned
approximately 71% of IDB Development, which, in turn, owned approximately 71.7%
of DIC. As of such date, DIC owned all the outstanding capital stock of PEC and
all the outstanding voting capital stock of DIC Loans.

                  On May 28, 1999, Mr. Raphael Recanati died and ceased to be a
Reporting Person. Mr. Oudi Recanati is hereby added as a Reporting Person. Mr.
Oudi Recanati is an Israeli citizen and his principal business office is "The
Tower", 3 Daniel Frisch Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.

                  Companies controlled by Mr. Oudi Recanati, Mr. Leon Y.
Recanati, Mrs. Judith Yovel Recanati and Mrs. Elaine Recanati together
beneficially owned approximately 51.6% of the equity and voting power of IDB
Holding as of December 31, 1999. Mrs. Elaine Recanati is the aunt of Mr. Leon
Recanati and Mrs. Judith Yovel Recanati, who are brother and sister, and of
Mr. Oudi Recanati, who is a cousin of Mr. Leon Recanati and Judith Yovel
Recanati. Messrs. Oudi Recanati and Leon Y. Recanati are each the Co-Chairman
and Co-Chief Executive Officer of IDB Holding and Co-Chairman of IDB
Development. Mr. Oudi Recanati is also the Chairman of PEC and DIC.

Item 4.  OWNERSHIP.

                  The Issuer has advised the Reporting Persons that as of
December 31, 1999 the Issuer had 12,269,610 outstanding shares of Common Stock.
In addition, Liraz has advised the Reporting Persons that as of December 31,
1999 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liraz owned 10,000 Preferred A shares of the
Issuer (the "Preferred Stock") which are convertible into 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock. The percentages of outstanding shares of Common Stock used in this
Statement are based on 13,269,610 shares.

                  None of the Reporting Persons owns directly any shares of
Common Stock. The Reporting Persons are advised by Liraz that as of December 31,
1999 Liraz and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Liraz Export (1990) Ltd. ("Liraz
Export") and ASE Advanced Systems Europe B.V. ("ASE"), beneficially owned
5,683,180 shares of Common Stock, of which Liraz owned 2,861,923 shares, Liraz
Export owned 821,257 shares, and ASE owned 2,000,000 shares (including the
1,000,000 shares that are issuable upon conversion of its shares of Preferred
Stock), representing a total of 42.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Reference is made to Item 4 of the Schedule 13G filed by Liraz, as amended.

                  The Reporting Persons are advised by Liraz that there were
6,515,499 outstanding ordinary shares of Liraz as of December 31, 1999. As of
December 31, 1999, various of the Reporting Persons shared the power to vote and
dispose of 2,852,247 ordinary shares of Liraz, or approximately 43.8% of the
outstanding ordinary shares of Liraz. As of such date, PEC and DIC Loans
beneficially owned 1,426,123 and 1,426,124 ordinary shares of Liraz,
respectively, or approximately 21.9% each of the outstanding ordinary shares of
Liraz. As of such date, DIC, by reason of its ownership of PEC and DIC Loans,
shared the power to vote and dispose of 2,852,247 ordinary shares of Liraz. As
of such date, IDB Development, by reason of its ownership interest in DIC, and
IDB Holding, by reason of its ownership interest in IDB Development, shared the
power to vote and dispose of 2,852,247 ordinary shares of Liraz.

                  During 1999, the shareholders agreement among PEC, DIC and Mr.
Arie Kilman (the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer
and, until December 13, 1999, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
President of Liraz), pursuant to which PEC, DIC and Mr. Kilman agreed to act
together to elect directors of Liraz and for certain other purposes, was
terminated.

                  The Reporting Persons may by reason of their interest in and
relationships with Liraz be deemed to share voting power and dispositive power
with respect to the 5,683,180 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which Liraz,
Liraz Export and ASE directly own.
