Introductory  Note:

This  Amendment  on Form 10-Q/A amends the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q  for  the  period ended June 30, 1998, as filed by the Registrant on August
14,  1998,  and  is  being  filed to reflect the restatement of the Registrant's
consolidated financial statements (the "Restatement").  The Restatement reflects
the  revaluation  of  acquired  in-process  research  and  development  from the
acquisition  of  Momentum  Software  Corporation  on  March 26, 1998, based upon
revised  guidelines  as set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC");  informal  discussions  with  the  SEC  regarding  the  accounting  for
renegotiations  of royalty payments under a software development agreement which
the  Company  is  now  amortizing  over  the  term  of  the agreement; and other
adjustments  to  properly  reflect  quarterly  results.  The  adjustments to the
previously  presented  quarterly  information,  except  for  the  revaluation of
acquired  in-process  research  and  development  and  the  renegotiated royalty
payments,  are between quarters within each of the years ended December 31, 1997
and  1998  and  have  no  impact  on  year-end  results.

financial  position of the Company as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and
the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June
30,  1998  and 1997.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three and
six  months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be  expected  for  the  year  ending  December  31,  1998,  or  any other period

This amendment on Form 10-Q/A amends the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
originally  filed  on  August  14,  1998  and  is  being  filed  to  reflect the
restatement  of  the  Company's  consolidated financial statements.  See Note 3.
The Company filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1998  which  contains subsequent information regarding certain matters disclosed
herein.  For  further  information,  refer  to  the  1998 consolidated financial
statements  and  notes  included  therein.

Additionally,  for  further  information,  refer  to  the consolidated financial
statements  and notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K/A for
the  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  filed  September  11,  1998.


2.     Principles  of  Consolidation  -

The  June  30,  1998  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
Level  8  Systems,  Inc.  ("Level 8") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Level 8
Technologies,  Inc.  ("Level  8 Technologies") and ProfitKey International, Inc.
("ProfitKey")  and  its  new  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Momentum  Software
Corporation,  from the date of acquisition of March 26, 1998.  The June 30, 1997
condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Level 8,
Level  8  Technologies, ProfitKey, and its ASU consulting division.  On April 6,
1998,  the  Company  sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, ProfitKey.  ProfitKey has
been accounted for as a discontinued operation and the results of its operations
have  been  excluded  from  continuing  operations in the condensed consolidated
financial  statements for all periods presented.  All inter-company accounts and
transactions  are  eliminated  in  consolidation.

3.     Restatement

     Purchased  research  and  product  development

Subsequent  to  the  issuance of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
quarterly  period  ended  June  30,  1998,  the Company's management revised the
amount  of  the  purchase  price  which was allocated to in-process research and
development  ("IPR&D")  in  accounting  for the acquisition of Momentum Software
Corporation in March of 1998.  See Note 4.  The revised allocation is based upon
methods  prescribed  in  a  letter  from  the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC")  sent  to  the  American  Institute  of  Certified Public Accountants in
September  1998.  The  letter sets forth the SEC's views regarding the valuation
methodology to be used in allocating a portion of the purchase price to IPR&D at
the  date  of  the  acquisition.

The Company's initial calculations to value the acquired IPR&D were based upon a
methodology  that  estimated  the  costs  to develop the IPR&D into commercially
viable  products, and discounted the net cash flows back to their present value.

The  increase  in  selling,  general  and administrative is primarily due to the
additional  goodwill  related  to the purchase of Momentum Software Corp. due to
the change in the valuation of IPR&D discussed above.  Goodwill and amortization
was  approximately  $408  for  the  quarter ended June 30, 1998.  An increase to
acquisition research of $112 and $244 for the three and six month periods ended,
respectively  was  recorded.

The  Company also adjusted the value and shares of stock issued for the purchase
of  Momentum.  This  adjustment  resulted  in  a  $668  increase  to  goodwill.

The  change  in  weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six month
period  ending  June  30, 1998 is due to the recomputation of shares taking into
effect  the  purchase  of  Momentum  Software  Corporation.

Royalty  agreement

During  1995, the Company and Liraz, the Company's majority shareholder, entered
into  a  custom  computer  programming  agreement  for  the joint development of
certain  software.  Liraz  and  the  Company  were  each to pay 50% of the total
project  development  costs.  In  exchange  for  providing  50%  of  the project
development  costs, Liraz was to receive royalties of 30% of the first $2,000 in
contract  revenue  from the sale of products developed under this agreement, 20%
of  the  next  $1,000,  and  8%  thereafter.

Due  to a change in the Company's development plans for this product, during the
first quarter of 1998, the Company and Liraz orally agreed to amend the original
custom  computer  programming agreement. Under the new agreement signed April 1,
1998, the Company agreed to reimburse Liraz's costs of development of $1,500 and
to  pay  Liraz royalties of 3% of program revenues, as defined in the agreement,
generated from January 1, 1998 until December 31, 2000.   The Company originally
recorded  the transaction as a purchase of technology with an offsetting note to
Liraz  for  $1,500  during the first quarter of 1998.  Additionally, the Company
recorded  an  impairment  loss  related  to  the  capitalized  cost of the joint
development  agreement  due to the net realizable value of the future cash flows
expected  from  the  product.  Based  on  informal discussions with the SEC, the
Company  has restated its quarterly financial statements to amortize the cost of
reimbursement over the term of the agreement beginning on April 1, 1998 with the
signing  of  the  agreement.

The  increase  in prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily related
to  recognition  of  current  deferred  royalty expenses of $500 for the quarter
ended  June  30,  1998.

Other  adjustments

In connection with the audit of the Company's 1998 annual consolidated financial
statements,  certain  adjustments  were     identified  in  order  to
recognize  revenue in the proper quarter of 1998 in accordance with Statement of
Position  97-2,  "Software  Revenue  Recognition,"  issued  by  the  American  
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.   For  the  six  months     ended
June  30, 1998,  revenues  totaling  $930  have  been  deferred until subsequent
quarters  of  1998 along  with  $234 of  expenses  related to the revenues.  The
nature of  this  transaction  also  impacts  accounts  receivable  and  deferred
revenues.

The  adjustments to the current maturities of loan from related company, current
maturities of long-term debt, long-term debt, net of current maturities and loan
from  related  company,  net  of current maturities was a reclassification among
those  accounts  and  has no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of June
30,  1998.

4.     Acquisition  -
On  March  26,  1998,  the  Company  acquired  Momentum  Software  Corporation
("Momentum").  Under  the  agreement,  Level  8  issued 594,866 shares of common
stock  and  warrants  to  purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of
$13.108  per  share,  subject  to  adjustment  based on the value of the Level 8
common  shares  on December 1, 1998.  The amount of contingent consideration, if
any,  will  be determined in the fourth quarter of 1998.   The total cost of the
acquisition,  excluding  additional  contingent consideration paid in the fourth
quarter, was  approximately $7,717 and is treated as a purchase.  As a result of
the  acquisition  of  Momentum,  the  Company  incurred a nonrecurring charge to
earnings of an estimate of approximately $1.2 million  related  to  the purchase
of in-process research and development costs. The remaining amount was allocated
to  goodwill  and  software  development  costs.  The  results  of operations of
Momentum are included in the financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The  purchase  price  was  preliminarily  allocated  to  the assets acquired and
liabilities  assumed  based  on  the  Company's  estimates  of fair value at the
acquisition  date.  The  fair  value  assigned to intangible assets acquired was
based on a valuation prepared by an independent third-party appraisal company of
the  purchased  in-process  research  and development, developed technology, and
assembled  workforce  of  Momentum.  The  purchase  price  exceeded  the amounts
allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed by
approximately $5,615.  This excess of the purchase price over the fair values of
assets  acquired  less  liabilities  assumed  was  allocated  to  goodwill.

Approximately  $1,200  of  the  purchase  price  represents purchased in-process
research  and development that had not yet reached technological feasibility and
had  no  alternative  future  use.  Accordingly,  this  amount  was  immediately
expensed  in  the  Consolidated Statement of Operations upon consummation of the
acquisition.  The  value  assigned to in-process research and development, based
on  a  valuation  prepared  by an independent third-party appraisal company, was
determined  by  identifying  research  projects,  all of which related to either
add-ons  or enhancements of Momentum's existing XIPC product, in areas for which
technological  feasibility  had  not  been established.  The value of in-process
projects  was  adjusted  to  reflect the relative value and contributions of the
required  research and development.  In doing so, consideration was given to the
stage  of  completion,  the  complexity  of  the  work  completed  to  date, the
difficulty  of  completing the remaining development costs already incurred, and
the  projected  cost  to complete projects.  The discount rate included a factor
that  takes  into  account the uncertainty surrounding successful development of
the  purchased  in-process  research  and  development.


5.     Discontinued  Operations  -

On  April 6, 1998, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary, ProfitKey.  The
disposition  of  ProfitKey  was  accounted for as a discontinued operation as of
March 31, 1998.  The Company received $464 at the closing and a $2,000 note from
the  buyer.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment to reflect any variance
in  working capital from a specified amount.  The buyer has notified the Company
that it believed there was a variance of $1,466, which would require a reduction
in  the  purchase  price  of that amount.  Based on information available to the
Company  at  this  time,  management believes that an adjustment, if any, is not
determinable  and  if  any is ultimately required, it should not have a material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company.  In  connection  with  the  sale, the Company
recorded  a loss from the discontinued operation of approximately $1,362 million
including  a  tax  expense  of  $519.



6.     Related  Party  Agreement

During  1995,  the  Company and Liraz entered into a custom computer programming
agreement  for  the joint development of certain software. Liraz and the Company
were  each  to  pay  50% of the total project development costs. In exchange for
providing  50%  of the project development costs, Liraz was to receive royalties
of  30%  of  the  first  $2,000  in  contract  revenue from the sale of products
developed  under  this  agreement,  20%  of  the next $1,000, and 8% thereafter.

On  April  1,  1998,  the  Company  and  Liraz  entered into an amendment to the
original  custom  computer  programming  agreement, whereby the original royalty
payment  provisions  were rescinded. Under the new agreement, the Company agreed
to  reimburse  Liraz's costs of development of $1,500 and to pay Liraz royalties
of  3%  of program revenues, as defined in the agreement, generated from January
1,  1998  until December 31, 2000. The Company issued a note to Liraz for $1,500
for  cost reimbursement pursuant to this agreement and is amortizing the cost of
reimbursement  over  the  term  of  the agreement.  The amortization of the cost
reimbursement is included as a component of cost of software in the consolidated
statement  of  operations.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


Results  of  Operations

Overview

     Level  8  Systems, Inc. ("Level 8") develops and sells proprietary vertical
application  software  packages  and  provides  software  consulting and support
services  to customers located primarily in the United States and Canada.  Level
8  Technologies,  Inc.  ("Level  8  Technologies")  is a wholly-owned subsidiary
specializing  in  transactional  messaging  middleware  and  distributed  object
technology.

     On  March  26,  1998,  Level  8 acquired all the stock of Momentum Software
Corporation  ("Momentum") for 594,866 shares of Level 8 common stock and 200,000
warrants,  subject  to  additional  consideration  based upon the Level 8 common
stock  price  on  December 1, 1998.  The results of Momentum are included in the
financial  statements  since  the  date  of  acquisition.

     On  April  6,  1998,  Level  8  sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, ProfitKey
International, Inc. ("ProfitKey").  The sale resulted in a loss of approximately
$1,362.  Level 8 recorded the loss in the first quarter of 1998 for the disposal
of  the business and the anticipated operating losses until disposal.  ProfitKey
is reported as a discontinued operation for 1998 and 1997, and, accordingly, the
loss from operations is recorded as a loss from a discontinued operation.  Level
8's  operating results for prior periods were restated to reflect the continuing
operations.

     In  connection with the sale of ProfitKey, the parties agreed to adjust the
purchase  price  to  reflect  any  variance  in ProfitKey's closing date working
capital  from  a  specified  amount.  The buyer has notified the Company that it
believed  there was a variance of $1,466, which would require a reduction in the
purchase price of that amount.  Based on information available to the Company at
this  time,  management believes that an adjustment, if any, is not determinable
and  should  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company.

     During  1995,  the  Company  and  Liraz  entered  into  a  custom  computer
programming  agreement  for the joint development of certain software. Liraz and
the  Company  were  each  to  pay 50% of the total project development costs. In
exchange  for  providing  50%  of  the  project  development costs, Liraz was to
receive  royalties  of 30% of the first $2,000 in contract revenue from the sale
of  products  developed  under  this  agreement,  20% of the next $1,000, and 8%
thereafter.  On  April  1, 1998, the Company and Liraz entered into an amendment
to  the  original  custom  computer  programming agreement, whereby the original
royalty  payment provisions were rescinded. Under the new agreement, the Company
agreed  to  reimburse  Liraz's  costs  of development of $1,500 and to pay Liraz
royalties of 3% of program revenues, as defined in the agreement, generated from
January  1, 1998 until December 31, 2000. The Company issued a note to Liraz for
$1,500  for  cost reimbursement pursuant to this agreement and is amortizing the
cost  of  reimbursement over the term of the agreement.  The amortization of the
cost  reimbursement  is  included  as  a  component  of  cost of software in the
consolidated  statement  of  operations.

     See Note 3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for
additional  information  regarding the restatement of the Company's consolidated
financial  statements.

Three  Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 1997

    Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was approximately $3,155 as
compared to $2,767 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $388
or  14%.  The  increase  is  primarily  related  to an increase from consulting,
services  and  maintenance  revenue  of  $701, of which $350 represents deferred
maintenance  revenue recognized in this period, offset by a decrease in software
product  and  other  revenue  of  $285  associated  with  MQSeries  licenses.

     Cost  of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was approximately
$1,575  as  compared  to  $1,265  for  the  three months ended June 30, 1997, an
increase  of $310 or 25%. The increase was due to Level 8 Technologies' increase
in the cost of consulting, services and maintenance of approximately $155, and a
$163  increase  in  the  cost  of  software  products.

     The  gross  margin  for  the  three  months  ended June 30, 1998 was 50% as
compared  to  54.3%  for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease was
due  primarily  to  an  increase  in cost of software related to amortization of
capitalized  software  and  the amortization of the cost reimbursement agreement
with  Liraz.

     Selling,  general,  and  administrative expenses for the three months ended
June  30, 1998 were approximately $3,808 as compared to approximately $1,267 for
the  three months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of approximately $2,541.  The
increase  is  a result of additional development expenses of approximately $820;
additional  operational  costs  associated  with  Momentum  of  $770; additional
amortization  of goodwill for Momentum of $428; acquisition research expenses of
$112;  and  other  overall  increases  of  $411.


Six  Months  Ended  June  30,  1998 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

     Revenue  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was approximately $6,248 as
compared  to  $5,620 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase of $628
or  11%.  The  increase  is  primarily  related  to  increases  from consulting,
services  and  maintenance  revenue of $1,080, of which $370 represents deferred
maintenance  revenue recognized in this period, and an increase in other revenue
of  $512,  offset  by  a  decrease in software product revenue of  $964 relating
primarily  to  lower  MQSeries  sales.

     Cost  of  revenue  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was approximately
$3,589 as compared to $2,918 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase
of  $671  or  23%. The increase was due to Level 8 Technologies' increase in the
cost  of  consulting, services and maintenance of approximately $887 offset by a
decrease  of  $177  in  the  purchase  of  MQSeries  products  for  resale.
The  gross  margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 43% as compared to
48% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The decrease was primarily due to a
gross  loss  in  software.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended June
30,  1998  were approximately $5,665 as compared to approximately $2,367 for the
six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  an  increase of approximately $3,298.  The
increase  is  a  result  of additional development expense of approximately $974
relating  to  new  product  development;  $182 in selling and marketing expenses
which  reflects the build-up of Level 8's sales organization; $850 of additional
operational  costs associated with Momentum; additional amortization of goodwill
for  Momentum  of  $428; capitalized software cost of $390; acquisition research
costs  totaling  $244;  and  other  overall  increases  of  $230.

     As  a  result of the acquisition of Momentum, the Company recorded a $1,200
nonrecurring  charge  for  purchased  in-process  research and development costs
based on the results of third-party appraisals. In the opinion of management and
the  appraiser,  the  acquired  in-process  research and development had not yet
reached  technological feasibility and had no alternative future uses. The value
of  the  in-process  projects  was  adjusted  to  reflect the relative value and
contribution  of  the acquired research and development. In doing so, management
gave  consideration  to  the  stage  of  completion,  the complexity of the work
completed  to date, the difficulty of completing the remaining development costs
already  incurred,  and  the  projected cost to complete the projects. The value
assigned  to  purchased  in-process  technology  was  based  on key assumptions,
including  revenue  growth  rates  for  each technology considering, among other
things, current and expected industry trends, acceptance of the technologies and
historical  growth  rates  for  similar  industry  products.

     Other  income  decreased by approximately $84 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 and  $44 for the three  months ended June 30, 1998 due to a decrease in
interest  income  from  fewer  funds  being invested and an increase of interest
expense  associated  with  long-term  debt.

     Income  taxes  represent  a  benefit  of  13.6% of the loss from continuing
operations  before  income  taxes.  The  rate  is  below  the  expected tax rate
primarily due to the non-deductibility of the purchased research and development
costs  of  $1,200,  and  a  valuation  allowance.

     The  loss on disposal from the discontinued operations of ProfitKey totaled
approximately  $1,362  including  a  tax  expense  of  $519.


Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources

     Continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 used
Net cash of approximately $99.  Level 8  used  approximately  $844 for investing
activities  in  the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1998 primarily as a result of
purchases  of  property  and equipment.  Continuing financing activities for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 used net cash of $263.  At June 30, 1998, Level 8
had  working capital of approximately $12,121 and a current ratio of 4.1.  Level
8 believes that the existing working capital and the anticipated funds generated
from  operations  will  be  sufficient  to  fund its working capital and capital
expenditure  requirements  at  least  through  the  end  of  1998.
