ITEM  7.     FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS,  PRO  FORMA  INFORMATION  AND  EXHIBITS

     Item  7.     Financial  Statements,  Pro  Forma  Financial Information, and
Exhibits  set  forth in Level 8 Systems, Inc.'s Form 8-K dated December 27, 1999
and  filed  on  January  11,  2000, is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:

          (a)     FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  OF  BUSINESS  ACQUIRED

     The  financial  statements required to be filed were previously reported in
Template  Software,  Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December  31,  1998  and  Quarterly  Report  on  Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September  30,  1999,  and  are  incorporated  herein  by  reference.


          (b)     PRO  FORMA  FINANCIAL  INFORMATION

     On  December  27,  1999, Level 8 Systems, Inc. ("Level 8" or the "Company")
completed  its  acquisition  of Template Software, Inc. ("Template").  Under the
terms of the merger agreement, each share of Template common stock was exchanged
for  $4.00  in  cash plus .2838 of a share worth of Level 8 common stock.  As of
December  24,  1999,  there  were  5,394,959  shares  of  Template  common stock
outstanding.  Template  stockholders  received  a  total  of  approximately
$21,579,000  in  cash and 1,531,089 shares of Level 8 common stock in connection
with  the  acquisition.  The  total  cost  of  the acquisition was approximately
$63,972,000  and  has  been  accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.
Additionally, options for approximately 1,124,023 shares of Level 8 common stock
were  issued  in  exchange  for  Template  stock  options  outstanding  at  the
acquisition  date.

     In  connection  with  the  acquisition, Level 8 obtained a $10 million term
loan  from a commercial lender.  The loan bears interest at the London Interbank
Offered  Rate  plus one percent, payable quarterly, and matures on May 31, 2001.
The  loan  is guaranteed by Liraz Systems, Ltd. ("Liraz"), Level 8's controlling
stockholder,  in  exchange for 60,000 shares of Level 8 common stock.  The value
of  these  shares  was  approximately  $1,207,500.

     The following unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations presents
the  pro  forma  effect  of  the acquisition of Template by Level 8 and the debt
financing  obtained  by  Level 8 in connection with the acquisition of Template.
The  pro  forma  combined  statement  of  operations  assumes  that the Template
business  combination  took  place  as of the beginning of the period presented.
The  unaudited  statement  of  operations  for  the year ended December 31, 1999
combines  Template's  unaudited  consolidated  statement  of  operations for the
period ended December 26, 1999 and Level 8's unaudited consolidated statement of
operations  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1999.  Template's  results  of
operations  are  included  in  the  historical Level 8 consolidated statement of
operations  for  the  year ended December 31, 1999 from the date of acquisition.

     On  December 31, 1998, Level 8, as the first step in its acquisition of the
entire equity interest in Seer Technologies, Inc., acquired beneficial ownership
of  approximately  69%  of  the  outstanding voting stock of Seer.  On April 15,
1999, the Company completed its cash tender offer for all the outstanding shares
of  common stock of Seer and acquired the remaining minority interest in Seer on
April  30,  1999  by  merger.  The  acquisition of Seer had a material impact on
Level  8's  business.  The pro forma statement of operations includes the effect
of  the  acquisition  of  the  remaining  31%  interest  in  Seer.

     The objective of the combined pro forma financial information is to provide
investors  with  information about the continuing impact of particular completed
or  probable transactions by indicating how the transactions might have affected
historical  financial  statements had they occurred at an earlier date.  The pro
forma  combined  statement  of operations is presented for illustrative purposes
only  and  is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for future
periods  or  the  results that actually would have been realized had Level 8 and
Template  been  a  combined  company  during  the  specified  periods.

     Level  8's  unaudited  balance  sheet as of December 31, 1999, reflects the
assets  and  liabilities  acquired  in  the Template acquisition on December 27,
1999.

     Prior to completing the acquisition, Level 8 had determined not to continue
with  certain  non-strategic  operations of Template in Germany and Austria.  At
the  time  of  merger, the Company had entered into an agreement in principle to
sell  the  assets  of these operations, principally its consulting workforce and
certain lease agreements.  Accordingly, these operations have been excluded from
the historical operations of Template for the period ended December 26, 1999 for
purposes  of the pro forma combined statement of operations.  As a percentage of
revenue, these operations accounted for 40% and 38% of revenue in 1999 and 1998,
respectively.  Level 8 has recorded the estimated fair value of these operations
at  the acquisition date based on its estimate of the net future cash flows from
the transactions and associated operations through the wind up period.  The fair
value  of  the  German and Austrian operating liability was estimated at $25,000
and  is  included  in  accrued  expenses in the balance sheet as of December 31,
1999.

consolidated  financial  statements of Level 8 and Template, including the notes

                Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements
                    (in thousands, except per share amounts)


NOTE  1.     BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

     The  unaudited balance sheet reflects the financial position of Level 8 and
Template  after  the recording of the acquisition of Template and closing of the
related  financing  which took place on December 27, 1999 and December 20, 1999,
respectively.

     The  pro  forma  combined  statement  of  operations  assumes  the business
combination  took  place  as  of  the  beginning  of  the period presented.  The
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 combines Template's
consolidated  statement of operations for the period ended December 26, 1999 and
Level  8's  consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999.  Template's results of operations are included in the unaudited historical
Level  8  consolidated  statement  of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999  from  the  date  of  acquisition.

     Level  8  pro  forma  adjustments  in  1999  are  to record the increase in
amortization of goodwill and purchased software based on the assumption that the
purchase of the remaining 31% of Seer's outstanding voting stock occurred before
January  1,  1999.

     On  a  combined  basis there were no material transactions between Template
and  Level  8  during  the  periods  presented.

     There  are  no  material  differences  between  the  accounting policies of
Template  and  Level  8.



NOTE  2.     GENERAL


     On  December  27,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  Template  Software,  Inc.
("Template").  Under  the  terms  of  the agreement, Level 8 purchased 5,394,959
shares  of  Template  common  stock  for $21,579 in cash and 1,531,089 shares of
Level  8  common  stock.  Additionally,  Level  8  also  issued  stock  options
exercisable  for 1,124,023 shares of the Company's common stock to assume all of
the  outstanding  Template stock options.  The total cost of the acquisition was
$63,972  and  has  been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.  The
operations  of  Template  are  included in the Company's consolidated results of
operations  from  the  date  of  acquisition.

     The  purchase  price  was  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  Template.  The  purchase  price exceeded the amounts allocated to
tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  less  liabilities  assumed  by
approximately  $44,371.  This  excess of the purchase price over the fair values
of  assets  acquired  less  liabilities  assumed  was  allocated  to  goodwill.

     Prior  to  completing  the  acquisition,  the Company had determined not to
continue  with  certain  non-strategic  operations  of  Template  in Germany and
Austria.  At  the  time  of merger, the Company had entered into an agreement in
principle  to  sell  the  assets of these operations, principally its consulting
workforce  and  certain lease agreements.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded
the  estimated  fair  value of these operations at the acquisition date based on
its  estimate  of the net future cash flows from the transactions and associated
operations  through  the  wind  up  period.  The  fair  value  of the German and
Austrian  operating  liability  was  estimated  at  $25  and  will  be  adjusted
prospectively  as  this  estimate  changes.

The  cost  of  the  acquisition  was  allocated  as  follows:

Approximately  $2,200  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 in areas for which technological
feasibility  had not been established.  The efforts considered included projects
related  to  Template's Enterprise Integration Template("EIT") product ($1,298),
and  projects  related  to  new versions of Template's Business Process Template
("BPT")  product  ($902).  The  value of the 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  difficulty  of completing the remaining development costs already incurred,
and  the  projected cost to complete the projects.  The discount rate included a
factor  that  takes  into  account  the  uncertainty  surrounding  successful
development  of  the  purchased  in-process  research  and  development.


NOTE  3.     PRO  FORMA  ADJUSTMENTS
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S>               <C>
(a)               Adjustments are to record annual amortization of intangible assets resulting from the allocation of purchase
                  price, as discussed in Note 2.   The estimated useful life of the intangible assets is considered to range from
                  three  to seven years.  The estimated annual amortization charge to income related to developed technology
                  resulting  from the purchase described above approximates $2,033.  The estimated annual amortization charge to
                  income related to goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from the purchase described above approximates
                  $7,312.  These charges are reflected in the pro forma combined statements of income.


(b)               Adjustments are to record interest expense incurred by Level 8 on the 10 million loan obtained in connection
                  with the acquisition.  The amount of interest expense incurred by Level 8 is computed assuming the funds were
                  received on January 1, 1999 and utilizing the current LIBOR rate plus one percent.


(c)               Adjustments are to record the amortization of the loan guaranty cost for the 60,000 shares issued to Liraz
                  Systems, Ltd. in exchange for their guarantee of the loan to finance the acquisition.  The cost of the guarantee
                  is being amortized over the term of the loan, which matures on May 31, 2001.


(d)               Adjustments are to record the increase in amortization of goodwill and purchased software based on the
                  assumption that the purchase of the remaining 31% of Seer's outstanding voting stock occurred before January 1,
                  1999.

(e)               Adjustments are to eliminate the income tax benefit previously recorded by Template during 1999.


(f)               Adjustments are to remove non-recurring items that are directly attributable to the transaction as per SEC
                  guidelines.

NOTE  4.     PRO  FORMA  EARNINGS  PER  COMMON  SHARE

     The  unaudited pro forma combined basic earnings per share data is computed
by  providing pro forma combined income per share by the weighted average number
of  common  shares  outstanding  and  the issuance of 1,531,089 shares of common
stock  to  Template  stockholders  and 60,000 shares of common stock to Liraz in
exchange  for  guarantee on the financing.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
not  presented  as  the  inclusion of options and other common stock equivalents
outstanding would be anti-dilutive.  Potentially dilutive securities outstanding
during the period presented for 1999 include preferred stock, stock options, and
stock  warrants.
