    2. All financial information is unaudited and reported in
    accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

    The Company believes this information, which is not in conformity
    with U.S. GAAP, is helpful supplemental information in order to
    better understand its past and future performance. In addition,
    the Company's management uses this information in its planning.

    3. The Company uses constant currency revenue growth to evaluate
    its financial performance in comparison to prior periods and as a
    measure of expected growth in planning and setting objectives for
    future periods. The Company believes this measure is an important
    indicator of the Company's progress and outlook because it
    provides a better gauge of the level of change in the business
    activity as it eliminates any changes arising from currency
    fluctuations. The Company believes the presentation of this
    measure is relevant and useful for investors because it allows
    investors to view revenue growth in a manner similar to the method
    used by the Company's management, helps improve investors' ability
    to understand the Company's revenue growth, and makes it easier to
    compare the Company's results with other companies, including
    competitors, whose reporting currency may be different from
    Dassault Systemes. Constant currency revenue growth, as calculated
    by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
    employed by other companies.
