Investors should also consider the areas of risk described under the heading "Forward Looking Statements" and those factors
captioned as "Risk Factors" in the Company's periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company. These statements are subject to

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release of operating results also contains non-GAAP financial measures,
which SuperCom believes are the principal indicators of the operating and financial performance of its business. Management
believes the non-GAAP financial measures provided are useful to investors' understanding and assessment of the Company's on-going
core operations and prospects for the future, as the charges eliminated are not part of the day-to-day business or reflective of
the core operational activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a basis for strategic
decisions, forecasting future results and evaluating the Company's current performance. However, such measures should not
be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP
measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the schedules attached to this release.
