    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains forward-looking statements that
contain risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
contain statements of intent, belief or current expectations of Lawson
Software and its management. Such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future results and involve risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from the potential
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The company is
not obligated to update forward-looking statements based on
circumstances or events that occur in the future. Risks and
uncertainties that may cause such differences include but are not
limited to: uncertainties in Lawson's ability to realize synergies and
revenue opportunities anticipated from the Intentia International
acquisition; uncertainties in the software industry; uncertainties as
to when and whether the conditions for the recognition of deferred
revenue will be satisfied; global military conflicts; terrorist
attacks; pandemics, and any future events in response to these
developments; changes in conditions in the company's targeted
industries; increased competition and other risk factors listed in the
company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Lawson assumes no obligation to
update any forward-looking information contained in this press
release.

    Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

    In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Lawson Software
reports non-GAAP financial results. These non-GAAP results exclude
amortization of all acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of
purchased maintenance contracts, Intentia integration costs,
restructuring charges, certain stock-based compensation expenses and
other expenses. In addition, Lawson's non-GAAP financial results
include pro forma revenue for maintenance contracts acquired in the
Intentia acquisition for which the deferred revenue on Intentia's
balance sheet has been eliminated from GAAP results as part of the
purchase accounting for the acquisition. Lawson's management believes
the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are useful to
investors because they provide supplemental information that research
analysts frequently use to analyze software companies that have
recently made significant acquisitions. Management uses these non-GAAP
measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage
expenditures. The method Lawson uses to produce non-GAAP results is
not computed according to GAAP, may differ from the methods used by
other companies, and should not be regarded as a replacement for
corresponding GAAP measures. Investors are encouraged to review the
reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP results, which is attached to this release.
