Use of non-GAAP financial information

In addition to disclosure of financial results calculated in accordance with
In accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this publication of operating results also contains non-GAAP financial statements.
These measures, judged by SuperCom, are the main indicators of the operational and financial performance of its activity. Management
believes that non-GAAP financial measures are useful for investor understanding and evaluation
basic operations and future prospects, as the eliminated charges are not part of daily activities or do not reflect
the main operational activities of the Company. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as a basis
decisions, forecasting future results and evaluating the Company's current performance. However, these measures should not
be considered in isolation or in lieu of results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP
the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying tables.
