Verisity Announces Preliminary First Quarter Results And Webcast

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA – April 2, 2004 – Verisity, Ltd. (Nasdaq:VRST), the leading supplier of Verification Process Automation (VPA) solutions, today announced that based on a preliminary analysis of its results for the quarter ending March 31, 2004, it expects to report revenue of approximately $10.2 million. Based upon this revenue forecast, the Company now expects to report earnings per fully diluted share of $0.00 to $0.01. These statements do not include guidance relating to Axis Systems, Inc., that was acquired on February 9, 2004.

"While we continued to see an increase in overall design activity, customers’ development budgets remained constrained. As a result, we received less than expected revenue from perpetual licenses as customers shifted to the more affordable time-based license model, and some orders that we expected in March were delayed," said Moshe Gavrielov, Chief Executive Officer of Verisity. "As the leader in verification solutions, we are very confident in our strategy and product offerings. The key technologies attained from acquiring Axis Systems, further broaden our addressable market. The integration is going well and we look forward to delivering more comprehensive integrated solutions to our customers and the financial benefits associated with our growth strategy."

Verisity will host a conference call today at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time, regarding this announcement. The live webcast of the call will be available on the investor relations page of Verisity's Web site at http://www.verisity.com.
