                                  $450,000,000

                                 AMDOCS LIMITED

                     0.50% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2024
        10,435,995 ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THE NOTES

                        -------------------------------

         Amdocs Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Island of
Guernsey, issued $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 0.50%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 in a private placement on March 5, 2004 to the
initial purchasers. The initial purchasers resold the notes to qualified
institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. This prospectus will be used by the selling securityholders
from time to time to resell their notes and any ordinary shares issuable upon
conversion of the notes. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
notes or any ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes offered by
this prospectus.

         The notes bear regular interest at 0.50% per annum on the principal
amount from March 5, 2004. Regular interest is payable semi-annually on March 15
and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2004. The notes are
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Amdocs Limited and will rank equal
in priority with all of its other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of its
existing and future subordinated indebtedness.

         Holders may convert each note for a number of ordinary shares, which we
refer to as the conversion rate, as follows:

         -    during any fiscal quarter commencing after March 31, 2004, and
              only during that quarter if the closing sale price of our ordinary
              shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20
              trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last
              trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter (initially 130% of
              $43.12, or $56.06),

         -    upon the occurrence of specified credit rating events with respect
              to the notes;

         -    subject to certain exceptions, during the five business day period
              after any five consecutive trading day period (the "measurement
              period") in which the trading price per note for each day of that
              measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the closing
              sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate;
              provided, however, holders may not convert their notes (in
              reliance on this subsection) if on any trading day during such
              measurement period the closing sale price of our ordinary shares
              was between 100% and 130% of the then current conversion price of
              the notes (initially, between $43.12 and $56.06),

         -    if the notes have been called for redemption, or

         -    upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under
              "Description of Notes--Conversion of Notes--Conversion Upon
              Specified Corporate Transactions."

         Beginning March 20, 2009, we may redeem any of the notes at a
redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest. Holders may require us to repurchase some or all of their notes
at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, on March 15 of 2009, 2014 and
2019 or at any time prior to their maturity following a designated event, as
defined herein.



         The initial conversion rate for the notes is 23.1911 ordinary shares
per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment as described in this
prospectus, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $43.12
per share.


         Our ordinary shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "DOX." On September 20, 2004, the closing sale price of our ordinary
shares on the New York Stock Exchange was $22.97 per share. You are urged to

         This summary highlights selected information about us and the notes and
is not intended to be complete. It does not contain all the information that you
should consider before investing in the notes. You should read carefully this
entire prospectus, including "Risk Factors" and our consolidated financial

                                 AMDOCS LIMITED

         Our market focus is primarily the communications industry, and we are a
leading provider of software products and services to major communications
companies in North America, Europe and the rest of the world. Our products and
services provide an integrated approach to customer management, which we refer
to as Integrated Customer Management. Our Integrated Customer Management product
offerings consist primarily of billing and customer relationship management
systems, which we refer to, collectively, as CC&B Systems. Our portfolio also
includes a full range of directory sales and publishing systems for publishers
of both traditional printed yellow page and white page directories and
electronic Internet directories.

         Our Integrated Customer Management systems are designed to meet the
mission-critical needs of leading communications service providers, which
include customer relationship management, order management, call rating, invoice
calculation and preparation, bill formatting, collections, partner relationship
management and directory publishing services. We support a wide range of
communications services, including wireline, wireless, voice, data, broadband,
content, electronic and mobile commerce and Internet Protocol based services. We
also support companies that offer multiple service packages, commonly referred
to as bundled or convergent services. Due to the complexity of our customers'
projects and the expertise required for system support, we also provide
extensive system implementation, integration, modification, ongoing support,
enhancement and maintenance services. In addition, we offer Managed Services,
which include a combination of services, such as system modernization and
consolidation, management and operation of data centers, purchase and management
of related hardware assets, billing operations and application support.


         Since the inception of our business in 1982, we have concentrated on
providing software products and services to major communications companies. By
focusing on this market, we believe that we have been able to develop the
innovative products and the industry expertise, project management skills and
technological competencies required for the advanced, large-scale,
specifications-intensive system projects typical of leading communications
providers. Our customer base includes major North American, European and other
communications companies, including major wireline companies and wireless
companies.



         Our goal is to provide advanced information technology software
products and related customer service and support to the world's leading
communications companies. We seek to accomplish our goal by pursuing the
strategies described below.


         -    Continued Focus on the Communications Industry. We intend to
              continue to concentrate our main resources and efforts on
              providing strategic information systems to the communications
              industry. This strategy has enabled us to develop the specialized
              industry know-how and capability necessary to deliver the
              technologically advanced, large-scale, specifications-intensive
              information systems solutions required by the leading
              communications companies in the wireless, wireline and convergent
              service sectors.


         -    Target Industry Leaders. We intend to continue to direct our
              marketing efforts principally towards the major communications
              companies. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from
              our customer base of major communications companies in North
              America, Europe


                                       1



              and the Asia-Pacific region. We believe that the development of
              this premier customer base has helped position us as a market
              leader, while contributing to the core strength of our business.
              By targeting industry leaders that require the most sophisticated
              information systems solutions, we believe that we are best able to
              ensure that we remain at the forefront of developments in the
              industry.


         -    Deliver Integrated Products and Services Solutions. Our strategy
              is to provide customers with total systems solutions consisting of
              our Integrated Customer Management products and our specialized
              services. By leveraging our product and industry knowledge, we
              believe that we can provide effective system integration and
              implementation services as well as Managed Services to our
              customers.

         -    Provide Customers with a Broad, Integrated Suite of Products. We
              seek to provide our customers with a broad suite of products to
              meet all their Integrated Customer Management needs. For
              communications service providers, we seek to provide CC&B Systems
              across all lines of their business, such as wireline, mobile and
              data. This approach also means that we can support global
              communications service providers throughout their various
              international operations. We believe that our ability to provide a
              broad suite of products helps establish us as a strategic partner
              for our customers, and also provides us with multiple avenues for
              strengthening and expanding our ongoing customer relationships.

         -    Maintain and Develop Long-Term Customer Relationships. We seek to
              maintain and develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships
              with our customers. These relationships generally involve
              additional product sales, as well as ongoing support, system
              enhancement and maintenance services. We believe that such
              relationships are facilitated in many cases by the
              mission-critical strategic nature of the systems provided by us
              and by the added value we provide through our specialized skills
              and knowledge. In addition, our strategy is to solidify our
              existing customer relationships by means of long-term support and
              maintenance contracts.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         On May 3, 2004, we announced a cash offer for our 2% Convertible Notes
Due June 1, 2008, which we refer to as the 2% Notes. Pursuant to the indenture
for the 2% Notes, each holder of the 2% Notes had the right to require us to
repurchase on June 1, 2004 all or any part of such holder's 2% Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Under
the terms of the 2% Notes, we had the option to pay for the 2% Notes with cash,
ordinary shares, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, and we elected to
pay for the 2% Notes solely with cash. As of April 30, 2004, there was $395.5
million aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding.

         On June 1, 2004, we announced that the offer had expired and that we
had accepted for purchase $395,110,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2%
Notes, which constituted all of the 2% Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn,
at a purchase price of $1,000 per $1,000 of principal amount of the 2% Notes.
Payment for the 2% Notes was made with available cash. The untendered principal
amount of 2% Notes remain as obligations of the Company, due June 1, 2008, in
accordance with their terms.

         On July 28, 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors had extended
our share repurchase program for the additional repurchase of up to $100 million
of our ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions and
at times and prices we deem appropriate. In accordance with this extension, as
of September 21, 2004, we had repurchased approximately 4.9 million ordinary
shares, at an average price of $20.40 per share.

                                    the credit rating assigned to the notes by
                                    Standard & Poor's or Moody's is "BB-" or

                                    "measurement period") in which the trading
                                    price per note for each day of that
                                    measurement period was less than 98% of the
                                    product of the closing sale price of our
                                    ordinary shares and the number of shares
                                    issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal
                                    amount of the notes; provided, however, you
                                    may not convert your notes (in reliance on
                                    this subsection) if on any trading day
                                    during such measurement period the closing
                                    sale price of our ordinary shares was
                                    between 100% and 130% of the then current
                                    conversion price of the notes; or

                           -        if the notes have been called for
                                    redemption; or

                           -        upon the occurrence of specified corporate
                                    events described under "Description of

                           You will not receive any cash payment or additional
                           shares representing accrued and unpaid interest upon
                           conversion of a note, except in limited
                           circumstances. Instead, such interest, if any, will
                           be forfeited upon conversion. Notes called for
                           redemption may be converted until the close of
                           business on the business day immediately preceding
                           the redemption date, after which time your right to
                           convert will expire unless we default in the payment
                           of the redemption price.

Sinking Fund ..........    None.

Optional Redemption ...    Prior to March 20, 2009, the notes will not be
                           redeemable, except as described under "Description of
                           Notes - Tax Redemption." On or after March 20, 2009,
                           we may redeem any of the notes by giving you at least
                           30 days' notice. We may redeem the notes either in
                           whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100%
                           of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
                           interest and liquidated damages, if any, to, but
                           excluding, the date of repurchase.

Designated Event ......    If a designated event (as described under
                           "Description of Notes--Repurchase at Option of the
                           Holder Upon a Designated Event") occurs prior to
                           maturity, you may require us to purchase all or part
                           of your notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of
                           their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
                           interest and liquidated damages, if any, to, but
                           excluding, the date of repurchase.

Repurchase at the Option
    of the Holder .....    You may require us to repurchase some or all of your
                           notes on March 15 of 2009, 2014 and 2019, at a
                           repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal
                           amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
                           liquidated damages, if any, to, but excluding, the
                           applicable repurchase date. We may choose to pay the
                           repurchase price in cash or ordinary shares (valued
                           using the method set forth in "Description of
                           Notes--Repurchase at Option of the Holder") or a
                           combination of cash and ordinary shares, provided
                           that we will pay any accrued and unpaid interest in
                           cash.

                                       4


Use of Proceeds .......    We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the
                           selling securityholders of the notes or the ordinary
                           shares issuable upon conversion of the notes.

Registration Rights ...    Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we have
                           agreed to register the resale of the notes and the
                           ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the
                           notes. If we fail to comply with certain of our
                           obligations under the registration rights agreement,
                           liquidated damages will be payable on the notes and
                           the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the
                           notes. See "Description of Notes--Registration
                           Rights."

Book-entry Form .......    The notes have been issued in book-entry form and are
                           represented by global certificates deposited with, or
                           on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, or DTC,
                           and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.
                           Beneficial interests in any of the notes will be
                           shown on, and transfers will be effected only
                           through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee and
                           any such interest may not be exchanged for
                           certificated securities, except in limited
                           circumstances.

Trading ...............    The notes are new securities for which no market
                           currently exists. While the initial purchasers have
                           informed us that they intend to make a market in the
                           notes, they are under no obligation to do so and may
                           discontinue such activities at any time without
                           notice. The notes are listed on any securities
                           exchange or included in any automated quotation
                           system. While the notes are expected to be designated
                           for trading in The PORTAL Market, we cannot assure
                           you that any active or liquid market will develop for
                           the notes.

(1)      In fiscal 2000, we recorded acquisition-related charges of $75,617,
         relating to our acquisitions of International Telecommunication Data
         Systems, Inc. in November 1999 and Solect Technology Group Inc. in
         April 2000, in stock-for-stock transactions. These charges included
         write-offs of purchased in-process research and development and other
         indirect acquisition-related costs.

(2)      In fiscal 2002, we recorded acquisition-related charges for in-process
         research and development of $17,400, relating to our November 2001
         acquisition from Nortel Networks Corporation of substantially all of
         the assets of its Clarify business for cash. We also recorded
         restructuring charges of $34,230 relating to the closure of our

         ownership interest in Certen Inc. for cash. Prior to this acquisition,
         we had 10% ownership interest in Certen. This charge reflects our 10%
         share in Certen's pre-acquisition results.


(4)      In November 2001, our Board of Directors approved a twelve-month share
         repurchase program and authorized us to repurchase ordinary shares.
         During fiscal 2002, we repurchased 7,732 ordinary shares, at an average
         price of $14.13 per share. During fiscal 2003, we did not repurchase
         any ordinary shares. On November 5, 2003, our Board of Directors
         approved an additional twelve-month share repurchase program to
         purchase up to 5,000 ordinary shares. In accordance with this program,
         as of December 31, 2003, we had repurchased an additional 4,990
         ordinary shares, at an average price of $24.82 per share. In connection
         with our acquisition of XACCT Technologies Ltd., our Board of Directors
         approved the repurchase of ordinary shares to offset the dilutive
         effect of share issuances in the acquisition. The closing of the
         acquisition occurred in February 2004, and we repurchased 485 ordinary
         shares in February 2004. On July 28, 2004, we announced that our Board
         of Directors had extended our share repurchase program for the
         additional repurchase of up to $100 million of our ordinary shares in
         open market or privately negotiated transactions and at times and
         prices we deem appropriate. In accordance with this extension, as of
         August 31, 2004, we had repurchased approximately 4.0 million ordinary
         shares, at an average price of $20.30 per share.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

         The following table presents our historical ratios of earnings to fixed

(1)      The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents the number of times
         "fixed charges" are covered by "earnings." "Fixed charges" means
         interest expense, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized
         expenses related to indebtedness, and an estimate of the interest
         within rental expense. "Earnings" consist of consolidated net income
         from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition
to the other information presented in this prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in evaluating our business and an
investment in the notes and our ordinary shares. Any of the following risks, as
well as other risks and uncertainties, could seriously harm our business and
financial results and cause the value of the notes and ordinary shares issuable
upon conversion of the notes to decline, which in turn could cause you to lose
all or part of your investment.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

     WE ARE EXPOSED TO GENERAL GLOBAL ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS,
     PARTICULARLY THOSE IMPACTING THE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY.


         Developments in the communications industry, such as the impact of
general global economic conditions, continued industry consolidation, the
formation of alliances among network operators and service providers, and
changes in the regulatory environment have had, and could continue to have, a
material adverse effect on our existing or potential customers. These conditions
have reduced the high growth rates that the communications industry had
previously experienced, and have caused the market value, financial results and
prospects, and capital spending levels of many communications companies to
decline or degrade. In recent years, the communications industry has experienced
significant financial pressures that have caused many in the industry to cut
expenses and limit investment in capital intensive projects and have led to
numerous restructurings and bankruptcies.



         The need for communications providers to control operating expenses and
capital investment budgets has resulted in slowed customer buying decisions, as
well as price pressures. Due to adverse conditions in the business environment
for communications companies, our revenues declined in the second half of fiscal
2002 and continued to decline in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. As a result,
we undertook restructuring programs in fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003 to reduce
costs. Adverse market conditions could continue to have a negative impact on our
business by reducing the number of new contracts we are able to sign and the
size of initial spending commitments, as well as decreasing the level of
discretionary spending under contracts with existing customers. In addition, a
further slowdown in the buying decisions of communications providers could
extend our sales cycle period and limit our ability to forecast our flow of new
contracts.



     IF WE FAIL TO ADAPT TO CHANGING MARKET CONDITIONS AND CANNOT COMPETE
     SUCCESSFULLY WITH EXISTING OR NEW COMPETITORS, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE
     HARMED.



         We may be unable to compete successfully with existing or new
competitors. If we fail to adapt to changing market conditions and to compete
successfully with established or new competitors, it could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We face
intense competition for the software products and services that we sell,
including competition for Managed Services we provide to customers under
long-term service agreements. These Managed Services include a combination of
services, such as system modernization and consolidation, management and
operation of data centers, purchase and management of related hardware assets,
billing operations and application support.


         The market for communications information systems is highly competitive
and fragmented, and we expect competition to increase. We compete with
independent providers of information systems and services and with the in-house
software departments of communications companies. Our competitors include firms
that provide comprehensive information systems and Managed Services solutions,
software vendors that sell products for particular aspects of a total
information system, software vendors that specialize in systems for particular
communications services such as Internet and wireless services, systems
integrators, service bureaus and companies that offer software systems in
combination with the sale of network equipment.

         We believe that our ability to compete depends on a number of factors,
including:

         -     the development by others of software that is competitive with
               our products and services,

         -     the price at which others offer competitive software and
               services,

         -     the responsiveness of our competitors to customer needs, and

         -     the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate key
               personnel.

         We compete with a number of companies that have long operating
histories, large customer bases, substantial financial, technical, sales,
marketing and other resources, and strong name recognition. Current and
potential competitors have established, and may establish in the future,
cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase
their ability to address the needs of our

                                       9


prospective customers. In addition, our competitors have acquired, and may
continue to acquire in the future, companies that may enhance their market
offerings. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances among competitors may
emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. As a result, our
competitors may be able to adapt more quickly than us to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements, and may be able to devote
greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new
competitors. Failure by us to adapt to changing market conditions and to compete
successfully with established or new competitors may have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


     IF WE DO NOT CONTINUALLY ENHANCE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICE OFFERINGS, WE MAY
     HAVE DIFFICULTY RETAINING EXISTING CUSTOMERS AND ATTRACTING NEW CUSTOMERS


         We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant
extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing products and to introduce new
products and features to meet the requirements of our customers in a rapidly
developing and evolving market. We are currently devoting significant resources
to refining and expanding our base software modules and to developing Integrated
Customer Management products that operate in state-of-the-art computing
environments. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving needs
of the communications industry. If we are unable to anticipate or respond
adequately to such needs, due to resource, technological or other constraints,
our business and results of operations could be harmed.

     WE MAY SEEK TO ACQUIRE COMPANIES OR TECHNOLOGIES, WHICH COULD DISRUPT OUR
     ONGOING BUSINESS, DISTRACT OUR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES AND ADVERSELY
     AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         We may acquire companies where we believe we can acquire new products
or services or otherwise enhance our market position or strategic strengths. We
cannot assure you that suitable acquisition candidates can be found, that
acquisitions can be consummated on favorable terms or that we will be able to
complete otherwise favorable acquisitions because of antitrust or other
regulatory concerns. If we do complete acquisitions, we cannot assure you that
they will ultimately enhance our products or strengthen our competitive
position. In addition, any acquisitions that we make could lead to difficulties
in integrating personnel and operations from the acquired businesses and in
retaining and motivating key personnel from these businesses. Acquisitions may
disrupt our ongoing operations, divert management from day-to-day
responsibilities, increase our expenses and harm our results of operations or
financial condition.


     OUR BUSINESS IS DEPENDENT ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS, AND
     THE LOSS OF ANY ONE OF OUR SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS COULD HARM OUR RESULTS OF
     OPERATIONS.



         Our business is highly dependent on a limited number of significant
customers. Our three largest groups of customers are comprised of Bell Canada,
Nextel Communications, Inc. ("Nextel") and SBC Communications Inc. ("SBC") and
certain of their subsidiaries, each of which accounted for more than 10% of our
revenue in fiscal 2003. Aggregate revenue derived from the multiple business
arrangements we have with our five largest customer groups accounted for
approximately 55% of our revenue in fiscal 2003. SBC has historically been one
of our largest shareholders, and, as of August 31, 2004, it beneficially owned
approximately 7.3% of our outstanding ordinary shares. The loss of any
significant customer or a significant decrease in business from any such
customer could harm our results of operations and financial condition.




         Although we have received a substantial portion of our revenue from
recurring business with established customers, most of our major customers do
not have any obligation to purchase additional products or services from us and
generally have already acquired fully paid licenses to their installed systems.
Therefore, our customers may not continue to purchase new systems, system
enhancements or services in amounts similar to previous years or may delay
implementation of committed projects, each of which could reduce our revenues
and profits.




     OUR FUTURE SUCCESS WILL DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP LONG-TERM
     RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS AND TO MEET THEIR EXPECTATIONS IN
     PROVIDING PRODUCTS AND PERFORMING SERVICES.


         We believe that our future success will depend to a significant extent
on our ability to develop long-term relationships with successful network
operators and service providers with the financial and

                                       10


other resources required to invest in significant ongoing Integrated Customer
Management systems. If we are unable to develop new customer relationships, our
business will be harmed. In addition, our business and results of operations
depend in part on our ability to provide high quality services to customers that
have already implemented our products. If we are unable to meet customers'
expectations in providing products or performing services, our business and
results of operations could be harmed.

     WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO THE CREDIT RISK OF CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN ADVERSELY
     AFFECTED BY WEAKENED MARKETS.

         We typically sell our software and related services as part of
long-term projects. During the life of a project, a customer's budgeting
constraints can impact the scope of a project and the customer's ability to make
required payments. In addition, the creditworthiness of our customers may
deteriorate over time, and we can be adversely affected by bankruptcies or other
business failures.


     THE SKILLED AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES THAT WE NEED TO DEVELOP,
     IMPLEMENT AND MODIFY OUR SOLUTIONS MAY BE DIFFICULT TO HIRE AND RETAIN, AND
     IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN SUCH PERSONNEL, WE COULD FACE INCREASED
     COSTS TO RETAIN OUR SKILLED EMPLOYEES.



         Our business operations depend in large part on our ability to attract,
train, motivate and retain highly skilled information technology professionals,
software programmers and communications engineers. In addition, our competitive
success will depend on our ability to attract and retain other outstanding,
highly qualified employees. Although we made reductions in our workforce in
fiscal 2002 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, we continually need to hire
sales, support, technical and other personnel. Because our software products are
highly complex and are generally used by our customers to perform critical
business functions, we depend heavily on skilled technology professionals.
Skilled technology professionals are often in high demand and short supply. If
we are unable to hire or retain qualified technology professionals to develop,
implement and modify our solutions, we may be unable to meet the needs of our
customers. In addition, if we were to obtain several new customers or implement
several new large-scale projects in a short period of time, we may need to
attract and train additional employees at a rapid rate. We may face difficulties
identifying and hiring qualified personnel. Our inability to hire and retain the
appropriate personnel could increase our costs of retaining skilled employees
and make it difficult for us to manage our operations, to meet our commitments
and to compete for new customer contracts.



         Our success will also depend, to a certain extent, upon the continued
active participation of a relatively small group of senior management personnel.
The loss of the services of all or some of these executives could harm our
operations and impair our efforts to expand our business.



     OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE, AND A DECLINE IN REVENUE IN
     ANY QUARTER COULD RESULT IN LOWER PROFITABILITY FOR THAT QUARTER AND
     FLUCTUATIONS IN THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES.


         We have experienced fluctuations in our quarterly operating results and
anticipate that such movement may continue and could intensify. Fluctuations may
result from many factors, including:

         -     the size and timing of significant customer projects and license
               fees,

         -     delays in or cancellations of significant projects by customers,

         -     changes in operating expenses,

         -     increased competition,

         -     changes in our strategy,

         -     personnel changes,

         -     foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and

         -     general economic and political conditions.

         Generally, our license fee revenue and our service fee revenue relating
to customization and modification are recognized as work is performed, using
percentage of completion accounting. Given our reliance on a limited number of
significant customers, our quarterly results may be significantly affected by
the size and timing of customer projects and our progress in completing such
projects.

         We believe that the placement of customer orders may be concentrated in
specific quarterly periods due to the time requirements and budgetary
constraints of our customers. Although we recognize revenue as projects
progress, progress may vary significantly from project to project, and we
believe that variations in quarterly revenue are sometimes attributable to the
timing of initial order placements. Due

                                       11



to the relatively fixed nature of certain of our costs, a decline of revenue in
any quarter could result in lower profitability for that quarter. In addition,
fluctuations in our quarterly operating results could cause significant
fluctuations in the market price of our ordinary shares.



     OUR REVENUE, EARNINGS AND PROFITABILITY ARE IMPACTED BY THE LENGTH OF OUR
     SALES CYCLE, AND A LONGER SALES CYCLE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF
     OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.



         Our business is directly affected by the length of our sales cycle.
Information systems for communications companies are relatively complex and
their purchase generally involves a significant commitment of capital, with
attendant delays frequently associated with large capital expenditures and
procurement procedures within an organization. The purchase of these types of
products typically also requires coordination and agreement across many
departments within a potential customer's organization. Delays associated with
such timing factors could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition. In periods of economic slowdown in the
communications industry, our typical sales cycle lengthens, which means that the
average time between our initial contact with a prospective customer and the
signing of a sales contract increases. Beginning in the second half of fiscal
2002, buying decisions of communications providers were often delayed due to
adverse conditions in the business environment, and our sales cycle period
lengthened as a result. The lengthening of our sales cycle could reduce growth
in our revenue in the future. In addition, the lengthening of our sales cycle
contributes to an increased cost of sales, thereby reducing our profitability.


     IF THE MARKET FOR OUR PRODUCTS DETERIORATES, WE MAY INCUR ADDITIONAL
     RESTRUCTURING CHARGES.

         In an effort to implement long-term cost reduction measures, we reduced
our workforce in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and in the first quarter of
fiscal 2003 and reallocated certain personnel among different areas of our
operations. A reduction in personnel can result in significant severance,
administrative and legal expenses and may also adversely affect or delay various
sales, marketing and product development programs and activities. Depending on
market conditions in the communications industry and our business and financial
needs, we may be forced to implement additional restructuring plans to further
reduce our costs, which could result in additional restructuring charges.
Additional restructuring charges could have a material adverse effect on our
financial results.

     IF WE FAIL TO SUCCESSFULLY PLAN AND MANAGE CHANGES IN THE SIZE OF OUR
     OPERATIONS OUR BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.

         Over the last several years, we have both grown and contracted our
operations in order to profitably offer our products and services in a rapidly
changing market. If we are unable to manage these changes and plan and manage
any future changes in the size and scope of our operations, our business will
suffer.

         Our restructurings and cost reduction measures reduced the size of our
operations. On February 29, 2004, we employed approximately 9,000 individuals in
software and information technology positions, compared to approximately 7,800
on January 31, 2003 and 9,100 on November 30, 2001. Our software and information
technology workforce increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003 and first
quarter of fiscal 2004, primarily as a result of the Certen acquisition in July
2003 and a Managed Services agreement signed in January 2003. During periods of
contraction, we disposed of office space and related obligations in an effort to
keep pace with the changing size of our operations. Our recent cost reduction
measures included consolidating and/or relocating certain of our operations to
different geographic locations. These activities could lead to difficulties and
significant expenses related to subleasing or assigning any surplus space. We
have accrued the estimated expenses that will result from our restructuring
efforts. However, if it is determined that the amount accrued is insufficient,
an additional charge could have an unfavorable impact on our consolidated
financial statements in the period this was determined.


     OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE EXPOSES US TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VARIED AND
     CHANGING POLITICAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS WORLDWIDE.


         We are affected by risks associated with conducting business
internationally. We maintain development facilities in Israel, the United
States, Cyprus, Ireland and Canada, operate a support center in Brazil and have
operations in North America, Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.
Although a majority of our revenue is derived from customers in North America
and Europe, we obtain

                                       12


significant revenue from customers in the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America.
Our strategy is to continue to broaden our North American and European customer
base and to expand into new international markets. Conducting business
internationally exposes us to certain risks inherent in doing business in
international markets, including:

         -     lack of acceptance of non-localized products,

         -     legal and cultural differences in the conduct of business,

         -     difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations,

         -     longer payment cycles,

         -     difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and withholding
               taxes that limit the repatriation of earnings,

         -     trade barriers,

         -     immigration regulations that limit our ability to deploy our
               employees,

         -     political instability, and

         -     variations in effective income tax rates among countries where we
               conduct business.

         One or more of these factors could have a material adverse effect on
our international operations, which could harm our results of operations and
financial condition.


     POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT
     OUR BUSINESS AND OUR DEVELOPMENT FACILITY IN CYPRUS MAY BE ADVERSELY
     AFFECTED BY POLITICAL CONDITIONS IN THAT COUNTRY.


         Of the five development centers we maintain worldwide, our largest
development center is located in five different sites throughout Israel.
Approximately half of our employees are located in Israel. As a result, we are
directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting
Israel and its neighboring region. Any major hostilities involving Israel could
have a material adverse effect on our business. We have developed contingency
plans to provide ongoing services to our customers in the event political or
military conditions disrupt our normal operations. These plans include the
transfer of some development operations within Israel to various of our other
sites both within and outside of Israel. If we have to implement these plans,
our operations would be disrupted and we would incur significant additional
expenditures, which would adversely affect our business and results of
operations.

         While Israel has entered into peace agreements with both Egypt and
Jordan, Israel has not entered into peace arrangements with any other
neighboring countries. Over the past three years there has been a significant
deterioration in Israel's relationship with the Palestinian Authority and a
related increase in violence. Efforts to resolve the problem have failed to
result in an agreeable solution. Continued violence between the Palestinian
community and Israel may have a material adverse effect on our business. Further
deterioration of relations with the Palestinian Authority might require more
military reserve service by some of our employees, which may have a material
adverse effect on our business.


         In addition, our development facility in Cyprus may be adversely
affected by political conditions in that country. As a result of intercommunal
strife between the Greek and Turkish communities, Turkish troops invaded Cyprus
in 1974 and continue to occupy approximately 40% of the island. Although Cyprus
recently joined the European Union, intensive discussions facilitated by the
United Nations, the European Union and the United States have not resulted in an
agreed-upon plan of reunification for Cyprus. Any major hostilities between
Cyprus and Turkey or the failure of the parties to finalize a peaceful
resolution may have a material adverse effect on our development facility in
Cyprus.


                                       13



     OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS EXPOSE US TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
     FLUCTUATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT
     OUR BUSINESS.



         Although approximately half of our employees are located in Israel and
we have operations throughout the world, the majority of our revenues and costs
are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, we consider the
U.S. dollar to be our functional currency. However, a significant portion of our
operating costs is incurred outside the United States in other currencies.
Therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which such
costs are incurred and the dollar may have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial condition. The cost of our operations
outside of the United States, as expressed in dollars, could be adversely
affected by the extent to which any increase in the rate of inflation in a
particular country is not offset (or is offset with a time delay) by a
devaluation of the local currency in relation to the dollar. As a result of this
differential, from time to time we may experience increases in the costs of our
operations outside the United States, as expressed in dollars, which could have
a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.



         In addition, a portion of our revenue (approximately 20% in fiscal
2003) is not incurred in dollars or linked to the dollar, and, therefore,
fluctuations in exchange rates between the currencies in which such revenue is
incurred and the dollar may have a material effect on our results of operations
and financial condition. If more of our customers seek contracts that are
denominated in currencies such as the euro and not the dollar, our exposure to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates could increase.


         Generally, the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates are mitigated by the fact that the majority of our revenue and operating
costs is in dollars or linked to the dollar and we generally hedge our currency
exposure on both a short-term and long-term basis with respect to expected
revenue and operating costs. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able
to effectively limit all of our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

         The imposition of exchange or price controls or other restrictions on
the conversion of foreign currencies could also have a material adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


     IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY FROM
     MISAPPROPRIATION, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED.


         Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of
competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a
substantial portion of our software products and systems as proprietary and rely
on a combination of statutory and common law copyright, trademark, trade secret
laws, customer licensing agreements, employee and third party non-disclosure
agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. We do not
include in our software any mechanisms to prevent or inhibit unauthorized use,
but we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees,
consultants, subcontractors, customers and potential customers and limit access
to, and distribution of, our proprietary information.

         The steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may be
inadequate. If so, we might not be able to prevent others from using what we
regard as our technology to compete with us. Existing trade secret, copyright
and trademark laws offer only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some
foreign countries do not protect our proprietary technology or allow enforcement
of confidentiality covenants to the same extent as the laws of the United
States. There is also the risk that other companies could independently develop
similar or superior technology without violating our proprietary rights.

         If we have to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual
property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, protracted and expensive
and could involve a high degree of risk.

     CLAIMS BY OTHERS THAT WE INFRINGE THEIR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY COULD HARM
     OUR BUSINESS.

         Although we have not received any complaints from third parties
alleging infringement claims, third parties could claim that our current or
future products or technology infringe their proprietary rights. We expect that
software developers will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the
number of products and competitors providing software and services to the
communications industry increases and overlaps occur. Any claim of infringement
by a third party could cause us to incur substantial costs

                                       14


defending against the claim, and could distract our management from our
business. Furthermore, a party making such a claim, if successful, could secure
a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages. A judgment could also
include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from selling
our products or offering our services, or prevent a customer from continuing to
use our products. Any of these events could seriously harm our business.

         If anyone asserts a claim against us relating to proprietary technology
or information, while we might seek to license their intellectual property, we
might not be able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms or on any
terms. In addition, any efforts to develop non-infringing technology could be
unsuccessful. Our failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights or to
develop non-infringing technology could prevent us from selling our products and
could therefore seriously harm our business.

     PRODUCT DEFECTS OR SOFTWARE ERRORS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.

         Design defects or software errors may cause delays in product
introductions or damage customer satisfaction and may have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our
software products are highly complex and may, from time to time, contain design
defects or software errors that may be difficult to detect and correct.

         Because our products are generally used by our customers to perform
critical business functions, design defects, software errors, misuse of our
products, incorrect data from external sources or other potential problems
within or out of our control may arise from the use of our products, and may
result in financial or other damages to our customers, for which we may be held
responsible. Although we have license agreements with our customers that contain
provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities
arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us
against such claims in all cases and in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a
result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our
customers for damages caused to them arising from the use of our products, even
if our liability is limited by a license or other agreement. Claims and
liabilities arising from customer problems could also damage our reputation,
adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition
and the ability to obtain "Errors and Omissions" insurance.

     SYSTEM DISRUPTIONS AND FAILURES MAY RESULT IN CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION,
     CUSTOMER LOSS OR BOTH, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
     REPUTATION AND BUSINESS.

         Our Integrated Customer Management systems are an integral part of our
customers' business operations. The continued and uninterrupted performance of
these systems is critical to our success. Customers may become dissatisfied by
any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide services to them.
Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our
services significantly, and could result in decreased demand for our products
and services.

         Our Managed Services include a combination of services, such as system
modernization and consolidation, management and operation of data centers,
purchase and management of related hardware assets, billing operations and
application support. Our ability to perform Managed Services depends on our
ability to protect our computer systems against damage from fire, power loss,
water damage, telecommunications failures, earthquake, terrorism attack,
vandalism and similar unexpected adverse events. Despite our efforts to
implement network security measures, our systems are also vulnerable to computer
viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. We do
not carry enough business interruption insurance to compensate for any
significant losses that may occur as a result of any of these events.

         We have experienced systems outages and service interruptions in the
past. We expect to experience additional outages in the future. To date, these
outages have not had a material adverse effect on us. However, in the future, a
prolonged system-wide outage or frequent outages could cause harm to our
reputation and could cause our customers to make claims against us for damages
allegedly resulting

                                       15


from an outage or interruption. Any damage or failure that interrupts or delays
our operations could result in material harm to our business and expose us to
material liabilities.

     THE TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF CERTAIN GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS AND TAX
     BENEFITS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OVERALL EFFECTIVE TAX RATE.


         There can be no assurance that our effective tax rate of 25% for the
year ended September 30, 2003 will not change over time as a result of changes
in corporate income tax rates or other changes in the tax laws of the various
countries in which we operate. We have benefited or currently benefit from a
variety of government programs and tax benefits that generally carry conditions
that we must meet in order to be eligible to obtain any benefit.



         For example, the government of Cyprus has issued a permit to our
Cypriot subsidiary pursuant to which its activities are deemed to be offshore
activities for Cypriot tax purposes, resulting in an effective tax rate in
Cyprus of 4.25%. Our Irish subsidiary entered into an agreement with the Irish
Industrial Development Agency by which it qualified for certain job creation
grants and, consequently, certain of its activities were deemed to be
manufacturing activities for Irish tax purposes, resulting in a corporation tax
rate of 10% until December 31, 2002 with respect to such manufacturing
activities. Beginning January 1, 2003, our Irish subsidiary became subject to a
single corporation tax rate of 12.5%. Israeli companies are generally subject to
a company tax of 36% of taxable income, however, certain production and
development facilities of our Israeli subsidiary have been granted a status that
allows for taxation at a rate of 25% or lower. The status by which these
facilities enjoy reduced taxation is subject to certain time limitations.



         If we fail to meet the conditions upon which certain favorable tax
treatment are based, we could be required to refund tax benefits already
received. Additionally, some of these programs and the related tax benefits are
available to us for a limited number of years, and these benefits expire from
time to time.


         Any of the following could have a material effect on our overall
effective tax rate:

         -     some programs may be discontinued,

         -     we may be unable to meet the requirements for continuing to
               qualify for some programs,

         -     these programs and tax benefits may be unavailable at their
               current levels,

         -     upon expiration of a particular benefit, we may not be eligible
               to participate in a new program or qualify for a new tax benefit
               that would offset the loss of the expiring tax benefit, or

         -     we may be required to refund previously recognized tax benefits
               if we are found to be in violation of the stipulated conditions.

     WE ARE CURRENTLY A PARTY TO SECURITIES LITIGATION CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AND
     A SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION INVESTIGATION, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY
     AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         Beginning in June 2002, a number of complaints were filed by holders of
our ordinary shares against Amdocs and certain of our officers and directors in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri and the
Southern District of New York. The cases were transferred to and consolidated in
the Eastern District of Missouri. The consolidated amended complaint filed in
the action alleged that Amdocs and the individual defendants had made false or
misleading statements about our business and future prospects during a putative
class period between July 18, 2000 and June 20, 2002. On December 1, 2003, the
court issued an order granting our motion to dismiss the securities class action
lawsuits and directing that judgment be entered in favor of the defendants. On
December 29, 2003, the lead plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of
Appeals for the Eighth Circuit from the final judgment entered on December 1,
2003. The litigation has been, and may continue to be, time-consuming and costly
and could divert the attention of our management personnel. These lawsuits or
any future lawsuits filed against us could harm our business.

         In addition, we have been informed that the Midwest Regional Office of
the SEC is conducting a private investigation into the events leading up to our
announcement in June 2002 of revised projected revenue for the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 2002. The investigation appears to be focused on, but is not
explicitly limited to, our forecasting beginning with our April 23, 2002 press
release. Although we believe that we will be able to satisfy any concerns the
SEC staff may have in this regard, we are unable to predict the duration, scope
or outcome of the investigation. We are cooperating fully with the SEC staff. At
a minimum, this investigation may divert the attention of our management and
other resources that would otherwise be engaged in operating our business.


     IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR OUR SHAREHOLDERS TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED
     IN THE UNITED STATES AGAINST US, THE SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS OR OUR
     AFFILIATES.



         We are incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey and
several of our directors and executive officers are not residents of the United
States. A significant portion of our assets and the assets of those persons are
located outside the United States. Additionally, we believe that some of the
selling securityholders who are participating in this offering reside outside
the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect
service of process upon us within the United States or upon such persons outside
their jurisdiction of residence. Also, we have been advised that there is doubt
as to the enforceability in Guernsey of judgments of the U.S. courts of civil
liabilities predicated solely upon the laws of the United States, including the
federal securities laws. See the "Enforceability of Civil Liabilities" section
of this prospectus.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES HAS AND MAY CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE
     WIDELY.

         The market price of our ordinary shares has fluctuated widely and may
continue to do so. During fiscal year 2003, our ordinary shares traded as high
as $27.25 per share and as low as $5.85 per share.

                                       16



Our ordinary shares traded as high as $39.25 per share and as low as $6.10 per
share in fiscal 2002 and as high as $80.50 per share and as low as $25.85 per
share in fiscal 2001. As of September 20, 2004, the closing price of our
ordinary shares was $22.97 per share. Many factors could cause the market price
of our ordinary shares to rise and fall, including:


         -     market conditions in the industry and the economy as a whole,

         -     variations in our quarterly operating results,

         -     announcements of technological innovations by us or our
               competitors,

         -     introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or
               our competitors,

         -     trends in the communications or software industries,

         -     acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or others in our
               industry,

         -     changes in estimates of our performance or recommendations by
               financial analysts, and

         -     political developments in the Middle East.

         In addition, the stock market often experiences significant price and
volume fluctuations. These fluctuations particularly affect the market prices of
the securities of many high technology companies. These broad market
fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.




RISKS RELATED TO THE NOTES

     THE NOTES ARE EFFECTIVELY SUBORDINATED TO THE DEBT AND OTHER LIABILITIES OF
     OUR SUBSIDIARIES.


         We are a holding company for the various subsidiaries that conduct our
business on a worldwide basis. The notes are obligations exclusively of our
company and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries. The notes are unsecured and
effectively subordinated to the liabilities, including trade payables, of our
subsidiaries. Neither we nor our subsidiaries are prohibited from incurring debt
under the indenture, including senior indebtedness. If we or our subsidiaries
were to incur additional debt or liabilities, our ability to pay our obligations
on the notes could be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2004, our
subsidiaries had liabilities of approximately $964.7 million. We may from time
to time incur additional debt. Our subsidiaries may also from time to time incur
other additional debt and liabilities. The notes


                                       17


are also effectively subordinated to any secured obligations to the extent of
the value of the assets securing such obligations. See "Description of Notes."

     WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR SUBSIDIARIES TO SERVICE OUR DEBT.

         Our assets consist primarily of the capital stock or other equity
interests of our operating subsidiaries. Consequently, our cash flow and ability
to service debt obligations, including the notes, are dependent upon the
earnings of our subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to us, or
upon loans, advances or other payments made by the subsidiaries to us. The
ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or advances
to us will depend upon their operating results and will be subject to applicable
laws and contractual restrictions contained in any instruments governing their
indebtedness. We cannot be certain that payments from our subsidiaries will be
adequate to service our debt obligations, including the notes.

     WE MAY NOT HAVE THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO FINANCE THE REPURCHASE OF THE NOTES
     OR MAY OTHERWISE BE RESTRICTED FROM MAKING SUCH REPURCHASE IF REQUIRED BY
     HOLDERS PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE.

         On March 15, 2009, 2014 and 2019, or at any time prior to maturity
following a "designated event" under the indenture, holders may require us to
repurchase their notes at a price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. However, it is possible
that we will not have sufficient funds available at such time to make the
required repurchase of notes. In addition, any future credit agreements or other
agreements relating to our indebtedness could contain provisions prohibiting the
repurchase of the notes under certain circumstances, or could provide that a
designated event constitutes an event of default under that agreement. If any
agreement governing our indebtedness prohibits or otherwise restricts us from
repurchasing the notes when we become obligated to do so, we could seek the
consent of the lenders to repurchase the notes or attempt to refinance this
debt. If we do not obtain such a consent or refinance the indebtedness, we would
not be permitted to repurchase the notes without potentially causing a default
under this indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase tendered notes would
constitute an event of default under the indenture, which might constitute a
default under the terms of our other indebtedness.

     THE INDEBTEDNESS CREATED BY THE NOTES, AND ANY FUTURE INDEBTEDNESS, COULD
     ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND OUR ABILITY TO MAKE FULL PAYMENT ON THE
     NOTES.


         Our aggregate level of indebtedness increased as a result of the sale
by us of the notes to the initial purchasers. As of June 30, 2004, we had $481.5
million of outstanding indebtedness and cash and short term investments of $1.2
billion.


         We may obtain additional long-term debt and lines of credit to meet
future financing needs, which would have the effect of increasing our total
leverage. Any increase in our leverage could have significant negative
consequences, including:

         -     increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry
               conditions,

         -     limiting our ability to obtain additional financing,

         -     limiting our ability to make acquisitions,

                                       18


         -     requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash
               flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby
               reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other
               purposes, including capital expenditures,

         -     limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
               in our business and the industries in which we compete, and

         -     placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with less
               leveraged competitors and competitors that may have better access
               to capital resources.

         Our ability to satisfy our future obligations, including debt service
on the notes, depends on our future operating performance and on economic,
financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may
not generate sufficient cash flow to meet these obligations or to successfully
execute our business strategy. If we are unable to service our debt and fund our
business, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek
additional financing or equity capital, restructure or refinance our debt or
sell assets. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain additional
financing or refinance existing debt or sell assets on terms acceptable to us or
at all.

     OUR MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION TO ALLOCATE THE PROCEEDS FROM THE
     SALE OF THE NOTES TO THE INITIAL PURCHASERS, WHICH MAY RESULT IN DECISIONS
     THAT NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES AND OUR ORDINARY
     SHARES.


         Our management will have broad discretion to allocate the proceeds from
the sale of the notes to the initial purchasers and to determine the timing and
nature of expenditures. The allocation of proceeds from the sale of the notes to
the initial purchasers could have a negative effect on the trading prices of the
notes or our ordinary shares. We used approximately $170.1 million of the net
proceeds from the sale of the notes to the initial purchasers to purchase
ordinary shares sold short by purchasers of the notes in negotiated transactions
concurrently with the note offering. We intend to use the balance of the net
proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital
expenditures, as well as for future possible strategic opportunities, including
acquisitions. We are not currently able to estimate the allocation of the
proceeds or timing of the expenditures.


     A PUBLIC MARKET MAY NOT DEVELOP FOR THE NOTES.

         The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no
public market. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend
to make a market in the notes. However, the initial purchasers are not obligated
to make a market and may discontinue this market making activity at any time
without notice. In addition, market making activity by the initial purchasers
will be subject to the limits imposed by the federal securities laws. As a
result, we cannot assure you that any market for the notes will develop or, if
one does develop, that it will be maintained. Historically, the market for
convertible debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused volatility in
the prices of securities similar to the notes. If an active market for the notes
fails to develop or be sustained, the trading price of the notes could be
materially and adversely affected.

     THE TRADING PRICES OF THE NOTES COULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THE
     TRADING PRICES OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES.

         We expect that the trading prices of the notes in the secondary market
will be significantly affected by the trading prices of our ordinary shares. It
is impossible to predict whether the price of our ordinary shares will rise or
fall. Trading prices of our ordinary shares will be influenced by our operating
results and prospects and by economic, financial and other factors. In addition,
general market conditions, including the level of, and fluctuations in, the
trading prices of stocks generally, and sales of

                                       19


substantial amounts of ordinary shares by us in the market after the offering of
the notes, or the perception that such sales may occur, could affect the price
of our ordinary shares.

     THE CONDITIONAL CONVERSION FEATURE OF THE NOTES COULD RESULT IN YOUR NOT
     RECEIVING THE VALUE OF THE ORDINARY SHARES INTO WHICH THE NOTES ARE
     CONVERTIBLE.

         The notes are convertible into ordinary shares only if specific
conditions are met. If the specific conditions for conversion are not met, you
may not be able to receive the value of the ordinary shares into which your
notes would otherwise be convertible.

     THE CONVERSION RATE OF THE NOTES MAY NOT BE ADJUSTED FOR ALL DILUTIVE
     EVENTS.

         The conversion rate of the notes is subject to adjustment for certain
events including, but not limited to, the issuance of stock dividends on our
ordinary shares, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions or
combinations of our ordinary shares, certain distributions of assets, debt
securities, capital stock or cash to holders of our ordinary shares and certain
issuer tender or exchange offers as described under "Description of
Notes--Conversion of Notes--Conversion Rate Adjustments." The conversion rate
will not be adjusted for other events, such as an issuance of ordinary shares
for cash, that may adversely affect the trading price of the notes or the
ordinary shares. There can be no assurance that an event that adversely affects
the value of the notes, but does not result in an adjustment to the conversion
rate, will not occur.

     CONVERSION OF THE NOTES WILL DILUTE THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF EXISTING
     SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING HOLDERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY CONVERTED THEIR NOTES.

         The conversion of some or all of the notes will dilute the ownership
interests of existing shareholders. Any sales in the public market of the
ordinary shares issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing
market prices of our ordinary shares. In addition, the existence of the notes
may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the
notes could depress the price of our ordinary shares.

     IF YOU HOLD NOTES, YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO
     OUR ORDINARY SHARES, BUT YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO ALL CHANGES MADE WITH
     RESPECT TO OUR ORDINARY SHARES.

         If you hold notes, you will not be entitled to any rights with respect
to our ordinary shares (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights
to receive any dividends or other distributions on our ordinary shares), but you
will be subject to all changes affecting the ordinary shares. You will have
rights with respect to our ordinary shares only if and when we deliver shares of
ordinary shares to you upon conversion of your notes and, in limited cases,
under the conversion rate adjustments applicable to the notes. For example, in
the event that an amendment is proposed to our Articles of Association requiring
shareholder approval and the record date for determining the shareholders of
record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to delivery of ordinary
shares to you, you will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although you
will nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or
special rights of our ordinary shares.

                        OFFERING STATISTICS AND TIMETABLE


         The $450,000,000 aggregate principal of notes and the 10,435,995
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are being sold by the
selling securityholders listed under the caption "Selling Securityholders"
beginning on page 54. The offer will be open until the earlier of (1) the date
there are no longer any registrable securities and (2) the date on which all of
the securities being offered hereby held by persons that are not our affiliates
can be sold under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, referred to
herein as the Securities Act, whichever occurs first.


                    REASONS FOR THE OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling securityholders
from time to time of up to $450,000,000 aggregate principal of notes and the
10,435,995 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. We will not
receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling securityholders of the notes
or the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes.

                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         We have not paid cash dividends since 1998, and we do not anticipate
paying cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We
currently intend to retain our earnings to finance the development of our
business. Any future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of
Directors based upon conditions then existing, including our earnings, financial
condition and capital requirements, as well as such economic and other
conditions as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, future
agreements under which we or any of our subsidiaries may incur indebtedness may
contain limitations on our ability to pay cash dividends.


                                MATERIAL CHANGES



         We used approximately $170.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale
of the 0.50% Notes to repurchase approximately 6.1 million of ordinary shares
sold short by purchasers of the 0.50% Notes in negotiated transactions
concurrently with the offering. We intend to use the balance of the net proceeds
for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital
expenditures, as well as for future possible strategic opportunities, including
acquisitions. We also used net proceeds from the sale of the notes and other
cash resources to repurchase approximately $395.1 million in aggregate principal
amount of the 2% Notes through a cash tender offer that we announced on May 3,
2004 and which expired on June 1, 2004. The untendered principal amount of 2%
Notes remain as obligations of the Company, due June 1, 2008, in accordance with
their terms.



         On November 5, 2003, we announced that our Board of Directors had
authorized a share repurchase program of up to five million ordinary shares over
the next twelve months. The authorization permitted us to purchase ordinary
shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions and at prices we
deemed appropriate. We stated that one of the main purposes of the repurchase
program was to offset the dilutive effect of any future share issuances,
including issuances in connection with acquisitions or pursuant to employee
equity plans. In accordance with this program, as of December 22, 2003, we had
repurchased approximately 5.0 million ordinary shares, at an average price of
$24.82 per share.



         On July 28, 2004, we announced that our Board of Directors had extended
the share repurchase program for the additional repurchase of up to $100 million
of our ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions and
at times and prices we deem appropriate. In accordance with this extension, as
of September 21, 2004, we had repurchased approximately 4.9 million ordinary
shares, at an average price of $20.40 per share.



         Pursuant to a previous share repurchase program, in fiscal 2002 we
purchased 7.7 million of our ordinary share at a weighted average price of
$14.13 per share.

                              DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

         We issued the notes under an indenture dated as of March 5, 2004,
between Amdocs, as issuer, and The Bank of New York, as trustee. The notes and
the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes are covered by a
registration rights agreement. You may request a copy of the indenture and the
registration rights agreement from the trustee. We have also filed the indenture
and the registration rights agreement with the SEC. See "Incorporation of
Documents by Reference" and "Where You Can Find More Information."


         The following description is a summary of the material provisions of
the notes, the indenture and the registration rights agreement. It does not
purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and is qualified by reference
to all the provisions of the indenture, including the definitions of certain
terms used in the indenture, and to all the provisions of the registration
rights agreement, including the definitions of certain terms in the registration
rights agreement. Wherever particular provisions or defined terms of the
indenture, form of note or registration rights agreement are referred to, these
provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by reference. We
urge you to read the indenture and the registration rights agreement because
they and not this description define your rights as a holder of notes and with
respect to your registration rights as a holder of ordinary shares.

         As used in this "Description of Notes" section, references to "Amdocs,"
"we," "our" or "us" refer solely to Amdocs Limited and not to our subsidiaries,
unless the context otherwise requires.

GENERAL

         The notes are senior unsecured debt of Amdocs and rank on a parity with
all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt, including the 2%
Notes, and prior to all of our existing and future subordinated debt. The notes
are not obligations of or guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The notes are
convertible into ordinary shares as described under "--Conversion of Notes."

         The notes initially will be limited to $450.0 million aggregate
principal amount. The notes were issued in denominations of $1,000 and multiples
of $1,000. We use the term "note" in this prospectus to refer to each $1,000
principal amount of notes. The notes will mature on March 15, 2024, unless
earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

         We may, without the consent of the holders, reopen the indenture and
issue additional notes under the indenture with the same terms and with the same
CUSIP numbers as the outstanding notes in an unlimited aggregate principal
amount, provided that no such additional notes may be issued unless fungible
with the outstanding notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to our
compliance with applicable laws, we may also from time to time repurchase the
notes in open market purchases or negotiated transactions without prior notice
to holders.

         The notes are obligations of Amdocs, which is a holding company, and
not its subsidiaries. Because we derive substantially all of our revenues from
our operating subsidiaries and do not have business operations of our own, we
are dependent upon the ability of our subsidiaries to provide us with cash, in
the form of dividends or intercompany advances, loans or otherwise, to meet our
obligations under the notes. Our subsidiaries will have no obligation to pay
amounts due on the notes or to make any funds available to us for payment of the
notes upon maturity or upon a redemption or repurchase of the notes as described
below.

         Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are subject to any financial
covenants under the indenture. In addition, neither we nor any of our
subsidiaries are restricted under the indenture from paying dividends, incurring
debt, whether senior or junior to the notes, or issuing or repurchasing our
securities.

         You are not afforded protection under the indenture in the event of a
highly leveraged transaction or a change in control of us, except to the extent
described below under "--Repurchase at Option of the Holder Upon a Designated
Event."

                                       25


         The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 0.50%. Interest is
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and
accrues from March 5, 2004, or from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for. We will pay interest on March 15 and September
15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2004, to record holders at the close of
business on the preceding March 1 and September 1, as the case may be.

         We will maintain an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, where we will pay the principal on the notes and you may present the notes
for conversion, registration of transfer or exchange for other denominations,
which will initially be an office or agency of the paying agent. The paying
agent initially will be the trustee. We may pay interest by check mailed to your
address as it appears in the note register, provided that if you are a holder
with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2.0 million, you will be paid,
at your written election, by wire transfer in immediately available funds.
However, payments to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, which we
refer to as DTC, will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account of DTC or its nominee.

         The notes are not subject to a sinking fund provision and are not
subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance under the indenture.

CONVERSION OF NOTES

         You may convert any of your notes, in whole or in part, into ordinary
shares prior to the close of business on the final maturity date of the notes,
subject to prior redemption or repurchase of the notes, only under the following
circumstances:

         -     subject to certain exceptions, upon satisfaction of a market
               price condition;

         -     upon satisfaction of a trading price condition;

         -     upon the occurrence of certain credit ratings events;

         -     upon notice of redemption; or

         -     upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions.

         The number of ordinary shares you will receive upon conversion of your
notes will be determined by multiplying the number of $1,000 principal amount
notes you convert by the conversion rate on the date of conversion. You may
convert your notes in part so long as such part is $1,000 principal amount or an
integral multiple of $1,000.

         If we call notes for redemption, you may convert the notes until the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date,
unless we fail to pay the redemption price. If you have submitted your notes for
repurchase upon a designated event, you may convert your notes only if you
withdraw your repurchase election. Similarly, if you exercise your option to
require us to repurchase your notes other than upon a designated event, those
notes may be converted only if you withdraw your election to exercise your
option in accordance with the terms of the indenture. Upon conversion of notes,
a holder will not receive any cash payment of interest or liquidated damages, if
any, except in the circumstances specified in the next paragraph, and such
amounts will be forfeited.

         Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if notes are converted after a
record date but prior to the next succeeding interest payment date, holders of
such notes at the close of business on the record date will receive the interest
payable on such notes on the corresponding interest payment date notwithstanding
the conversion. Such notes, upon surrender for conversion, must be accompanied
by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the notes so converted;
provided that no such payment need be made (1) if we have specified a redemption
date that is after a record date but on or prior to the next interest payment
date, (2) if we have specified a repurchase date following a designated event
that is after a record date but on or prior to the next succeeding interest
payment date or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest at the time of
conversion with respect to such note.

                                       26


     CONVERSION UPON SATISFACTION OF MARKET PRICE CONDITION

         You may surrender your note for conversion into our ordinary shares
prior to the close of business on the maturity date during any fiscal quarter
commencing after March 31, 2004, and only during such fiscal quarter if the
closing sale price of our ordinary shares exceeds 130% of the then effective
conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days
ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter.

         The "closing sale price" of our ordinary shares on any date means the
closing per share sale price (or if no closing sale price is reported, the
average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the
average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date as reported
in composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on
which our ordinary shares are traded or, if our ordinary shares are not listed
on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the
Nasdaq System or by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated. In the absence
of such a quotation, we will determine the closing sale price on the basis we
consider appropriate, and such determination shall be conclusive. The
"conversion price" as of any day will equal $1,000 divided by the conversion
rate as of such day.

     CONVERSION UPON SATISFACTION OF TRADING PRICE CONDITION

         You may surrender your notes for conversion into our ordinary shares
prior to the close of business on the maturity date during the five business-day
period after any five consecutive trading-day period (the "measurement period")
in which the "trading price" per $1,000 principal amount of notes, as determined
following a request by a holder of notes in accordance with the procedures
described below, for each day of that measurement period was less than 98% of
the product of the closing sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion
rate for such date (the "98% Trading Exception"); provided, however, you may not
convert your notes in reliance on this provision if on any trading day during
such measurement period the closing sale price of our ordinary shares was
between 100% and 130% of the then current conversion price of the notes.

         The "trading price" of the notes on any date of determination means the
average of the secondary market bid quotations obtained by the trustee for
$10,000,000 principal amount of the notes at approximately 3:30 p.m., New York
City time, on such determination date from three independent nationally
recognized securities dealers we select; provided that if three such bids cannot
reasonably be obtained by the trustee, but two such bids are obtained, then the
average of the two bids shall be used, and if only one such bid can reasonably
be obtained by the trustee, that one bid shall be used. If the trustee cannot
reasonably obtain at least one bid for $10,000,000 principal amount of the notes
from a nationally recognized securities dealer, then the trading price per
$1,000 principal amount of notes will be deemed to be less than 98% of the
product of the "closing sale price" of our ordinary shares and the conversion
rate.

         In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of the above
trading pricing condition, the trustee shall have no obligation to determine the
trading price of the notes unless we have requested such determination; and we
shall have no obligation to make such request unless a holder provides us with
reasonable evidence that the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes
would be less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our ordinary
shares and the conversion rate. At such time, we shall instruct the trustee to
determine the trading price of the notes beginning on the next trading day and
on each successive trading day until the trading price per $1,000 principal
amount of notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the closing
sale price of our ordinary shares and the conversion rate.

     CONVERSION UPON CREDIT RATINGS EVENT

         After the earlier of (a) the date the notes are rated by both Standard
& Poor's and Moody's and (b) five business days from the date the notes are
issued, you may surrender your note for conversion into our ordinary shares
prior to close of business on the maturity date during any period in which the
credit rating assigned to the notes by Standard & Poor's or Moody's (or any
successors to these entities) is "BB-" or "Ba3," respectively, or lower, or if

                                       27


either of these rating agencies no longer rates the notes, or if either of these
rating agencies suspends or withdraws the rating assigned to the notes, or if
the notes are not assigned a rating by both rating agencies.

     CONVERSION UPON NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

         If we call notes for redemption, you may convert the notes until the
close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date,
after which time your right to convert will expire unless we default in the
payment of the redemption price.

     CONVERSION UPON SPECIFIED CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS

         If we elect to:

         -     distribute to all holders of our ordinary shares certain rights
               or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring
               within 45 days of the record date for such issuance, our ordinary
               shares at less than the average of the closing sale prices of our
               ordinary shares for the 10 trading days preceding the declaration
               date for such distribution; or

         -     distribute to all holders of our ordinary shares ordinary shares,
               assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase our
               securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 5%
               of the closing sale price of our ordinary shares on the day
               preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

we must notify you at least 20 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such
distribution. Once we have given such notice, you may surrender your notes for
conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the
business day prior to the ex-dividend date or any announcement by us that such
distribution will not take place. If you will otherwise participate in the
distribution without conversion, you will not have the right to convert pursuant
to this provision.

         In addition, if we are a party to a consolidation, amalgamation,
merger, binding share exchange or sale, lease or transfer of all or
substantially all of our assets, in each case pursuant to which our ordinary
shares would be converted into cash, securities or other property, you may
surrender your notes for conversion at any time from and after the date that is
15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until and
including the date that is 15 days after the actual date of such transaction (or
if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, binding share exchange or sale,
lease or transfer also constitutes a designated event, until the repurchase date
corresponding to such designated event). If we are a party to a consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, lease or transfer of all
or substantially all of our assets, in each case pursuant to which our ordinary
shares are converted into cash, securities or other property, then at the
effective time of the transaction, your right to convert a note into our
ordinary shares will be changed into a right to convert it into the kind and
amount of cash, securities and other property that you would have received if
you had converted your notes immediately prior to the transaction. If the
transaction also constitutes a designated event, you can require us to
repurchase all or a portion of your notes as described under "--Repurchase at
Option of the Holder Upon a Designated Event."

     CONVERSION PROCEDURES

         The initial conversion rate for the notes is 23.1911 ordinary shares
per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment as described below,
which represents an initial conversion price of $43.12 per share. We will not
issue fractional ordinary shares upon conversion of notes. Instead, we will pay
cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing sale price of the
ordinary shares on the trading day prior to the conversion date. Except as
described above, you will not receive any accrued interest or dividends upon
conversion.

         To convert your note into ordinary shares you must do the following (or
comply with DTC procedures for doing so in respect of your beneficial interest
in notes evidenced by a global note):

                                       28


         -     complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of
               the note or facsimile of the conversion notice and deliver this
               notice to the conversion agent;

         -     surrender the note to the conversion agent;

         -     if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
               documents;

         -     if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and

         -     if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next
               interest payment date.

The date you comply with these requirements is the conversion date under the
indenture.

     CONVERSION RATE ADJUSTMENTS

         We will adjust the conversion rate if any of the following events
occurs:

         (1)   We issue ordinary shares as a dividend or distribution on our
               ordinary shares.

         (2)   We issue to all holders of ordinary shares certain rights or
               warrants to purchase our ordinary shares, for a period expiring
               within 45 days of the record date for such issuance, at a price
               per share that is less than the average of the closing sale
               prices of our ordinary shares for the 10 trading days preceding
               the declaration date for such distribution.

         (3)   We subdivide or combine our ordinary shares.

         (4)   We distribute to all holders of our ordinary shares any shares of
               our capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets, including
               cash and securities but excluding rights or warrants specified
               above and dividends or distributions specified above.

               If we distribute shares of capital stock of, or similar equity
               interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of ours, then
               the conversion rate will be adjusted based on the market value of
               the securities so distributed relative to the market value of our
               ordinary shares, in each case based on the average of the closing
               sale prices of those securities (where such closing sale prices
               are available) for the 10 trading days commencing on and
               including the fifth trading day after the date on which
               "ex-dividend trading" commences for such distribution on the New
               York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange
               or market on which the securities are then listed or quoted.

               If we distribute cash (excluding any dividend or distribution in
               connection with our liquidation, dissolution or winding up), then
               the conversion rate shall be increased so that it equals the rate
               determined by multiplying the conversion rate in effect on the
               record date with respect to the cash distribution by a fraction,
               (1) the numerator of which shall be the current market price of
               our ordinary shares on the record date, and (2) the denominator
               of which will be the current market price of our ordinary shares
               on the record date minus the amount per share of such
               distribution.

         (5)   We or one of our subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a
               tender offer or exchange offer for our ordinary shares to the
               extent that the cash and value of any other consideration
               included in the payment per share of ordinary shares exceeds the
               closing sale price per share of ordinary shares on the trading
               day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges
               may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer.

         (6)   Someone other than us or one of our subsidiaries makes a payment
               in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer in which, as of
               the closing date of the offer, our board of directors is not
               recommending rejection of the offer.

               The adjustment referred to in this clause (6) will only be made
               if:

                                       29


               -    the tender offer or exchange offer is for an amount that
                    increases the offeror's ownership of ordinary shares to more
                    than 25% of the total ordinary shares outstanding; and

               -    the cash and value of any other consideration included in
                    the payment per share of ordinary shares exceeds the closing
                    sale price per share of ordinary shares on the trading day
                    next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges
                    may be made pursuant to the tender or exchange offer.

               However, the adjustment referred to in this clause (6) will
               generally not be made if as of the closing of the offer, the
               offering documents disclose a plan or an intention to cause us to
               engage in a consolidation or merger or a sale of all or
               substantially all of our assets.

         "Current market price" of our ordinary shares on any day means the
average of the closing price per share of our ordinary shares for each of the 10
consecutive trading days ending on the earlier of the day in question and the
day before the "ex-date" with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring
such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, "ex-date" means the first date
on which our ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the
applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such issuance or
distribution.

         To the extent that we have a rights plan in effect upon conversion of
the notes into ordinary shares, you will receive, in addition to the ordinary
shares, the rights under the rights plan, unless prior to any conversion, the
rights have separated from the ordinary shares, in which case the conversion
rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if we distributed to all
holders of our ordinary shares, shares of our capital stock, evidences of
indebtedness or assets as described above, subject to readjustment in the event
of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

         In the event of:

         -     any reclassification of our ordinary shares;

         -     a consolidation, merger or combination involving us; or

         -     a sale or conveyance to another person or entity of all or
               substantially all of our property and assets;

in which holders of our ordinary shares would be entitled to receive stock,
other securities, other property, assets or cash for their ordinary shares, upon
conversion of your notes you will be entitled to receive the same type of
consideration that you would have been entitled to receive if you had converted
the notes into our ordinary shares immediately prior to any of these events.

         We may, from time to time, increase the conversion rate if our Board of
Directors has made a determination that this increase would be in our best
interests. Any such determination by our board will be conclusive. In addition,
we may increase the conversion rate if our board of directors deems it advisable
to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of ordinary shares resulting from
any stock or rights distribution. See "Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders--Adjustment to Conversion
Rate."

         The holders of the notes may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to
have received a distribution subject to U.S. federal income tax as a dividend as
a result of the adjustments to the conversion rate described above. See "Certain
United States Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Consequences to U.S.
Holders--Adjustment to Conversion Rate."

         We will not be required to make an adjustment in the conversion rate
unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the conversion
rate. However, we will carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of
the conversion rate. Except as described above in this section, we will not
adjust the conversion rate for any issuance of our ordinary shares or
convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase our ordinary shares
or convertible or exchangeable securities.

                                       30


OPTIONAL REDEMPTION BY AMDOCS

         Beginning March 20, 2009, we may redeem the notes in whole or in part
for cash at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount
of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to,
but excluding, the redemption date. If such redemption date falls after a record
date but on or prior to the next succeeding interest payment date, we will pay
the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated damages, if any,
on such interest payment date to the holder of record on the close of business
on the corresponding record date. We are required to give notice of redemption
by mail to holders not more than 60 but not less than 30 days prior to the
redemption date.

         If less than all of the outstanding notes are to be redeemed, the
trustee will select the notes to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or
multiples of $1,000 by lot, pro rata or by another method the trustee considers
fair and appropriate. If a portion of your notes is selected for partial
redemption and you convert a portion of your notes, the converted portion will
be deemed to the extent practicable to be of the portion selected for
redemption.

         We may not redeem the notes if we have failed to pay any interest on
the notes and such failure to pay is continuing, or if the principal amount of
the notes has been accelerated.

REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER

         You have the right to require us to repurchase your notes, in whole or
in part, on March 15 of 2009, 2014 and 2019. We will be required to repurchase
any outstanding note for which you deliver a written repurchase notice to the
paying agent. This notice must be delivered during the period beginning at any
time from the opening of business on the date that is 20 business days prior to
the repurchase date until the close of business on the repurchase date. If a
repurchase notice is given and withdrawn during that period, we will not be
obligated to repurchase the notes listed in the notice. Our repurchase
obligation will be subject to certain additional conditions.

         The repurchase price payable for a note will be equal to the principal
amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

         At our option, instead of paying the repurchase price in cash, we may
pay it in our ordinary shares or a combination of cash and our ordinary shares
valued at 100% of the average of the closing sales prices of such ordinary
shares on the NYSE (or such other national or regional exchange or market on
which the securities are then listed or quoted) for the five consecutive trading
days ending on the third trading day prior to the repurchase date. We may only
pay the repurchase price in ordinary shares if we satisfy certain conditions
provided in the indenture, including:


         -     registration of the ordinary shares to be issued upon repurchase
               under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
               referred to herein as the Exchange Act, if required;


         -     qualification of the ordinary shares to be issued upon repurchase
               under applicable state securities laws, if necessary, or the
               availability of an exemption therefrom; and

         -     listing of the ordinary shares on a United States national
               securities exchange or quotation thereof in an inter-dealer
               quotation system of any registered United States national
               securities association.

         If any condition is not satisfied, such as the condition that there be
no restrictions on any transfer of the shares, the repurchase price may be paid
only in cash. For a discussion of the tax treatment of a holder receiving cash,
ordinary shares or any combination thereof, see "Certain United States Federal
Income Tax Considerations." We may, at any time, irrevocably relinquish our
right to pay the repurchase price in ordinary shares by entering into a
supplemental indenture with the trustee.

         You may withdraw any written repurchase notice by delivering a written
notice of withdrawal to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the
repurchase date. The withdrawal notice must state:

                                       31


         -     the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

         -     if certificated notes have been issued, the certificate numbers
               of the withdrawn notes (or, if your notes are not certificated,
               your withdrawal notice must comply with appropriate DTC
               procedures); and

         -     the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the
               repurchase notice.

         We must give notice of an upcoming repurchase date to all note holders
not less than 20 business days prior to the repurchase date at their addresses
shown in the register of the registrar. We will also give notice to beneficial
owners as required by applicable law. This notice will state, among other
things: whether we will pay the repurchase price of the notes in cash or
ordinary shares, or both cash and ordinary shares (in which case the relative
percentages will be specified); if we elect to pay all or a portion of the
repurchase price in ordinary shares, the method by which we are required to
calculate market price of the ordinary shares; and the procedures that holders
must follow to require us to repurchase their notes.

         Payment of the repurchase price for a note for which a repurchase
notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry
transfer or delivery of the note, together with necessary endorsements, to the
paying agent at its office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or
any other office of the paying agent, at any time after delivery of the
repurchase notice. Payment of the repurchase price for the note will be made
promptly following the later of the repurchase date and the time of book-entry
transfer or delivery of the note. If the paying agent holds money sufficient to
pay the repurchase price of the note on the business day following the
repurchase date, then, on and after the date:

         -     the note will cease to be outstanding;

         -     interest will cease to accrue; and

         -     all other rights of the holder will terminate, other than the
               right to receive the repurchase price upon delivery of the note.

         This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the note
has been made or the note has been delivered to the paying agent.

         No notes may be repurchased by us at the option of the holders if the
principal amount of the notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has
not been rescinded, on or prior to the indicated repurchase date. We may be
unable to repurchase the notes if you elect to require us to repurchase the
notes pursuant to this provision. If you elect to require us to repurchase the
notes on March 15 of 2009, 2014 or 2019, we may not have enough funds to pay the
repurchase price for all tendered notes. Any future credit agreements or other
agreements relating to our indebtedness may contain provisions prohibiting the
repurchase of the notes under certain circumstances. If you elect to require us
to repurchase the notes at a time when we are prohibited from repurchasing
notes, we could seek the consent of our lenders to repurchase the notes or
attempt to refinance this debt. If we do not obtain consent, we would not be
permitted to repurchase the notes. Our failure to repurchase tendered notes
would constitute an event of default under the indenture, which might constitute
a default under the terms of our other indebtedness.

         We will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender
offer rules under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of the
tender offer. To the extent applicable, we will file a Schedule TO or any other
schedule required in connection with any offer by us to repurchase the notes.

REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A DESIGNATED EVENT

         If a designated event occurs at any time prior to the maturity of the
notes, you may require us to repurchase your notes, in whole or in part, on a
repurchase date that is not less than 20 nor more than 35 business days after
the date of our notice of the designated event. The notes will be repurchased
only in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

                                       32


         We will repurchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and liquidated
damages, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. If such repurchase date
falls after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment
date, we will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest payable on such
interest payment date to the holder of record on the close of business on the
corresponding record date.

         At our option, instead of paying the repurchase price in cash, we may
pay it in our ordinary shares or, if applicable, our parent's common equity, or
a combination of cash and shares valued at 100% of the average of the closing
sales prices of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other
national or regional exchange or market on which the securities are then listed
or quoted) for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day
prior to the repurchase date. We may only pay the repurchase price in shares if
we satisfy certain conditions provided in the indenture, including:

         -     registration of the shares to be issued upon redemption under the
               Securities Act and the Exchange Act, if required;

         -     qualification of the shares to be issued upon redemption under
               applicable state securities laws, if necessary, or the
               availability of an exemption therefrom; and

         -     listing of the shares on a United States national securities
               exchange or quotation thereof in an inter-dealer quotation system
               of any registered United States national securities association.

         If any condition is not satisfied, such as the condition that there be
no restrictions on any transfer of the shares, the repurchase price may be paid
only in cash. We may, at any time, irrevocably relinquish our right to pay the
repurchase price in shares by entering into a supplemental indenture with the
trustee.

         We will mail to all record holders a notice of a designated event
within 15 days after it has occurred. This notice will state, among other
things: whether we will pay the repurchase price of the notes in cash, shares of
our ordinary shares or, if applicable, our parent's common equity, or both cash
and shares (in which case the relative percentages will be specified); if we
elect to pay all or a portion of the repurchase price in shares, the method by
which we are required to calculate market price of the shares; and the
procedures that holders must follow to require us to repurchase their notes. We
are also required to deliver to the trustee a copy of the designated event
notice. If you elect to require us to repurchase your notes, you must deliver to
us or our designated agent, on or before the repurchase date specified in our
designated event notice, your repurchase notice and any notes to be repurchased,
duly endorsed for transfer. We will promptly pay the repurchase price for notes
surrendered for repurchase following the repurchase date.

         You may withdraw any written repurchase notice by delivering a written
notice of withdrawal to the paying agent prior to the close of business on the
repurchase date. The withdrawal notice must state:

         -     the principal amount of the withdrawn notes;

         -     if certificated notes have been issued, the certificate numbers
               of the withdrawn notes (or, if your notes are not certificated,
               your withdrawal notice must comply with appropriate DTC
               procedures); and

         -     the principal amount, if any, that remains subject to the
               repurchase notice.

         Payment of the repurchase price for a note for which a repurchase
notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry
transfer or delivery of the note, together with necessary endorsements, to the
paying agent at its corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, or any other office of the paying agent, at any time after delivery
of the repurchase notice. Payment of the repurchase price for the note will be
made promptly following the later of the repurchase date and the time of
book-entry transfer or delivery of the note. If the paying agent holds money
sufficient to pay the repurchase price of the note on the repurchase date, then,
on and after the business day following the repurchase date:

         -     the note will cease to be outstanding;

                                       33


         -     interest will cease to accrue; and

         -     all other rights of the holder will terminate, other than the
               right to receive the repurchase price upon delivery of the note.

         This will be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the note
has been made or the note has been delivered to the paying agent.

         A "designated event" will be deemed to have occurred upon a fundamental
change or a termination of trading.

         A "fundamental change" is any transaction or event (whether by means of
an exchange offer, liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger,
combination, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) in connection with
which all or substantially all of our ordinary shares are exchanged for,
converted into, acquired for or constitute solely the right to receive,
consideration that is not all or substantially all common stock (or comparable
equity security of a non-U.S. entity) that:

         -     is listed on, or immediately after the transaction or event will
               be listed on, a United States national securities exchange, or

         -     is approved, or immediately after the transaction or event will
               be approved, for quotation on the NASDAQ National Market or any
               similar United States system of automated dissemination of
               quotations of securities prices.

         A "termination of trading" will be deemed to have occurred if our
ordinary shares (or other securities into which the notes are then convertible)
are neither listed for trading on a United States national securities exchange
nor approved for trading on the NASDAQ National Market.

         We will comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4 and any other tender
offer rules under the Exchange Act that may be applicable at the time of a
designated event. To the extent applicable, we will file a Schedule TO or any
other schedule required in connection with any offer by us to repurchase the
notes in the event of a designated event.

         These designated event repurchase rights could discourage a potential
acquirer of Amdocs. However, this designated event repurchase feature is not the
result of management's knowledge of any specific effort to obtain control of us
by means of a merger, tender offer or solicitation, or part of a plan by
management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions. The term "designated
event" is limited to specified transactions and may not include other events
that might adversely affect our financial condition or business operations. Our
obligation to offer to repurchase the notes upon a designated event would not
necessarily afford you protection in the event of a highly leveraged
transaction, reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us. No
notes may be repurchased by us at the option of holders upon a designated event
if the principal amount of the notes has been accelerated and such acceleration
has not been rescinded.

         We may be unable to repurchase the notes in the event of a designated
event. If a designated event were to occur, we may not have enough funds to pay
the repurchase price for all tendered notes. Any future credit agreements or
other agreements relating to our indebtedness may contain provisions prohibiting
repurchase of the notes under certain circumstances, or expressly prohibit our
repurchase of the notes upon a designated event or may provide that a designated
event constitutes an event of default under that agreement. If a designated
event occurs at a time when we are prohibited from repurchasing notes, we could
seek the consent of our lenders to repurchase the notes or attempt to refinance
this debt. If we do not obtain consent, we would not be permitted to repurchase
the notes. Our failure to repurchase tendered notes would constitute an event of
default under the indenture, which might constitute a default under the terms of
our other indebtedness.

                                       34


ADDITIONAL TAX AMOUNTS

         All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, interest,
liquidated damages or otherwise) in respect of the notes will be made free and
clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present
or future taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Guernsey or any political
subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power
to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, levies,
assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In that event, we will
pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts as may be necessary in order
that the net amounts receivable by the holder after such withholding or
deduction shall equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable by
such holder in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such
additional amounts shall be payable in relation to any payment in respect of any
of the notes:

         -     to, or to a third party on behalf of, a person who is liable for
               such taxes, duties, levies, assessments or governmental charges
               in respect of such note by reason of his having some connection
               with (including being a citizen of, being incorporated or engaged
               in a trade or business in, or having a residence or principal
               place of business or other presence in) Guernsey other than (a)
               the mere holding of such note or (b) the receipt of principal,
               interest or other amount in respect of such note; or

         -     presented for payment more than 30 days after the relevant date
               (as defined below), except to the extent that the relevant holder
               would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting
               the same for payment on or before the expiry of such period of 30
               days; or

         -     on account of any inheritance, gift, estate, personal property,
               sales, or similar taxes duties, levies, assessments or similar
               governmental charges; or

         -     on account of any taxes, duties, levies, assessments or
               governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by
               withholding from payments in respect of such note.

         The "relevant date" means, in respect of any payment, the date on which
such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys
payable has not been received by the trustee on or prior to such due date, it
means the first date on which, the full amount of such moneys having been so
received and being available for payment to holders, notice to that effect shall
have been duly given to the holders of the notes.

         If Amdocs becomes subject generally at any time to any taxing
jurisdiction other than or in addition to Guernsey, references to Guernsey in
this section and the following section shall be read and construed as references
to such other jurisdiction(s) and/or to Guernsey.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion concerning withholding taxes,
in the event that any deduction or withholding on account of tax is required to
be made, or is made, in connection with the European Union directive on the
taxation of savings income adopted on June 3, 2003, or any law, regardless of
whether or not enacted by a member state of the European Union or otherwise,
required by such directive implementing or complying with, or introduced in
order to conform to, such directive, no additional amounts shall be payable or
paid by us to any holder in respect of the notes. See "Certain Guernsey Tax
Considerations--European Union Savings Tax Directive."

         Any reference in this section to "principal" and/or "interest" in
respect of the notes shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts
that may be payable under this section. Unless the context otherwise requires,
any reference in this section to "principal" shall include any redemption amount
and any other amounts in the nature of principal payable pursuant to this
section and "interest" shall include all amounts payable pursuant to this
section and any other amounts in the nature of interest payable pursuant to this
section, including liquidated damages.

                                       35


TAX REDEMPTION

         Subject to the conditions described below, the notes may be redeemed
for cash, in whole but not in part, at our option, upon not less than 30 days'
nor more than 60 days' prior notice to the holders at the redemption price equal
to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, if we
determine, based on an opinion received from a tax advisor who is an expert in
the tax laws of the relevant jurisdiction, that on the next succeeding interest
payment date, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or treaties,
or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder, of Guernsey or any
political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof
having power to tax and affecting taxation, or any proposed change in such laws,
treaties, regulations or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent
jurisdiction) which change or amendment becomes effective or is proposed on or
after the closing date of the sale of the notes, Amdocs has or will become
obligated to pay additional amounts on any notes, provided, however, that (i)
the obligation to withhold or deduct cannot be avoided by us by using our
reasonable best efforts to obtain an exemption from such deduction or
withholding obligation (in the event application to the appropriate authorities
is reasonably required in order to avoid such obligation) and such application
has been denied, and (ii) no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than
90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obligated to pay such
additional amounts.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if we give notice of redemption as
described above, each holder of notes will have the right to elect that such
holder's notes will not be subject to such redemption. If a holder of notes
elects not to be subject to such redemption, we will not be required to pay any
additional amounts with respect to payments made on that holder's notes (solely
as a result of the change in Guernsey tax law that caused additional amounts to
be payable) following the redemption date fixed by us, and all subsequent
payments on such holder's notes whether in cash or ordinary shares will be
subject to applicable Guernsey taxes. In such event, payments of interest on the
notes arising on maturity, redemption, purchase or conversion of a note or on an
assignment or other transfer of a note to a person resident in Guernsey may be
subject to Guernsey taxes, and the tax consequences to holders of notes
described under "Certain Guernsey Tax Considerations" will no longer apply.

         Because the tax consequences to holders in such circumstances could be
material and adverse, holders of notes should consult their own tax advisors in
considering whether to elect their option to avoid redemption in such
circumstances. In the event that cash payments which a holder would otherwise be
entitled to receive from us are insufficient to pay applicable Guernsey taxes,
we may require from a holder as a condition to the holder's right to receive any
ordinary shares on conversion or other amounts from us an amount of cash
sufficient to pay applicable Guernsey taxes. Holders of notes must elect their
option to avoid such redemption by written notice to the trustee no later than
the 15th day prior to the redemption date fixed by us.

MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS BY AMDOCS

         The indenture provides that we may not consolidate with or merge with
or into any other person or convey, transfer, sell or lease our properties and
assets substantially as an entirety to another person, and we may not permit any
person to consolidate with or merge into us or convey, transfer, sell or lease
such person's properties and assets substantially as an entirety to us, unless
among other items:

         -     the person formed by such consolidation or into or with which we
               are merged or the person to which our properties and assets are
               so conveyed, transferred, sold or leased, shall be a corporation,
               limited liability company, partnership or trust organized and
               validly existing under either (1) the laws of Guernsey, the
               United States, any state within the United States or the District
               of Columbia or any other country (including its political
               subdivisions) which on the issue date is a member of the
               Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or (2) any
               other country whose legal and jurisprudential system is
               principally based on, or substantially similar to, English common
               law so long as the location of that entity in such common law
               country would not adversely affect the rights of holders and, in
               each case, if we

                                       36


               are not the surviving person, the surviving person files a
               supplement to the indenture and expressly assumes the payment of
               the principal and interest on the notes and the performance of
               our other covenants under the indenture;

         -     after giving effect to such transaction, there is no event of
               default under the indenture, and no event which, after notice or
               passage of time or both, would become an event of default; and

         -     other requirements as described in the indenture are met.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT; NOTICE AND WAIVER

         The following are events of default under the indenture:

         -     we fail to pay principal when due at maturity, upon redemption,
               repurchase or otherwise on the notes;

         -     we fail to pay any interest and liquidated damages, if any, on
               the notes, when due and such failure continues for a period of 30
               days;

         -     we fail to provide timely notice of a designated event;

         -     we fail to perform or observe any of the covenants in the
               indenture for 60 days after written notice to us from the trustee
               (or to us and the trustee from the holders of at least 25% in
               principal amount of the outstanding notes);

         -     payment defaults or other defaults causing acceleration of
               indebtedness prior to maturity, where the principal amount of the
               indebtedness subject to such defaults aggregates $50.0 million or
               more;

         -     we fail to deliver our ordinary shares upon conversion of the
               notes within the time period required by the indenture, and such
               failure continues for a period of five days; or

         -     certain events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or
               reorganization.

         The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the notes of any
default, except defaults in payment of interest or liquidated damages, if any,
on the notes. However, the trustee must consider it to be in the interest of the
holders of the notes to withhold this notice.

         If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the
principal, and accrued interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the
outstanding notes to be immediately due and payable. In case of certain events
of bankruptcy or insolvency involving us, the principal, and accrued interest
and liquidated damages, if any, on the notes will automatically become due and
payable. However, if we cure all defaults, except the nonpayment of principal,
interest or liquidated damages, if any, that became due as a result of the
acceleration, and meet certain other conditions, with certain exceptions, this
declaration may be cancelled and the holders of a majority of the principal
amount of outstanding notes may waive these past defaults.

         Payments of principal or interest or liquidated damages, if any, on the
notes that are not made when due will accrue interest from the required payment
date at the annual rate of 1% above the then applicable interest rate for the
notes.

         The holders of a majority of outstanding notes will have the right to
direct the time, method and place of any proceedings for any remedy available to
the trustee, subject to limitations specified in the indenture.

         No holder of the notes may pursue any remedy under the indenture,
except in the case of a default in the payment of principal or interest on the
notes, unless:

         -     the holder has given the trustee written notice of an event of
               default;

                                       37


         -     the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding
               notes make a written request and offer indemnity reasonably
               satisfactory to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

         -     the trustee does not receive an inconsistent direction from the
               holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes;

         -     the holder or holders have offered security or indemnity
               reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any costs,
               liability or expense of the trustee; and

         -     the trustee fails to comply with the request within 60 days after
               receipt of the request and offer of indemnity.

MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

         The consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding notes is required to modify or amend the indenture. However, a
modification or amendment requires the consent of the holder of each outstanding
note if it would:

         -     extend the fixed maturity of any note;

         -     reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest, or
               liquidated damages, if any, on any note;

         -     reduce the principal amount of any note;

         -     reduce any amount payable upon redemption or repurchase of any
               note;

         -     adversely change our obligation to repurchase any note at the
               option of a holder or upon a designated event;

         -     impair the right of a holder to institute suit for payment on any
               note;

         -     change the currency in which any note is payable;

         -     impair the right of a holder to convert any note or reduce the
               number of ordinary shares or the amount of any other property
               receivable upon conversion;

         -     reduce the quorum or voting requirements under the indenture;

         -     subject to specified exceptions, modify certain of the provisions
               of the indenture relating to modification or waiver of provisions
               of the indenture; or

         -     reduce the percentage of notes required for consent to any
               modification of the indenture.

         We are permitted to modify certain provisions of the indenture without
the consent of the holders of the notes.

FORM, DENOMINATION AND REGISTRATION

         The notes were issued:

         -     in fully registered form;

         -     without interest coupons; and

         -     in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral
               multiples of $1,000.

     GLOBAL NOTE, BOOK-ENTRY FORM

         Notes are evidenced by one or more global notes. We deposited the
global note or notes with DTC and register the global notes in the name of Cede
& Co. as DTC's nominee. Except as set forth

                                       38


below, a global note may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another
nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

         Beneficial interests in a global note may be held directly through DTC
if such holder is a participant in DTC, or indirectly through organizations that
are participants in DTC (called "participants"). Transfers between participants
will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be
settled in clearing house funds. The laws of some states require that certain
persons take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. As a result,
the ability to transfer beneficial interests in the global note to such persons
may be limited.

         Holders who are not participants may beneficially own interests in a
global note held by DTC only through participants, or certain banks, brokers,
dealers, trust companies and other parties that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly (called
"indirect participants"). So long as Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, is the
registered owner of a global note, Cede & Co. for all purposes will be
considered the sole holder of such global note. Except as provided below, owners
of beneficial interests in a global note will:

         -     not receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive
               registered form; and

         -     not be considered holders of the global note.

         We will pay interest on and the redemption price and the repurchase
price of a global note to Cede & Co., as the registered owner of the global
note, by wire transfer of immediately available funds on each interest payment
date or the redemption or repurchase date, as the case may be. Neither we, the
trustee nor any paying agent will be responsible or liable:

         -     for the records relating to, or payments made on account of,
               beneficial ownership interests in a global note; or

         -     for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
               the beneficial ownership interests.

         Neither we, the trustee, registrar, paying agent nor conversion agent
will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or
indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and
procedures governing their operations. DTC has advised us that it will take any
action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes, including the presentation of
notes for exchange, only at the direction of one or more participants to whose
account with DTC interests in the global note are credited, and only in respect
of the principal amount of the notes represented by the global note as to which
the participant or participants has or have given such direction.

         DTC has advised us that it is:

         -     a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the
               State of New York, and a member of the Federal Reserve System;

         -     a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform
               Commercial Code; and

         -     a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of
               Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

         DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between
participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its
participants. Participants include securities brokers, dealers, banks, trust
companies and clearing corporations and other organizations. Some of the
participants or their representatives, together with other entities, own DTC.
Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers,
dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

                                       39


         DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate transfers of
interests in a global note among participants. However, DTC is under no
obligation to perform or continue to perform these procedures, and may
discontinue these procedures at any time.

         We will issue the notes in definitive certificated form if DTC notifies
us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or DTC ceases to be
a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary
is not appointed by us within 90 days. In addition, beneficial interests in a
global note may be exchanged for definitive certificated notes upon request by
or on behalf of DTC in accordance with customary procedures. We may determine at
any time and in our sole discretion that notes shall no longer be represented by
global notes, in which case we will issue certificates in definitive form in
exchange for the global notes.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

         We entered into a registration rights agreement dated March 5, 2004
with the initial purchasers pursuant to which we have, at our own expense, for
the benefit of the noteholders, filed with the SEC the shelf registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part, covering resale of the notes and
the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. Our obligation to
keep the shelf registration statement effective terminates upon the earlier of:

         -     such time as all of the registrable securities have been sold
               pursuant to the shelf registration statement or sold to the
               public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any
               other similar provision then in force (but not Rule 144A); or

         -     the expiration of the holding period applicable to such
               securities held by persons that are not affiliates of Amdocs
               under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, or any successor
               provision.

         When we use the term "registrable securities" in this section, we are
referring to the notes and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the
notes until the earliest of:

         -     the effective registration under the Securities Act and the
               resale of the securities in accordance with the registration
               statement;

         -     the expiration of the holding period with respect to the
               registrable securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities
               Act; and

         -     the sale of the registrable securities to the public pursuant to
               Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

         We may, upon written notice to all the holders of registrable
securities, postpone having the shelf registration statement declared effective
for a reasonable period not to exceed 90 days if we in good faith reasonably
believe that we possess material non-public information, the disclosure of which
would have a material adverse effect on us and our subsidiaries taken as a
whole.

         We may suspend the use of the prospectus under certain circumstances
relating to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC and
similar events. Any suspension period shall not exceed:

         -     30 days in any three-month period; or

         -     an aggregate of 90 days for all periods in any 12-month period.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will be permitted to suspend the use
of the prospectus for up to 60 days in any three-month period under certain
circumstances, relating to possible acquisitions, financings or other similar
transactions.

         We will pay predetermined liquidated damages on the interest payment
dates for the notes if the shelf registration statement is not timely filed or
declared effective or if the prospectus included in such registration statement
is unavailable for periods in excess of those permitted above:

                                       40


         -     on the notes at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the aggregate
               principal amount of the notes outstanding for the first 90-day
               period immediately following the failure to timely file or make
               effective a shelf registration statement or the failure to make
               the prospectus available for periods described above, and such
               rate will increase to 0.50% per annum thereafter until the
               registration statement is filed or made effective or until the
               prospectus is made available; and

         -     on the ordinary shares that have been issued upon conversion of
               the notes, at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of an amount equal to
               $1,000 divided by the conversion rate during such periods for the
               first 90-day period immediately following the failure to timely
               file or make effective a shelf registration statement or the
               failure to make the prospectus available for periods described
               above, and such rate will increase to 0.50% per annum thereafter
               until the registration statement is filed or made effective or
               until the prospectus is made available.

         In no event will liquidated damages accrue at an annual rate exceeding
0.50%.

         A holder who elects to sell registrable securities pursuant to the
shelf registration statement will be required to:

         -     be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus;

         -     deliver a prospectus to purchasers; and

         -     be subject to the provisions of the registration rights
               agreement, including indemnification provisions.

         Under the registration rights agreement we will:

         -     pay all customary expenses with respect to the shelf registration
               statement;

         -     provide each registered holder copies of the prospectus;

         -     notify holders when the shelf registration statement has become
               effective; and

         -     take other reasonable actions as are required to permit
               unrestricted resales of the registrable securities in accordance
               with the terms and conditions of the registration rights
               agreement.

         The plan of distribution of the shelf registration statement, of which
this prospectus is a part, permits resales of registrable securities by selling
securityholders through brokers and dealers.

         We agreed in the registration rights agreement to give notice to all
holders of the filing and effectiveness of the shelf registration statement, of
which this prospectus is a part.

         This summary in this prospectus of provisions of the registration
rights agreement is not complete. This summary is subject to, and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the registration rights
agreement, a copy of which has previously been filed with the SEC.

RULE 144A INFORMATION REQUEST

         We will furnish to the holders or beneficial holders of the notes or
the underlying ordinary shares and prospective purchasers, upon their request,
the information required under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until
such time as such securities are no longer "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, assuming these securities have not
been owned by an affiliate of ours.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

         We have appointed The Bank of New York, the trustee under the
indenture, as paying agent, conversion agent, note registrar and custodian for
the notes. The trustee or its affiliates may provide banking and other services
to us in the ordinary course of their business.

                                       41


         The indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the
trustee, if it or any of its affiliates is then our creditor, to obtain payment
of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received on any
claim as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates are permitted to
engage in other transactions with us. However, if the trustee or any affiliate
continues to have any conflicting interest and a default occurs with respect to
the notes, the trustee must eliminate such conflict or resign.

GOVERNING LAW

         The notes and the indenture are governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                                       42


                          DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

         The following description summarizes the most important terms of our
share capital. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the
information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should
refer to our Articles of Association.


         The share capital of Amdocs is (pound)5,750,000 divided into (i)
25,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of (pound)0.01 per share and (ii)
550,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of (pound)0.01 per share,
consisting of 500,000,000 voting ordinary shares and 50,000,000 non-voting
ordinary shares. As of August 31, 2004, 207,183,394 ordinary shares were
outstanding (net of treasury shares) and no non-voting ordinary shares or
preferred shares were outstanding. The rights, preferences and restrictions
attaching to each class of the shares are as follows:


     PREFERRED SHARES

         -     Issue-- the preferred shares may be issued from time to time in
               one or more series of any number of shares up to the amount
               authorized.

         -     Authorization to Issue Preferred Shares -- authority is vested in
               the directors from time to time to authorize the issue of one or
               more series of preferred shares and to provide for the
               designations, powers, preferences and relative participating,
               optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations
               or restrictions thereon.

         -     Relative Rights -- all shares of any one series of preferred
               shares must be identical with each other in all respects, except
               that shares of any one series issued at different times may
               differ as to the dates from which dividends shall be cumulative.

         -     Liquidation -- in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
               winding-up, the holders of our preferred shares are entitled to
               preference with respect to payment and to receive payment (at the
               rate fixed in any resolution or resolutions adopted by the
               directors in such case) plus an amount equal to all dividends
               accumulated to the date of final distribution to such holders.
               The holders of preferred shares are entitled to no further
               payment other than that stated above. If upon any liquidation our
               assets are insufficient to pay in full the amount stated above,
               then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of our
               preferred shares.

         -     Voting Rights -- except as otherwise provided for by the
               directors upon the issue of any new series of preferred shares,
               the holders of shares of preferred shares have no right or power
               to vote on any question or in any proceeding or to be represented
               at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of members.

     ORDINARY SHARES AND NON-VOTING ORDINARY SHARES

         Except as otherwise provided by the Memorandum of Association and
Articles of Association, the ordinary shares and non-voting ordinary shares are
identical and entitle holders thereof to the same rights and privileges.

         -     Dividends -- when and as dividends are declared on our shares,
               the holders of voting ordinary shares and non-voting ordinary
               shares are entitled to share equally, share for share, in such
               dividends except that if dividends are declared which are payable
               in voting ordinary shares or non-voting ordinary shares,
               dividends must be declared which are payable at the same rate in
               both classes of shares.

         -     Conversion of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares into Voting Ordinary
               Shares -- upon the transfer of non-voting ordinary shares from
               the original holder thereof to any third party not affiliated
               with such original holder, non-voting ordinary shares are
               redesignated in our books as voting ordinary shares and
               automatically convert into the same number of voting ordinary
               shares.

                                       43


         -     Liquidation -- upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up,
               any of our assets remaining after creditors and the holders of
               any preferred shares have been paid in full shall be distributed
               to the holders of voting ordinary shares and non-voting ordinary
               shares equally share for share.

         -     Voting Rights -- the holders of voting ordinary shares are
               entitled to vote on all matters to be voted on by the members,
               and the holders of non-voting ordinary shares are not entitled to
               any voting rights.

         -     Preferences -- the voting ordinary shares and non-voting ordinary
               shares are subject to all the powers, rights, privileges,
               preferences and priorities of the preferred shares as are set out
               in the Articles of Association.

                                       44


             COMPARISON OF UNITED STATES AND GUERNSEY CORPORATE LAW


         The following discussion is a summary of the material differences
between United States and Guernsey corporate law relevant to an investment in
the notes and our ordinary shares. The following discussion is based upon laws
and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this
prospectus, all of which are subject to change.


         Under the laws of many jurisdictions in the United States, controlling
shareholders generally have certain "fiduciary" responsibilities to minority
shareholders. Shareholder action by controlling shareholders must be taken in
good faith and actions by such shareholders that are obviously unreasonable may
be declared null and void. Guernsey law protecting the interests of minority
shareholders may not be as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting
minority shareholders in United States jurisdictions.

         Under Guernsey law, an individual shareholder cannot, without the
authority of the majority of the shareholders of the corporation, initiate
litigation in the corporation's name, but an individual shareholder may seek to
enforce the corporation's rights by suing in representative form on behalf of
himself and all of the other shareholders of the corporation (except the
wrongdoers where the complaint is against other shareholders) against the
wrongdoers, who may include directors. In these circumstances, the corporation
itself may be joined as a nominal defendant in order that it can be bound by the
judgment and, if an action results in any property or damages recovered, such
recovery goes not to the plaintiff, but to the corporation. Alternatively,
Guernsey law makes specific provision to enable a shareholder to apply to the
court for relief on the ground that the affairs of the corporation are being or
have been conducted in a manner that is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of
certain shareholders (including at least himself) or any actual or proposed act
or omission of the corporation is or would be so prejudicial. In such
circumstances, the court has wide discretion to make orders to regulate the
conduct of the corporation's affairs in the future, to require the corporation
to refrain from doing or continuing to do an act that the applicant has
complained it has omitted to do, to authorize civil proceedings to be brought in
the name and on behalf of the corporation and to provide for the purchase of
shares of any shareholder of the corporation by other members or by the
corporation itself.

         As in most United States jurisdictions, unless approved by a special
resolution of our shareholders, our directors do not have the power to take
certain actions, including an amendment of our Memorandum of Association or
Articles of Association or an increase or reduction in our authorized capital.
Directors of a Guernsey corporation, without shareholder approval, in certain
instances may, among other things, implement a reorganization and effect certain
mergers or consolidations, certain sales, transfers, exchanges or dispositions
of assets, property, parts of the business or securities of the corporation; or
any combination thereof, if they determine any such action is in the best
interests of the corporation, its creditors or its shareholders.

         As in most United States jurisdictions, the board of directors of a
Guernsey corporation is charged with the management of the affairs of the
corporation. In most United States jurisdictions, directors owe a fiduciary duty
to the corporation and its shareholders, including a duty of care, pursuant to
which directors must properly apprise themselves of all reasonably available
information, and a duty of loyalty, pursuant to which they must protect the
interests of the corporation and refrain from conduct that injures the
corporation or its shareholders or that deprives the corporation or its
shareholders of any profit or advantage. Under Guernsey law, directors have
comparable fiduciary duties. Many United States jurisdictions have enacted
various statutory provisions that permit the monetary liability of directors to
be eliminated or limited. Guernsey has not adopted provisions eliminating or
limiting the liabilities of directors, although Guernsey law protecting the
interests of shareholders may not be as protective in all circumstances as the
law protecting shareholders in United States jurisdictions. Under our Articles
of Association, we are obligated to indemnify any person who is made or
threatened to be made a party to a legal or administrative proceeding by virtue
of being a director, officer or agent of Amdocs, provided that

                                       45


we have no obligation to indemnify any such persons for any claims they incur or
sustain by or through their own willful act or default.

                                       46


             CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following summary describes the anticipated material United States
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of
the notes and ordinary shares into which the notes may be converted, as of the
date hereof. The information provided below is based on the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and regulations, rulings and judicial
decisions all as in effect as of the date hereof, all of which may be repealed,
revoked or modified with possible retroactive effect. The summary applies only
to holders that purchase notes in the initial offering at their issue price and
hold the notes and ordinary shares into which the notes may be converted as
capital assets for tax purposes. The summary does not address tax considerations
that may be relevant to particular investors because of their specific
circumstances, or because they are subject to special rules. For example, this
summary does not address tax considerations applicable to investors to whom
special tax rules may apply, such as:

         -     banks or other financial institutions;

         -     entities treated as partnerships or other flow-through entities
               for United States federal income tax purposes;

         -     U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is
               other than the United States dollar;

         -     tax-exempt entities;

         -     insurance companies;

         -     regulated investment companies;

         -     dealers in securities or currencies; or

         -     persons that will hold notes or the ordinary shares into which
               the notes may be converted as a hedge against currency risk or as
               part of a straddle, synthetic security, conversion transaction or
               other integrated investment comprised of the notes or the
               ordinary shares into which the notes may be converted (as the
               case may be) and one or more other investments.

         Finally, the summary does not describe the effect of the federal gift
or estate tax laws or the effect of any applicable foreign, state or local laws.
This discussion is for general information only and is not intended as legal or
tax advice to any particular investor. This summary does not provide a complete
analysis or listing of all potential tax considerations. Prospective holders
should consult their tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences to them
of purchasing, holding or disposing of the notes and the ordinary shares into
which the notes may be converted.

         For purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a
beneficial owner of a note or our ordinary shares acquired upon conversion of a
note that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity subject to tax
as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes that is created
or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United
States federal income taxation regardless of source, or (iv) a trust if a court
within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its
administration and one or more United States persons have authority to control
all of its substantial decisions. A "Non-U.S. Holder" is any beneficial owner of
a note or our ordinary shares acquired upon conversion of a note that is not a
U.S. Holder. If a partnership or other flow-through entity is a beneficial owner
of a note or ordinary shares, the tax treatment of the partner will depend upon
the status of the partner or other owner and the activities of the partnership
or other entity.

                                       47


TAX CONSEQUENCES TO U.S. HOLDERS

     INTEREST

         U.S. Holders will be required to recognize as ordinary income any
interest paid or accrued on the notes at the time that such payments are accrued
or received, in accordance with their regular method of accounting. In general,
if the terms of a debt instrument entitle a holder to receive payments, other
than fixed periodic interest and certain de minimis payments, that exceed the
issue price of the instrument, the holder may be required to recognize the
additional amounts as "original issue discount" over the term of the instrument.
We believe that the notes will not be issued with original issue discount for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.

         We may make payments of liquidated damages or certain other contingent
payments to holders of the notes:

         -     if we do not file, or cause to be declared effective, or keep
               effective, a registration statement, or if the prospectus
               included in such registration statement is unavailable for
               specified periods, as described under "Description of Notes --
               Registration Rights";

         -     if Guernsey imposes an obligation to withhold or deduct certain
               amounts from the payments in respect of the notes, as described
               under "Description of Notes -- Additional Tax Amounts"; and

         -     if we choose to pay the repurchase price of the notes in ordinary
               shares or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, as described
               under "Description of Notes--Repurchase at Option of the Holder".

         We believe that there is only a remote possibility that we will make
any of these payments, and therefore we do not intend to treat the notes as
subject to the special rules governing certain "contingent payment" debt
instruments (which, if applicable, would affect the timing, amount and character
of income with respect to a note). Our determination in this regard, while not
binding on the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, is binding on holders
unless they disclose their contrary position to the IRS. If, contrary to
expectations, we make any of the payments described above, U.S. Holders may be
required to recognize additional interest income.

     CONVERSION OF NOTES INTO ORDINARY SHARES

         A U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss upon conversion of the
notes solely into our ordinary shares, except with respect to cash received in
lieu of a fractional share. The U.S. Holder's basis in the ordinary shares
received on conversion will be the same as the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis
in the notes at the time of conversion (reduced by any basis allocable to any
fractional share interest). The holding period for the ordinary shares received
on conversion will generally include the holding period of the notes that were
converted.

         Cash received in lieu of a fractional share upon conversion will
generally be treated as a payment in exchange for such fractional share.
Accordingly, the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share will generally
result in capital gain or loss (measured by the difference between the cash
received for the fractional share and the holder's adjusted tax basis in the
fractional share).

     ADJUSTMENT TO CONVERSION RATE

         The conversion rate of the notes will be adjusted if we distribute cash
with respect to shares of our ordinary shares and in certain other
circumstances. See "Description of Notes - Conversion of Notes." Under section
305(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations, an increase in the
conversion rate as a result of a taxable distribution to our ordinary
shareholders will generally result in a deemed distribution to you. Other
adjustments in the conversion rate (or failures to make such adjustments) that
have the effect of increasing your proportionate interest in our assets or
earnings may have the same result. Any deemed distribution to you will be
subject to tax as a dividend to the extent of

                                       48


our current or accumulated earnings and profits. In such a case, U.S. Holders
will recognize dividend income as a result of an event pursuant to which they
receive no cash or other property that could be used to pay the related tax. See
"--Dividends" below. Such deemed dividend income may not qualify for
preferential U.S. income tax rates generally afforded to dividend income under
recently enacted legislation. Holders of notes are advised to consult with their
tax advisors with respect to the potential tax consequences of such constructive
distributions.

     SALE, EXCHANGE, REDEMPTION OR OTHER TAXABLE DISPOSITION OF NOTES

         A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the
sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of the notes in an
amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash proceeds and the
fair market value of any property received (except to the extent such amount is
attributable to accrued interest income not previously included in income, which
is subject to tax as ordinary income) and (ii) such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax
basis in the note. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note will generally
equal the cost of the note to such holder. Such capital gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the notes were held for more than one year.
The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. If we
repurchase the notes in exchange for our ordinary shares in certain
circumstances at the option of the holder, such a repurchase generally will be
treated in the same manner as a conversion to the extent of the portion of the
notes exchanged for our ordinary shares. See "--Conversion of Notes into
Ordinary Shares."

     DIVIDENDS

         Dividends paid on our ordinary shares will generally be includable in
the income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary income to the extent of our current or
accumulated earnings and profits, with any excess treated first as a return of
capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's basis in the ordinary shares, which
will not be subject to tax, and thereafter as capital gain. Pursuant to recently
enacted legislation, dividends on our ordinary shares paid to certain U.S.
Holders (including individuals) may qualify for preferential U.S. federal income
tax rates (a maximum rate of 15%) if we constitute a "qualified foreign
corporation" and certain other conditions are satisfied. We believe that we
constitute a "qualified foreign corporation."

     SALE, EXCHANGE OR OTHER TAXABLE DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES

         Upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our ordinary
shares, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the
difference between (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any
property received upon the sale or exchange and (ii) such holder's adjusted tax
basis in the ordinary shares. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term
capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period of the ordinary shares
is more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange. The deductibility of
capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

     PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANY CONSIDERATIONS

         If, during any taxable year, 75% or more of our gross income consists
of certain types of passive income, or the average value during a taxable year
of passive assets (generally assets that generate passive income) is 50% more of
the average value of all of our assets, we will be treated as a "passive foreign
investment company" under U.S. federal income tax law for such year and
succeeding years. If we are treated as a passive foreign investment company, a
U.S. Holder may be subject to increased tax liability upon the sale of our
ordinary shares or upon the receipt of certain distributions, unless such U.S.
Holder makes an election to mark our ordinary shares to market annually.

         Based on an analysis of our financial position, we believe that we have
not been a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax
purposes for any preceding taxable year and expect that we will not become a
passive foreign investment company during the current taxable year. However,
because the tests for determining passive foreign investment company status are
applied as of the end of each taxable year and are dependent upon a number of
factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the value of our
assets, based on the market price of our ordinary shares, and the amount and

                                       49


type of our gross income, we cannot assure you that we will not become a passive
foreign investment company in the future or that the IRS will agree with our
conclusion regarding our current passive foreign investment company status. We
intend to use reasonable efforts to avoid becoming a passive foreign investment
company.

         Rules relating to a passive foreign investment company are very
complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S.
federal income tax considerations discussed above and the applicability of
passive foreign investment company rules to their investments in our ordinary
shares.

SPECIAL TAX RULES APPLICABLE TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

         Payments (or deemed payments attributable to adjustments in the
conversion rate) on the notes or the ordinary shares to a Non-U.S. Holder, or
gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the notes or the ordinary
shares by a Non-U.S. Holder, will not be subject to U.S. federal income or
withholding tax, as the case may be, unless such income is effectively connected
with a trade or business conducted by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States,
or, in the case of gain, such Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual
who holds the notes or ordinary shares, as the case may be, as a capital asset
and who is present in the United States more than 182 days in the taxable year
of the sale and certain other conditions are met.

         U.S. trade or business income of a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be
subject to regular United States federal income tax in the same manner as if it
were realized by a U.S. Holder. Non-U.S. Holders that realize U.S. trade or
business income with respect to the notes or ordinary shares should consult
their tax advisors as to the treatment of such income or gain.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING

     U.S. HOLDERS

         Payments of interest or dividends made by us on, or the proceeds of the
sale or other disposition of, the notes or ordinary shares may be subject to
information reporting and United States federal backup withholding tax at the
rate of 28% if the U.S. Holder who receives such payments fails to supply an
accurate taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with
applicable United States information reporting or certification requirements.
Any amount withheld from a payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding
rules is allowable as a credit against the holder's United States federal income
tax, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

     NON-U.S. HOLDERS.

         A Non-U.S. Holder may be required to comply with certification
procedures to establish that the holder is not a U.S. person in order to avoid
backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements.

         THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE.
ACCORDINGLY, EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE
PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING,
HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES AND OUR ORDINARY SHARES. TAX ADVISORS SHOULD
ALSO BE CONSULTED AS TO THE U.S. ESTATE AND GIFT TAX CONSEQUENCES AND THE
FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF THE NOTES AND
OUR ORDINARY SHARES, AS WELL AS THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN
APPLICABLE LAWS.

                                       50


                       CERTAIN GUERNSEY TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         Under the laws of Guernsey, as currently in effect, a holder of the
notes (and, upon conversion, a holder of ordinary shares) who is not a resident
of Guernsey and who does not carry on business in Guernsey through a permanent
establishment situated there, would be exempt from Guernsey income tax on
interest and dividends paid with respect to such notes and such ordinary shares,
respectively, and would not be liable for Guernsey income tax on gains realized
upon the sale or other disposition of such notes and such ordinary shares. In
addition, Guernsey would not impose a withholding tax on interest and dividends
paid by us to the holders of such notes and such ordinary shares.

         There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by
Guernsey, and the notes and ordinary shares generally would not be subject to
any transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges on issuance or transfer.

EUROPEAN UNION SAVINGS TAX DIRECTIVE

         The European Union adopted a directive regarding taxation of savings
income on June 3, 2003. It is proposed that, subject to a number of important
conditions being met, each EU member state will, from January 1, 2005, be
required to provide to the tax authorities of another EU member state details of
payments of interest (or other similar income) paid by a person within its
jurisdiction to or for the benefit of an individual resident in that other EU
member state; however, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg will instead apply a
withholding tax system for a transitional period in relation to such payments.

         Although Guernsey is not subject to the EU savings tax directive, the
Advisory and Finance Committee of Guernsey has announced that, in keeping with
Guernsey's policy of constructive international engagement, Guernsey proposes to
introduce a withholding tax system in respect of payments of interest, or other
similar income, made to an individual beneficial owner resident in an EU member
state by an issuer or paying agent situated in Guernsey. The withholding tax
system would apply for a transitional period prior to the implementation of a
system of automatic exchange of information regarding such payments. During this
transitional period, such an individual beneficial owner resident in an EU
member state will be entitled to request an issuer or paying agent situated in
Guernsey not to withhold tax from such payments but instead to apply a system by
which the details of such payments are communicated to the tax authorities of
the EU member state in which the beneficial owner is resident.

         As indicated above under "Description of Notes--Additional Tax
Amounts," we will not make any additional payments to holders to compensate them
for any tax that is required to be withheld as a result of these proposals.

                                       51


                             SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

         We originally issued the notes on March 5, 2004 to Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated, whom we refer to as the initial purchasers of the notes. The
initial purchasers advised us that the notes were resold by them in transactions
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons
reasonably believed by the initial purchasers to be "qualified institutional
buyers," as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act. These subsequent
purchasers, listed below as selling securityholders, or their transferees,
pledgees or donees or their successors, may from time to time offer and sell any
or all the notes and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes
pursuant to this prospectus.

         The selling securityholders have represented to us that they purchased
the notes and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes for
their own account for investment only and not with a view toward selling or
distributing them, except through sales registered under the Securities Act or
exemptions therefrom. We agreed with the initial purchasers to file this
registration statement to register the resale of the notes and the sale of the
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. We agreed to prepare and
file all necessary amendments and supplements to the registration statement to
keep it effective until the date on which the notes and the ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the notes no longer qualify as "registrable
securities" under our registration rights agreement.


         The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information
regarding the selling securityholders based upon information provided by or on
behalf of the selling securityholders in a questionnaire and is as of the date
specified by the securityholders in those questionnaires. The percentages set
forth below are based on 207,183,394 of our ordinary shares outstanding as of
August 31, 2004.


         The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the notes or
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes. Thus, we cannot estimate
the amount of the notes or the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the
notes that will be held by the selling securityholders upon termination of any
sales. The column showing ownership after completion of the offering assumes
that the selling securityholders will sell all of the securities offered by this
prospectus. In addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their notes since
the date on which they provided the information about their notes in
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

         The information contained under the column "Ordinary Shares
Beneficially Owned Upon Conversion of the Notes" represents ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of notes listed and assumes
conversion of the full amount of the notes at the initial conversion rate of
23.1911 shares per each $1,000 principal of the notes. However, the maximum
conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under "Description of
Notes - Conversion of Notes - Conversion Rate Adjustments." As a result, the
amount of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes may increase or
decrease in the future.

         Except as indicated below, none of the selling securityholders has had
any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.
This table assumes that other holders of notes or any future transferees from
any such holder do not beneficially own any ordinary shares other than ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


         We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the notes and
the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes offered by this
prospectus. The selling securityholders may offer and sell the notes and
ordinary shares covered by this prospectus from time to time. The selling
securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to
the timing, manner and size of each sale. If the notes and the ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the notes are sold through underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents, the selling securityholders will be responsible for
underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. Such notes and
shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing
market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time or
at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in one or more transactions,
which may involve block transactions:


         -     on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which
               the notes and shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

         -     in the over-the-counter market; or

         -     in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or
               in the over-the-counter market.

         In addition, the selling securityholders may sell ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the notes by one or more of, or a combination of,
the following methods:

         -     purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
               broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

         -     ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
               broker solicits purchasers;

         -     block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt
               to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion
               of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

         -     in privately negotiated transactions; and

         -     in options transactions.

         In addition, the selling securityholders may sell any shares that
qualify for sale under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

         To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented
from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection
with distributions of the notes and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion
of the notes, the selling securityholders may pledge the notes and the ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes to a broker-dealer or other
financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other
financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged notes and the ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes pursuant to this prospectus, as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction. The selling securityholders
may also loan the notes and the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the
notes to a broker-dealer that in turn may sell the securities.

         In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling
securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from
the selling securityholders in customary or specifically negotiated amounts.

         In offering the notes and ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of
the notes covered by this prospectus, the selling securityholders and any
broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling securityholders may be treated
as "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection

                                       55


with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling securityholders and the
compensation of any broker-dealer may be treated as underwriting discounts and
commissions.

         Our ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

         In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if
applicable, the selling securityholders may be required to sell their notes and
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes in such jurisdictions only
through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, some states may
restrict the selling securityholders from selling notes and ordinary shares
issuable upon conversion of the notes unless the securities have been registered
or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

         We have advised the selling securityholders that the anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of notes and
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes in the market and to the
activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, we
will make copies of this prospectus, as it may be supplemented or amended from
time to time, available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of
satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may
include delivery through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange pursuant
to Rule 153 under the Securities Act with respect to our ordinary shares. The
selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the notes and ordinary shares issuable upon
conversion of the notes against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.

         At the time a particular offer of notes and ordinary shares issuable
upon conversion of the notes is made, if required, we will distribute a
prospectus supplement that will set forth the number of notes and ordinary
shares issuable upon conversion of the notes being offered and the terms of the
offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase
price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item
constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or
reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.
In addition, to the extent required, we may amend or supplement this prospectus
from time to time to describe a particular plan of distribution.


         In addition, upon receiving notice from a selling securityholder that a
donee, pledgee or transferee or other successor-in-interest intends to sell
notes or ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, we will file a supplement
to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act to identify
the transferee.


         We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

         We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the
registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective
until the earlier of (1) the date there are no longer any registrable securities
and (2) the date on which all of the securities being offered hereby held by
persons that are not our affiliates can be sold under Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act, whichever occurs first.

                                  LEGAL MATTERS


         The validity of the ordinary shares and the notes offered hereby will
be passed upon for us by Carey Olsen, Island of Guernsey. Certain legal matters
in connection with the offering will be passed upon for us by Wilmer Cutler
Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, New York, New York.

         The consolidated financial statements of Certen Inc. incorporated in
this prospectus by reference from Amdocs Limited's Annual Report on Form 20-F/A

accounting and auditing.


                       ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES


         We are incorporated under the laws of the Island of Guernsey. Several
of our directors and officers are not residents of the United States, and a
significant portion of our assets and the assets of those persons are located
outside the United States. Where legal proceedings are commenced in the courts
of the United States under the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal
securities laws against us, our officers or directors resident in a foreign
country, or against any underwriters or experts named in the registration
statement, the question of service will be governed by U.S. law for the purposes
of the action.



         The United States and the United Kingdom are parties to the Hague
Convention of November 15, 1965 on the service abroad of judicial and
extrajudicial documents in civil and commercial matters (the "Hague Convention")
and the United Kingdom has extended the application of the Hague Convention to
the Channel Islands, including Guernsey. It is expected that it would be
possible for U.S. court documents to be served in Guernsey on us, our officers
or directors, or any underwriters or experts named in the registration statement
(provided such persons are resident in Guernsey) in the manners permitted under
the terms of the Hague Convention.



         It is doubtful that the Royal Court of Guernsey would recognize service
of Guernsey legal proceedings on us or any officer or director, or any
underwriter or expert named in the registration statement, outside of Guernsey
unless permission had first been obtained from that court so to do. The Royal
Court of Guernsey does recognize service of Guernsey legal proceedings by the
Sergeant's office in Guernsey on us at our registered office in Guernsey.



         We have been advised by Carey Olsen, our Guernsey counsel, that there
is doubt as to the enforceability against our directors and officers in
Guernsey, whether in original actions in a Guernsey court or in actions in a
Guernsey court for the enforcement of judgments of a U.S. court, of civil
liabilities predicated solely upon the laws of the United States, including the
federal securities laws.


         If non-Guernsey resident investors obtained a judgment based on the
civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws from the Royal
Court of Guernsey against us, our officers or directors, underwriters or experts
named in the registration statement, such judgment would be enforceable against
any of the defendants in the same manner as any judgment of the Royal Court of
Guernsey. That is to say that the judgment creditors would be entitled to
enforce their judgment against any Guernsey assets (whether personalty or
realty) of the judgment debtors.



         There is no statutory regime under which the reciprocal enforcement of
judgments may be effected between the United States and Guernsey. However,
subject to certain time and other limitations, the Royal Court of Guernsey may
permit the foreign judgment creditor to sue in Guernsey on the foreign judgment.


         In order for the Royal Court of Guernsey to entertain an action to sue
on a foreign judgment, it is expected that the following criteria would have to
be met:




1.       The foreign court is recognized by the Royal Court of Guernsey as
         having jurisdiction to determine the dispute. It is likely that such
         jurisdiction will be recognized in the following circumstances:



         -    If the judgment debtor was present in the foreign country at the
              time the foreign proceedings were instituted;



         -    If the judgment debtor was claimant or counterclaimant in the
              proceedings in the foreign court;


         -    If the judgment debtor, being a defendant in the foreign court,
              submitted to the jurisdiction of that court by voluntarily
              appearing in the proceedings; or


         -    If the judgment debtor, being a defendant in the original court,
              had before the commencement of the proceedings agreed, in respect
              of the subject matter of the proceedings to submit to the
              jurisdiction of that court or of the courts of that country.


2.       The foreign judgment was not obtained by fraud, is not contrary to
         public policy in Guernsey and the proceedings were not contrary to the
         principles of natural justice. This is likely to include the
         requirement that the judgment debtor was given sufficient notice of the
         proceedings.


         The foreign judgment must be final and conclusive on the merits and is
         for a definite sum of money, other than a sum in respect of taxes,
         fines or other penalties.

                                 AMDOCS LIMITED

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1.   Basis of Presentation

         Amdocs Limited (the "Company") is a leading provider of software
    products and services to the communications industry. The Company and its
    subsidiaries operate in one operating segment, providing integrated customer
    management systems and related services primarily for the communications
    industry. The Company designs, develops, markets, implements, supports and
    operates information systems solutions, including Managed Services,
    primarily for leading communications companies throughout the world.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have
    been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
    the United States ("GAAP"). In the opinion of the Company's management, all
    adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited
    interim consolidated financial statements have been included herein and are
    of a normal recurring nature.

         The preparation of financial statements during interim periods requires
    management to make numerous estimates and assumptions that impact the
    reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and
    assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effect of revisions is
    reflected in the results of operations of the interim periods in which
    changes are determined to be necessary.

         The results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are
    not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal
    year. These statements do not include all information and footnotes
    necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of
    operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. These statements should
    be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements
    for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, set forth in the Company's
    Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on December 24, 2003 with the Securities
    and Exchange Commission.

         Reclassification

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

2.       Significant Accounting Policy

         Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

         The Company follows Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
    "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its employee
    stock options. Pursuant to this accounting standard, the Company records
    deferred compensation for share options granted to employees at the date of
    grant based on the difference between the exercise price of the options and
    the market value of the underlying shares at that date. Deferred
    compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of
    the underlying options. Employee stock-based compensation cost of $354 and
    $380 is reflected in net income for the three months and nine months ended
    June 30, 2004, respectively. No employee stock-based compensation cost was
    reflected in net income for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
    2003.

         As presented below, the Company determined net income and earnings per
     share information as if the fair value method described in Statements of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
     Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
     Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of
     Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123", had been applied
     to its employee stock-based compensation. The Company utilized the
     Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value, which is one of
     several methods that can be used under SFAS No. 123. The Black-Scholes
     option valuation model was developed for use


                                       63

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

         (dollar and share amounts in thousands, except per share data)


     in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting
     restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require
     the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected share
     price volatility. The Company's options have characteristics significantly
     different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input
     assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates.

         The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant
     using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions for
     the presented periods (all in weighted averages):

         The pro forma results for the three months and nine months ended June
     30, 2003 have been revised due to a correction of the stock based employee
     compensation expense amounts for such periods. These corrections resulted
     in a decrease in pro forma net income of $15,499 and $32,552 in the three
     months and nine months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and a decrease in
     pro forma diluted earnings per share of $0.07 and $0.15 in the three months
     and nine months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. The correction for
     fiscal 2003 resulted in a decrease in pro forma net income of $33,732 and a
     decrease in pro forma diluted earnings per share of $0.15. The Company has
     analyzed the impact of the correction only for the aforementioned periods.

3.       New Accounting Standards

         Variable Interest Entities

         In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
     issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN No. 46"), "Consolidation of Variable
     Interest Entities", which was further revised in December 2003. FIN No. 46
     requires the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a
     majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the
     entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership,
     contractual or other financial interests in the entity. FIN No. 46
     currently has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
     and results of operations.

4.       Related Party Transactions

         The Company had licensed software and provided computer systems
     integration and related services to Certen Inc. ("Certen") prior to the
     acquisition of the remaining 90% of Certen by the Company on July 2, 2003
     (see Note 10). As a result of the acquisition of the remaining 90% of
     Certen by the Company, commencing on the acquisition date, the fair market
     value of Certen's assets and liabilities has been included in the Company's
     consolidated balance sheet and the results of Certen's operations are
     included in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Certen is now
     a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Certen ceased to be a related
     party as of July 2, 2003, according to SFAS No. 57, "Related Party
     Disclosures".

        (1)   The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three
            months and nine months ended June 30, 2003 includes exchangeable
            shares held by shareholders of Amdocs Canada, Inc. (formerly
            Solect Technology Group Inc. ("Solect")) pursuant to the Company's
            acquisition of Solect in April 2000, which were exchangeable for
            the Company's ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. As of August
            2003, none of the exchangeable shares remained outstanding.

         The effect of the 2% Convertible Notes due June 1, 2008 issued by the
     Company in May 2001 (the "2% Notes") on diluted earnings per share was
     anti-dilutive for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
     2003, and, therefore, was not included in the above calculation. The effect
     of the 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the "0.50% Notes") issued
     by the Company in March 2004 on diluted earnings per share was not included
     in the above calculation due to the conditions on their conversion (see
     Note 11). The weighted average effect of the repurchase of ordinary shares
     by the Company has been included in the calculation of basic earnings per
     share.

9.   Repurchase of Securities

         Ordinary Shares

         On November 5, 2003, the Company announced that its board of directors
     had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 5,000 ordinary shares
     during fiscal 2004. The authorization permits the Company to purchase
     ordinary shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
     and at prices the Company deems appropriate. The Company stated that one of
     the main purposes of the repurchase program was to offset the dilutive
     effect of any future share issuances, including issuances pursuant to
     employee equity plans or in connection with acquisitions. During the three
     months ended December 31, 2003 the Company repurchased 4,990 ordinary
     shares under this repurchase program, for an aggregate purchase price of
     $123,993. No share repurchases under this program were made in the six
     months ended June 30, 2004.

         In connection with the Company's acquisition of XACCT Technologies Ltd.
     (see Note 10), the Company's board of directors approved the repurchase of
     ordinary shares to offset the dilutive effect of share issuances in the
     acquisition. The closing of the acquisition occurred in February 2004, and
     the Company repurchased 484 ordinary shares in February 2004 for an
     aggregate purchase price of $13,417.

         In connection with the Company's issuance of the 0.50% Notes (see Note
     11), the board of directors approved the repurchase of ordinary shares sold
     short by purchasers of the 0.50% Notes in negotiated transactions,
     concurrently with the sale of the notes, to offset the dilutive effect of
     the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the 0.50% Notes. The
     closing of the sale of the 0.50% Notes occurred in March 2004, and the
     Company repurchased 6,074 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price
     of $170,061, out of the 10,436 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of
     the 0.50% Notes, based on a conversion rate of 23.1911 shares per $1,000
     principal amount.

         On July 28, 2004 the Company announced that its board of directors had
     extended the Company's share repurchase program by authorizing the
     repurchase of up to $100,000 of its outstanding ordinary shares. The
     authorization permits the Company to purchase its ordinary shares in open
     market or privately negotiated transactions at times and prices considered
     appropriate by the Company. As of August 10, 2004, the Company had
     repurchased 2,219 ordinary shares under this repurchase program, for an
     aggregate purchase price of $46,811.

         Convertible Notes

         In July 2002, the board of directors authorized the Company to
     repurchase its outstanding 2% Notes, in such amounts, at such prices and at
     such times considered appropriate by the Company. During the three months
     ended December 31, 2003, the Company repurchased $5,000 aggregate principal
     amount of the 2% Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $4,987. During
     fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company repurchased $99,546 aggregate principal
     amount of the 2% Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $93,087.

         On June 1, 2004, the Company completed a cash offer for the 2% Notes.
     Pursuant to the indenture for the 2% Notes, each holder of the 2% Notes had
     the right to require the Company to repurchase on June 1, 2004 all or any
     part of such holder's notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal
     amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Under the terms of the 2% Notes,
     the Company had the option to pay for the 2% Notes with cash, ordinary
     shares, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares. The Company elected
     to pay for the notes solely with cash. The Company accepted for payment
     $395,110 principal amount of 2% Notes surrendered for repurchase pursuant
     to the offer. The untendered $344 principal amount of 2% Notes will remain
     as obligations of the Company, due June 1, 2008, in accordance with

     10. ACQUISITIONS

         CERTEN INC.

         On July 2, 2003, the Company acquired from Bell Canada ("Bell") its 90%
     ownership interest in Certen (renamed Amdocs Canada Managed Services, Inc.)
     for approximately $66,000 in cash. In addition, the Company had related
     transaction costs of approximately $3,000. The Company and Bell formed
     Certen in January 2001 to provide customer care and billing solutions to
     Bell and a number of Bell's affiliated companies. Prior to this
     acquisition, the Company owned 10% of Certen. As a result of the
     acquisition, Certen is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Since
     Certen's inception, the Company has provided customer care and billing
     software required by Certen, including related customization, installation,
     maintenance and other services. This acquisition expanded the Company's
     Managed Services offerings and positioned it as a major provider of Managed
     Services to the communications industry, and was its next logical step in
     the evolution of its relationship with Bell. In addition, as a result of
     this acquisition, the Company continued to develop an integrated billing
     platform to replace legacy systems built on a product-by-product basis.
     Following the acquisition, Certen continued to provide Managed Services to
     Bell as it did prior to the acquisition, and the wholly owned subsidiary
     contributes a positive cash flow to the Company. The acquisition did not
     affect the Company's liquidity position. The fair market value of Certen's
     assets and liabilities has been included in the Company's consolidated
     balance sheet and the results of Certen's operations have been included in
     the Company's consolidated statements of income, commencing on July 2,
     2003.

         On February 19, 2004, the Company acquired XACCT Technologies Ltd.
     ("XACCT"), a privately-held provider of mediation software to
     communications service providers. The Company acquired XACCT's outstanding

     space, enabling the collection, formatting and distribution of network
     usage events. With this acquisition, the Company achieves the capability to
     support end-to-end event processing, from network mediation through
     billing, for voice, data, content and commerce prepaid and postpaid
     transactions. The Company repurchased 484 ordinary shares in February 2004
     to offset the dilutive effect of shares issued in the acquisition. The fair

11.  0.50% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024

         In March 2004, the Company issued $450,000 aggregate principal amount
     of 0.50% Notes. The Company is obligated to pay interest on the 0.50% Notes
     semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 0.50% Notes
     are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of
     payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the
     Company. The 0.50% Notes are convertible, at the option of the holders at
     any time before the maturity date, into ordinary shares of the Company at a
     conversion rate of 23.1911 shares per one thousand dollars principal
     amount, representing a conversion price of approximately $43.12 per share,
     as follows: (i) during any fiscal quarter commencing after March 31, 2004,
     and only during that quarter if the closing sale price of the Company's
     ordinary shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20
     trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading
     day of the proceeding fiscal quarter (initially 130% of $43.12, or $56.06);
     (ii) upon the occurrence of specified credit rating events with respect to
     the notes; (iii) subject to certain exceptions, during the five business
     day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the
     trading price per note for each day of that measurement period was less
     than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of the Company's ordinary
     shares and the conversion rate; provided, however, holders may not convert
     their notes (in reliance on this subsection) if on any trading day during
     such measurement period the closing sale price of the Company's ordinary
     shares was between 100% and 130% of the then current conversion price of
     the notes (initially, between $43.12 and $56.06); (iv) if the notes have
     been called for redemption, or (v) upon the occurrence of specified
     corporate events. The 0.50% Notes are subject to redemption at any time on
     or after March 20, 2009, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company,
     at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and
     unpaid interest, if any, on such redemption date. The 0.50% Notes are
     subject to repurchase, at the holders' option, on March 15, 2009, 2014 and
     2019, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus
     accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such repurchase date. The Company
     may choose to pay the repurchase price in cash, ordinary shares or a
     combination of cash and ordinary shares.

12.  Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction Programs

         Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2003

         In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company implemented a series
     of measures designed to reduce costs and improve productivity, with
     targeted quarterly savings of approximately $8,000. As part of this plan,
     the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 400 employees,
     representing approximately 4% of the Company's worldwide workforce of 9,000
     full-time employees, vacated facilities in different centers around the
     world and implemented other cost reduction measures, including travel cuts
     and reduction in other discretionary costs.

         The restructuring charge associated with these actions and recorded in
     the first quarter of fiscal 2003 was $9,956. Approximately $5,816 of the
     total charge was paid in cash as of June 30, 2004. The remainder of the
     charge, comprised of facility related costs, is expected to be paid out
     through June 2008.

         Details of $9,956 Restructuring Charge:

         The Company recorded a charge of $4,011 related to employee separation
     costs in connection with the termination of employment of software
     information technology specialists and administrative professionals from
     various locations around the world. The Company recorded a charge of $4,022
     related to facilities, representing rent obligations relating to vacated
     facilities in Raanana, Israel and St. Louis,

     write-offs,  principally for leasehold improvements in Raanana,  Israel and
     St. Louis, Missouri that were abandoned.

         The first quarter of fiscal 2003 restructuring charge is comprised of

         The financial savings of these actions, of approximately $8,000
     quarterly commencing in the second quarter of 2003, is reflected as a
     reduction in operating expense. These cost savings may not be permanent as
     increased activity levels resulting from, among other factors,
     acquisitions, new Managed Services agreements and increased revenue, may
     require an increase in headcount and other increased spending.

         Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2002

         In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company implemented a cost
     reduction program targeted to reduce costs by approximately $30,000
     quarterly in response to a decline of the forecasted revenue for the third
     and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002. The decline resulted from, among other
     factors, slowdowns in customer buying decisions in the third quarter of
     fiscal 2002, stemming from overall reductions in the capital investment
     budgets of many communications service providers, leading to fewer new
     contracts than expected, as well as from smaller than expected initial
     spending commitments and reduced discretionary spending under contracts
     with some customers.

         The restructuring charge associated with these actions and recorded in
     the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 was $20,919. Approximately $16,957 of the
     total charge was paid in cash as of June 30, 2004. The remainder of the
     charge, comprised of facility related costs, is expected to be paid out
     through April 2012.

         Details of $20,919 Restructuring Charge:

         The Company recorded a charge of $11,353 related to employee separation
     costs in connection with the termination of employment of approximately
     1,000 employees, representing approximately 10% of the Company's worldwide
     workforce of 9,900 full-time employees. The actual number of employees
     terminated approximated original estimates. There was not a single group of
     employees or business function that was solely impacted by these measures;
     instead it impacted information technology specialists and administration
     professionals across a broad range of functions according to the areas with
     reduced activities. The Company recorded a charge of $7,880 related to
     facilities, representing rent obligations relating to vacated facilities in
     various locations in Canada, Israel and the United States.

     The  Company  also  recorded a  provision  of $1,584 for asset  write-offs,
     principally  for leasehold  improvements  in Canada,  Israel and the United
     States that were abandoned.

         In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, as part of a plan to achieve
     increased operational efficiency and to more closely monitor and reduce
     costs, the Company consolidated its Stamford, Connecticut data center into
     its Champaign, Illinois facility and closed the Stamford facility.

         The restructuring charge associated with this action and recorded in
     the first quarter of fiscal 2002 was $13,311. Approximately $6,789 of the
     total charge was paid in cash as of June 30, 2004. The remainder of the
     charge, comprised of facility related costs, is expected to be paid out
     through August 2008.

         Details of $13,311 Restructuring charge:

         Approximately $6,255 of the total restructuring charge related to
     facilities and represented rent obligations outstanding for the Stamford
     site. Approximately $4,126 of the total restructuring charge related to the
     write-off of leasehold improvements at the Stamford site that were
     abandoned. The Company also recorded a provision of $2,530 related to
     employee separation costs in connection with the termination of employment
     of 166 employees.

          The operating costs related to the Stamford site that were eliminated

13.  Employee Benefits

         FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about
     Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", requires additional
     disclosures about assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit
     cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit
     plans.

         As a result of the Company's acquisition of Certen (see Note 10) on
     July 2, 2003, the Company now maintains several non-contributory defined
     benefit plans that provide for pension, other retirement and
     post-employment benefits for Certen employees based on length of service
     and rate of pay. Contributions by the Company are based on various
     generally accepted actuarial methods and reflect actuarial assumptions
     concerning future investment returns, salary projections and future service
     benefits. Plan assets consist primarily of Canadian and other equities,
     government and corporate bonds, debentures and secured mortgages, which are
     held in units of the BCE Master Trust Fund, a trust established by Bell.

         The net periodic benefit cost under these plans for the three months
     and nine months ended June 30, 2004, was as follows:

         For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, no contributions
     were made by the Company, although the Company expects that contributions
     for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004 will approximate the net
     periodic benefit cost.

14.  Contingencies

         Legal Proceedings

         On December 2, 2003 the Company announced that the United States
     District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri had issued an order
     granting the Company's motion to dismiss the securities class action
     lawsuits that had been pending against the Company and certain of its
     directors and officers since June 2002. The court's order also directed
     that judgment be entered in favor of the defendants. The consolidated
     complaint filed in the action alleged that the Company and the individual
     defendants had made false or misleading statements about the Company's
     business and future prospects during a putative class period between July
     18, 2000 and June 20, 2002. On December 29, 2003 the lead plaintiffs
     appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit from
     the final judgment entered on December 1, 2003.

         The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in
     the normal course of its business. Based upon the advice of counsel, the
     Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will
     have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
     position, results of operations or cash flows.

         Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation

         The Company has been informed that the Midwest Regional Office of the
     SEC is conducting a private investigation into the events leading up to the
     Company's announcement in June 2002 of revised projected revenue for the
     third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2002. The investigation appears to be
     focused on, but is not explicitly limited to, the Company's forecasting
     beginning with its April 23, 2002 press release. Although the Company
     believes that it will be able to satisfy any concerns the SEC staff may
     have in this regard, the Company is unable to predict the duration, scope,
     or outcome of the investigation. The Company is cooperating fully with the
     SEC staff.

         Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees

         The Company is a party to an agreement entered into prior to December
    31, 2002 that includes an indemnification of one of its customers for any
    withholding tax that might be required under the customer's local tax laws
    from certain payments made to the Company under this agreement. The
    indemnification under this agreement expires in December 2005. As of June
    30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the maximum potential amount of the
    Company's future exposure under this guarantee as determined in accordance
    with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45 "Guarantor's
    Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
    Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" was $4,717.

         The Company generally sells its ClarifyCRM products with a limited
    warranty for a period of 90 days. The Company's policy is to accrue for
    warranty costs, if needed, based on historical trends in product failure.
    Based on the Company's experience, only minimal warranty services have been
    required and, as a result, the Company did not accrue any amounts for
    product warranty liability during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
    2003.

         The Company generally indemnifies its customers against claims of
     intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the
     use of the Company's software. To date, the Company has incurred only
     minimal costs as a result of such obligations and has not accrued any
     liabilities related to such indemnification in its consolidated financial
     statements.

Overview of Business and Trend Information

     Our market focus is primarily the communications industry, and we are a
leading provider of software products and services to major communications
companies in North America, Europe and the rest of the world. The products and
services that we provide are known as integrated customer management systems,
which we refer to as "Integrated Customer Management". Our Integrated Customer
Management product offerings consist primarily of billing and customer
relationship management systems, which we refer to, collectively, as "Customer
Care and Billing Systems", or "CC&B Systems". We refer to customer relationship
management products included within CC&B Systems as "CRM" products. Our
portfolio of products also includes a full range of directory sales and
publishing systems, which we refer to as "Directory Systems", for publishers of
both traditional printed yellow page and white page directories and electronic
Internet directories.

     Our Integrated Customer Management systems are designed to meet the
mission-critical needs of leading communications service providers. We support a
wide range of communications services, including wireline, wireless, voice,
data, broadband, content, electronic and mobile commerce and Internet Protocol
("IP") based services. We also support companies that offer bundled or
convergent service packages. Due to the complexity of our customers' projects
and the expertise required for system support, we also provide extensive
implementation, system integration, system modification, ongoing support, system
enhancement and maintenance services. In addition, we offer Managed Services,
which include a combination of services, such as system modernization and
consolidation, management and operation of data centers, purchase and management
of related hardware assets, billing operations and application support, in all
cases on either or a combination of a fixed or unit charge basis to our
customers.

     Our business is conducted on a global basis. We maintain five development
facilities located in Israel, the United States, Cyprus, Ireland and Canada.
Recently, we established a new development center in India. We expect this
development center to grow and support the overall activity of our business
worldwide, at comparatively lower operating costs.

     As part of our strategy, we may pursue acquisitions and other initiatives
in order to offer new products or services or otherwise enhance our market
position or strategic strengths.

     We derive our revenue principally from:

     -    the initial sales of our products and related  services,  including
          license fees and modification, implementation and integration
          services,

     -    providing  Managed  Services and other related  services for our
          solutions, and

     -    recurring revenue from ongoing support and maintenance provided to our
          customers, and from incremental license fees resulting from increases
          in a customer's business volume.

     Revenue is recognized only when all of the following conditions have been
met: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery has
occurred; (iii) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (iv) collectability of
the fee is reasonably assured. We usually sell our software licenses as part of
an overall solution offered to a customer, that combines the sale of software
licenses with a broad range of services, which normally include significant
customization, modification, implementation and integration. As a result, we
generally recognize combined license and service revenue over the course of
these long-term projects, using the percentage of



                                       77




completion method of accounting. Initial license fee revenue is recognized as
work is performed, using the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Subsequent license fee revenue is recognized upon completion of specified
conditions in each contract, based on a customer's subscriber level or number of
users when greater than the level specified in the contract for the initial
license fee. Service revenue that involves significant ongoing obligations,
including fees for software customization, implementation and modification, also
is recognized as work is performed, under the percentage of completion method of
accounting. Revenue from software solutions that do not require significant
customization and modification is recognized upon delivery. In Managed Services
contracts, we typically recognize revenue from the operation of a customer's
system either ratably over the service period or as services are performed.
Revenue from ongoing support services is recognized as work is performed.
Revenue from third-party hardware and software sales is recognized upon
installation and delivery, respectively. Maintenance revenue is recognized
ratably over the term of the maintenance agreement. As a result of a significant
portion of our revenue being subject to the percentage of completion accounting
method, the size and timing of customer projects and our progress in completing
such projects may significantly affect our annual and quarterly operating
results.

     Our business is subject to the effects of general global economic
conditions and, in particular, market conditions in the communications industry.
As a result of the slowdown in the communications industry during the last two
years, the market value, financial results and prospects, and capital spending
levels of communications companies declined or degraded. The challenging
environment in the communications industry significantly impacted our business.
During the last two years, delays in customer buying decisions stemming from
rigorous management of operating expenses and overall reductions in the capital
investment budgets of many communications service providers led to fewer new
contracts, as well as smaller initial spending commitments and reduced
discretionary spending under contracts with some of our customers. As a result
of the market conditions during fiscal 2002 mentioned above, our revenue in the
fiscal 2002 third quarter decreased by more than $75 million from the previous
quarter. Revenue continued to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and
the first quarter of fiscal 2003. During calendar 2003, the market began to
stabilize. As a result, we resumed sequential revenue growth in the second
quarter of fiscal 2003. During the nine months ended June 30, 2004,
communications service providers demonstrated a greater readiness to commit to
new projects, although the market has not grown at the rate expected. While
difficulties remain in the communications industry, we believe that, with the
overall improvement of market conditions, we should achieve very modest
sequential growth in the coming quarters.

     Our quarterly revenue for the last eleven quarters is summarized below (in
millions):




                           Q1                  Q2                  Q3                  Q4
                    -----------------   -----------------   -----------------   -----------------
                                                                       
 Fiscal 2004            $   428.3            $   442.8           $   450.2                 NA

 Fiscal 2003            $   339.4            $   355.0           $   377.2          $   411.7

 Fiscal 2002            $   422.6            $   455.3           $   380.2          $   355.5


     Due to our heavy dependence on the communications industry and a limited
number of significant customers, we can be adversely affected by consolidations
of service providers and by bankruptcies or other business failures in that
industry. The potential loss of a customer due to consolidation or failures in
the communications industry could harm our business and might have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated operating results and financial condition.

     We believe that we are a leading global provider of CC&B Systems. We
provide a broad set of billing and CRM products, with proven functionality and
scalability, accompanied by a comprehensive range of support services.

     We believe that demand for our CC&B Systems is driven by, among other key
     factors:

     -   the global penetration of communications service providers,

     -   the emergence of new communications products and services, especially
         IP, data and content services,

     -   technological changes, such as the introduction of wireless Internet
         services via GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) and UMTS (Universal
         Mobile Telecommunications System) technology,



                                       78




     -   the ongoing consolidation within the communications industry,

     -   the business needs of communications  service providers to reduce costs
         and retain high value customers, and

     -   a shift from in-house management to vendor solutions.

     We also believe that additional drivers of demand are the continuing trend
for communications service providers to offer their subscribers multiple service
packages, commonly referred to as bundled or convergent services (combinations
of voice, broadband, electronic and mobile commerce and IP services), and the
ability of our CC&B Systems to improve productivity.

     License and service revenue from the sale of CC&B Systems and Directory
Systems includes revenue from Managed Services arrangements. Managed Services
projects are a significant part of our business, and generate substantial,
long-term revenue streams, cash flow and operating income. In the initial period
of our Managed Services projects, we generally invest in modernization and
consolidation of the customer's systems. Invoices are usually structured on a
periodic fixed or unit charge basis. As a result, Managed Services projects can
be less profitable in the initial period. Margins tend to improve over time as
we benefit from the operational efficiencies provided by system modernization
and consolidation. We expect that our Managed Services relationships will
generate margins comparable to sales of our other products and related license
and services over the entire relationships. Revenue related to Managed Services
agreements in the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2004 was
approximately 40% of total revenue for such periods.

     REVENUE. The increase in total revenue in the nine months ended June 30,
2004 is due to an increase in service revenue as a result of the Managed
Services agreements signed during fiscal 2003 and additional revenue resulting
from our acquisition of Certen in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Revenue
related to Managed Services agreements in the nine months ended June 30, 2004
was approximately 40% of total revenue. The net revenue impact of the Managed
Services agreements entered into during fiscal 2003, including the effect of the
Certen acquisition, was approximately $208 million in the nine months ended June
30, 2004.

     Managed Services arrangements accounted for the majority part of the
increase in revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and include only
a small license revenue component, therefore, in the nine months ended June 30,
2004, such arrangements had the effect of decreasing license revenue, as a
percentage of revenue, by 0.9% compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

     License and service revenue from the sale of CC&B Systems was $1,144.7
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $218.1 million,
or 23.5%, over the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately two-thirds of
the increase is attributable to our acquisition of Certen in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2003, and the remainder is attributable to additional revenue from
existing and new customers. License and service revenue from the sale of CC&B
Systems represented 86.6% and 86.5% of our total revenue in the nine months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The demand for our CC&B Systems is
primarily driven by the need for communications companies to continue to
integrate their billing, CRM and order management systems into Integrated
Customer Management products and services. In fiscal 2003, many communications
companies reduced or delayed expenditures on system upgrades as a result of the
slowdown in the communications industry. Recently, however, there has been an
improvement in market conditions contributing to the increase in revenue in the
nine months ended June 30, 2004.



                                       80



      License and service revenue from the sale of Directory Systems was $176.6
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $31.6 million,
or 21.8%, over the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately $59 million of
the increase in Directory Systems revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2004
was attributable to the Managed Services agreements. This revenue was partially
offset by the completion of certain implementation projects that accounted for
$27 million of revenue in the comparable period of fiscal 2003. License and
service revenue from the sale of Directory Systems represented 13.4% and 13.5%
of our total revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. We believe that we are a leading provider of Directory Systems in
most of the markets we serve. We expect that our revenue from Directory Systems
will remain relatively stable in fiscal 2004.

     In the nine months ended June 30, 2004, revenue from customers in North
America, Europe and the rest of the world accounted for 66.8%, 26.4% and 6.8%,
respectively, of total revenue compared to 61.1%, 30.2% and 8.7%, respectively,
for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately 90.0% of the increase in
revenue from customers in North America is attributable to Managed Services
agreements, including the acquisition of Certen, which expanded our activity and
revenue from customers in North America, and approximately 10.0% is attributable
to the expansion of relationships with existing customers in North America. The
decreased contribution to revenue from customers in Europe relative to customers
in North America, as a percentage of revenue, resulted from the relatively
greater growth in activity from customers in North America than in Europe during
the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Revenue from customers in the rest of the
world in absolute amount was relatively stable in the nine months ended June 30,
2004 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

     Cost of License. Cost of license mainly includes amortization of purchased
computer software and intellectual property rights. Because such amortization is
relatively stable from period to period and, absent impairment, is generally
fixed in amount, an increase or decrease in license revenue will cause a
significant fluctuation in cost of license as a percentage of license revenue.
In the nine months ended June 30, 2004, cost of license, as a percentage of
license revenue, was 7.3% compared to 8.1% in the nine months ended June 30,
2003.

     Cost of Service. The increase in cost of service in the nine months ended
June 30, 2004 was 28.9%, which was higher than 23.3%, the increase in our total
revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2004, and resulted in a 2.6% decrease
in our gross margin. Our gross margin was affected by the Managed Services
agreements signed during fiscal 2003, which we expect to be less profitable in
their initial period, and to a lesser extent, by the decrease, as a percentage
of revenue, in our license revenue.

     Research and Development. Research and development expense was primarily
comprised of compensation expense attributed to research and development
activities, which involve the development of new software modules and product
offerings, either in conjunction with customer projects or as part of our
internal product development program. We are currently focusing significant
development efforts on the integration between our products in order to provide
Integrated Customer Management to our customers, while continuing to upgrade our
existing systems. The majority of our research and development expenditures are
directed to our billing and CRM systems, and the remainder to directory,
content, mediation, order management solutions and other activities. The
increase in research and development expense was proportionally less than the
increase in our total revenue. Although we intend to continue to devote
resources to research and development, our research and development budget,
like all of our costs, is sensitive to our overall financial condition. We
believe that our research and development efforts are a key element of our
strategy and are essential to our success. However, an increase or a decrease
in our total revenue would not necessarily result in a proportional increase or
decrease in the levels of our research and development expenditures, which
could affect our operating margin.

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense is primarily comprised of compensation expense. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was
attributable to the overall increase in our operations, as well as to the
increase in our selling and marketing efforts. The increase in selling, general
and administrative expense in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.5%,
which was proportionally less than the 23.3% increase in our total revenue.



                                       81



     Restructuring Charges. The restructuring charge in the nine months ended
June 30, 2003 consisted of the cost reduction program we implemented during the
first quarter of fiscal 2003.

     Operating Income. The increase in operating income in the nine months ended
June 30, 2004 resulted from the 23.3% increase in our total revenue, which was
partially offset by the 2.6% decrease in our gross margin attributable to the
relative low gross margin of our Managed Services projects in their early stages
of implementation, and to the effect of the $10.0 million restructuring charge
in the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

     Interest Income and Other, Net. The decrease in interest income and other,
net, in the nine months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily attributable to the
decline in interest rates on our short-term interest-bearing investments, which
resulted from our decision to shorten the duration of our investments due to
volatility in the interest rate environment, and was also affected by the
decrease of interest income on debentures issued by Certen to us that was
eliminated as a result of the Certen acquisition.

     Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate in the nine months ended June 30, 2004
was 22% compared to 25% in the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Our effective
tax rate for fiscal year 2004 is expected to be approximately 22% due to the
corporate income tax rates in the various countries in which we operate and the
relative magnitude of our business in those countries. The reduction in our
effective tax rate is due to our continued expansion into countries with lower
effective tax rates.

     Net Income. The increase in net income in the nine months ended June 30,
2004 is attributable to the 23.3% increase in our total revenue and to the
effect of the $10.0 million restructuring charge in the nine months ended June
30, 2003. The increase was partially offset by the 2.6% decrease in our gross
margin attributable to the relative low gross margin of our Managed Services
projects in their early stages of implementation.

     Diluted Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share were $0.80 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $0.57 in the nine months ended June
30, 2003.

     REVENUE. The increase in total revenue in the three months ended June 30,
2004 is due primarily to an increase in service revenue as a result of Managed
Services agreements signed during fiscal 2003 and additional revenue resulting
from our acquisition of Certen in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Revenue
related to Managed Services agreements in the three months ended June 30, 2004
was approximately 40% of total revenue. The net revenue impact of the Managed
Services agreements entered into during fiscal 2003, including the effect of the
Certen acquisition, was approximately $58 million in the three months ended June
30, 2004.

     License revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2004 increased compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2003, as a result of new contracts that we
obtained from new and existing customers during fiscal 2004.

     License and service revenue from the sale of CC&B Systems was $388.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $65.9 million,
or 20.4%, over the three months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately two-thirds of
the increase is attributable to our acquisition of Certen in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2003, and the remainder is attributable to additional revenue from
existing and new customers. License and service revenue from the sale of CC&B
Systems represented 86.2% and 85.4% of our total revenue in the three months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The demand for our CC&B Systems is
primarily driven by the need for communications companies to continue to
integrate their billing, CRM and order management systems into Integrated
Customer Management products and services. In fiscal 2003, many communications
companies reduced or delayed expenditures on system upgrades as a result of the
slowdown in the communications industry. Recently, however, there has been an
improvement in market conditions contributing for the increase in revenue in the
third quarter of fiscal 2004.

      License and service revenue from the sale of Directory Systems was $62.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $7.2 million,
or 13.1%, over the three months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately $15 million
of the increase in Directory Systems revenue in the three months ended June 30,


                                       83



2004 was attributable to the Managed Services agreements. This revenue was
partially offset by the completion of certain implementation projects that
accounted for $8 million of revenue in the comparable period of fiscal 2003.
License and service revenue from the sale of Directory Systems represented 13.8%
and 14.6% of our total revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. We believe that we are a leading provider of Directory Systems in
most of the markets we serve. We expect that our revenue from Directory Systems
will remain relatively stable in fiscal 2004.

     In the three months ended June 30, 2004, revenue from customers in North
America, Europe and the rest of the world accounted for 65.9%, 26.1% and 8.0%,
respectively, of total revenue compared to 62.9%, 28.1% and 9.0%, respectively,
for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Approximately 95.0% of the increase in
revenue from customers in North America is attributable to Managed Services
agreements, including the acquisition of Certen, which expanded our activity and
revenue from customers in North America, and approximately 5.0% to the expansion
of relationships with existing customers in North America. The decreased
contribution to revenue from customers in Europe relative to customers in North
America, as a percentage of revenue, resulted from the relatively greater growth
in activity from customers in North America than in Europe during the three
months ended June 30, 2004. Revenue from customers in the rest of the world in
absolute amount was relatively stable in the three months ended June 30, 2004
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003.

     Cost of License. Cost of license mainly includes amortization of purchased
computer software and intellectual property rights. Because such amortization is
relatively stable from period to period and, absent impairment, is generally
fixed in amount, an increase or decrease in license revenue will cause a
significant fluctuation in cost of license as a percentage of license revenue.
In the three months ended June 30, 2004, cost of license, as a percentage of
license revenue, was 8.4%, compared to 12.7% in the three months ended June 30,
2003.

     Cost of Service. The increase in cost of service in the three months ended
June 30, 2004 was 22.9%, which was higher than 19.4%, the increase in our total
revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2004, and resulted in a 1.7% decrease
in our gross margin. Our gross margin was affected by the Managed Services
agreements signed during fiscal 2003, which we expect to be less profitable in
their initial period.

     Research and Development. Research and development expense was primarily
comprised of compensation expense attributed to research and development
activities, which involve the development of new software modules and product
offerings, either in conjunction with customer projects or as part of our
internal product development program. We are currently focusing significant
development efforts on the integration between our products in order to provide
Integrated Customer Management to our customers, while continuing to upgrade our
existing systems. The majority of our research and development expenditures are
directed to our billing and CRM systems, and the remainder to directory,
content, mediation and order management solutions. The increase in research and
development expense was proportionally less than the increase in our total
revenue. Although we intend to continue to devote resources to research and
development, our research and development budget, like all of our costs, is
sensitive to our overall financial condition. We believe that our research and
development efforts are a key element of our strategy and are essential to our
success. However, an increase or a decrease in our total revenue would not
necessarily result in a proportional increase or decrease in the levels of our
research and development expenditures, which could affect our operating margin.

     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expense is primarily comprised of compensation expense. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense in the three months ended June 30, 2004 was
attributable to overall increase in our operations, as well as to the increase
in our selling and marketing efforts. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expense in the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.5%, which
was proportionally less than the 19.4% increase in our total revenue.

     Operating Income. The increase in operating income in the three months
ended June 30, 2004 resulted from the 19.4% increase in our total revenue,
partially offset by the 1.7% decrease in our gross margin attributable to the
relative low gross margin of our Managed Services projects in their early stages
of implementation.



                                       84



     Interest Income and Other, Net. The decrease in interest income and other,
net, in the three months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily attributable to the
decline in interest rates on our short-term interest-bearing investments, which
resulted from our decision to shorten the duration of our investments due to
volatility in the interest rate environment, and was also affected by the
decrease resulted from the interest income on debentures issued by Certen to us
that was eliminated as a result of the Certen acquisition.

     Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate in the three months ended June 30,
2004 was 22% compared to 25% in the three months ended June 30, 2003. Our
effective tax rate for fiscal year 2004 is expected to be approximately 22% due
to the corporate income tax rates in the various countries in which we operate
and the relative magnitude of our business in those countries. The reduction in
our effective tax rate is due to our continued expansion into countries with
lower effective tax rates.

     Net Income. The increase in net income is attributable to the 19.4%
increase in our total revenue, which was partially offset by the 1.7% decrease
in our gross margin attributable to the relative low gross margin of our Managed
Services projects in their early stages of implementation in the three months
ended June 30, 2004.

     Diluted Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share were $0.28 for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $0.21 in the three months ended
June 30, 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash, cash equivalents and short-term interest-bearing investments totaled
$1,228.3 million as of June 30, 2004, compared to $1,290.9 million as of
September 30, 2003. The decrease is attributable to the use of approximately
$395.1 million to repurchase 2% Convertible Notes due June 1, 2008 (the "2%
Notes") as described below, the use of $170.1 million to repurchase ordinary
shares sold short by purchasers of the 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024
(the "0.50% Notes") in negotiated transactions concurrently with the sale of the
0.50% Notes, and the use of an additional $137.4 million to repurchase our
ordinary shares pursuant to our share repurchase program and in connection with
our acquisition of XACCT, which was partially offset by the net proceeds from
the issuance of $450.0 million of 0.50% Notes in March 2004 and positive cash
flows from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
$257.7 million and $284.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, respectively. Although net income before depreciation and amortization
increased in the nine months ended June 30, 2004, cash flows from operations
decreased, due primarily to increases in accounts receivable. We currently
intend to retain our future operating cash flows to support the further
expansion of our business, including investments related to new Managed Services
projects and acquisitions. We also may use a portion of our cash balances for
future repurchases of our outstanding securities.

     Our policy is to retain substantial cash balances in order to support the
growth of the Company. We believe that our current cash balances, cash generated
from operations and our current lines of credit will provide sufficient
resources to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next fiscal year.

     On June 1, 2004, we completed a cash offer for the 2% Notes. Pursuant to
the indenture for the 2% Notes, each holder of the 2% Notes had the right to
require us to repurchase on June 1, 2004 all or any part of such holder's notes
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest. Under the terms of the 2% Notes, we had the option to pay for the 2%
Notes with cash, ordinary shares, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares.
We elected to pay for the 2% Notes solely with cash. We accepted for payment
$395.1 million principal amount of 2% Notes surrendered for repurchase pursuant
to the offer. The untendered $344,000 principal amount of 2% Notes will remain
as our obligations due June 1, 2008, in accordance with their terms. As of June
30, 2004, $0.3 million and $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2%
Notes and 0.50% Notes were outstanding, respectively.

     On July 28, 2004 we announced that our board of directors had extended our
share repurchase program by authorizing the repurchase of up to $100.0 million
of our outstanding ordinary shares. The authorization permits us to purchase our
ordinary shares in open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and



                                       85



prices considered appropriate by us. As of August 10, 2004, we had repurchased
2,218,500 ordinary shares under this repurchase program, for an aggregate
purchase price of 46.8 million.

     As of June 30, 2004, we had available short-term general revolving lines of
credit totaling $31.0 million, pursuant to which $0.9 million of loans was
outstanding. In addition, as of June 30, 2004 we had outstanding letters of
credit and bank guarantees from various banks totaling $13.6 million.

     As of June 30, 2004, we had outstanding long-term obligations of $28.4
million in connection with leasing arrangements.

     We have contractual obligations for our convertible notes, financing
arrangements, capital leases and non-cancelable operating leases that were
summarized in a table of contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form
20-F for the year ended September 30, 2003. There have been no material changes
in contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business since
September 30, 2003, with the exception of the issuance of our 0.50% Notes in
March 2004 and the repurchase of the 2% Notes in June 2004, as discussed above.

     Our capital expenditures were approximately $33.5 million in the nine
months ended June 30, 2004. Approximately 85% of these expenditures consisted of
purchases of computer equipment and, the remainder, leasehold improvements. We
funded our capital expenditures principally from operating cash flows. We do not
anticipate any changes to this policy in the foreseeable future.

 Currency Fluctuations

     We manage our foreign subsidiaries as integral direct components of our
operations. The U.S. dollar is our functional currency. According to the salient
economic factors indicated in SFAS No.52, "Foreign Currency Translation", our
cash flow, sale price, sales market, expense, financing and intercompany
transactions and arrangement indicators are denominated in the U.S. dollar. The
operations of our foreign subsidiaries provide the same type of services with
the same type of expenditure throughout Amdocs' group.

     During the nine months ended June 30, 2004, our revenue and operating
expenses (excluding acquisition-related charges) in U.S. dollars or linked to
the U.S. dollar decreased compared to fiscal 2003, from 80% to 70% and from 60%
to 50%, respectively, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Certen Inc.,
the majority of whose business is in Canadian dollars. As a result of long-term
contracts in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and more customers seeking
contracts that are denominated in currencies such as the Euro, we expect that
the percentage of our revenue and operating expenses in U.S. dollars or linked
to the U.S. dollar will decrease slightly over time. Historically, the effect of
fluctuations in currency exchange rates has had a minimal impact on our
consolidated operations. As more of our customers seek contracts that are
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, our exposure to
fluctuations in currency exchange rates could increase. In managing our foreign
exchange risk, we enter from time to time into various foreign exchange hedging
contracts. We do not hedge all of our exposure in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar, but rather our policy is to hedge significant net exposures in the major
foreign currencies in which we operate. We periodically assess the applicability
of the U.S. dollar as our functional currency by reviewing the salient
indicators.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 8. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Guernsey law permits a company's articles of association to provide for
the indemnification of officers and directors except to the extent that such a
provision may be held by the courts of Guernsey to be contrary to public policy
(for instance, for purporting to provide indemnification against the
consequences of committing a crime) and except to the extent that Guernsey law
prohibits the indemnification of any director against any specific provisions of
Guernsey Company law under which personal liability may be imposed or incurred.

         Under our Articles of Association, we are obligated to indemnify any
person who is made or threatened to be made a party to a legal or administrative
proceeding by virtue of being a director, officer or agent of Amdocs, provided
that we have no such obligation to indemnify any such persons for any claims
they incur or sustain by or through their own willful act or default.

         We have entered into an indemnity agreement with our directors and some
of our officers, under which we have agreed to pay the indemnified party the
amount of Loss (as defined therein) suffered by that party due to claims made
against that party for a Wrongful Act (as defined therein).

ITEM 10. UNDERTAKINGS.

         Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K. The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:

         (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
               made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                  Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
                  (the "Securities Act");

                           (ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                  events arising after the effective date of this Registration
                  Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                  thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                  fundamental change in the information set forth in this
                  Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
                  increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if
                  the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
                  that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
                  high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
                  reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
                  pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
                  volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
                  the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                  "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
                  Registration Statement; and

                           (iii)    To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
                  information in this Registration Statement;


provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.


         (2)   That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
               Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
               be a new registration statement relating to the securities
               offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time
               shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
               amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
               unsold at the termination of the offering.

         Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K. The Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as

                                       87


expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                       88


                                   SIGNATURES


         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of New York, State of New
York, on this 21st day of September, 2004.
