NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished
herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal
recurring accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

a. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the computations of
earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the exercise
of stock options. The computations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 are based solely on the weighted average number
of outstanding common shares. None of the periods presented assumes
conversion of the 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2000
and 2006, or the Series A Preferred Stock since such conversions
would have been antidilutive. The shares used in the computations
are as follows (in thousands):

Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company reported net income
of $41.9 million, compared to net income of $5.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. On a per-share basis, the second quarter net
income was $.08 per primary and fully diluted common share after preferred
dividends, compared to a loss of $.14 per primary and fully diluted common
share a year ago.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1.56 billion, up 5%
from $1.51 billion for the year-ago period despite the negative impact of
foreign currencies in the current quarter. Total gross profit percent was
34.0% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 32.7% in the year-ago period.

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $341.8 million compared to $346.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, and research and development expenses were $67.4 million
compared to $81.4 million a year earlier. The decline in research and
development was largely due to the Company's cost reduction actions and an
increase in capitalization of software development costs compared to the
prior-year period.

For the second quarter of 1997, the Company reported an operating income
percent (operating income as a percent of revenue) of 8.1% compared to 4.2%
for the second quarter of 1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).

Note: Certain prior year business unit amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.

Customer revenue from the Information Services Group ("ISG") decreased 5% in
the quarter reflecting the continued focus and refinement of the group's
business model. ISG gross profit percent was 21.3% in 1997 compared to 17.9%
last year due to the benefits of restructuring and an improved bid quality and
control process.

Global Customer Services ("GCS") customer revenue increased 11% from year-ago
levels led by growth in distributed computing support services which more than
offset a decline in core maintenance revenue. The gross profit percent in GCS
was 28.9% in 1997 compared to 31.9% last year due in large part to the impact,
in the current period, of a large lower-margin federal contract for distributed
computing support services.

Customer revenue in the Computer Systems Group ("CSG") increased 10%
principally due to increases in sales of large-scale enterprise servers and
software. CSG gross profit percent rose to 43.3% in 1997 from 38.4% last year,
due in large part to a higher proportion of sales of large-scale enterprise
servers.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 1997 was $59.5 million compared to
$68.3 million in the second quarter of 1996, principally due to lower average
debt levels.

Other income (loss), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was a loss
of $3.2 million in the current quarter compared to income of $12.4 million in
the year-ago period. The change was mainly due to lower equity and interest
income.

Income before income taxes was $66.5 million in 1997 compared to $8.0 million
last year. The provision for income taxes was $24.6 million in the current
period compared to $2.7 million in the year-ago period.

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This statement
requires that if a transfer of financial assets does not meet certain criteria
for recording the transaction as a sale, the transfer must be accounted for as
a secured borrowing. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement
of income, or liquidity.
Page 8

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).

In February of 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," was issued. This
statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share. Adoption of SFAS No. 128 and restatement of prior periods' earnings
per share is required in the fourth quarter of 1997. For the Company,
earnings per share under SFAS No. 128 for the current quarter would be the
same as reported. The effect of adoption of SFAS No. 128 on earlier periods
is immaterial.

Financial Condition

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at June 30, 1997 were $477.6
million compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1996. Cash was used during
the first six months of 1997 for operating, investing and financing activities
as described below.

Cash used for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $176.3 million compared to $447.3 million used during the prior-year
period. The decline in cash usage from operations in the current period
compared to the year-ago period was due to current period income, and improved
working capital management, including improvements in inventory turns and
accounts receivable days outstanding.

Cash used for investing activities during the first half of 1997 was $140.4
million compared to $97.0 million used in the year-ago period. The increase
in cash usage was principally due to increased capital expenditures as a number
of large-scale Clearpath enterprise servers were added to the Company's rental
machine base.

Cash used for financing activities during the first half of 1997 was $214.0
million compared to cash provided of $617.8 million in 1996. In the current
period, the Company redeemed all $150.0 million of its Series B and C
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The year-ago period includes proceeds
of $700.9 million for issuances of debt. Dividends paid on preferred stock
were $59.8 million in the first half of 1997 compared to $60.4 million in the
first half of 1996.

At June 30, 1997, total debt was $2.3 billion, a slight decrease from December
31, 1996. In June 1997, the Company entered into a two-year $200 million
revolving credit facility replacing the prior one-year facility. The facility
includes certain financial tests that must be met as conditions to a borrowing
and provides that no loans may be outstanding for twenty consecutive days in
each quarter. The facility may not be used to refinance other debt. The
amount the Company may borrow at any given time is dependent upon the amount
of certain of its accounts receivable and inventory. As of June 30, 1997,
there were no borrowings outstanding under the facility and the entire $200
million was available for borrowings.
Page 9

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).

The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering $500 million of debt or equity
securities which enables the Company to be prepared for future market
opportunities. In addition, the Company may, from time to time, redeem or
repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions depending upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax liabilities of $1,425 million. For the reasons cited below, management
determined that it is more likely than not that $1,009 million of such assets
will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $416 million.

The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax
assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of
such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of
realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income, which is
adjusted by applying probability factors, and available tax planning strategies
that could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets. The combination of
these factors is expected to be sufficient to realize the entire amount of net
deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.9 billion of future taxable income
(predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred tax assets.

The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted
taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax
assets. See "Factors That May Affect Future Results" below.

Stockholders' equity decreased $65.6 million during the six months ended June
30, 1997 principally reflecting translation adjustments of $71.5 million and
preferred dividends declared of $59.8 million, offset in part by net income of
$61.2 million.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

From time to time, the Company provides information containing "forward-
looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from expectations. These include, but are not
limited to, the following: the impact of continued competitive pressures and
volatility in the information technology and services industry on revenues,
pricing and margins; rapid changes in technology, technology standards and
product life cycles; the Company's ability to design, develop, introduce,
deliver or obtain new products and services on a timely and cost-effective
basis; the Company's ability to effectively manage the business mix shift away

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).

from traditional high-margin product and services offerings; the Company's
ability to profitably bid and perform services contracts, particularly large,
fixed-price, multi-year systems integration contracts; the Company's reliance
on third-party alliances, subcontractors, suppliers and distribution channels;
the risks of doing business internationally, including foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic conditions, trade
protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; the Company's
cost of and success in attracting and retaining highly skilled people; and
natural disasters or changes in general economic and business conditions.
