    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
    No. 128, the computation of diluted EPS did not include stock options
    which were antidilutive, as their exercise price was greater than the
    average market price of the common stock of Computer Sciences Corporation
    ("CSC" or the "Company") during the quarter.  The number of such options
    was 2,413,481 and 219,738 at December 29, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
    respectively.

    Accumulated other comprehensive loss presented on the accompanying
    consolidated condensed balance sheets consists of accumulated foreign
    currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments,
    and net unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

(F) The Company's business involves operations which provide management and
    information technology consulting, systems integration and outsourcing.
    Based on the criteria of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
    Enterprise and Related Information," CSC has two reportable segments: the
    U.S. Federal Sector and the Global Commercial Sector.  The U.S. Federal
    Sector operates principally within a regulatory environment subject to
    governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal
    Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various
    U.S. Federal agencies.  The U.S. Federal Sector revenue reported below
    will vary from U.S. Federal government revenue presented elsewhere in this
    report due to overlapping activities between segments and reflects a
    realignment of intersegment activities to attribute operating results to
    the performing segment.  Information on reportable segments is as follows
    (in millions):

(G) In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
    SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
    Activities."  This statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on
    the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting standards for
    hedging activities.  This statement was subsequently amended by SFAS 137
    (June 1999) and SFAS 138 (June 2000).  As amended, this statement is
    effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The Company is
    currently assessing the impact this statement will have and, based on
    preliminary estimates, does not expect the adoption to have a material
    impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(H) The Company has reviewed Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
    Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
    Statements."  As the Company's revenue recognition practices were
    consistent with SAB No. 101, it had no impact on the Company's
    consolidated financial statements.

(I) During December 2000, CSC completed the acquisition of all of the
    outstanding equity securities of Mynd Corporation ("Mynd"), formally known
    as Policy Management Systems Corporation, for a purchase price of $573
    million.  In addition, CSC assumed $243 million of outstanding Mynd debt.
    Mynd is a provider of systems, services, sourcing and e-business solutions
    to the global insurance and related financial services industries.  The
    purchase price allocation has not been finalized pending completion of
    appropriate tangible and intangible asset appraisals.  Therefore, the
    December 29, 2000 consolidated condensed balance sheet reflects Mynd's
    long-term assets as a component of "Other assets;" Mynd's current assets
    and current liabilities are reflected in their appropriate balance sheet
    accounts.
                                      9



(J) The results for the third quarter ended December 29, 2000 include special
    items of $84.2 million ($57.3 million after tax).  In connection with the
    Mynd acquisition, the Company reviewed its global financial services
    operations, product strategies and the carrying value of its applicable
    assets.  The global financial services charge is comprised of $58.2
    million related to non-cash adjustments to the carrying value of
    capitalized software and the write-off of other assets and intangibles;
    and $16.6 million related to employee severance costs of 800 financial
    services employees.  As of December 29, 2000, approximately $5.9 million
    of severance costs had been paid.  Upon completion of the integration of
    Mynd into the Company's global financial services operations, the Company
    may be required to record additional special items in the fourth quarter
    of fiscal 2001.  The special charge also includes $9.4 million related to
    a legal settlement and the write-off of assets from operations previously
    sold or phased-out.

    The special items of $41.1 million ($29.8 million after tax) recorded
    during the third quarter ended December 31, 1999 resulted from merger-
    related charges and other transaction costs of $39.1 million ($28.5
    million after tax) associated with the November 16, 1999 acquisition of
    Nichols Research Corporation (Nichols), and other costs, net of
    recoveries, of $2 million ($1.3 million after tax) associated with the
    Company's fiscal 1998 response to a failed take-over attempt.  The Nichols
    charge is comprised of $9.3 million for investment banking and other
    transaction expenses; $23.5 million related to the write-off of
    capitalized software and the write-off of other assets and intangibles;
    and $6.3 million related to employee severance and elimination of
    duplicate facilities.

(K) The financial information reported, which is not necessarily indicative of
    the results for a full year, is unaudited but includes all adjustments
    which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation.  All such
    adjustments are normal recurring adjustments.  Certain reclassifications
    have been made to the prior year's financial statements and notes in order
    to conform to the current presentation.

             PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
           Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2001 versus
              Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2000


Revenues

During the third quarter ended December 29, 2000, the Company's total revenues
increased 12.9%, or $304.6 million, over the same period last year.

Global commercial sector revenue grew 12.1%, or $219.2 million over the same
quarter of last year.  Global commercial revenue growth was negatively
impacted by approximately 8 percentage points as a result of currency
fluctuations, primarily in Europe and Australia.

U.S. Commercial revenue grew 11.9%, or $107.7 million to $1,010.8 million
during the third quarter of fiscal 2001 over the same period last year.  The
growth was principally driven by major recent information technology
outsourcing ("IT") contracts announced during the past year, including Nortel
Networks, AT&T, United Technologies Corporation and Equiva.

European revenue of $703.4 million for the third quarter was up 7.5% from the
$654.3 million reported in the corresponding period last year.  The revenue
growth was predominantly driven by outsourcing activities.  Revenue growth was
negatively impacted by about 17 percentage points as a result of the impact of
European currency fluctuations.

Other international revenue for the third quarter grew 24.8% to $313.7
million.  The increase was principally the result of a recent outsourcing
award in Australia from the Broken Hill Proprietary Company and the
acquisition of its IT services business unit.  Currency fluctuations,
principally in Australia, negatively impacted other international revenue
growth by about 14 percentage points.

U.S. Federal sector revenue increased 15.9% to $636.5 million during the third
quarter.  Revenue gains were generated by increases from both civil agencies
and Department of Defense activities.  The federal growth for the quarter was
principally associated with several recent awards including the Army's
Logistics Modernization contract, the IRS modernization program and GSA
activities.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company's total revenue
increased 12.2%, or 17% in constant currency and the Company announced new
Global Commercial and Federal business awards of $9.4 billion.  The Company's
continued growth has created a broad, long-term global revenue base across
numerous customers, industries, geographic regions and service offerings.

Comparing the third quarter of fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000, total costs and
expenses increased as a percentage of revenue.  Increases in costs of services
and interest expense were partially offset by lower selling, general and
administrative expenses.

The increase in costs of services as a percentage of revenue was primarily the
result of higher labor costs experienced within our U.S. and Australian
consulting operations due principally to severance costs of approximately $6
million incurred during the quarter.  The increase in net interest expense was
due to a combination of an increase in the level of borrowings outstanding and
higher interest rates on borrowings.  Lower selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were principally related to
continued focus on aggressive cost containment across the Company.

Comparing the first nine months of fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000, total cost and
expenses improved as a percentage of revenue primarily related to lower
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue due to
integration synergies achieved as a result of the Nichols Research Corporation
acquisition and the focus on aggressive cost containment.

Special items

The results for the third quarter ended December 29, 2000 include special
items of $84.2 million ($57.3 million after tax).  In connection with the Mynd
acquisition, the Company reviewed its global financial services operations,
product strategies and the carrying value of its applicable assets.  The
global financial services charge is comprised of $58.2 million related to non-
cash adjustments to the carrying value of capitalized software and the write-
off of other assets and intangibles; and $16.6 million related to employee
severance costs.  Upon completion of the integration of Mynd into the
Company's global financial services operations, the Company may be required to
record additional special items in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.  The

                                       12



special charge also includes $9.4 million related to a legal settlement and
the write-off of assets from operations previously sold or phased-out.

The special items of $41.1 million ($29.8 million after tax) recorded during
the third quarter ended December 31, 1999 resulted from merger-related charges
and other transaction costs of $39.1 million ($28.5 million after tax)
associated with the November 16, 1999 acquisition of Nichols Research
Corporation (Nichols), and other costs, net of recoveries, of $2 million ($1.3
million after tax) associated with the Company's fiscal 1998 response to a
failed take-over attempt.  The Nichols charge is comprised of $9.3 million for
investment banking and other transaction expenses; $23.5 million related to
the write-off of capitalized software and the write-off of other assets and
intangibles; and $6.3 million related to employee severance and elimination of
duplicate facilities.

Income Before Taxes

Due to the Company's revenue growth, income before special items and taxes
increased $14.4 million to $183.3 million, up 8.5% over the same quarter last
year.  The resulting margin before special items was 6.9% compared to 7.2% for
last year's third quarter and was 6.4% for both the nine months of fiscal 2001
and fiscal 2000, respectively.

Net Income

Earnings before special items were $122.9 million for the third quarter of
fiscal 2001, up $10.7 million, or 9.6%, over last year's third quarter.  This
year's third quarter diluted earnings per share before special items of 72
cents increased 9.1% over last year's third quarter diluted earnings per share
before special items of 66 cents.  On a year to date basis, diluted earnings
per share before special items was $1.92, up 21 cents, or 12.3%, over the
comparable period for the prior year.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $350.4 million for the nine months
ended December 29, 2000, compared with $493.2 million during the same period
last year.  The decrease of $142.8 million primarily resulted from changes in
working capital partially offset by an increase in earnings and non-cash
depreciation and amortization expenses.

The Company's cash expenditures for investing activities totaled $1,614.2
million for the most recent nine months versus $805.7 million during the same
period of last year.  The increase principally relates to the Mynd acquisition
and other acquisition activity, primarily in Europe and Australia, and
purchases of outsourcing assets and property and equipment across the Company.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1,175.9 million for the most recent
nine months versus cash used for financing activities of $50.3 million for the
same period a year ago.  The change is principally the result of an increase
in borrowings associated with the Mynd acquisition and the ramp up of recent
outsourcing awards and acquisition activity in fiscal 2001. Fiscal 2000
activity reflects the repayment of the Company's $150 million 6.80% notes due
April 1999.

Financial Condition

During the first nine months of fiscal 2001, the Company's capital outlays
included $1,528 million of business investments in the form of fixed asset
purchases, acquisitions and outsourcing awards.  These investments were funded
from additional borrowings and existing cash balances, which decreased from
$260.4 million to $171.3 million.  The Company's debt-to-total capitalization
ratio increased from 22.9% at fiscal 2000 year end (March 31, 2000) to 40.9%
at December 29, 2000 principally due to the previously mentioned additional
borrowings.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company filed a shelf
registration statement for up to $1 billion of debt and/or equity securities.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company sold $500 million of 7.50%
notes due August 2005 and used the proceeds for general corporate purposes,
including the reduction of outstanding commercial paper instruments.

The Company has an option to require a subsidiary of Equifax Inc. to purchase
the Company's credit reporting business as further described in Note 11 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for fiscal 2000.  The
exercise price of this put option is equal to the appraised value of the
business.

It is management's opinion that the Company will be able to meet its liquidity
and cash needs for the foreseeable future through a combination of cash flows
from operating activities, cash balances, unused borrowing capacity and other
financing activities, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities,
and/or the exercise of the put option described above.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This
statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities.  This
statement was subsequently amended by SFAS 137 (June 1999) and SFAS 138 (June
2000).  As amended, this statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000.  The Company is currently assessing the impact this
statement will have and, based on preliminary estimates, does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements contained in this quarterly report, or in any document filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in any press

Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements represent the Company's
