            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               JUNE 30, 1994

NOTE A --  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months
ended June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending March 31, 1995.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in Computer Associates International, Inc.'s (the "Registrant" or the
"Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1994.

Dividends:  In May 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared its
semi-annual cash dividend of $.10, an increase of 43% from the prior dividend
of $.07 per share.  The dividend was paid on July 5, 1994 to stockholders of
record at June 20, 1994.

Net Income per Share:  Net income per share of Common Stock is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and any
dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  Common share equivalents for
the quarter ended June 30, 1994 were excluded because of their anti-dilutive
effect.  Fully diluted net income per share is the same or not materially
different from net income per share.

Statements of Cash Flows:  For the three months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
interest paid was $2.2 and $3.4 million, respectively, and income taxes paid
were $62 and $48 million, respectively.

                              JUNE 30, 1994

NOTE B --  ACQUISITIONS         

On June 22, 1994, the Company acquired 98% of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock of The Ask Group, Inc. ("ASK").  The aggregate cost of acquiring
the Common Stock of ASK was approximately $308 million.  The purchase price
was provided from existing cash balances and from a revolving credit
agreement with a group of banks.  ASK was primarily in the business of
developing, marketing and selling computer-based relational database
management systems, data access and connectivity products, manufacturing and
financial software application tools and provided related consulting and
support services.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.  The
results of ASK's operations have been combined with those of the Company
since the date of acquisition.

In conjunction with the purchase of ASK, the Company recorded an after-tax
charge against earnings of $154 million relating to the write-off of
purchased research and development technology that had not reached the
working model stage and has no alternative future use.  Had this one-time
charge not been taken during the quarter ended June 30, 1994, net income
would have been $69 million, or $.41 per share.

The following pro forma combined results of operations (unaudited) of the
Company and ASK on the basis that the acquisition had taken place and the
related one-time charge, noted above, was recorded at the beginning of each

In management's opinion, the pro forma combined results of operations are not
indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition
been consummated at the beginning of fiscal year 1994 or of future operations
of the combined companies under the ownership and operation of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

Total revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 1994 increased by 13%, or $53
million, over the prior year's comparable quarter.  The increase was
attributable to product revenue growth primarily in the midrange platform,
particularly for the CA-Unicenter for UNIX products on several operating
systems.  The revenue contribution from ASK, acquired at the end of the
June 1994 quarter was immaterial.  Maintenance revenues decreased by $2
million, primarily due to normal attrition, the continued trend of client
site consolidation and increasing Value Added Reseller ("VAR") midrange sales
whereby ongoing maintenance and support service is performed by the VAR. 
Price changes did not have a material impact during either quarter. 
  
Costs and Expenses:

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percent of total revenue
in the June 1994 quarter decreased to 53% from 59% in the June 1993 quarter. 
This reduction between the two comparable quarters reflects the higher
revenue achievement without a proportionate increase in total fixed and
variable operating and administrative costs.  Development expenditures
capitalized during the fiscal 1994 quarter totaled $3 million, while $5
million of previously capitalized software development expenditures was
amortized in the quarter.  Commissions and royalties as a percentage of
revenue decreased slightly in the June 1994 quarter over the prior year's
comparable period.  This was attributable primarily to the continued staffing
shift from direct marketing specialists to client service representatives. 
The latter's compensation is more heavily weighted to a fixed salary than
that of the marketing specialists.  Depreciation and amortization expense in
the June 1994 quarter decreased by $8 million over the June 1993 quarter due
to the expiration of the five year amortization period related to the
Company's ADR acquisition and the reassessment and write-off of the current
carrying value of certain purchased software products, all of which occurred
in the latter part of the prior fiscal year.  During the June 1994 quarter,
the impact of amortization of purchased software and excess cost over net
assets acquired associated with the acquisition of ASK was immaterial since
the acquisition occurred at the end of the quarter.  However, the
incremental charge during the remainder of fiscal year 1995 will approximate
$29  million per quarter.  In the quarter ended June 1994, net interest
expense changed by $2 million as a result of decreases in long-term debt,
increases in marketable securities investments and slightly higher interest
rates.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Operating Margins:

The net loss for the quarter ended June 1994 was $86 million, or $.53 per
share, compared to net income for the previous year quarter of $31 million,
or $.18 a share.  This change from positive net income to a net loss was due
entirely to the $154 million non-recurring after-tax charge for the write-off
of purchased research and development associated with CA's recently
completed acquisition of The ASK Group, Inc.  Pre-tax income excluding the
one-time charge was $111 million, an increase of 131% over the comparable
prior year period.  The consolidated effective tax rate increased to 38% from
36% in the June 1993 quarter, primarily as a result of reduced foreign tax
credits.

Operations:

The Company has traditionally reported lower profit margins for the first two
quarters of each fiscal year than those experienced in the third and fourth
quarters.  As part of the annual budget process, management establishes
higher discretionary expense levels in relation to revenue for the first half
of the year.  Historically, the Company's combined third and fourth quarter
revenues have been greater than the first half of the year, as these two
quarters coincide with the clients' calendar year budget periods and the
culmination of the Company's annual sales plan.  These historically higher
second half revenues have resulted in significantly higher profit margins
since total expenses have not increased in proportion to revenue. 
However, past financial performance may not be indicative of future
performance, particularly in view of the uncertainties associated with the
ASK acquisition.

The Company's near term operating results may be affected by a number of
other factors, including, but not limited to: uncertainties relative to
global economic conditions; industry factors; the availability and cost of
new products; the Company's ability to successfully increase its market share
in its core business while expanding its product base into other markets; the
strength of its distribution channels; the Company's ability to effectively
manage expense growth relative to revenue growth; and the Company's ability
to effectively integrate acquired products and operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities
decreased by $7 million to $361 million during the quarter ended June 1994. 
This decrease was primarily attributable to expenditures of $294 million
related to: the acquisition of 98% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock
of ASK; $29 million for property and equipment; $64 million for the purchase
of Treasury Stock; and $43 million related to the repayment of long-term
debt primarily assumed with the ASK acquisition partially offset by $91
million of cash generated from operations and borrowings of $330 million
under the Company's renegotiated revolving credit agreement.  During the
quarter, the Company restructured its credit agreement with a group of banks
to increase its borrowing capacity to $500 million.  Borrowings under this
agreement are subject to interest, primarily at the prevailing London
Interbank Rate plus 25 basis points and is payable at maturity or in
quarterly installments whichever is sooner.  At June 30, 1994, $380 million
was outstanding under this agreement.  It is expected that existing cash,
cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, the availability of
short-term borrowings under committed and uncommitted credit lines as well
as cash provided from operations will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash
requirements.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company added 2.1 million shares
of Common Stock to its treasury stock under its open market repurchase
program.  The Company's Board of Directors has authorized it to repurchase
an additional 11.5 million shares.

The Company's capital resource requirements as of the end of June 1994
consisted of lease obligations for office space, computer equipment, mortgage
or loan obligations and amounts due as a result of product and company
acquisitions.   The Company intends to meet these commitments and other
foreseeable needs from its available cash as outlined above.
