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 six months ended September 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.

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.  Fully diluted net income per
share is the same or not materially different from net income per share.

Statements of Cash Flows:  For the six months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, interest paid was $9 and $8 million, respectively, and income taxes paid
were $111 and $54 million, respectively.

NOTE B --  ACQUISITIONS         

On June 22, 1994, the Company acquiried 98% of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock of The ASK Group, Inc. ("ASK"), and on September 20, 1994, merged
ASK into one of its wholly owned subsidiaries.  The aggregate cost of acquiring
the Common Stock of ASK was approximately $314 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 for the six month
period ended September 30, 1994 would have been $199 million, or $1.19 per
share.

The following table reflects pro forma combined results of operations
(unaudited) of the Company and ASK on the basis that the acquisitions had
taken place and the related one-time charge, noted above, was recorded at the
beginning of the fiscal year for each of the periods presented:

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.


                                         





Item 2:

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

Total revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 increased by 21%, or $106
million, over the prior year's comparable quarter.  The increase was
attributable to product revenue growth primarily in the midrange platform.  The
midrange environment experienced year over year growth of 177% due to continued
strong acceptance of CA-Unicenter now available on several platforms and the
integration of the ASK/Ingres products.  Maintenance revenues increased by $6
million, primarily due to the acquisition of ASK.  Price changes did not have a
material impact during either quarter.    

Costs and Expenses:

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
decreased to 41% in the September 1994 quarter from 46% in the September 1993
quarter.  This percentage reduction between the two comparable quarters
reflects the higher revenue achievement without a proportionate increase in
total fixed, variable and administrative costs.  Development expenditures
capitalized during the fiscal 1995 quarter totaled $5 million, and $5 million
of previously capitalized software development expenditures was amortized in
the quarter. Commissions and royalties as a percentage of revenue increased
slightly in the September 1994 quarter over the prior year's comparable period,
due primarily to the aforementioned revenue increase.  Depreciation and
amortization expense in the September 1994 quarter increased by $1 million
over the September 1993 quarter.  However, during the September 1994 quarter,
the increased amortization of purchased software and excess cost over net
assets acquired associated with the ASK acquisition was approximately $27
million. This incremental quarterly charge will continue throughout the
remainder of fiscal year 1995.  During the September 1993 quarter, there were
$17 million of charges for the reasessment of the current carrying value
of several purchased software products, as well as $7 million associated with
the ADR acquisition neither of which are included in the current quarter.  In
the quarter ended September 1994, net interest expense increased by $2 million
primarily as a result of increases in loans payable to banks and higher average
interest rates. 



Item 2:  (Continued)

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


Operating Margins:

Pre-tax income for the quarter ended September 1994 exceeded the prior year's
comparable quarter by $73 million, or 54%, due to the higher revenue
achievement and marginal increases in costs and expenses.  Similarly, pre-tax
income as a percentage of total revenue increased to 34% from 26% in the
comparable prior year period as a result of limited expense growth and higher
revenue achievement.  The reduced availability of foreign tax credits was
primarily responsible for the increase in the consolidated effective tax rate
of 38% from 36% in the September 1993 quarter.

Operations:

The Company has traditionally reported lower profit margins in 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 projected 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 assimilation and
integration of 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; market acceptance of competing technologies; the
availability and cost of new solutions; the Company's ability to successfully
maintain or increase 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 fixed and variable expense growth
relative to revenue growth; and the Company's ability to effectively integrate
acquired products and operations.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities
decreased by $84 million to $277 million during the quarter ended September
1994.  This decrease was primarily attributable to expenditures in excess of
$60 million for various shutdown costs related to the ASK acquisition.  At
September 30, 1994, $392 million was outstanding under the Company's revolving
credit agreement with net borrowings of $12 million during the quarter ended
September 30, 1994.  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 operating requirements. 
During the quarter ended September 30, 1994, the Company added one million
shares of Common Stock costing $44 million to its treasury under its previously
announced open market repurchase program.  The Company has authorization to
repurchase an additional ten million shares under its current program. 

The Company's capital resource requirements as of the end of September 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.
