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. The following table shows how earnings per share were computed for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 (dollars in millions,

employee stock plans were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the option prices are above the average market
price of the company's common stock.

b. Effective January 1, 2001, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.
SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those
instruments at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted
to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either
offset against the change in fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of
a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in
earnings. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle due to
the adoption of SFAS NO. 133 resulted in the recognition of income of $3.3
million (net of $1.8 million of tax) in other comprehensive income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
- --------
The company continues to manage its business profitability in a very
challenging economic environment. As customers delayed planned IT projects
and reduced expenses, the company saw weak demand and pricing pressures in key
areas of its business, particularly for high-end enterprise servers and systems
integration projects, which impacted revenue and margins in the quarter.
The following discussion of results of operations compares the results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 with both the as reported and pro
forma results for the comparable periods of 2000. The pro forma results
exclude low-margin commodity hardware business that the company has de-
emphasized as a result of its focus on higher value-added business areas. For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, financial highlights on an as
reported and on a pro forma basis are as follows (in millions of dollars,
except per share data):

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, the company reported net income of
$12.1 million, or $.04 per diluted share, compared to $36.5 million, or $.12
per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Both periods
include an extraordinary item for the early extinguishment of debt. The
extraordinary charge was $17.2 million or $.05 per diluted share in the June
2001 quarter and $19.8 million or $.06 per diluted share in the June 2000
quarter. Excluding these items, income in the current period was $29.3
million, or $.09 per diluted share compared to $56.3 million, or $.18 per
share in the year-ago period.
Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $1.46 billion, down 8%
from revenue of $1.60 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The
decrease in revenue was principally due to lower sales of commodity products
(discussed above) and enterprise servers. Excluding the negative impact of
foreign currency translations, revenue in the quarter was down 3% when
compared to the year-ago period. When compared to pro forma revenue of $1.42
billion for the second quarter of 2000, revenue for the current quarter
increased 3% (8% on a constant currency basis).
Total gross profit was 27.2% in the second quarter of 2001 compared to 30.1%
in the year-ago period, principally due to a lower mix of higher-margin
products and services than in the year-ago quarter as well as pricing pressures.
9
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $276.4 million (18.9% of revenue) compared to $322.5 million
(20.2% of revenue) for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Research and
development expense was $75.2 million compared to $78.2 million a year earlier.
The decrease in these expenses reflected tight controls placed on discretionary
spending during the quarter as well as the benefits of the restructuring
actions announced in the fourth quarter of 2000.
For the second quarter of 2001, the company reported an operating income
percent of 3.1% compared to 5.0% (5.8% on a pro forma basis) for the second
quarter of 2000.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $1.08 billion, down 4% from $1.13
billion in the year-ago period, principally due to a decline in proprietary
maintenance and lower sales of commodity products. The gross profit percent
declined to 19.2% in the current quarter compared to 20.5% in the prior period,
principally reflecting the startup of large outsourcing contracts, and a lower
mix of higher-margin proprietary maintenance revenue in the quarter. Operating
income percent increased to 0.9% in the current quarter from break even last
year, principally due to a decline in selling, general and administrative
expenses. Customer revenue in the Services segment increased 7% in the current
quarter from pro forma revenue in the year-ago quarter.
10
In the Technology segment, customer revenue declined 20% to $377 million in the
second quarter of 2001 from $468 million in the prior-year period, principally
due to declines in ClearPath enterprise server revenue and lower commodity
hardware sales. The gross profit percent was 43.5% in the current quarter
compared to 44.1% in the prior period, reflecting the lower mix of higher-
margin ClearPath server sales in the quarter. Operating profit in this segment
declined to 10.5% in the current quarter from 13.4% in 2000, principally due to
the gross profit decline. Customer revenue in the Technology segment declined
8% in the current period from pro forma revenue in the year-ago period.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $17.6 million
compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. The
decline was principally due to lower average borrowings.
Other income (expense), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was income
of $15.7 million in the current quarter compared to $23.9 million in the year-
ago quarter. The decrease was principally due to lower equity income in the
current period compared to the prior-year.
Income before income taxes was $43.9 million in the second quarter of 2001
compared to $85.3 million last year. The provision for income taxes was $14.6
million in the current period (33% effective rate)compared to $29.0 million in
the year-ago period (34% effective rate). The decline in the effective tax
rate was principally due to tax planning strategies.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net income was $81.4 million, or $.26
per diluted share, compared to net income of $143.0 million, or $.45 per
diluted share, last year. Both periods include an extraordinary item for the
early extinguishment of debt, $17.2 million, or $.05 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, and $19.8 million, or $.06 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. Excluding these items, income in the current
period was $98.6 million, or $.31 per share compared to $162.8 million, or $.51
per share in the year-ago period.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 140,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities." This statement revises the accounting standards for
securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and
requires certain disclosures. This statement is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets occurring after March 31, 2001. Adoption of SFAS
No. 140 had no effect on the company's consolidated financial position,
consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2001 were $244.7 million compared to
$378.0 million at December 31, 2000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash provided by operations was
$10.0 million compared to a cash usage of $109.9 million for the six months
ended June, 2000, principally reflecting an improvement in working capital
management, mainly a higher level of advance payments under long-term contracts.
Cash expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2001 related to prior-year
restructuring charges (which are included in operating activities) were $30
million compared to $14 million for the prior-year period, and are expected to
be approximately $29 million for the remainder of 2001 and $22 million in total
for all subsequent years, principally for work-force reductions and facility
costs. Personnel reductions in the six months ended June 30, 2001 related to
these restructuring actions were approximately 440 and are expected to be
approximately 486 for the remainder of the year.
Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
$140.5 million compared to $103.6 million during the six months ended June 30,
2000 principally due to lower net proceeds from investments.
Cash used for financing activities during the first half of 2001 was $4.4
million compared to cash used of $56.6 million in the prior year. The current
period includes net proceeds from long-term debt of $341.2 million and payments
of long-term debt of $342.3 million, as described below. Included in the prior
period were payments of long-term debt of $444.6 million and net proceeds of
$354.3 million from short-term borrowings.
At June 30, 2001, total debt was $765.6 million, an increase of $3.0 million
from December 31, 2000.

In May 2001, the company issued $350 million of 8 1/8% senior notes due 2006.
In June 2001, the company completed a cash tender offer for $319.2 million
principal amount of its 11 3/4% senior notes due 2004. As a result of the
tender, the company recorded an extraordinary after-tax charge of $17.2 million,
net of $9.3 million tax benefit, or $.05 per diluted share, in the second
quarter of 2001 for the premium paid, unamortized debt-related expenses and
transaction costs of the tender offer.
In March 2001, the company entered into a new three-year $450 million
unsecured credit agreement which replaced the $400 million three-year facility
that was to expire in June 2001. As of June 30, 2001, $90.0 million was
borrowed under this agreement at a rate of 5.6%. In addition, $20.0 million
was borrowed under unsecured U.S. credit lines at a rate of 4.4%.
In April 2000, the company redeemed all of its $399.5 million outstanding 12%
senior notes. The redemption was funded through a combination of cash and
short-term borrowings. In March 2000, the company entered into an additional
$150 million credit agreement expiring April 2001 for the purpose of funding
this redemption. On April 12, 2001, the then outstanding balance was repaid at
maturity and the agreement expired.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its debt
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending
upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.
The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering $350 million of debt or equity
securities, which enables the company to be prepared for future market
opportunities.
At June 30, 2001, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax liabilities of $1,301 million. For the reasons cited below, management
determined that it is more likely than not that $992 million of such assets
will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $309 million.
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets
and adjusts the amount of the related valuation allowance, if necessary. The
factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company's forecast
of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that could be
implemented to realize deferred tax assets. Approximately $3.0 billion of
future taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net
deferred tax assets. 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 increased $58.9 million during the six months ended June
30, 2001, principally reflecting net income of $81.4 million, $28.4 million for
issuance of stock under stock option and other plans and $3.2 million of tax
benefits related to employee stock plans, offset in part by currency
translation of $54.3 million.
Conversion to the Euro Currency
- -------------------------------
On January 1, 1999, certain member countries of the European Union established
fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies and the European
Union's common currency (the "euro"). The transition period for the
introduction of the euro began on January 1, 1999. The company is addressing
the issues involved with the introduction of the euro. The more important
issues facing the company include converting information technology systems,
reassessing currency risk, and negotiating and amending agreements.
Based on progress to date, the company believes that the use of the euro will
not have a significant impact on the manner in which it conducts its business.
Accordingly, conversion to the euro is not expected to have a material effect
on the company's consolidated financial position, consolidated results of
operations, or liquidity.

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. In addition
to changes in general economic and business conditions and natural disasters,
these include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed below.
The company operates in an industry characterized by aggressive competition,
rapid technological change, evolving technology standards, and short product
life-cycles.
Future operating results will depend on the company's ability to design,
develop, introduce, deliver, or obtain new products and services on a timely
and cost-effective basis; the success of the actions taken to focus on higher
growth, e-business opportunities; on its ability to effectively manage the
shift in its technology business into higher growth, standards-based server
products; on its ability to mitigate the effects of competitive pressures and
volatility in the information technology and services industry on revenues,
pricing and margins; and on its ability to successfully attract and retain
highly skilled people. In addition, future operating results could be
impacted by market demand for and acceptance of the company's service and
product offerings.
A number of the company's contracts are long-term contracts for network
services, outsourcing, help desk and similar services, for which volumes are
not guaranteed. Future results will depend upon the company's ability to meet
performance levels over the terms of these contracts.
Certain of the company's systems integration contracts are fixed-price
contracts under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the
contracted services at an agreed-upon price. Future results will depend on
the company's ability to profitably perform these services contracts and bid
and obtain new contracts.
The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities.
Associated risks and uncertainties include the availability of appropriated
funds and contractual provisions allowing governmental entities to terminate
agreements in their discretion before the end of their terms.
The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel partners and
other parties that have complementary products, services, or skills. Future
results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of these third
parties. Future results will also depend upon the ability of external
suppliers to deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner
and on the financial condition of, and the company's relationship with,
distributors and other indirect channel partners.
Approximately 57% of the company's total revenue derives from international
operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic
conditions, trade protection measures, and import or export licensing
requirements.
