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 nine months ended September 30, 1997, the computation of
primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average number
of outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the
exercise of stock options. For the three months ended September 30,
1997, the fully diluted computation includes additional shares for the
assumed conversion of the 8 1/4% convertible notes due 2006. The
computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
are based solely on the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares. Conversion is not assumed for the 8 1/4% convertible notes due
2000 in either period in 1997, both convertible notes in 1996 and
Series A preferred stock in any of the periods 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 September 30, 1997, the Company reported net
income of $50.9 million, compared to net income of $14.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. On a per-share basis, the third
quarter net income was $.14 per primary and $.13 per fully diluted common
share after preferred dividends, compared to a loss of $.09 per primary and
fully diluted common share a year ago.
Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $1.62 billion,
compared to $1.63 billion for the year-ago period, which included a major
contract for electronic voting machines. Excluding this contract and a
three percentage point adverse foreign currency impact, revenue in the third
quarter increased 7%. Total gross profit percent was 35.5% in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to 32.5% in the year-ago period.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $340.0 million compared to $353.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, and research and development
expenses were $74.5 million compared to $81.2 million a year earlier. The
declines were largely due to the Company's cost reduction actions and the
effects of foreign currency translations.
For the third quarter of 1997, the Company reported an operating income
percent of 9.9% compared to 5.9% for the third quarter of 1996.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Customer revenue from the Information Services Group ("ISG") increased 6% in
the quarter as a result of growth in both systems integration and
outsourcing. ISG's gross profit percent was 21.1% in 1997 compared to 19.1%
last year reflecting the benefits of an improved bid quality and control
process.
In the Global Customer Services ("GCS") business, growth in distributed
computing support services moderated in the quarter due to increased
competition in the network integration market. Although customer revenue in
GCS increased 6% due to the continued rollout of a large Federal government
networking project, that project negatively impacted the group's gross
profit percent in the quarter, which was 27.0% compared to 28.7% last year.
Also impacting the group's margins was the continued shift in its business
mix from proprietary maintenance toward distributed computing support
services.
Customer revenue in the Computer Systems Group ("CSG") decreased 11% in
comparison with a year ago, which included the voting machines contract
mentioned above. Excluding this contract, CSG's revenue was flat when
compared with the prior year. CSG gross profit percent rose to 46.2% in
1997 from 41.6% last year, due in large part to a higher proportion of sales
of large-scale enterprise servers.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 1997 was $59.5 million compared to
$66.7 million in the third quarter of 1996, principally due to lower average
debt levels.
Other income (expense), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was an
expense of $20.2 million in the current quarter compared to an expense of
$7.5 million in the year-ago period. The change was mainly due to lower
equity and interest income.
Income before income taxes was $80.8 million in 1997 compared to $21.5
million last year. The provision for income taxes was $29.9 million in the
current period compared to $7.3 million in the year-ago period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income was $112.1 million,
or $.16 per fully diluted common share after payment of preferred dividends.
In the nine-month period one year ago, net income was $6.1 million, or a
loss of $.49 per fully diluted common share after preferred dividends.
Revenue was $4.74 billion compared to $4.56 billion for the first nine
months of 1996.
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.
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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at September 30, 1997 were
$555.1 million compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 1996. Cash was used
during the first nine months of 1997 for operating, investing and financing
activities as described below.
Cash used for operating activities during the nine months ended September
30, 1997 was $10.2 million compared to $352.7 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 nine months of 1997 was
$201.9 million compared to $176.3 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 nine months of 1997 was
$226.6 million compared to cash provided of $272.7 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 from issuances of debt and $339.6 million of
principal payments of debt. Dividends paid on preferred stock were $86.4
million in the first nine months of 1997 compared to $90.6 million in the
first nine months of 1996.
At September 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 September 30, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the facility and the entire $200 million was available for borrowings.
On October 7, 1997, the Company called all $345 million outstanding
principal amount of its 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2000 (the
"2000 Notes") for redemption on October 27, 1997. The 2000 Notes were
convertible, prior to the close of business on October 27, 1997 (the
"Conversion Expiration Time"), into an aggregate of 33.7 million shares of
the Company's common stock. In connection with the call for redemption, the
Company entered into a standby arrangement with an investment bank (the
"Purchaser") providing that, if fewer than all of the 2000 Notes were
surrendered for conversion prior to the Conversion Expiration Time, the
Purchaser would purchase from the Company such number of shares of its
common stock as would have been issuable upon conversion of the 2000 Notes
not so surrendered. Prior to the Conversion Expiration Time, approximately
$344 million principal amount of 2000 Notes were converted into
approximately 33.6 million shares of the Company's common stock. The
Purchaser purchased an additional .1 million shares of the Company's common
stock pursuant to the standby arrangement, and the proceeds were used by the
Company to effect the redemption of the 2000 Notes not surrendered for
conversion. As a result, no 2000 Notes are currently outstanding, and the
Company has issued all 33.7 million shares of its common stock issuable in
respect thereof.
8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
On November 7, 1997, the Company announced that it was making a special
conversion offer to holders of its 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2006 (the "2006 Notes"). The offer is for up to $294 million of the $299
million of 2006 Notes outstanding. Under the offer, the Company will pay
holders who elect to convert their notes into common stock a cash premium of
$155, plus accrued interest, for each $1,000 in principal amount of 2006
Notes converted. Assuming the full $294 million in principal amount of 2006
Notes is converted, the Company would take a one-time charge against
fourth-quarter net income of approximately $46 million, would issue 42.8
million shares of common stock, and would save approximately $24 million in
annual interest payments.
The Company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for or repurchase its
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 approximately $315 million of debt
or equity securities, which enables the Company to be prepared for future
market opportunities.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities of $1,412 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 $403 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 $69.7 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 principally reflecting translation adjustments of $104.9
million and preferred dividends declared of $86.4 million, offset in part by
net income of $112.1 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 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 shift of
its business mix away 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.
