                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

    EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries ("EMC" or the "Company") design,
manufacture, market and support a wide range of hardware and software products
and provide services for the storage, management, protection and sharing of
electronic information. These integrated solutions enable organizations to
create an electronic information infrastructure, or what EMC calls an
E-Infostructure. EMC is the leading supplier of these solutions, which are
comprised of enterprise storage systems, networks, software and services. Its
products are sold to customers utilizing a variety of the world's most popular
computing platforms for key applications, including electronic commerce, data
warehousing and transaction processing. EMC believes these and other
information-intensive applications provide it with significant growth
opportunities.

    The effective management, sharing, protection and availability of critical
information is a major challenge for organizations as the number, size and scope
of and reliance on computer systems continues to grow. To address this market
opportunity, EMC has introduced the Enterprise Storage Network, or "ESN." An EMC
ESN is a dedicated network connecting EMC storage systems and software to all
major computing platforms via various network protocols, including fibre
channel. An ESN provides the basis for an E-Infostructure by enabling customers
to consolidate all of their information resources for more effective and
efficient management, sharing and protection.

    The Company's objective is to extend its position as the enterprise storage
solutions leader in the IT industry and to strengthen the EMC E-Infostructure as
the standard for networked storage. EMC develops its products by integrating
technologically advanced, industry standard components with Company-designed
hardware and software that the Company believes provide competitive advantages
for its customers.

    The customers for the Company's products are located worldwide and represent
a cross section of industries and government agencies. EMC products continue to
be accepted widely by both existing customers and new accounts in all major
industries worldwide.

    In 1999, the Company acquired Data General Corporation ("Data General"), a
leading provider of CLARiiON Fibre Channel storage systems and AViiON computer
systems. The Company integrated the CLARiiON product line into EMC's primary
storage line of business and formed a new Data General division to continue to
develop, market and service AViiON computers and related services.

    EMC, a Massachusetts corporation, was incorporated in 1979 and has its
corporate headquarters at 35 Parkwood Drive, Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

                                       1

PRODUCTS AND OFFERINGS

STORAGE SYSTEMS

EMC SYMMETRIX ENTERPRISE STORAGE SYSTEMS

    The Company's flagship product line is the EMC Symmetrix Enterprise Storage
family of systems. The Company believes that the Symmetrix Enterprise Storage
systems offer the highest levels of functionality, performance and availability
in data centers and the high-end of the storage market. EMC's common hardware
architecture on which its Symmetrix products are based is called MOSAIC:2000, a
modular design and interface that allows new technologies to be rapidly
incorporated. This hardware architecture enables EMC to deliver advanced
technologies to market quickly while maintaining a consistent platform upon
which its customers can expand capacity, performance, connectivity and
functionality. This architectural hardware design has enabled the Company to
expand its Symmetrix products into existing markets and to enter new, strategic
markets quickly with proven storage products and services.

    Since the introduction of the first Symmetrix model in 1991, EMC has
continued to enhance and increase the capabilities of the Symmetrix family,
including increasing the host connectivity capabilities and adding advanced
software functionality. The Company intends to continue to introduce new
versions of the Symmetrix systems with increased performance and other
capabilities.

    The Company also continues to engage in research and development of new
hardware technology for the enterprise storage market.

EMC CLARIION FIBRE CHANNEL STORAGE SYSTEMS

    The EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel family of products represents a range of
flexible and scalable midrange storage systems for Microsoft Windows NT and UNIX
platforms. EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel storage systems offer fast, scalable and
dependable storage solutions for applications in the distributed environments of
large enterprises and for emerging companies with moderate but rapidly growing
demands on the performance, availability and manageability of their storage
infrastructure.

    The Company believes that the EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel storage systems
offer storage with the highest performance and availability in the midrange
storage market. The Company intends to continue to introduce new versions of the
EMC CLARiiON systems with increased performance and other capabilities.

EMC CONNECTRIX ENTERPRISE STORAGE NETWORK SYSTEMS

    The EMC Connectrix Enterprise Storage Network System, introduced in March
1999, is the industry's first fully integrated fibre channel network
connectivity solution. EMC Connectrix facilitates the connection of a large
number of servers to a single storage system through fibre channel links. EMC
Connectrix offers up to 64-port switched Fibre Channel (FC-SW) connectivity
between EMC Symmetrix Enterprise Storage systems, EMC CLARiiON Fibre Channel
storage systems and distributed servers. Connectrix systems quadruple the number
of servers that can connect to these systems, when compared with direct fibre
channel server-to-storage connections.

    The Company believes that its EMC Connectrix systems, combined with its
storage systems with fibre channel connectivity, facilitate the implementation
of the EMC ESN and enable customers to build an E-Infostructure in which a
single pool of storage will handle all information storage requirements of even
the largest, most complex organizations.

    The Company intends to continue to introduce new versions of the EMC
Connectrix system with additional features and capabilities.

                                       2

EMC CELERRA FILE SERVER

    The EMC Celerra File Server is a network-attached storage system providing
high performance, high availability and scalability for enterprise file storage.
The system features EMC-developed software and hardware, known as Data Movers,
within a common enclosure and with a common management environment. The Data
Movers and management environment connect to Symmetrix Enterprise Storage
systems and external customer networks through a variety of interfaces. A file
server's purpose is to provide end users with the ability to access, update and
store common files to a central location directly from their desktop computer
without the need to utilize a general purpose server.

    The Company intends to continue to introduce new versions of the EMC Celerra
File Server system with additional features and capabilities.

    Revenue from enterprise storage systems (including Symmetrix, Connectrix and
Celerra products) represented approximately 60%, 58% and 56% of revenues in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Revenue from CLARiiON storage systems
represented approximately 6%, 8% and 11% of revenues in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

ENTERPRISE STORAGE SOFTWARE

    EMC offers highly innovative software that provides customers with superior
information management, sharing and protection capabilities. These capabilities
include enhanced backup/restore, disaster recovery, business continuance, data
migration and data movement. The Company's enterprise storage software is
intended to be used with its storage systems as well as with a variety of host
computers and applications developed by third parties. During 1999, the Company
introduced several new software products and enhancements to existing products.

    EMC's information management software includes EMC Control Center, EMC
PowerPath and EMC VolumeLogix. Examples of information sharing software are
Symmetrix Enterprise Storage Platform (ESP) and EMC InfoMover. The Company's
information protection software includes Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF),
EMC TimeFinder and EMC Data Manager (EDM).

    In August 1999, the Company announced its E-Infostructure Developers
Program, which makes certain of its application programming interfaces (APIs)
available to third-party independent software vendors (ISVs) to facilitate the
development and sale of software optimized to run on EMC systems. Customers are
then able to select from a wider range of software tools when deploying EMC
systems and to more easily integrate EMC systems into their existing software
environments.

    EMC also sponsored the formation of the FibreAlliance in 1999. The
FibreAlliance is an independent standards group comprised of numerous hardware
and software companies. The goal of the FibreAlliance is to develop and
implement common methods for managing the heterogeneous fibre channel-based
networks of storage systems and computer servers, which EMC calls ESNs. The
FibreAlliance is submitting these methods to independent standards bodies for
consideration as an industry-wide standard.

    The Company finalized its acquisition of software developer Softworks, Inc.
in January 2000. Softworks, Inc.'s products improve the management, performance
and integrity of critical corporate information across Windows NT, UNIX and
mainframe platforms and will be incorporated into the Company's software
portfolio.

    During 1999, EMC completed construction of a state-of-the-art software
development lab in Hopkinton, Massachusetts to support the Company's growing
software research and development efforts. EMC believes that its investments in
software development will accelerate adoption of EMC Enterprise Storage Network
models and facilitate implementation of an E-Infostructure by customers.

                                       3

with the addition of new customer support centers in Japan and Australia.

MARKETS AND CHANNELS

STORAGE SYSTEMS MARKET

    During 1999, the Company focused primarily on two major customer markets:
the Global 2000 and Internet businesses. These markets are characterized by
their requirements for large amounts of information storage capacity and the
advanced functionality provided by EMC's products.

                                       4

GLOBAL 2000

    The Global 2000, defined as the world's 2000 largest corporations, represent
a significant percentage of the Company's customer base. The Global 2000's
computing requirements encompass multiple computer platforms, including
mainframes, and those running the UNIX and Windows NT operating systems.

    As the size and scope of those systems increases, the Company's Global 2000
customers are deploying EMC's Enterprise Storage Networks for the consolidation,
management, sharing and protection of the information generated by those
platforms. By building an E-Infostructure to support multiple business
applications, these customers are able to quickly, cost-effectively and reliably
deploy and expand applications and systems. The Company believes it is the
leading storage supplier to the Global 2000.

INTERNET BUSINESS

    Internet-related businesses, those that conduct their primary business over
the Internet or provide Internet-related services to end users or other
businesses, represent a rapidly growing segment of the Company's customer base.
These businesses require rapid and constant access to extremely large volumes of
information. The Internet-related businesses' computing requirements are
typically standardized on a single computer platform, incorporating components
from several leading suppliers. EMC believes it is the leading storage provider
to Internet-related businesses.

    In October 1999, the Company launched its EMC Proven E-Infostructure
program. The EMC Proven program provides Internet-based businesses and service
providers with a marketing vehicle to effectively communicate the inherent value
of their investments in information infrastructure to customers and investors.
EMC Proven members have implemented the necessary enterprise storage resources
to operate at peak efficiency, adapt to a constantly changing business climate
and easily manage Internet-driven growth.

MARKETING AND CUSTOMERS

    EMC markets its products through multiple distribution channels, including
its direct sales force and selected distributors, systems integrators, resellers
and OEMs. The Company has a direct sales presence throughout North America,
Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and the Asia Pacific region
and uses distributors as its primary distribution channel in other areas of the
world. During 1999, the Company continued broadening its direct and indirect
sales presence worldwide.

    During 1999, the Company derived 63% of its revenue from North America; 3%
from Latin America; 27% from Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and 7% from the
Asia Pacific region.

INDIRECT CHANNELS

    The Company believes its Symmetrix and CLARiiON products are well suited for
sale by resellers, systems integrators and OEMs. The Company has reseller or OEM
agreements with several systems vendors. These agreements enable the reseller or
OEM to market and resell certain of the Company's systems worldwide, subject to
certain terms and conditions, for connection to certain of the reseller or OEM's
respective computing platforms. The Company's principal reseller and OEM
agreements are with Unisys Corporation, Fujitsu/Siemens Computers ("FSC"),
International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM") (formerly Sequent Computer
Corporation), Selectron, a subsidiary of AT&T/ NCR Corporation, Compagnie des
Machines Bull S.A. and NEC Corporation ("NEC"). EMC also had a reseller
agreement with Hewlett-Packard Company for enterprise storage products until
June 30, 1999, at which time the parties agreed to terminate this contract.

                                       5

ALLIANCES

    The Company has alliances with leading software, relational database and
application companies, including Microsoft Corporation, SAP AG, Oracle
Corporation and other major independent software applications vendors. EMC
intends to continue to form additional strategic alliances. EMC's strategy is to
work closely with leading software companies to provide added value to its
customers by integrating EMC solutions with software applications that customers
rely on to manage their day-to-day business operations.

NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

    The Company actively pursues new business development through a dedicated
organization focused on developing new businesses aligned to the Company's
markets. This is accomplished by maintaining a long-term view on the industry's
potential and continually assessing the market. Key objectives are to identify
and close significant business development opportunities (mergers, acquisitions
and investments) that are aligned with the Company's strategic direction,
including hardware, software and services businesses that complement and augment
those of the Company, and to manage, develop and integrate such new businesses
into EMC.

MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY

    EMC's products are assembled and tested primarily at the Company's
facilities in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Cork, Ireland. Product
components manufactured by subcontractors in the United States and Europe are
assembled in accordance with production standards and quality controls
established by EMC. See "Properties."

    The Company employs a corporate-wide Total Quality Management philosophy to
ensure the quality of its designs, manufacturing processes and suppliers. The
Company's manufacturing operations in Massachusetts currently hold an ISO 9001
Certificate of Registration. This internationally recognized endorsement of
ongoing quality management represents the highest level of certification
available. The Company's manufacturing operations in Ireland currently hold an
ISO 9002 Certificate of Registration and ISO 14001 Environmental Management
Standard Certification. In addition, EMC sites in the United Kingdom, Italy,
France, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa hold ISO certifications.

RAW MATERIALS

    EMC's products utilize the Company's engineering designs, with industry
standard and semi-custom components and subsystems. Among the most important
components that EMC uses are disk drives, high density memory components and
power supplies. See "Factors that May Affect Future Results--If EMC's suppliers
do not meet its quality or delivery requirements, EMC could have decreased
revenues and earnings."

PATENTS

    EMC has been granted or owns by assignment approximately 500 patents. The
Company also has a number of patent applications pending relating to its
hardware and software products.

BACKLOG

    The Company manufactures its products on the basis of its forecast of
near-term demand and maintains inventory in advance of receipt of firm orders
from customers. Products are configured to customer specifications and are
generally shipped by the Company shortly after receipt of the order. Customers
may reschedule orders with little or no penalty. For these reasons, the
Company's backlog at any particular time is not meaningful because it is not
necessarily indicative of future sales levels.

                                       6

COMPETITION

    In the Global 2000 and Internet markets, EMC competes primarily with
computer systems manufacturers. In the Company's opinion, these companies
compete based on their overall market presence and their ability to sell both
computer systems and storage systems.

    The Company believes that it has a number of competitive advantages over
these companies, including product, distribution and customer service. The
Company believes the advantages in its products include performance, capacity,
availability, connectivity, value-added software, time to market enhancements
and total value of ownership. The Company believes its advantages in
distribution include its direct sales force and its broad network of indirect
sales channels. The Company believes its advantages in customer service include
its ability to effectively monitor and provide service (which is often remote
and without interruption to a company's business) for its systems and software
24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

EMPLOYEES

    As of January 31, 2000, EMC had approximately 17,700 employees worldwide.
None of the Company's domestic employees is represented by a labor union, and
the Company has never suffered an interruption of business as a result of a
labor dispute. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be
good.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT
  SALES

    The Company is active in three business segments: storage products; server
products; and services. Sales and marketing operations outside the United States
are conducted through sales subsidiaries and branches located principally in
Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. The Company has three primary
manufacturing facilities, one in Massachusetts, which provides Symmetrix
products to the North American markets, one in North Carolina, which
manufactures CLARiiON systems and AViiON servers, and one in Ireland which
manufactures Symmetrix systems and CLARiiON systems. Total exports, in millions,
from these facilities amounted to approximately $2,575, $2,184, and $1,884 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (See Note P to the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

    The Company's principal corporate offices are located at 35 Parkwood Drive,
Hopkinton, Massachusetts. As of December 31, 1999, the Company owned or leased a
total of approximately 4.5 million square feet of space worldwide which is used
primarily for manufacturing, research and development, customer service, sales,
marketing and general administration.

    The Company also owns and leases space for its sales and services offices

Massachusetts and Cork, Ireland areas for possible expansion purposes. The
Company believes its present level of manufacturing and other capacity, along
with its plans for expansion, will be sufficient to accommodate its
requirements.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The Company is a party to certain litigation which it considers routine and
incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of
these actions to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

REVENUES

    Total revenues were $6,715.6, $5,436.2 and $4,487.9 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing increases of $1,279.4, or 24%, from 1998 to 1999, and
$948.3 or 21% from 1997 to 1998.

    Enterprise storage hardware revenues from products sold directly and through
OEMs and resellers were $4,006.5, $3,167.1 and $2,496.7 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing increases of $839.4, or 27%, from 1998 to 1999 and
$670.4, or 27%, from 1997 to 1998. The increase in enterprise systems revenues
was primarily due to the continued strong demand for the Company's Symmetrix
series of products. These products address the growing demand for
enterprise-wide storage solutions, allowing users to move, store and protect
mission critical information in UNIX, Windows NT and mainframe environments.

                                       12

    Enterprise storage software revenues from products sold directly and through
OEMs and resellers were $821.7, $445.4 and $176.9 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing increases of $376.3, or 85%, from 1998 to 1999 and
$268.5, or 152%, from 1997 to 1998. The increase in software revenues was
primarily due to increased licenses of enterprise storage software on Symmetrix
systems, both newly shipped and already installed, and the successful
introduction of new and enhanced software products.

    Revenues from enterprise switching products sold directly by McDATA,
primarily the ESCON director series of products, were $142.8, $178.8 and $189.1
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a decrease of $36.0, or 20%,
from 1998 to 1999 and a decrease of $10.3, or 5%, from 1997 to 1998. The
decreases from 1998 to 1999 and from 1997 to 1998 were primarily due to the
product transition from ESCON-based to fibre-channel-based directors. The
Company anticipates that revenues from ESCON directors will continue to decline.

    Revenues from the CLARiiON line of storage products, excluding related
service revenues, were $415.6, $413.9 and $499.4 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing an increase of $1.7, or 0.4%, from 1998 to 1999 and a
decrease of $85.5, or 17%, from 1997 to 1998. The increase in 1999 CLARiiON
revenues reflects an increase in direct sales offset by decreased sales volume
from indirect channels. The decrease in 1998 is primarily the result of a longer
than anticipated product transition from SCSI-based to fibre-based storage
products, and the resultant decrease in sales volume from indirect channels.

    Total storage products revenues were $5,386.7, $4,205.2 and $3,362.0 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing an increase of $1,181.5, or 28%,
from 1998 to 1999 and an increase of $843.2, or 25%, from 1997 to 1998. The
increase in both periods is due primarily to sales of enterprise storage
hardware and software.

    Revenues from AViiON server products were $596.3, $655.6 and $660.6 in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively, representing decreases of $59.3, or 9%, from 1998
to 1999 and $5.0, or 1%, from 1997 to 1998. The decrease in revenue from 1998 to
1999 was primarily the result of the closing of certain international sales
offices in an effort to refocus the business and improve profitability.

    Service revenues were $732.6, $575.3 and $465.3 in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively representing an increase of $157.3, or 27%, from 1998 to 1999 and
an increase of $110.0, or 24%, from 1997 to 1998. The increase in both periods
was primarily a result of the growth in EMC professional services and the
acquisitions of the professional services businesses Groupe MCI and Millennia
III, Inc. in the second and third quarters of 1998, respectively. In addition,
service revenues continue to grow as a result of the larger installed base
driven by increased product unit sales.

    Enterprise hardware and software revenues for 1999, 1998 and 1997 under the
Company's reseller agreement with Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") were $217.1,
$718.0 and $504.1, respectively, representing 3%, 13% and 11% of total revenues,
respectively. The Company and HP agreed to terminate their reseller contract for
enterprise storage products effective as of June 30, 1999. The Company also has
a reseller agreement with HP for CLARiiON and AViiON products, which represented
2%, 3% and 6% of revenues in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Revenues on sales into the North American markets were $4,257.1, $3,367.8
and $2,708.2 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing increases of
$889.3, or 26%, from 1998 to 1999, and $659.6, or 24%, from 1997 to 1998. The
revenue growth reflects continued strong demand for the Company's products and
services.

    Revenues on sales into the markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa
were $1,844.3, $1,597.6 and $1,323.2 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing increases of $246.7, or 15%, from 1998 to 1999, and $274.4, or 21%,
from 1997 to 1998. The reduced growth rate in 1999 reflects the impact of
closing certain Data General sales offices.

                                       13

    Revenues on sales into the markets in the Asia Pacific region were $439.0,
$381.5 and $396.3 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing an increase
of $57.5, or 15%, from 1998 to 1999, and a decrease of $14.8, or 4%, from 1997
to 1998. The increase in 1999 was due to the Company's efforts to expand its
business in this region combined with strong demand for the Company's products
and services. The decrease in 1998 was principally attributable to a downturn in
economic trends in the Asia Pacific market.

    Revenues on sales into the markets of Latin America were $175.2, $89.2 and
$60.2 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing increases of $86.0, or
96%, from 1998 to 1999 and $29.0, or 48%, from 1997 to 1998. The increase in
both periods was primarily due to the Company's efforts to expand its business
in this region combined with strong demand for the Company's products and
services.

GROSS MARGINS

    Overall gross margins increased to 51.5% in 1999, compared to 44.9% in 1998
and 41.8% in 1997. Product gross margins increased to 54.0% in 1999, compared to
46.5% in 1998 and 42.4% in 1997. The increase in product margins for both
periods is primarily attributable to increased licensing of the Company's
enterprise software products, which have higher gross margins than sales of the
Company's hardware products. Software revenue as a percentage of total revenues
increased to 12% in 1999 from 8% in 1998 and 4% in 1997. Other factors affecting
product gross margins include the impact of component cost declines being
greater than the impact of product price declines. The Company currently
believes that product price declines will continue.

    Service gross margins decreased to 30.8% in 1999, compared to 31.2% in 1998
and 36.5% in 1997. The decrease in service margins from 1998 to 1999 is
primarily due to a decrease in Data General service revenues caused by the
closure of certain international sales offices. The decrease in service margins
from 1997 to 1998 is primarily due to a significant investment in EMC
professional services during 1998.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $572.5, $435.3 and $332.1 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of revenues, R&D expenses
were 9%, 8% and 7% in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase in R&D
spending levels from 1997 to 1998 and 1998 to 1999 reflects the Company's
ongoing research and development efforts in a variety of areas, including EMC
ESN technologies, network attached storage products, enhancements to the
Symmetrix family of products, new enterprise storage software products and fibre
channel connectivity. R&D for 1998 also includes costs associated with the
integration of Conley Corporation, acquired in August 1998, which became the EMC
Cambridge Software Development Center.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $1,435.5,
$1,087.7 and $826.4 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. As a percentage of
revenues, SG&A expenses were 21%, 20% and 18% in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in spending levels for both periods is primarily due
to the Company's efforts to build an infrastructure to achieve broader coverage
and greater account depth around the world and to expand its technical sales
organization to support the current and expected growth in software revenues. In
addition, during 1999, the Company increased its direct sales presence where it
previously relied upon resellers.

RESTRUCTURING, MERGER AND OTHER CHARGES

    During fiscal year 1999, the Company recorded a total charge of $223.6
related to restructuring, merger and other charges primarily related to the
acquisition of Data General. During 1998, the Company recorded charges totaling
$135.0 related to a restructuring program and other charges.

    During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company approved and implemented a
restructuring program in connection with its acquisition of Data General. The
restructuring plan, which is expected to be completed by December 2000, provides
for the consolidation of the Company's operations and elimination of duplicative
facilities worldwide. Accordingly, during 1999, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $170.6 related to employee termination benefits, facility closure
costs, asset disposals and other exit costs which the Company has recorded in
operating expenses. The expected cash impact of the charge is approximately
$140.7 of which $52.4 was paid in 1999.

    The restructuring program includes an aggregate net reduction of the
workforce by approximately 1,100 employees, approximately 59% of whom are or
were based in North America and 23% of whom are or were based in Europe. The
employee separations affect the majority of business functions and job classes.
Of the approximately 1,100 employees identified, approximately 500 were
terminated in 1999.

    In 1999, the Company also recorded a charge for merger costs of $23.5 for
financial advisory services, legal, accounting and other direct expenses related
to the Data General acquisition which has been recorded in operating expenses.
In addition, the Company recorded a $14.1 charge related to asset impairments
recorded in operating expenses and recorded a charge of $15.4 for capitalized
software and inventory write-downs which is included in cost of product sales.

    In 1998, the Company recorded a charge of $135.0 related to a restructuring
program and certain asset write-downs resulting from the program. The charge
included approximately $82.4 related to employee termination benefits, asset
write downs and other exit costs which the Company has recorded in operating
expenses and approximately $52.6 for capitalized software and inventory write
downs which are included in cost of product sales. The total cash impact of the
restructuring charge is approximately $58.5, of which $24.4 was paid in 1998 and
$21.6 was paid in 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the remaining accruals of $15.7
from the 1998 restructuring program are primarily related to excess vacant
rental properties in Europe.

    The 1998 restructuring program included an aggregate net reduction of the
workforce by approximately 480 employees, approximately 65% of whom were based
in North America and the remainder of whom were based in Europe and the Asia
Pacific region. The employee separations affected the majority of business
functions and job classes. Of the 480 employees identified, approximately 400
were terminated during 1998 and 80 were terminated in 1999.

                                       15

    The amounts accrued and charged against the established provisions described
above were as follows:

INVESTMENT INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

    Investment income increased to $131.9 in 1999, from $114.4 in 1998 and $82.6
in 1997. Investment income was earned primarily from investments in cash
equivalents and short and long-term investments. Investment income increased in
1999 and 1998 primarily due to higher average cash and investment balances which
were derived from operations.

    Interest expense decreased to $33.5 in 1999 from $34.8 in 1998. Interest
expense increased to $34.8 in 1998 from $31.3 in 1997. The decrease in 1999 from
1998 is primarily due to conversions of the 3 1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2002 of the Company (the "3 1/4% Notes") to Common Stock. The increase
in 1998 from 1997 was primarily due to the issuance of the 3 1/4% Notes and the
6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 of the Company (the "6% Notes").

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE), NET

    The net other income was $17.7 in 1999 compared with the net other income of
$0.4 in 1998 and $1.1 in 1997. The increase in the net other income from 1998 to
1999 is primarily attributable to gains on the sale of publicly traded
securities acquired as part of the Data General acquisition.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    The provision for income taxes was $346.6 in 1999, $260.3 in 1998 and $181.8
in 1997, which resulted in effective tax rates of 25.5%, 28.5% and 23.6% in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The effective tax rates in 1999, 1998, and
1997 were lower than the statutory federal rate (35%) due primarily to the
realization of the benefits of the Company's global tax strategies and the
benefits derived from its offshore manufacturing operations. The major impact of
the Data General acquisition to the tax provision under the pooling of interest
method of acquisition accounting was a reduction in the valuation reserve
formerly recorded for certain Data General net operating loss carryforwards and
the non-deductibility of certain restructuring charges. The Company anticipates
that the effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 will be approximately 27%.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments were $3,173.7
and $2,380.3 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, an increase of $793.4.
In 1999, cash and cash equivalents

                                       16

increased by $273.9 and short and long-term investments increased by $519.5.
This reflects the Company's continued efforts to invest excess cash in short and
long-term investments, which generate a higher yield than cash and cash
equivalents.

    Cash provided by operating activities was $1,371.6. This was primarily
generated from net income offset by an increase in working capital, primarily
attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, consistent with the growth
of the business. Cash used by investing activities was $1,170.9, principally for
purchases of investments and additions to property, plant and equipment.

    Cash provided by financing activities was $73.2, principally from the
issuance of Common Stock from stock option exercises.

    The Company has available for use a credit line of $50.0 and may elect to
borrow at any time. In March 1997, the Company sold $517.5 of the 3 1/4% Notes.
The 3 1/4% Notes are generally convertible into shares of Common Stock at any
time prior to the redemption date at a conversion price of $11.33 per share. As
of December 31, 1999, $57.1 of the 3 1/4% Notes have been converted into Common
Stock. On February 15, 2000, the Company announced that it would redeem all of
the outstanding 3 1/4% Notes on March 15, 2000; however, the Company believes
that substantially all of the outstanding 3 1/4% Notes were converted into
Common Stock on or prior to such date. In May 1997, the Company sold $212.8 of
the 6% Notes. The 6% Notes are generally convertible into shares of common stock
at a conversion price of $83.82 per share, subject to adjustment in certain
events. As of December 31, 1999, none of the 6% Notes have been converted into
Common Stock. Based on its current operating and capital expenditure forecasts,
the Company believes that the combination of funds currently available, funds
generated from operations and its available line of credit will be adequate to
finance its ongoing operations.

    To date, inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's financial
results.

                                       17

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

    The Company's prospects are subject to certain uncertainties and risks. This
Annual Report on Form 10-K also contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Federal Securities Laws. The Company's future results
may differ materially from its current results and actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
certain risk factors, including but not limited to those set forth below, other
one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously and from time
to time in EMC's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

IF EMC'S SUPPLIERS DO NOT MEET ITS QUALITY OR DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS, EMC COULD
  HAVE DECREASED REVENUES AND EARNINGS.

    EMC purchases several sophisticated components and products from one or a
limited number of qualified suppliers, including some of its competitors. These
components and products include disk drives, high density memory components and
power supplies. EMC has experienced delivery delays from time to time because of
high industry demand or the inability of some vendors to consistently meet its
quality and delivery requirements. If any of its suppliers were to fail to meet
the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for its
products, EMC could lose time-sensitive customer orders and have significantly
decreased quarterly revenues and earnings, which would have a material adverse
effect on EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

    Additionally, EMC periodically transitions its product line to incorporate
new technologies. The importance of transitioning its customers smoothly to new
technologies, along with its historically uneven pattern of quarterly sales,
intensifies the risk that a supplier who fails to meet its delivery or quality
requirements will have an adverse impact on EMC's revenues and earnings.

EMC MAY BE UNABLE TO KEEP PACE WITH RAPID INDUSTRY CHANGES.

    The computer storage and server markets are characterized by rapid
technological change, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry
standards. Sales of the Symmetrix series of products constitute the principal
source of revenues for EMC and EMC expects these sales to continue to be the
principal source of its revenues in the near future. Customer preferences in
these markets are difficult to predict, however, and there can be no assurance
that the Symmetrix series or other of the Company's products will continue to be
properly positioned in the market or to receive customer acceptance. In
addition, as a significant number of EMC's products are designed to be fully
compatible with the computers and operating systems of IBM and others, EMC's
business could also be adversely affected by modifications in the design or
configuration of these computers and operating systems.

    Risks inherent in the transition to new products include the difficulty in
forecasting customer demand accurately, the inability to expand production
capacity to meet demand for new products, the impact of customers' demand for
new products on the products being replaced and delays in initial shipments of
new products. Further risks inherent in new product introductions include the
uncertainty of price-performance relative to products of competitors,
competitors' responses to the introductions and the desire by customers to
evaluate new products for longer periods of time. There can be no assurance that
EMC will be able to effectively manage the transitions to new products or new
technologies.

THE MARKETS EMC SERVES ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND EMC MAY BE UNABLE TO COMPETE
  EFFECTIVELY.

    EMC competes with many established companies in the computer storage and
server industries and certain of these companies have substantially greater
financial, marketing and technological resources, larger distribution
capabilities, earlier access to customers and more opportunity to address

                                       18

customers' various information technology requirements than EMC. EMC's business
may be adversely affected by the announcement or introduction of new products by
its competitors, including hardware, software and services, price reductions of
its competitors' equipment or services and the implementation of effective
marketing strategies by its competitors.

COMPETITIVE PRICING COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT EMC'S REVENUES AND EARNINGS.

    Competitive pricing pressures exist in the computer storage and server
markets and have had and may in the future have an adverse effect on EMC's
revenues and earnings. There also has been and may continue to be a willingness
on the part of certain competitors to reduce prices in order to preserve or gain
market share, which EMC cannot foresee. EMC currently believes that pricing
pressures are likely to continue.

    To date, EMC has been able to manage its component and product design costs.
However, there can be no assurance that EMC will be able to continue to achieve
reductions in component and product design costs. The relative and varying rates
of product price and component cost declines could have an adverse effect on
EMC's earnings.

CHANGES IN FOREIGN LAWS, RULES OR REGULATIONS OR OTHER CONDITIONS COULD IMPAIR
  EMC'S INTERNATIONAL SALES.

    A substantial portion of EMC's revenues is derived from sales outside the
United States. In addition, a substantial portion of EMC's products is
manufactured outside of the United States. Accordingly, EMC's future results
could be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, changes in a specific country's or region's
political or economic conditions, trade restrictions, import or export licensing
requirements, the overlap of different tax structures or changes in
international tax laws, changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a
variety of foreign laws and regulations and longer payment cycles in certain
countries.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EMC'S INDIRECT CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION MAY ADVERSELY
  AFFECT EMC'S FINANCIAL RESULTS.

    EMC derives a significant percentage of its product revenues from indirect
channels of distribution, including resellers, systems integrators and
distributors. EMC's financial results could be adversely affected if its
contracts with its indirect channels of distribution were terminated, if EMC's
relationship with its indirect channels were to deteriorate or if the financial
condition of its indirect channels were to weaken. In addition, as EMC's
business grows, EMC may have an increased reliance on indirect channels of
distribution. There can be no assurance that EMC will be successful in
maintaining or expanding these channels. If EMC is not successful, EMC may lose
certain sales opportunities. Furthermore, the partial reliance on indirect
channels of distribution may materially reduce the visibility to management of
potential orders, thereby making it more difficult to accurately forecast such
orders. In addition, there can be no assurance that indirect channels will not
develop or market products in competition with EMC in the future.

HISTORICALLY UNEVEN SALES PATTERNS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT QUARTERLY REVENUES
  AND EARNINGS.

    EMC's quarterly sales have historically reflected an uneven pattern in which
a disproportionate percentage of a quarter's total sales occur in the last month
and weeks and days of each quarter. This pattern makes prediction of revenues,
earnings and working capital for each financial period especially difficult and
uncertain and increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly
results and financial condition. EMC believes this uneven sales pattern is a
result of many factors including:

                                       19

    - the significant size of EMC's average product price in relation to its
      customers' budgets, resulting in long lead times for customers' budgetary
      approval, which tends to be given late in a quarter

    - the tendency of customers to wait until late in a quarter to commit to
      purchase in the hope of obtaining more favorable pricing from one or more
      competitors seeking their business

    - the fourth quarter influence of customers spending their remaining capital
      budget authorization prior to new budget constraints in the first quarter
      of the following year

    - seasonal influences

    EMC's uneven sales pattern also makes it extremely difficult to predict
near-term demand and adjust manufacturing capacity accordingly. If orders vary
substantially from the predicted demand, the ability to assemble, test and ship
orders received in the last weeks and days of each quarter may be limited, which
could adversely affect quarterly revenues and earnings.

    In addition, EMC's revenues in any quarter are substantially dependent on
orders booked and shipped in that quarter, and its backlog at any particular
time is not necessarily indicative of future sales levels. This is because:

    - EMC manufactures its products on the basis of its forecast of near-term
      demand and maintains inventory in advance of receipt of firm orders from
      customers

    - EMC generally ships products shortly after receipt of the order

    - customers may reschedule orders with little or no penalty

    Moreover, delays in product shipping, caused by loss of power or
telecommunications or similar services, or an unexpected decline in revenues
without a corresponding and timely slowdown in expenses, could intensify the
impact of these factors on EMC's business, results of operations and financial
condition.

EMC MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SUSTAINING AND MANAGING ITS GROWTH.

    EMC has a history of rapid growth. EMC's future operating results will
depend on its management's ability to manage growth, including, but not limited
to, hiring and retaining significant numbers of qualified employees, forecasting
revenues, controlling expenses and managing its manufacturing capacity and other
assets and executing on its plans. An unexpected decline in the growth rate of
revenues without a corresponding and timely reduction in expense growth or a
failure to manage other aspects of growth could have a material adverse effect
on EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

    In addition, EMC's growth requires enhancement and expansion of its
infrastructure, including its management team, information systems and
manufacturing operations. The Company's continued success and profitability
depends on its ability to continue to improve its infrastructure to keep pace
with the growth in its overall business.

EMC'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF IT IS UNABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL.

    EMC's continued growth and success depends to a significant extent on the
continued service of senior management and other key employees, the development
of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified employees.
Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense in the high technology
industry. There can be no assurance that EMC will be successful in continuously
recruiting new personnel or in retaining existing personnel. The loss of one or
more key or other employees or EMC's inability to attract additional qualified
employees or retain other employees could have a material adverse effect on
EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

                                       20

MANUFACTURING RISKS COULD DIRECTLY IMPAIR EMC'S FINANCIAL RESULTS.

    EMC's products operate near the limits of electronic and physical
performance and are designed and manufactured with relatively small tolerances.
If flaws in design, production, assembly or testing were to occur by EMC or its
suppliers, EMC could experience a rate of failure in its products that would
result in substantial repair or replacement costs and potential damage to EMC's
reputation. Continued improvement in manufacturing capabilities and control of
material and manufacturing quality and costs are critical factors in the future
growth of EMC. EMC frequently revises and updates manufacturing and test
processes to address engineering and component changes to its products and
evaluates the reallocation of manufacturing resources among its facilities.
There can be no assurance that EMC's efforts to monitor, develop and implement
appropriate test and manufacturing processes for its products will be sufficient
to permit EMC to avoid a rate of failure in its products that results in
substantial delays in shipment, significant repair or replacement costs and
potential damage to EMC's reputation, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

EMC'S BUSINESS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED AS A RESULT OF THE RISKS
  ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS.

    As part of its business strategy, EMC seeks to acquire businesses that offer
complementary products, services or technologies. These acquisitions are
accompanied by the risks commonly encountered in an acquisition of a business
including, among other things:

    - the effect of the acquisition on EMC's financial and strategic position
      and reputation

    - the failure of an acquired business to further EMC's strategies

    - the difficulty of integrating the acquired business

    - the lack of experience in new markets, products or technologies

    - the diversion of EMC's management's attention from other business concerns

    - the impairment of relationships with customers of the acquired business

    - the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company

    - the implementation and maintenance of uniform company-wide standards,
      procedures and policies

    - the potential incompatibility of business cultures

    These factors could have a material adverse effect on EMC's business,
results of operations or financial condition. EMC expects that the consideration
paid for future acquisitions, if any, could be in the form of cash, stock,
rights to purchase stock or a combination of these. To the extent that EMC
issues shares of stock or other rights to purchase stock in connection with any
future acquisition, existing stockholders will experience dilution and
potentially decreased earnings per share.

    EMC also seeks to invest in businesses that offer complementary products,
services or technologies. These investments are accompanied by risks similar to
those encountered in an acquisition of a business.

EMC'S BUSINESS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED AS A RESULT OF THE RISKS
  ASSOCIATED WITH ALLIANCES.

    EMC has alliances with leading software, relational database and enterprise
application companies, and EMC plans to continue its strategy of developing key
alliances. EMC works with these companies to integrate its products with their
software applications. There can be no assurance that EMC will be

                                       21

successful in its ongoing strategic alliances or that EMC will be able to find
further suitable business relationships as it develops new products. Any failure
to continue or expand such relationships could have a material adverse effect on
EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

    There can be no assurance that companies with which EMC has strategic
alliances, certain of which have substantially greater financial, marketing and
technological resources than EMC, will not develop or market products in
competition with EMC in the future, discontinue their alliances with EMC or form
alliances with EMC's competitors.

EMC'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF IT CANNOT PROTECT ITS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

    EMC generally relies upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws
and contract rights in the United States and in other countries to establish and
maintain EMC's proprietary rights in its technology and products. However, there
can be no assurance that any of EMC's proprietary rights will not be challenged,
invalidated or circumvented. In addition, the laws of certain countries do not
protect EMC's proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United
States. Therefore, there can be no assurance that EMC will be able to adequately
protect its proprietary technology against unauthorized third-party copying or
use, which could adversely affect EMC's competitive position. Further, there can
be no assurance that EMC will be able to obtain licenses to any technology that
it may require to conduct its business or that, if obtainable, such technology
can be licensed at a reasonable cost.

    From time to time, EMC receives notices from third parties claiming
infringement by EMC's products of third-party patent or other intellectual
property rights. Responding to any such claim, regardless of its merit, could be
time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert management's attention and
resources and cause EMC to incur significant expenses. In the event there is a
temporary or permanent injunction entered prohibiting EMC from marketing or
selling certain of its products or a successful claim of infringement against
EMC requiring EMC to pay royalties to a third party, and EMC fails to develop or
license a substitute technology, EMC's business, results of operations or
financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

YEAR 2000 PROBLEMS MAY DISRUPT EMC'S BUSINESS.

    The information provided below constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

    In February 1997, EMC established a Year 2000 program to address systems and
software problems in interpreting certain dates in calendar year 2000. Under
this program, EMC completed, prior to January 1, 2000, an assessment of the
hardware and software in its business information systems and completed the
necessary modifications. To date, EMC has not experienced, and is not aware of,
any Year 2000 problems or disruptions in its internal systems; however, EMC
cannot, at this time, be assured that any such problems or disruptions, if they
were to occur, would not have a material impact on EMC's business, results of
operations or financial condition.

    Under its Year 2000 program, EMC sought and has received certifications of
Year 2000 compliance from all of its key vendors and suppliers. EMC has also
received certifications or statements of Year 2000 compliance from other vendors
and suppliers and has assessed questionnaire responses and related information
from other third parties. To date, EMC has not received any notification from
any of its key vendors, suppliers or other third parties of any Year 2000
problems or disruptions; however, EMC cannot, at this time, be assured that Year
2000 problems of third parties will not have a material impact on EMC's
business, results of operations or financial condition.

    EMC has designed and tested the current versions of its Symmetrix series of
products and the current versions of its other products to be Year 2000
compliant. EMC has made upgrades available for

                                       22

the older versions of its Symmetrix series of products and for certain other of
its older products that have not been tested for Year 2000 compliance so that
such products will test as Year 2000 compliant. EMC's CLARiiON storage products
and AViiON servers test as Year 2000 ready or EMC has made upgrades available to
make such products test as Year 2000 ready. There can be no assurance that Year
2000 problems in EMC's products, if they were to occur, would not have a
material impact on EMC's business, results of operations or financial condition.

    The assessment, remediation, testing and contingency planning phases of
EMC's Year 2000 program are complete. The total cost of such program has not
had, and EMC does not anticipate that the total cost of such program will have,
a material effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition.

    The most reasonably likely worst case scenarios regarding failures to
interpret certain dates in calendar Year 2000 would include a hardware failure,
the corruption or loss of data contained in EMC's internal information systems,
a failure affecting EMC's key vendors, suppliers or customers, the failure of
infrastructure services provided by government agencies or other third parties,
and customer dissatisfaction related to the performance of EMC's products.

    Under its program, EMC developed a Year 2000 contingency plan. This
contingency plan includes, among other things, manual "work-arounds" for
hardware and software failures, as well as substitution of systems, if required.

    Further information about EMC's Year 2000 readiness is available at the
Company's website at HTTP://WWW.EMC.COM/YEAR2000.

LITIGATION THAT EMC MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT EMC.

    In the ordinary course of business, EMC may become involved in litigation,
administrative proceedings and governmental proceedings. Such matters can be
time-consuming, divert management's attention and resources and cause EMC to
incur significant expenses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its
business, results of operations or financial condition.

CHANGES IN REGULATIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT EMC.

    EMC's business, results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected if laws, regulations or standards relating to EMC or its
products were newly implemented or changed.

EMC'S STOCK PRICE IS VOLATILE.

    EMC's stock price, like that of other technology companies, is subject to
significant volatility because of factors such as:

    - the announcement of new products, services or technological innovations by
      EMC or its competitors

    - quarterly variations in its operating results

    - changes in revenue or earnings estimates by the investment community

    - speculation in the press or investment community

    In addition, EMC's stock price may be affected by general market conditions
and domestic and international economic factors unrelated to EMC's performance.
Because of these factors, recent trends should not be considered reliable
indicators of future stock prices or financial results.

                                       23

ITEM 7A:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

    The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily from changes in interest
rates, foreign exchange rates and credit risk. To manage the volatility relating
to these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative transactions
pursuant to the Company's policies to hedge against known or forecasted market
exposures.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT

    As a multinational corporation, the Company is exposed to changes in foreign
exchange rates. These exposures may change over time and could have a material
adverse impact on our financial results. Historically, the Company's primary
exposures related to sales denominated in the Euro, the Japanese yen and the
British pound. Additionally, the Company's exposure to emerging market
economies, particularly in Latin America and South East Asia, has recently
increased because of its expanding presence in these markets. Despite the
relative size of the Company's exposures in these markets, the inherent
volatility of these economies could negatively impact the Company's financial
results.

    The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage the
risk of exchange rate fluctuations. In all cases, the Company uses these
derivative instruments to reduce its foreign exchange risk by essentially
creating offsetting market exposures. The instruments held by the Company are
not leveraged and are not held for trading or speculative purposes.

    The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its net asset position
and uses a combination of option and forward contracts to hedge anticipated cash
flows. The hedging activity is intended to offset the impact of currency
fluctuations on assets, liabilities and cash flows denominated in foreign
currencies. The success of the hedging program depends on forecasts of
transaction activity in the various currencies. To the extent that these
forecasts are overstated or understated during periods of currency volatility,
the Company could experience unanticipated currency gains or losses.

    The Company employs a variance/covariance model to calculate value-at-risk
for its combined foreign exchange position. This model assumes that the
relationships among market rates and prices that have been observed over the
last year are valid for estimating risk over the next trading day. Estimates of
volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the RiskMetrics
dataset as of December 31, 1999. This model measures the potential loss in fair
value that could arise from changes in market conditions, using a 95% confidence
level and assuming a one-day holding period. The value-at-risk on the combined
foreign exchange position was $0.4 million as of December 31, 1999.

INTEREST RATE RISK

    The Company maintains an investment portfolio consisting of debt securities
of various issuers, types and maturities. The investments are classified as
available for sale and all are denominated in U.S. dollars. These securities are
recorded on the balance sheet at market value, with any unrealized gain or loss
recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss). These instruments are not
leveraged, and are not held for trading purposes. A portion of the Company's
investment portfolio is comprised of mortgage-backed securities which are
subject to prepayment risk.

    The Company employs a variance/covariance model to calculate value-at-risk
for its combined investment portfolios. This model assumes that the
relationships among market rates and prices that have been observed over the
last year are valid for estimating risk over the next trading day. Estimates of
volatility and correlations of market factors are drawn from the RiskMetrics
dataset as of December 31, 1999. This model measures the potential loss in fair
value that could arise from changes

                                       24

in market conditions, using a 95% confidence level and assuming a one day
holding period. The value at risk on the investment portfolios was $2.2 million
as of December 31, 1999.

CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments,
short and long-term investments and trade and notes receivable. The Company
places its temporary cash investments and short and long-term investments in
investment grade instruments and limits the amount of investment with any one
financial institution. The credit risk associated with trade receivables is
minimal due to the large number of customers and their broad dispersion over
many different industries and geographic areas.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and the

Board of Directors of EMC Corporation:

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index on page 26 present fairly in all material respects, the
financial position of EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1999
and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, in
our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index
appearing under item 14(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and the financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of
these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    COMPANY

    EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries ("EMC" or the "Company") design,
manufacture, market and support a wide range of hardware and software and
provide services for the storage, management, protection and sharing of
electronic information. These integrated solutions enable organizations to
create an electronic information infrastructure or what EMC calls an
E-Infostructure. EMC is the leading supplier of those solutions, which are
comprised of enterprise storage systems, networks, software and services. Its
products are sold to customers utilizing a variety of the world's most popular
computing platforms for key applications, including electronic commerce, data
warehousing and transaction processing.

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. The Company treats gains/ losses on sales of subsidiary
stock of development stage companies as equity transactions.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31. On October 12, 1999, EMC
completed the acquisition of Data General Corporation ("Data General"), which
was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Prior to the acquisition, Data
General's fiscal year end was the last Saturday in September and its month end
was the last Saturday of the month. Data General's financial information has
been conformed to a calendar year end for each of the years presented. EMC's
consolidated financial statements include the results of Data General.

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1999
presentation.

    USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    The Company generally recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment
provided that no significant post-delivery obligations remain and collection of
the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. When significant post-delivery
obligations exist, revenue is deferred until such obligations are fulfilled. The
Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances at the
time of shipment based on its experience. Revenue from sales-type leases is
recognized at the net present value of expected future payments. Service revenue
is recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. In
transactions that include multiple products and/or services, the Company
allocates the sales value among each of the deliverables based on their relative
fair values.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    The local currency is the functional currency of the majority of the
Company's subsidiaries. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars
at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and income and expense
items are translated at average rates for the period, except for property, plant
and equipment which is translated at historical exchange rates. The Company's
subsidiaries in Ireland, Israel and Hong Kong are generally dependent on the
U.S. dollar and therefore, their functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
Consolidated foreign currency transaction results included in other
income/(expense), net were gains of $2,712 in 1999, $5,746 in 1998 and $2,959 in
1997.

    DERIVATIVES

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 is effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
adopted SFAS 133 on January 1, 1999. As a result of this adoption, all
derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the
fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income. The Company does not engage in currency speculation. The
Company may, from time to time, enter into derivative instruments to hedge
against known or forecasted market exposures.

    The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its net asset position
and a combination of forward and option contracts to hedge anticipated cash
flows. The gains or losses arising from forward contracts hedging the Company's
net asset position are recorded in other income or expense as offsets to the
gains or losses resulting from the underlying hedged items. Gains and losses
from contracts hedging cash flow exposures are recognized in the income
statement as appropriate in the same period in which the related underlying
hedged item is recognized.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase. These investments are
stated at amortized cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market. Total
cash equivalents were $598,684 and $565,420 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Cash equivalents consist primarily of commercial paper and money
market securities.

    INVESTMENTS

    The Company's investments are comprised primarily of debt securities which
are classified at purchase as either held-to-maturity or available for sale
during 1998 and as available for sale in 1999. Investments with remaining
maturities of less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified
as short-term investments. Investments with remaining maturities of more than
twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term
investments.

    INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market,
not in excess of net realizable value.

    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

    Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as
follows:


                                                           
Furniture and fixtures......................................  7 years
Equipment...................................................  3-10 years
Improvements................................................  5-25 years
Buildings...................................................  25-31 1/2 years


    When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated
depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts and the related gains or
losses are included in the statement of income.

    CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

    Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Software
development costs incurred subsequent to establishment of technological
feasibility through the general release of the software products are
capitalized. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a
working model. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over a
period of two to four years. Unamortized software development costs were
$123,936 and $96,013 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and are
included in intangible and other assets. Amortization expense was $60,278,
$48,017 and $40,064 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    INCOME TAXES

    Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their reported amounts using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse (see Note J). Tax credits
are generally recognized as reductions of income tax provisions in the year in
which the credits arise.

    The Company does not provide for U.S. income tax liability on undistributed
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. The earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries,
which reflect full provision for non-U.S. income taxes, are indefinitely
reinvested in non-U.S. operations or will be remitted substantially free of

                                       35

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

additional tax. Accordingly, no material provision has been made for taxes that
might be payable upon remittance of such non-U.S. earnings.

    EARNINGS PER SHARE

    The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") beginning with the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997. This Statement requires the presentation of basic and diluted
net income per share. Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common
equivalent shares consist of stock options and convertible debt. The Company has
restated all prior period per share data presented as required by SFAS 128.

    RETIREMENT/POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

    Net pension cost for the Company's domestic defined benefit pension plan is
funded as accrued, to the extent that current pension cost is deductible for
U.S. Federal tax purposes and to comply with the General Agreement on Tariff and
Trade Bureau (GATT) additional minimum funding requirements for the plan year
beginning October 1, 1995. Net pension cost for the Company's international
defined benefit pension plans are generally funded as accrued. The net
transition surplus or obligation for these international plans are amortized
over periods ranging from 15 to 20 years.

    Net post-retirement benefit costs for the Company's domestic post-retirement
benefits plan are generally funded as accrued, to the extent that current cost
is deductible for U.S. Federal tax purposes. The net transition obligation for
the plan is amortized over 18 years.

    ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), issued in 1995, defined a fair value
method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Under the
fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the
fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is
usually the vesting period. As provided for in SFAS 123, the Company elected to
apply Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. The
required disclosures under SFAS 123 are included in Note M.

    CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

    Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments,
short and long-term investments and trade and notes receivable. The Company
places its temporary cash investments and short and long-term investments in
investment grade instruments and limits the amount of investment with any one
financial institution. The credit risk associated with trade receivables is
minimal due to the large number of customers and their broad dispersion over
many different industries and geographic areas.

    Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") represented 5%, 16% and 17% of the Company's
total revenues in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company and HP agreed
to terminate their reseller contract effective as of June 30, 1999.

B.  ACQUISITIONS

    On October 12, 1999, EMC acquired Data General, a designer, manufacturer and
marketer of CLARiiON Fibre Channel storage systems and AViiON computer systems
servers for fast growing segments of the server market, in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. EMC issued an aggregate of
approximately 16 million shares of common stock, or 0.3125 shares of EMC common
stock for each share of outstanding Data General common stock, in the
acquisition.

    Separate company results for 1999 before the combination was consummated
were as follows:

    The Company acquired several companies during 1998, in transactions
accounted for using the purchase method, which are not significant to its
financial position or results of operations. Under the purchase method, the
results of operations of acquired companies are included prospectively from the
date of acquisition, and the acquisition cost is allocated to the acquirees'
assets and liabilities based upon their fair market values at the date of
acquisition.

    On December 31, 1999 and 1998 the net book value of goodwill associated with
all acquisitions was $66,915 and $102,610, respectively. Goodwill is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from five to ten years
and is included in intangible and other assets, net. Accumulated amortization
was $41,769 and $18,925 on December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

C.  RESTRUCTURING, MERGER AND OTHER CHARGES

    During fiscal year 1999, the Company recorded a total charge of $223.6
million related to restructuring, merger and other charges primarily related to
the acquisition of Data General. During 1998, the Company recorded charges
totaling $135.0 million related to a restructuring program and other charges.

    During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company approved and implemented a
restructuring program in connection with its acquisition of Data General. The
restructuring plan, which is expected to be completed by December 2000, provides
for the consolidation of the Company's operations and elimination of duplicative
facilities worldwide. Accordingly, during 1999, the Company recorded a charge of
approximately $170.6 million related to employee termination benefits, facility
closure costs, asset disposals and other exit costs which the Company has
recorded in operating expenses. The expected cash impact of the charge is
approximately $140.7 million of which $52.4 million was paid in 1999.

    The restructuring program includes an aggregate net reduction of the
workforce of approximately 1,100 employees approximately 59% of whom are or were
based in North America and 23% of whom are or were based in Europe. The employee
separations affect the majority of business functions and

job classes. Of the approximately 1,100 employees identified, approximately 500
were terminated in 1999.

    In 1999, the Company also recorded a charge for merger costs of $23.5
million for financial advisory services, legal, accounting and other direct
expenses related to the Data General acquisition which has been recorded in
operating expenses. In addition, the Company recorded a $14.1 million charge
related to asset impairments recorded in operating expenses and recorded a
charge of $15.4 million for capitalized software and inventory write-downs which
is included in cost of product sales.

    In 1998, the Company recorded a charge of $135.0 million related to a
restructuring program and certain asset write-downs resulting from the program.
The charge included approximately $82.4 million related to employee termination
benefits, asset write-downs and other exit costs which the Company has recorded
in operating expenses and approximately $52.6 million for capitalized software
and inventory write-downs which are included in cost of product sales. The total
cash impact of the restructuring charge is approximately $58.5 million of which
$24.4 million was paid in 1998 and $21.6 million was paid in 1999. As of
December 31, 1999, the remaining accruals of $15.7 million from the 1998
restructuring program are primarily related to excess vacant rental properties
in Europe.

    The 1998 restructuring program included an aggregate net reduction of the
workforce by approximately 480 employees, approximately 65% of whom were based
in North America and the remainder of whom were in Europe and Asia Pacific. The
employee separations affected the majority of business functions and job
classes. Of the 480 employees identified, approximately 400 were terminated
during 1998 and 80 were terminated in 1999.

    The amounts accrued and charged against the established provisions described
above were as follows:



                                                                    CURRENT      CURRENT

D.  DERIVATIVES

    The Company uses derivatives to hedge foreign currency cash flows on a
continuing basis for periods consistent with its net asset and forecasted
exposures. Since the Company is using foreign

                                       38

                                EMC CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

exchange derivative contracts to hedge foreign exchange exposures, the changes
in the value of the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in
the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the
derivatives is recognized in current earnings, which represented an immaterial
amount for fiscal year 1999. The ineffective portion of the derivatives is
primarily related to option premiums and to discounts or premiums on forward
contracts.

    The Company hedges its net asset position with forward exchange contracts.
Since these derivatives hedge existing net assets that are denominated in
foreign currencies, the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS
133. The changes in fair value from these contracts as well as the underlying
exposures are generally offsetting, and are recorded in other income/(expense)
on the income statement. These derivative contracts generally mature within six
months. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had $592,581 and $477,251,
respectively, of forward exchange contracts outstanding.

    The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge a
portion of its forecasted transactions. These derivatives are designated as cash
flow hedges, and changes in their fair value are carried in accumulated other
comprehensive income/(expense) until the underlying forecasted transaction
occurs. Once the underlying forecasted transaction is realized, the appropriate
gain or loss from the derivative designated as a hedge of the transaction is
reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/(expense) to the income
statement, in revenue and expense, as appropriate. In the event the underlying
forecasted transaction does not occur, the amount recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income/(expense) will be reclassified to the other
income/(expense) line of the income statement in the then-current period. The
Company's cash flow hedges generally mature within nine months or less. At
December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had $40,545 and $0, respectively, of
forward contracts outstanding. In addition, at December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Company had $55,000 and $10,000, respectively, of foreign currency options
outstanding.

    The Company recorded in revenue and expense approximately $1,814 in net
losses from cash flow hedges related to items forecasted for fiscal year 1999.
The amount that will be reclassified from other accumulated comprehensive
income/(expense) to earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of
approximately $1,212, net of tax.

    As permitted with the adoption of SFAS133, the Company also reclassified
$602,575 of held-to-maturity securities as "available for sale" in the first
quarter of 1999. This reclassification resulted in an immaterial adjustment
recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income/(expense) to reflect the
difference between the carrying cost and market value of these securities.

E.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    FAIR VALUE

    The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, current portion of long-term debt and
accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these
instruments.

    The carrying and estimated fair values of the Company's 3 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "3 1/4% Notes") at December 31, 1999 were
$460,399 and $4,440,375, respectively. The carrying and estimated fair values of
the Company's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2004 (the "6% Notes") at
December 31, 1999 were $212,750 and $277,277, respectively. The fair values of
the 3 1/4% Notes and the 6% Notes are based on the closing price of the Common
Stock as of December 31, 1999.

    Implicit interest rates range from approximately 7% to 14%.

    Actual cash collections may differ from amounts shown on the table due to
early customer buyouts, upgrades or refinancings.

    The Company may receive proceeds for its sales-type leases through
third-party financing arrangements with various financial institutions on a
nonrecourse basis, which may either be collateralized by a lien on the
equipment, which is returned to the Company at the end of the lease, or title to
the equipment may pass to the funding source at the time of financing. Residual
values recorded by the Company for equipment under leases at December 31, 1999
and 1998 were $3,215 and $21,878, respectively, and are included in intangible
and other assets.

    Net undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and
1998 approximated $1,384,035 and $984,946, respectively. Based on the Company's
policy of indefinite reinvestment in non-U.S. operations, it is not currently
practicable to determine the tax liability associated with the repatriation of
these earnings. The Company's manufacturing facility in Ireland incurs a 10% tax
rate on income from manufacturing operations until the year 2010. Income before
income taxes from foreign operations for 1999, 1998 and 1997 approximated
$449,775, $374,297 and $265,628, respectively.

    A reconciliation of the Company's income tax provision to the statutory
federal tax rate is as follows:

    The Company had federal and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of
$388 million and tax credit carry forwards of $20 million. The utilization of
these tax attributes is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), for U.S. tax purposes and similar provisions
under local country tax laws. Certain net operating losses will begin to expire
in the year 2000, while others have an unlimited carryforward period. As of
December 31, 1999, the valuation allowance primarily relates to foreign
operating losses which are subject to limitation. In conjunction with the
acquisition of Data General, the Company reviewed the net realizability of its
deferred tax assets and recorded a benefit of $65 million in 1999. The
realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets is considered more likely
than not.

K.  RETIREMENT PLANS AND RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS

    401(K) PLAN

    The Company has established a deferred compensation program for certain
employees which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code.

    At the end of each calendar quarter, the Company makes a contribution that
matches 100% of the employee's contribution up to 3% of the employee's quarterly
compensation. Additionally, provided that certain quarterly profit goals are
attained, the Company in succeeding quarters, provides an additional matching
contribution of 1% of the employee's quarterly compensation up to a maximum
quarterly matching contribution not to exceed 5% of compensation or $750 per
quarter. The Company's contribution amounted to approximately $12,729 in 1999,
$6,880 in 1998 and $4,990 in 1997, pursuant to this formula.

    DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS

    The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which was
assumed as part of the Data General acquisition, which covers substantially all
former Data General employees located in the U.S. The Company also has a
supplemental retirement benefit plan, which covers certain former Data General
employees located in the U.S. In addition, certain of the former Data General
foreign subsidiaries also have retirement plans covering substantially all of
their employees.

    Benefits under these plans are generally based on either career average or
final average salaries and creditable years of service as defined in the plans.
The annual cost for these plans is determined using the projected unit credit
actuarial cost method which includes significant actuarial assumptions and
estimates which are subject to change in the near term. Prior service cost is
amortized over the average remaining service period of employees expected to
receive benefits under the plan. Funds contributed to the plans are invested
primarily in common stock, mutual funds, bond funds and cash equivalent
securities.

    The Data General U.S. pension plan, U.S. supplemental retirement benefit
plan and foreign retirement plans (the "Pension Plans") are summarized in the
following tables.

    As of December 31, 1999, the U.S. Data General pension plan was frozen. In
1998, the terms of some severance benefits from the reduction in workforce
resulted in special termination benefits paid from the pension plan of $1,044
and resulted in a small curtailment loss.

    The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair
value of plan assets for the Pension Plans with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets was $8,130, $6,496 and $3,137, respectively, as of
December 31, 1999, and $264,040, $244,670 and $229,152, respectively as of
December 31, 1998.

    POST RETIREMENT MEDICAL AND LIFE INSURANCE PLAN

    The Company's post-retirement benefit plan, which was assumed in connection
with the acquisition of Data General, provides certain medical and life
insurance benefits for retired former Data General employees. With the exception
of certain participants who retired prior to 1986, the medical benefit plan
requires monthly contributions by retired participants in an amount equal to
insured equivalent costs less a fixed Company contribution which is dependent on
the participant's length of service and Medicare eligibility. Benefits are
continued to dependents of eligible retiree participants for 39 weeks

    PREFERRED STOCK

    The Company's Series Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one
or more series, with such terms as the Board of Directors may determine, without
further action by the stockholders of the Company.

    STOCK OPTION PLANS

    The Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the EMC Corporation 1993 and
1985 Stock Option Plans (the "1993 Plan" and the "1985 Plan," respectively).
These plans provide qualified incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options to key employees of the Company. A total of 80 million and 144 million
shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1993 Plan and
the 1985 Plan, respectively.

    Under the terms of each of the 1993 Plan and the 1985 Plan, the exercise
price of incentive stock options issued must be equal to at least the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In the event that
nonqualified stock options are granted under the 1993 Plan, the exercise price
may be less than the fair market value at the time of grant but not less than
par value which is $.01 per share. In the event that nonqualified stock options
are granted under the 1985 Plan, the exercise price may be less than the fair
market value at the time of grant, but in the case of employees not subject to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section 16"), not less than
par value which is $.01 per share, and in the case of employees subject to
Section 16, not less than 50% of the fair market value on the date of grant.
Since May 1995, no new incentive stock options have been available for grant
under the 1985 Plan.

    In 1999, options to purchase an aggregate of 261 thousand shares of Common
Stock at $.01 per share were granted to certain employees. Also in 1999, options
to purchase an aggregate of 145 thousand shares of Common Stock at $64.25 per
share were granted to certain employees, representing 73% of the per share fair
market value on the date of grant. In 1998, options to purchase an aggregate of
424 thousand shares of Common Stock at $.01 per share were granted to an
executive officer and certain other employees. Also in 1998, an executive
officer was granted options to purchase 250 thousand shares at $12.97 per share,
representing 50% of the per share fair market value on the date of grant. In
1997, options to purchase 1 million shares at $6.12 per share and 800 thousand
shares at $13.78 per share were granted to executive officers, representing 50%
and 90%, respectively, of the per share fair market value on the date of grant.
Discounts from fair market value have been recorded as deferred compensation and
are being amortized over the vesting periods of the options, which range from
eighteen months to five years.

    The EMC Corporation 1992 Stock Option Plan for Directors (the "Directors
Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors and stockholders. A total of 7.2
million shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance under the
Directors Plan. The exercise price for each option granted under the Directors
Plan will be at a price per share determined at the time the option is granted,
but not less than 50% of the per share fair market value of Common Stock on the
date of grant.

    In 1998, options to purchase 240 thousand shares of Common Stock at $10.56
per share were granted to three directors, representing 50% of the per share
fair market value on the date of grant. In 1997, options to purchase 320
thousand shares of Common Stock at $6.12 per share were granted to two
directors, representing 50% of the per share fair market value on the date of
grant. Discounts from fair market value have been recorded as deferred
compensation and are being amortized over the three-year vesting period of the
options.

    Generally, when shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock
options are sold within one year of exercise or within two years from the date
of grant, the Company derives a tax deduction measured by the amount that the
fair market value exceeds the option price at the date the options are
exercised. When nonqualified stock options are exercised, the Company derives a
tax deduction measured by the amount that the fair market value exceeds the
option price on the date the options are exercised.

    As of December 31, 1999, there were options to acquire an aggregate of
approximately 19.6 million shares of Common Stock exercisable under the 1993
Plan, the 1985 Plan and the Directors Plan, as well as under certain plans
assumed in connection with the acquisition of Data General. At December 31,
1999, there were an aggregate of approximately 24.1 million shares available for
issuance pursuant to future option grants under the 1993 Plan, the 1985 Plan and
the Directors Plan. Options generally become exercisable in equal annual
installments over a period of three to five years after the date of grant and
expire ten years after the date of grant.

    The Company has, in connection with the acquisition of various companies,
assumed the stock option plans of these companies. Details of the stock option
plans assumed in connection with the acquisition of Data General are set out
below. The Company does not intend to make future grants under any of such
plans.

    Data General had authorized the grant of either incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options to employees to purchase up to an aggregate of
7.5 million shares of Common Stock under certain stock option plans. For
incentive options, the purchase price is equal to the fair market value

                                       53

                                EMC CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

on the date of grant. For non-qualified options, the purchase price is
determined within limits as set forth in the plans. Options granted under the
plans generally are immediately exercisable and include restrictions against
disposition of the shares and a requirement, upon termination of employment, to
offer unvested shares for resale to the Company at their original purchase
price. Options may expire up to ten years after the date of grant.

    All former Data General employees were eligible to participate in the Data
General Corporation 1998 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Plan"). The 1998
Plan authorizes the grant of stock options to employees to purchase up to 781
thousand shares of Common Stock. The purchase price per share shall not be lower
than 25% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or
50% of the Company's book value per share of Common Stock as of the fiscal year
end preceding the date of grant. In 1999, 71 thousand shares were granted at an
average price of $17.25, representing 40% of the per share fair market value on
the date of grant. In 1998, 464 thousand shares were granted at an average price
of $52.22, representing 50% of the per share fair market value on the date of
grant. In 1997, 342 thousand shares were granted at an average price of $69.18,
representing 50% of the per share fair market value on the date of grant.

    The Data General Corporation 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
(the "1994 Plan") and the Data General Corporation 1998 Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Director's Plan") authorize the grant of options to
acquire shares of Common Stock to each non-employee director on the date of the
director's annual election(s) to the Board of Directors. Options to acquire
1,250, 1,250 and 2,188 shares of Common Stock were granted to each Data General
director in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. These options were granted at
fair market value on the date of grant.
