5.  EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

    On February 7, 2001, EMC distributed to its stockholders of record as of the
close of business on January 24, 2001, all of its shares of McDATA Corporation
Class A common stock. The distribution was effected by the means of a pro rata
dividend of approximately .0368069 of a share of McDATA Class A common stock for
each share of EMC common stock. In lieu of fractional shares of McDATA Class A
common stock, each stockholder received a cash payment. The distribution, which
totaled $376,133, has been accounted for as a tax-free dividend to EMC
stockholders and charged to retained earnings based on the book value as of the
date of the distribution. As a result of the distribution, EMC no longer has any
equity ownership interest in McDATA.

6.  LITIGATION

    EMC 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 EMC's business, results of
operations or financial condition.

7.  DERIVATIVES

    EMC uses derivatives to hedge foreign currency cash flows on a continuing
basis consistent with its net asset and forecasted revenue and expense
exposures. Since EMC is using foreign 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 immaterial amounts for all periods presented. The
ineffective portion of the derivatives relates to forecasted transactions that
did not occur, option premiums and discounts or premiums on forward contracts.
EMC's derivative contracts generally mature within twelve months.

    EMC 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
twelve months.

    EMC 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/(loss) 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/(loss) 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/(loss) will be reclassified to the other income/(expense)
line of the income statement in the then-current period.

    EMC recorded in revenues and expenses, $22,794 in net gains from cash flow
hedges related to items forecasted for the first quarter of 2001. The amount
that will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) to
earnings over the next twelve months is a gain of $9,867, net of tax.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations should be read in conjunction with "Factors That May Affect Future
Results" set forth on page 14 and in EMC's other filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission.

ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ARE IN MILLIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--FIRST QUARTER OF 2001 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF 2000

    REVENUES

    Total revenues for the first quarter of 2001 were $2,344.8, compared to
$1,822.6 for the first quarter of 2000, representing an increase of $522.2, or
29%.

    Information storage systems revenues were $1,564.3 in the first quarter of
2001, compared to $1,267.2 in the first quarter of 2000, representing an
increase of $297.1, or 23%. The increase was primarily due to increased sales
volume resulting from the continued strong demand for EMC's Symmetrix and
CLARiiON series of products and the successful introduction of new products
within those existing product lines.

    Information storage software revenues were $467.5 in the first quarter of
2001, compared to $270.0 in the first quarter of 2000, representing an increase
of $197.5, or 73%. The increase was primarily due to increased licenses of
information storage software on both newly shipped and already installed systems
and the successful introduction of new and enhanced software products.

    Information storage services revenues were $232.0 in the first quarter of
2001, compared to $116.4 in the first quarter of 2000, representing an increase
of $115.6, or 99%. The increase was primarily related to increased volume from
professional services engagements and increased maintenance revenues on
information storage systems and information storage software products.

    Total information storage revenues were $2,263.8 in the first quarter of
2001, compared to $1,653.6 in the first quarter of 2000, representing an
increase of $610.2, or 37%. While EMC anticipates revenues will continue to grow
for the remainder of 2001, as a result of slower economic growth, both in the
United States and internationally, EMC believes that its revenue growth rate
will be lower than that experienced in the first quarter of 2001.

    Other businesses revenues were $81.0 in the first quarter of 2001, compared
to $169.0 in the first quarter of 2000, representing a decrease of $88.0, or
52%. Other businesses revenues consist of revenues from AViiON server products
and related services. The decrease in other businesses revenues was due to
refocusing efforts on more profitable lines of business within the storage
segments. EMC anticipates further declines in revenues from AViiON server
products and related services throughout 2001.

    Revenues on sales into North American markets were $1,414.7 in the first
quarter of 2001, compared to $1,151.1 in the first quarter of 2000, representing
an increase of $263.6, or 23%. The revenue growth reflects continued strong
demand for EMC products and services.

    Revenues on sales into Europe, the Middle East and Africa were $596.7 in the
first quarter of 2001, compared to $494.0 in the first quarter of 2000,
representing an increase of $102.7, or 21%. Revenues on sales into the Asia
Pacific markets were $279.2 in the first quarter of 2001, compared to $139.0 in
the first quarter of 2000, representing an increase of $140.2, or 101%. Revenues
on sales into the Latin America markets were $54.2 in the first quarter of 2001,
compared to $38.5 in the first quarter of 2000, representing an increase of
$15.7, or 41%.

    The increases in international sales were a result of EMC's efforts to
expand its sales infrastructure throughout the world to meet increasing demand
for information storage. International

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

revenues accounted for 40% of total revenues during the first quarter of 2001,
compared to 37% in the first quarter of 2000. EMC anticipates that international
revenues will continue to account for an increasing percentage of its total
sales.

    GROSS MARGINS

    Overall gross margin dollars increased to $1,292.5 in the first quarter of
2001 from $1,031.5 in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of $261.0, or 25%.
The increase was attributable to an increase in total revenues.

    Overall gross margin percentage decreased to 55.1% in the first quarter of
2001, compared to 56.6% in the first quarter of 2000. Information storage
products' gross margin decreased to 57.8% in the first quarter of 2001, compared
to 61.2% in the first quarter of 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable
to a reduction in sales to Internet-related companies, which generally included
large systems with high software content which positively impacted gross margins
in the first quarter of 2000, EMC's continued efforts to reduce customer cost to
purchase EMC information storage products, and lower absorption of overhead
costs. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in information storage
software revenues, which has a higher gross margin than information storage
systems. Information storage software revenues, as a percentage of total
revenues, increased to 20% in the first quarter of 2001 from 15% in the first
quarter of 2000.

    The gross margin for information storage services increased to 39.4% in the
first quarter of 2001, compared to 28.5% in the first quarter of 2000. The
improvement in the gross margin percentage was attributable to greater
productivity of EMC field personnel in EMC's Global Services organization and
efforts to refocus business on the most profitable services. The gross margin
for other businesses remained relatively constant at 33.5% in the first quarter
of 2001, compared to 33.8% in the first quarter of 2000.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $224.0 and $161.8 in the
first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively, representing an increase of
$62.2, or 38%. R&D expenses were 9.6% and 8.9% of revenues in the first quarters
of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in R&D spending from 2000 to 2001
reflects EMC's ongoing research and development efforts in a variety of areas,
including networked information storage products, enhancements to the Symmetrix
family of products, new enterprise storage software products and fibre channel
connectivity products.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

    Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $593.0 and $448.1
in the first quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase of $144.9, or
32%. SG&A expenses were 25.3% and 24.6% of revenues in the first quarters of
2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase in spending included increases in
salaries due to additional personnel, travel expenses and marketing costs
associated with efforts to expand sales and build an infrastructure to support
an increased revenue base.

    INVESTMENT INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE

    Investment income increased to $71.6 in the first quarter of 2001 from $40.6
in the first quarter of 2000. Investment income increased in the first quarter
of 2001 primarily due to higher cash and investment balances, which were derived
from operations and realized gains on investments.

    Interest expense decreased to $3.3 in the first quarter of 2001 from $6.9 in
the first quarter of 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the conversion of
EMC's 3 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2002 in March 2000 and EMC's 6%
convertible subordinated notes due 2004 in May 2000.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    The provision for income taxes was $147.5 and $122.8 in the first quarters
of 2001 and 2000, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 27.0%
for each period.

    FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments were $4,649.6
and $4,745.3 at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, representing
a decrease of $95.7. Included in the first quarter of 2001 was a reduction in
cash and cash equivalents and short and long-term investments of $388.1
resulting from the distribution of EMC's interest in McDATA Corporation.

    Cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2001 was
$511.3, compared to $536.7 in the first quarter of 2000. The reduction was due
to a decrease in working capital partially offset by an increase in net income.

    Cash used for investing activities was $425.6 in the first quarter of 2001,
compared to $267.0 in the first quarter of 2000. The increase was principally
due to purchases of short and long-term securities and an increase in property,
plant and equipment.

    Cash used for financing activities was $95.6 in the first quarter of 2001,
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $64.0 in the first quarter
of 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to the distribution of EMC's
interest in McDATA and a decrease in proceeds from stock option exercises.

    EMC has available for use a credit line of $50.0 and may elect to borrow at
any time. Based on its current operating and capital expenditure forecasts, EMC
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 throughout 2001.

    FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
