(a) In connection with Continuum's December 1995 acquisition of SOCS Holding,
    a Paris-based software and services company, $26.0 million of the purchase
    price was assigned to purchased research and development and was expensed.
(b) During March 1996, Continuum acquired Hogan Systems, Inc. ("Hogan"), a
    software and consulting company serving financial institutions worldwide.
    As previously reported on Continuum's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
    fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, Continuum charged $50.1 million ($35.7
    million after tax benefits) to operations as restructuring costs in
    connection with the Hogan acquisition and the restructuring of its
    expanded business.
(c) Earnings per common share are based on the sum of the historical average
    common shares outstanding (including common stock equivalent shares), as
    reported by CSC, and the historical average common shares outstanding for
    Continuum (adjusted to reflect common stock equivalents) converted to CSC
    shares at the exchange ratio of 0.79.
