5 COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation SX. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Computer Associates International, Inc.s (the Registrant or the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. Cash Dividends: In May 1998, the Companys Board of Directors declared its regular, semi-annual cash dividend of $.04 per share. The dividend was paid on July 7, 1998 to stockholders of record on June 19, 1998. Statements of Cash Flows: For the six months ended September 30,1998 and 1997, interest payments were $29 million and $64 million respectively, and income taxes paid were $151 million and $212 million, respectively. Net Income per Share: The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period end, plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities, such as stock options.

6 COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Comprehensive Income: In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which was adopted by the Company in fiscal year 1999. SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption has no impact on the Companys net income or shareholders equity. Comprehensive Income includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on the Companys available-for-sale securities which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders equity. The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

Software Revenue Recognition: In October 1997, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2 Software Revenue Recognition, as amended in March 1998 by SOP 98-4. These SOPs provide guidance on applying generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. Based on the Companys interpretation of the requirements of the SOPs, application of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys revenue recognition policies. However, AcSEC is currently reviewing further modifications to the SOP with the objective of providing more definitive, detailed implementation guidelines. This guidance could lead to unanticipated changes in the Companys operational and revenue recognition practices including, but not limited to changes in the period over which revenue is recognized. Such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Companys reported revenue, increase administrative costs, or otherwise adversely modify existing operations. NOTE B - THE 1995 KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (1995 Plan), if the closing price of the Companys common stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeded $53.33 for 60 trading days within any twelve month period, Additional Grants (as defined in the 1995 Plan) of 13.5 million shares, plus 6.75 million shares from an Initial Grant (as defined in the 1995 Plan), or a total of 20.25 million shares, to three key executives would vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture. However, the 20.25 million shares would continue to be subject to significant limitations on transfer for up to seven years following vesting. On May 21, 1998, the closing price of the Companys common stock exceeded $53.33 for the sixtieth trading day within the twelve month period ending May 21, 1998. Subsequent to May 21, 1998, the Compensation Committee of the 7 COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Companys Board of Directors reviewed the performance objectives of the 1995 Plan and certified the vesting of an aggregate of 20.25 million shares to the three key executives. As a result, in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company recorded a one time charge of $1,071 million ($675 million after tax). The executives elected to have a portion of the vested shares withheld for tax purposes. NOTE C - SUBSEQUENT EVENT In October 1998, the Company announced that it had increased the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for repurchase under its July 1992 share repurchase program. The Companys Board of Directors approved the repurchase of an additional 36.875 million shares. Including previous authorizations, the total amount authorized for repurchase is 200 million shares, of which approximately 136 million have been repurchased through September 30, 1998. Shares repurchased will be used for general corporate purposes. 8 Item 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Statements in this Form 10-Q concerning the companys future prospects are forward looking statements under the federal securities laws. There can be no assurances that future results will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from forecasts and estimates. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed below in the section Results of Operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenue: Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased 8%, or $94 million, over the prior years comparable quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the client/server business which accounted for approximately 50% of the Companys overall revenue for the second quarter. The client/server revenue growth was led by Unicenter TNG (The Next Generation), a family of integrated business solutions for monitoring and administering systems management across multi-platform environments, which accounted for approximately 28% of total revenue for the second quarter. Total North American revenue for the second quarter grew 3% over the prior years second quarter. This resulted from lower mainframe software sales offset by continued growth in client/server product sales. In the current quarter, North American sales represented 64% of revenue compared to 67% of revenue one year ago. The impact of foreign currencies against the US dollar decreased revenue in the second quarter by approximately $13 million. In constant dollar terms, revenue for the second quarter would have increased by nearly $107 million, or 10%, over the prior years second quarter. Maintenance revenues remained essentially unchanged from last years comparable quarter. Additional maintenance revenue from prior year license arrangements was offset by the ongoing trend of site consolidations and expanding client/server revenues, which yield lower maintenance. Price changes did not have a material impact in this quarter or the prior years second quarter. On a year to date basis, total revenue increased 12% or $250 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the client/server business which accounted for 48% of the Companys overall revenue year to date. Year to date client/server revenue, led by Unicenter TNG, increased 30%, or $253 million, over the prior year. Unicenter TNG accounted for approximately 26% of total revenue year to date. Total North American revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1998 grew 13% over the prior years comparable period. On a year to date basis, North American sales represented 66% of revenue for both fiscal 1999 and fiscal 1998. On a year to date basis, international revenue increased by nearly $82 million, or 12%, over the prior year. In addition, the effect of foreign exchange rates on the US dollar against most currencies decreased revenue by $32 million year to date. Maintenance revenues remained essentially unchanged year to date. Price Changes did not have a material impact year to date in fiscal year 1999 or in the comparable period in fiscal year 1998. Costs and Expenses: Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the second quarter increased to 39% from 38% the prior year. Included in these expenses was a $14 million gain from the sale of two properties. Excluding the gain on the sale of these two properties, selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 40% for the September 1998 quarter. The increase was largely attributable to an overall increase in personnel expense. The Company continues its ongoing effort to 9 Item 2: (Continued) MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS expand its Global Professional Services division and worldwide sales organization. Marketing costs related to new product introductions including the Enterprise Edition and Workgroup Solutions also contributed to the increase. The Enterprise Edition products are the Companys state of the art mid-market solutions addressing security, network management, asset management, application development, information management, and E commerce. The Workgroup Editions provide the same solutions as the Enterprise Editions with a focus on smaller computing environments. Net research and development expenditures increased $13 million, or 14%, for the second quarter compared to last years second quarter. There was continued emphasis on adapting and enhancing products for the client/server environment, in particular Unicenter TNG, Jasmine, Opal, the Enterprise and Workgroup Solutions, as well as broadening of the Companys Internet/Intranet product offerings. Commissions and royalties as a percentage of revenue were 5% for the second quarter for both fiscal year 1999 and fiscal year 1998. Depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter decreased $6 million from the comparable quarter in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to scheduled reductions in the amortization associated with The ASK Group, Inc., Legent Corporation, and Cheyenne Software, Inc. acquisitions, only partially offset by smaller acquisitions in the current year. Net interest expense remained unchanged from last years comparable quarter. The additional interest expense related to the April 1998 issuance of $1.75 billion of unsecured senior notes, reduced by the repayment of $1.2 billion under the Companys credit facilities, was offset by the interest earned on the corresponding increase in cash and marketable securities. On a year to date basis, selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased to 42% from 40% the prior year. The current quarter $14 million gain on the sale of two properties did not have an impact on selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue. The increase was largely attributable to an overall increase in personnel expense as well as major promotional events including: CA World, the Companys major annual user conference; the bi annual sales kickoff, an assembly of the Companys sales force to inaugurate the new years sales plan; and increased marketing costs related to new product introductions including the Enterprise Edition and Workgroup Solutions. Net research and development expenditures increased $24 million, or 13%, year to date. Continued emphasis on adapting and enhancing products for the client/server environment as well as broadening of the Companys Internet/Intranet product offerings were largely responsible for the increase. Commissions and royalties as a percentage of revenue were 5% year to date for both fiscal year 1999 and fiscal year 1998. On a year to date basis, depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $17 million from the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to scheduled reductions in the amortization associated with The ASK Group, Inc., Legent Corporation, and Cheyenne Software, Inc. acquisitions. Net interest expense remained unchanged year to date from last years comparable period. Operating Margins: The pretax income of $470 million, which includes $14 million associated with property sales, for the second quarter is an increase of 8%, or $35 million, over the second quarter in the prior year. On a year to date basis, the pretax loss was $290 million, reflecting the onetime charge of $1,071 million associated with the vesting of 20.25 million shares under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The year to date net income, excluding the one time charge, would have been $488 million, compared to net income of $428 million in the prior year, an increase of $60 million, or 14%. 10 Item 2: (Continued) MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Companys consolidated effective tax rate for the September 1998 quarter and the prior years September quarter was 37.5%. On a year to date basis, the consolidated effective tax rate, including the charge, was 35.7% compared with 37.5% for the prior year. Excluding the above mentioned charge, the year to date consolidated effective tax rate remains unchanged at 37.5%. Operations: In fiscal years 1997 and 1996, the Company incurred charges for the write off of purchased research and development technology related to the Cheyenne and Legent acquisitions. In both valuations, the Income Approach was utilized. This approach focuses on the income producing capability of the asset and the present value of the net benefit to be received over the life of the property. The revenues generated are offset by the corresponding expenses including all operating, research and development, and income tax expenses. The Cheyenne products consist of network data storage, security and communications software across multiple standalone as well as heterogeneous computer environments and Legent is comprised of many systems management and database products. To date, the vast majority of the projects in the aggregate have not varied materially from original projections. Consistent with original projections, the Company expects a seven year asset life, however, more rapid technological change, market acceptance of competing technologies, and other internal and external factors may negatively effect the total net benefit obtained from the technology acquired. Risks and Uncertainties: The Companys products are designed to improve the productivity and efficiency of its clients information processing resources. Accordingly, in a recessionary environment, the Companys products are often a reasonable economic alternative to customers faced with the prospect of incurring expenditures to increase their existing information processing resources. However, a general or regional slowdown in world economies could adversely affect the Companys operations. The effects of the Asian economic turmoil on our multinational clients and its potentially adverse impact on our near term business is a concern. This, coupled with deferred software purchasing decisions as clients deal with their year 2000 projects, as well as mainframe hardware transition issues, may slow revenue and earnings growth over the next several quarters. The Company has traditionally reported lower profit margins in the first two quarters of each fiscal year than those experienced in the third and fourth quarters. As part of the annual budget process, management establishes higher discretionary expense levels in relation to projected revenue for the first half of the year. Historically, the Companys combined third and fourth quarter revenues have been greater than the first half of the year, as these two quarters coincide with clients calendar year budget periods and culmination of the Companys annual sales plan. These historically higher second half revenues have resulted in significantly higher profit margins since total expenses have not increased in proportion to revenue. However, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance. The Companys future operating results may be affected by a number of other factors, including, but not limited to: the adequacy of the Companys internal administrative systems to efficiently process transactions and store and retrieve data subsequent to the year 2000; the significant percentage of CAs quarterly sales recorded in the last few days of the quarter, making financial predictions especially difficult and raising a substantial risk of variance in actual results; the Companys increasing reliance on a single family of products for a material 11 Item 2: (Continued) MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS portion of its sales; market acceptance of competing technologies; the availability and cost of new solutions; delays in delivery of new products or features; uncertainty of customer acceptance; the ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel; the ability to update its business application products to conform to the new, common European currency known as the Euro; the Companys ability to successfully maintain or increase market share in its core business while expanding into other and new markets such as professional services; the strength of its distribution channels; the ability either internally or through third party service providers to support client implementation of the Companys products; the Companys ability to manage fixed and variable expense growth relative to revenue growth; the outcome of litigation to which the Company is a party; the Companys ability to effectively integrate acquired products and operations; the assimilation of business or technology acquisitions; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the volatility of the international marketplace, including the recent Asian and Latin American turmoil; and other risks described in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Within Europe, the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) will introduce a new currency, the Euro, on January 1, 1999, initially available for currency trading and noncash (banking) transactions. The existing local currencies will remain legal tender through January 1, 2002. The Company has conducted risk assessments and began implementing corrective actions to ensure preparedness for the introduction of the Euro. Because of the staggered introduction of the Euro regarding noncash and cash transactions, the Company has developed a plan to address its accounting and business systems first. Compliance will be achieved primarily through upgrading administrative systems. The Company does not expect to experience significant operational disruptions or incur costs which could materially affect the Companys liquidity or capital resources. Year 2000: The Company may experience future uncertainties regarding year 2000 compliance of its products. The Company has designed and tested the vast majority of its recent product offerings to be year 2000 compliant. However, there is currently a small minority of the product offerings that have not been updated to meet year 2000 compliance specifications. The Company continues to update and test its product offerings for year 2000 compliance. Such costs are included in net research and development expenses. The Company has publicly identified any products that will not be updated to be year 2000 compliant and has been encouraging clients using these products to migrate to compliant versions. It is possible that the Company may experience increased expense levels addressing migration issues for such customers. There can be no assurance that all of the Companys products will be year 2000 compliant prior to January 1, 2000 (except those the Company previously identified will not be year 2000 compliant) nor can there be assurances that the Companys currently compliant products do not contain undetected problems associated with year 2000 compliance. Such problems may result in litigation and/or increased expenses negatively affecting future operating results. The Company recognizes the significance of the year 2000 problem as it relates to our internal systems and understands that the impact extends beyond traditional hardware and software to automated facility systems and third parties. The Company has created and implemented an overall plan to make its internal financial and administrative systems year 2000 ready by June 1999. With regard to facility related systems (phone, voicemail, security systems, etc.), the Company internally conducted assessment audits and is currently sending questionnaires to vendors and service providers to confirm year 2000 readiness. The Company expects substantial completion of year 2000 readiness preparations by June 1999 and to continue comprehensive testing through calendar 1999. The total cost of preparing internal systems to be year 2000 compliant is not expected 12 Item 2: (Continued) MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS to be material to the Companys operations, liquidity, or capital resources. Total expenditures, excluding personnel costs of existing staff, related to internal systems year 2000 readiness is expected to be less than $20 million. Such expenses commenced in 1996 and are projected to continue through calendar 1999. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will not experience significant unanticipated negative performance and/or flaws in the technology used in its internal systems. The Company is in the process of completing its contingency plan for potential hardware and software failures. Liquidity and capital resources: During the second quarter, the Companys cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased by approximately $285 million from the June 30, 1998 balance. The decrease is primarily attributable to the expenditure of approximately $532 million for nearly 15 million shares of the Companys common stock under its open market repurchase programs offset by cash provided by operations and $38 million in proceeds from the sale of two properties. Cash provided by operations totaled $319 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. On a year to date basis, cash provided by operations totaled $231 million, including a $318 million withholding tax payment made in lieu of shares issued to certain executives under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Year to date cash generated from operations, excluding this withholding tax payment, totaled $549 million, an increase of 30% from the prior year. This increase is primarily attributable to higher net income (excluding the 1995 Stock Plan charge) and lower income tax payments resulting from the 1995 Stock Plan charge. On September 30, 1998, total debt outstanding consisted primarily of $1.75 billion of registered unsecured Senior Notes issued April 24, 1998, $320 million of unsecured Senior Notes issued April 1, 1996 and drawings on the credit facility funding the construction of the European Headquarters totaling $48 million. At September 30, 1998, the Company had no drawings outstanding under its total of $2.6 billion credit facilities. At September 30, 1998, the cumulative number of shares purchased under the Companys various open market Common Stock repurchase programs was approximately 136 million shares. The remaining number of shares available for repurchase under these programs at September 30, 1998 was approximately 27 million. The number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program was increased in October 1998. See Note C for additional information. The Company is proceeding with construction of its European Headquarters in the United Kingdom and its various expansion and renovation projects at its World Headquarters in Islandia, New York. These projects will be completed over the next 12 months and will result in total cashflow obligations of $225 million. In addition, various capital resource requirements as of September 30, 1998 consisted of lease obligations for office space, computer equipment, mortgage and loan obligations and amounts due as a result of product and company acquisitions. The Company anticipates that existing cash, cash equivalents, short term marketable securities, the availability of borrowings under committed and uncommitted credit lines, as well as cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet ongoing cash requirements. 13 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1: Legal Proceedings The Company and certain of its officers are defendants in a number of shareholder class action lawsuits alleging that a class consisting of all persons who purchased the Companys stock during the period January 20, 1998 until July 22, 1998 were harmed by misleading statements, representations, and omissions regarding the Companys future financial performance. These cases have been consolidated into a single action (the Shareholder Action) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (NY Federal Court). In addition, three derivative actions alleging similar facts were brought in the NY Federal Court. An additional derivative action, alleging that the Company issued 14.25 million more shares than were authorized under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the 1995 Plan), was also filed in the NY Federal Court. In all but one of these derivative actions, all of the Companys directors were named as defendants. All of these derivative actions have been consolidated into a single action (the Derivative Action) in the NY Federal Court. The plaintiffs are expected to file an amended complaint in both the Shareholder Action and the Derivative Action. Lastly, a derivative action was filed in the Chancery Court in Delaware (the Delaware Action) alleging that 9.5 million more shares were issued than were authorized under the 1995 Plan. The Company and its directors have filed a motion to dismiss the Delaware Action and the plaintiff has moved for summary judgment. Although the ultimate outcome and liability, if any, cannot be determined, management, after consultation and review with counsel, believes that the facts in each of the actions do not support the plaintiffs claims and that the Company and its officers and directors have meritorious defenses.
