                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

Computer Associates International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Computer
Associates", "CA" or the "Company"), is filing the materials contained in this
Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2001 in
connection with the solicitation of proxies for electing the board of directors
of Computer Associates at the 2001 annual meeting of Computer Associates'
stockholders.

                                [Graphic omitted]


                     ANYTHING CAN BE BROKEN UP INTO PIECES.
                  WHETHER IT STILL HAS VALUE IS ANOTHER MATTER.


We believe there are two words to describe Sam Wyly's plan to break up Computer
Associates: bad idea. Our current structure is a deliberate and vital component
of our success. Why? Because our customers rely on us to provide customized,
integrated solutions that work across their entire enterprise, not disparate
products from separate companies. And our customers aren't the only ones that
benefit from our synergistic approach. We believe the cross-selling
opportunities and low-overhead costs deliver benefits to our shareholders as
well - CA's stock is up over 75% year to date*. That's how we've become one of
the world's leading technology companies. We are Computer Associates. One
company. With one vision. And one extremely bright future.

* Between 12/29/00 and 7/31/01, CA's stock price rose 77%



THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WAS DISTRIBUTED ON BEHALF OF CA TO REUTERS AND
NEWSDAY AFTER BUSINESS HOURS ON AUGUST 7, 2001:

"Mr. Wyly's questionable data have become a hallmark of this proxy fight.
This includes his suddenly-vanishing customer survey, his outrageous
projections about CA's stock price, typos in the proxy, and blatantly false
information in the ad that ran today -- all of which have misled
shareholders. It's time Mr. Wyly learned to check his facts."
