NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
specified. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring accruals.
Because of seasonal and other factors, results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
a. In May of 1995, the Company sold its defense business for cash of $862
million. The net results of the defense operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 have been reported separately in the Consolidated
Statement of Income as "income from discontinued operations."
The following is a summary of the results of operations of the Company's
defense business for the three months ended March 31, 1995 (in millions of
dollars):
Revenue $258.1
======
Income from operations, net
of taxes of $6.5 million $ 12.5

b. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the computation of primary
earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding
common shares. The computation for the three months ended March 31, 1995
includes additional shares assuming the exercise of stock options. Neither
period assumes conversion of the 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2000 and 2006, or the Series A Preferred Stock since such conversions
would have been antidilutive. The shares used in the computations are
as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
In the first quarter of 1996, the Company implemented a new business
structure announced in the fourth quarter of 1995. Under the new
structure, the Company operates as one company with three business units
- -- Information Services Group, Global Customer Services and Computer
Systems Group. This realignment, which is intended to improve
competitiveness and reduce costs, involves a major reengineering
of the Company's business operations.
In connection with the realignment, the Company recorded a pre-tax
restructuring charge of $717.6 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 to
cover work force reductions, consolidation of office facilities and
manufacturing capacity and product and program discontinuances. The
restructuring is proceeding on plan. As part of these actions, in the
first quarter of 1996, the Company announced the details of its plans to
reduce manufacturing space worldwide from approximately 1,000,000 square
feet to 250,000 square feet over the next 18 months. This reduction
reflects technology changes and the Company's increased use of common
platforms and commodity components in its computer systems.
As expected, the realignment had a disruptive effect on the Company's
results of operations in the first quarter of 1996. In addition, first
quarter revenue and margins reflect fewer shipments of large-scale
systems as the Company shifts to a new product cycle in the enterprise
server family.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company reported a loss
from continuing operations of $13.4 million, or $.25 per primary and
fully diluted common share, compared to income from continuing operations
of $32.1 million, or $.02 per primary and fully diluted common share, for
the three months ended March 31, 1995. Total net income in the year-ago
period was $44.6 million, or $.09 per primary and fully diluted share,
including $12.5 million, or $.07 per primary and fully diluted share,
from discontinued operations.

======== ======== ====== ====== ======
Total customer revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $1.42
billion, down 3% from $1.46 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 1995
principally due to disruptions caused by the transition in the Company's
business structure and the transition in the product portfolio.
Customer revenue from Information Services increased 14% in the quarter
due to higher systems integration and outsourcing revenue. In Global
Customer Services, customer revenue increased 9% from year-ago levels led
by strong growth in Network Enable Services and Desktop Services revenue.
Customer revenue in Computer Systems declined 19% as the Company moves into
the early stages of a new product cycle in its enterprise server family.
Total gross profit margin was 31% in the first quarter of 1996 compared to
37% in the year-ago period. The decline in gross profit margin in the
quarter was principally due to the continuing shift to lower-margin products
and services and the transition to the new product cycle in the Computer
Systems business. In addition, contract performance problems, principally
associated with large multi-year, fixed-price systems integration contracts,
have adversely affected margins.
Page 8
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
In the first quarter of 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses
were $322.0 million compared to $332.7 million in the first quarter of 1995,
and research and development expenses were $96.0 million compared to $95.5
million a year earlier.
As a result of the above, operating income was $20.9 million in the current
period compared to $113.2 million last year.
Other income in the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $9.3 million
compared to an expense of $14.3 million in the three months ended March 31,
1995. The change was due in large part to foreign exchange gains in the
current year, compared with losses a year ago, and higher interest income.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 was a loss of $20.3 million compared to income of $48.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
Estimated income taxes were a benefit of $6.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to a provision of $16.3 million in the year
ago period.
The net loss for the first quarter of 1996 was $13.4 million compared to net
income of $44.6 million for the first quarter of 1995. The year-ago period
included income of $12.5 million from discontinued operations.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123 requires
the recognition of, or disclosure of, compensation expenses for grants of
stock options or other equity instruments issued to employees based upon
their fair value. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company elected the
disclosure requirements, instead of recognition of compensation expense, and
therefore will continue to apply existing accounting rules. The Company will
comply with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 in its 1996 audited
financial statements. The adoption of these statements had no effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income,
or liquidity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Financial Condition
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, cash used for operating
activities was $326.2 million compared to cash usage of $181.1 million
during the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increase in cash used
was due in large part to reductions in payables and accruals, including
amounts related to restructuring.
Investments in properties and rental equipment during the first quarter of
1996 were $34.6 million compared to $52.7 million in the prior year.
In March 1996, the Company issued $724.0 million of debt as follows: (a)
$299.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2006, which are convertible into an aggregate of 43.5 million
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.875 per
share, and (b) $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Notes
due 2003.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company retired
$.3 million and $17.2 million of debt, respectively. The Company intends,
from time to time, to continue to redeem or repurchase its securities in the
open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon
availability, market conditions, and other factors.
At March 31, 1996, total debt was $2.6 billion, an increase of $721.2 million
from December 31, 1995, due to the issuances discussed above. Cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities at March 31, 1996 were $1.4 billion
compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 1995. During the three months ended
March 31, 1996, debt net of cash and marketable securities increased $432.0
million to $1.2 billion. As a percent of total capital, debt net of cash and
marketable securities was 40% at March 31, 1996 and 29% at December 31, 1995.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the credit ratings for the
Company's public debt were lowered. The credit ratings on the Company's
senior long-term debt and subordinated debt were lowered from BB- to B1 and
from B2 to B3, respectively, by Moody's Investors Service and from BB- to B+
and from B to B-, respectively, by Standard and Poor's Corporation.
The current $325 million revolving credit facility expires on May 31, 1996.
The Company has never borrowed under this facility. The Company is currently
in discussions with bankers regarding a successor facility.
The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an
effective registration statement covering $201 million of debt or equity
securities which enables the Company to be prepared for future market
opportunities.
Page 10
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Cont'd).
Dividends paid on preferred stock amounted to $30.2 million during the
first quarter of 1996 compared to $30.0 million in the year ago quarter.
Stockholders' equity decreased $51.2 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $1,809.0 million, principally reflecting the net loss of
$13.4 million, preferred dividends declared of $26.6 million and unfavorable
foreign currency translation of $12.1 million.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred
tax liabilities of $1,457 million. For the reasons cited below, management
determined that it is more likely than not that $958 million of such assets
will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $499
million. In assessing the likelihood of realization of this asset, the
Company considered various factors including its forecast of future taxable
income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to
realize deferred tax assets.
The principal methods used to assess the likelihood of realization were the
Company's forecast of future taxable income, which was adjusted by applying
probability factors to the achievement of this forecast, and tax planning
strategies. The combination of forecasted taxable income and tax planning
strategies are expected to be sufficient to realize the entire amount of net
deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.8 billion of future taxable income
(predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred tax assets.
The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted
taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax
assets. In recent years, the information management business has undergone
dramatic changes and there can be no assurances that in the future there
would not be increased competition or other factors that may result in a
decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, or technological
obsolescence. The Company will evaluate quarterly the realizability of its
net deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting
the amount of such allowance, if necessary.
