         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  of
Electronic Data Systems  Corporation ("EDS" or the "Company") have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,  which are
of a normal  recurring nature and necessary for a fair  presentation,  have been
included.  The results for interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of
results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated  financial  statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to the  1998  unaudited  condensed
consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.


Note 2.  Earnings per Share

The  weighted-average  number of shares  outstanding  used to compute  basic and
diluted earnings per share are as follows (in millions):

                                                     1999             1998
                                                     ----             ----
          For the three months ended June 30:
               Basic earnings per share             492.4            491.9
               Diluted earnings per share           504.1            494.1

               Basic earnings per share             492.3            491.7
               Diluted earnings per share           503.0            495.3

Securities  which were  outstanding  but were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per share because their effect was antidilutive include options
to purchase 867,412 shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, and
11,631,409  shares and  5,632,017  shares,  respectively,  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, and restricted  stock units of 1,035,336  shares and

Note 4.  Restructuring Activities and Other Charges

In the first quarter of 1999,  the Company began implementation of an initiative
to reduce its costs, streamline its organizational  structure,  and exit certain
operating  activities.  As a result of this  initiative,  the  Company  recorded
restructuring  charges and related asset  writedowns  totaling $379.8 million in
the quarter  ended March 31, 1999.  This  initiative  involves  the  involuntary
termination of approximately  5,200 individuals  employed throughout the Company
in managerial,  professional,  clerical, consulting and technical positions, the
exit of certain business activities and the consolidation of facilities, and the
writedown of certain assets to net realizable  value.  Charges  associated  with
this action include $285.0 million  relating to severance costs  associated with
involuntary terminations, $52.0 million relating to business exit and facilities
consolidation  costs,  and asset  writedowns of $42.8  million.  The accrual for
business exit  activities and  consolidation  of operations  includes  estimated
costs of $14.1 million to terminate a software license agreement,  $11.9 million
to  terminate  certain  leases,  $13.6  million to  terminate  certain  customer
contracts,  and $12.4 million for other costs.  These costs are associated  with
the exit of several lines of business,  primarily  within systems and technology
services.  Asset writedowns  related to the restructuring  activities consist of
$23.7 million to write-off  software,  goodwill,  and other  intangibles,  $17.4
million for  computer-related  equipment,  and other writedowns of $1.7 million.
Such  asset  writedowns,  which  predominantly  related to  businesses  that the
Company has decided to exit in the consulting,  business process management, and
systems and technology lines of business, were primarily determined based on the
present value of anticipated future cash flows.

As of June 30, 1999,  approximately  3,850  employees  have left the Company and
termination  benefits of $163.3  million have been  charged to the  accrual.  In
addition,  approximately  $1.2 million has been paid in connection with the exit
activities described above. The Company expects that cash expenditures  relating
to this charge will be incurred primarily in the remainder of 1999.

As of June 30, 1999,  restructuring activities in 1996 and 1997 have resulted in
approximately 4,750 employees  involuntarily  terminated and approximately 1,750
employees  accepting early retirement offers. The restructuring  activities have
resulted in cash  expenditures  of $275.5  million  since the second  quarter of
1996. The restructuring  actions  contemplated under the 1996 and 1997 plans are
essentially complete as of June 30, 1999. The remaining restructuring reserve of
$16.5 million is primarily comprised of severance-related payments to terminated
employees,  lease  payments  for  exited  facilities,  and  accruals  for  other
restructuring activities.

The following table depicts  restructuring  accrual  activity for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 (in millions):

              Balance at December 31, 1998                       $ 33.8
              Accrual for employee severance                      285.0
              Accrual for business exit activities and
                   consolidation of operations                     52.0
              Payments                                           (172.5)
                                                                  -----
              Balance at June 30, 1999                           $198.4
                                                                  =====


Note 5.  Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was $197.0
million and $86.6 million, respectively.  Comprehensive income for the three and
six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  was  $215.4  million  and  $441.5  million,
respectively. The primary difference between comprehensive income and net income
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was related to foreign currency
translation  adjustments.  The primary differences between  comprehensive income
and net income for the three and six months  ended June 30, 1998 were related to
foreign  currency  translation  adjustments and net unrealized  holding gains on
certain of the Company's investments.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,  the results of  operations of
Systemhouse  from  the  date  of  acquisition  (see  Note  7  "Purchase  of  MCI
Systemhouse")  are  included  in  "systems  and  technology   services"  pending
potential  allocation to other applicable service lines. At June 30, 1999, total
assets for  "systems and  technology  services",  including  the total assets of
Systemhouse,  were $7.0 billion.  At June 30,  1999,  total assets for "business
process management", "management consulting", and "all other" were $1.8 billion,
$0.9 billion, and $3.1 billion, respectively.

Note 7.  Purchase of MCI Systemhouse

On April 22, 1999, the Company  acquired MCI WorldCom's  information  technology
services unit, MCI Systemhouse  ("Systemhouse"),  for $1.65 billion,  subject to
final  adjustments,  in a transaction  accounted  for as a purchase.  The excess
purchase  price over the fair values of net tangible  assets  acquired,  pending
final determination of certain acquired balances,  was $1.4 billion and is being
amortized to expense over periods ranging from 5 to 25 years.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include the operations of
Systemhouse since the date of acquisition.  The following table is prepared on a
pro forma basis as though  Systemhouse  had been acquired as of January 1, 1998,
after  including the estimated  impact of adjustments  such as  amortization  of
goodwill and other intangible assets,  interest expense,  elimination of certain
MCI WorldCom  intercompany charges and related tax effects (in millions,  except
per share amounts):

ITEM 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     Electronic Data Systems  Corporation is a professional  services firm which
offers its clients a portfolio of related  services  worldwide  within the broad
categories of systems and  technology  services,  business  process  management,
management consulting, and electronic business.  Services include the management
of computers,  networks, information systems, information processing facilities,
business operations,  and related personnel.  In the second quarter of 1999, EDS
commenced the  formation of  E.Solutions,  a unit which will combine  electronic
business operations and capabilities from across EDS.

     This  discussion  refers to  Electronic  Data Systems  Corporation  and its
consolidated  subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the discussion
incorporated by reference in our 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

       The statements in this discussion which are not historical statements are
"forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning  of the  Private  Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  These  forward-looking   statements  include
statements regarding Year 2000 exposure, total contract values for new business,
future  revenues  and  gross  margins,  and  other   forward-looking   financial
information.  In  addition,  we have made in the past and may make in the future
other written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements regarding
future operating performance,  the Company's views regarding market earnings per
share expectations,  short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth, the value
of new contract signings,  future cost savings and industry growth rates and our
performance relative thereto. Any forward-looking statement may rely on a number
of  assumptions  concerning  future  events  and  be  subject  to  a  number  of
uncertainties  and other  factors,  many of which are outside our control,  that
could cause actual  results to differ  materially  from such  statements.  These
include,  but are not  limited to:  competition  in the  industries  in which we
conduct  business  and the  impact of  competition  on  pricing,  revenues,  and
margins; the financial performance of current and future client contracts;  with
respect to client  contracts  accounted  for under the  percentage-of-completion
method of accounting,  the  performance of such contracts in accordance with our
cost estimates;  our ability to improve  productivity and achieve synergies



                                       9
<PAGE>


from  acquired  businesses;  the  degree  to which  third  parties  continue  to
outsource information technology and business processes;  the cost of attracting
and retaining highly skilled personnel; and, with respect to Year 2000 exposure,
the successful  remediation of our internal  systems and the  interpretation  of
information technology contracts with clients. We are not obligated to update or
revise any  forward-looking  statements  whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise.

New Accounting Standards

     In  June  1999,  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  137,
Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of the
Effective  Date of FASB  Statement  No. 133 was issued.  Statement  of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activities   establishes  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  derivative
instruments,   including  certain  derivative   instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts, and for hedging activities.  The provisions of this statement are now
effective for financial  statements  for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15,
2000,  although early adoption is allowed.  We have not determined the financial
impact of adopting this  statement  nor whether we will adopt the  provisions of
this statement prior to its effective date.

Year 2000

      For EDS,  the Year 2000, or Y2K,  issue  encompasses  the cost required to
make our  internal  systems and,  where we are  obligated to do so, our clients'
systems Y2K compliant, as well as a revenue opportunity.

     Status of  Remediation.  For internal and external reporting  purposes,  we
have  divided  the Y2K  remediation  process  into the  following  four  stages:
assessment and planning; renovation; testing; and implementation.

     As of June 30, 1999, we had identified 33 and 32 corporate and unit mission
critical  projects,  respectively,  and had  completed  the planned  assessment,
renovation, testing and implementation of all of such projects.

     We have also  identified  over 450  projects,  on both a corporate and unit
basis, which we deem to be non-mission  critical.  These projects include non-IT
systems such as those which may be used in the operation of elevators, machinery
and equipment and HVAC,  lighting and building security  systems,  as well as IT
systems the general  function of which is to enhance  efficiency or productivity
but the  failure of which  would not  materially  impact our  business.  We have
determined that many of the  non-mission  critical  projects  identified to date
will not be remediated for Y2K compliance for one or more reasons, including the
retirement of the system, redundancy with other systems, the ability to leverage
common  systems and because the expense of  remediation  may be greater than the
benefits  obtained  from  the  system.  Of  the  non-mission  critical  projects
identified for  remediation at June 30, 1999,  approximately  71% and 52% of the
corporate  and  unit  projects,  respectively,  had  completed  the  assessment,
renovation,  testing and implementation  stages as of such date. The remediation
process for all  non-mission  critical  projects  identified for  remediation is
scheduled to be substantially completed by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

     The foregoing analysis of the remediation status of our internal systems as
of June 30, 1999 does not reflect the  remediation  of the  internal  systems of
Systemhouse,  which  was  acquired  by EDS on April  22,  1999.  We  expect  the
remediation  of  Systemhouse's  mission  critical  projects to be  completed  by
October 31, 1999.

     Third Party  Compliance.  Our  business is  substantially  dependent on the
ability to transmit our data and the data of our clients and their  customers on
a worldwide basis through data, voice and video networks. These networks include
EDSNET(R), our proprietary network which integrates multiple third party network
owners with EDS  controlled  and managed  components,  as well as the "extended"
networks


                                       10
<PAGE>

(i.e., networks outside of EDSNET(R)) of third party international, national and
local  telecommunications  providers  which are used to transmit  data by EDS as
well as thousands  of other  organizations.  As  previously  disclosed,  we have
agreed to sell EDSNET(R) and certain  related  network assets to MCI WorldCom in
connection with the outsourcing of our network to MCI WorldCom.

     Although the Y2K  remediation  of EDSNET(R),  which is a corporate  mission
critical  project,  has been completed,  there is a significant  likelihood that
non-EDS related Y2K problems will cause interruptions of the "extended" networks
utilized by EDS and other third parties.  The interruptions on these third party
networks  may  result  from the Y2K  related  failure  of some of these  non-EDS
networks,  as well as the increased volume on the remaining  networks due to the
rejection of data transmitted by third parties containing Y2K related errors. We
have prepared  contingency plans for such potential network failures.  Personnel
at all relevant  data  centers and client  locations  will  closely  monitor the
"traffic"  on networks we utilize and will be prepared to shut down  segments of
networks and use alternative networks where necessary and possible. In addition,
we have put in place  contingency plans for all other corporate and unit mission
critical systems, which plans will be reviewed and revised as necessary.

     From  September 1, 1999 through March 31, 2000, we will operate  Millennium
Management Centers (MMCs) globally to facilitate the collection and distribution
of  Y2K  information.  Acting  as  an  information  clearing  house  and  issues
management  center,  the  corporate  MMC located at our  headquarters  in Plano,
Texas, will coordinate the  prioritization  and/or escalation of enterprise-wide
issues,  collect and  disseminate  statistics and trending to auxiliary MMCs and
ensure timely  content for  consistent  communications  to internal and external
constituencies.

     As do most other  organizations,  we rely on the continued  performance  of
public  utilities for the operation of our business.  Due to the reliance of our
data  centers  around the world on a  continuous  source of electric  power,  we
already have in place at  substantially  all  EDS-owned  data centers  extensive
contingency  plans in the event of the  disruption  of electric  service.  These
contingency  plans include the availability of backup generators to supply power
for a period of time following the power  disruption and the ability to transfer
operations to an alternative  center.  Data centers operated at client locations
are dependent on the contingency plans put in place by those clients. We believe
that our existing  contingency  plans are adequate for any reasonably likely Y2K
related  disruption  of electric or other  utility  services to  EDS-owned  data
centers.  However,  a lengthy  disruption  in  utility  services  or lack of Y2K
readiness by financial  institutions,  governmental agencies and other providers
of general  infrastructure  could  materially  adversely  impact our  ability to
conduct normal business in the areas so affected.

     Estimated  Costs.  We  currently  estimate  that we will  incur a total  of
approximately  $95.0 million in costs related to the remediation of our internal
systems,  of which  approximately $15.0 million is attributable to the operation
of our Y2K Program Office. Of the approximately $80.0 million estimated cost for
remediation projects, approximately $57.1 million has been incurred through June
30, 1999 and substantially all of the remainder should be incurred by the end of
1999.  Included in this estimate are costs for the  accelerated  replacement  of
non-compliant  equipment  and software.  Approximately  $12.0 million of expense
related  to this  replacement  equipment  and  software  will be  recognized  as
depreciation,  amortization, or lease expense after January 1, 2000. Because our
hardware and software is generally  refreshed on an ongoing  basis in accordance
with normal business practices,  the substantial majority of the total estimated
remediation costs represents labor expense.  As of June 30, 1999,  approximately
$11.3 million had been incurred for the operation of the Y2K Program Office. The
majority of the  remaining  costs will be incurred and expensed  ratably  during
1999.  The  foregoing  estimates  do not include  costs for the  remediation  of
Systemhouse's  internal systems,  which are estimated at a total of $20 million,
of which approximately $10 million had been incurred as of June 30, 1999.

     Forward-Looking  Statements.  The forward-looking  statements  contained in
this Y2K  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the  applicable  risk
factors identified under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" above.

Results of Operations

     Revenues.  Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1999,  rose $429.6
million,  or 10.3%, over the corresponding  quarter in 1998 to $4.62 billion. On
May 28, 1999, Delphi Automotive  Systems  Corporation  ("Delphi"),  previously a
wholly owned subsidiary of GM, was spun off from GM. For comparative purposes in
the  following  discussion,  revenues  from  contracts  with  Delphi in both the
current and  historical  periods have been  classified  as revenues  from non-GM
clients.  Revenues from non-GM clients for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, rose
$442.7  million,  or 13.5%,  to $3.73  billion  from $3.29  billion for the same
period in 1998. The increase in non-GM  revenues was primarily  attributable  to
revenues of approximately $160.0 million for Systemhouse from the April 22, 1999
acquisition  date, and new contracts  signed in 1999 and 1998.  Revenues from GM
decreased 1.5%, to $886.1  million,  during the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared with $899.2 million for the corresponding period in 1998.

     Revenues  from non-GM  clients for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 rose
$796.1  million,   or  12.5%,  to  $7.16  billion  from  $6.37  billion  in  the
corresponding  period of 1998  primarily  due to the  reasons  discussed  above.
Revenues from GM for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $17.7 million,
or 1%, to $1.78 billion from $1.76 billion in the comparable  period in 1998. We
estimate  that  revenues  from GM for  calendar  year 1999 will be lower than in
1998.

     The following table displays the percentage of total revenue by segment:

     Revenues from non-GM  clients  comprised 81% and 79% of total  revenues for
the three  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and  1998,  and 80% and 78% for the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999 and 1998,  respectively.  We expect  this trend to
continue as revenues  from non-GM  clients  are  anticipated  to increase  while
revenues from GM are anticipated to decline.

     Costs  and   Expenses.   The   gross   margin   [(revenues   less  cost  of
revenues)/revenues]  remained  relatively constant at 17.6% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999,  compared with 17.5% for the corresponding  period in 1998.
The gross  margin  decreased  to 17.1% for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,
compared  to 17.8% in the  comparable  period in 1998,  due to a decrease in the
gross  margin  during  the first  quarter of 1999 when  compared  with the first
quarter in 1998.  This  decrease  reflected  a decrease  in the gross  margin on
revenues  generated by the Company's  management  consulting  subsidiary,  A. T.
Kearney,  the divestiture during the third quarter of 1998 of leasing operations
reflected in revenues during the first half of 1998, and a decrease in the gross
margin on the Company's GM business. These decreases in gross margin were offset
in the second quarter by the  implementation of initiatives  designed to improve
operating margins. See "Restructuring and Other Charges" below.



                                       12
<PAGE>

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses ("SG&A") as a percentage of
revenues  decreased to 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
10.5% in the corresponding period in 1998. This decrease is primarily due to the
implementation  during the first  quarter of 1999 of plans  designed  to improve
operating  margins.  Although we anticipate  these plans will continue to reduce
SG&A  expenses,  some of these savings are expected to be offset by  incremental
spending  for  marketing  and  advertising.  SG&A as a  percentage  of  revenues
decreased to 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with 10.5% in
the corresponding period in 1998 due to the reasons discussed above.

Restructuring and Other Charges

     In the first quarter of 1999, we began  implementation  of an initiative to
reduce our costs,  streamline  our  organizational  structure,  and exit certain
operating activities.  As a result of this initiative, we recorded restructuring
charges and related  asset  writedowns  totaling  $379.8  million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.  This initiative  involves the involuntary  termination of
approximately  5,200 individuals  employed throughout the Company in managerial,
professional,  clerical, consulting and technical positions, the exit of certain
business  activities and the  consolidation of facilities,  and the writedown of
certain  assets to net realizable  value.  Charges  associated  with this action
include $285.0 million  relating to severance costs  associated with involuntary
terminations,   $52.0  million   relating  to  business   exit  and   facilities
consolidation  costs,  and asset  writedowns of $42.8  million.  The accrual for
business exit  activities and  consolidation  of operations  includes  estimated
costs of $14.1 million to terminate a software license agreement,  $11.9 million
to  terminate  certain  leases,  $13.6  million to  terminate  certain  customer
contracts,  and $12.4 million for other costs.  These costs are associated  with
the exit of several lines of business,  primarily  within systems and technology
services.  Asset writedowns  related to the restructuring  activities consist of
$23.7 million to write-off  software,  goodwill,  and other  intangibles,  $17.4
million for  computer-related  equipment,  and other writedowns of $1.7 million.
Such asset writedowns,  which  predominantly  related to businesses that we have
decided to exit in the consulting,  business process management, and systems and
technology  lines of business,  were primarily  determined  based on the present
value of anticipated future cash flows.

     As of June  30,  1999,  approximately  3,850  employees  have  left EDS and
termination  benefits of $163.3  million have been  charged to the  accrual.  In
addition,  approximately  $1.2 million has been paid in connection with the exit
activities described above. The Company expects that cash expenditures  relating
to this charge will be incurred primarily in the remainder of 1999.

     As of June  30,  1999,  restructuring  activities  in 1996  and  1997  have
resulted  in  approximately   4,750  employees   involuntarily   terminated  and
approximately   1,750  employees   accepting  early   retirement   offers.   The
restructuring  activities  have resulted in cash  expenditures of $275.5 million
since the second quarter of 1996. The restructuring  actions  contemplated under
the 1996 and 1997  plans  are  essentially  complete  as of June 30,  1999.  The
remaining  restructuring  reserve of $16.5  million is  primarily  comprised  of
severance-related  payments to terminated  employees,  lease payments for exited
facilities, and accruals for other restructuring activities.

     The following  table  depicts  restructuring  accrual  activity for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 (in millions):

     During  July 1999,  we  announced  a  voluntary  early  retirement  program
available to employees meeting certain  eligibility  requirements.  This program
will  result in a charge in the third  quarter  of 1999,



                                       13
<PAGE>


with the amount of the  charge  dependant  upon  employee  participation.  As we
continue  to explore  opportunities  for  organizational  improvements  and cost
reductions,  we expect to take further  actions  that will result in  additional
restructuring and other charges in 1999.

     In the first quarter of 1998, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $42.5 million
for amounts allocated to acquired in-process research and development activities
associated with the acquisition of Intergraph  Corporation's  Mechanical CAD/CAM
business by our Unigraphics Solutions Inc. subsidiary.  In the second quarter of
1998,  we recorded  asset  writedowns  of $27.8  million  primarily  relating to
operating assets initially identified for sale in 1997.

     Other Income. Other income decreased $33.7 million in the second quarter of
1999 to $19.6 million,  compared with $53.3 million in the corresponding  period
in 1998.  Interest  expense and other, net increased $15.9 million in the second
quarter of 1999, to $19.6 million, from $3.7 million in the comparable period in
1998. Interest and other income increased $17.8 million in the second quarter of
1999, to $59.0 million from $41.2 million in the comparable  period in 1998, due
primarily to a pre-tax gain of $26.5 million  resulting from the sale of limited
partnership investments.  Interest expense remained relatively constant at $39.4
million  in the  second  quarter  of 1999  compared  with  $37.5  million in the
corresponding period of 1998.

     For the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  other  income  increased  $13.1
million to $93.4 million compared with $80.3 million in the comparable period in
1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999,  interest  expense and other,  net
increased   $62.7   million,   to  $93.4  million  from  $30.7  million  in  the
corresponding  period of 1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999,  interest
and other income increased $48.8 million,  to $154.6 million from $105.8 million
in the  corresponding  period  of  1998,  due  primarily  to  incremental  gains
resulting from the sale of our limited partnership portfolio. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999,  interest expense decreased $13.9 million, to $61.2 million
from $75.1 million in the corresponding period in 1998, due to a decreased level
of debt in the first quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1998.

     Also  included in other  income  during the three and six months ended June
30, 1998 was the  recognition of a non-taxable  gain of $49.6 million  resulting
from the sale of a minority interest in Unigraphics Solutions Inc., previously a
wholly owned subsidiary of EDS, in connection with an initial public offering.

     Income Taxes. The effective tax rate remained constant at 36% for the three
and six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  effective  tax rate was 30% and 33%,
respectively,  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, and was reduced
from historical  levels by the tax-free gain on the sale of stock by Unigraphics
Solutions Inc.
discussed above.

     Net Income.  For the  three-month  period ended June 30,  1999,  net income
increased  $18.7  million  to $240.6  million  compared  to net income of $221.9
million  during the  corresponding  period of the prior year. For the six months
ended June 30, 1999, net income  decreased $186.1 million to $220.0 million from
$406.1 million in the comparable period in 1998. For the three months ended June
30,  1999 basic and diluted  earnings  per share  increased  to $0.49 and $0.48,
respectively,  compared with $0.45 and $0.45, respectively, in the corresponding
period of 1998.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999,  basic and  diluted
earnings per share  decreased to $0.45 and $0.44,  respectively,  compared  with
$0.83 and $0.82, respectively, in the comparable period in 1998.

     During  the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1999,  we  recorded
non-operating  pre-tax gains of $26.5 million and $90.0  million,  respectively,
resulting  from  the  sale  of  limited  partnership  investments,  and  pre-tax
restructuring  charges of $379.8 million during the three months ended March 31,
1999.  Excluding these gains and charges,  net income for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 would have been $223.7 million, and basic and diluted earnings per
share  would  have been $0.45 and  $0.44,  respectively.  Net income for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 would have been $405.5 million, and basic and diluted



                                       14
<PAGE>


earnings per share would have been $0.82 and $0.80, respectively. During 1998 we
recorded a pre-tax  charge of $42.5  million for amounts  allocated  to acquired
in-process  research and development  during the first quarter, a pre-tax charge
of $27.8 million for asset writedowns during the second quarter,  and recognized
a non-taxable  gain of $49.6 million related to the sale of stock of Unigraphics
Solutions Inc. during the second quarter. Excluding these charges and gains, net
income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 would have been $190.1  million,
and both basic and diluted  earnings per share would have been $0.39. Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 would have been and $401.4  million,  and
both basic and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.82.

     Return on stockholders'  equity was 9.6% for the twelve-month  period ended
June 30, 1999,  compared to 17.5% for the comparable period ended June 30, 1998.
This  decrease  was due  primarily  to a  decrease  in net income for the twelve
months ended June 30, 1999 as a result of restructuring and other charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At June 30, 1999, we held cash and cash equivalents of $573.5 million,  had
working  capital of $1.78  billion,  and had a current  ratio of 1.4-to-1.  This
compares to cash and cash equivalents of $1.04 billion, $1.98 billion in working
capital, and a current ratio of 1.5-to-1 at December 31, 1998.

     Our  capitalization  at June  30,  1999,  consisted  of  $2.14  billion  in
long-term debt, less current portion, and $5.82 billion in stockholders' equity.
Total debt (which includes redeemable preferred stock of subsidiaries) was $2.38
billion at June 30, 1999,  compared with total debt of $1.41 billion at December
31, 1998. The total  debt-to-capital  ratio (which  includes  current portion of
long-term debt and redeemable  preferred  stock of subsidiaries as components of
debt and capital)  was 29.0% at June 30,  1999,  and 19.3% at December 31, 1998.
The ratio of  long-term  debt to capital was 28.6% at June 30, 1999 and 18.7% at
December  31,  1998.  At both June 30,  1999,  and  December  31,  1998,  we had
committed lines of credit of approximately $2.5 billion, all unused, which serve
as  a  backup  facility  for  commercial  paper  borrowings.   The  purchase  of
Systemhouse for $1.65 billion was financed  approximately  50% with cash and 50%
with commercial paper borrowings.

     Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased $173.2 million during
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $686.0  million from $859.2 million in the
comparable  period in the prior year.  This  decrease was  primarily  due to the
decrease in earnings  resulting from the restructuring  and other charges.  Cash
used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased
$1.16 billion to $1.73 billion,  from $566.0 million in the corresponding period
in the prior year,  primarily  due to  payments  related to the  acquisition  of
Systemhouse,   partially  offset  by  incremental  proceeds  from  the  sale  of
marketable  securities,  investments  and other assets.  Cash flows  provided by
financing  activities increased $1.16 billion to $641.5 million during the three
months ended June 30, 1999,  compared to a use of $520.9 million during the same
period of 1998,  due  primarily  to  proceeds  from long term debt to  partially
finance the acquisition of Systemhouse. For the six-month periods ended June 30,
1999 and  1998,  we paid cash  dividends  totaling  $147.5  million  and  $147.6
million, respectively.
