             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of Galileo International, Inc. have been prepared pursuant to the
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 
10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The information furnished herein
includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for
these interim periods.

     Effective July 30, 1997, Galileo International Partnership merged into a
wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of Galileo International, Inc.
(the "Merger").  Unless otherwise indicated, references to the "Company" mean,
at all times prior to the time of the Merger, Galileo International Partnership
and its consolidated subsidiaries and, at all times thereafter, Galileo
International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.  In connection with the
Merger, the Company effected an initial public offering of its common stock at
an initial public offering price of $24.50 per share resulting in net proceeds
to the Company, after exercise of the underwriters over-allotment, of $390.0
million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions (the "Offering").

     The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998.

     The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Required changes are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Stockholders' Equity.

     The Company's quarterly financial data should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1997, included in the Galileo International, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 1998.

 
NOTE 2 - NDC ACQUISITIONS
 
     During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company acquired three
distribution companies (the "NDC Acquisitions"); Apollo Travel Services
Partnership ("ATS"), Traviswiss AG ("Traviswiss") and Galileo Nederland BV
("Galileo Nederland"), at purchase prices of $700.0 million, $8.5 million and
$2.0 million, respectively.  In connection with the NDC 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Acquisitions, the Company also incurred expenses of approximately $4.2 million
which have been accounted for as part of the purchase prices.

     The Company accounted for the NDC Acquisitions using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the costs of the NDC Acquisitions were allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values.
Of the total ATS purchase price, $405.6 million and $19.3 million was attributed
to the customer list and assembled workforce, respectively, and such amounts are
being amortized over 17 years and 8 years, respectively. The excess of the cost
of the NDC Acquisitions over the fair value of the net assets acquired, $157.3
million, is being amortized over 25 years. The results of operations and cash
flows of the acquired NDCs have been consolidated with those of the Company from
the date of each acquisition.

     In connection with the acquisitions of Traviswiss and Galileo Nederland,
the Company terminated certain revenue sharing obligations in exchange for
agreements to pay SAirGroup and KLM, in four annual installments beginning on
the acquisition dates, a total of $22.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively.
The total intangible asset of $37.2 million is being amortized over 25 years.


NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share data for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 is
calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated as if the Company had additional common
stock outstanding from January 1, 1998 for all dilutive stock options, net of
assumed repurchased shares using the treasury stock method, causing a 263,435
share increase in the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          GALILEO INTERNATIONAL, INC.
      (FORMERLY GALILEO INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP THROUGH JULY 30, 1997)

SUMMARY

     Prior to the consummation of the July 1997 Offering, the Company conducted
its business through Galileo International Partnership. Immediately prior to the
consummation of the Offering, Galileo International Partnership was merged into
a wholly owned limited liability company subsidiary of Galileo International,
Inc. As a result of the Merger, (i) the Company became subject to U.S. federal
and state income taxes that were previously borne by the partners of Galileo
International Partnership, (ii) the Company recorded a $15.3 million
nonrecurring charge to income tax expense to reflect the establishment of
deferred tax assets and liabilities arising at the time of the Merger and (iii)
the Company's $200.0 million revolving credit facility was terminated and
replaced by a $200.0 million 364-day credit agreement and a $400.0 million five-
year credit agreement (collectively, the "Credit Agreements"). Upon the Merger,
the partnership interests of each airline partner were replaced with common
stock of the Company in the same proportion as that of their respective
partnership interests in Galileo International Partnership.


FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1997

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased $69.4 million, or 22.6%, to $377.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $307.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997. First quarter 1998 revenues include the impact of the NDC
Acquisitions whereas first quarter 1997 revenues represent Galileo International
Partnership revenues. The NDC Acquisitions resulted in $46.1 million of
additional revenues for the quarter. The remaining revenue growth resulted
principally from increased booking volumes and from booking fee price increases
that went into effect in March 1998 and March 1997.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased $29.4 million, or 12.2%,
to $270.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $241.3 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The NDC Acquisitions resulted in additional
operating expenses which were partially offset by lower commissions as the
Company no longer pays commissions, but instead incurs the direct costs of
distributing its products, in these markets.

     OTHER EXPENSES, NET.  Other expenses, net include interest expense net of
interest income, and foreign exchange gains or losses. Other expenses, net
increased $2.2 million, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. This increase was
primarily the result of higher interest expense arising from higher average debt

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
levels due to the NDC Acquisitions which occurred in the third quarter of 1997,
and lower interest income arising from lower cash and cash equivalents.

     INCOME TAXES.  No provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes was
recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as such liability was the
responsibility of the partners of Galileo International Partnership, rather than
of the Company. Income taxes for 1997 represents certain of the Company's non-
U.S. subsidiaries which are subject to income taxes. The Company's effective tax
rate in 1998 is approximately 40%.

     NET INCOME.  Net income was $62.3 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998.  Net income was $65.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Net
income in 1998 reflects the recognition of U.S. federal and state income taxes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $55.7 million and working capital totaled
$73.8 million at March 31, 1998.  At December 31, 1997, cash and cash
equivalents totaled $19.4 million and working capital totaled $22.9 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $36.3 million despite the repayment of
$30.0 million of indebtedness under the Credit Agreements and $6.3 million in
dividends to stockholders, due principally to strong operating results.

     Cash flow used in investing activities principally relates to purchases of
mainframe data processing and network equipment and purchases of computer
equipment provided to the Company's travel agency subscribers.  Capital
expenditures, excluding the capitalization of internally developed software,
were $19.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $11.7
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

     Cash flow used in financing activities includes repayments of $30.0 under
the Credit Agreements and $6.3 million in dividends paid to stockholders. The
Company paid a $.06 per share cash dividend on February 20, 1998 to stockholders
of record as of February 6, 1998.

     The Company expects that future cash requirements will principally be for
capital expenditures, repayments of indebtedness, acquisitions of additional
NDCs and other potential acquisitions that are aligned with the Company's
strategic direction.  The Company believes that cash generated by operating
activities will be sufficient to fund its future cash requirements, except that
significant acquisitions may require additional borrowings or other financing
alternatives. (1)

     In addition to reinvesting a substantial portion of earnings in its
business, the Company currently intends to pay regular quarterly dividends. On
April 23, 1998, the Company declared an increased cash dividend of $.075 per
share to be paid on May 22, 1998 to stockholders of record as of May 8, 1998.
The declaration and payment of dividends, as well as the amount thereof, are
subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will
depend upon the Company's results of operations, financial condition, cash
requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of
Directors. There can be no assurance that the Company will declare and pay any
future dividends.

OTHER

     On April 22, 1998, the Company finalized the purchase of Galileo Nordiska
AB, a distribution company serving markets in Sweden, Norway and Finland, at a
price of $2.1 million.  The Company will account for the acquisition using the
purchase method of accounting.

FIRST QUARTER 1998 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA FIRST QUARTER 1997

     REVENUES.  Revenues increased $30.1 million, or 8.7%, to $377.0 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $346.9 million in pro forma revenues for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

     Growth in electronic global distribution services revenues resulted from an
increase in airline booking volumes of 3.3% and an increase in car, hotel and
leisure booking volumes of 9.3% during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Revenue growth was also driven by
air booking fee price increases that went into effect March 1, 1998 and March 1,
1997 as well as improvements in yield and increases in other electronic global
distribution revenues.  Total international booking volumes increased 9.4% for
the quarter, with strong growth in Europe, Africa and Asia, while domestic
booking volumes declined 2.3% over the same period last year.  This decrease in
domestic bookings is partially due to lower passive airline booking volumes
relative to last year, which is a result of carriers' efforts to minimize those
passive bookings that they feel do not add value.  In addition, in March 1998,
Galileo introduced a new passive fee structure in North America that only
charges airline vendors for passive bookings that are ticketed.

     COST OF OPERATIONS.  Cost of operations expenses increased $6.5 million, or
5.1%, to $135.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $128.6 million
in pro forma expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  This increase was
primarily attributable to higher wages for technical personnel, increased
communication costs due to market expansion and increased maintenance costs on
subscriber equipment at agency locations.  Cost of operations expenses reflect
lower increases than revenue growth due to management's continued focus on
operating efficiency and savings realized from the integration of the acquired
NDCs.  The Company continues to take advantage of decreasing technology costs on
Data Center equipment and has negotiated favorable supplier contracts for
subscriber equipment.

     COMMISSIONS, SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Commissions, selling and
administrative expenses increased $6.1 million, or 4.7%, to $135.6 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $129.5 million in pro forma expenses for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  NDC commissions and subscriber incentive
payments increased $5.8 million, or 6.9%, to $90.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, from $84.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
reflecting the increase in electronic global distribution services revenues.
NDC commissions are generally based on a percentage of booking revenues and
have, therefore, grown at a rate consistent with the growth in booking fees by
country.  Incentive payments are provided to subscribers in order to maintain
and expand the Company's travel agency customer base.  Remaining commissions,
selling and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million, or 0.7%, to $45.4
million from $45.1 million over the same periods.  This limited growth in other
commissions, selling and administrative expenses reflects the Company's
continued focus on expense management and savings realized from the integration
of the acquired NDCs.

                                       13

     OPERATING INCOME.  Operating income increased $17.5 million, or 19.7%, to
$106.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $88.8 million in pro
forma operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, resulting in an
improvement in operating margin to 28.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
from 25.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

     OTHER EXPENSES, NET.  Other expenses, net include interest expense, net of
interest income, and foreign exchange gains or losses.  Other expenses, net
decreased $3.5 million, or 57.4%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1998, from $6.1 million in pro forma other expenses, net for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease was primarily the result of lower interest
expense arising from lower debt levels and interest rates, partially offset by
lower interest income arising from lower cash and cash equivalents.

     INCOME TAXES.  Income taxes increased $8.5 million, or 25.8%, to $41.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $32.9 million in pro forma
income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in income taxes
was due to higher operating income. The Company's effective tax rate is
approximately 40%.

     NET INCOME.  Net income, increased $12.5 million, or 25.2%, to $62.3
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, from $49.8 million in pro forma
net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Net income as a percentage of
revenues increased to 16.5% from 14.4% over the same period.
