              AFFILIATED COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
         Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries
         (the "Company" or "ACS"). All material intercompany profits,
         transactions and balances have been eliminated. ACS is a nationwide
         provider of information technology services and electronic funds
         transfer ("EFT") transaction processing. The Company's information
         technology services include business process outsourcing, data
         processing outsourcing, image management solutions and information
         systems programming services. The Company provides its services to
         customers with time-critical, transaction-intensive information
         processing needs.

         The financial information presented should be read in conjunction with
         the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year
         ended June 30, 1996. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial
         statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal
         recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
         for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The
         results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
         to be expected for the year.

2.       ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

         During the first nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company closed six
         acquisitions which were accounted for as purchases. Assets acquired,
         liabilities assumed and net purchase price of these acquisitions were
         $55.0 million, $9.6 million and $45.4 million, respectively. The
         Company financed a portion of the aggregate purchase price for these
         acquisitions through the issuance of 408,567 shares of unregistered
         Class A common stock.

         During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold its
         community bank processing businesses within Texas and Louisiana which
         were a part of the Company's outsourcing business services. The
         Company fully reserved for the disposition of these businesses, which
         had historical annual revenues of $18.0 million, with a $3.8 million
         pre-tax charge to earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The
         divestitures netted the Company $2.7 million of cash in the first nine
         months of fiscal 1997.

3.       STOCK DIVIDEND

         On October 28, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
         two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend on
         the common stock for shareholders of record on November 11, 1996. A
         total of 17,741,949 shares of common stock were issued on November 22,
         1996 in connection with the split. The stated par value of each share
         was not changed from $.01. A total of $177,000 was reclassified from
         the Company's additional paid-in capital account to the Company's
         common stock accounts. All share and per share amounts have been
         restated to reflect the stock split.

4.       REVERSAL OF LITIGATION JUDGMENT

         In February 1997 the Texas Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision,
         overturned a lower court's judgment against the Company for which the
         Company had previously accrued approximately $6 million. A motion for
         reconsideration was filed by the plaintiffs; however, due to the 
         strength of the unanimous decision and based upon its legal counsel's 
         review thereof, the Company does not believe that the court's opinion 
         will change. During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company 
         reversed this accrual to Other Operating Expenses.

5.       NON-RECURRING CHARGE

         During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company recorded a
         one-time charge of $6 million ($4.6 million in Other Operating
         Expenses and $1.4 million in Depreciation and Amortization) relating
         to the consolidation of two of its mainframe data centers and the
         upgrading of certain computer hardware and software to newer
         technology. The related assets were written down to their estimated
         fair values in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
         and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." Such writedowns were
         required when the carrying value of assets currently held for use
         exceeded their expected future undiscounted cash flows, including
         expected cash flows resulting from eventual disposition.

6.       BALANCE SHEET RECLASSIFICATIONS

         In June 1996, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of The Genix
         Group, Inc. ("Genix"). At the time of the acquisition, the Company
         recorded a $30 million liability related to software license issues
         with a software vendor. Of the $30 million liability, $5 million was
         classified as short-term and the remaining $25 million was classified
         as long-term. During the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company
         agreed to a one-time cash settlement with the vendor resulting in the
         $30 million obligation being reduced to $23 million. This liability
         was reclassified as short-term at March 31, 1997 and was paid in
         April. The Company has also assessed and adjusted other assets and
         liabilities recorded in connection with the Genix acquisition,
         resulting in an immaterial adjustment to net assets. As such, these
         adjustments had no significant impact on third quarter fiscal 1997
         earnings.

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

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations ("MD&A") includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this MD&A
regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy and plans and
objectives of management of the Company for future operations are
forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance that such expectations will be realized.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". The
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997 and specifies new standards for the computation and
presentation of earnings per share. The Company's adoption of this standard
will result in the dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per
share on the face of the Company's income statement. Diluted earnings per share
calculated using the new standard is not expected to materially differ from
primary earnings per share previously presented.

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 TO THE QUARTER ENDED 
MARCH 31, 1996

Revenues increased $57.3 million, or 58%, to $156.4 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 (the third quarter of the Company's 1997 fiscal year),
from $99.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, due to acquisitions,
internally generated sales and growth from existing customers. Of the 58%
increase in revenue, 17% was from internal growth and 41% was from
acquisitions. The Company acquired two businesses during the quarter, which had
historical annual revenues of approximately $43.0 million. Eight business
acquisitions have occurred since the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Revenues
from these acquisitions were approximately $38.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997.

Total operating expenses were $137.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1997, an increase of 54.8% from $89.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1996; however, operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased from
90.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to 88.2% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Wages and benefits decreased from 42.4% of revenues in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to 38.3% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
Additionally, services and supplies decreased to 23.3% of revenues in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to 24.9% of revenues in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The decreases as a percentage of revenues are primarily due to the
acquisition of Genix during June 1996 and economies of scale related to growth
in the Company's outsourcing business line, which offsets the growth in the
Company's more labor intensive professional services businesses.

Depreciation and amortization increased to 5.9% of revenues in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to 3.5% of revenues in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to a one-time charge
during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 relating to planned data center
consolidations and technology upgrades. The portion of this charge related to
depreciation and amortization was $1.4 million.

Other operating expense decreased to 0.4% of revenues in the third quarter of
fiscal 1997, compared to 1.1% of revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.
The decrease was due to the net effect of the reversal of the litigation
accrual and the one-time charge for data center consolidations and technology
upgrades.

Operating income increased $8.6 million, or 86.9%, to $18.5 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997, compared to $9.9 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The increase was due to the combination of increased internally
generated sales and the eight acquisitions completed since the third quarter of
fiscal 1996. The increase in operating income margin to 11.8% in the third
quarter of fiscal 1997, from 10.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, was due
primarily to the acquisition of Genix and the realization of economies of scale
in the outsourcing business line.

Interest and other expenses increased from $0.4 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase
can be attributed to an increase in net borrowings on the Company's revolving
credit facility resulting from the acquisitions funded since the third quarter
of fiscal 1996.

The Company's effective tax rate of approximately 41% exceeded the federal
statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to the amortization of certain
acquisition-related costs that are non-deductible for tax purposes, plus the
net effect of state income taxes.

COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1996

Revenues increased $171.0 million, or 61%, to $450.7 million in the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, from $279.7 million for the same period in fiscal 1996
due to acquisitions, internally generated sales and growth from existing
customers. The Company acquired six businesses during the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 which had historical annual revenues of approximately $62.0
million and generated $13.9 million of revenues for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1997. Revenues from the eight businesses acquired since March 31,
1996 were $102.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.

Total operating expenses were $399.6 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1997, an increase of 58.9% from $251.4 million for the same period in
fiscal 1996. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly
from 89.9% in fiscal 1996 to 88.7% in fiscal 1997.

Wages and benefits decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues due to the
growth in the Company's outsourcing business line. Services and supplies
decreased as a percentage of revenues from 25.5% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 to 22.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 due to the
acquisition of Genix, acquisitions of several labor intensive businesses during
the preceding twelve months and economies of scale as mentioned above.
Depreciation and amortization increased to 5.1% of revenues in the first nine
months of fiscal 1997, compared to 3.8% of revenues in fiscal 1996. This
increase is due primarily to capital expenditures for computer hardware and
software and goodwill recorded in connection with the Genix acquisition and a
one-time charge during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 relating to planned
data center consolidations and technology upgrades.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)



Operating income increased $22.8 million, or 80.6%, to $51.1 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1997, compared to $28.3 million in fiscal 1996. The
increase was due to the growth in new business generated by the Company and
acquisitions since the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The operating income
margin also increased to 11.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 1997, from
10.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 due to the success of recent
acquisitions and increased realization of economies of scale.

Interest and other expenses increased from $0.6 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1996 to $4.4 million in fiscal 1997. This increase can be
attributed to an increase in net borrowings on the Company's revolving credit
facility resulting from acquisitions funded since the third quarter of fiscal
1996.

The Company's effective tax rate of approximately 41% exceeded the federal
statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to the amortization of certain
acquisition-related costs that are non-deductible for tax purposes, plus the
net effect of state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1997, the Company's liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash
equivalents, totaled $21.0 million compared to $34.7 million at June 30, 1996.
These liquid assets included $4.4 million ($9.1 million at June 30, 1996)
borrowed under a revolving credit facility ("ATM Cash Facility") for use in the
Company's automated teller machines ("ATMs"). Working capital was $43.1 million
and $50.0 million at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively, and
decreased due to the reclassification of a liability to a software vendor. This
issue was resolved in March 1997, at which time the liability was reclassified
from long-term to short-term liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.3 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1997, compared with $11.0 million provided by operating
activities during the first nine months of fiscal 1996. The improvement is
primarily due to increased earnings, reduction in ATM cash and a decrease in
deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset reduction relates primarily to the
Genix acquisition for which tax amortization and depreciation deductions exceed
book expense. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $4.7 million
over the prior year nine month period, primarily due to an increase in
acquisitions, offset by a reduction in capital expenditures. The current period
included $42.8 million paid for acquisitions and $27.5 million paid for capital
expenditures. Net cash flow from financing activities decreased $30.4 million,
primarily due to a secondary offering of 1.8 million shares of Class A common
stock which netted the Company $68.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1996. This was offset by an increase in borrowings during the first nine months
of fiscal 1997 for the acquisitions mentioned previously.

The Company has an available line of credit of $125 million under an unsecured
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). Borrowings under the Credit
Facility as of March 31, 1997 were $69.7 million. After considering outstanding
letters of credit and the $23 million payment made to the aforementioned
software vendor in early April, the Company has approximately $21.2 million
available for use under the Credit Facility. The Company has an ATM Cash
Facility of $11 million, of which $4.4 million was outstanding as of March 31,
1997. This facility expires December 1997. The Company also has three vault
cash custody agreements with financial institutions which provide the use of up
to $58.0 million in cash for use in Company-owned ATMs. The amount of cash
outstanding under the cash custody agreements at March 31, 1997 was
approximately $38.5 million and is not an asset or liability of the Company and
therefore not recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company's management believes that available cash and cash equivalents,
together with cash generated from operations and available borrowings under its
credit facilities, will provide adequate funds for the Company's anticipated
needs, including working capital, capital expenditures and ATM vault cash
requirements. Management also believes that cash provided from operations will
be sufficient to satisfy all existing debt obligations as they come due.

As the size and financial resources of the Company increase, however,
additional acquisition opportunities requiring significant commitments of
capital may arise. In order to pursue such opportunities, the Company may be
required to incur debt or to issue additional potentially dilutive securities
in the future. No assurance can be given as to the Company's future acquisition
and expansion opportunities and how such opportunities would be financed.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         a)   On October 31, 1995, the Fifth District Court of Appeals in
              Dallas, Texas (the "Court of Appeals") affirmed the judgment of
              the trial court in the matter styled ACS Investors, Inc., et. al.
              v. Thomas McLaughlin and John Lazovich. The trial court had
              rendered a verdict in favor of Messrs. McLaughlin and Lazovich on
              causes of action for tortious interference with an acquisition
              agreement entered into by Messrs. McLaughlin and Lazovich and
              First Texas Savings Association in 1986 related to the
              acquisition of an electronic benefit transfer business. The total
              amount of the judgment against the Company, ACS Government
              Services, Inc., Darwin Deason and J. Livingston Kosberg, a former
              director of the Company, including interest, is approximately
              $9.5 million, which includes $3 million in actual damages and
              $1.5 million in exemplary damages. The Company has indemnified
              Mr. Deason and Mr. Kosberg from any liability arising from the
              suit.

              The Company pursued its appeal of the judgment before the Texas
              Supreme Court in October 1996. On February 21, 1997, the Texas
              Supreme Court issued its opinion on this appeal, reversing the
              verdict and rendering in favor of the Company. The plaintiffs
              subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration with the Texas
              Supreme Court. The Texas Supreme Court has not yet issued its
              opinion on this motion.

         b)   On May 22, 1996, a former employee of Gibraltar Savings
              Association ("GSA") filed suit in Texas state court alleging
              entitlement to 6,467 shares of the Company's Class A common stock
              pursuant to options issued to certain GSA employees in 1988 in
              connection with a former data processing services agreement
              between GSA and the Company. Subsequently, sixteen additional
              former GSA employees filed a similar suit alleging entitlement to
              310,996 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, which
              together with the other shares represent less than 0.9% of the
              outstanding common stock and common stock equivalents of the
              Company. The Company believes that is has meritorious defenses to
              all or substantial portions of plaintiffs' claims and plans to
              vigorously defend against these lawsuits.

         c)   The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and
              disputes which arise in the ordinary course of its business.
              Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes of these legal
              proceedings, the Company's management does not believe these
              actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
              financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However,
              if unfavorably resolved, these proceedings could have a material
              adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
              operations and liquidity.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities
              
              On March 1, 1997, the Company, through its 70% owned subsidiary,
              Technical Directions, Inc., acquired all of the capital stock of
              Wesson, Taylor, Wells & Associates, Inc., a privately owned
              company based in Charlotte, North Carolina and in the business of
              supplying contract programming and consulting services.
              Consideration given for the stock included cash plus 264,423
              shares of the Company's Class A common stock at $20.80 per
              share. The Company issued the Class A common stock in reliance on
              the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
              1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
        
              On March 31, 1997, the Company acquired all of the capital stock
              of Intelligent Solutions, Inc., a privately owned company based
              in Fairfax, Virginia and in the business of providing LAN services
              to a majority of the members of the U.S. Congress, the White
              House and to executive branch agencies. Consideration given for
              the stock included cash plus 144,144 shares of the Company's

              Class A common stock at $20.81 per share. The Company issued the 
              Class A common stock in reliance on the exemption provided in 
              Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
