                 ($ in thousands except per share amounts)

(A) During November, 1993 the Company issued $250 million of
    commercial paper through its affiliate, CSC Enterprises, and
    paid down CSC Enteprises' $250 million in bank borrowings.
    CSC Enterprises entered into new credit agreements to provide
    standby support for the commercial paper program.  The standby
    agreements expire during November 1994 and November 1996 in
    the amounts of $100 million and $150 million, respectively.

(B) The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
    Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
    effective April 3, 1993.  As reported in the Company's Form
    10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 1993, the cumulative
    financial statement effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 was to
    increase the Company's net earnings by $4.9 million, or 9
    cents per share.  For the quarter ended October 1, 1993, the
    Company's tax provision includes approximately $1.3 million,
    or 3 cents per share, for the net cumulative amount of
    additional taxes pursuant to new U.S. tax regulations enacted
    during the quarter.  The Company's net deferred tax liability
    is included on the Company's balance sheet, with the long-term
    portion of $32,819 included as part of Other Long-Term
    Liabilities.

(C) On December 6, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors declared
    a three-for-one stock split in the form of a 200 percent stock
    dividend on the Company's common stock, with no change in par
    value.  The dividend was distributed January 13, 1994 to
    shareholders of record as of December 22, 1993.  Because the
    additional shares had not been distributed, the related $33.6
    million increase in common stock and decrease in retained
    earnings is not reflected on the Company's balance sheet at
    December 31, 1993.  However, all per share amounts contained
    in the statements of income and the accompanying notes are
    based on the new number of shares.  No other dividends were
    paid or declared during the periods presented.  Before giving
    effect to the stock split, there were 17,013,860 shares at
    December 31, 1993 and 16,811,831 shares at April 2, 1993 of
    $1.00 par value common stock issued with 195,369 and 190,747
    shares, respectively, in treasury stock.

(D) Interest, net consists of the following:

(E) Primary earnings per common share are based on the weighted
    average number of common stock and common stock equivalent
    shares (dilutive stock options) outstanding of 51,186,000 and
    50,145,000, respectively, for the nine months ended December
    31, 1993 and January 1, 1993 (see Part II - Exhibit 11). 
    These share amounts reflect the stock split described in Note
    C above.                                   

(F) Cash payments for interest on indebtedness were $13,799 and
    $17,257, respectively, for the nine months ended December 31,
    1993, and January 1, 1993.  Cash payments for taxes on income
    were $44,502 and $45,214, respectively, for the nine months
    ended December 31, 1993, and January 1, 1993.

(G) Effective April 3, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
    for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  As reported
    in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 1993,
    this statement has had no significant cash flow or earnings
    impact on the Company due to delayed recognition and the
    effect of recovery under government contracts.  

(H) The financial information reported, which is not necessarily
    indicative of the results for a full year, is unaudited but
    includes all adjustments which the Company considers necessary
    for a fair presentation.  All such adjustments are normal
    recurring adjustments.

                   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
             OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
     Third Quarter of Fiscal 1994 Versus Third Quarter of Fiscal 1993

Revenues
During the quarter ended December 31, 1993, the Company's total
revenues of $621.4 million increased $13.0 million over the same
period last year.  Federal revenue totaled $283.8 million, down
9.7% from last year's $314.3 million due principally to the
phaseout of two large contracts.  Commercial revenue of $255.4
million from domestic operations rose 6.9% from $239.0 million last
year, reflecting growth in the Company's consulting, systems
integration and outsourcing services.  International revenue
increased 49% to $82.2 million reflecting strong outsourcing growth
in Europe and a substantial contribution from the CSA acquisition,
completed November 1, 1993.

In the federal arena, the Company has been awarded approximately
$1.8 billion of federal business during the first nine months of
the current fiscal year, compared with $1.1 billion won for all of
fiscal 1993.

Costs and Expenses
As a percentage of revenue, costs of services were 79.5% for the
quarter ended December 31, 1993, a favorable result compared to the
81.6% for the same quarter last year.  The improvement is mainly
the result of a change in the Company's business "mix," with a
larger portion of the Company's business coming from its U.S.
commercial outsourcing activities, where costs of services by this
measure are lower than the Company's overall average.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16.6% to
$56.1 million, up from $48.1 million for last year's third quarter. 
The increased expenses relate primarily to the Company's federal
business and U.S. commercial outsourcing activities.  The Company's
depreciation and amortization expense increased to $33.3 million
for the current quarter, up from $29.8 million last year.  The
increase reflects higher amounts of depreciable and amortizable
assets connected primarily with CSC's U.S. consulting activities. 

Net interest expense decreased to $2.8 million for the current
quarter, down from $3.5 million for the same quarter last year. The
decrease is substantially due to increased interest income on
higher average cash balances invested.

Income Before Taxes
Income before taxes was $35 million, up $4.5 million or 14.7% over
last year's third quarter, reflecting both revenue growth and
margin improvement.  As a percent of revenues, income before taxes
for the two periods was 5.6% and 5%, respectively.  The margin
improvement is primarily due to the reduction in costs of services
as a percentage of revenues, as described above.  The improvement
in net interest expense also contributed to the margin improvement
by helping to offset the Company's higher selling, general and
administrative costs and depreciation and amortization expense.

Net Earnings
Net earnings were $21.7 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1993, up $2.9 million or 15.2% over the same quarter last year. 
The effective tax rate was 38.0%, versus 38.25% for the same
quarter last year. The lower tax rate reflects the reduction of
European tax losses which the Company was unable to offset against
taxable income elsewhere during the prior period, offset in part by
a higher effective rate on US income due to the August 1993 tax
legislation.  During the quarter just ended, CSC's Board of
Directors declared a three-for-one stock split in the form of a 200
percent stock dividend, and the additional shares were distributed
January 13, 1994.  Earnings per share for this year's third quarter
compared with the same quarter last year and adjusted for the split
were 42 cents versus 37 cents on a greater number of shares
outstanding.

Cash Flows
Cash flows from operating activities were $123.5 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1993, compared to $130.2 million
during the same period last year.  The higher operating cash flow
of the prior period includes approximately $22 million of higher
trade payables associated with the Company's expanded outsourcing
activities, while the current period is lower due to reduction of
trade payables in the UK.
 
The Company's cash outflows for investing activities increased to
$189.9 million, up from $82.9 million during the nine months last
year.  The higher outflow reflects expenditures for acquisitions as
described below.  The higher outflow also includes higher
expenditures for equipment and software, partially offset by
utilization of short-term investments.

Cash provided by financing activities was $9.7 million for the nine
months, versus $63.9 million used in financing activities during
the same period last year.  The prior period outflow includes the
first quarter extinguishment of the Company's $50 million Senior
Note issue and paydowns of other debt. 

Financial Condition
The Company's leverage has improved during the first nine months of
fiscal 1994, as reflected by a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio
of 29% at December 31, 1993, versus 31% at fiscal year-end.  This
improvement was achieved as stockholders' equity increased while
debt levels generally remained unchanged.  During November, 1993
the Company issued $250 million of commercial paper through its
affiliate, CSC Enterprises, and paid down CSC Enterprises' $250
million in bank borrowings.  CSC Enterprises entered into new
credit agreements to provide standby support for the commercial
paper program.  The commercial paper program is expected to benefit
the Company through lower interest costs.

Although operating cash flows were $124 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1994, the overall level of cash and short-term
investments decreased from $155 million to $80 million.  This
decrease is primarily the result of business investments in the 


                                    -9-

<PAGE>
form of fixed asset purchases, acquisitions, and software
development.  These investments  totaled $211 million.  See further
discussion below.

In all other respects, the Company's financial condition has not
changed significantly since the fiscal year-end.  It is
management's opinion that the Company will be able to fund its cash
needs from operating activities and from short-term borrowings.  It
is also management's opinion that any major additional requirements
can be financed by the use of unused borrowing capacity or by the
issuance of new CSC securities.

Other Matters
As discussed in the Company's second quarter Form 10Q, on November
1, 1993 the Company announced the signing of a $300 million, 10-
year outsourcing agreement with Australian Mutual Provident Society
(AMP), Australia's leading insurance company, and the acquisition
of Computer Sciences Australia (CSA), an AMP technology subsidiary. 
CSA is a leading systems integration, outsourcing and software
development firm with about 1,100 employees.  Under the outsourcing 
agreement, effective November 1, 1993, CSA is overseeing AMP's 
information technology operations and has acquired the assets of 
its major data center located in Bondi, a suburb of Sydney.  CSA is 
also operating AMP's data network, which links offices spanning 
Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia and the U.K. In addition, approx-
imately 100 AMP information technology personnel have joined CSA.
The annual revenue of CSA will approximate $110 million, including
the outsourcing services. 

On December 30, 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of ARC
Professional Services Group (PSG), a systems engineering concern
with approximately $170 million in annual revenues and 2,000
employees.  PSG will complement CSC's existing Federal government
business, and also contribute to the Company's commercial and
international customer base.

Also during the third quarter, CSC was selected by British
Aerospace for a potential outsourcing agreement, expected to extend 
for an initial period of ten years with total projected revenue of
approximately $1.3 billion.  British Aerospace, a leading UK
defense and commercial aerospace manufacturer, selected CSC as its
preferred supplier for the outsourcing of a substantial portion of
the information technology functions of its aerospace and defense
businesses.  Under the impending agreement, CSC would pay British
Aerospace in excess of $100 million for existing information
technology resources, including facilities, equipment and software. 
In addition, over 1,200 of British Aerospace's information
technology staff would transfer to CSC.  The contract is expected
to be signed within several months.
