    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
    No. 128, the computation of diluted EPS did not include stock options
    which were antidilutive, as their exercise price was greater than the
    average market price of the common stock of Computer Sciences Corporation
    ("CSC" or the "Company") during the year.  The number of such options was
    196,561 and 1,220 for the three months ended July 2, 1999 and
    July 3, 1998, respectively.

(B) No dividends were paid during the periods presented.  At July 2, 1999
    and April 2, 1999, there were 160,214,174 and 159,510,065 shares,
    respectively, of $1.00 par value common stock issued, and 374,262 and
    369,607 shares, respectively, of treasury stock.

(C) Cash payments for interest on indebtedness were $18 million and $14
    million for the three months ended July 2, 1999 and July 3, 1998,
    respectively.  Cash payments (refunds) for taxes on income were $11.5
    million and $(56.5) million for the three months ended July 2, 1999
    and July 3, 1998, respectively.

(F) CSC adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
    Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
    Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" as of the first quarter
    of fiscal 2000.  This statement requires the capitalization of internal
    use computer software costs provided that certain criteria are met.  These
    capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over
    the useful life of the software.  The adoption of SOP 98-1 had no material
    impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
    operations or cash flows.

(G) In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
    SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
    Activities."  This statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on
    the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting standards for
    hedging activities.  In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which
    amends SFAS No. 133 by deferring its effective date one year to fiscal
    years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The Company is currently assessing
    the impact this statement will have and, based on preliminary estimates,
    does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated
    financial position or results of operations.

(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

              PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 versus
                           First Quarter of Fiscal 1999

Revenues

During the first quarter ended July 2, 1999, the Company's total revenue
increased 17.6%, or $309 million, over the same period last year.

Global commercial sector revenues, which consist of U.S. Commercial, European,
and other international revenue, grew 22.6%, or $293 million over the same
quarter of last year.

U.S. Commercial revenue grew 16.1% or $114 million during the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 over the same period last year.  Over half of the growth was
generated from information technology outsourcing contracts.  The balance was
due to increased demand for services related to enterprise-wide solutions,
e-business, supply chain and systems integration, and growth within the
Company's financial services and healthcare vertical markets.

European revenues grew $80.4 million or 16.4% during the first quarter.  The
growth was provided principally from increases in outsourcing services,
additional demand for consulting and systems integration activities and
revenue generated by acquisitions made last year in France, Italy and the
Netherlands.

Other international revenue for the first quarter nearly doubled to $198.7
million.  The increase was the result of last year's fourth quarter
acquisition of CSA Holdings, Ltd. and expansion of CSC's Australia operations.

U.S. Federal sector revenue increased 3.7% or $17 million during the first
quarter.  Revenue gains generated from civil agencies were partially offset by
reductions in work performed on several Department of Defense and NASA
contracts.

The Company announced new business awards of over $4.7 billion during the
first quarter, including $2.7 billion related to Global Commercial activities
and $2 billion in new federal contract awards.  The Company's continued growth
has created a broad global revenue base across numerous customers, industries,
geographic regions and service regions.

Costs and Expenses

The Company's costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue are as follows
(dollars in millions):

</TABLE>

Comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, total costs and
expenses improved as a percentage of revenue, with improvements registered in
each component with the exception of costs of services.

Lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
was principally related to performance improvements within both the Company's
Global Commercial and U.S Federal Sectors.  Lower depreciation and
amortization expenses as a percentage of revenue were related primarily to
reduced depreciation expenses recorded in the Company's European operations
due to certain customer assets being fully depreciated.  The increase in costs
of services as percentage of revenue was principally associated with the
Company's CSA Singapore operation which has a higher ratio of costs of
services to total costs and expenses than most of the Company's operations.

Income Before Taxes

Income before taxes increased $21 million to $117.5 million, up 21.8% over the
same quarter last year.  The resulting margin was 5.7% compared to 5.5% for
last year's first quarter.

Net Income

Net income was up $14 million to $78.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2000, up 21.7% over last year's first quarter.  This year's first quarter
diluted earnings per share of 48 cents increased 20% over last year's first
quarter diluted earnings per share of 40 cents.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $25.6 million for the first quarter
compared with $42.5 million during the same period last year.  The decrease of
$16.9 million resulted from changes in working capital partially offset by
higher earnings and non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses.

The Company's cash expenditures for investing activities totaled $265.2
million for the most recent quarter versus $130.3 million during the same
period of last year.  The increase principally relates to acquisitions in
Italy and Austria and increases in property and equipment, and outsourcing
assets.

Cash used for financing activities was $130 million for the most recent
quarter versus cash provided by financing activities of $12.8 million for the
same period last year.  Repayment of the Company's $150 million 6.80% notes
due April 1999 was the principal cause.

Financial Condition

During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company's capital outlays
included $256.3 million of business investments in the form of fixed asset
purchases, acquisitions and outsourcing contracts. These amounts were funded
from operating cash flows, additional borrowings and existing cash balances,
which decreased from $602.6 million to $233.4 million.  The Company's debt-to-
total capitalization ratio improved to 26% at July 2, 1999 from 29.2% at
fiscal 1999 year end, principally due to the repayment of the Company's 6.80%
notes due April 1999.

The Company has an option to require a subsidiary of Equifax Inc. to purchase
the Company's credit reporting business as further described in Note 11 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 1999.  The exercise price of
this put option is equal to the appraised value of the business.











                                     11

<PAGE>

It is management's opinion that the Company will be able to meet its liquidity
and cash needs for the foreseeable future through a combination of cash flows
from operating activities, cash balances, unused borrowing capacity and other
financing activities, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities,
and/or the exercise of the put option described above.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" as of the first quarter of
fiscal 2000.  This statement requires the capitalization of internal use
computer software costs provided that certain criteria are met.  These
capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
useful life of the software.  The adoption of SOP 98-1 had no material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This
statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities.  In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amends SFAS No. 133 by deferring its
effective date one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  The
Company is currently assessing the impact this statement will have and, based
on preliminary estimates, does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

Since its inception, CSC has dealt with significant changes in the information
technology industry.  As a result, resources are constantly being employed to
modify, upgrade and enhance systems and infrastructure on behalf of clients
and for internal needs.  The Year 2000 issue represents another one of these
changes.  It is the result of computer systems that represent years as a two-
digit rather than a four-digit field.  Any of such systems that utilize date
sensitive data may not properly recognize a date field of 00 as the year 2000,
but as some other date, typically the year 1900.  This could result in
possible system failure, miscalculations, or data corruption, thereby
affecting normal business activity.

The Company has established a two-phase Year 2000 program to ensure that its
proprietary products, computer systems and facilities are Year 2000 ready.
The initial phase, which included planning, inventory and assessment, has been
completed with respect to CSC and all subsidiaries existing as of December 31,
1998, with the final phase, which consists of correction, testing, deployment
and acceptance, expected to be substantially completed by the end of the
Company's second fiscal quarter ending October 1, 1999.  The very small
percentage of final phase activities which may not be completed by October 1,
1999, is primarily related to certain clients which have not yet upgraded
applications for which they are responsible, thereby delaying their migration
to a Year 2000 ready system.





                                   12

<PAGE>

From January 1, 1999, through the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2000, CSC
acquired several information technology companies.  The existing Year 2000
readiness programs of the acquired companies have been integrated into CSC's
program and subjected to the same progress monitoring and control procedures.
All critical Year 2000 remediation tasks for these newly-acquired business
operations are expected to be substantially completed by December 1, 1999.

CSC's Year 2000 program is directed by its Year 2000 Assurance Office, which
monitors progress and coordinates the Company's Year 2000 activities.  The
Year 2000 Assurance Office reports directly to the Chairman, President, and
Chief Executive Officer.

The Company expects that its Year 2000 preparation efforts will not have a
material effect on its overall financial position or results of operations.
The Company currently estimates that the total fiscal 1999 and 2000 operating
costs associated with making its proprietary products, systems and
infrastructure Year 2000 ready, as well as estimates for contingency planning
and monitoring, including the cost of Company personnel diverted to Year 2000
assignments, will total approximately $51 million, of which $32 million had
been incurred as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000.  In addition,
the Company currently estimates that related capital expenditures for fiscal
1999 and 2000 will be approximately $13 million, of which $9 million had been
incurred as of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Some of these capital expenditures represent equipment replacements that have
been or will be accelerated due to Year 2000 issues.  The operating costs
described above are generally not incremental, but reflect the reallocation of
existing resources.  The Company has not deferred any significant information
technology projects as a result of the Year 2000 efforts.

As of the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2000, (a) the Company had
completed approximately 86% of all items it has identified as necessary to be
Year 2000 ready, including activities to correct Year 2000 issues, contingency
planning and ancillary efforts, and (b) the Company had completed
approximately 98% of all items it has identified as necessary to correct
critical Year 2000 items.

The Company has completed an assessment of its obligations and
responsibilities to its customers in respect of Year 2000 issues arising from
contractual engagements for computer goods and services, including obligations
arising from the licensing of the Company's proprietary software products.  As
a result of this assessment, it is management's opinion that these obligations
will not have a material effect on the Company.

The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its crucial
suppliers to determine whether they are or will be Year 2000 ready.  By
November 1, 1999, the Company expects to have identified and replaced any such
suppliers that will not be Year 2000 ready.  The Company is also contacting
property owners to determine the readiness of its leased facilities with
respect to facility infrastructure systems.  As of the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, over 75% of the company's crucial suppliers, property
owners, and landlords have been determined to have adequate programs in place
to be Year 2000 ready before the end of 1999.  Evaluation and, as appropriate,
replacement of the remaining 25% should be completed by November 1, 1999.  In



                                    13

<PAGE>

the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2,
1999, it was reported that 80% of the company's crucial suppliers, property
owners, and landlords had been determined to have adequate programs in place
and that the remaining evaluation and replacement should be completed by
October 1, 1999.  The 75% figure reported above and the change in expected
completion date are the result of new suppliers requiring evaluation due to
recent acquisitions.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the most reasonably likely worst
case scenario includes the possibility that the Company and/or its crucial
suppliers are unable to complete their Year 2000 readiness efforts prior to
the onset of failures, the effects of which could have a material adverse
impact on the Company's operations.  The Company could also be impacted
materially by any significant economic, financial market or infrastructure
disruption attributable to the Year 2000 issue.

The Company has developed initial drafts of Year 2000 transition, contingency
and crisis management plans.  These plans include the use of exercises and
drills with various relevant scenarios.  As a result of lessons learned from
the exercises, the plans may be modified. Plans will be finalized in November
of 1999 following the conclusion of the exercises and drills.  The Company has
also established the infrastructure for a Year 2000 corporate command center
that will be fully operable beginning November 1999.  This command center will
be linked to each business unit's Year 2000 crisis management center, which
will be connected to internal and client-support help desks.
