    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")

    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 quarter.  The number of such options
    was 2,203,697 and 202,857 at September 29, 2000 and October 1, 1999,
    respectively.

    Accumulated other comprehensive loss presented on the accompanying

    foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability
    adjustments, and net unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

(F) The Company's business involves operations which provide management and
    information technology consulting, systems integration and outsourcing.
    Based on the criteria of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
    Enterprise and Related Information," CSC has two reportable segments: the
    U.S. Federal Sector and the Global Commercial Sector.  The U.S. Federal
    Sector operates principally within a regulatory environment subject to
    governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal
    Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various
    U.S. Federal agencies.  The U.S. Federal Sector revenue reported below
    will vary from U.S. Federal government revenue presented elsewhere in
    this report due to overlapping activities between segments and reflects a
    realignment of intersegment activities to attribute operating results to
    the performing segment.  Information on reportable segments is as follows

(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.  This statement was subsequently amended by SFAS 137
    (June 1999) and SFAS 138 (June 2000).  As amended, this statement is
    effective for 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 Company has reviewed Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
    Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
    Statements."  As the Company's revenue recognition practices were
    consistent with SAB No. 101, it had no impact on the Company's
    consolidated financial statements.

(I) On June 20, 2000, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Patriot
    Acquisition Corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with
    Mynd Corporation ("Mynd"), formally known as Policy Management Systems
    Corporation.  The Agreement provides for the acquisition of Mynd by the
    Company through the merger of Patriot Acquisition Corporation with and
    into Mynd.  Mynd is a provider of systems, services, sourcing and
    e-business solutions to the global insurance and related financial
    services industries.  Completion of the merger is subject to customary
    conditions including antitrust regulatory clearances and approval by the
    shareholders of Mynd.  On July 31, 2000, CSC received a second request for
    information under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
    concerning the tender offer and the Company is currently in the process of
    responding to the request.

(J) 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.  Certain reclassifications
    have been made to the prior year's financial statements and notes in order
    to conform to the current presentation.

              PART I, ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2001 versus
               Second Quarter and First Six Months of Fiscal 2000

Revenues

During the second quarter ended September 29, 2000, the Company's total
revenues increased 12%, or $266.9 million, over the same period last year.

Global commercial sector revenue grew 10.8%, or $183.9 million over the same
quarter of last year.  Global commercial revenue growth was negatively
impacted by approximately 5 percentage points as a result of currency
fluctuations primarily in Europe and Australia.

U.S. Commercial revenue grew 13.2%, or $117 million to $1,004.5 million during
the second quarter of fiscal 2001 over the same period last year.  The growth
was principally driven by major recent information technology outsourcing
("IT") contracts announced during the past year, including United Technologies
Corporation, AT&T and the County of San Diego.

European revenue of $583.1 million for the second quarter was down 6.2% from
the $621.5 million reported in the corresponding period last year.  Revenue
growth was negatively impacted by about 11 percentage points as a result of
the impact of European currency fluctuations.  In addition, revenue was
adversely impacted by lower overall demand for consulting and systems
integration services and reflects a continuing slower pace
of Enterprise Resource Planning systems implementation activities than last
year.

Other international revenue for the second quarter grew 56.1% to $293 million.
The increase was principally the result of recent outsourcing awards in
Australia from G.E./G.E. Capital ITS and the Broken Hill Proprietary Company
and CSC's acquisition of their respective IT services business units.
Currency fluctuations principally in Australia negatively impacted other
international revenue growth by about 9 percentage points.

U.S. Federal sector revenue increased 15.6% to $618 million during the second
quarter.  Revenue gains were generated by increases from both civil agency and
Department of Defense business.  The accelerated federal growth for the
quarter was principally associated with several recent awards including the
Army's Logistics Modernization contract, increased tasking on the IRS
modernization program and activities related to support of the U.S. 2000
census which was wrapping up during the quarter.

For the first half of fiscal 2001, the Company's total revenue increased
11.9%, or 15.3% in constant currency and the Company announced new Global
Commercial and Federal business awards of $7.7 billion.  The Company's
continued growth has created a broad, long-term global revenue base across
numerous customers, industries, geographic regions and service regions.

</TABLE>
Comparing both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 to
fiscal 2000, overall total costs and expenses improved as a percentage of
revenue.  Lower costs in selling, general and administrative expenses were
partially offset by increases in costs of services and depreciation and
amortization.

Lower selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue
were principally related to benefits realized within the U.S. Federal Sector
as a result of Nichols Research Corporation integration synergies achieved, a
continued focus on aggressive cost containment across the Company and the
higher growth rate of our U.S. Federal sector revenues.  The increase in costs
of services as a percentage of revenue can be attributed principally to higher
labor costs experienced within our U.S. consulting business and the revenue
mix driven in part by the rapid growth of activities in our Asia Pacific
operations.  The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses as a
percentage of revenue was principally fueled by our recent outsourcing
activities that have required significant asset purchases.  The increase in
net interest expense was due to a combination of higher interest rates on
borrowings and an increase in the borrowings outstanding.

Income Before Taxes

Due to the Company's revenue growth and improvement in operating performance,
income before taxes increased $22.1 million to $162.6 million, up 15.7% over
the same quarter last year.  The resulting margin was 6.5% compared to 6.3%
for last year's second quarter and was 6.2% versus 6% for the six months of
fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, respectively.

Cash provided by operating activities was $55.2 million for the six months
ended September 29, 2000, compared with $220.8 million during the same period
last year.  The decrease of $165.6 million primarily resulted from changes in
working capital partially offset by an increase in earnings and non-cash
depreciation and amortization expenses.

The Company's cash expenditures for investing activities totaled $713 million
for the most recent six months versus $449.1 million during the same period of
last year.  The increase principally relates to purchases of outsourcing
assets and property and equipment across the Company and acquisition activity
primarily in Europe and Australia.

Cash provided by financing activities was $534.1 million for the most recent
six months versus cash used for financing activities of $106 million for the
same period a year ago.  The change is principally the result of an increase
in borrowings associated with the ramp up of recent outsourcing awards and
acquisition activity in fiscal 2001. Fiscal 2000 activity reflects the
repayment of the Company's $150 million 6.80% notes due April 1999.

Financial Condition

During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company's capital outlays
included $635 million of business investments in the form of fixed asset
purchases, acquisitions and outsourcing awards.  These investments were funded
from additional borrowings and existing cash balances, which decreased from
$260.4 million to $135.1 million.  The Company's debt-to-total capitalization
ratio increased from 22.9% at fiscal 2000 year end (March 31, 2000) to 30.7%
at September 29, 2000 principally due to the previously mentioned additional
borrowings.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company sold $500
million of 7.50% notes due August 2005 and intends to use the proceeds for
general corporate purposes, including the reduction of outstanding commercial
paper instruments.

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, as amended, for fiscal 2000.  The
exercise price of this put option is equal to the appraised value of the
business.

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

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.  This
statement was subsequently amended by SFAS 137 (June 1999) and SFAS 138 (June
2000).  As amended, this statement is effective for 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements contained in this quarterly report, or in any document filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in any press
release or other written or oral communication by or on behalf of the Company,
that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements represent the Company's
expectations and beliefs, and no assurance can be given that the results
described in such statements will be achieved.

These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many
of which are outside of the Company's control, that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results described in such statements.  These
factors include, without limitation, the following: (i) competitive pressures;
(ii) the Company's ability to consummate strategic acquisitions and alliances;
(iii) the Company's ability to attract and retain key personnel; (iv) changes
in the demand for information technology outsourcing and business process
outsourcing; (v) changes in U.S. federal government spending levels for
information technology services; (vi) the Company's ability to continue to
develop and expand its service offerings to address emerging business demands
and technological trends; (vii) changes in the financial condition of the
Company's commercial customers; (viii) the future profitability of the
Company's customer contracts, and (ix) general economic conditions and
fluctuations in currency exchange rates in countries in which we do business.
