                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying financial information has been prepared in accordance with 
the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore does not necessarily include all 
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial 
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of financial statements, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management 
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the 
financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the 
most current and best available information and actual results could differ 
from those estimates.

Certain amounts from the three and nine months ended October 31, 1997 have 
been reclassified in the condensed consolidated financial statements to 
conform to the presentation of the three and nine months ended October 31, 
1998.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the 
three and nine months ended October 31, 1998 and 1997 reflect all adjustments 
(which include only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair 
presentation thereof.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended 
October 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 1999.  For further 
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NOTE B - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued 
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1 "Accounting for Costs of Computer Software 
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," which defines the characteristics of 
internal-use software and provides guidance on when and what types of costs 
should be capitalized and when they should be expensed as incurred.  The 
Company will adopt SOP 98-1 effective for the fiscal year beginning February 
1, 1999.  Upon adoption, the Company will be required to capitalize certain 
types of costs on a prospective basis that were expensed as incurred under 
current accounting practice.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SOP 
98-1 to have a material impact to its consolidated financial position or 
results of operations.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative 
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which establishes accounting and 
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or 
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those 
instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the 
derivative instrument's fair value be recognized currently in results of 
operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  The Company 
will adopt SFAS No. 133 for the first quarter ending April 30, 2000.  The 
Company has not determined what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 133 
will have on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of 
operations.

NOTE C - RESTRICTED CASH:

The Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Network Solutions, Inc. ("NSI") had 
an agreement with the National Science Foundation ("NSF") which required NSI 
to set aside 30% of the cash collections from domain name registrations to be 
reinvested for the enhancement of the intellectual infrastructure of the 
Internet.  Effective April 1,1998, the NSF amended the agreement to eliminate 
this requirement and reduce domain name registration fees.  In September 
1998, NSI disbursed a portion of its restricted cash to the NSF at the NSF's
direction. The Company also has a contract to provide support services to the 
National Cancer Institute's Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center 
("Center").  As part of the contract, the Company is responsible for paying 
for materials, equipment and other direct costs of the Center through the use 
of a restricted cash account which is pre-funded by the U.S. Government.

NOTE D - RECEIVABLES:

Unbilled accounts receivable include $24,725,000 of costs incurred on 
projects for which the Company has been requested by the customer to begin 
work under a new contract, or extend work under an existing contract, but for 
which formal contracts or contract modifications have not been executed at 
October 31, 1998.

NOTE F - NOTES PAYABLE:

The Company has a five-year unsecured reducing revolving credit facility of 
$700,000,000 with a group of banks which allow borrowings until August 2002. 
Borrowings bear interest at the Company's option at various rates, based on 
the base rate, bid rate or on margins over the CD rate or LIBOR.  There were 
no balances outstanding under the facility at October 31, 1998 and the entire 
$700,000,000 was available.

NOTE G - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company is involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits 
arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion 
of the Company's management, will have a material adverse effect on its 
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its 
ability to conduct business.

NOTE H - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

Effective February 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting 
Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and 
displaying comprehensive income and its components in the annual financial 
statements with the same prominence as other annual financial statements.  
For interim periods, only a total for comprehensive income shall be reported 
in the condensed financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized 
gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities and foreign 
currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive 
income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 
the requirements of SFAS No. 130.  Comprehensive income as defined by SFAS 
No. 130 consisted of the following:

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998 increased 72% 
and 68%, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year, 
primarily driven by the Company's commercial business.  Of the total 
increase, 51% and 48% of the increase for the three and nine months ended 
October 31, 1998, respectively, were directly attributable to Bellcore, a 
subsidiary which was acquired on November 14, 1997, Network Solutions, Inc. 
("NSI"), a majority-owned subsidiary, and INTESA, a joint venture.  The 
remaining increase in revenues of 21% and 20% for the same periods, 
respectively, was attributable to internal growth in the traditional business 
areas which continued to shift toward lower cost service type contracts.  
This trend reflects the increasingly competitive business environment in the 
Company's traditional business areas, as well as the Company's increased 
success in the engineering and field services market, which typically involve 
lower cost contracts.

Revenues on the Company's contracts are generated from the efforts of its 
technical staff as well as the pass through of costs for material and 
subcontract efforts, which primarily occur on large, multi-year system 
integration type contracts.  At October 31, 1998, the Company had 
approximately 32,100 full-time employees compared to approximately 23,200 at 
October 31, 1997. Material and subcontract ("M&S") revenues were $235 million 
and $645 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, 
respectively, compared to $168 million and $489 million for the same periods 
of the prior year. As a percentage of total revenues, M&S revenues have 
decreased to 19% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998 
compared to 24% for the same periods of the prior year. 

Revenues by contract type indicate that the percentage of the Company's 
revenues attributable to higher risk, firm fixed-price ("FFP") contracts 
increased to 41% for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 from 28% for same 
period of the prior year.  The increase in revenues from FFP contracts is 
primarily driven by Bellcore.  As of the year ended January 31, 1998, 
revenues from FFP contracts were 32% and only included Bellcore revenues for 
the period from November 14, 1997 to January 31, 1998.  In addition, growth 
in other non-U.S. Government revenues contributed to the increase in revenues 
from FFP contracts.  The Company's non-U.S. Government customers typically do 
not contract on a cost-reimbursement basis.  The Company assumes greater 
performance risk on FFP contracts and the failure to accurately estimate 
ultimate cost or to control costs during performance of the work may result 
in reduced profits or losses. Fixed-price level-of-effort and 
time-and-materials type contracts increased slightly to 21% of revenues for 
the nine months ended October 31, 1998 from 18% for the same period in the 
prior year, while cost reimbursement contracts were 38%  and 54% for the same 
periods, respectively. 

The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased to 77.3% and 78.9% 
for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, respectively, compared 
to 87.0% and 87.4% for the same periods of the prior year, respectively.  The 
decrease reflects the growth in commercial revenues from Bellcore, INTESA and 
NSI, which have more of their associated costs in selling, general and 
administrative costs ("SG&A") as opposed to cost of revenues.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three and nine months ended 
October 31, 1998 increased to 14.6% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to 8.6% 
and 7.9% for the same periods of the prior year.  SG&A is comprised of 
general and administrative ("G&A"), bid and proposal ("B&P") and independent 
research and development ("IR&D") expenses.  G&A, B&P and IR&D increased as a 
percentage of revenues for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998 
compared to the same periods of the prior year due to growth in commercial 
revenues which have more of their associated costs in SG&A as opposed to cost 
of revenues.  While the level of B&P activity and costs have historically 
fluctuated depending on the availability of bidding opportunities and 
resources, B&P costs have increased in relation to revenues for the three and 
nine months ended October 31, 1998.  IR&D costs have also historically 
fluctuated depending on the stage of development for various hardware and 
software systems and have also increased in relation to revenues for the 
three and nine months ended October 31, 1998.  G&A costs as a percentage of 
revenues were 6.5% and 6.8% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 
1998, respectively, compared to 6.0% 

                                       I-8

<PAGE>

and 5.7% for the same periods of the prior year.  The increase in G&A costs 
represents the combination of growth in commercial business, increased 
amortization costs of goodwill and intangible assets associated with the 
Bellcore acquisition and losses from the impairment of goodwill.  For the 
three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, certain events and 
circumstances indicated that the recovery of certain goodwill was unlikely.  
For the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, the Company reduced 
goodwill by $3.9 million and $13.1 million, respectively, to its estimated 
recoverable value as determined by the excess of carrying amount over the 
estimated fair value. 

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998 and 
1997 primarily relates to interest on a building mortgage, deferred 
compensation arrangements, capital lease obligations and notes payable.  The 
increase in interest expense is primarily driven by an increase in deferred 
compensation balances, capital lease obligations and public debt securities.

Other income, net of other expense, was $9 million and $15 million for the 
three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, respectively, compared to $7 
million and $13 million for the same periods of the prior year.  The primary 
components of other income, net of other expense, for the nine months ended 
October 31, 1998 are interest income of $13 million, gain on sale of business 
assets of $4 million and an other-than temporary loss on an equity security 
of $3 million.

The provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes 
was 50.7% and 48.1% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 1998, 
respectively, compared to 45% for the same periods of the prior year.  The 
Company increased its tax provision for the three months ended October 31, 
1998 as it reassesses certain tax positions related to the Company's on-going 
appeals process with the IRS for fiscal years 1988 through 1993.  The higher 
effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 also includes a 
greater amount of non-deductible goodwill amortization.

The Company is involved in various investigations, claims and lawsuits 
arising in the normal conduct of its business, none of which, in the opinion 
of the Company's management, will have a material adverse effect on its 
consolidated financial position, results of operations or its ability to 
conduct business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of liquidity continue to be funds provided by 
operations and the five-year revolving credit facility.  At October 31, 1998 
and 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facility and 
cash, cash equivalents and  short-term investments were $383 million and $288 
million, respectively.

Operating activities continued to generate cash for the nine months ended 
October 31, 1998.  The Company actively monitors receivables with emphasis 
placed on collection activities and the negotiation of more favorable payment 
terms.

Cash spent on investing activities was $125 million for the nine months 
ended October 31, 1998 compared to a source of cash of $10 million for the 
same period of the prior year.  The increase in spending on investing 
activities for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 is primarily 
attributable to the purchases of debt and equity securities by NSI.  For the 
same period in the prior year, cash was primarily generated from the sale of 
net assets of the SAIT business unit, while cash was used for the purchase 
of land and buildings.

The Company spent $4 million on financing activities for the nine months 
ended October 31, 1998 compared to a source of cash of $36 million for the 
same period of the prior year.  The increase in spending for the nine months 
ended October 31, 1998 is primarily attributable to repurchases of common 
stock and payments on capital lease obligations.  The source of cash for the 
nine months ended October 31, 1997 was primarily attributable to proceeds 
from the sale of a minority interest in the Company's subsidiary NSI. 

The Company's cash flows from operations plus borrowing capacity are expected 
to provide sufficient funds for the Company's operations, common stock 
repurchases, capital expenditures and future long-term debt 

                                      I-9 

<PAGE>

requirements.  In addition, acquisitions and equity investments in the future 
are expected to be financed from operations and borrowing capacity as well as 
with the issuance of Company common stock.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The foregoing discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking 
statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current 
expectations of the Company and its officers with respect to, among other 
things, trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of 
operation and the impact of competition.  Such statements are not guarantees 
of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results 
may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a 
result of various factors.  Some of these factors include, but are not 
limited to the risk factors set forth in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on 
Form 10-K.  Due to such uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to 
place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as 
of the date hereof.

YEAR 2000

THE STATEMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONSTITUTE  "YEAR 2000 READINESS 
DISCLOSURE" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE YEAR 2000 INFORMATION AND READINESS 
DISCLOSURE ACT.

     YEAR 2000 PLAN - In 1996, the Company initiated a program to prepare the 
Company's centralized internal computer systems and applications for the Year 
2000.  The program has evolved into a risk-based plan designed to minimize 
risk to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, 
cash flows and its ability to conduct business.  The Company has established 
a Corporate Year 2000 Committee, which reports to an executive management 
team and the Board of Directors, to oversee, monitor and coordinate the 
Company-wide Year 2000 effort.  The plan focuses on information technology 
("IT") systems, non-IT systems, critical service suppliers and vendors 
("business partners"), and the Company's services and products. 

     IT SYSTEMS - The Company has established a six-phase program intended to 
ensure that its IT systems are Year 2000 compliant.  IT systems include 
internally developed software, software obtained from third parties, 
databases, mainframe computers, servers, and network and related hardware. 
Phases one, two and three of the program, which have been substantially 
completed, consist of planning the project, increasing internal awareness of 
Year 2000 issues, and developing and assessing an inventory of IT systems for 
Year 2000 issues. Phases four, five and six consist of renovating and testing 
impacted IT systems and implementing the appropriate solutions for these 
problems.  These phases are expected to be completed by March 1999. The 
Company plans to complete the remediation of its critical internal systems, 
including its internal core financial accounting systems, by the beginning of 
the Company's fiscal year 2000 that begins on February 1, 1999. The Company 
has also implemented a Company-wide program to test and, if necessary, 
replace computer desktops, laptops and internal communications network 
equipment and associated software. In addition, the Company's subsidiaries 
that do not use the core financial accounting systems of the Company are 
testing and remediating their internal systems for Year 2000 issues. As of 
this date, no matters have come to the attention of management that would 
indicate that these subsidiaries will not meet their plan to be Year 2000 
compliant. 

     NON-IT SYSTEMS - The Company has inventoried and assessed its non-IT 
systems in Company-owned or controlled facilities that may contain embedded 
technology, such as those found in elevators, telephone systems and security 
and access systems.  Company-owned or controlled sites are typically the 
largest sites and although they represent only 6% of the Company's facilities 
in number, these sites serve 45% of the Company's workforce.  Systems 
identified as having Year 2000 issues are being remediated or replaced and 
are scheduled to be Year 2000 compliant by February 1999.  The Company has 
engaged in communications with its lessors and customers regarding Year 2000 
issues with non-IT systems in leased or customer facilities and has provided 
its lessors with Year 2000 awareness information regarding embedded systems.  
The scope of the Company's involvement varies depending upon access to the 
facility and the extent of cooperation received from the lessors and 
customers.   The Company cannot control Year 2000 compliance in leased and 
customer facilities and must depend upon the cooperation of these third 
parties.

                                      I-10

<PAGE>

     BUSINESS PARTNER AND CUSTOMER YEAR 2000 IMPACTS - The Company's 
operations are dependent to varying degrees on the Year 2000 compliance of 
its business partners. Its significant business partners include, but are not 
limited to, the Company's suppliers and subcontractors, utility companies, 
banking partners, payroll processing vendor, insurance and benefit providers, 
the retirement plans' fund managers and trustees, and property management 
firms. In 1997, the Company initiated communications with its business 
partners to determine their Year 2000 readiness and the extent to which the 
Company is vulnerable to their failure to be Year 2000 compliant. To date, 
the Company has not received responses from all contacted business partners.  
Although it has inquired of most of its business partners, this effort has 
not been completed.  However, based on responses to date, the Company is not 
aware of any material exposure to Year 2000 problems attributable to its 
business partners.  The Company continues to actively pursue responses in 
order to assess its own state of readiness and develop any appropriate 
contingency plans.  The ability of the Company's business partners to be Year 
2000 compliant is beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company can 
give no assurances that its business partners and other third parties will be 
Year 2000 compliant or that the systems of such third parties will be 
compatible with the Company's systems. Failure of such third party systems to 
be compliant or compatible could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's results of operations and ability to do business.
 
The Company is substantially dependent upon the effectiveness of its 
customers' systems, principally those of the U.S. Government, for the 
administration of contracts and payment of the Company's invoices.  The 
Company is in the process of contacting its major U.S. Government payment 
offices to understand the current status of their Year 2000 issues and 
remediation efforts.  Although there could be a number of impacts, a primary 
concern is delays in contract payments if the Company's customers were to 
experience Year 2000 problems.  This could require a temporary increase in 
working capital to fund operations. Although the Company has substantial 
borrowing capacity available under its current revolving credit facilities 
which expire in August 2002, the Company will further evaluate the potential 
cash flow impact of a delay in contract payments and determine if additional 
steps are necessary to ensure that sufficient contingency financing is 
available.

     IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS - As of January 31, 1998, 11% of 
consolidated revenues was derived from the Company's international 
operations, primarily in Venezuela and the United Kingdom. Foreign countries 
and businesses located within those countries may not be applying adequate 
resources to address the Year 2000 issue.  To the extent that foreign 
countries and businesses are not Year 2000 compliant, the Company's 
international operations may be adversely affected.

     PRODUCTS AND SERVICES - The Company's Bellcore subsidiary derives 
significant revenues from the sale of telecommunication products. Bellcore 
has established an assessment, remediation and testing program for its 
proprietary software products that it expects to complete in early 1999.  The 
Company has also implemented an on-going program to assess its exposure, if 
any, with respect to its other products and services. To date, no matters 
concerning the Company's products and services have come to the attention of 
the Company's management that would have a material adverse effect on its 
consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its 
ability to conduct business.

     YEAR 2000 REMEDIATION COSTS - The Company is currently developing 
formalized procedures for tracking and reporting costs associated with 
remediating internal IT and non-IT systems. To date, the Company estimates it 
has spent approximately $5-$8 million on this remediation and expects to 
spend an additional $5-$11 million to complete this effort.  All costs, 
except long-lived assets, are expensed as incurred.  These costs include the 
cost of system replacements, hardware, software, internal labor and outside 
consulting and programming services.

     RISKS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES - While the Company expects to resolve Year 
2000 issues within its control without material adverse impact on results of 
operations, cash flows or its ability to conduct business, there can be no 
assurances as to the ultimate success of the program.  Uncertainties exist as 
to the Company's ability to detect and successfully resolve all Year 2000 
problems. Uncertainties also exist concerning the preparedness and readiness 
of the Company's business partners to avoid Year 2000 related service and 
delivery interruptions.  The "most reasonably likely worst case scenario for 
the Company" could include interruption of the Company's business, lost or 
delayed revenues, Company, vendor or subcontractor non-performance and 
delays, potential litigation with 

                                       I-11

<PAGE>

customers, suppliers or vendors with respect to Year 2000 compliance of 
products and services, performance problems with administrative and financial 
accounting systems, service problems with the payroll vendor and utilities in 
Company-owned and leased facilities, interruptions of subcontract services 
and products from vendors who are an integral component of the Company's 
performance on contracts, increases in general and administrative costs until 
the problems are resolved, slow payments by customers, and higher interest 
expense. In addition, customers of the Company may direct significant 
resources to addressing their own Year 2000 issues which could result in 
reductions or delays in purchases of the Company's services and products.

     CONTINGENCY PLANS - The Company is currently developing contingency 
plans for IT and non-IT systems, focusing on the Company's internal systems 
and its dependence on its business partners. The contingency plans are under 
development and the Company has not yet established a date for their 
completion. The Company intends to establish a timetable for completion of 
the contingency plans by January 31, 1999.   Due to the potentially far 
reaching consequences of the Year 2000 problem and the speculative nature of 
contingency planning, it is uncertain whether the Company's contingency plans 
once developed will adequately address the impacts of Year 2000 problems on 
the Company's operations.

     YEAR 2000 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - The foregoing statements as to 
costs, dates, intent, belief and current expectations of the Company or its 
officers with respect to Year 2000 issues are forward looking and are made in 
reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are based on the Company's best 
estimates and expectations given the information available at the date hereof 
and may be updated as additional information becomes available.  In addition, 
such statements are not guarantees of future results or outcomes and involve 
risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those 
in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Some of 
these factors, include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability to 
identify and address all Year 2000 issues associated with its IT and non-IT 
systems; the representations, preparedness and readiness of the Company's 
business partners; unanticipated expenses or delays on the part of the 
Company or its customers, service providers, suppliers and vendors, and the 
ability of the Company to develop and execute a comprehensive contingency 
plan to cover the "most reasonably likely worst case" scenario.  Due to such 
uncertainties and risks surrounding Year 2000 issues, the Company's 
assessment of the Year 2000 issue, including the costs of the program and 
timing of completion are based on management's best estimates and input from 
customers, service providers, suppliers and vendors.  These estimates were 
derived using numerous assumptions about future events, including continued 
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other 
factors.  However, the Company cautions that it is impossible to predict the 
impact of certain factors that are not within the control of the Company and 
there can be no assurances that these estimates will be achieved and actual 
results could differ materially from those anticipated.
