Item 2   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

      (a)  On June 1, 1995, Computer Associates International, Inc.
(the "Registrant"), through a wholly owned subsidiary, VR126, Inc.
("VR126"), commenced a tender offer for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Legent Corporation ("Legent") common stock at
a price of $47.95 per share in cash.  The purchase price was
determined through a series of arms length negotiations between
officers and representatives of the Registrant and Legent's
representatives and Board of Directors.  The offer was made
pursuant to a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
May 25, 1995 (the "Agreement") among the Registrant, VR126 and
Legent.  On August 1, 1995, the Registrant through VR126 accepted
for payment approximately 37.9 million shares of Legent outstanding
common stock validly tendered in the offer representing
approximately 98% of the outstanding shares (approximately 90% on
a fully diluted basis).

Legent is engaged in the design, development, marketing and support
of a broad range of computer software products for the management
of information systems.  Legent markets software products which are
used to manage mainframe, midrange, server, workstation and PC
systems deployed throughout a business enterprise.  Legent's
products and services are designed to improve the efficiency of
computer resources by providing data integrity, managing
applications, moving files among users, providing back-up and
security capabilities, enhancing system utilization, monitoring
processing performance and accounting for the usage of system
resources.  Legent's assets consist of cash, receivables, property
and equipment, purchased software products and other tangible and
intangible assets.  Legent's liabilities consist primarily of trade
payables and normal accruals.  The purchase price and associated
charges will be allocated among the identifiable tangible and
intangible assets of Legent based on their fair market value at the
acquisition date under the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations.  The cost of purchased research and
development for that portion of the acquired technology that has
not reached the working model stage and has no alternative future
use will be written off against the Registrant's earnings in its
second quarter ending September 30, 1995.  The after-tax charge
against earnings is initially estimated to be approximately $800
million, or approximately $5.00 per share.


<PAGE> 2


The pending merger of VR126 and Legent will become effective as soon 
as practicable after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in,
and subject to the terms of, the Agreement, but in no event earlier
November 6, 1995.  Once the pending merger becomes effective,
Legent will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

The total funds needed to consummate the offer and the merger is
approximately $1.8 billion.  The Registrant has obtained and will
continue to obtain such funds from the Registrant's general
corporate funds and drawings under the Registrant's $2 billion
Credit Agreement dated as of July 24, 1995, between the Registrant,
the banks and other financial institutions party thereto and Credit
Suisse, as Agent.  The names of the other lenders are set forth in 
the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement is a five-year reducing
revolving credit agreement initially having a borrowing cost at
LIBOR plus 5/8%.  The Credit Agreement calls for the maintenance of
certain financial conditions and ratios.

(b) Legent utilized its assets in its computer software business,
and the Registrant intends to continue such use in its own software
business.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and 
         Exhibits.

      (a)  Financial statements of business acquired.

The required financial statements of Legent were previously
reported in Legent's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1994 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995, respectively,
and incorporated herein by reference.

      (b)  Pro forma financial information.

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet
as of June 30, 1995, and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed
income statements for the year ended March 31, 1995 and the quarter
ended June 30, 1995, give effect to the merger of Legent as if it
had occurred on June 30, 1995 for purposes of the balance sheet and
as of April 1, 1994 and April 1, 1995, respectively, for purposes
of the income statements.  The unaudited pro forma information is
based on the historical financial statements of the Registrant and
Legent giving effect to the transaction under the "purchase" method
of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments in the
accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements.



<PAGE> 3

The Registrant has a fiscal year end of March 31 while Legent has
a fiscal year end of September 30.  As a result, the operations for
the twelve months ended March 31, 1995 for the Registrant have been
combined with the twelve months ended March 31, 1995 for Legent. 
Legent's twelve month period was derived by adding Legent's six
months ended September 30, 1994 with its six months ended March 31,
1995.

The after-tax charge of $800 million resulting from purchased
research and development costs has been reflected in stockholder's
equity in the pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet at
June 30, 1995.  This same charge has been excluded from the pro
forma consolidated condensed income statements for the year ended
March 31, 1995 and the quarter ended June 30, 1995 consistent with
Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma statements have been prepared by the
Registrant's management based upon the financial information of the
Registrant and Legent.  The  pro forma information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
financial position or results of operations which would actually
have been reported had the acquisition been in effect during these
periods or which may be reported in the future.  These unaudited
pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the separate notes to unaudited financial statements and related
notes thereto of the Registrant and Legent.
