                           SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

NOTE A --  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of 
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered 
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results 
for the six months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 
31, 1997.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in Computer Associates 
International, Inc.'s (the "Registrant" or the "Company") Annual Report 
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

Cash Dividends:  In May 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared 
its regular, semi-annual cash dividend of $.07 per share.  The dividend 
was paid on July 9, 1996 to stockholders of record on June 10, 1996, 
prior to the Company's three-for-two stock split effective June 19, 
1996.

Net Income per Share:  Net income per share of Common Stock is computed 
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares 
and any dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  Common share 
equivalents for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 
1995 were excluded because of their anti-dilutive effect.  Fully diluted 
net income per share is the same or not materially different from net 
income per share.

Stock Split:  On  May 30, 1996  the Company declared a three-for-two 
stock split in the form of a stock  dividend, distributed July 15, 1996 
to stockholders of record as of June 19, 1996.  Shares and 
per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect this stock split as well 
as the previous three-for-two stock split effective August 21, 1995.
  
Statements of Cash Flows:  For the six months ended September 30, 1996 
and 1995, interest payments were $30 million and $20 million, 
respectively, and income taxes paid were $119 million and $64  
million, respectively.

NOTE B --  ACQUISITIONS         

On August 1, 1995, the Company acquired 98% of the issued and 
outstanding shares of Common Stock of Legent Corporation ("Legent"), and 
on November 6, 1995 merged Legent into one of its wholly owned 
subsidiaries.  The aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.8 
billion was funded from drawings under the Company's $2 billion credit 
agreement dated July 24, 1995.  Legent was engaged in the design, 
development, marketing, and support of a broad range of computer 
software products for the management of information systems used to 
manage mainframe, midrange, server, workstation and PC systems deployed 
throughout a business enterprise.  The acquisition was accounted for as 
a purchase.  The results of Legent's operations have been combined with 
those of the Company since the date of acquisition.

The Company recorded an $808 million after tax charge against earnings 
for the write-off of purchased Legent research and development 
technology that had not reached the working model stage and has no 
alternative future use. 

The following table reflects pro forma combined results of operations 
(unaudited) of the Company and Legent on the basis that the acquisition 
had taken place and the related after tax charge, noted above, was 
recorded at the beginning of fiscal year 1996:

the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of fiscal year 
1996 or of future operations of the combined entities under the 
ownership and operation of the Company.

NOTE C -- THE 1995 KEY EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

Under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Employee Ownership Plan (the "1995 
Plan") the Stock Option and Compensation Committee of the Board of 
Directors (the "Committee") is authorized to grant, subject to the 
attainment of certain Common Stock price objectives, up to 13,500,000 
shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock to three key executives. 
 
The Committee has initially reserved 4,500,000 shares of  Common Stock 
("Initial Grant") and may grant up to an additional 9,000,000 shares 
(the "Additional Grants") based on achievement of certain target 
price levels for the Company's Common Stock. In January 1996, 900,000 
shares of Common Stock reserved under the Initial Grant vested, subject 
to the continued employment of the key executives. Accordingly, the 
Company began accruing the compensation expense associated with the 
900,000 shares over the employment period ending March 31, 2000.   At 
September 30, 1996, 5,400,000 shares of the Additional Grants had been 
reserved under the 1995 Plan, and 3,600,000 shares were available for 
future grants based on stock price performance. The Initial Grant and 
Additional Grants are non-transferable, are subject to risk of 
forfeiture through March 31, 2000 and are further subject to 
significant limitations on transfer during the seven years following 
vesting.

All references to the number of shares available and reserved for grant 
have been adjusted to reflect three-for -two stock splits effective June 
19, 1996 and August 21, 1995.

NOTE D --  SUBSEQUENT EVENT        

On October 11, 1996, the Company announced that Tse-tsehese-staetse, 
Inc., the Company's wholly owned merger subsidiary, commenced a tender 
offer for all of the outstanding shares of Cheyenne Software, Inc. 
("Cheyenne") common stock  at a price of $30.50 per share, net to the 
seller in cash.  The offer is being made pursuant  to the Agreement and 
Plan of Merger dated as of October 7, 1996 among Tse-tsehese-staetse, 
Inc. and Cheyenne.  It is conditioned, among other things, upon a number 
of shares being tendered and not withdrawn such that, upon consummation 
of the offer,  the Company and its affiliates will beneficially own in 
the aggregate not less than the majority of the shares on a 
fully diluted basis.  The offer will expire at 12:00  midnight, New York 
City time, on Friday, November 8, 1996, unless the offer is extended.

The Board of Directors of Cheyenne has unanimously approved the offer 
and the Merger Agreement and has unanimously recommended that the 
stockholders of Cheyenne accept the offer.

Item 2:

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Statements in this Form 10-Q concerning the company's future prospects 
are  "forward looking statements"  under the federal securities laws.  
There can be no assurances that future results will be achieved and 
actual results could differ materially from forecasts and 
estimates.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ 
materially are discussed below in the section "Operations".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

Total revenue for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996 increased by 
22%, or $178 million, over the prior year's comparable quarter.  The 
increase reflects the Company's offering of attractive enterprise 
pricing options, as well as the continued growth of licensing fees from 
the Company's expanding client/server products.   The inclusion in the 
current period of revenues associated with the Legent products for three 
months compared to two months of Legent activity in the prior year's 
comparable quarter contributed slightly to the revenue growth.  Revenue 
in North America exhibited strong growth representing 62% of the revenue 
in the September 1996 quarter compared to 52% of revenue in the 
September 1995 quarter.   International revenue for the quarter 
decreased by $19 million over the comparable quarter  last year due 
primarily to unfavorable foreign exchange rates and strong international 
results last year which benefited disproportionately from the Legent 
acquisition. Maintenance revenues increased $8 million, or 4%, primarily 
due to the acquisition of the Legent client base, partially offset by 
the ongoing trend of site consolidations and expanding client/server 
revenues which yield lower maintenance.  Price changes did not have a 
material impact in either quarter.

Costs and Expenses:

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total 
revenue for the September 1996 quarter increased  to 39% from 38% for 
the September 1995 quarter. The modest percentage increase reflects 
increased promotional expenditures, specifically charges associated with 
CA-World, a week long, company wide user conference held in the month of 
August.  Net research and development expenditures increased $9 million, 
or 12%, over the September 1995 quarter.  The addition of Legent product 
development personnel, continued emphasis on adapting products for the 
client/server environment and broadening of Internet/Intranet product 
offerings were largely responsible for the increase.  Commissions and 
royalties as a percentage of revenue were 5% for both the September 1996 
and 1995 quarters. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5 
million in the September 1996 quarter over the September 1995 quarter, 
primarily due to the additional purchased software product amortization 
associated with the Legent acquisition.  In the September 1996 quarter, 
net interest expense increased by $4 million over the September 1995 
quarter as a result of the higher average debt levels associated with 
borrowings used to finance the Legent acquisition.

Item 2:  (Continued)

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                   CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Margins:

Net income for the September 1996 quarter was $223 million, or $.59 per 
share compared to a net loss of $637 million, or $1.76 per share in the 
September 1995 quarter. The net loss for the September 1995 quarter was 
entirely attributable to the $808 million after tax charge for the 
write-off of Legent purchased research and development technology that 
had not reached the working model stage and had no alternative future 
use.  Excluding the after tax charge, net income for the September 
1996 quarter increased $52 million, or 30% compared to the September 
1995 quarter's adjusted net income of $171 million. The Company's 
consolidated effective tax rate for the September 1996 quarter decreased 
to 37%, slightly less than the prior year's effective tax rate of 37.5%. 
 

Operations:

The Company's products are designed to improve the productivity  and 
efficiency  of its clients' data processing resources.  Accordingly, in 
a recessionary environment, the Company's products are often a 
reasonable economic alternative to customers faced with the prospect 
of incurring expenditures to increase their existing  data processing  
resources.  However, a general or global slowdown in the world economy 
could adversely affect the Company's operations.

The Company has traditionally reported lower profit margins in the first 
two quarters of each fiscal year than those experienced in the third and 
fourth quarters.  As part of the annual budget process, management 
establishes higher discretionary expense levels in relation to projected 
revenue for the first half of the year.  Historically, the Company's 
combined third and fourth quarter revenues have been greater than the 
first half of the year, as these two quarters coincide with the clients' 
calendar year budget periods and the culmination of the Company's annual 
sales plan. Historically, higher second half revenues have resulted in 
significantly higher profit margins since total expenses have not 
increased in proportion to revenue.  However, past financial performance 
should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future 
performance.

The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of 
other factors, including, but not limited to: uncertainties relative to 
economic conditions; market acceptance of competing technologies; the 
availability and cost of new solutions; the Company's ability to 
successfully manage the transition from deriving a majority of its 
revenue from  mainframe products to offering lower, individually priced 
client/server solutions;  the strength of its distribution channels; the 
Company's ability to manage fixed and variable expense growth relative 
to revenue growth; and the Company's ability to effectively integrate 
acquired products and operations.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and 
marketable securities balance increased by approximately $2 million from 
the balance at June 30, 1996. During the quarter, bank debt repayments 
of $105 million, dividend payments of $17 million and Company stock 
purchases of $10 million were funded by cash generated from operations 
of $143 million.  

On July 11, 1996, the Company restructured its $2 billion revolving 
credit line into a $700 million 364 day facility and a $1.3 billion 5 
year facility.  Borrowing costs and facility fees are based upon 
the achievement of certain financial ratios.  At September 30, 1996, in 
addition to the $320 million outstanding under its 6.77% Senior Notes, 
$870 million remained outstanding under the $2 billion facility.  The 
outstanding revolving debt on September 30, 1996 carried an interest 
rate of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 20.5 basis 
points.

The total number of shares purchased under the Company's various open 
market Common Stock repurchase programs was approximately 71.3 million 
as of September 30, 1996.  In July 1996, the Company's Board of 
Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 18.75 million 
shares.  This brought the total shares available for repurchase at 
September 30, 1996 to approximately 37.4 million. All share amounts 
reflect both the August 1995 and the June 1996 3-for-2 stock splits.  

On October 11, 1996, the Company commenced a tender offer for all the 
issued and outstanding shares of Cheyenne Software, Inc. ("Cheyenne") at 
$30.50 per share.  The transaction, pending regulatory approval and 
expiration of the tender offer, is valued at approximately $1.2 billion. 
 
The Company plans to fund the purchase price through existing cash, cash 
equivalents and marketable securities balances as well as the existing 
credit facilities.

The Company's other capital resource requirements as of September 30, 
1996 consisted of lease obligations for office space, computer 
equipment, mortgage or loan obligations and amounts due as a 
result of product and company acquisitions.  It is expected that 
existing cash, cash equivalents, short term marketable securities, the 
availability of borrowings under committed and uncommitted credit 
lines, as well as cash provided from operations, will be sufficient to 
meet ongoing cash requirements.

<PAGE> 7

               (B)  General.  Shares of stock of any class of the 
corporation may be issued from time to time for such consideration as 
may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, but not less 
than the par value of shares of stock having a par value; and any and 
all such shares so issued, the full consideration for which shall have 
been paid or delivered, shall be deemed fully paid and non-assessable 
stock and not liable to any further call or assessment thereon.

               (C)  Preferred Stock.

                    (a) The Preferred Stock shall have no voting powers 
and shall be issued from time to time in one or more series with such 
distinctive serial designations and (i) may be entitled to receive 
dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative), at such rate or 
rates, or upon such conditions, and at such times, and payable in 
preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any 
other class or classes of stock; (ii) may have such rights upon the 
dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the 
corporation; (iii) may be made convertible into, or exchangeable for, 
shares of any other class or classes of stock of the corporation, at 
such price or prices or at such rates of exchange, and with such 
adjustments; and (iv) shall have such other relative, participating, 
optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or 
restrictions thereof, all as shall hereafter be stated and expressed in 
the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such Preferred 
Stock from time to time adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to 
authority so to do which is hereby granted to and vested in the Board.

                    (b) Each outstanding share of Preferred Stock 
shall, at the request of the holder thereof, be redeemed by the 
corporation at any time after May 31, 1985.  The redemption price shall 
be an amount equal to the liquidation preference value of the share of 
Preferred Stock sought to be redeemed, plus declared but unpaid 
dividends on the date fixed for redemption and such redemption price 
shall be paid out of funds legally available therefor.  The corporation 
shall also have the right, at its option and at any time or from time to 
time, to redeem, in whole or in part, the outstanding shares of 
Preferred Stock at the same redemption price.  In each case, the request 
of the holder or the corporation for redemption shall be delivered in 
writing and such request shall designate the date of redemption in 
accordance with Paragraph (e) (3) of Section FOURTH (D) below.  In the 

<PAGE> 8

event of a redemption at the request of the corporation where less than 
all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares 
to be redeemed shall be chosen by lot or pro rata or by such other 
equitable method and in such manner as the Board of Directors of the 
corporation may determine.  Matters relating to notice, deposit or funds 
and effective date of each redemption shall be governed by the 
procedures set forth in Paragraphs (e) (3) and (e) (4) of Section FOURTH 
(D) below.

               (D)  Class A Stock.

                    (a) In each year the holders of shares of 
Class A Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any dividends shall 
be declared and paid upon or set aside for the common Stock in such 
year, but after all dividends shall have been declared and paid upon or 
set aside for the Preferred Stock in such year, when and as declared by 
the Board of Directors of the corporation, out of funds legally 
available for that purpose, cash dividends at the rate of $.25 per share 
per annum, and no more, payable annually on the last day of June of such 
year.  In the event that the aggregate dividends declared in any year 
shall be insufficient to pay all shares of Preferred Stock, then no 
dividend shall be payable to the holders of Class A Stock.  Dividends 
upon Class A Stock shall not be cumulative.

                    (b) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or 
winding-up of the corporation, the holders of shares of Class A Stock 
then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the 
corporation available for distribution to its shareholders, whether from 
capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made to the 
holders of any stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Class A Stock 
(with respect to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the 
Class A Stock shall rank prior to the Common Stock) an amount equal to 
$4.10 per share, subject, however, to appropriate adjustments to reflect 
stock dividends, split-ups, combinations, reorganizations, 
reclassifications or similar changes of the outstanding shares of Class 
A Stock.  If after payment of the full amounts of the liquidation 
preference to which the holders of shares of Preferred Stock are 
entitled, the assets of the corporation available for distribution to 
its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of 
Class A Stock the full amounts to which they respectively shall be 
entitled, the holders of shares of Class A Stock and any class of stock 
ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Class A Stock shall share 
ratable in any distribution of assets according to the respective 

<PAGE> 9

amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them 
upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such 
shares were paid in full.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution 
or winding-up of the corporation after payment shall have been made to 
the holders of shares of Class A Stock of the full amount to which they 
shall be entitled as aforesaid, the holders of any class or classes of 
stock ranking on liquidation junior to the Class A Stock shall be 
entitled, to the exclusion of the holders of shares of Class A Stock, to 
share according to their respective rights and preferences in all 
remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution to its 
shareholders.  The merger or consolidation of the corporation into or 
with another corporation, the merger or consolidation of any other 
corporation into or with the corporation, or the sale, transfer, 
mortgage, pledge or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of 
the corporation shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or 
winding-up of the corporation.

                    (c) The holders of shares of Class A Stock shall 
have no voting powers.

                    (d) (1) The Class A Stock shall be convertible, at 
the option of the respective holders thereof, at the basic conversion 
rate (such rate being subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of 
twelve (12), i.e. one share of Class A Stock for each twelve shares of 
Common Stock, at any time after the first to occur of any of the 
following events:

                        (i)   the effective date of a Registration 
Statement on Form S-1 (or any other form for the general registration of 
securities) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an Offering 
Circular under Regulation A of the General Rules and Regulations under 
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or otherwise filed by the 
corporation relating to any public offering of shares of Common Stock of 
the corporation or of securities convertible into shares of Common Stock 
of the corporation; or 

                        (ii)  the effective date of a merger or 
consolidation of the corporation with or into another corporation, where 
the corporation is not the surviving corporation or where the 
corporation, by reason of such merger or consolidation, becomes a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation or the date on which the 
Board of Directors of the corporation shall have finally approved any 
merger or consolidation concerning the corporation where, under the 

<PAGE> 10

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, such merger or 
consolidation, (x) shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders 
of the corporation and (y) as to which the holders of shares of Class A 
Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class thereon, whichever 
date shall first be applicable; or

                        (iii) the effective date of a merger or 
consolidation of the corporation with or into another corporation, where 
the corporation is the surviving corporation but where the shareholders 
of the corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation no 
longer own or control, after such merger or consolidation, more than 50% 
of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the 
surviving corporation; or

                        (iv) the closing date relating to the conveyance 
of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation to another 
corporation or the date on which the Board of Directors of the 
corporation shall have finally approved such a transaction where, under 
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, such transaction 
(x) shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the 
corporation and (y) as to which the holders of shares of Class A Stock 
shall be entitled to vote separately as a class thereon, whichever date 
shall first be applicable; or

                        (v) the last day of any calendar year during 
which there shall have been sales of voting stock of the corporation by 
the shareholders of the corporation, in the aggregate, in excess of 80% 
of all outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote for the 
election of directors at a meeting of the shareholders duly called and 
held for such purpose; provided, however, sales by any shareholder to 
the corporation or to any other shareholder and sales or transfers to 
the spouse and/or children of a shareholder, to a trust for the benefit 
of such spouse and/or children, pursuant to the Last Will and Testament 
of a shareholder, pursuant to the laws of intestate succession or to a 
committee appointed for the benefit of an incompetent shareholder shall 
not be construed as sales of voting stock for the purposes of this 
Paragraph (v); or

                        (vi) the date on which the Board of Directors or 
the corporation shall have initially approved a matter of transaction 
which, under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (x) 
shall be subject to the approval of the shareholders of the corporation 

<PAGE> 11

and (y) as to which the holders of shares of Class A Stock shall be 
entitled to vote separately as a class thereon; provided, however, that 
any event set forth in this Paragraph (vi) shall not be applicable if 
such event occurs prior to February 28, 1985; or

                        (vii) as to any particular shares of Class A 
Stock, after the expiration of twenty-five (25) years from the date of 
issuance of such share of Class A Stock; or

                        (viii) as to any particular share of Class A 
Stock, after the expiration of five (5) years after the corporation 
shall have had the right to redeem, but shall not have redeemed, such 
share of Class A Stock pursuant to the provisions set forth in Paragraph 
(e) (2) of this Section FOURTH (D).  Upon the occurrence of any of the 
events set forth in this Paragraph (d) (1), the corporation shall 
immediately send a written notice to the relevant holders of Class A 
Stock informing them of their right to convert their shares of Class A 
Stock into shares of Common Stock.  Notwithstanding any provision to the 
contrary, any share of Class A Stock, as to which the corporation shall 
have delivered a notice of redemption pursuant to Paragraph (e) (3) of 
this Section FOURTH (D), shall no longer be convertible from and after 
the date of such notice of redemption and any request for conversion 
received by the corporation after such date relating to any such share 
of Class A Stock shall be invalid and of no force and effect.

                        (2) Any holder of Class A Stock electing to 
convert shall surrender the certificates representing the shares to be 
converted at the principal office of the corporation, with the form of 
written request for conversion, and such certificates shall be duly 
endorsed or assigned in blank or to the corporation (if required by it). 
 
The conversion right shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately 
prior to the close of business or the date on which the certificate for 
the Class A Stock, with the request for conversion duly endorsed 
thereon, shall have been so surrendered, and the person entitled to 
receive  the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated 
for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock on said date, 
unless the transfer books of the corporation are closed on that date, in 
which event he shall be deemed to have become a shareholder of record on 
the next succeeding date on which the transfer books are open.  The 
corporation shall not be required, in connection with any such 
conversion, to issue a fraction of a share of its Common Stock, but in 
lieu thereof, the corporation shall make a cash payment equal to such 

<PAGE> 12

fraction multiplied by the market price of the Common Stock determined 
as hereinafter set forth unless the Board of Directors shall determine 
to adjust fractional shares by the issuance of fractional scrip 
certificates or in some other manner.  The market price of the Common 
Stock for the purposes of computing any payment to be made for 
fractional shares shall be the closing sales price (or if there were no 
sales, the closing bid price) on the principal stock exchange on which 
the Common Stock is listed or, if the Common Stock is not so listed, the 
closing bid price in the over-the-counter market, as of the close of 
business on the date of conversion, or, if the Common Stock is not 
publicly traded, the market price determined by the Board of Directors 
of the corporation.

                        (3) As soon as practicable after the conversion 
of any Class A Stock into Common Stock, the corporation shall deliver to 
the person entitled thereto, at the principal office of the corporation, 
certificates representing shares of Common Stock, and the cash, if any, 
to which such person shall be entitled.  The corporation, as a condition 
to the exercise of any right of conversion, may require the payment of a 
sum equal to any transfer tax or other governmental charge (but not 
including any tax payable upon the issue of stock deliverable upon such 
conversion) that may be imposed or required by law upon any transfer 
incidental or prior thereto, or the submission of proper proof that the 
same has been paid.

                        (4) The conversion rate in effect hereunder at 
any time shall be adjusted in each of the following cases:

                        (i) In case the outstanding shares of Common 
Stock  shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common 
Stock, by reclassification or otherwise than the payment of a dividend 
in Common Stock , then the conversion rate in effect shall, upon the 
effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased.  In 
case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or 
consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of 
shares of Common Stock, the conversion rate then in effect shall, upon 
the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased.  

                        (ii) In case the corporation shall pay a 
dividend or make a distribution upon its Common Stock, in Common  Stock, 

<PAGE> 13

then in each such case, from and after the record date for determining 
the shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, the 
conversion rate then in effect shall be increased in proportion to the 
increase in the number of outstanding shares of  Common Stock affected 
by such dividend or distribution.  

                        (iii) No adjustment of the conversion rate shall 
be made by reason of the issuance of Common Stock in exchange for cash, 
property or services. 

                        (iv) In case of any capital reorganization or 
any reclassification of the capital stock of the corporation other than 
pursuant to subparagraph (4)(i) or (4)(ii) above or in case of the 
consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into another 
corporation where the corporation is not the surviving corporation, or 
the conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the 
corporation to another corporation, the conversion rate then in effect 
shall be adjusted so that each share of the Class A Stock shall 
thereafter be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other 
securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of 
Common Stock of the corporation deliverable upon conversion of such 
shares of the Class A Stock would have been entitled upon such 
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or conveyance; 
and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined by the 
Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions 
set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of 
the holders of  Class A Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth 
herein (including the provisions with respect to adjustments of the 
conversion rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably 
may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter 
deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of Class A Stock.   

                        (5) Whenever the conversion rate is required to 
be adjusted as provided herein, the corporation shall forthwith compute 
the adjusted conversion rate and shall prepare a certificate setting 
forth such adjusted conversion rate and showing in detail the facts upon 
which such adjustment is based.   Such certificate shall be maintained 
at the principal office of the corporation and thereafter, until further 
adjusted, the adjusted conversion rate shall be as set forth in said 
certificate, provided that if, upon regular audit, the corporation's 
independent public accountants determine that such conversion rate shall 
be adjusted, a corrected certificate will be prepared and maintained by 
the corporation.  The corporation shall mail or cause to be mailed to 

<PAGE> 14

the holders of Class A Stock as soon as practicable after the close of 
each fiscal year of the corporation a statement setting forth the 
adjustments, if any, made in the applicable conversion rate during such 
year and the reasons for such adjustments. 

                        (6) So long as any shares of the Class A Stock 
remain outstanding, the corporation will at all times reserve from its 
authorized Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provided for 
such conversion and will take such corporate action, in the event of an 
adjustment in the conversion rate, as may be necessary in order that it 
may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of 
Common Stock upon conversion of the Class A Stock.  

                        (7) Any shares of Class A Stock which shall have 
been converted into Common Stock or acquired by the corporation through 
redemption, as hereinafter provided, shall be canceled and not reissued. 

                        (8) In case at any time after the date on which 
the shares of  Class A Stock may first be converted into shares of 
Common Stock as heretofore provided: 

                        (i) the corporation shall make any distribution 
(other than cash dividends or dividends payable in shares of its Common 
Stock requiring an adjustment in the conversion rate then in effect 
pursuant to subparagraph (4)(ii) (above); or

                        (ii) the corporation shall offer for 
subscription pro rata to the holders of its Common Stock any additional 
shares of any class or any other right; then, and in any one or more of 
such cases, the corporation shall cause at least fifteen (15) days' 
prior written notice to be mailed to the holders of record of the Class 
A Stock, of the date on which the books of the corporation shall close, 
or a record be taken, for such distribution or subscription rights.  
Such notice shall  also specify the date as of which holders of Common 
Stock of record shall participate in said distribution or subscription 
rights. 

                   (e)  (1) The Class A Stock may be redeemed in whole 
or in part by the corporation at any time after the expiration of thirty 
(30) days after the first to occur of any of the events set forth in 
Paragraphs (d)(1)(i), (d)(1)(ii), (d)(1)(iii), (d)(1)(iv), (d)(1)(v), 

<PAGE> 15

(d)(1)(vi) and (d)(1)(vii).  The redemption price per share to be paid 
by the corporation shall be equal to the Formula Price per share, as 
hereinafter defined, plus declared but unpaid dividends on the date 
fixed for redemption and such redemption price shall be paid out of 
funds legally available therefor.  Except as provided  in Paragraph (e) 
(2) below, if less than all outstanding shares of Class A Stock are to 
be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be chosen by lot or pro 
rata or by such other equitable method and in such manner as the Board 
of Directors of the corporation may determine. 

                        (2) Inasmuch as the shares of Class A Stock are 
intended to be issued to the employees of the corporation, any shares of 
Class A Stock held by any employee or his Permitted Transferee (as 
hereinafter defined), at the time of the termination of the full-time 
employment of the employee with the corporation for any reason or 
immediately prior to a sale or other transfer of any shares of Class A 
Stock by any employee or his Permitted Transferee to any person other 
than the corporation or a Permitted Transferee, may be redeemed in whole 
or in part, by the corporation, at any time or from time to time, at the 
redemption price (as hereinafter defined) as of the date fixed for 
redemption, plus declared but unpaid dividends on the date fixed for 
redemption and such redemption price shall be paid out of funds legally 
available therefor; provided, however, that if the termination of the 
employment of the employee is by reason of his death or total disability 
while in the full-time employment of the corporation, the corporation's 
right to redeem any shares of Class A Stock held by the deceased or 
disabled employee or his Permitted Transferee shall be limited, during 
the one year period after the date of such termination, to a non-
cumulative maximum to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares 
of Class A Stock held by such employee or his Permitted Transferee at 
the time of such termination  of employment and an additional twenty 
percent (20%) during each one year period for fours years thereafter.  
The right of the corporation to redeem shares of Class A Stock pursuant 
to this Paragraph (e) (2) shall be in addition to any rights which it 
may have pursuant to Paragraph (e) (1) above.  Solely for the purposes 
of this Paragraph (e) (2), full-time employment with an affiliated 
company of the corporation shall be deemed to be full-time employment 
with this corporation.  The right of the corporation to redeem shares of 
Class A Stock pursuant to this Paragraph (e) (2) shall be applicable 
whether or not the shares of Class A Stock sought to be redeemed are 
held by the employee, his Permitted Transferee or any other holder of 
such shares.  

<PAGE> 16

                        (3) Notice of such proposed redemption of Class 
A Stock shall be given by the corporation by mailing a copy of such 
notice at least fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) days prior to 
the date fixed for such redemption to each holder of record of the 
shares of Class A Stock to be redeemed, at his address appearing on the 
books of the corporation; provided, however, that such notice of 
redemption shall not be dated prior to the expiration of the period of 
thirty (30) days referred to in Paragraph (e) (1) of this Section FOURTH 
(D).  If on or before the redemption date specified in such notice all 
funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the 
corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the 
pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares so called for redemption 
so as to be and continue for a period of ten (10) years to be available 
therefor, then from and after the date of redemption so designated, 
notwithstanding that any certificate for shares of Class A Stock so 
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, 
the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed outstanding, 
and all rights with  respect to such shares of Class A Stock so called 
for redemption shall forthwith, on such redemption dated, cease and 
terminate except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the 
redemption price of such shares to be redeemed but without interest 
thereon. 

                        (4) The corporation may, however, prior to the 
redemption date specified in the notice of redemption, deposit in trust 
for the account of the holders of shares of Class A Stock to be 
redeemed, with a bank or trust company in good standing, organized under 
the laws of the United States of America or of the State of New York 
doing business in the City of New York, State of New York and having a 
capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $5,000,000, 
designated in such notice of redemption, all funds necessary for such 
redemption, together with irrevocable written instructions authorizing 
such bank or trust company, on behalf and at the expense of the 
corporation, to cause the notice of redemption to be mailed as herein 
provided at least fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) days prior 
to the redemption date and to include in said notice of redemption a 
statement that all funds necessary for such redemption have been so 
deposited in trust, for a period of ten (10) years and are immediately 
available, and thereupon, notwithstanding that any certificate for 

<PAGE> 17

shares of Class A Stock so called for redemption shall not have been 
surrendered for cancellation, all shares of Class A Stock with respect 
to which such deposit shall have been made shall no longer be deemed to 
be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares of Class A 
Stock shall forthwith, upon such deposit in trust, cease and terminate, 
except only the right of the holders thereof to received from such bank 
or trust company, at any time after the time of such deposit, the 
redemption price of such shares so to be redeemed, but without interest 
thereon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, no deposit 
pursuant to this Paragraph (e)(4) shall be made prior to the expiration 
of the period of thirty (30) days referred to in Paragraph (e)(1) of 
this Section FOURTH (D).  In the event the holder of any such shares of 
Class A Stock shall not, within ten (10) years after the redemption 
date, claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, the 
depositary shall, upon the request of the corporation expressed in a 
resolution by its Board of Directors, pay over to the corporation such 
unclaimed amount, and such depository shall thereupon be relieved of all 
responsibility to such holders.  Any monies deposited by the corporation 
which shall not be required for redemption for any reason and any 
interest accrued on any monies so deposited, shall be repaid to the 
corporation upon similar request.

                        (5) For purposes of this Certificate of 
Incorporation, the "Formula Price" per share of Class A Stock shall be 
an amount equal to (i) the net tangible book value per share of Common 
Stock as reflected in the balance sheet of the corporation as of the 
last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the date or event 
requiring a determination of the Formula Price plus an amount equal to 
1% of such net tangible book value per share of Common Stock for each 
full month intervening between the last day of such fiscal year and the 
date or event requiring a determination of the Formula Price divided by 
(ii) the then prevailing conversion rate as determined by Paragraph 
(d)(5).  The balance sheet on which the net tangible book value per 
share of Common Stock will be based shall be prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles, provided that any "good will" 
items, patents, trademarks and intangible assets, including any 
contracts with third parties, shall be deemed to be of no value unless 
such assets shall have been acquired and paid for in cash or other 
tangible assets and in such event, if any, the value thereof shall be 
taken at the amount paid or the value of the tangible assets exchanged 
therefor less any amortization thereof.  In each case in which the 
Formula Price must be determined, the balance sheet employed to 
determine the Formula Price shall be the audited balance sheet as of the 

<PAGE> 18

last day of such fiscal year as reported upon by the regular independent 
certified public accountants for the corporation.  The Formula Price 
determined pursuant to this paragraph (e)(5) shall be conclusive and 
binding, for all purposes, on the corporation and on the holders of the 
Class A Stock.

                        (6) For purposes of this Certificate of 
Incorporation, the term "Permitted Transferee" shall mean the spouse, 
children, heirs, executors, administrators or legal representatives of 
the employee or any trust for the benefit of the spouse and/or children 
of the employee.

                   (E)  Common Stock.

                        (a) Each holder of Common Stock shall be 
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.  Each share of 
Common Stock issued and outstanding shall be identical in all respects 
one with the other, and no dividends shall be paid on any share of 
Common Stock unless the same dividend is paid on all shares of Common 
Stock outstanding at the time of such payment.  Except for and subject 
to those rights expressly granted to, and limitations imposed on, the 
holders of Preferred Stock and Class A Stock, or except as may be 
provided by the laws of the State of Delaware,

                        (i) in the event of any distribution of assets 
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation or 
otherwise, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have the right to 
receive ratably and equally all the assets and funds of the corporation 
remaining after the payment to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock 
and Class A Stock of the corporation of the specific amounts which they 
are entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up 
of the corporation as provided above, and

                        (ii) the holders of shares of Common Stock shall 
have exclusively all other rights of shareholders including, but not by 
way of limitation, the right to receive dividends, when and as declared 
by the Board of Directors out of assets legally available therefor.

      FIFTH: The corporation is to have perpetual existence.

      SIXTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed 
between this corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or 
between this corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any 

<PAGE> 19

court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the 
application in a summary way of this corporation or of any creditor or 
stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers 
appointed for this corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of 
Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in 
dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this 
corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the 
Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, 
and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this corporation, 
as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court 
directs.  If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of 
the creditors or class of creditors, and/or the stockholders or class of 
stockholders of this corporation, as the case may be, agree to any 
compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this corporation 
as consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or 
arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the 
court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the 
creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class 
of stockholders, of this corporation, as the case may be, and also on 
this corporation.

      SEVENTH: For the management of the business and for the conduct 
of the affairs of the corporation, and in further definition, limitation 
and regulation of the powers of the corporation and of its directors and 
of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is 
further provided:

      1. The management of the business and the conduct of the 
affairs of the corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors.  
The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of 
Directors shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws. 
The phrase "Whole Board" and the phrase "total number of directors" 
shall be deemed to have the same meaning, to wit, the total number of 
directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies.  
No election of directors need by written ballot.

      2. The original By-Laws of the corporation shall be adopted by 
the incorporator.  Thereafter, the power to make, alter, or repeal, the 
By-Laws, and to adopt any new By-Law, except a By-Law classifying 
directors for election for staggered terms, shall be vested in the Board 
of Directors.

      3. Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue only 
one class of stock, each outstanding share shall entitle the holder 
thereof to notice of, and the right to vote at, any meeting of 
stockholders.  Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue 

<PAGE> 20

more than one class of stock, no outstanding share of any class of stock 
which is denied voting power under the provisions of the certificate of 
incorporation shall entitle the holder thereof to the right to vote at 
any meeting of stockholders except as the provisions of Paragraph (c)(2) 
of Section 242 of the General Corporation Law shall otherwise require; 
provided, that no share of any such class which is otherwise denied 
voting power shall entitle the holder thereof to vote upon the increase 
or decrease in the number of authorized shares of said class.

      EIGHTH: The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted 
by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as the same 
may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it 
shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any 
and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or 
covered by said section, and the indemnification provided for herein, 
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those 
indemnified may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of 
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action 
in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while 
holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to 
be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit 
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

      NINTH: From time to time any of the provisions of this 
certificate of incorporation may be amended, altered or repealed, and 
other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the 
time in force may be added or inserted in the manner and at the time 
prescribed by said laws, and all rights at any time conferred upon the 
stockholders of the corporation by this certificate of incorporation are 
granted subject to the provisions of this Article NINTH.

      4. That the restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation has 
been duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 245 of 
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and that the 
Restated Certificate only restates and integrates and does not further 
amend the provisions of the corporation's Certificate of Incorporation 
as theretofore amended or supplemented, and that there is no discrepancy 
between those provisions and the provisions of the Restated Certificate 
of Incorporation.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the corporation has caused this certificate 
to be signed and attested by its officers thereunto duly authorized and 
its corporate seal to be affixed this 23rd day of October, 1991.

                   CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF THE
                   CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
                COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                _______________________________________

               Computer Associates International, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation, in order to amend its Certificate of Incorporation hereby 
certifies, pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the 
State of Delaware, as follows:

               FIRST: The Board of Directors of said corporation has 
duly adopted the following resolution proposing amendments to the 
Certificate of Incorporation and declaring its advisability:

               "That the Certificate of Incorporation be amended (i) to 
     increase the number of shares of Common Stock, par value Ten Cents 
     ($.10) per share, authorized for issuance from five million      
     (5,000,000) to twenty-five million (25,000,000) and (ii) to 
     eliminate the previously authorized class of fifteen thousand 
     (15,000) shares of Class A Stock, par value One Dollar ($1.00) per 
     share, none of which shares of Class A Stock is outstanding.

               The text of the proposed amendments to the Certificate 
of Incorporation shall be as follows:

                1. That the Article FOURTH of the Certificate of   
     Incorporation be amended by deleting such Article FOURTH in its    
  
     entirety and substituting therefor the following:

                "FOURTH: (A)	Number.  The total number of shares of 
     capital stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue  
 
     is twenty-five million ten thousand (25,010,000) of which (i) ten 
     thousand (10,000) shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of One 
     Dollar ($1.00) per share, and (ii) twenty-five million (25,000,000) 
     shall be Common Stock of the par value of ten cents ($.10) per 
     share.

<PAGE> 2

                         (B)	General.  Shares of stock of any class of 
     the corporation may be issued from time to time for such   
     consideration as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of    
  
     Directors, but not less than the par value of shares of stock 
     having a par value; and any and all such shares so issued, the full 
     consideration for which shall have been paid or delivered, shall be 
     deemed fully paid and non-assessable stock and not liable to any 
     further call or assessment thereon.

                         (C)	Preferred Stock.

                         (a)  The Preferred Stock shall have no voting  
     powers and shall be issued from time to time in one or more series 
     with such distinctive serial designations and (i) may be entitled 
     to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative), 
     at such rate or rates, or upon such conditions, and at such times, 
     and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends 
     payable on any other class or classes of stock; (ii) may have such 
     rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the 
     assets of, the corporation; (iii) may be made convertible into, or 
     exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock of 
     the corporation, at such price or prices or at such rates of 
     exchange, and with such adjustments; and (iv) shall have such other 
     relative, participating, optional or other special rights, 
     qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all as shall 
     hereafter be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions 
     providing for the issue of such Preferred Stock from time to time 

<PAGE> 3

     adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to authority so to do 
     which is hereby granted to and vested in the Board.

                         (b) Each outstanding share of Preferred Stock 
     shall, at the request of the holder thereof, be redeemed by the 
     corporation at any time after May 31, 1985.  The redemption price 
     shall be an amount equal to the liquidation preference value of the 
     share of Preferred Stock sought to be redeemed, plus declared but 
     unpaid dividends on the date fixed for redemption and such 
     redemption price shall be paid out of funds legally available  
     therefor. The corporation shall also have the right, at its option 
     and at any time or from time to time, to redeem, in whole or in 
     part, the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at the same 
     redemption price.  In each case, the request of the holder or the 
     corporation for redemption shall be delivered in writing and such 
     request shall designate the date of redemption in accordance with 
     Paragraph (c) of Section FOURTH (C) below.  In the event of a   
     redemption at the request of the corporation where less than all 
     outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the 
     shares to be redeemed shall be chosen by lot or pro rata or by such 
     other equitable method and in such manner as the Board of Directors 
     of the corporation may determine.

                         (c) Notice of any proposed redemption of  
     Preferred Stock shall be given by the corporation or the holder 
     thereof by mailing a copy of such notice at least fifteen (15) and 
     not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such 
     redemption to each holder of record of the shares of Preferred 

<PAGE> 4

     Stock to be redeemed, at his address appearing on the books of the 
     corporation.  If on or before the redemption date specified in such 
     notice all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set 
     aside by the corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, 
     in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares so 
     called for redemption so as to be and continue for a period of ten 
     (10) years to be available therefor, then from and after the date 
     of redemption so designated, notwithstanding that any certificate 
     for shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall 
     not have been surrendered for cancellation, the shares represented 
     thereby shall no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights with 
     respect to such shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption 
     shall forthwith, on such redemption date, cease and terminate 
     except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the 
     redemption price of such shares so to be redeemed, but without 
     interest thereon.

                         (d) The corporation may, however, prior to the 
     redemption date specified in the notice of redemption, deposit in 
     trust for the account of the holders of the shares of Preferred 
     Stock to be redeemed, with a bank or trust company in good 
     standing, organized under the laws of the United States of America 
     or of the State of New York doing business in the City of New York, 
     State of New York and having a capital, surplus and undivided 
     profits aggregating at least $5,000,000, designated in such notice 
     of redemption, all funds necessary for such redemption, together 
     with irrevocable written instructions authorizing such bank  or 

<PAGE> 5

     trust company, on behalf and at the expense of the corporation, to 
     cause the notice of redemption to be mailed as herein provided at  
     least fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the 
     redemption date and to include in said notice of redemption a 
     statement that all funds necessary for such redemption have been so 
     deposited in trust, for a period of ten (10) years and are 
     immediately available, and thereupon, notwithstanding that any 
     certificate for shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption 
     shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, all shares of 
     Preferred Stock with respect to which such deposit shall have been 
     made shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights  
     with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall forthwith, 
     upon such deposit in trust, cease and terminate, except only the 
     right of the holders thereof to receive from such bank or trust 
     company, at any time after the time of such deposit, the redemption 
     price of such shares so to be redeemed, but without interest 
     thereon.  In the event the holder of any such shares of Preferred 
     Stock shall not, within ten (10) years after the redemption date, 
     claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, the 
     depositary shall, upon the request of the corporation expressed in 
     a resolution by its Board of Directors, pay over to the corporation 
     such unclaimed amount, and such depositary shall thereupon be 
     relieved of all responsibility to such holders.  Any monies 
     deposited by the corporation which shall not be required for 
     redemption for any reason and any interest accrued on any monies so 
     deposited, shall be repaid to the corporation upon similar request.

                         (D) Common Stock.

                         (a) Each holder of Common Stock shall be  
     entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held.  Each 
     share of Common Stock issued and outstanding shall be identical in 
     all respects one with the other, and no dividends shall be paid on 
     any share of Common Stock unless the same dividend is paid on all 
     shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of such payment.  
     Except for and subject to those rights expressly granted to, and 
     limitations imposed on, the holders of Preferred Stock, or except 
     as may be provided by the laws of the State of Delaware,

                         (i) in the event of any distribution of assets 
          upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation 
          or otherwise, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have 
          the right to receive ratably and equally all the assets and 
          funds of the corporation remaining after the payment to the 
          holders of shares of Preferred Stock of the corporation of the 
          specific amounts which they are entitled to receive upon such 
          liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation as 
          provided above, and

                         (ii) the holders of shares of Common Stock 
          shall have exclusively all other rights of shareholders 
          including, but not by way of limitation, the right to receive 
          dividends, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out 
          of assets legally available therefor.

<PAGE> 6

          SECOND:  In lieu of a meeting and vote of the shareholders, 
holders of outstanding shares of all classes of capital stock of the 
Corporation, including the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred 
Stock and Common Stock, have given written consents to said amendment in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 228 of the General Corporation 
Law of the State of Delaware which written consents have been filed with 
the Corporation and written notice thereof has been delivered pursuant

                 _______________________________________

          Computer Associates International, Inc., a Delaware 
corporation, in order to amend its Certificate of Incorporation hereby 
certifies, pursuant to Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the 
State of Delaware, as follows:

          FIRST: The holder of a majority of the outstanding shares 
of the Corporation's Common Stock, at a meeting duly called and held, 
adopted the following resolution amending the Corporation's Certificate 
of Incorporation:

          "That Article FOURTH of the Certificate of Incorporation be 
     amended by deleting such Article FOURTH in its entirety and 
     substituting therefor the following:

          FOURTH:  4.1	The total number of shares of all classes of 
     capital stock which the corporation shall have authority to issue  
     is two hundred sixty million (260,000,000) of which ten million 
     (10,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, Class A without par 
     value, issuable in one or more series, and two hundred fifty 
     million (250,000,000) shares will be Common Stock, par value $.10 
     per share.
 
          4.2 The Board of Directors is hereby expressly authorized, 
     at any time or from time to time, to divide any or all of the 
     shares of Preferred Stock, Class A, into one or more series, and in 
     the resolution or resolutions establishing a particular series, 
     before issuance of any of the shares thereof, to fix and determine 
     the number of shares and the designation of such series so as to 
     distinguish it from the shares of all other series and classes, and 
     to fix and determine the preferences, voting rights, 
     qualifications, privileges, limitations, options, conversion 
     rights, restrictions and other special or relative rights of 
     the Preferred Stock, Class A, or of such series to the fullest 
     extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of 
     Delaware, including, but not limited to, the variations between 
     different series in the following respects:
 
          (a) the distinctive designation of such series and the number 
 
              of shares which shall constitute such series, which number 
              may be increased or reduced (but not below the number of 
              shares thereof then outstanding) from time to time by the 
              Board of Directors;

<PAGE> 2

          (b) the annual dividend rate for such series, and the date or 
              dates from which dividends shall commence to accrue;
 
          (c) the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions 
              on which the shares of such series may be made redeemable;
 
          (d) the purchase of sinking fund provision, if any, for the  
              purchase or redemption of shares of such series;
 
          (e) the preferential amount or amounts payable upon shares of 
              such series in the event of the liquidation, dissolution 
              or winding up of the corporation;
 
          (f) the voting rights, if any, of shares of such series;
 
          (g) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which shares of 
              such series may be converted and the class or classes or 
              series of shares of the corporation, or other securities, 
              into which such shares may be converted;
 
          (h) the relative terms, qualifications, privileges, 
              limitations, options, restrictions, and special or 
              relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares of such 
              series as the Board of Directors may, at the time of such 
              resolution or resolutions, lawfully fix and determine 
              under the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
          Unless otherwise provided in a resolution or resolutions 
     establishing any particular series, the aggregate number of 
     authorized shares of Preferred Stock, Class A, may be increased by 
     an amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation approved solely by 
     a majority vote of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or 
     solely with a lesser vote of the Common Stock, or solely by action 
     of the Board of Directors, if permitted by law at the time).
 
          All shares of any one series shall be alike in every 
     particular, except with respect to the accrual of dividends     
     prior to the date of issuance.
 
          4.3 Except for and subject to those rights expressly 
     granted to the holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof by 
     resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors 
     pursuant to Section 4.2 of this Article Fourth and except as may be 
     provided by the laws of the State of Delaware, the holders of 
     Common Stock shall have exclusively all other rights of 
     shareholders.
 
          4.4 Shares of Common Stock of the corporation may be 
     issued from time to time for such consideration as may be fixed 
     from time to time by the Board of Directors, but not less than the 
     par value thereof; and any and all shares so issued, the full 

<PAGE> 3

     consideration for which shall have been paid and delivered, shall 
     be deemed fully paid and non-assessable stock and not liable to any 
     further call or assessment thereon."
 
          SECOND:  The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares 
     of the Corporation's Common Stock, at a meeting duly called and 
     held, adopted the following resolution amending the Corporation's 
     Certificate of Incorporation:
          
          "That the Certificate of Incorporation be amended by adding 
     a new Article TENTH as follows:
 
          TENTH:  No director shall be personally liable to the 
     corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach 
     of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except (i) for 
     breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its 
     shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which 
     involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) 
     pursuant to Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or 
     (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an 
     improper personal benefit.  If the General Corporation Law of 
     Delaware is amended after approval by the shareholders of this 
     article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or 
     limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of 
     a director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the 
     full extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, 
     as so amended.
 
          Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the 
     shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any 
     right or protection of a director of the corporation existing at 
     the time of such repeal or modification."

<PAGE> 4
 		
          THIRD: said amendments have been duly adopted in accordance 
     with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of 
     Delaware.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the said Corporation has caused this 
     Certificate to be signed and attested by its officers thereunto
