                Report of Independent Auditors

Administrative Committee
Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan (the Plan) as of March 
30, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets 
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements 
are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at 
March 30, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for 
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental 
schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of March 30, 1998, and 
reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes 
of complying with the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for 
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 
1974, and are not a required part of the financial statements. The 
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied 
in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly 
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken 
as a whole.

                      Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                March 30, 1998

1. Description of the Plan

General

The following description of the Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan 
(the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the 
Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible salaried 
employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to 
employee contributions as of the first of the month following date of hire. 
Eligibility with respect to employer matching and discretionary contributions 
occurs in the month following completion of one full year of service to Computer
Associates International, Inc. (the Company). The Plan is subject to the 
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

As a result of an acquisition by the Company, the assets of the 
Preferred Systems, Inc. 401 (k) Savings Plan were transferred into the Plan 
during the Plan year ended March 30, 1997. Substantially all the assets of the
Legent Retirement Security were transferred into the Plan during the Plan year 
end March 30, 1996, with the remaining assets being transferred into the Plan 
during the Plan year ended March 30, 1997. The Company also acquired Cheyenne 
Software, Inc. during the Plan year ended March 30, 1997; however, the assets
of the Cheyenne Software, Inc. 401 (k) Plan were not transferred into the Plan
until the first quarter of the 1998 Plan year. The Plan was amended for these 
acquisitions.

Contributions

During each payroll period, Plan participants may elect to contribute a 
percentage of their base compensation ranging from 2% to 15%. Each participant 
can change this election at any time, but not more than once quarterly.

To comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, pre-tax contributions elected by 
any participant may not exceed $10,000 and $9,500 for the calendar years ended 
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Participants may contribute on an 
after-tax basis as well.

For eligible participants, the Company makes a matching contribution to the 
Plan on behalf of each participant equal to 50% of such participants 
contribution up to a maximum of 2.5% of

the participants base compensation. (Contributions are subject to certain 
IRS limitations).The matching contributions for the years ended March 30, 1998 
and 1997 were $5,427,488 and $4,946,628, of which $3,154,244 and $4,917,947
was funded from Plan forfeitures, respectively.

In addition to its matching contribution, the Company may contribute to the 
Plan on behalf of eligible participants, a discretionary contribution in an 
amount that the Board of Directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, 
determine. The discretionary contributions for the years ended March 30, 1998 
and 1997 were $16,864,631 and $15,592,381, respectively. The discretionary 
contribution is allocated to each participant generally in the same ratio that 
the participants base compensation for the Plan year bears to the base 
compensation of all participants for such Plan year. In fiscal year 1997, the 
Plan was amended to allow for the use of forfeitures for Company discretionary 
contributions. The discretionary contribution for the year ended March 30, 1998 
consisted of 299,150 common shares of the Company valued at $16,864,631. The 
discretionary contribution for the year ended March 30, 1997 was funded 
with $4,000,000 from Plan forfeitures and 263,463 common shares of the 
Company valued at $11,592,381.

Participant Accounts

A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each 
participant and reflects the participants balance invested therein. Such 
balance includes earnings and losses allocated to the participants accounts 
based upon the percentage investment of the account balance to the total fund 
balances.  Forfeited balances of terminated participants nonvested accounts may 
be used to reduce future company contributions and fund plan expenses.

Vesting

The matching and discretionary contributions made by the Company vest as 
follows:

           Percentage of Vesting        After Years of Services
           ---------------------        -----------------------
                    20%                            3

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

In addition, 100% vesting occurs upon death or total disability of a 
participant, upon attainment of normal retirement age, or upon termination of 
the Plan.

Investment Options

The assets of the Plan are invested by Fidelity in eight separate funds:

fixed income obligations with intermediate maturities.

Fidelity Puritan Fund, which invests in a wide variety of securities of U.S. 
and foreign issuers, including some emerging markets.

Fidelity U.S. Equity Index, which invests primarily in the common stock of the 
500 companies that make up the Standard and Poors 500 index.

Fidelity Magellan Fund, which invests in common stock and securities 
convertible to common stock.

Fidelity Growth and Income Portfolio, which invests in common stock, 
securities convertible to common stock, preferred stock and fixed income 
securities.

Company.

Fidelity Retirement Money Market Portfolio, which invests in high quality, 
U.S. dollar denominated money market instruments.

1.  Description of the Plan (continued)

Payment of Benefits

The Plan provides for benefit distributions to Plan participants or their 
beneficiaries upon the participants retirement, termination of employment or 
death. Any participant may apply to withdraw all or part of his/her vested 
account balance subject to specific hardship withdrawal provision criteria in 
the Plan and the approval of Computer Associates Savings Harvest Plan Committee.

Participant Loans Receivable

Any participant may take a loan from his/her account based upon certain 
provisions of the Plan being met. Upon the death, retirement or termination of 
employment of the participant, the Plan may deduct the total unpaid balance or 
any portion thereof from any payment or distribution to which the participant 
or his beneficiaries may be entitled. Loans bear interest at market rates and 
are fixed at the time of application for the loan. The rate at March 30, 1998 
was 9.5%. All loans must be repaid in equal semi-monthly installments and 
generally extend from periods of one to five years.  Participant loan fees are 
borne by the participant and were $27,469 and $28,511 for Plan years 1998 and 
1997, and are included in administrative expenses.

Administrative Expenses

To the extent that the costs of recordkeeping and administration of the funds 
are not covered by Plan forfeitures, they are borne by the Company. Such costs 
for Plan years 1998 and 1997 were $70,102 and $98,002, respectively, and were 
covered by Plan forfeitures. 

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right 
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate 
the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments

Investments in Fidelity funds and Computer Associates Stock Fund are stated 
at fair value based upon quoted prices in published sources. The realized net 
gain or loss on sale of investments is the difference between the proceeds 
received and the average cost of investments sold. The unrealized net gain or 
loss is the difference between the fair value and the cost of investments for 
each year. These combined amounts are included in the statement of changes in 
net assets available for benefits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled on June 12, 1995, that the Plan 
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and its 
related trust is therefore exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501 of 
the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  
However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is 
currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the 
Code.

5. Year 2000 Issue (Unaudited)

The Plan Sponsor has developed a plan to modify its internal information 
technology to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data 
processing systems.  The project also includes determining whether third party 
providers have reasonable plans in place to become year 2000 compliant.  The 
Plan Sponsor currently expects the project to be substantially complete by
early 1999.  The Plan Sponsor does not expect this project to have a
significant effect on plan operations.

6. Subsequent Event (Unaudited) 

As of the Plan year end, the Computer Associates Stock Fund consisted 
principally of 5,072,945 shares valued at $57.75.  As of September 21, 1998,
the Computer Associates International, Inc. stock price was $31.50.  Therefore 
net assets available for such benefits has decreased by approximately 
$133,000,000.
