              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1999


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 three months ended June 30, 1999 are not  necessarily
indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March
31,  2000.  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, 1999.

Cash  Dividends:  In May 1999,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  declared its
regular,  semi-annual  cash dividend of $.04 per share. The dividend was paid on
July 19, 1999 to stockholders of record on June 29, 1999.

Statements  of Cash Flows:  For the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
interest  payments  were $78 million and $25  million  respectively,  and income
taxes paid were $106 million and $135 million, respectively.

Net Income per Share:  Basic  earnings  per share is computed  by  dividing  net
income  by the  weighted-average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum
of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus
the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities, such as stock options.

Software  Revenue  Recognition:   In  October  1997,  the  Accounting  Standards
Executive   Committee  ("AcSEC")  issued  Statement  of  Position  ("SOP")  97-2
"Software  Revenue  Recognition,"  as  amended  in 1998 by SOP 98-4 and  further
amended more recently by SOP 98-9, which is effective for  transactions  entered
into in fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999. These SOPs provide guidance
on applying generally accepted  accounting  principles in recognizing revenue on
software transactions,  requiring deferral of part or all of the revenue related
to a specific contract  depending on the existence of vendor specific  objective
evidence  and the ability to allocate the total  contract  value to all elements
within the contract.  Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company
implemented  the guidelines of SOP 98-9,  with no material impact on its overall
maintenance  deferral.  The Company  believes that its  maintenance  deferral is
consistent with current interpretations;  however, as additional  implementation
guidelines become available, there may be unanticipated changes in the Company's
revenue  recognition  practices  including,  but not limited to,  changes in the
period over which  revenue is  recognized  up to and  including  recognition  of
revenue  over the  contract  term.  Any  future  implementation  guidelines  and
interpretations  may also  require  the Company to further  change its  business
practices  in order to  continue  to  recognize  a  substantial  portion  of its
software  revenue when the product is delivered.  These changes may extend sales
cycles,  increase  administrative  costs, or otherwise adversely affect existing
operations and results of operations.

Segment  Disclosure:  During  fiscal year 1999,  the Company  adopted  Financial
Accounting  Standard  ("FAS") No. 131,  "Disclosures  about Segments and Related
Information"  which establishes  standards for reporting  operating segments and
disclosures about products and services,  geographic areas, and major customers.
The Company operates as a single segment providing  integrated computer software
solutions.  The Company has no individual  customers that are significant enough
to be deemed a segment.  See  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations for additional information.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS

On May  28,1999,  the  Company  acquired  approximately  98% of the  issued  and
outstanding shares of common stock of Platinum  technology  International,  inc.
Platinum),  and on June 29, 1999,  merged one of its wholly  owned  subsidiaries
into Platinum. The aggregate purchase price,  including assumed liabilities,  of
approximately  $4.2 billion was paid, or will be paid,  from drawings  under the
Company's  $4.5  billion  credit  agreements.  Platinum was engaged in providing
software products, consulting services systems, database management, e-commerce,
application  infrastructure  management,  decision  support,  data  warehousing,
knowledge management, and Year 2000 reengineering.

The Company  recorded a $646 million after tax charge  against  earnings for the
write-off of purchased Platinum research and development technology that had not
reached the  working  model stage and has no  alternative  future use.  Had this
charge not been taken during the quarter  ended June 30, 1999,  net income would
have been $214 million, or $.39 per share on a diluted basis.

The  following  table  reflects   pro-forma   combined   results  of  operations
(unaudited)  of the Company and  Platinum on the basis that the  acquisition  of
Platinum  had taken  place at the  beginning  of the fiscal year for all periods

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

On  March 9,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  more  than  98% of the  issued  and
outstanding  shares  of  common  stock of  Computer  Management  Sciences,  Inc.
("CMSI"),  and on March  19,  1999,  merged  into  CMSI one of its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries.  The aggregate  purchase price of  approximately  $400 million was
funded  from  drawings  under  the  Company's  credit  agreements  and cash from
operations.   CMSI  was  engaged  in  providing  custom  developed   information
technology  solutions  to a  Fortune  1000  client  base.  The  acquisition  was
accounted for as a purchase.

During  fiscal  year 1999,  the  Company  acquired a number of other  consulting
businesses  and product  technologies  in addition  to the one  described  above
which, either individually or collectively,  are not material.  The acquisitions
were all accounted for as purchases. The excess of cost over net assets acquired
is amortized on a straight-line  basis over the expected period to be benefited.
The consolidated  statements of operations  reflect the results of operations of
the companies since the effective dates of the purchase.

                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 "Results
of Operations".

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue:

Total  revenue  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1999  increased  17%,  or $175
million,  over the prior year's comparable  quarter.  The increase was primarily
attributable to growth in  client/server  revenue,  professional  services,  and
acquired   products  from   Platinum.   Client/server   revenue   accounted  for
approximately 49% of the Company's overall revenue for the first quarter, led by
Unicenter TNG (The Next Generation),  a family of integrated  business solutions
for  monitoring  and  administering  systems  management  across  multi-platform
environments.  In April 1999, the Company  introduced the Millenium  License,  a
perpetual MIPS based  license  with  added  flexibility  in usage  and  pricing.
Professional  services revenue from the Company's  consulting  services business
and  educational  programs  grew by 133% or $68  million  over the prior  year's
comparable  period.  The Company  intends to  continue to increase  the level of
professional  services  provided to clients  through  internal growth as well as
acquisitions of services  companies.  Maintenance  revenue  increased 8%, or $15
million,  over last year's comparable  quarter.  Additional  maintenance revenue
from  prior  year  license  arrangements,  as well  as  Platinum  licenses,  was
partially  offset by the  ongoing  trend of site  consolidations  and  expanding
client/server revenues, which yield lower maintenance.

</TABLE>

Total  North  American  revenue  for the first  quarter  grew 17% over the prior
year's first  quarter.  This resulted  from  continued  growth in  client/server
product sales and  professional  services  offset by marginally  lower mainframe
software  sales.  North American sales  represented  69% of revenue for both the
June 1999 and 1998  quarters.  The  strengthening  of the US dollar against most
currencies  negatively  affected  international  revenue  by  approximately  $20
million.

Item 2: (Continued)

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

Costs and Expenses:

Selling,  marketing and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue
for the first quarter decreased to 44% from 45% the prior year. The decrease was
largely  attributable  to  deferring  nonessential  expenditures  in the current
quarter  until the  completion of the Platinum  acquisition.  This was partially
offset by an  increase  in  personnel  costs  related to an overall  increase in
headcount in June 1999 resulting from the Platinum acquisition. Net research and
development  expenditures  increased $21 million,  or 21%, for the first quarter
compared to last year's first quarter.  There was continued emphasis on adapting
and  enhancing  products  for  the  client/server  environment,   in  particular
Unicenter TNG, Jasmine,  Neugents,  the Enterprise and Workgroup  Solutions,  as
well as broadening of the Company's e-commerce product offerings,  and a partial
quarter  of  development  on  technology  and  products   obtained  through  the
acquisition  of Platinum.  Commissions  and royalties as a percentage of revenue
were 5% for both the June 1999 and 1998 quarters.  Depreciation and amortization
expense in the first quarter  increased $31 million from the comparable  quarter
in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the additional amortization
of purchased intangibles  associated with the acquisition of Platinum marginally
offset by the scheduled  reductions in the amortization  associated with The ASK
Group, Inc., Legent Corporation, and Cheyenne Software, Inc. acquisitions. Total
amortization of acquired companies  intangibles  increased from $67 million from
last year's first fiscal quarter to $92 million this year. Net interest  expense
increased  $20 million,  or 67%, for the first  quarter  compared to last year's
first  quarter.  The  additional  interest  expense  related to the  increase in
average debt  outstanding  associated  with the  acquisition  of Platinum in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 and other acquisitions  during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999.


Operating Margins:

The pretax loss of $304  million  for the first  quarter of fiscal year 2000 was
attributable to the $646 million charge for in-process  research and development
relating to the  acquisition  of Platinum.  Net income in the June 1999 quarter,
excluding  the charge,  was $214 million,  an increase of $20 million,  or 10% ,
over the June 1998 quarter's net income of $194 million,  excluding the one-time
after tax charge of $675 million  associated  with the vesting of 20.25  million
shares under the 1995 Plan.  The Company's  consolidated  effective tax rate for
both comparable fiscal quarters, excluding special charges, was 37.5% .


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
revenue has been greater than the first half of the year,  as these two quarters
coincide with clients'  calendar year end budget periods and  culmination of the
Company's  annual sales plan. This  historically  higher second half revenue has
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, particularly
due to the acquisition of Platinum during the June 1999 quarter.

Item 2: (Continued)

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

Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company's  products are designed to improve the  productivity and efficiency
of its clients' information 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  information  processing  resources.  However,  a general  or  regional
slowdown in the world economy could adversely affect the Company's operations.

The  Company's  future  operating  results  may be affected by a number of other
factors,  including,  but not  limited  to:  uncertainties  relative  to  global
economic  conditions;  the  adequacy of the  Company's  internal  administrative
systems to efficiently process transactions, store, and retrieve data subsequent
to the year  2000;  the  Company's  increasing  reliance  on a single  family of
products for a material  portion of its sales;  market  acceptance  of competing
technologies;  the availability and cost of new solutions; delays in delivery of
new  products  or  features;  the  Company's  ability to  continue to update its
business  application  products to conform with the new common European currency
known as the "Euro"; the Company's ability to successfully  maintain or increase
market share in its core  business  while  expanding its product base into other
markets;  the  strength  of  its  distribution   channels;  the  ability  either
internally  or  through   third-party   service   providers  to  support  client
implementation of the Company's products;  the Company's ability to manage fixed
and variable expense growth relative to revenue growth; the Company's ability to
recruit and retain qualified personnel; and the Company's ability to effectively
integrate acquired products and operations.

With the  acquisition of Platinum  during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000,
there can be no assurances that the distractions  and uncertainty  caused by the
acquisition  will not have a negative  effect on the  Company's  revenue and net
income  as  it  completes  the  integration  and   restructuring  of  Platinum's
operations during the quarter ending September 30, 1999. There may be additional
uncertainties  during  the coming  quarters  as  product  integration  plans are
announced and clients evaluate such plans.


In-Process Research and Development:

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2000,  there was an after tax charge of $646
million  for  in-process   technology  relating  to  the  Platinum  acquisition,
approximately 15 percent of the aggregate  purchase price. There was no acquired
in-process  technology charge in fiscal year 1999 or 1998.  Acquired  in-process
research and  development  ("in-process  R&D") charges relate to acquisitions of
software  companies  accounted for under the purchase method, in which a portion
of the  purchase  price is  allocated  to  acquired  in-process  technology  and
expensed  immediately  since the  technological  feasibility of the research and
development  projects  have not yet been  achieved  and are  believed to have no
alternative  future use. An  independent  valuation was performed and used as an
aid in determining the fair value of the  identifiable  assets and in allocating
the  purchase  price among the  acquired  assets,  including  the portion of the
purchase price attributed to in-process R&D.

The "Income  Approach"  was utilized for the valuation  analysis.  This approach
focuses on the income producing capability of the asset and was obtained through
on-site  interviews with management,  review of data provided by the Company and
the acquired  companies,  and analysis of relevant market sizes, growth factors,
and expected trends in technology.  The steps followed in applying this approach
included  estimating the expected cash flow over its life and  converting  these
cash  flows to  present  value.  Discounting  the net cash  flows  back to their
present value was based on the weighted  average cost of capital.  The rate used
in  discounting  the net cash flows from the in-process R&D ranged from 20 to 23
percent. This discount,  higher than the Company's,  is due to the uncertainties
surrounding the successful development of in-process R&D.

The projects,  on average,  are approximately 80 percent  complete.  The Company
believes  the  discount  rate  is  appropriate   given  the  level  of  risk  of
unsuccessful  completion of the  technology  after  evaluating the stage of each
project reviewed.

The  Platinum  projects   currently  under  development   consist  primarily  of
application   development,   database  and  enterprise   management  tools,  and
data warehousing solutions. If these projects are not successfully developed,the
revenue and  profitability  of the Company may be  adversely  affected in future
periods.  Additionally, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become
impaired.  The Company should begin to benefit from the purchased in-process R&D
in the second half of fiscal year 2000. Management believes that the assumptions
used in the purchased  in-process R&D valuation  reasonably  estimate the future
benefits.  There can be no assurance  that in future periods actual results will
not deviate from current estimates.


Year 2000:

The Company has  designed  and tested  substantially  all of its recent  product
offerings to be Year 2000 compliant. These products have met rigorous compliance
criteria and have undergone  extensive  review to detect any Year 2000 failures.
The Company has publicly  identified any products that will not be updated to be
Year 2000  compliant and has been  encouraging  clients using these  products to
migrate to compliant versions/products. The Company continues to update and test
its product offerings.  In general, these Year 2000 compliance efforts have been
part of the Company's ongoing software development process. As such, incremental
costs  are not  deemed  material  and have been  included  in net  research  and
development expenses. The Year 2000 readiness of the Company's customers varies,
and the Company  continues to actively  encourage its customers to prepare their
own systems,  making  available a broad array of product service and educational
offerings.  These  offerings  have  been  made  available  to  all  clients  and
prospects.  It is possible  that the Company may  experience  increased  expense
levels  addressing  migration  issues  for  such  customers.  There  can  be  no
assurances  that the  Company's  compliant  products do not  contain  undetected
problems  associated with Year 2000  compliance.  Although the Company  believes
that its license agreements  provide it with protection  against liability,  the
Company  cannot  predict  whether  or to what  extent any legal  claims  will be
brought,  or whether the Company will suffer any potential liability as a result
of any such adverse consequences to its customers.

The Company  recognizes the significance of the Year 2000 issue as it relates to
its internal systems  including IT and non-IT systems,  and understands that the
impact extends beyond  traditional  hardware and software to automated  facility
systems and third party  suppliers.  The Company has established a comprehensive
four-step  plan:  (1)  assessment;   (2)  remediation;   (3)  testing;  and  (4)
implementation,  with  dedicated  project  managers to address Year 2000 issues.
With regard to internal  administrative and financial  systems,  the Company has
completed most conversion and testing efforts,  with extended system integration
testing and contingency  planning  projects  scheduled  throughout 1999. For its
facility-related systems such as telephone, voicemail, and security, the Company
has conducted internal  assessment audits and has sent questionnaires to vendors
and  service  providers  to  confirm  Year  2000  readiness.   The  Company  has
substantially  completed  Year 2000  readiness  preparations  and will  continue
comprehensive  testing  throughout  calendar  1999.  As part of the  contingency
planning  efforts,  the  Company  has  created  alternative   strategies,   when
necessary,  if  significant  exposures  were  identified up to and including the
Company's  computer  systems being rendered  inoperable.  The  contingency  plan
addresses  these issues  including  temporary  relocation of  employees,  manual
workarounds,  and the use of Company-owned  generators and cellular phones.  The
total  cost of  preparing  internal  systems  to be Year 2000  compliant  is not
expected to be  material  to the  Company's  operations,  liquidity,  or capital
resources.  Total  expenditures,  excluding  personnel  costs of existing staff,
related to internal

systems Year 2000  readiness  is expected to be less than $30 million,  with the
vast  majority  of it paid to  date.  Such  expenses  commenced  in 1996 and are
projected to continue  throughout calendar year 1999. The Company believes that,
although the risk of  operational  disruption  from systems  failures due to the
Year 2000 is  minimal,  there can be no  assurances  that the  Company  will not
experience  significant  unanticipated  negative performance and/or flaws in the
technology used in its internal  systems or interruptions in electrical power or
other third-party infrastructure services.

Demand for certain of the  Company's  products may be generated by customers who
are replacing or upgrading  computer  systems to accommodate  the Year 2000 date
change. As a result,  demand for some of the Company's  products may diminish as
the Year 2000  arrives,  which could  negatively  impact the  Company's  revenue
growth  rate.  Additionally,  because  the  Company  believes  that  some of its
customers are  allocating a substantial  portion of their  calendar year 1999 IT
budgets to Year 2000 compliance,  sales of certain of the Company's  traditional
product offerings may be adversely affected through the end of fiscal year 2000.


Liquidity and capital resources:

During the first quarter,  the Company's cash, cash equivalents,  and marketable
securities decreased approximately $118 million from the March 31, 1999 balance.
Cash  generated  from  operations  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999 was $326
million,  an increase of  approximately  42% when  compared to the prior  year's
first  quarter,  excluding  the $318  million tax payment made in lieu of shares
granted to certain  executives  under the 1995 Plan. This increase was primarily
attributable to higher net  incomebefore  special  charges and accelerated  cash
collection of trade accounts receivable.

In June 1999, the Company replaced its two revolving credit agreements  totaling
$2.6 billion with three new agreements totaling $4.5 billion in order to pay for
acquisition  costs  related to the tender  offer for the  outstanding  shares of
Platinum.  The new  financing  arrangements  consist of a $1.5  billion  364-day
revolving credit facility, a $1 billion 4-year revolving credit facility,  and a
$2 billion 4-year term loan.  Interest is based on the London InterBank  Offered
Rate ("LIBOR")  subject to a margin determined by a bank credit facility ratings
grid. The Company is required to maintain certain  financial ratios. At June 30,
1999, a total of $3.375 billion,  all drawn in June 1999, was outstanding  under
these facilities.

In addition  to its bank credit  facilities,  the  company  has  utilized  other
sources of liquidity to achieve its strategic objectives. On April 24, 1998, the
Company issued $1.75 billion of unsecured Senior Notes. Amounts borrowed, rates,
and  maturities  for each issue were $575  million at 6 1/4% due April 15, 2003,
$825 million at 6 3/8% due April 15, 2005,  and $350 million at 6 1/2% due April
15,  2008,  respectively.  Proceeds  were  used to repay  borrowings  under  the
Company's  then  $2.6  billion  revolving  credit  facilities  and  for  general
corporate  purposes.  The issuance of these notes  allowed the Company to extend
the maturity of its debt,  commit to an attractive  fixed rate of interest,  and
broaden the  Company's  sources of  liquidity.  Debt  ratings for the  Company's
senior  unsecured  notes and its bank credit  facilities  are Baa1 and BBB+ from
Moody's  Investor  Services  and  Standard  & Poor's,  respectively.  During the
quarter ended June 30, 1999,  the Company repaid $64 million under the Company's
6.77%  Senior  Notes  as  provided  for  in  the  notes,  leaving  $256  million
outstanding.  These 6.77% Senior Notes call for annual repayments of $64 million
until April 2003.

The Company  also  maintains  an 85 million  pound-sterling  denominated  credit
facility   established  to  finance  construction  of  its  new  European  World
Headquarters.  Approximately  60 million  pound-sterling,  or US$95  million was
outstanding  under this  facility at June 30, 1999.  This facility is subject to
interest  primarily at LIBOR,  subject to a fixed spread,  which is dependent on

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

the  achievement  of certain  financial  ratios. The Company is also required to
maintain   certain   financial   conditions.   Additionally,   the  Company  has
approximately   US$30  million   available   under   unsecured  and  uncommitted
multicurrency lines of credit established to meet any short-term working capital
needs for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S.

The Company had $150 million of Platinum's 6.25% convertible  subordinated notes
due  2002  and $26  million  of  Platinum's  6.75%  convertible  notes  due 2001
outstanding at June 30, 1999. In July 1999, the Company  repurchased or redeemed
virtually all of the notes in accordance with a repurchase offer .

During the quarter ended June 30, 1999,  the Company did not purchase any shares
under its various open market Common Stock repurchase  programs.  The cumulative
total  number of shares  purchased  is  approximately  150 million  shares.  The
remaining  number  of shares  authorized  for  repurchase  is  approximately  50
million.

In addition to the construction of the U.K.  headquarters and expansion  efforts
at its U.S.  headquarters in Islandia,  N.Y.,  capital resource  requirements at
June 30,  1999  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,
marketable  securities,  the  availability of borrowings  under credit lines, as
well as cash provided from  operations,  will be sufficient to meet ongoing cash
requirements.



Item 3:

                     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
                                 OF MARKET RISK

The Company's exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily  to the  Company's  investment  portfolio  and  issuance of debt.  The
Company  has  not  used  derivative  financial  instruments  in  its  investment
portfolio.  The  Company  has a  prescribed  methodology  whereby it invests its
excess  cash in  debt  instruments  of  government  agencies  and  high  quality
corporate issuers  (Standard & Poor's single "A" rating and higher).  To further
mitigate risk,  the vast majority of the securities  have a maturity date within
one year.  Holdings of any one issuer  excluding the U.S.  Government  shall not
exceed 10%, and the  portfolio  is reviewed on a periodic  basis and adjusted in
the  event  that the  credit  rating of a  security  held in the  portfolio  has
deteriorated.

At June 30, 1999, the Company's  outstanding debt approximated $5.7 billion,  an
overall  increase of $3.2 billion from March 31,1999,  with  approximately  $2.2
billion of fixed rate obligations. If market rates decline, the Company runs the
risk that the related required payments on the fixed rate debt will exceed those
based on the  current  market  rate.  On an annual  basis,  each 25 basis  point
decrease in interest  rates would  increase  the value of these  instruments  by
approximately $6 million.  Each 25 basis point increase or decrease in the level
of interest rates would have  approximately $9 million annual impact on variable
rate debt interest based on the balances of such debt at June 30, 1999.

There  have  been  no  material  changes  in the way the  Company  conducts  its
worldwide business, foreign exchange risk management strategy, or investments in
marketable equity securities,  thus overall Foreign Currency Exchange and Equity
Price Risk remains unchanged from the description in the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1999.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1:  Legal Proceedings

The  Company  and  certain  of  its  officers  are  defendants  in a  number  of
shareholder  class  action  lawsuits  alleging  that a class  consisting  of all
persons who  purchased the  Company's  stock during the period  January 20, 1998
until July 22, 1998 were harmed by misleading statements,  representations,  and
omissions regarding the Company's future financial performance. These cases have
been consolidated into a single action (the "Shareholder  Action") in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ("NY Federal Court").
The  defendants  moved to dismiss the  Shareholder  Action.  In addition,  three
derivative  actions alleging similar facts were brought in the NY Federal Court.
An additional  derivative  action,  alleging that the Company issued more shares
than were authorized under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "1995
Plan"),  was  also  filed  in the NY  Federal  Court.  In all but  one of  these
derivative  actions,  all of the Company's  directors at that time were named as
defendants. These derivative actions have been consolidated into a single action
(the "Derivative Action") in the NY Federal Court. Another derivative action was
filed in the Chancery  Court in Delaware (the  "Delaware  Action") also alleging
that more  shares  were issued  than were  authorized  under the 1995 Plan.  The
Company and its directors,  who are parties to the Delaware Action, have filed a
motion to dismiss the Delaware  Action,  and the plaintiff has moved for summary
judgment.  Although  the  ultimate  outcome  and  liability,  if any,  cannot be
determined,  management,  after  consultation and review with counsel,  believes
that the facts in each of the actions do not support the plaintiffs'  claims and
that the Company and its officers and directors have meritorious defenses.

The Company, various subsidiaries,  and certain current and former officers have
been named as  defendants in other  various  claims and lawsuits  arising in the
normal  course of business.  The Company  believes that the facts do not support
the plaintiffs' claims, and intends to vigorously contest each of them.
