           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (Unaudited)


The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
related notes included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to
Stockholders. 

RELATIONSHIP WITH FUJITSU LIMITED 

During the third quarter of 1994 the Company recognized equipment
sales to Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under distributorship
arrangements which contributed $6,049,000 and $2,602,000 to
equipment sales and gross margin, respectively, compared to
$5,575,000 and $2,871,000 in the third quarter of 1993 ($24,575,000
and $9,279,000 for the first nine months of 1994 and $7,844,000 and
$4,104,000 for the first nine months of 1993).
 
In the third quarters of 1994 and 1993 the Company charged
engineering and development expense $241,000 and $3,974,000
($2,279,000 and $5,696,000 for the first nine months of 1994 and
1993), respectively, for services and materials supplied by
Fujitsu. 

Amounts due from Fujitsu included in receivables were $17,127,000
and $35,931,000 as of September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993,
respectively.

In January 1994 the Company and Fujitsu entered into an agreement
under which Fujitsu would provide loans to the Company in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000.  Such loans bear
interest at a rate based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate. 
Any outstanding loan balance is payable to Fujitsu on January 28,
1997.  At September 30, 1994, $80,000,000 was outstanding under
this agreement.  Interest expense associated with the loan was
$1,284,000 and $2,888,000 in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1994, respectively.


SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE 

Income taxes of $585,000 were paid by the Company in the first nine
months of 1994, and income taxes of $13,278,000 were refunded to
the Company in the first nine months of 1993.  Interest paid on all
borrowings was $6,394,000 and $15,169,000 for the first nine months
of 1994 and 1993, respectively.

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



The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read
in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis
included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Results of Operations 

Third quarter of 1994 compared to third quarter of 1993: 

Revenues decreased 7% to $364,210,000 in the third quarter of 1994
from $393,673,000 in the third quarter of 1993, and decreased 8% in
the first nine months of 1994 as compared to the first nine months
of 1993. Equipment sales decreased 15% in the third quarter of 1994
from the third quarter of 1993 as well as in the first nine months
of 1994 from the first nine months of 1993.  Equipment sales of the
5995M mainframe computers increased in the third quarter of 1994 as
increased revenues from higher shipment volumes more than offset
the impact of pricing declines when compared to the third quarter
of 1993.  The rate of price declines in 1994 was less severe than
the declines experienced in 1992 and 1993, which the Company
believes indicates an improved balance between supply and demand in
the mainframe marketplace.  Storage product equipment sales
decreased as customers awaited shipments of the Company's new
storage products, which will begin shipping in the fourth quarter
of 1994.  Equipment sales of the older lines of mainframe computers
also decreased.  Equipment lease, maintenance and other revenues
increased 6% in the third quarter of 1994 from the third quarter of
1993 as well as in the first nine months of 1994 as compared to the
first nine months of 1993, reflecting increased maintenance
revenues from a larger customer installed base as well as increased
sales of Huron software licenses. 

The gross margin was 38% of revenues in the third quarter of 1994
and 27% in the third quarter of 1993 and was 36% of revenues in the
first nine months of 1994 and 26% in the first nine months of 1993.
The improvement in margins was primarily due to lower production
costs resulting from reductions in excess manufacturing capacity.
Also, gross margins on maintenance service revenues improved,
reflecting benefits from the cost reduction actions taken in the
field service organization in 1993 and 1994.

Operating expenses, excluding third quarter 1993 restructuring
charges of $235,000,000, declined $42 million or 25% from the third
quarter of 1993 to the third quarter of 1994 and were 35% and 43%
of revenues in the third quarters of 1994 and 1993 respectively. 
Year-to-date operating expenses in 1994 and 1993, excluding first
and third quarter 1993 restructuring charges of $478,000,000,
declined $138 million or 27% and were 33% and 42% of revenues in
1994 and 1993 respectively. Third quarter 1994 engineering and
development expenses decreased $35 million or 42% when compared to
the third quarter of 1993, primarily due to cancellation of certain
of the Company's product development activities and a reduction in
the scope of other development projects.  Engineering and
development expenses also decreased due to the November 1993
agreement with Fujitsu for the joint development of the next
generation of IBM compatible systems.

Third quarter 1994 net interest income increased $2,508,000 from
the third quarter of 1993 due primarily to an increase in average
net cash.

Although the Company's financial performance improved during the
third quarter of 1994, near-term profitability will depend on
sustained favorable economic conditions in the Company's primary
markets, continued stabilization of pricing for large mainframe
systems, and the ability of the market for mainframe systems to
grow in the face of competition from smaller, less costly computer
systems.  Also, stabilization of pricing is dependent on continued
balance between the supply of mainframe systems and customer
demand.

In the latter part of 1993 the Company reorganized along lines of
business consisting of its compatible processors, storage products,
maintenance and consulting services, open systems and Huron
software businesses, in order to enable the Company to more
effectively enhance and expand its product offerings.  Because of
the factors noted above affecting its traditional mainframe
business, the Company intends to rely increasingly on its ability
to utilize lower cost technologies in future compatible processor
products and on the ability of its other lines of business to
contribute a higher percentage of revenues and profits to overall
operations.  Successful implementation of this strategy is,
however, subject to the inherent risks associated with the
introduction of new technologies and with the entry into new
markets not related to the Company's traditional compatible
processor business.

In July 1994 International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) gave
the European Commission one year's advance notice of IBM's
intention to terminate the Undertaking which it entered into with
the Commission in 1984.  The Undertaking called upon IBM to
disclose interface specifications related to its System 370/390
mainframes to qualified competitors, including Amdahl.  Since 1986
the Company has utilized specifications made available pursuant to
the Undertaking in maintaining compatibility with new features and
functions which IBM has announced from time to time.

At the present time the Company has no reason to believe that, upon
termination of the Undertaking, IBM will depart from its past
practice of disclosing interface specifications.  However, a
failure by IBM to continue to disclose required information on a
timely basis would require Amdahl to rely extensively on
technically difficult reverse engineering procedures.  In such a
case, should IBM continue to introduce significant architectural
changes to its System 390 mainframes, the ability of the Company's
products to remain compatible in the future on a timely basis could
be adversely impacted.  The Company is unable to predict what
effect this would have on future operating results.


Financial Condition 

September 30, 1994, compared to December 31, 1993: 

The Company's net cash and investment position (cash and short-term
investments net of short-term and long-term borrowings) improved by
$381 million, from $117 million at December 31, 1993 to $498
million at September 30, 1994.  Cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments increased $342 million and borrowings decreased
$39 million.  

Receivables decreased $56 million primarily due to the collection
of income tax refunds and a decrease in amounts due from Fujitsu. 
The Company's continued efforts to reduce inventory levels resulted
in a decline of $173 million.  Net property and equipment decreased
$138 million due primarily to the downsizing of internal data
centers as well as ongoing depreciation charges.

Accrued liabilities decreased $64 million due primarily to charges
against accrued restructuring costs, which decreased from $146
million at December 31, 1993 to $92 million at September 30, 1994.

At December 31, 1993, $130,000,000 classified as short-term debt
was outstanding under the Company's revolving credit agreement with
a group of banks.  This amount was repaid by the Company upon
expiration of the facility on January 31, 1994.  At September 30,
1994, $80,000,000 was outstanding under the Fujitsu loan agreement
(see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).


Liquidity

The nature of the computer industry, combined with the current
economic environment, makes it very difficult for the Company to
predict future liquidity requirements with certainty.  However, the
Company believes that existing cash and borrowings under its loan
agreement with Fujitsu will be adequate to finance continuing
operations, investments in plant and equipment, inventories and
spare parts, and expenditures for the development of new products
at least through the next twelve months.  The Company also expects
that other sources of capital will be available to meet any
additional financing requirements during and beyond 1994.
