           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 second quarter of 1994 the Company recognized equipment
sales to Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under distributorship
arrangements which contributed $6,529,000 and $2,455,000 to
equipment sales and gross margin, respectively, compared to
$1,699,000 and $875,000 in the second quarter of 1993 ($18,526,000
and $6,677,000 for the first six months of 1994 and $2,569,000 and
$1,233,000 for the first six months of 1993).  Amounts due from
Fujitsu included in receivables were $5,819,000 and $35,931,000 as
of July 1, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.

In the second quarters of 1994 and 1993 the Company charged
engineering and development expense $548,000 and $770,000
($2,038,000 and $1,722,000 for the first six months of 1994 and
1993), respectively, for services and materials supplied by
Fujitsu. 

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 July 1, 1994, $80,000,000 was outstanding under this
agreement.  Interest expense associated with the loan was $794,000
and $1,604,000 in the second quarter and first six months of 1994,
respectively.


SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE 

Income taxes of $30,005,000 were refunded to the Company in the
first six months of 1994, and income taxes of $2,614,000 were paid
by the Company in the first six months of 1993.  Interest paid on
all borrowings was $3,836,000 and $10,845,000 for the first six
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 

Second quarter of 1994 compared to second quarter of 1993: 

Revenues decreased 14% to $396,909,000 in the second quarter of
1994 from $463,206,000 in the second quarter of 1993, and decreased
8% in the first half of 1994 as compared to the first half of 1993.
Equipment sales decreased 21% in the second quarter of 1994 from
the second quarter of 1993 and decreased 15% in the first half of
1994 from the first half of 1993.  Equipment sales of the 5995M
mainframe computers decreased due primarily to continued
competitive pricing pressures.  This price decline, however, was at
a rate 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 in the first half of
1994.  Equipment sales of the older 5995A line of mainframe
computers and of the Company's storage products decreased primarily
due to pricing declines.  Equipment lease, maintenance and other
revenues increased 1% in the second quarter of 1994 from the second
quarter of 1993 (6% in the first six months of 1994 as compared to
the first six months of 1993) reflecting increased maintenance
revenues from a larger customer installed base.

The gross margin was 35% of revenues in the second quarter of 1994
and 30% in the second quarter of 1993 and was 35% of revenues in
the first half of 1994 and 26% in the first half of 1993. The
improvement in margins was primarily due to lower production costs
resulting from reductions in excess manufacturing capacity.  In
addition, the provision charged to cost of equipment sales for
implementation of engineering changes to support IBM features on
certain shipped 5995M processors decreased.  Also, gross margins on
maintenance service revenues improved, reflecting benefits from the
cost reduction actions taken in the field service organization in
1993.

Operating expenses declined $40 million or 24% from the second
quarter of 1993 to the second quarter of 1994 and were 33% and 37%
of revenues in the second quarters of 1994 and 1993 respectively. 
Year-to-date operating expenses in 1994 and 1993, excluding first
quarter 1993 restructuring charges of $243,000,000, declined $96
million or 27% and were 33% and 42% of revenues in 1994 and 1993
respectively. Second quarter 1994 engineering and development
expenses decreased $34 million or 40% when compared to the second
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.

Second quarter 1994 net interest income increased $1,473,000 from
the second quarter of 1993 due primarily to decreased debt levels.
The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by decreased
interest income from lower levels of sales-type lease receivables. 

In the second quarter of 1994 the effective income tax rate was 5%,
which reflected utilization of domestic and foreign net operating
loss carryforward benefits.  The effective income tax rate was 20%
in the second quarter of 1993.

Although the Company's performance improved during the second
quarter of 1994 when compared to previous quarters in 1993 and the
first quarter in 1994, positive future results over the near term
will depend on a continuation of improved 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.

The Company believes that the restructuring actions which it took
in 1993 will bring its costs in line with anticipated levels of
business for the balance of 1994 and beyond.  However, any
significant deterioration in these levels of business would likely
require the Company to make additional adjustments to expense
structures and associated restructuring charges.

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 newer 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.

Because of the uncertainties described in the preceding paragraphs,
the Company is unable to predict that it will be able to sustain
profitability over the near term.

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
mainframe systems 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 mainframe systems, 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 

July 1, 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
$264 million, from $117 million at December 31, 1993 to $381
million at July 1, 1994.  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments increased $214 million and borrowings decreased $50
million.  

Receivables decreased $28 million primarily due to the collection
of income tax refunds in the second quarter of 1994.  The Company's
continued efforts to reduce inventory levels resulted in a decline
of $154 million.  Net property and equipment decreased $92 million
due to the downsizing of internal data centers as well as ongoing
depreciation charges.

Accounts payable to Fujitsu increased $21 million due primarily to
increased purchases of storage products inventory in the second
quarter of 1994.

Accrued liabilities includes accrued restructuring costs, which
decreased from $146 million at December 31, 1993 to $102 million at
July 1, 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 July 1, 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 internally generated 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, providing
that financial results are not significantly less favorable than
planned.  The Company also expects that other sources of capital
will be available to meet any additional financing requirements
during and beyond 1994.
