            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 1995 Annual Report to
Stockholders. 


RELATIONSHIP WITH FUJITSU LIMITED 

During the second quarter of 1996 the Company recognized
equipment sales to Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under
distributorship and other arrangements which contributed
$1,830,000 and $629,000 to equipment sales and gross margin,
respectively, compared to $1,155,000 and $482,000 in the second
quarter of 1995 ($9,316,000 and $1,298,000 for the first six
months of 1996 and $21,121,000 and $8,225,000 for the first six
months of 1995).
 
In 1995 the Company entered into a contract manufacturing
agreement with HaL Computer Systems, Inc. (HaL), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Fujitsu, whereby Amdahl agreed to manufacture high
end open system workstations for HaL.  The Company also performs
circuit board assembly for Ross Technology, Inc., a majority-
owned subsidiary of Fujitsu.  These arrangements contributed
$1,203,000 and a negative $573,000 to equipment sales and gross
margin, respectively, in the second quarter of 1996 ($5,630,000
and a negative $2,109,000 for the first six months of 1996 and
$4,322,000 and $1,776,000 in the first six months of 1995).

Fujitsu reimburses Amdahl for certain specific engineering
development activities performed by Amdahl from time to time
related to products which are being jointly developed by Amdahl
and Fujitsu.  In connection with these development efforts,
Amdahl recorded $6,200,000 as an offset to engineering and
development expenses in the second quarter of 1996 ($12,400,000
in the first six months of 1996).  No such reimbursements
occurred in 1995.

Amounts due from Fujitsu and their subsidiaries included in
receivables were $27,336,000 and $35,795,000 as of June 28, 1996
and December 29, 1995, respectively.

At June 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995, $80,000,000 was
outstanding under the loan agreement with Fujitsu.  This amount
was reclassified from long-term debt to current debt in the first
quarter of 1996, as the amount outstanding is payable in January
1997.  Interest expense associated with the loan was $1,364,000
and $1,581,000 in the second quarters of 1996 and 1995,
respectively ($2,922,000 and $2,999,000, in the first six months
of 1996 and 1995, respectively), of which $898,000 and $958,000
was payable and included in accrued liabilities at June 28, 1996
and December 29, 1995, respectively.


SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE 

Income taxes of $3,162,000 (net of taxes refunded of $7,021,000)
were paid by the Company in the first six months of 1996, and
income taxes of $23,626,000 were paid by the Company in the first
six months of 1995.  Interest paid on all borrowings was
$4,842,000 and $5,255,000 for the first six months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. 

Noncash Investing Activities

Transfers of Amdahl-manufactured systems from net property, plant
and equipment to inventories were $3,174,000 in the first six
months of 1996 and $12,935,000 in the first six months of 1995.

ACQUISITION OF TRECOM BUSINESS SYSTEMS, INC.

On April 22, 1996 the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of Trecom Business Systems, Inc.(Trecom), a provider of
information technology services. Under the merger agreement
between the Company and Trecom, $66 million of the purchase price
was paid in April 1996 and $65 million is payable without
interest in April 1997.  The Company has pledged cash with a
custodian as security for approximately $55 million of the April
1997 payment.  This amount was classified as restricted cash on
the Company's balance sheet at June 28, 1996.  Additionally, up
to $2 million is payable in the event that Trecom achieves
certain financial goals during the one year period ending March
31, 1997 (the contingent payment).  The present value of the
aggregate purchase price at the acquisition date, including
acquisition costs and excluding the contingent payment, was $130
million.  In April 1996 the Company also paid down $15 million of
Trecom's debt.  The Company funded the April 1996 payments and
intends to fund the April 1997 payment with existing cash.  The
results of Trecom's operations have been combined with those of
the Company since the date of acquisition.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was
allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated
fair values.  The fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed was $49 million and $34 million,
respectively.  In addition, $20,700,000 of the purchase price was
allocated to in-process engineering and development projects that
had not reached technological feasibility and had no probable
alternative future uses, which the Company expensed at the date
of acquisition.  The balance of the purchase price, $94 million,
was recorded as excess of cost over net assets acquired
(goodwill) and is being amortized over twenty-five years on a
straight-line basis. 

Subsequent to June 28, 1996, $1.2 million of the $2 million
contingent payment was paid to Trecom stockholders.  In the third
quarter of 1996 the purchase price will be adjusted and goodwill
increased by this amount.  The remaining balance remains
contingent.

The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results
of operations of the Company and Trecom on the basis that the
acquisition had taken place and the related charge, noted above,
was recorded at the beginning of the fiscal period for each of
the periods presented:

               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 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Results of Operations 

Second quarter of 1996 compared to second quarter of 1995: 

Total revenues increased slightly to $382,854,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $378,666,000 in the second quarter of 1995
and decreased $50,310,000 or 7% in the first half of 1996 as
compared to the first half of 1995.  Equipment sales revenues
decreased 51% in the second quarter of 1996 from the second
quarter of 1995 and decreased 54% in the first half of 1996 as
compared to the first half of 1995.  Equipment sales were 28% and
57% of total revenues in the second quarters of 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Revenues from equipment sales of 5995M mainframe
systems decreased 65% in the second quarter of 1996 from the
second quarter of 1995 due to significant declines in pricing and
shipment volumes in the second quarter of 1996 as the Company
continued to transition from older ECL mainframe technology to
CMOS technology.  Revenues from storage product equipment sales
decreased 39% in the second quarter of 1996 when compared to the
same period of 1995 as a result of pricing and volume declines
associated with previously reported delays in the introduction of
new storage products.  These new products began shipping in the
second quarter of 1996 but will not be available in volume until
the second half of 1996. 

Service, software and other revenues were 72% and 43% of total
revenues in the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively. 
Service, software and other revenues increased 70% in the second
quarter of 1996 from the second quarter of 1995 and 57% in the
first half of 1996 from the first half of 1995, primarily
reflecting increased consulting services revenues from DMR Group
Inc. (DMR), acquired in the fourth quarter of 1995, and Trecom
Business Systems, Inc. (Trecom), acquired in the second quarter
of 1996.

As a result of the severe 5995M price declines experienced in the
second quarter of 1996, the Company charged cost of equipment
sales for $130 million to reduce end-of-life bipolar 5995M
inventories ($105 million) and leased systems ($25 million) to
market value.  As a result, the gross margin was a negative 20%
of revenues in the second quarter of 1996, compared to 39% in the
second quarter of 1995 and a negative 1% of revenues in the first
half of 1996, compared to 39% in the first half of 1995.  The
gross margin percentage on equipment sales decreased to a
negative 137% in the second quarter of 1996 from 36% in the
second quarter of 1995 and decreased to a negative 68% in the
first half of 1996 from 34% in the first half of 1995.  The gross
margin percentage on service, software and other revenues
decreased to 25% in the second quarter of 1996 from 44% in the
second quarter of 1995 and decreased to 27% in the first half of
1996 from 45% in the first half of 1995 because consulting and
professional services contributed a greater proportion of
revenues in the second quarter of 1996, and these revenues
generate lower gross margins than the Company's traditional
maintenance revenues.

In the second quarter of 1996 the Company recorded a charge to
operating expenses of $21 million to write off purchased in-
process engineering and development associated with the
acquisition of Trecom that had no probable alternative future
uses (see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Second quarter 1996 engineering and development expenses,
excluding this charge, decreased $4 million or 10% when compared
to the second quarter of 1995, due in part to reimbursements
received from Fujitsu (see the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements) and due to the increased reliance on
Fujitsu for the development of the Company's future mainframe and
storage products.  Second quarter 1996 marketing, general and
administrative expenses increased $14 million or 15% when
compared to the second quarter of 1995, due to increased
marketing efforts directed towards the Company's non-traditional
product lines and the additional expenses associated with DMR and
Trecom.

Net interest income decreased $6 million in the second quarter of
1996 from the second quarter of 1995 and decreased $9 million in
the first half of 1996 from the first half of 1995 due primarily
to lower cash levels after the acquisition of DMR and Trecom.
<PAGE>
The effective income tax rate was negative 9% in the second
quarter of 1996, compared to 22% in the second quarter of 1995. 
The second quarter 1996 tax provision included the reversal of
the $10 million benefit from income taxes recorded in the first
quarter of 1996 and a provision for taxes currently payable in
state and foreign jurisdictions.  No tax benefit was recorded for
the loss incurred in the current period.  For financial reporting
purposes, the valuation allowance at June 28, 1996 reduced net
deferred tax assets to an amount realizable based upon taxes paid
for prior years without relying on future income.  The Company
anticipates that the provision for income taxes in the second
half of 1996 will consist only of minimum state and foreign
taxes.

Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results

The Company expects that revenues attributable to the maintenance
of its new hardware systems will be less than revenues that have
been historically realized from maintenance of its existing
generation of mainframes.  The Company is unable to predict the
extent to which this would negatively affect future operating
results.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
JUNE 28, 1996 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 29, 1995

The Company's net cash position (cash, restricted cash and short-
term investments net of short-term and long-term debt, excluding
capitalized lease obligations) decreased by $162 million from
December 29, 1995 to June 28, 1996.  Cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash and short-term investments decreased $152
million, reflecting cash used for operations and the acquisition
of Trecom (see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements).  Receivables increased $9 million, due to the
addition of Trecom's receivables of $45 million, offset by a
reduction in receivables due to lower revenues.

Inventories decreased $172 million, reflecting shipments of end-
of-life 5995M systems and the $105 million write-down of 5995M
inventories to market value. 

Property and equipment decreased $35 million due to decreases in
spare parts and the $25 million write-down of 5995M leased
systems, offset to some extent by increased operating leases in
the first half of 1996.
  
The excess of cost over net assets acquired, net of amortization,
increased $91 million due to the acquisition of Trecom (see the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Accrued liabilities increased $67 million, primarily due to the
present value of the Trecom acquisition price payable, which was
$63 million at June 28, 1996 (see the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).  Increases in other accruals were offset
by charges against accrued restructuring costs, which resulted in
a decrease in the balance from $55 million at December 29, 1995
to $34 million at June 28, 1996.

At June 28, 1996 and December 29, 1995, $80 million was
outstanding under the loan agreement with Fujitsu.  This amount
was reclassified from long-term debt to current debt in the first
quarter of 1996, as the amount outstanding is payable in January
1997. 


LIQUIDITY

The nature of the computer industry, combined with the current
economic environment, make it very difficult for the Company to
predict future liquidity requirements with certainty. However,
the Company believes that existing cash and short-term
investments will be adequate to finance continuing operations,
investments in property and equipment, inventories and spare
parts, expenditures for the development of new products,
repayment of outstanding debt, and the acquisition of Trecom (see
the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) at least
through 1997.
