Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   In the opinion of the management of International Business Machines 
Corporation (the company), all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of 
the results for the unaudited three month periods have been made.  In 
addition to the adjustments for normal recurring accruals, the company 
recorded charges of $.3 billion for software writedowns in the first quarter 
of 1994.  See note four below. 

2.   The company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
(SFAS) 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities," effective January 1, 1994.  This statement required certain debt 
and equity securities to be classified as either Trading, Available-for-Sale 
or Held-to-Maturity.  Trading securities are recorded at fair value and any 
unrealized gains or losses are charged to earnings.  Available-for-Sale 
securities are recorded at fair value and any unrealized gains or losses are 
included in stockholders' equity.  Held-to-Maturity securities are recorded at 
amortized cost.  As a result of adopting this statement, there was no impact 
to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and the Consolidated Statement of 
Financial Position was not materially affected.  Prior years' consolidated 
financial statements have not been restated to reflect this change. 

3.   The sale of the Federal Systems Company (FSC) to Loral Corporation was 
effective January 1, 1994, with a final settlement date of March 1, 1994, for 
$1.503 billion in cash.  This transaction resulted in an after-tax net gain of 
$248 million ($.43 per common share) to the company's first-quarter 1994 
results.  The net gain reflects the impact of certain contractual, employee 
postemployment, and other obligations that the company recorded as part of the 
sale.  The sale also resulted in a decrease of $752 million in prepaid 
expenses and other current assets, which represents the net assets associated 
with FSC.  Additionally, as a result of this sale, approximately 10,000 people 
have either transferred to Loral, retired, or are on a preretirement leave 
from the company.  For informational purposes only, the Consolidated Statement 
of Operations for 1993, has been calculated on a quarterly basis to show the 
effects of removing the FSC operating revenues, costs, and expenses and is 
shown in Exhibit 99 on page 14.  The restated information is presented 
voluntarily and is provided solely to assist in understanding the quarterly 
effect of the sale. 

4.   The company changed its software amortization periods effective January 
1, 1994.  This change was a result of a continuing review of the company's 
portfolio of software offerings, software amortization periods, and 
recoverability of the capitalized investment on software products.  The change 
reduces amortization periods to a maximum of four years to recognize more 
rapid advances in software technology and a shorter period over which to 
recover capitalized costs.  Amortization periods formerly ranged up to six 
years.  This change resulted in an after-tax writedown of $192 million ($.33 
per common share).  The on-going impact of this change will increase software 
costs by about $25 million per quarter. 

5.   The translation and other adjustments line of Stockholders' Equity 
includes equity translation adjustments of $2,197 million at March 31, 1994, 
and $1,658 million at December 31, 1993.

6.   The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position includes balances
relative to restructuring programs in Accounts Payable and Accruals of 
approximately $4.3 billion and in Other Liabilities of approximately $1.6 
billion at March 31, 1994.  At December 31, 1993, Accounts Payable and 
Accruals included a restructuring balance of approximately $5.1 billion and 
Other Liabilities had a restructuring balance of approximately $1.6 billion.

ITEM  2. 
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
              OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION 
                    FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 

    The company has continued to review its business operations with a view to 
improving its competitive position and results from operations in light of the 
rapidly changing market for its products and services.  The information 
technology industry's demand has slowed, and it is suffering from sluggish 
worldwide economic growth.  The company's recent business results reflect 
these realities, as well as the shift in the mix of its revenue to offerings 
with lower gross profit margins, such as services and personal computers. 

     Overall, the company's hardware offerings remain under price and gross 
profit margin pressure.  High-end processors have suffered the most severe 
margin erosion on a year-to-year basis, although first-quarter 1994 margins 
remain stable from fourth-quarter 1993.  Personal computers have remained a 
low margin and very competitive business.  Recent volume trends have been 
positive for the personal computer and RISC System/6000* products.  Other 
hardware areas are expected to remain under competitive pressure consistent 
with recent experience.   The company's services offerings, other than 
maintenance, are growing rapidly, but are at lower profit margins than the 
company's hardware products have been in the past.  Due to the changing mix of 
revenue and associated gross profit margins, it remains uncertain as to when 
the pressure on the company's cost structure will be diminished. 

Results of Operations 

     The company's earnings and revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 1994, 
increased from those of a year ago.  The company had first-quarter 1994 net 
earnings of $392 million ($.64 per common share) compared with a net loss of 
$285 million ($.50 per common share) before the cumulative effect of SFAS 112, 
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," of $114 million ($.20 per 
common share) in the first quarter of 1993.  First-quarter 1994 revenues were 
$13.4 billion, a two percent increase from the same period of last year.  

     The company's first-quarter 1994 results include an after-tax gain of 
$248 million ($.43 per common share) from the sale of FSC and an after-tax 
writedown of $192 million ($.33 per common share) relating to a change in 
software amortization periods.  The company's first-quarter 1994 performance 
also does not reflect results from FSC, which were included in the 
first-quarter and full-year 1993 results.  Excluding these three items, the 
company's overall revenues grew six percent in the first quarter of 1994 
compared with the same period of 1993 and net earnings were $336 million ($.54 
per common share).  The average number of shares outstanding in the first 
quarter of 1994 was 582.1 million compared with 570.6 million in the same 
period of last year.

Results of Operations - (continued)

     The company's first quarter results had revenue growth in all 
geographies, except Canada, which was down slightly from first-quarter 1993.  
Expenses declined significantly and the company's overall gross profit margin, 
excluding the effects of the software writedown, was 39.2 percent in the first 
quarter of 1994, compared with an overall margin of 39.5 percent a year 
earlier.  Including the software writedown, the gross margin was 36.9 percent.  
This is the sixth straight quarter where the overall gross profit margin has 
been relatively stable between 38 and 39 percent.  Although the results are 
encouraging, the company believes that improvements are still needed in many 
areas to ensure long-term success.  

     Revenue from hardware sales was $6.3 billion, an increase of 9.2 percent 
from the comparable period of 1993.  The increase was driven by strong 
personal computer sales in all geographies, improved RISC System/6000 revenues 
and AS/400* revenues up slightly over the same period in 1993.  Mainframe and 
high-end storage product revenues declined when compared with the same period 
in 1993.

     Hardware sales gross profit was $1.9 billion, an increase of 13.4 percent 
over the first quarter of 1993.  The hardware sales gross profit margin was 
30.1 percent, an increase of 1.1 points over the comparable period of 1993. 
Although the hardware sales gross profit increased, it is still impacted by 
the continuing pricing pressures for high-end products and personal computers, 
as well as the shift in revenue to personal computers, which carry a lower 
gross profit margin, and are proportionally a larger part of hardware sales. 

     Software revenue was $2.6 billion, an increase of 2.5 percent from 
first-quarter 1993 levels.  Software gross profit was $1.3 billion, a decrease 
of 16.4 percent when compared to the same period in 1993.  Software gross 
profit margin was 51.2 percent, a decrease of 11.6 points from the first 
quarter of 1993.  The gross profit and gross profit margin decreases were a 
result of the software change described in footnote four on page six.  
Excluding the effects of this change, gross profit would have increased 2.2 
percent and the gross profit margin would have been 62.7 percent for the 
first-quarter 1994.

     Services revenue was $1.8 billion, a decrease of 3.8 percent when 
compared to the first quarter of 1993.  Gross profit was $.3 billion, a 
decrease of 31.9 percent from first-quarter 1993 and the gross profit margin 
was 15.3 percent, a decrease of 6.3 points from comparable period in 1993.  
The first-quarter 1994 results do not include operational results from FSC, 
which were included in the first-quarter 1993 results.  When adjusted for the 
effects of the FSC sale, services revenue would have increased 21.2 percent, 
gross profit would have decreased 26.6 percent, and the gross profit margin 
would have decreased 9.9 points, first-quarter 1994 versus first-quarter 1993.  
Services gross profit improvement is a focus item for the company.

Results of Operations - (continued)

     Maintenance revenue was $1.8 billion, a decrease of 2.0 percent from 1993 
first quarter levels.  Gross profit amounted to $.9 billion, an increase of 
1.2 percent.  The gross profit margin was 50.7 percent, up 1.6 points over the 
same period in 1993.  Maintenance continues to be a competitive business with 
revenue and gross profit margins expected to remain under pressure.

     Rentals and financing revenue was $.9 billion, a decrease of 15.5 percent 
from the first quarter of 1993.  Gross profit amounted to $.6 billion, a 
decrease of 10.2 percent from first-quarter 1993.  The gross profit margin was 
60.2 percent, an increase of 3.6 points over the comparable period in 1993.  
The decline in revenue and gross profit in 1994 is a result of lower high-end 
hardware placements in the first-quarter 1994 as compared to first-quarter 
1993.

     Selling, general and administrative expense was $3.1 billion, a decrease 
of 22.8 percent from 1993.  The decrease includes the before-tax gain from the 
FSC sale. Without this gain, selling, general and administrative expense 
declined 13.4 percent from 1993.  Research, development and engineering 
expense amounted to $1.1 billion, a decrease of 18.8 percent from 1993.  These 
decreases reflect the company's continued focus on productivity, restructuring 
programs, and expense controls.

     Other Income, principally interest, was $.4 billion, substantially higher 
when compared to the first quarter of 1993.  The increase was due primarily to 
higher levels of cash and higher interest rates notably in Brazil, whose 
economic environment is highly inflationary.  Although Other Income increased, 
exchange losses from currency revaluations of cash largely offset this 
increase.

     Interest expense not included as cost of financing was $.4 billion, an 
increase of 35.5 percent over 1993.  The increase is primarily as a result of 
higher levels of local currency debt notably in Brazil, whose economic 
environment is highly inflationary, where interest rates are high.  Although 
interest expense increased, this increase was substantially offset by exchange 
gains resulting from revaluations of the associated debt.  

     Exchange gains and losses are recorded as part of selling, general and 
administrative expense.  

     The company has substantial business interests in Brazil where the 
government is expected to introduce new monetary measures intended to reduce 
inflation and stabilize the local currency.  Although the company does not 
anticipate a material adverse financial impact, it continues to monitor the 
progress of these governmental actions.

     Interest on total borrowings of the company and its subsidiaries, which 
includes interest expense and interest costs associated with rentals and 
financing, amounted to $624 million for the first quarter of 1994.  Of this 
amount, $9 million was capitalized.

     The effective tax rate for the three months of 1994 was 42.8 percent 
versus 25.0 percent for the same period in 1993.  This increase was due to a 
number of factors, including the mix of earnings and weighting of tax rates on 
a country-by-country basis.

Financial Condition

     The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 1994, 
reflects improvement in the company's financial condition from December 31, 
1993, with increases in cash and stockholders equity, and decreases in total 
assets, outstanding debt, and total liabilities.

     Working capital at March 31, 1994, was $7.8 billion compared to $6.0 
billion at December 31, 1993.  Although total current assets remained 
approximately at year-end 1993 levels, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable 
securities increased $1.8 billion, offset by decreases in accounts receivable 
of $1.4 billion, inventories of $.2 billion, and prepaid expenses of $.2 
billion.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily attributable 
to the proceeds from the sale of FSC, and cash generated from operations, 
offset by payments to settle outstanding debt.  The decrease in accounts 
receivable largely results from the normally lower volumes associated with the 
first quarter.

     Current liabilities decreased $1.8 billion from December 31, 1993, due to 
declines in accounts payable and accruals of $1.0 billion, taxes of $.6 
billion, and short-term debt of $.2 billion.  The decrease in accounts payable 
and accruals is due to the normal seasonal decline of the accounts payable 
accrual balances from their year-end levels, as well as lower restructuring 
accrual balances, due to separation payments to employees as a result of the 
company's ongoing work force reduction programs.

     The company's capital expenditures for plant and other property were 
approximately $.3 billion for the first quarter of 1994, a decrease of $.2 
billion from the same period in 1993.

     In addition to software development expense included in research, 
development and engineering expense, the company capitalized $.3 billion of 
software costs during the first quarter of 1994, down slightly from the amount 
capitalized in the comparable 1993 period.  Ongoing amortization of 
capitalized software costs amounted to $.4 billion in the first quarter of 
both 1994 and 1993.  Additionally, the company incurred $.3 billion in 
accelerated amortization of capitalized software costs resulting from 
the software change described in footnote four on page six.

     Long-term debt declined from $15.2 billion at year-end 1993 to $14.9 
billion at March 31, 1994, resulting from the company's ongoing efforts to 
reduce its overall debt obligations.  Other non-current liabilities remained 
at $11.2 billion from December 31, 1993.

     Stockholders' equity increased from $19.7 billion at December 31, 1993 to 
$20.5 billion at March 31, 1994, as a result of increases in net retained 
earnings of $.2 billion, capital stock of $.1 billion, and equity translation 
adjustments of $.5 billion due to the majority of worldwide currencies 
strengthening versus the U.S. dollar during the period.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1994, the company had an overall net 
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 billion compared to a net 
increase of $.7 billion for the same period in 1993.

Financial Condition - (continued)

     Net cash provided from operating activities was $2.1 billion for the 
first three months of 1994, versus $1.4 billion in the comparable 1993 period.  
The period-to-period improvement in cash flow from operations is mainly driven 
by lower accounts receivable balances offset by a decrease in liabilities.

     Net cash provided from investing activities was $1.2 billion for the 
first three months of 1994, compared to a net use of funds in the amount of 
$.3 billion in the same period of 1993.  The increased cash flow from 
investing activities compared to the 1993 period is primarily attributable to 
the proceeds derived from the sale of FSC in March 1994.

     Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $.9 billion for the 
three months ended March 31, 1994, an increase of $.7 billion from the 
comparable 1993 period, principally the result of the company's ongoing 
efforts to reduce its overall outstanding debt obligations.

     The company has continued to take actions to further enhance its 
liquidity.  During the first quarter of 1994, the company received 
approximately $1.2 billion in cash proceeds from the sale and securitization 
of primarily trade receivables to investors. The majority of this activity is 
related to existing revolving securitization programs.  Additionally, during 
the first quarter, the company issued, in lieu of purchasing on the open 
market, 1.7 million shares of common stock to be sold to employees under the 
IBM Employees Stock Purchase Plan.
