Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- ------------------------------------------


1. In the opinion of management of International Business Machines Corporation
(the company), all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results for
the unaudited three and six month periods have been made. In the first quarter
of 1994, in addition to the adjustments for normal recurring accruals, the
company recorded charges of $296 million for software writedowns and an
after-tax gain of $248 million for the sale of its Federal Systems Company
(FSC).

2. The translation and other adjustments line of stockholders' equity includes
equity translation adjustments of $3,959 million at June 30, 1995, and $2,672
million at December 31, 1994.

3. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at June 30, 1995 includes
balances relative to restructuring programs in Accounts payable and accruals of
approximately $.3 billion, and $.6 billion in Plant, rental machines and other
property. At December 31, 1994, the approximate restructuring balances were $1.3
billion in Accounts payable and accruals, $.1 billion in Other liabilities, and
$.9 billion in Plant, rental machines and other property. Although utilization
of restructuring reserves in the first half of 1995 was slightly lower than
anticipated, the company has determined that the restructuring reserve balances
are adequate to cover committed restructuring actions and will be fully utilized
prior to December 31, 1995.

4. A supplemental Consolidated Statement of Operations schedule has been
provided for informational purposes only, to exclude the effects of the FSC sale
and software writedowns recorded in the first quarter of 1994. The supplemental
statement is shown in exhibit 99 on page 21. This information is presented
voluntarily and is provided solely to assist in understanding the effects of
these items on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

5. Subsequent Event: On July 5, 1995, the company announced that it successfully
completed its tender offer to acquire the common stock of Lotus Development
Corporation at $64 per share. Please refer to pages 16 and 17 (Item 5) for
additional information regarding this acquisition. The financial results
reported for the six months of 1995, do not reflect any impacts of this
acquisition.

6. Subsequent Event: On July 25, 1995, the IBM Board of Directors authorized the
company to purchase up to an additional $2.5 billion of IBM common stock. The
company plans to purchase the shares on the open market from time to time,
depending on market conditions. On January 31, 1995, the IBM Board of Directors
authorized the company to repurchase up to $2.5 billion of IBM common shares. As
of July 21, 1995, the company had repurchased $2.1 billion of the company's
common stock under the January authorization.

ITEM 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      ------------------------------------
                OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                ------------------------------------------------
                FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
                ------------------------------------------------

    The company's second quarter results were strong as revenue, earnings, and
earnings per share showed significant improvement over the second quarter of
1994. The overall gross profit margin strengthened to 43.5 percent and the
balance sheet remained strong. Cash balances held at first quarter levels of
$10.5 billion after $1.4 billion of stock repurchases and $500 million in cash
restructuring costs. Although the second quarter results are encouraging, the
company's business improved each quarter last year, which will make
year-over-year financial comparisons more difficult in the second half of 1995.
Also, demand is slowing for some offerings and price pressures are increasing in
the United States and a number of key European countries remain sluggish.

share, compared with earnings of $1.78 per common share in the first six months
of 1994. The company's first quarter 1994 results include an after-tax gain of
$248 million ($.43 per common share) from the sale of the FSC and an after tax
writedown of $192 million ($.33 per common share) relating to a change in
software amortization periods. Excluding these items, the company's adjusted
earnings per common share was $1.68 for the first six months of 1994. Total
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were up 15.8 percent from the
prior year. The average number of common shares outstanding for the period was

     Reported revenue grew in all geographic areas in the second quarter when
compared with last year's second quarter. Revenue from the United States totaled
$6.4 billion, an increase of 8.4 percent from the same period of last year.
Revenue from Europe/Middle East/Africa totaled $6.1 billion, up 11.5 percent

percent. Revenue from Latin America was $742 million, up 19.7 percent, while
revenue from Canada grew 13.6 percent to $659 million when compared with the
same period of 1994.

     Currency had about a 7 percent point favorable impact on the company's
revenue results in the second quarter. Excluding the effects of currency, sales
growth in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific ranged from
satisfactory to strong, while results in Europe were disappointing.

     Total expenses fell $104 million in the second quarter from the comparable
period of 1994.

Gross profit margin               40.1%        33.2%        39.1%        31.8%


     Revenue from hardware sales for the second quarter and first six months of
1995 increased 12.5 percent and 17.4 percent, respectively, over comparable
periods in 1994. The second quarter and first six-months revenue had a benefit
of about 7 points and 6 points, respectively, from currency in 1995.

     The hardware sales revenue increase was driven by continued strong growth
in AS/400* and RISC/6000* products on both a second-quarter and six-month basis
when compared to the same periods in 1994.

     Personal computers revenue increased year-over-year for both the second
quarter and first six months of 1995 and were particularly strong in
Asia-Pacific and Latin America, while weak in Europe.

    Storage products had good revenue growth, when compared to 1994
second-quarter and six-months results, driven by high-end shipments of RAMAC
product. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products continued to show growth
in both the second-quarter and first six-months results when compared to the
same periods of 1994.

- ----------------------------------

    System/390* revenue declined in the second quarter of 1995 but showed an
increase for the first six months of 1995, when compared to the same periods of
the prior year. Although second quarter revenue decreased from the same period
last year due to price reductions, mainframe demand remained strong, as measured
in MIPS (millions of instructions per second).

    Hardware sales gross profit dollars for the second quarter and first six
months of 1995, increased 35.6 percent and 44.0 percent, respectively, over
comparable periods in 1994. The increases were driven by cost improvements as a
result of prior restructuring actions, reengineering activities, and increased
revenue growth in key product areas. Although margins increased, they continue
to be affected by competitive pricing pressures on high-end products and
personal computers.

     Revenue from software for the second quarter and first six months of 1995,
increased 12.7 percent and 12.0 percent, respectively, over comparable periods
in 1994. The second-quarter and first-six months results had a benefit of about
8 points and 7 points, respectively, from currency in 1995. These increases were
primarily driven by higher one-time-charge revenue in distributed software
associated with strong AS/400 shipments and strong sales of desktop software
during 1995.

     Software gross profit dollars for the second quarter and six months of 1995
increased 17.7 percent and 28.1 percent, respectively, versus the same periods
in 1994. The 1994 six-month gross profit dollars and margin were affected by the
accounting charges relating to the change in software amortization periods
implemented in the first quarter of 1994. Excluding the effects of this change,
1995 gross profit dollars would have increased 16.5 percent and the gross profit
margin would have increased 2.6 points from the first six months of 1994.

respectively, from currency in the second quarter and first six months of 1995.

    Rentals and financing revenue increased in the second quarter 4.9 percent
and decreased .5 percent for the first six months of 1995, when compared to the
same periods of 1994. The second quarter and six months revenue had a benefit of
about 5 points and 6 points, respectively, from currency in 1995. The 1995
results reflect a substantial increase in new financing originations versus
1994.

    Rentals and financing gross profit dollars declined 1.6 percent and 8.5
percent, respectively, for the second quarter and first six month's of 1995,
when compared to the same periods of the prior year. These decreases are a
reflection of declining prices on high-end products and the rental business over
the past few years and to changing country mix.

    Selling, general and administrative expense decreased 1.3 percent in the
second quarter of 1995, and increased 6.1 percent for the first six months of
1995, when compared to the same periods in 1994. Excluding the effects of
currency, the second quarter results would have shown a decrease of about 7
percent from 1994 levels. The first six-months results of 1994 included the $382
million gain from the sale of FSC. Excluding this gain and the effects of
currency (about $400 million), selling, general and administrative expense would
have decreased by about 5.4 percent.

    Research, development and engineering expense, which is primarily performed
in the United States, decreased 10.7 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively for
the second quarter and first six months of 1995, when compared to the same
periods of 1994. These decreases reflect the company's focus on productivity and
expense controls.

Results of Operations - (continued)
- ----------------------------------


     Other income, principally interest and interest expense decreased from 1994
second quarter and first six month levels due primarily to the switch to the
REAL currency in Brazil in July, 1994. This change reduced the company's
interest income and interest expense, as well as the exchange gains and losses
associated with the local currency cash deposits and borrowings, which are a
component of selling, general and administrative expense.

     Interest on total borrowings of the company and its subsidiaries, which
includes interest expense and interest costs associated with rentals and
financing, amounted to $413 million and $802 million for the second quarter and
first six months of 1995, respectively. Of these amounts, $6 million for the
second quarter and $10 million for the first six months were capitalized.

    The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, was 39.2
percent, versus 42.3 percent for the same period in 1994. The decrease is
primarily the result of the mix of earnings and corresponding weighting of tax
rates on a country-by-country basis.

     The effective tax rate for the first six months of 1995 was 40.0 percent,
versus a 42.5 percent for the same period in 1994. The change is a result of the
same factors that impacted the second quarter effective tax rate.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

    The company's financial condition continued to strengthen during the first
half of 1995. The total of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at
June 30, 1995 was virtually flat from year-end levels of $10.5 billion, despite
spending $2.7 billion for common and preferred stock buybacks and $1.4 billion
in restructuring costs.

Working capital                    $ 13,172          $ 12,112

     Total current assets increased $.4 billion from year-end 1994 with an
increase in prepaid expenses of $1.0 billion, offset by decreases in accounts
receivable of $.4 billion and $.2 billion in inventories. The increase in
prepaid expenses results primarily from the seasonal increase in deferred
account and prepaid activity from year-end levels. The decrease in accounts
receivable largely results from continued improvement in accounts receivable
collections worldwide. The decline in inventories reflects the company's
continuing efforts to improve management of inventories, particularly personal
computer inventories.

<PAGE>


Financial Condition - (continued)
- ---------------------------------

     Current liabilities declined $.7 billion from December 31, 1994, due to a
decrease in accounts payable and accruals of $2.7 billion, offset by increases
in taxes of $.3 billion and short-term debt of $1.7 billion. The decrease in
accounts payable and accruals relates to the normal seasonal decline in accounts
payable from their year-end levels, as well as lower restructuring accrual
balances resulting from implementation of the company's restructuring programs.
The increase in taxes payable results from the improvement in earnings, as well
as the impact of currency fluctuations on these balances from December 31, 1994.
The increase in short-term debt is attributable to the reclassification of
long-term debt current maturities to short-term, as well as the effect of
currency on these balances.

Investments
- -----------

     The company's capital expenditures for plant, rental machines and other
property were approximately $1.7 billion for the first half of 1995, an increase
of $.5 billion from the comparable 1994 period.

     In addition to software development expense included in research,
development and engineering expense, the company capitalized $.5 billion of
software costs during the first half of 1995, down $.1 billion from the
comparable 1994 period. Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to
$.8 billion in the first half of 1995 and $1.1 billion for the comparable 1994
period (including $.3 billion in accelerated amortization resulting from the
software amortization change implemented in the first quarter of 1994).

Long-Term Debt and Equity
- -------------------------

     Long-term debt was $11.7 billion at June 30, 1995, a decrease of $.8
billion from year-end 1994. Other non-current liabilities at $14.3 billion
increased $.3 billion from December 31, 1994, principally the result of the
currency impact of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the majority of worldwide
currencies.

     Stockholders' equity increased from $23.4 billion at December 31, 1994 to
$24.8 billion as a result of increases in net retained earnings of $1.1 billion,
and equity translation adjustments of $1.3 billion due to the majority of
worldwide currencies strengthening versus the U.S. dollar during the period.
Preferred and common stock balances declined $1.0 billion due to implementation
of the stock buyback programs announced in January of 1995.

     Net change in cash and cash equivalents           $ 1,971     $ 1,520

     For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the company had an overall net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 billion compared to a net increase
of $1.5 billion for the same period in 1994.

     Net cash provided from operating activities was $4.6 billion for the first
six months of 1995, versus $4.4 billion in the comparable 1994 period. The
period-to-period improvement in cash flow from operations is mainly driven by
improvement in net earnings and lower accounts receivable balances, offset by a
decrease in liabilities resulting from implementation of the company's
restructuring plans.

     Net cash provided from investing activities was $.1 billion for the first
six months of 1995, compared to a net source of funds in the amount of $.2
billion in the same period of 1994. The decreased cash flow from investing
activities compared to the 1994 period is attributable to the proceeds derived
from the sale of FSC in March 1994, partially offset by cash inflows during the
first half of 1995 from the sale of marketable securities.

     Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $3.2 billion for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $.2 billion from the comparable 1994
period, principally the result of the company's buyback of preferred and common
stock on the open market, partially offset by decreased net cash outflows
relative to the company's outstanding debt.

Liquidity
- ---------

     At June 30, 1995, the company had a net balance of $1.0 billion in assets
under management from the securitization of lease and trade receivables.

Financial Condition - (continued)

     On January 11, 1995, the company commenced a tender offer to purchase for
cash any and all of the Series A 7 1/2 percent preferred stock represented by
44.6 million outstanding depositary shares for a price of $25.00 net per
depositary share. Through February 8, 1995, the company purchased 34.1 million
depositary shares under this offer.

     On February 28, 1995, the company's Board of Directors authorized IBM to
repurchase any of its remaining outstanding Series A 7 1/2 percent preferred
stock depositary shares from time to time in the open market and in private
transactions, depending on market conditions. During the first half of 1995, the
company repurchased 57 thousand of its preferred depositary shares under this
authorization. As of June 30, 1995, 10.4 million depositary shares remained
outstanding.

     On January 31, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the company to
repurchase up to $2.5 billion of IBM common shares on the open market. The
company plans to purchase the shares from time to time, depending on market
conditions. Through June 30, 1995, the company repurchased approximately 21.3
million shares of IBM common stock for approximately $1.9 billion under this
program.

ITEM 5. Other Information
- -------------------------

    On June 5, 1995, IBM announced plans to make a tender offer for all of the
outstanding common shares and preferred share purchase rights of Lotus
Development Corporation, a leading software developer located in Cambridge,
Massachusetts. The tender offer was at a price of $60 per common share, and was
initiated by a subsidiary of IBM, White Acquisition Corporation, which was
created for this transaction.

ITEM 5. Other Information - (continued)
- ---------------------------------------

     On June 12, 1995, IBM and Lotus Development Corporation announced a
definitive merger agreement under which IBM would pay $64 per Lotus share in
cash for all Lotus' outstanding shares and preferred share purchase rights. The
transaction has a total equity value of approximately $3.5 billion. IBM financed
the offer from its approximately $10 billion in cash on hand.

     On July 5, 1995, IBM announced that it successfully completed its tender
offer to acquire the common stock of Lotus Development Corporation at $64 per
share. Approximately 97 percent of the 47.4 million outstanding Lotus shares had
been accepted for payment following completion of the tender offer on July 3.
Under the terms of the merger, each share which was not tendered pursuant to the
tender offer was converted into the right to receive $64 in cash.

     The financial results of the Lotus Development Corporation when
consolidated will not have a material effect on IBM's results or financial
position. However, this acquisition will result in a significant one-time,
non-cash charge against IBM's earnings. The charge will involve accounting
writedowns of the amounts to be assigned to research and development of Lotus
software under development. The charge will be taken in the third quarter of
1995. The specific amount of the charge cannot be determined at this time based
on currently available information. However, the company expects that the charge
will have a significant effect on net earnings of IBM in the third quarter of
1995, and on net earnings for the year.

    On July 25, 1995, the company announced that Cathleen Black, president and
chief executive officer, Newspaper Association of America, had been elected to
the company's Board of Directors.
