                       Report of Independent Accountants

To the Participants, Beneficiaries and
 Administrators of the NCR Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the NCR Savings Plan (the Plan) at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedule H, "Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year," is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NCR Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Description of the Plan

     General

     The NCR Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan established
     on May 1, 1985 by NCR Corporation (the Company) to give the Company's
     employees more control over, and participation in, the accumulation of
     capital for their retirement.

     The Plan is designed to qualify as a profit-sharing plan with a qualified
     cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
     Code of 1986, as amended. It is also subject to the provisions of the
     Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     The Plan covers all eligible U.S. employees of the Company (other than
     certain categories of part-time, temporary and intern employees) and its
     domestic subsidiaries, except for employees covered by a collective
     bargaining agreement.

     Contributions and Funding

     All eligible employees of the Company may defer a portion of their
     compensation by making tax-deferred contributions, as well as after-tax
     contributions, to the Plan. Participants may elect to contribute up to
     twenty percent of their eligible compensation; however, tax-deferred
     contributions are limited to sixteen percent of eligible compensation. The
     maximum contribution percentage limits vary based upon the participant's
     base salary. Annual tax-deferred contributions per participant for the 1999
     and 1998 Plan years were limited to $10,000.

     For each dollar contributed by a participant up to six percent of
     compensation, the Company funds an additional matching amount. The
     Company's matching contributions are seventy-five percent of the first
     three percent of pay contributed by a participant and fifty percent of the
     next three percent of pay contributed by a participant, whether on a
     tax-deferred or after-tax basis.

     Participants direct their contributions, as well as the Company's matching
     contributions, among various investment strategies, as well as mutual
     funds, market index funds, a money market fund and the NCR Unitized Stock
     Fund, which invests primarily in NCR Common Stock. The investment
     strategies are comprised of a combination of mutual funds and are managed
     to derive returns subject to the associated risk tolerance.

     Vesting

     Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
     earnings thereon. Company matching contributions vest in increments of
     one-fifth each year, over a five-year period beginning with the
     participant's hire date.

                                       5
<PAGE>

NCR Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Participants become fully vested in their account (i) upon attainment of
     age 65, (ii) upon retirement, (iii) upon termination of employment due to a
     "reduction in force", (iv) in the event of death, or (v) in the event of
     total and permanent disability. Upon termination of employment,
     participants are entitled to full distribution of their contributions and
     all vested Company match contributions; all non-vested Company match
     contributions will be forfeited. These forfeitures are reallocated to the
     Plan's Very Conservative Strategy and used to reduce future Company
     matching contributions. During the Plan year, forfeitures used to offset
     Company matching contributions are considered immaterial in relation to the
     Plan taken as a whole.

     Participant Accounts

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
     contributions, Company contributions and Plan earnings. Participants'
     accounts are valued on a daily basis. The benefit to which a participant is
     entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested
     account balance.

     Participants may withdraw any employee tax-deferred contributions during
     their employment in the case of a "hardship" (as defined by the Plan), and
     participants may withdraw after-tax employee contributions for any reason.
     The participants may not withdraw any Company match contributions or any
     earnings on Company match or employee contributions until they terminate
     employment with the Company.

     Participant Loans

     Participants may borrow from the Plan, limited by restrictions set forth in
     the Plan document. A fixed interest rate is applied to the loan based on
     the prime rate (as reported by the Wall Street Journal) in effect on the
     twentieth business day of the month, prior to the month of the transaction.
     The term of the loan may be between 12 and 56 months. Upon default,
     participants are considered to have received a distribution and are subject
     to income taxes on the distribution amount.

     Termination of the Plan

     It is the present intention of the Company to continue the Plan
     indefinitely. However, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan
     at any time by action of the board of directors. No amendment or
     termination of the Plan may adversely affect a participant's accrued
     benefits on the date of the amendment or termination. No amendment may
     change the requirement that the assets of the Savings Plan Trust (the
     Trust) must be used for the exclusive benefit of the participants, the
     former participants and the beneficiaries.

     Upon termination of the Plan, the Company may, at its option, continue the
     Trust in existence or cause the Trust to be liquidated. If the Trust is
     liquidated, distributions will be made to the various participants, former
     participants and beneficiaries in a single lump sum promptly after
     liquidation is effective. If the Trust is not liquidated, distributions
     will be made to the various participants when they cease employment.

     For a complete description of the Plan, participants should refer to the
     Plan Prospectus.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Accounting

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual basis
     of accounting.

     In September 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
     issued Statement of Position 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain
     Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters" (SOP
     99-3). SOP 99-3 simplifies the disclosure for certain investments and is
     effective for plan years ending after December 15, 1999. Accordingly,
     information previously required to be disclosed about participant-directed
     fund investment programs is not presented in the Plan's 1999 financial
     statements. The Plan's 1998 financial statements have been presented to
     conform to the 1999 presentation.

     Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

     All of the Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for
     guaranteed investment contracts included in the Plan's Conservative
     Strategy which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles, are stated at contract value. Fair values have been estimated
     based on quoted market amounts of the underlying investments.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the
     average cost method.

     Plan Expenses

     All initial and ongoing administrative costs of the Plan are paid by the
     Company, except for a $50 participant loan application fee. Brokerage fees
     and commissions are included in the cost of investments when purchased and
     in determining the net proceeds on sales of investments. Investment
     management fees are paid from the respective assets of the investment
     option.

     The Plan's primary investment manager is Fidelity Investments (Fidelity).
     An affiliate of Fidelity serves as the record keeper for the Plan's
     participant data. Another affiliate of Fidelity serves as the trustee of
     the Plan.

     Payments to Withdrawing Participants

     The Plan records payments to withdrawing participants at the time of
     disbursement.

     Rollover Contributions and Transfers

     Participant rollover contributions and transfers from other defined
     contribution plans are included as participant contributions in the
     Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during
     the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.   Investments

     The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
     Plan's net assets.

NCR Saving Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.   Taxes

     The Company received its latest favorable determination letter dated
     November 6, 1995, from the Internal Revenue Service as to the qualified
     status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
     Code). Therefore, the Plan's Administrator believes that the Plan was
     qualified and the related Trust is exempt from federal income taxes under
     Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, income taxes are not provided for
     in the accompanying financial statements. Participant contributions, except
     for those contributions which participants elect to be tax-deferred under
     Section 401(k), are taxable to the participants in the year their
     contributions are made.

     Participants are liable for federal income taxes relative to their Section
     401(k) contributions, the Company match contributions and the earnings of
     the Plan when the contributions are distributed to them.

     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
     However, the Plan's Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that
     the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Code.
