NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring
accruals. Because of seasonal and other factors, results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.
a. During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company recorded an
extraordinary charge for the repurchases of debt of $7.7 million, net of
$5.1 million of income tax benefits, or $.04 per fully diluted common
share.
b. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions," and SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
adoption of SFAS 106 decreased net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1993 by $194.8 million, net of $124.5 million of income tax
benefits, or $.79 per fully diluted common share, and the adoption of
SFAS 109 increased net income for the three months ended March 31, 1993
by $425.0 million, or $1.73 per fully diluted common share.
c. In April 1993, the Company settled lawsuits with Honeywell Inc. in
connection with its sale of the Sperry Aerospace Group in December 1986.
As a result of the settlement, in the three months ended March 31, 1993,
the Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $26.4 million, net of
$16.8 million of income tax benefits, or $.11 per fully diluted common
share.
d. For the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, the computation
of primary earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
outstanding common shares and additional shares assuming the exercise of
stock options. The computation of fully diluted earnings per share, for
the three months ended March 31, 1994, assumes the conversion of the 8
1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due August 1, 2000. For the three
months ended March 31, 1993, in addition to the assumed conversion of
the Convertible Notes, the fully diluted earnings per share computation
also assumes the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares
used in the computations are as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company reported net
income of $60.0 million, or $.17 per primary and fully diluted common
share, compared to net income of $260.6 million, or $1.39 per primary
common share and $1.06 per fully diluted common share, for the three
months ended March 31, 1993. Net income for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1994 included a cost of $7.7 million, or $.04 per fully
diluted common share, as a result of an extraordinary charge for
repurchases of debt. Net income for the three months ended March 31,
1993 included an extraordinary charge of $26.4 million, or $.11 per
fully diluted common share, and a credit of $230.2 million, or $.94 per
fully diluted common share, as a result of the adoption of new
accounting standards.
Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 1994 was $1.7 billion,
down 11% from revenue of $1.9 billion for the first quarter ended March
31, 1993. The largest declines occurred in Europe and in the Government
Systems business units. Revenue in Europe was weaker than anticipated
and the Company's goal for slight revenue growth Company-wide in 1994
will be dependent on significant improvement in this market. Sales
revenue declined 18% to $1.0 billion from $1.2 billion in last years'
first quarter, due to decreases in sales of enterprise systems and
servers, departmental servers and desktop systems, software and custom
defense systems. Services revenue increased 11% to $385.4 million from
$346.5 million in last years' first quarter as the Company continued to
implement its strategy to aggressively grow its services and systems
integration business. Equipment maintenance revenue declined 11% to
$329.0 million from $371.4 million last year, due principally to a
decline in equipment sales and improved product reliability.
Total gross profit margin was 35% in the first quarter of 1994 compared
to 36% in the same period a year earlier. This decline was principally
due to a higher proportion of lower margin services revenue offset in
part by favorable contract resolutions which improved sales gross profit
margin. Sales gross profit margin was 40% in both periods; services
gross profit margin was 20% in the current quarter compared to 19% last
year; and equipment maintenance gross profit margin was 40% in both
periods. Gross profit margins are expected to be pressured by
competitive pricing and the continuing shift to lower margin products
and services.
In the first quarter of 1994, selling, general and administrative
expenses were $353.0 million compared to $406.4 million in the first
quarter of 1993. The decline was principally due to the effects of cost
containment actions and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency translation
and nonrecurring expense reductions.
Research and development expenses were $121.6 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 1994 compared to $130.3 million a year earlier.
As a result of the above, operating income was $123.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 or 7% of revenue, compared to $152.4
million, or 8% of revenue, in the year ago period. The decline in
operating income was principally due to lower revenue. Partially
offsetting this decline were further cost reductions and favorable
contract resolutions which included a royalty settlement with an OEM
supplier. Given ongoing structural change in the industry and weakness
in some markets, the Company continues to rely on cost reductions as a
principal means for driving profit.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (cont'd.)
Interest expense was $52.0 million compared with $72.1 million a year
earlier, principally reflecting lower average debt levels.
Other income in the first quarter of 1994 was $24.3 million compared to
$3.2 million in the year ago period. The change is principally due to
a smaller provision under the 1991 "Ill Wind" settlement agreement,
which requires the Company to make contingency payments based on
proceeds from asset sales and on net income. Other income in the first
quarter of 1994 includes a charge of $6.0 million for such contingency
payments compared to $20.0 million in the year ago period. The maximum
contingent amount payable for 1994 under this settlement agreement is
$30.0 million; the maximum contingent amount payable for 1993 was $20.0
million, all of which was provided for in the first quarter of 1993.
It is the Company's policy to minimize its exposure to foreign currency
fluctuations. On a net basis, and after taking into account the cost of
the Company's hedging program, foreign currency effects had a minimal
effect on pretax results for the three months ended March 31, 1994.
Estimated income taxes were $27.6 million in the first quarter of 1994
compared to $26.7 million in the first quarter of 1993.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $60.0 million
compared to $260.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.
Income before extraordinary items and changes in accounting principles
for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $67.7 million compared to
$56.8 million in the year ago period.
Excluding the effects of extraordinary items and accounting changes,
fully diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 1994
were $.21 compared to $.23 for the first quarter of 1993. Because of
the additional income caused by the accounting changes adopted in 1993,
the earnings per share computation for 1993 assumed the conversion of
Series A preferred stock. The 1994 computation does not assume such
conversion since it would be antidilutive. If the 1993 computation had
been made on a basis comparable to that of 1994, fully diluted earnings
per common share before extraordinary items and changes in accounting
principles would have been $.16 per share for the three months ended
March 31, 1993 compared to $.21 per share for the three months ended
March 31, 1994.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (cont'd.)
Extraordinary Items and Accounting Changes
During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company repurchased
and redeemed $112.5 million of debt. The associated costs resulted in
an extraordinary charge of $7.7 million, net of $5.1 million of income
tax benefits, or $.04 per fully diluted common share.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," and SFAS 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
SFAS 112 establishes financial accounting standards for employers that
provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment but
before retirement. SFAS 115 establishes financial accounting standards
for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair
values and for all investments in debt securities. The effect of
adoption of these statements on the Company's consolidated financial
position and results of operations was immaterial.
In April 1993, the Company settled lawsuits with Honeywell Inc. in
connection with its sale of the Sperry Aerospace Group in December 1986.
As a result of the settlement, in the three months ended March 31, 1993,
the Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $26.4 million, net of
$16.8 million of income tax benefits, or $.11 per fully diluted common
share.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," and SFAS
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The adoption of SFAS 106 decreased
net income for the three months ended March 31, 1993 by $194.8 million,
net of $124.5 million of income tax benefits, or $.79 per fully diluted
common share, and the adoption of SFAS 109 increased net income for the
three months ended March 31, 1993 by $425.0 million, or $1.73 per fully
diluted common share.
Financial Condition
During the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Company's operations
used $7.0 million cash whereas operations generated $230.4 million cash
in the same period a year earlier. Cash flow from operations decreased
from a year ago as less cash was generated from reductions in
inventories and accounts receivable.
Investments in properties and rental equipment during the first quarter
of 1994 were $43.6 million compared to $39.1 million in last years'
first quarter.
At March 31, 1994, total debt was $1.95 billion, a decline of $105.2
million from December 31, 1993 principally due to the repurchases and
redemptions discussed above. The Company intends to continue
repurchases or redemptions from time to time. Cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities at March 31, 1994 were $696.8 million compared
to $950.5 million at December 31, 1993. During the three months ended
March 31, 1994, debt net of cash and marketable securities increased
$148.5 million. As a percent of total capital, debt net of cash and
marketable securities at March 31, 1994 was 32% compared to 29% at
December 31, 1993.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (cont'd.)
In February 1994, the Company declared a Series A preferred stock
dividend which was paid on April 15, 1994. On April 1, 1994, the
Company declared a Series B and C preferred stock dividend which was
also paid on April 15, 1994. These dividends included full payment for
all preferred stock dividend arrearages.
Stockholders' equity decreased $64.4 million during the first quarter of
1994, principally reflecting net income of $60.0 million, offset by
preferred dividends of $112.2 million and unfavorable currency
translation adjustments of $14.0 million.
At March 31, 1994, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of
deferred tax liabilities of $1,123 million. For the reasons cited
below, management believes that it is more likely than not that $773
million of such assets will be realized, therefore resulting in a
valuation allowance of $350 million. In assessing the likelihood
of realization of this asset, the Company has considered various factors
including its forecast of future taxable income and available tax
planning strategies that could be implemented to realize deferred tax
assets.
The principal basis used to assess the likelihood of realization was the
Company's forecast of future taxable income which was adjusted by
applying varying probability factors to the achievement of this
forecast. Forecasted taxable income is expected to arise from ordinary
and recurring operations and to be sufficient to realize the entire
amount of net deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.3 billion of future
taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net
deferred tax assets.
The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The major portion of such
carryforwards expire beyond the year 2003. In addition, substantial
amounts of foreign net operating losses have an indefinite carryforward
period. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the
ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. In recent years,
the computer industry has undergone dramatic changes and there can be no
assurance that in the future there could not be increased competition or
other factors which may result in a decline in sales or margins, loss of
market share, or technological obsolescence. The Company will evaluate
quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax assets by assessing
its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance if
necessary.
In 1994, the Company may settle certain open tax years with the Internal
Revenue Service, which could result in cash payments by the Company of
approximately $125 million. These payments will not affect earnings
since provision for these taxes has been made in prior years.
