NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Basis of Presentation

Company

EMC Corporation and its subsidiaries ("EMC" or the "Company") design,
manufacture, market and support a wide range of storage-related hardware,
software and service products for the mainframe, open systems and network
computer storage markets worldwide.  These products are sold as storage
solutions for customers utilizing a variety of computer system platforms,
including, but not limited to, International Business Machines
Corporation ("IBM") and IBM-compatible mainframe, Unisys Corporation,
Compagnie des Machines Bull S.A., Hewlett-Packard Company, NCR
Corporation and other open systems platforms.

Change in Fiscal Year End

On September 23, 1996, EMC elected to change its fiscal year end
from a fiscal basis which would have ended on December 28, 1996
to a calendar year end basis ending on December 31, 1996.
Consequently, the Company's third quarter ended on September 30, 1996.
The Company reported this change on Form 8-K on October 4, 1996.

Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
These statements include the accounts of EMC and its subsidiaries.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or
omitted.   The interim consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods ended September  30, 1996 and 1995.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the 1996 presentation.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the  entire
fiscal year.  It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 30, 1995, which are contained
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 27, 1996.

3.  Net Income Per Share

Net income per share was computed on the basis of weighted
average common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.
Primary weighted average shares outstanding and earnings used in per
share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 reflect the dilutive effects of the 4 1/4%
convertible subordinated notes due 2001 (the  "Notes") and outstanding
stock options. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding and
earnings used in per share computations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 reflect the dilutive effects of the 6 1/4% convertible
subordinated debentures (the "Debentures"), which were either converted or
redeemed on or prior to April 1, 1995, in addition to the dilutive effect
of the Notes and outstanding stock options.


4.  Litigation

The Company is a party to litigation which it considers routine
and incidental to its business.  Management does not expect the
results of any of these actions to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

On September 16, 1996, the Company was served with civil
investigative demands ("CIDs") by the Antitrust Division of the
United States Department of Justice in connection with the Department's
investigation into the agreement dated June 7, 1996 between IBM and
Storage Technology Corporation (the "IBM/STK Agreement").  The Justice
Department  is gathering evidence to determine whether the IBM/STK
Agreement has been, is, or may be in violation of the federal Sherman
Antitrust Act.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Third Quarter of 1996 compared to Third Quarter of 
1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $550,754,000 compared
to $475,460,000 for the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $75,294,000 or
16%.

The increase in revenues was due primarily to the continued strong demand
for the Company's series of Integrated Cached Disk Array ("ICDA") based
products, particularly the open systems products which include the Symmetrix
3000 series of products and the Centriplex series of products.

Revenues from products sold directly and through original equipment
manufacturers ("OEM's") into the mainframe storage market, which include
Symmetrix products operating primarily in the Multiple Virtual Storage
("MVS") environment, were $305,605,000 in the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $344,467,000 in the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of
$38,862,000 or 11%.

Revenues from products sold into the open systems storage market,
which include the Symmetrix products operating in an open systems
environment and the Centriplex series of products, were $182,613,000 in
the third quarter of 1996, compared to $58,555,000 in the third quarter
of 1995, an increase of $124,058,000 or 212%.

Revenues from products sold by McDATA Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of EMC ("McDATA"), which include the ESCON Director series of
products, were $43,776,000 in the third quarter of 1996, compared to
$42,426,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of
$1,350,000 or 3%. Revenues from all other products, which include the
midrange series of products, were $4,285,000 in the third quarter of 1996,
compared to $20,371,000 in the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of
$16,086,000 or 79%.

Revenues from service and rental income were $14,475,000 in the
third quarter of 1996, compared to $9,641,000 in the third quarter of
1995, an increase of $4,834,000 or 50%.

On October 31, 1995, the Company entered into a reseller agreement
with Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") wherein HP will market and resell
the Symmetrix 3000 family of systems worldwide for connection to HP's
9000 series computers.  This agreement has been expanded to enable HP
to also market and resell this family of systems for connection to
HP's 3000 series computers. The agreement currently extends to June
30, 1997.

Revenues on sales into the markets of North America and South America
were $331,374,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $299,941,000 
in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $31,433,000, or 10%.
This increase was due primarily to increased revenue levels from sales
of the Symmetrix series of products in the open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets of Europe, Africa and the Middle
East were $173,724,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$148,901,000 in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $24,823,000,
or 17%, due primarily to increased revenue levels from sales of the
Symmetrix series of products in the open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets in the Asia Pacific region were
$45,656,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $26,618,000 in the
third quarter of 1995, an increase of $19,038,000, or 72%, due to
increased revenue levels from sales of the Symmetrix series of
products, in both the mainframe and open systems storage markets.

Cost of Sales and Service

Cost of sales and service increased to 55.6% of revenues in the
third quarter of 1996, compared to 50.5% of revenues in the third
quarter of 1995.   This increase is primarily attributable to the impact
of price declines in the mainframe and open systems storage
markets being greater than the impact of cost declines in raw material
components. Factors mitigating this increase were growth of software
revenues and open systems product revenues, each of which have relatively
lower costs of sales.  The Company currently believes that price declines
will continue.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $41,151,000 and $41,297,000
in the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of
$146,000, or 0.4%.  R&D expenses were 7.5% and 8.7% of revenues in the
third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The dollar decrease in R&D
spending reflects the consolidation of domestic development efforts and
the capitalization of software development costs primarily related to
specific software products.   The decrease was partially offset by the
cost of additional technical staff and depreciation expenses associated
with capital equipment acquired to facilitate development.   The Company
expects to continue to spend substantial amounts for R&D for the balance
of 1996 and thereafter.

<PAGE>

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $90,268,000
and $76,474,000 in the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively,
an increase of $13,794,000 or 18.0%. SG&A expenses were 16.4% and 16.1%
of revenues in the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The dollar increase is due primarily to costs associated with additional
worldwide sales and support personnel and their related overhead costs.
These costs are attributable to the Company's increased revenue levels
and the Company's initiatives to expand its open systems storage products,
expansion of the international direct sales force and OEM and strategic
alliance programs.  SG&A expenses are expected to increase in dollar terms
for the balance of 1996 and thereafter.

Investment Income

Investment income was $9,537,000 in the third quarter of 1996
compared with $5,040,000 in the same period a year ago.  Interest income
was earned from investments in cash equivalents, and short and long-term
investments.   Investment income increased in 1996 primarily due to higher
cash and investment balances in the third quarter of 1996  than in the
same period in 1995.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $29,134,000 and $34,178,000 in the
third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively, which resulted in an
effective tax rate of 24.4% in the third quarter of 1996 and  28.6%
in the third quarter of 1995.  The decrease in the effective tax rate
is mainly attributable to the realization of benefits associated with
the continued progress on the Company's various  tax  strategies.
The Company provides for income taxes based upon its estimate of full
year earnings on a country-by-country basis.

Results  of  Operations - First Nine Months of 1996 compared to First 
Nine Months of 1995 
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $1,617,258,000 
compared to $1,402,129,000 for the first nine months of 1995, an increase of 
$215,129,000 or 15%.

The increase in revenues was due primarily to the continued strong demand 
for the Company's series of Integrated Cached Disk Array ("ICDA") based 
products, particularly the open systems products which include the Symmetrix 
3000 series of products and the Centriplex series of products.

Revenues from products sold directly and through OEM's into the mainframe 
storage market, which include Symmetrix products operating primarily in 
the MVS environment, were $924,254,000 in the first nine months of 1996,

$162,533,000 or 15%.

Revenues from products sold into the open systems storage market, which
include the Symmetrix products operating in an open systems environment
and the Centriplex series of products, were $498,902,000 in the first
nine months of 1996, compared to $99,126,000 in the first nine months
of 1995, an increase of $399,776,000 or 403%.

Revenues from products sold by McDATA, which include the ESCON Director
series of products, were $129,052,000 in the first nine months of 1996,
compared to $112,658,000 in the first nine months of 1995, an increase
of $16,394,000 or 15%.

Revenues from all other products, which include the midrange series  of
products, were $26,490,000 in the first nine months of 1996, compared
to $71,730,000 in the first nine months of 1995, a decrease of $45,240,000 
or 63%.

Revenues from service and rental income were $38,560,000 in the first
nine months of 1996, compared to $31,828,000 in the first nine months
of 1995, an increase of $6,732,000 or 21%.

On October 31, 1995, the Company entered into a reseller agreement with
Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") wherein HP will market and resell the
Symmetrix 3000 family of systems worldwide for connection to HP's 9000
series computers.  This agreement has been expanded to enable HP to
also market and resell this family of systems for connection to HP's

Revenues on sales into the markets of North America and South America
increased by $120,254,000, or 14%, to $972,392,000 in the first nine
months of 1996 from $852,138,000 in the first nine months of 1995.
This increase was due primarily to increased revenue levels from sales
of the Symmetrix series of products in the open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets of Europe, Africa and the Middle
East increased by $54,617,000, or 12%, to $502,983,000 in the first
nine months of 1996 from $448,366,000 in the first nine months of 1995,
due primarily to increased revenue levels from sales of the Symmetrix
series of products in the open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets in the Asia Pacific region increased
by $40,258,000, or 40%, to $141,883,000 in the first nine months of
1996 from  $101,625,000 in the first nine months of 1995, due to increased 
revenue levels from sales of the Symmetrix  series of products, in both 
the mainframe and open systems storage markets.

Cost of Sales and Service

Cost of sales and service increased to 55.9% of revenues in the first
nine months of 1996, compared to 49.2% of revenues in the first nine
months of 1995.  This increase is primarily attributable to the impact
of price declines in the mainframe and open systems storage markets
being greater than the impact of cost declines in raw material
components.  Factors mitigating this increase were the growth of
software revenues and open systems product revenues, each of which have
relatively lower costs of sales. The Company currently believes that
price declines will continue.

In May 1996, the Company opened its International Customer Support
Center, based in Ireland, to provide primary response for all technical
support issues related to EMC storage systems installed outside of
North America.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $116,101,000 and
$125,188,000 in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively, a
decrease of $9,087,000, or 7.3%.  R&D expenses were 7.2% and 8.9% of
revenues in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
dollar decrease in R&D spending reflects the consolidation of domestic
development efforts and the capitalization of software development
costs primarily related to specific software products.   The decrease
was partially  offset by the cost of additional technical staff and
depreciation expenses associated with capital equipment acquired to
facilitate development.  The Company expects to continue to spend
substantial amounts for R&D for the balance of 1996 and thereafter.

<PAGE>

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $259,190,000
and $222,760,000 in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively,  
an increase of $36,430,000 or 16.4%. SG&A expenses were 16.0%  and 15.9% 
of revenues in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
The dollar increase is due primarily to costs associated with additional 
worldwide sales and support personnel and their related overhead costs.
These costs are attributable to the Company's increased revenue levels 
and the Company's initiatives to expand its open systems storage products, 
expansion of the international direct sales force and OEM and strategic 
alliance programs. SG&A expenses are expected to increase in dollar
terms for the balance of 1996 and thereafter.

Investment Income and Interest Expense

Investment income was $23,903,000 in the first nine months of 1996 
compared with $17,476,000 in the same period a year ago. Interest income 
was earned from investments in cash equivalents, and short and long-term  
investments.  Investment income increased in the first nine months of 1996 
primarily due to higher cash and investment balances in the first nine months
of 1996 than in the same period in 1995.

Interest expense decreased slightly in the first nine months of 1996 from 
the same period in 1995, primarily due to conversion and redemption of the 
Debentures in the first quarter of 1995.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $90,369,000 and $108,153,000
in the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively, which
resulted in an effective tax rate of 25.6% and 29.0%, respectively.  
The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly attributable to the 
realization of benefits associated with the continued progress on the
Company's various tax strategies.  The Company provides for income taxes  
based upon its estimate of full year earnings on a country-by-country
basis. 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and short-term investments were $593,407,000 and $379,628,000  
at September 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995, respectively.

Cash and short and long-term investments were $758,915,000
and $504,904,000 at September 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995,
respectively. In the first nine months of 1996, cash and short  
and long-term investments increased by $254,011,000.


<PAGE>

Cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of
1996 amounted to $347,257,000.  This was primarily generated from net
income and working capital management.  Cash used by investing
activities was $133,953,000, principally for additions to property,  
plant and equipment, and the purchase of long-term investments.  Cash
provided by financing activities was $402,000, principally due to
proceeds from stock option exercises, offset by repurchases
of treasury stock.

The Company currently expects to generate a further increase in
cash and short and long-term investments from operations over the
balance of 1996.

At September 30, 1996, the Company had available for use its
credit lines of $72,000,000.  The Company may elect to borrow at
any time from these credit lines.   Based on its current operating  
and capital expenditure forecasts, the Company believes funds currently  
available, funds generated from operations and its available lines of 
credit will be adequate to finance its operations.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The Company's future results of operations and certain forward
looking statements contained in this filing involve a number of risks  
and uncertainties.   Factors that could cause actual results to vary 
materially include, but are not limited to:  (i)  the historic and 
recurring "hockeystick" pattern of the Company's sales by which a
disproportionate percentage of a quarter's total sales occur in the 
last month and weeks and days of each quarter;  (ii) the "hockeystick" 
pattern of the Company's sales, making it extremely difficult to predict 
near-term demand and adjust production capacity accordingly; (iii)  
competitive pricing pressures in the computer storage market; 
(iv) fluctuating currency exchange rates;  (v) the relative and
varying rates of product price and component cost declines; (vi)a 
failure by any supplier of high density DRAMS, disk drives or other 
components to meet EMC's requirements for an extended period of time; 
other one-time events and other important factors disclosed previously 
and from time to time in EMC's other filings at the U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission.
