  1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Principles of Consolidation

      The financial statements include the  accounts of all majority-owned
  subsidiaries.  All  significant  intercompany   transactions  have  been
  eliminated.

      Net Earnings Per Share

      The net earnings  per common share  and common share  equivalents is
  computed by  dividing net  earnings by  the weighted  average number  of
  shares and  dilutive common  share equivalents  outstanding during  each
  period. Common stock equivalents result from  dilutive stock options and
  warrants  computed  using  the  treasury  stock  method.  Fully  diluted

  3.  RESTRUCTURING RESERVES, CURRENT AND NONCURRENT

      Over the  past  several  years,   Control  Data  Systems,  Inc. (the 
  "Company")  has  focused   its  core  business   through  a   series  of
  initiatives.  The Company continues its transition  from a developer and
  manufacturer of proprietary mainframe computer systems  to the marketing
  and integration  of  open  systems  hardware, software,  and  consulting
  services.

      Cash outlays in the  first quarter 1995 consisted  primarily of $3.7
  million for severance  costs related to  the reduction of  the worldwide
  workforce by approximately  80 individuals, and  $0.7 million  for lease
  and other  facility  obligations  related  to commitments  under  leases
  throughout the United  States, Canada,  and Europe.   Cash  outlays were
  below Company expectations due  in part to lower  than planned severance
  activity in its  international operations because  of delays  in legally
  required procedures  for  such  activities.   In  addition,  restructure
  activities in  certain  international  locations  were delayed  while  a
  divestiture activity was explored.  For additional information regarding
  this  divestiture,   see  the   Financial  Condition   section  of   the
  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results
  of Operations.

      The following table represents the Company's restructuring
  activities for the first quarter 1995:

  </TABLE> 

      Future cash outlays for the remaining restructuring reserve of $52.3
  million at March 31,  1995 are anticipated to  be $32.1 million  for the
  remainder of 1995 and $20.2 million for 1996.

  4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

      In August 1992,  an agreement  was signed between  Silicon Graphics,
  Inc. ("SGI")  and  the  Company  to  purchase 1,185,224  shares  of  the
  Company's Common Stock  for an  aggregate amount of  $14.4 million.   On
                                          9<PAGE>

  February 14,  1995,  the Company  repurchased  1,185,224  shares of  its
  common stock from SGI for an aggregate purchase price of $7.1 million.

      Overview. Control Data Systems, Inc. is a global systems integrator,
  developing and implementing open  systems solutions for  the operational
  problems  of  customers  worldwide.  It  focuses  on  the  architecture,
  implementation,  lifetime   support,  and   outsourcing  of   electronic
  commerce, product  data  management,  and  client-server  solutions  for
  government, financial  services,  telecommunications, and  manufacturing
  organizations.   The  Company helps  its  customers implement  business-
  related solutions by providing a range of services that include:

  o   Technology consulting
  o   Program management 
  o   Software development 
  o   Infrastructure integration
  o   Solution support

      The Company relies  upon its  computer professionals to  provide the
  consulting services required to  define, develop, install,  and maintain
  computer-based solutions.   The  Company has  a growing  family of  open
  systems technology partners and  suppliers offering a range  of hardware
  platforms and software products which the Company  then customizes for a
  particular customer environment.   These integration/consulting services
  are based  upon the  Company's 38  years of  experience in  implementing
  leading-edge solutions for complex computing environments.

      For the  first  32  years of  its  history,  the Company  developed,
  manufactured, and integrated its own proprietary brand of computers.  In
  1989 it  began  a  transition  from  the  development,  manufacture  and
  marketing of  its own  computers  to the  remarketing  of standard  UNIX
  and/or  Intel-based  computer  systems.  Coupled   with  networking  and
  distributed applications, these systems  form what  is often referred to
  as  the  client-server  computing  environment.    Today  the  Company's
  integration  services   include   network   design,   installation   and
  maintenance;  application  design   and  deployment,   particularly  for
  electronic commerce  projects; remote  and  on-site systems  management;
  electronic  mail  integration;   and  for  the   discrete  manufacturing
  industry, computer-aided design and product data management systems.

      Revenues for first  quarter 1995  of $130.1 million  decreased 10.6%
  from first  quarter   1994  revenues  of $145.6  million.   The  revenue
  decline was due primarily  to decreases of  18.0% and 14.7%  in hardware
  products and maintenance support sales, respectively,  offset in part by
  an increase of 9.4% in software and services sales.  The majority of the
  decrease in hardware products  sales was attributable to  lower revenues
  in the Americas and Asia, offset by an increase in revenues in Europe of
  $11.8 million or  37.2%.  The  decrease in hardware  maintenance support
  sales was primarily due to lower revenues in the Americas.  The increase
  in software  and  services revenues  of  9.4% was  primarily  due to  an
  increase in sales in  Europe of 20.9% in  the first quarter  1995 versus
  the comparable quarter in 1994.

      Cost  of  revenues  decreased  by  9.8%  and  gross  profit  margins
  decreased by 13.0% in  first quarter 1995 from the  same period in 1994.
  The primary factor contributing to the cost of revenues and gross profit
  margins decreases was  the decline in  total revenues of  $15.5 million,
  primarily in hardware products sales.

  Interest expense.    Interest  expense in  the  first  quarter 1995  was
  unchanged from the same period in 1994.

  Interest income.   Interest income increased  slightly in  first quarter
  1995 versus the first quarter 1994 due to higher  average daily cash and
  short-term investment balances.

  Other income,  net.   Other income  increased by  $1.1 million  in first
  quarter 1995 versus  the first  quarter 1994.   The primary  factors for
  this increase  included a  favorable foreign  currency exchange  gain of
  $0.3 million in the  current quarter versus a  $0.3 million loss  in the
  comparable quarter in 1994 and a  gain of $0.3 million  for the increase
  in the market value of certain short-term investments.

      The provision  for  income  taxes  in  first  quarter 1995  and  the
  comparable period in  1994 relate primarily  to foreign income  taxes on
  the  earnings  of  the   Company's  foreign  subsidiaries   and  foreign
  withholding taxes on certain United States income.

  </TABLE>

      Net earnings for first  quarter 1995 increased by  $0.8 million from
  the comparable period  in 1994.   The primary  factors for  the increase
  were lower  operating  expenses, which  offset  the  lower gross  profit
  margin, and higher nonoperating income.  Operating results for the three
  months ended  March  31,  1995 are  not  necessarily  indicative of  the
  results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.

      The  following  factors,  among  others,  should  be  considered  in
  evaluating the Company's outlook.
                                         15<PAGE>


  General.  The Company participates in the systems integration segment of
  the information systems and services market.   This segment is projected
  to grow by more  than 15% per year  over the next four  years. Equipment
  manufacturers,  large   consulting   firms   and   traditional   systems
  integrators also compete in this market segment.  There are many smaller
  firms also  active in  this market  segment with  no one  firm having  a
  dominant position.  Many of  the companies in this  market segment offer
  outsourcing and other types of long-term  agreements with their customer
  base.  The result of these  types of activities is to  develop a backlog
  of business that  creates a certain  predictable revenue base  in future
  periods.    The  Company  has  a  limited  number   of  these  types  of
  arrangements.  Therefore, revenue predictability is currently difficult,
  and continuing quarterly volatility of earnings can be expected.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Unaudited) (Continued)
                            (Dollars in millions)

  Revenues.  The Company expects  total revenues to decrease  in 1995 from
  1994 due  in  part  to the  recently  announced  disposition of  certain
  international operations.  The  decrease in revenues could  be offset in
  part by  the  acquisition  of  additional  strategic  businesses.    For
  additional information  regarding this  disposition,  see the  Financial
  Condition  section  of  the  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of
  Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

  Cost of revenues.   The Company's  cost of revenues  as a  percentage of
  total revenues were slightly  higher in the  first quarter of  1995 than
  the comparable period of 1994.  Gross profit margins, as a percentage of
  sales, were  slightly  lower  in the  first  quarter  of 1995  than  the
  comparable period in 1994.  Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues
  for 1995 is expected to decline.   Gross profit margins  are expected to
  increase in 1995.  These 1995 expectations are  based on the disposition
  of certain international operations,  as noted above, whose  revenue mix
  primarily consists of lower  profit margin hardware products.   However,
  due to varying gross profit margins of different  types of product sales
  and varying gross profit  margins of specific large  projects quarter to
  quarter, total gross profit margins will be volatile.

  Selling, general and administrative  expenses.  SG&A  expenses decreased
  in the first quarter of 1995  from the year ago quarter.   SG&A expenses
  are expected  to  decline in  1995  due to  the  disposition of  certain
  international operations and restructuring  actions taken in  the fourth
  quarter of 1994.

  Technical expenses.  Technical spending declined in the first quarter of
  1995 from the comparable period in 1994.  Technical spending is expected
  to continue to decline in 1995 as the majority of the technical spending
  for proprietary products was  completed in 1994.   Some of  this decline
  will be offset  by higher spending  on electronic commerce  products and
  services, one of the Company's primary targeted markets.

  Income tax rate.  In total,  the Company has $131.2  million of deferred
  tax assets at December  31, 1994, which can  be used to offset  taxes on
  future earnings.   While  the Company  maintains significant  operations
  outside the United  States, the majority  of these operations  also have
  deferred tax assets as of  December 31, 1994, resulting  from lower than
  expected  1994  earnings,  caused  in  part  by  the  planned  worldwide
  restructuring activity.  In the long-term this will significantly reduce
  the Company's  tax  expense.    However,  given  the  wide  geographical
  dispersion of the  Company's operations the  tax rate will  be volatile.
  Additionally, there  will  be volatility  in  the tax  rate  due to  the
  disposition of certain international operations.

  Foreign exchange.  A large percentage of  the Company's revenues, costs,
  and expenses are  transacted in currencies  other than the  U.S. dollar.
  As a  result, the  Company's financial  results are  subject to  foreign
  exchange rate fluctuations.

  Other.  See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding other
  factors concerning the Company.

  Financial Condition

      The Company's cash and short-term  investments totaled $82.4 million
  at March 31, 1995  and represented 26.9% of  total assets.   The Company
  has no long-term debt. Stockholders' equity at March  31, 1995 was $75.7
  million.   Total cash  and short-term  investment balances  decreased by
  $3.0 million in the quarter.   The primary factors in  the decrease were
  the purchase of treasury  stock of $7.1 million,  restructuring payments
  of $4.8 million, capital expenditures of  $2.4 million, partially offset
  by a  positive cash  flow of  $4.1 million  from working  capital items,
  depreciation  and  amortization  of  $3.7  million,  net  earnings  from
  operations of $2.2 million, and an increase  in short-term borrowings of
  $2.0 million.  Stockholders'  equity decreased by $6.6  million in first
  quarter 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to the purchase of treasury
  stock of $7.1 million  and a foreign currency  translation adjustment of
  $1.9 million, offset in part by net earnings of $2.2 million.

      As of March 31, 1995, the Company has available up to $41.2 million,
  primarily short-term notes and overdraft facilities, under bank lines of
  credit in  certain  international  subsidiaries.    The  Company  has  a
  domestic credit  arrangement  which  provides  up  to $10.0  million  in
  unsecured short-term credit.

      The Company has $52.3 million of restructure obligations as of March
  31, 1995, $34.4 million of which are expected to be  cash outlays in the
  next twelve  months  primarily  for  severance  costs, lease  and  other
  obligations related  to excess  facilities, and  litigation costs.   The
  Company believes that  it can finance  this additional  cash requirement
  through  a  combination  of  existing  cash  reserves,  cash  flow  from
  operations, asset sales and  its borrowing capacity.   To the  extent it
  may be necessary to supplement these sources of  cash, the Company could
  seek financing  from  strategic investors  and  through  future debt  or
  equity financing in the public or  private markets.  The  ability of the
  Company to borrow money or to sell debt or equity securities will depend
  on  its  results  of  operations,  financial   condition,  and  business
  prospects, as  well  as  conditions  then  prevailing  in  the  computer
  industry and the relevant capital markets.

      The Company will continue to explore ways to accomplish its business
  objectives through  the  acquisition  of  strategic  businesses  or  the
  divestiture of  non-strategic operations.   In  line with  this business
  objective the Company announced on April 13, 1995,  an agreement to sell
  a number  of  its  international  product  integration  and  maintenance
  operations to AmeriData  Technologies, a leading  U.S.-based integrator.
  AmeriData  will  pay  approximately  $34  million   in  cash  for  these
  operations.  The purchase is expected to be concluded in the second half
  of 1995.   The Company  believes this sale  is an  integral part  of its
  strategy to  focus  on its  core  competencies  in electronic  commerce,
  product data management,  and client-server solutions.   As a  result of
  this disposition, steps  will be taken  to reduce  certain headquarters,
  administrative, and technical  support costs to  align with  the reduced
  revenue base going forward.  It is not expected  that this activity will
  require additional restructuring charges.  The net  cash received by the
  Company will  be approximately  $25 million.   It  is expected  that the

                                         18<PAGE>

  AmeriData transaction will not result  in a significant gain  or loss to
  the Company.
