The computation of diluted EPS did not include stock options which were antidilutive, as their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock of Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC" or the "Company") during the periods presented. The number of such options was 9,465,718 and 7,534,554 at October 3, 2003 and September 27, 2002, respectively. |

(B) |
At October 3, 2003, the Company had eight stock incentive plans which authorized the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based incentives to employees, which are described more fully in Note 10 of the Company's 2003 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. The Company accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure," the following pro forma net income and earnings per share information is presented as if the Company accounted for stock-based compensation awarded under the stock incentive plans using the fair value based method. Under the fair value based method, the estimated fair value of stock incentive awards is charged against income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. |

As disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company reviewed its operations, product strategies and the carrying value of its assets to identify any potential exit or disposal activities in connection with the DynCorp acquisition during March 2003. As a result, during the second quarter and six months ended October 3, 2003, special items of $9.2 million and $15.4 million ($5.7 million and $9.6 million after tax) or 3 cents and 5 cents per share (diluted) were recorded, respectively. The charges include equipment and related disposal costs, that cannot accommodate the larger, integrated U.S. Federal sector business, and its use has been discontinued. In addition, after further review the Company determined that certain CSC facilities were no longer needed as a result of the acquisition and costs to exit those facilities are also included in the special items. Since its acquisition of DynCorp, the Company has recorded $20.6 million of special charges related to exit and disposal activities arising from the acquisition. Due to the complexities and volume of equipment involved, the Company presently expects to complete the exit and disposal activities related to the DynCorp acquisition by the end of fiscal 2004. The Company currently estimates any additional DynCorp related special charges will not exceed $7 million. |

As previously disclosed in the Company's fiscal 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of DynCorp during March 2003 for a purchase price of $622.0 million and the assumption of $296.4 million of outstanding DynCorp debt. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and accordingly, the purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of the fair values at the date of the acquisition. Initial goodwill was $721.7 million and other identified intangible assets including customer contracts and related customer relationships acquired from DynCorp were valued at $185.0 million. During the second quarter ended October 3, 2003, the Company finalized the fair value of the other identified intangibles principally due to the completion of third party appraisals and has adjusted the purchase price allocation. These non-cash adjustments resulted in the intangible assets decreasing by $25. 7 million, with offsetting increases to goodwill and deferred tax asset by $15.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The $159.3 million of intangible assets for customer contracts and related customer relationships has a weighted-average useful life of approximately 10 years and is amortized based on the estimated timing of related cash flows. |

The Company is continuing to review the preliminary fair value estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the DynCorp acquisition, including valuations associated with exit and facility consolidation, litigation, assets and liabilities related to taxes and long-term contracts, and other matters unresolved at the time of acquisition. The Company continues to evaluate DynCorp's accounting treatment for conformance including accounting for long-term contracts. During the second quarter, aside from the adjustment for intangible assets noted above, the Company made other insignificant adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as information was received, with no resulting net change to goodwill. Adjustments, if any, to the purchase price are expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004. There can be no assurance that such adjustments will not be material. |

In connection with the acquisition of DynCorp, the Company incurred costs to exit and consolidate activities, involuntarily terminate employees, and other costs to integrate DynCorp into the Company. As of October 3, 2003, 53 employees have been involuntarily terminated out of a total of 75 expected to be terminated. The components of the acquisition integration liabilities included in the purchase price allocation for DynCorp are presented in the following table. The liabilities have been adjusted from those included in the preliminary purchase price allocation based upon the receipt of information and more analysis conducted by the Company. Adjustments reduced the liability balances for facility consolidations and other by $4.4 million and $.3 million, respectively. As discussed in the preceding paragraph, adjustments to the liabilities were offset by changes to goodwill. |

The Company guarantees working capital credit lines established with local financial institutions for its foreign business units. Generally, guarantees have one-year terms and are renewed annually. CSC guarantees up to $438.4 million of such working capital lines; however, as of Oct. 3, 2003, the amount of the maximum potential payment is $53.1 million, the amount of the related outstanding subsidiary debt. The $53.1 million outstanding debt is reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company indemnifies its software license customers from claims of infringement on a United States patent, copyright, or trade secret. CSC's indemnification covers costs to defend customers from claims, court awards or related settlements. The Company maintains the right to modify or replace software in order to eliminate any infringement. Historically, CSC has not incurred any significant costs related to customer software license indemnification. Management considers the possibility likelihood of incurring future costs to be remote. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a related liability. |

In November 2002 and May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." EITF Issue No. 00-21 provides guidance and criteria for determining when a multiple deliverable arrangement contains more than one unit of accounting. The guidance also addresses methods of measuring and allocating arrangement consideration to separate units of accounting. The guidance became effective for all revenue arrangements entered into after July 4, 2003. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

In May 2003, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 01-08, "Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease." EITF Issue No. 01-08 provides guidance on how to determine whether an arrangement contains a lease that is within the scope of FASB Statement No. 13, "Accounting for Leases" and is effective for arrangements entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The guidance in Issue No. 01-08 is based on whether the arrangement conveys to the purchaser (lessee) the right to use a specific asset, and could require lease accounting for certain outsourcing contracts, for which it is not economically feasible or practical to deliver service using alternative assets. CSC anticipates that in situations where lease accounting is required, the leases would be classified as operating leases, and therefore would not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, this conclusion will be dependent upon on the facts and circumstances of each individual contract, including certain contracts that for security or proprietary reasons inhibit movement of equipment, in which case capital lease classification may be required. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial position at October 3, 2003, or results of operations for the quarter and six months ended October 3, 2003. |
