INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY
General
Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC" or the "Company") is one of the world
leaders in the information technology ("I/T") services industry. Since it was
founded in 1959, the Company has helped clients use I/T more efficiently in
order to improve their operations and profitability and to achieve business
results.
CSC offers a broad array of professional services to clients in the global
commercial and government markets and specializes in the application of
advanced and complex I/T to achieve its customers' strategic objectives. Its
service offerings include outsourcing, systems integration, and I/T and
management consulting and other professional services, including e-business
solutions.
Outsourcing involves operating all or a portion of a customer's technology
infrastructure, including systems analysis, applications development, network
operations, desktop computing and data center management. CSC also provides
business process outsourcing, which is the management of a client's non-core
business functions, such as claims processing, credit checking, or customer
call centers.
Systems integration encompasses designing, developing, implementing and
integrating complete information systems.
I/T and management consulting services include advising clients on the
strategic acquisition and utilization of I/T and on business strategy,
operations, change management and business process reengineering.
The Company also licenses sophisticated software systems for select vertical
markets.
In addition, CSC provides a broad array of end-to-end e-business solutions
that meet the needs of large commercial and government clients and new e-
commerce entrants. The company focuses on delivering business results by
linking business innovation skills with seasoned delivery expertise to provide
flexible and scalable solutions. To do so, CSC draws on its vast experience in
designing, building and maintaining large, complex, mission-critical systems
and applies this knowledge to today's e-business challenges. The Company has
significant experience in creating Internet-based business-to-business
solutions in Net Markets operations for established global companies, mid-
sized companies and new entrants to the marketplace.
In addition, CSC does not have exclusive agreements with hardware or
software providers and believes that this "vendor neutrality" enables it to
better identify and manage solutions specifically tailored to each client's
needs.
Major Markets
CSC provides its services primarily to clients in global commercial
industries and to the U.S. federal government.
CSC has provided I/T services to the U.S. federal government for nearly
forty years. In fiscal 1986, when U.S. federal contracts represented 70% of
the Company's revenues, CSC decided to devote substantial resources to further
develop global commercial business in order to accelerate its growth and take
advantage of the competencies gained as a leader in the federal sector.
Because of this strategy, CSC has increased its penetration of the global
commercial market and has diversified its business.
In the global commercial area, the Company's service offerings are marketed
to clients in a wide array of industries including aerospace; automotive;
chemical and energy; consumer goods; financial services; healthcare;
manufacturing; media; public sector; retail/distribution; telecommunications;
traffic and transportation; travel and hospitality; and utilities.
Geographically, CSC has operations throughout North America, Europe and
Asia-Pacific.
During the last three fiscal years, the Company's revenue mix by major
markets was as follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
U.S. Commercial.......................................... 39% 40% 41%
Europe................................................... 27 28 25

Fiscal Year 2000 Performance Overview
During fiscal 2000, CSC announced awards valued at more than $11.3 billion,
a record in the Company's history. In comparison, during fiscal 1999, CSC
announced awards valued at more than $5 billion, excluding the value of the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") contract. Although the value of the IRS
contract has not been quantified, it has the potential to become the Company's
largest contract.
Continuing with its strategy of growth through acquisitions, CSC also
acquired an additional five I/T services providers during fiscal 2000.
Global Commercial Market: Highlights
Within the global commercial market, there were several significant awards
to CSC.
United States:
In the first quarter of fiscal 2000, CSC was awarded an 11-year, $1.1
billion business process outsourcing contract by Enron Energy Services,
representing the Company's further expansion into the dynamic energy market.
CSC assumed responsibility for Enron's back office administrative functions
and is applying e-business technology solutions to functions such as meter
reading, collection and related customer inquiries.
CSC signed a master outsourcing agreement with United Technologies
Corporation ("UTC"), a Fortune 50 diversified manufacturer, valued at $2.6
billion over 10 years. Under the contract, CSC will manage the I/T
infrastructure for UTC's business units which include Pratt & Whitney, Otis
Elevator, Carrier Corp., Sikorsky Aircraft, Hamilton Sundstrand and Pratt &
Whitney Canada.
CSC led a consortium of companies, called the Pennant Alliance, to win a
project from the County of San Diego (California) to provide citizens with
greater, more efficient access to the County's services. Under the seven-year,
$644 million contract, CSC and its alliance partners will upgrade the County's
networks, and establish online multilingual kiosks providing information about
county services, as well as forms, applications, and job listings via the
Internet.
Saturn Corporation, a unit of General Motors, selected CSC and a team of
other I/T leaders to design and build an integrated, open, real-time, Web-
based automotive retail management system that will make car buying simpler
and more flexible and improve customer service and support for consumers.
About 15,000 Saturn retail team members located in over 400 retail facilities
in the U.S will use the Next Generation Saturn Retail System. The contract is
valued at $190 million over seven years.
2
The Company signed a $390 million, seven-year outsourcing pact with a
consortium of oil firms representing the largest gasoline retail and refinery
operation in the U.S. CSC is supporting the I/T operations of Equilon
Enterprises LLC, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Equiva Trading Company and Equiva
Services, which are joint venture companies of Shell Oil, Texaco and Saudi
Aramco. CSC will streamline the widespread I/T operations and manage over
15,000 desktops, in addition to a host of other support functions.
Three other commercial contracts awarded to the Company demonstrated the
strength of CSC's client relationships. First, CSC and Fidelity & Guaranty
Life Insurance Co. extended the original 1995 contract by five years and
expanded the business process outsourcing relationship. The contract extension
is valued at $425 million.
The Company also successfully recompeted for the New York State Department
of Health program to support the State's Medicaid program. The new agreement
is valued at $351 million over six years.
Finally, with the signing of an agreement with Computing Devices Canada
("CDC"), CSC further strengthened its relationship with CDC's parent company,
General Dynamics. The $68 million, 10-year contract is the 11th agreement CSC
has with global business units of General Dynamics and calls for the Company
to manage the I/T infrastructure, including applications, desktops and network
operations of CDC.
Additionally, CSC continued to expand in the U.S. commercial area during
fiscal 2000 through strategic acquisitions. With the acquisition of TRW Data
Services, a developer of customized software and systems solutions for high-
volume payment processors, CSC expanded its capabilities in the financial
services market. The Company also acquired ECS Integrated Technology Solutions
LLC, a Portland, Oregon-based I/T consulting services company specializing in
Oracle applications, e-business, customer relationship management, data
warehousing, supply chain management and infrastructure resource planning.
Also in the U.S. financial services arena, the Company provides consumer
credit reports to thousands of credit grantors nationwide. Through an
agreement with Equifax Inc., a major consumer credit repository, the Company
offers credit grantors the benefits of a national file of consumer credit
histories. The national file enables customers to obtain credit information
from a single source, instead of dealing with multiple reporting services.
International:
The Company's international operations provide a wide range of information
technology services to commercial and public sector clients. CSC has major
offices in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Denmark, Italy, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, and provides
substantially the same services to its international customers that it
provides to its U.S. customers.
During fiscal 2000, there were several significant international awards.
Old Mutual plc, an international financial services group, signed an I/T
outsourcing agreement with CSC. The Company will help Old Mutual meet the
market challenges and the increasingly complex and sophisticated I/T
requirements in the global financial services industry by managing the
client's I/T infrastructure in South Africa under a $300 million, seven-year
contract. This agreement makes CSC an I/T leader in South Africa and will
clearly strengthen and support the Company's presence and future expansion
plans in the region.
CSC signed a ten-year, $300 million agreement with General Electric Company
("GE") to manage GE's and GE Capital's data processing operations, help desk
and disaster recovery services in the United Kingdom and other European
countries. The agreement has been designed to allow additional GE companies to
join at any time.
Strengthening the Company's presence in the world chemicals market, CSC
signed a multi-year global outsourcing agreement with Avecia, one of Europe's
leading specialty chemical companies. CSC will support Avecia's data centers
in Wilmington, Delaware, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.
3
Acquisitions also helped increase CSC's presence in the international
markets. The Company acquired a majority interest in Servo Data, an Austrian
I/T consulting firm based in Vienna. This acquisition significantly
strengthened CSC's capabilities in Austria and provides a strategic doorway to
expand services in Eastern Europe.
Additionally, as part of its outsourcing agreement with GE, CSC acquired the
Australian operations of GE Capital Information Technology Solutions, a
leading I/T supplier to commercial and government organizations worldwide.
With this acquisition, CSC will provide GE outsourcing services in Australia
and has greatly enhanced its presence in the growing Australian market.
U.S. Federal Government Market: Highlights
The Company provides a broad array of services to the U.S. federal
government, ranging from traditional systems integration and outsourcing to
advanced technical undertakings and complex project management. CSC has
extensive experience in the development of software for mission-critical
systems for defense and civil agency applications, and also provides systems
engineering and technical assistance in network management, satellite
communications, intelligence, aerospace, logistics, and related high-
technology fields.
There were several significant awards to CSC during fiscal 2000 from within
the U.S federal government.
CSC was awarded a $680 million, 10-year contract by the U.S. Army Wholesale
Logistics Modernization Program, commonly known as LOGMOD, to provide I/T
services required to reengineer and modernize the Army's wholesale logistics
business processes. As part of this outsourcing contract, CSC offered
employment to all government employees affected by the award. The LOGMOD
contract continues a trend by federal agencies to turn to the private sector
to obtain best commercial practices for services. In fiscal 1999, CSC was
awarded the first significant U.S. federal government outsourcing contract
involving the voluntary transition of federal I/T employees to the private
sector under the BREAKTHROUGH Program of the National Security Agency.
CSC was among a select group of vendors chosen by the Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA") to provide safeguard services in support of the
Medicare Integrity Program. The overall HFCA contract is valued at $500
million over five years.
A joint venture managed by CSC was re-awarded the U.S. Air Force Range
Technical Services contract at the Eastern Range. This award marked the third
straight win on this contract. CSC is the only company to win a services
recompete award at Cape Canaveral in the last seven years.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA") deepened its
relationship with CSC with the award of a $325 million, seven-year contract to
support the operations of NASA's John C. Stennis Space Center. As the managing
partner of a joint venture known as Mississippi Space Services, CSC is
utilizing business process reengineering including Web-based applications and
related new technology to improve productivity and reduce costs.
CSC was named as one of 12 companies to provide services to the General
Services Administration ("GSA") under the 10-year, $25 billion Millennia
contract. CSC will provide the GSA with a broad array of I/T services and
support.
In fiscal 2000, CSC also enhanced its offerings to the U.S. federal
government market with the acquisition of Nichols Research Corporation
("Nichols"), a leading I/T services provider to the federal government.
Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, Nichols provides the U.S. Army, Air
Force, Navy and intelligence agencies with extensive systems engineering,
information technology and technical assistance for aviation, missile and
space defense systems. Nichols is also a leading provider of defense
technology services for the Huntsville-based Redstone Arsenal, which is home
to several major U.S. Army organizations and has an aggregate annual budget
authorization exceeding $15 billion, one of the largest in the U.S.
government. The
4
combination of the two firms provides a large pool of highly qualified
individuals with high-level security clearances. Nichols also supports the I/T
services needs of commercial clients including the health insurance and
healthcare provider markets.
COMPETITION
The I/T market in which CSC competes is not dominated by a single company or
a small number of companies. A substantial number of companies offer services
that overlap and are competitive with those offered by CSC. Some of these are
large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and major aerospace
firms that have greater financial resources than CSC and, in some cases, may
have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by CSC.
The Company's ability to obtain business is dependent upon its ability to
offer better strategic concepts and technical solutions, better value, a
quicker response, or a combination of these factors. In the opinion of the
Company's management, CSC is positioned to compete effectively in the global
commercial and U.S. federal government markets based on its technology and
systems expertise and large project management skills. It is also management's
opinion that CSC's competitive position is enhanced by its recognized position
as a leader in management consulting and the full spectrum of services that it
provides.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has more than 700 offices worldwide, and as of March 31, 2000
employed approximately 58,000 persons, including more than 48,000
professionals. The services provided by CSC require proficiency in many
fields, such as computer sciences, programming, mathematics, physics,
engineering, astronomy, geology, operations, research, economics, statistics
and business administration.

Notes:
A discussion of "Income Before Taxes" and "Net Income and Earnings per
Share" before and after special items is included in Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"). A
discussion of "Special Items" for fiscal years ended 2000 and 1998 is also
included in MD&A. The Fiscal 1997 special charge of $57,429 (24 cents per
share after tax) relates to costs and expenses associated with the acquisition
of the Continuum Company, Inc. ("Continuum") and to a write-off of acquired
research and development related to an acquisition by a company subsequently
acquired by CSC and accounted for as a pooling of interests. The fiscal 1996
special charge of $76,053 (40 cents per share after tax) relates to two
acquisitions by Continuum which was subsequently acquired by CSC and accounted
for as a pooling of interests.
The selected financial data have been restated for fiscal 1996 through 1999
to include the results of business combinations accounted for as poolings of
interests.
No dividends were paid by CSC during the five years presented.

Revenues for the Global Commercial and U.S. Federal Sector segments for
fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

======== ======== ========
The Company's 16% overall revenue growth for fiscal 2000 over 1999 resulted
principally from the successful expansion of its broad range of end-to-end I/T
services reflecting its geographic span and the markets served.
Effective November 16, 1999, the Company acquired Nichols Research
Corporation ("Nichols"), in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Accordingly, CSC's consolidated financial statements for periods
prior to November 16, 1999 have been restated to include the financial
position and results of operations for Nichols. The restatement combines
results from Nichols' fiscal 1999 and 1998, which ended August 31, with
results from CSC's fiscal 1999 and 1998, which ended April 2 and April 3,
respectively. Therefore, the restated twelve month results for fiscal 1999 and
1998 reflect Nichols' twelve months ended August 31. The restated fiscal 2000
data include Nichols' results based on CSC's fiscal year. Due to the alignment
of fiscal periods, Nichols' results of operations for the same five months of
April to August 1999 are reported in both CSC's fiscal 2000 and 1999.
Global commercial revenue grew 18%, or $1,058.7 million, during fiscal 2000.
In constant currency, global commercial revenue grew 20%. Over 60% of the
global commercial growth was provided by international operations. The Company
announced over $6.9 billion in new global commercial business awards during
fiscal 2000 compared with the $2.2 billion announced during fiscal 1999.
For fiscal 2000, U.S. commercial revenue grew 12%, or $379.4 million. Nearly
two-thirds of the growth was generated by increases in outsourcing activities.
Fiscal 2000 outsourcing revenue growth was fueled by major new contracts
including United Technologies Corporation and Enron Energy Services. The
remainder of the U.S. Commercial growth was provided principally by consulting
and systems integration services and increases from the Company's financial
services and healthcare vertical markets. For fiscal 1999, U.S. commercial
revenue grew 12%, or 16% when excluding fiscal 1998 revenue from activities in
the Company's collections and telecommunications operations, which were
subsequently sold or phased out. More than two-thirds of the U.S. commercial
growth was generated by information technology outsourcing contracts. The
remainder of the growth resulted from demand for consulting and systems
integration activities and further expansion in the Company's financial
services and healthcare vertical markets.
The Company's European operations generated revenue growth of 12%, or $275.9
million, for fiscal 2000 compared to 1999. The growth was principally due to
(a) expansion of outsourcing services provided in the United Kingdom, (b) the
acquisition of two major Italian providers of information technology services
and a partial year's benefit associated with the fiscal 1999 acquisition of
Paris-based KPMG Peat Marwick SA ("KPMG"), a management consulting and
information technology services firm, and (c) increased demand in
11
Germany for consulting and systems integration activities and enterprise
resource planning ("ERP") services. For fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998,
CSC's European operations accounted for revenue growth of 27%, or $479
million. Three factors generated the Company's growth in Europe: (a)
outsourcing services provided to British Aerospace plc, E. I. du Pont de
Nemours and Company and Hartmann & Braun, (b) the acquisition of Paris-based
KPMG, and (c) continued strong demand throughout Europe for consulting and
systems integration activities and ERP services.
Other international operations provided revenue growth of 81%, or $403.4
million, during fiscal 2000. The growth was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of G.E. Capital ITS based in Australia, expansion of other
business in Australia, and a partial year's benefit associated with the fiscal
1999 acquisition of Singapore-based CSA Holdings, Ltd. ("CSA"). During fiscal
1999, other international revenue increased 24% or $96.1 million. The growth
was primarily attributable to the acquisition of CSA, expansion of the
financial services sector and additional outsourcing activities in Australia.
The Company's U.S. federal sector revenues were derived from the following
sources:
Fiscal 2000 Fiscal 1999 Fiscal 1998
---------------- --------------- -----------
Percent Amount Change
Amount Change Percent Amount Amount
Dollars in millions -------- ------- -------- ------ -----------
Department of Defense.............. $1,474.1 4% $1,421.6 2% $1,387.7

-------- -------- --------
Total U. S. Federal................ $2,378.1 9 $2,180.2 9 $2,006.6
======== ======== ========
Revenue from the U.S. federal sector increased 9% during fiscal 2000 versus
1999. The increase was principally related to activity with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") contract, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration ("NASA") Stennis Facilities Operations contract, and additional
task orders on various Civil agency and Department of Defense ("DOD")
contracts. Revenue for fiscal 1999 compared to 1998 increased 9%. The increase
is attributable to additional task orders with the General Services
Administration, increased ordering of a management information system for the
DOD and the acquisition of the DOD Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
support contract. Revenue gains during fiscal 1999 were partially offset by
reductions in work performed for NASA and the winding down of several
contracts.
During fiscal 2000, CSC announced federal contract awards with a total value
of $4.4 billion, compared with the $2.9 billion and $1 billion announced
during fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively. In addition, during December 1998,
the IRS selected the CSC PRIME Alliance to enter into a strategic partnership
with the IRS to modernize the U.S. tax system. This award, the value of which
is not quantified, has the potential to become the Company's largest contract
to date.
Costs and Expenses
The Company's costs and expenses before special charges were as follows:

======== ======== ======== ==== ==== ====

Costs of Services
For fiscal 2000, the Company's costs of services as a percent of revenue
increased slightly to 78.5% from 78.3%. The change was driven principally by
the Company's revenue mix including the expansion of operations in Asia which
has a higher rate of cost of services and is less capital intensive in
comparison with the rest of the Company's operations. For fiscal 1999, the
Company's costs of services as a percent of revenue was unchanged versus
fiscal 1998.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of
revenue decreased to 8.3% from 9.1% for fiscal 2000 versus 1999. The decrease
was due to a number of performance improvements and management's increased
focus regarding discretionary costs owing to the uncertainty of the
marketplace in large part caused by the transition to the Year 2000.
For fiscal 1999, SG&A as a percent of revenue was unchanged compared to
fiscal 1998.
Special Items
Special items of $41.1 million ($29.8 million after tax), or 18 cents per
share, were recorded during fiscal 2000. The Company recorded a special item
of $39.1 million ($28.5 million after tax) representing merger-related charges
and other transaction costs associated with the November 16, 1999 acquisition
of Nichols. Also during fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a special item of $2
million ($1.3 million after tax) for legal and other costs, net of recoveries,
associated with the final resolution of the remaining issues relating to the
Company's fiscal 1998 response to a failed take-over attempt.
There were no special items during fiscal 1999.
The fiscal 1998 special items represent costs, expenses and benefits
associated with developments at CSC Enterprises, the Company's response to a
failed take-over attempt and merger-related charges associated with several
acquisitions made by Nichols. The Company recorded a first quarter net special
credit of $1.7 million, or 1 cent per share, at CSC Enterprises, a general
partnership which then operated certain of the Company's credit services
operations and carried out other business strategies through acquisition and
investment. The net credit resulted from a tax benefit of $135 million and an
after-tax charge of $133.3 million ($208.4 million before tax). During the
first quarter, several partners withdrew from CSC Enterprises. These
withdrawals caused CSC Enterprises to take actions which caused CSC to
recognize an increase in the tax basis of certain assets. As required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, this tax basis
increase from the previous tax basis resulted in a deferred tax asset of $135
million and a corresponding reduction in the Company's provision for taxes.
The tax basis increase is temporary and will be realized over time through an
increase in depreciation and amortization expense for income tax purposes. In
connection with the partner withdrawals and related developments, CSC
Enterprises reviewed its operations, its market opportunities and the carrying
value of its assets. Based on this review, plans were initiated to eliminate
certain offerings and write down assets, primarily within its
telecommunications operations. As a result of these plans, a pre-tax special
charge of $208.4 million ($133.3 million after tax) was recognized. The charge
is comprised of goodwill write-offs of $56.3 million ($35 million after tax),
contract termination costs of $54.3 million ($33.8 million after tax),
deferred contract costs and other assets of $33.1 million ($20.5 million after
tax), telecommunications software and accruals of $35.8 million ($22.3 million
after tax), telecommunications property, equipment and intangible assets of
$18.9 million ($11.7 million after tax), and other non-deductible costs of $10
million.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a before-tax
special charge of $20.7 million, or equivalent to 8 cents per share after tax,
for costs relating to the Company's response to a failed take-over attempt.
The charge is comprised of $14.4 million for investment banking expenses and
$6.3 million for other expenses such as legal costs, public relations and
shareholder communications.
13
Also, during fiscal 1998, special charges of $4.1 million, or 2 cents per
share after tax, were recorded by Nichols. The charges were comprised of $2.2
million for purchased in-process research and development activities and other
merger-related expenses in connection with several acquisitions made during
the year and $1.9 million related to impairment of assets.
Income Before Taxes
The Company's income before taxes and margin for the most recent three
fiscal years is as follows:
Dollar Amount Margin
-------------------- ----------------
2000 1999 1998 2000 1999 1998
Dollars in millions ------ ------ ------ ---- ---- ----
Before special charges..................... $652.5 $534.9 $447.6 7.0% 6.6% 6.4%
Income before taxes........................ 611.5 534.9 214.4 6.5 6.6 3.1
Income before special charges and taxes improved during fiscal 2000 as a
percentage of revenue. The .4% margin improvement to 7% principally relates to
lower SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue in the Company's U.S. Federal
sector and U.S. commercial operations.
During fiscal 1999, income before taxes as a percentage of revenue improved
primarily due to lower net interest expense.
Taxes
The provision for (benefit from) income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax
earnings was 34.1%, 33.5% and (28.1)% for the three years ended March 31,
2000. The fiscal 1998 rate includes the tax benefit associated with the
partnership withdrawals at CSC Enterprises during that year. Before special
items, the tax rate was 33.7% and 35.4% for fiscal 2000 and 1998,
respectively. The decrease in the fiscal 1999 tax rate from 35.4% to 33.5% is
principally the result of utilization of foreign operating losses not
previously recognized and research tax credits.
Net Income and Earnings per Share
The Company's net income and diluted earnings per share for fiscal years
2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:
Dollar Amount Margin
-------------------- ----------------
2000 1999 1998 2000 1999 1998

Diluted earnings per share:
Before special items................... 2.55 2.12 1.76
As reported............................ 2.37 2.12 1.67
During fiscal 2000, the Company's net income margin decreased to 4.3% from
4.4%. The decrease is related to the special items incurred during fiscal 2000
which reduced net income by $29.8 million or .3% of revenue. For fiscal 1999,
the Company's net income margin increased to 4.4% from 3.9%, primarily related
to lower net interest, a lower tax rate and no special items recorded.
14
Before special items, the net earnings margin was 4.6% for fiscal 2000, 4.4%
for fiscal 1999 and 4.1% for 1998. The improvement for fiscal 2000 was
attributable to lower SG&A as a percent of revenue.

========= ======= =======
Historically, the majority of the Company's cash has been provided from
operating activities. The increases in cash from operations during fiscal 2000
and 1999 are principally the result of higher earnings and non-cash charges
(depreciation and amortization) partially offset by increased working capital
requirements.
The Company's investments principally relate to purchases of computer
equipment and software that support the Company's expanding global commercial
operations. Investments include computer equipment purchased at the inception
of outsourcing contracts as well as subsequent upgrades, expansion or
replacement of these client-supporting assets. The Company's investments also
include several acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting during fiscal 1998 through 2000.
As described above, a majority of the Company's capital investments have
been funded by cash from operations. During fiscal 1999 the Company, issued
$200 million of 6.25% notes due in 2009. Proceeds were used for general
corporate purposes and to repay $150 million of 6.80% notes due April 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $260.4 million at March 31,
2000, $617.9 million at April 2, 1999 and $286 million at April 3, 1998.
During this period, the Company's earnings have added substantially to equity.
At the end of fiscal 2000, CSC's ratio of debt to total capitalization was
22.9%.

Debt to total capitalization................... 22.9% 27.9% 26.3%
During fiscal 2000, the Company replaced its expiring credit agreement with
a new credit facility. The new credit facility replaced the $490 million
credit agreement with a $250 million short term credit agreement and a $250
million long term credit agreement that expires in August 2004. At the end of
fiscal 2000, approximately $84 million was available for borrowing under this
program as compared to $115 million at the end of fiscal 1999. In addition,
the Company had uncommitted lines of credit of $185 million available with a
domestic bank and several foreign banks.
15
In the opinion of management, CSC will be able to meet its liquidity and
cash needs for the foreseeable future through the combination of cash flows
from operating activities, cash balances, unused borrowing capacity and other
financing activities. If these resources need to be augmented, major
additional cash requirements would likely be financed by the issuance of debt
and/or equity securities and/or the exercise of the put option (as described
in Note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements).
Dividends and Redemption
It has been the Company's policy to invest earnings in the growth of the
Company rather than distribute earnings as dividends. This policy, under which
dividends have not been paid since fiscal 1969, is expected to continue, but
is subject to regular review by the Board of Directors.
On February 27, 1998, the Board of Directors redeemed the stock purchase
rights, which had been issued under the 1988 stockholder rights plan, for one
sixth of one cent per right. The redemption was paid on April 13, 1998.
Year 2000
As previously reported in the Company's fiscal 2000 third quarter 10-Q, the
Company did not experience any significant problems caused by year 2000 issues
related to the Company's internal systems, contractual obligations to
customers or non-performance of suppliers. Based on currently available
information, the Company does not expect any future year 2000 issues.
Euro Introduction
On January 1, 1999 the euro currency was introduced in 11 of the 15 member
countries in the European Union. Although euro notes and coins will not be
available until the latter part of the transition period in 2002, the euro is
traded on the currency exchanges and is available for non-cash transactions.
The Company established a European steering group during 1997 to determine
the Company's approach to the euro and to develop plans to ensure that
customer expectations and statutory requirements are met. The Company was
ready by January 1, 1999 to deal with any customer or supplier who wished to
transact in euros and all European intercompany transactions since January 1,
1999 have been invoiced and settled in euros in the participating countries.
The Company's European operations has completed the development of the
infrastructure that provides all the internal systems functionality required
to deal with the euro during the transition period and thereafter. The
transition period lasts until July 2002 when the national currencies will no
longer be legal tender. The incremental system cost to CSC of introducing the
euro will not be material.
As of March 31, 2000, the transition to the euro has not resulted in any
material adverse impact on CSC's financial position or results of operations.
Furthermore, CSC will continue to review the impact of the euro conversion
during the remaining transition period, but does not expect it to have a
material impact on its overall financial position or results of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities. In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amended SFAS No. 133 by deferring
its effective date by one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The Company is currently assessing the impact this statement will have and,
based on preliminary estimates, does not expect the adoption to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
16
During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This statement requires the
capitalization of internal use computer software costs provided that certain
criteria are met. These capitalized software costs will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the useful life of the software. The adoption of this
statement effective April 3, 1999 had no material impact on the company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements contained in this annual report, or in any document filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or in any press
release or other written or oral communication by or on behalf of the Company,
that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent the Company's
expectations and beliefs, and no assurance can be given that the results
described in such statements will be achieved.
These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many
of which are outside of the Company's control, that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results described in such statements. These
factors include, without limitation, the following: (i) competitive pressures;
(ii) the Company's ability to consummate strategic acquisitions and alliances;
(iii) the Company's ability to attract and retain key personnel; (iv) changes
in the demand for information technology outsourcing and business process
outsourcing; (v) changes in U.S. federal government spending levels for
information technology services; (vi) the Company's ability to continue to
develop and expand its service offerings to address emerging business demands
and technological trends; (vii) changes in the financial condition of the
Company's commercial customers; (viii) the future profitability of the
Company's customer contracts, and (ix) general economic conditions and
fluctuations in currency exchange rates in countries in which we do business.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rates
The Company has fixed-rate long-term debt obligations, short-term commercial
paper and other borrowings subject to market risk from changes in interest
rates. Sensitivity analysis is one technique used to measure the impact of
changes in interest rates on the value of market-risk sensitive financial
instruments. A hypothetical 10% movement in interest rates would not have a
material impact on the Company's future earnings or cash flows.
Foreign Currency
During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain
contracts denominated in foreign currency. Potential foreign currency
exposures arising from these contracts are analyzed during the contract
bidding process. The Company generally manages these transactions by ensuring
costs to service contracts are incurred in the same currency in which revenue
is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing
in the same currency. By matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same
currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency
risk to earnings. If necessary, the Company may also use foreign currency
forward contracts or options to hedge exposures arising from these
transactions. The Company does not foresee changing its foreign currency
exposure management strategy.
During fiscal 2000, 37% of the Company's revenue was generated outside of
the United States. Using sensitivity analysis, a hypothetical ten-percent
increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would decrease
revenue by 3.7% or $346 million, while a hypothetical ten-percent decrease in
the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenue by
3.7% or $346 million. In the opinion of management, a substantial portion of
this fluctuation would be offset by expenses incurred in local currency. As a
result, a
17
hypothetical 10% movement of the value of the U.S. Dollar against all
currencies in either direction would impact the Company's earnings before
interest and taxes by $18 million. This amount would be offset, in part, from

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Computer Sciences Corporation
El Segundo, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Computer
Sciences Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2000 and
April 2, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended March 31, 2000. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 8. These financial statements and
financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Computer Sciences Corporation
and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended March 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands except per-share amounts)
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Computer
Sciences Corporation, its subsidiaries and those joint ventures and
partnerships over which it exercises control, hereafter collectively referred
to as "CSC" or "the Company." All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Business Combination
CSC acquired Nichols Research Corporation ("Nichols") on November 16, 1999.
Upon consummation of the merger, Nichols became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. Each outstanding share of Nichols common stock was converted into
.423 shares of common stock of the Company and each outstanding option to
purchase shares of common stock was converted into an option to purchase .423
shares of CSC common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for under the
pooling of interests method, and previously reported consolidated financial
statements of the Company for periods ended prior to November 16, 1999 have
been restated. The restatement combines results from Nichols' fiscal 1999 and
1998, which ended August 31, with results from CSC's fiscal 1999 and 1998,
which ended April 2 and April 3, respectively. Therefore, the restated twelve
months for fiscal 1999 and 1998 reflect Nichols' twelve months ended August
31. The restated fiscal 2000 data include results based on CSC's fiscal year.
Due to the alignment of fiscal periods, Nichols' results of operations for the
same five month period of April to August 1999 are reported in both CSC's
fiscal 2000 and 1999. As a result, Nichols' revenue of $220,551 and net income
of $9,563 are included in both fiscal 2000 and 1999. On this basis for the six
months ended October 1, 1999 and fiscal years 1999 and 1998 (periods prior to
the merger), Nichols' revenues were $245,918, $451,440 and $427,043,
respectively, and net income was $9,820, $14,345 and $14,198, respectively.
Other Acquisitions
During the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, the Company made a
number of acquisitions in addition to the one described above which, either
individually or collectively, are not material. In conjunction with business
combinations accounted for as purchases, the Company acquired tangible assets
with an estimated fair value of $146,000, $239,000 and $64,000; and assumed
liabilities of $89,000, $195,000 and $49,000 for fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998
respectively. The excess of cost of businesses acquired over related net
assets was $262,000, $175,000 and $101,000 for the three fiscal years ended
2000.
Income Recognition
The Company provides services under time and materials, level of effort,
cost-based and fixed-price contracts. For time and materials and level of
effort types of contracts, income is recorded as the costs are incurred,
income being the difference between such costs and the agreed-upon billing
amounts. For cost-based contracts, income is recorded by applying an estimated
factor to costs as incurred, such factor being determined by the contract
provisions and prior experience. For fixed-price contracts, income is recorded
on the basis of the estimated percentage of completion of services rendered.
Losses, if any, on long-term contracts are recognized during the period in
which the loss is determined.
Revenues from certain information processing services are recorded at the
time the service is utilized by the customer. Revenues from sales of
proprietary software are recognized upon receipt of a signed contract
documenting customer commitment, delivery of the software and determination of
the fee amount and its

Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
probable collection. However, if significant customization is part of the
transaction, such revenues are recognized over the period of delivery.
Depreciation and Amortization
The Company's depreciation and amortization policies are as follows:
Property and Equipment:
Buildings.......................... 10 to 40 years
Computers and related equipment.... 3 to 10 years
Furniture and other equipment...... 2 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements............. Shorter of lease term or useful life
Investments and Other Assets:
Software........................... 2 to 10 years
Credit information files........... 10 to 20 years
Excess of cost of businesses
acquired over related net assets.. Up to 40 years
Deferred contract costs............ Contract life
For financial reporting purposes, computer equipment is depreciated using
either the straight-line or sum-of-the-years'-digits method, depending on the
nature of the equipment's use. The cost of other property and equipment, less
applicable residual values, is depreciated on the straight-line method.
Depreciation commences when the specific asset is complete, installed and
ready for normal use. Investments and other assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the years indicated above.
Included in software are unamortized capitalized software development costs
of $168,663 and $122,208 as of March 31, 2000 and April 2, 1999, respectively.
The related amortization expense was $34,337, $22,378 and $17,358 for the
three fiscal years ended March 31, 2000.
Included in other assets are deferred contract costs related to the initial
purchase of assets under outsourcing contracts. The balance of such costs, net
of amortization, was $155,757 and $92,717 as of March 31, 2000 and April 2,
1999, respectively. The related amortization expense was $26,893, $18,408 and
$15,371 for the three fiscal years ended March 31, 2000.
The Company evaluates at least annually the recoverability of its excess
cost of businesses acquired over related net assets. In assessing
recoverability, the current and future profitability of the related operations
are considered, along with management's plans with respect to the operations
and the projected undiscounted cash flows.
Cash Flows
Cash payments for interest on indebtedness and cash payments (refunds) for
taxes on income are as follows:
Fiscal Year
-------------------------
2000 1999 1998
------- -------- -------
Interest......................................... $59,429 $ 46,189 $51,376
Taxes on income.................................. 97,608 (20,510) 39,802

COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
(Dollars in thousands except per-share amounts)
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers
all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. The Company's investments consist of high quality
securities issued by a number of institutions having high credit ratings,
thereby limiting the Company's exposure to concentrations of credit risk. With
respect to financial instruments, the Company's carrying amounts of its other
current assets and liabilities were deemed to approximate their market values
due to their short maturity. The Company has no material hedge contracts with
respect to its foreign exchange or interest rate positions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions, in particular estimates of anticipated contract costs utilized in
the revenue recognition process, that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Stock Split
All historical weighted average and per share amounts in the Consolidated
Statements of Income have been restated to reflect a two-for-one stock split
in the form of a 100% stock dividend paid on March 23, 1998. The Consolidated
Statements of Stockholders' Equity reflects the actual number and par value of
the issued and outstanding shares for fiscal 1998. The Consolidated Statements
of Stockholders' Equity reflects the actual stock dividend in the period paid.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflect the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of
stock options.
Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:
Fiscal Year
--------------------------
2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
Net income for basic and diluted EPS........... $402,872 $355,502 $274,567

======== ======== ========
Basic EPS...................................... $ 2.42 $ 2.17 $ 1.71
Diluted EPS.................................... 2.37 2.12 1.67
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 Company's common stock during the year. The number of such
options was 135,797, 88,451 and 95,310 for the years ended March 31, 2000,
April 2, 1999 and April 3, 1998, respectively.

Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During fiscal 2000 the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
requires the capitalization of internal use computer software costs provided
certain criteria are met. These capitalized costs will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the useful life of the software. The adoption of SOP
98-1 had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair
value and establishes accounting standards for hedging activities. In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, which amended SFAS No. 133 by deferring

Note 2--Special Items
Special items of $41,065 ($29,845 after tax), or 18 cents per share, were
recorded during fiscal 2000.
During the third quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a
special item of $39,068 ($28,519 after tax), or 17 cents per share after tax,
related to the November 16 acquisition of Nichols. This charge
is comprised of $9,304 for investment banking and other transaction expenses;
$23,462 related to the write-off of capitalized software attributable to
duplicate market offerings and the write-off of other assets and intangibles;
and $6,303 related to employee severance costs and elimination of duplicate
facilities. The involuntary termination benefits accrued and expensed were
$5,060 and related to 60 employees; as of March 31, 2000, approximately $4,232
had been paid.
The Company also recorded a special item of $1,997 ($1,326 after tax) for
legal and other costs, net of recoveries, associated with the final
resolution, during the third quarter, of the remaining issues relating to the
Company's fiscal 1998 response to a failed take-over attempt.
There were no special items during fiscal 1999.
Special items in fiscal 1998 represent costs, expenses and benefits
associated with developments at CSC Enterprises, the Company's response to a
failed take-over attempt and merger-related charges associated with several
acquisitions made by Nichols.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, CSC recorded a net special credit
of $1,707, or 1 cent per share, at CSC Enterprises, a general partnership of
which CSC, through one of its affiliates, is the managing general partner.
This net credit resulted from a tax benefit of $135,000 and an after-tax
special charge of $133,293 ($208,393 before tax). During the quarter, several
partners withdrew from CSC Enterprises. These withdrawals

Note 2--Special Items (continued)
caused CSC Enterprises to take actions that caused CSC to recognize an
increase in the tax basis of certain assets. As required by SFAS No. 109, this
tax basis increase from the previous tax basis resulted in a deferred tax
asset of $135,000 and a corresponding reduction of CSC's provision for income
taxes during the quarter. The tax basis increase is temporary and will be
realized over time through an increase in depreciation and amortization
expense for income tax purposes. In connection with the partner withdrawals
and related developments, CSC Enterprises reviewed its operations, its market
opportunities and the carrying value of its assets. Based on this review,
certain offerings and assets were eliminated, primarily within its
telecommunications operations. As a result of these plans, CSC recognized a
pre-tax special charge of $208,393 ($133,293 after tax). This special charge
included goodwill write-offs of $56,300 ($35,000 after tax), contract
termination costs of $54,300 ($34,000 after tax), deferred contract costs and
other assets of $33,093 ($20,493 after tax), telecommunications software and
accruals of $35,800 ($22,300 after tax), telecommunications property,
equipment and intangible assets of $18,900 ($11,700 after tax) and other non-
deductible costs of $10,000.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded a before-tax
special charge of $20,700, or 8 cents per share after tax, for costs relating
to the Company's response to a failed take-over attempt. The charge is
comprised of $14,400 for investment banking expenses and $6,300 for other
expenses such as legal costs, public relations and shareholder communications.
Also, during fiscal 1998, special charges of $4,126, or 2 cents per share
after tax, were recorded by Nichols. The charges were comprised of $2,000 for
purchased in-process research and development activities and $226 for merger-
related expenses in connection with several acquisitions made during the year
and $1,900 related to the impairment of assets within Nichols' insurance line
of business.
