PART I
Item 1. Business
(a) General Business Overview
Computer Associates International, Inc. (the "Company," "Registrant," or
"CA") is a leading business software company, delivering the end-to-end
infrastructure to enable eBusiness through innovative technology, services, and
education. CA provides mission-critical software solutions for all kinds of
businesses throughout the world. With a portfolio of more than 800 software
products, including enterprise management, database and application development,
as well as the products that provide the infrastructure for eBusiness and
eCommerce over the Internet, and a professional services organization dedicated
to understanding the needs of its customers, CA is committed to meeting the
information technology requirements of businesses in every sector of the
economy.
Built upon a common infrastructure, CA's array of enterprise management,
information management, and business application software solutions are
available for use on a variety of both mainframe and distributed systems.
Because of its independence from hardware manufacturers, the Company provides
clients with integrated solutions that are platform neutral.
CA products can be used on all major hardware platforms, operating systems,
and application development environments for enterprise computing. The operating
environments include OS/390 from International Business Machines ("IBM"), the
UNIX systems from such hardware vendors as Sun Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun"),
Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP"), IBM, Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq"), and
Windows NT from Microsoft Corporation.
CA maintains a product philosophy of internally developing products,
exemplified by its flagship product family Unicenter TNG R (The Next
Generation),TM the industry's de facto standard for enterprise management
software, coupled with the acquisition of key technology, the integration of the
two, and the establishment of a network of strategic alliances with key business
partners. The Company's service philosophy is similarly marked by a commitment
to the development of a dedicated internal service staff, the acquisition of
third-party service organizations, the integration of the two, and long-standing
alliances with leading service providers.
Since 1999, CA completed several strategic acquisitions, which included
Computer Management Sciences, Inc. ("CMSI") in March 1999, a custom developer of
information technology solutions. CMSI specialized in Internet development,
business process reengineering, strategy planning, evolutionary downsizing,
rapid application development, object-oriented databases, vendor software
evaluation, and other key technology areas. This acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information concerning acquisitions.
In May 1999, the Company acquired PLATINUM technology International, inc.
("PLATINUM") in a cash transaction. PLATINUM was engaged in the design,
development, marketing, and support of database tools and utilities, tools for
enterprise management, data warehousing, and provided a wide range of
professional services. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information concerning acquisitions.
In February 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Sterling
Software, Inc. ("Sterling") through an exchange of stock. Sterling's solutions
are used to create, control, automate, and manage both traditional and eBusiness
systems. Sterling's portal technology provides access to data stored in
corporate databases in the same way that Internet content portals provide access
to the wealth of content on the Web. The acquisition further expanded CA's broad
array of products and services while accelerating their delivery. The
acquisition, completed on March 31, 2000, was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information concerning acquisitions.
As part of the Company's overall eBusiness initiative, CA released
Jasmine R ii this past year. Jasmine ii is the world's first intelligent and
integrated platform for eBusiness. Jasmine ii provides a complete solution for
building, testing, and deploying intelligent eBusiness applications. Along with
Unicenter TNG, which provides management of the eBusiness infrastructure,
including Internet security and storage management, Jasmine ii is becoming a key
solution within CA's eBusiness offerings.
Also during fiscal year 2000, CA launched interBiz TM Solutions("interBiz")
to assist clients, suppliers, and partners in capitalizing on eCommerce business
opportunities. interBiz will use core CA technologies, including Unicenter TNG,
Jasmine ii, 3-D visualization,and Neugents TM neural network pattern recognition
to create a business management framework, named BizWorks,TM as foundation for
inter- and intra-business communication and business application integration.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1974. In December 1981, CA
completed its initial public offering of Common Stock. The Company's Common
Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CA".
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
CA's global business is principally in a single industry segment-the
design, development, marketing, licensing, and support of integrated computer
software products operating on a diverse range of hardware platforms and
operating systems.
See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial data
pertaining to geographic areas.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
Products
CA offers over 800 enterprise systems management, information management,
application development, eBusiness, and business applications solutions to a
broad spectrum of organizations. The Company's software products and service
offerings enable clients to use their total data processing resources-hardware,
software, and personnel-more efficiently.
The Company provides products that effectively manage the complex,
heterogeneous systems upon which businesses depend. CA's solutions enable
clients to use the latest technologies while preserving their substantial
investments in hardware, software, and staff expertise. By employing a common
infrastructure, the Company's developers create modular software designed to be
continually and consistently improved. This pragmatic approach protects clients'
investments by using scalar, evolutionary change rather than revolutionary
disruption and waste.
CA is the largest independent supplier of software solutions for IBM OS/390
and the acknowledged market leader in systems management. For over 20 years, CA
solutions have enabled our clients to better manage the complex mainframe
environment by providing them with the tools to measure and improve computer
hardware and software performance and programmer productivity. As the
information technology landscape has changed, these solutions have emerged as
leaders in enterprise-wide systems as well as network management.
While supporting the eBusiness enhancements of the most current release of
IBM's OS/390 operating system through CA's systems and data management
solutions, CA's software architecture is specifically designed to help clients
migrate to distributed computing or build new distributed systems. The Company's
integrated distributed systems management solutions manage this complex
environment. Full-function distributed business applications simplify
customization to meet unique business needs on a combination of platforms.
This past fiscal year, CA announced Unicenter R TND TM(The Next Dimension),
the latest version of Unicenter TNG, CA's award-winning enterprise management
solution. By delivering time-based advancements in predictive management,
Unicenter TND will enable clients to harness the dimension of time in order to
optimize availability of their eBusiness environments.
Since its introduction in fiscal year 1997, Unicenter TNG has become the
industry's de facto standard for enterprise management software. Unicenter TNG
is an object-oriented solution that enables organizations to visualize and
control their entire information technology infrastructure-including
applications, databases, systems, and networks-from a business perspective. This
technology establishes a link between an organization's information technology
resources and its business policies. Through Unicenter TNG, an organization can
define its business policies, map these policies to particular resource
management requirements, and then monitor resources for their support of
specific business processes. The flexible Business Process Views TM can be
customized to deliver the information based on specific roles, locations,
resources, and any other dimensions of control. To visualize the complex
interactions and interdependencies of an enterprise's entire distributed
environment,Unicenter TNG employs a Real World Interface TM that incorporates
3-D animation and elements of virtual reality. The revolutionary technology of
Unicenter TND, built on Jasmine ii, provides the platform to manage processes
and transactions at every point in Business-to-Business (B2B) and
Business-to-Consumer (B2C) environments.
Following full-scale delivery in fiscal year 1999 of Neugents, CA's
patented neural network-based technology, clients began actual deployment of
Neugents in their environments. From building intelligent eBusiness applications
with Jasmine ii to ensuring optimal service for eBusiness with Unicenter TNG to
maximizing eBusiness opportunities with CA Services,TM Neugents enable clients
to reduce costs, simplify operational complexity, and improve staff efficiency.
Neugents provide predictive intelligence to virtually all aspects of CA's
end-to-end infrastructure for eBusiness. Neugents are intelligent software
agents that exist throughout various computing environments to recognize certain
patterns and record the resulting transition states. Neugents enable an entirely
new generation of business applications to analyze conditions in business
markets and technical environments, predict changes in those conditions, and
suggest courses of action to capitalize on opportunities and/or avoid potential
problems. When employed with Unicenter TNG, Neugents can proactively prevent
performance and availability problems with a level of precision and rigor
unattainable by conventional trend and resource analysis solutions.
With this year's release of Jasmine ii, CA offers a comprehensive
information infrastructure that enables organizations to use leading-edge
technologies as well as existing data and logic to quickly build, deploy and
manage a new generation of intelligent eBusiness solutions. These highly visual
Web-enabled applications effectively use a broad spectrum of enterprise
information resources, communication facilities, and end-user devices to deliver
substantial competitive advantages in today's rapidly evolving business
environment. Leveraging CA's patented Neugents technology, Jasmine ii is a
complete eBusiness platform, powering unique and dynamically personalized
Exchanges and Portals. It dramatically speeds time-to-market of B2B, B2C,
Application Service Providers (ASP), and trading exchange applications.
The prevalence of the Internet and electronic communications has increased
the possibility of security breaches of an organization's information systems
and data. For over 20 years, CA clients have relied upon CA's security
solutions, such as CA-Top Secret R and CA-ACF2 R in the OS/390 marketplace, to
protect data from internal and external intrusion. CA's leading-edge security
solutions provide access control, authentication and authorization for complete
cross-platform security and enable organizations to set security policies mapped
to their business objectives. To meet the growing security concerns associated
with the expansion of eBusiness and eCommerce, CA introduced its eTrust TM
offerings during fiscal year 2000. eTrust is a comprehensive set of security
solutions designed to assure privacy of information, certify user identification
and authorization, protect business assets against malicious attacks such as
viruses, and prevent destruction and theft of information. Included are eTrustTM
Access Control,TM eTrust TM Admin, eTrust TM Anti-Virus, eTrust TM Audit, eTrust
TM Desktop Security, and eTrust TM Encryption. In addition, CA provides a wide
range of services, such as the implementation of appropriate protection policies
and procedures, to complement these eTrust products. With its existing mainframe
storage management products, the ARCserve R storage management tools, and the
storage tools recently acquired from Sterling, the Company's storage solutions
deliver a comprehensive integrated management solution for enterprise-wide data
storage. This includes leading-edge backup and recovery for SANs (Storage Area
Networks) and Windows 2000.
For more than 20 years, CA has been the premium provider of systems and
database management solutions for OS/390. CA's OS/390 solutions, including
security scheduling, storage, automation, performance and output management
products, interface with the newest release of IBM's flagship server environment
to better manage this complex mainframe environment.
Professional Services
Through the acquisition of PLATINUM and Sterling as well as through the
addition of specialized professional services companies, the Company continued
expansion of its professional services organization during fiscal year 2000. Now
known as CA Services, it is responsible for providing a broad spectrum of
services ranging from consulting to implementation to comprehensive outsourcing
and custom developing leading-edge IT solutions. These services can improve
implementation and deployment of the Company's solutions to enable eBusiness,
which the Company believes will lead to universal customer satisfaction and
greater follow-on sales.
Sales and Marketing
CA distributes, markets, and supports its products on a worldwide basis
with its own employees and a network of independent value-added resellers
("VARs"), distributors, and dealers. The Company has approximately 5,600 sales
and sales support personnel engaged in promoting the licensing of the Company's
products.
In April 2000, the Company realigned its entire sales organization,
changing its focus from one based primarily on geography to one based on product
orientation. The worldwide sales organization is now aligned into three main
groups, with primary emphasis on the following product areas: OS/390,
distributed enterprise management, and distributed application and information
management. A separate Strategic Accounts group provides additional services to
large clients, including facilities managers. Facilities managers deliver data
processing services using the Company's products to those companies that prefer
to "outsource" their computer processing operations.
The Company also operates through wholly owned subsidiaries located in 44
countries outside the United States. Each of these subsidiaries has sales
executives that market all or most of the Company's products in their respective
territory. Approximately 34% of CA's net revenue in fiscal year 2000 was derived
from operations outside the United States. In addition, the Company's products
are marketed by independent distributors in those limited areas of the world
where it does not have a direct presence. Revenue from independent distributors
accounted for less than 1% of the Company's fiscal year 2000 revenue.
The Company's marketing and marketing services groups produce substantially
all of the user documentation for its products, as well as promotional
brochures, advertising, and other business solicitation materials. The duties of
these groups include the writing of the requisite materials, editing,
typesetting, photocomposition, and printing.
Licensing
CA does not sell or transfer title to its products to its clients. The
products are licensed on a "right to use" basis pursuant to license agreements.
Such licenses generally require that the client use the product only for its
internal purposes at its own computer installation. In addition, the Company
offers license agreements to facility managers which enable them to use the
Company's software in conjunction with their outsourcing business. Under certain
circumstances, the Company will also license, on a non-exclusive basis, clients
and other third parties as resellers of certain of the Company's products. The
Company is encouraging VARs to actively market the Company's products. VARs
often bundle the Company's products with specialized consulting services to
provide clients with a complete solution. Such VARs generally service a
particular market or sector and provide enhanced user-specific solutions.
CA offers several types of software licenses. Under the standard license
form, the client agrees to pay a license fee for use of the software and either
an annual usage and maintenance fee, or an annual optional maintenance fee for
as long as the client elects to continue receiving maintenance services. Where
maintenance is elected throughout the license term, the maintenance fees
typically approximate 20% of the aggregate license and maintenance fees for the
product. Where applicable, payment of the maintenance fee entitles the client to
receive technical support for the product, as well as to receive all
enhancements and improvements (other than features subject to a separate charge)
to the product developed by the Company during the period covered. A significant
number of the Company's clients elect to license the Company's products under a
variety of installment payment options. These plans primarily incorporate
license fees and optional maintenance fees into annual or monthly payments
ranging from one to ten years.
The Company also offers licenses for products and groups of products based
on the size of an enterprise's computing power as measured in MIPS-millions of
instructions per second. Under this option, the client is free to reallocate
hardware or modify user configurations without incremental costs. Similar
licensing alternatives are available for CA's midrange and UNIX-based software
products. Some of the Company's distributed products, notably the Unicenter TNG
family of products, are licensed on a power unit basis. These licenses are
typically perpetual in nature whereby the client has the option to elect
maintenance (technical support and product enhancements) on an annual basis.
Distributed products sold through third-party VARs, distributors, and dealers
are generally subject to distribution licensing agreements and end-user "shrink
wrap" licenses.
Product revenue for licenses is recognized upon delivery of the product to
the client. Maintenance fees are recognized ratably over the agreed maintenance
term. When the client has elected to pay the license fee in monthly or annual
installments, the present value of the license fee is recognized as product
revenue upon delivery of the product. Maintenance is unbundled from the selling
price and ratably recognized over the term of the agreement. See Note 1 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
revenue recognition policies.
Under its standard form of license agreement, the Company warrants that its
products will perform in accordance with specifications published in the product
documentation.
Competition and Risks
The computer software business is highly competitive. It is marked by
rapid, substantial technological change, as well as the steady emergence of new
companies and products. In addition, it is affected by such issues as the Year
2000 date change and the introduction by the European Economic and Monetary
Union of the Euro. There are many companies, including IBM, Sun, HP, Compaq, and
other large computer manufacturers, which have substantially greater resources,
as well as the ability to develop and market software programs similar to and
competitive with the products offered by the Company. Competitive products are
also offered by numerous independent software companies, which specialize in
specific aspects of the highly fragmented software industry. Some, like
Microsoft, Oracle Corporation, and SAP AG, are the leading developers and
vendors in their specialized markets.
IBM, HP, Sun, Compaq, and Microsoft are by far the largest suppliers of
systems software, and are the manufacturers of the computer hardware systems
used by most of the Company's clients. Historically, these operating system
manufacturers have modified or introduced new operating systems, systems
software, and computer hardware. Such new products could in the future
incorporate features which are currently performed by the Company's products or
could require substantial modification of the Company's products to maintain
compatibility with these companies' hardware or software. Although the Company
has to date been able to adapt its products and its business to changes
introduced by hardware manufacturers, there can be no assurance that it will be
able to do so in the future.
In the past, licensees using proprietary operating systems were furnished
with "source code," which makes the operating system generally understandable to
programmers, or "object code," which directly controls the hardware, and other
technical documentation. Since the availability of source code facilitated the
development of systems and applications software which must interface with the
operating systems, independent software vendors such as the Company were able to
develop and market compatible software. IBM and other hardware vendors have a
policy of restricting the use or availability of the source code for some of
their operating systems. To date, this policy has not had a material effect on
the Company. However, such restrictions may, in the future, result in higher
research and development costs for the Company in connection with the
enhancement and modification of the Company's existing products and the
development of new products. Although the Company does not expect such
restrictions will have this effect on its products, there can be no assurance
that such restrictions or other restrictions will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business.
The Company anticipates ongoing use of microcode or firmware provided by
hardware manufacturers. Microcode and firmware are essentially software programs
in hardware form and are therefore less flexible than pure software. The Company
believes that such continued use will not have a significant impact on the
Company's operations and that its products will remain compatible with any
changes to such code. However, there can be no assurance that future
technological developments will not have an adverse impact on the Company's
operations.
Although no company competes with CA across its entire software product
line or a significant portion thereof, the Company considers at least 75 firms
to be directly competitive with one or more of the Company's systems software
packages. In database management, applications development, enterprise
management, and applications software for the desktop, distributed, and
mainframe environments, there are hundreds of companies whose primary business
focus is on at least one but not all of these solutions. Certain of these
companies have substantially larger operations than the Company's in these
specific niches. Many companies, large and small, use their own technical
personnel to develop programs similar to those of the Company; these companies
may rightly be seen as competitors of the Company. The Company believes that the
most important considerations for potential purchasers of software packages are:
product capabilities; ease of installation and use; dependability and quality of
technical support; documentation and training; the experience and financial
stability of the vendor; integration of the product line; and, to a lesser
extent, price. Price is a strong factor in the distributed marketplace. As the
distributed market continues to expand and develop, competitors could be
expected to form strategic alliances or acquire other companies to increase
their presence in this market.
The Company's products are designed to improve the productivity and
efficiency of its clients' information processing resources. Accordingly, in a
recessionary environment, the Company's products are often a reasonable economic
alternative to customers faced with the prospect of incurring expenditures to
increase their existing information processing resources. However, a general or
regional slowdown in the world economy could adversely affect the Company's
operations. Additionally, further deterioration of the exchange rate of foreign
currencies against the U.S. dollar may continue to affect the Company's ability
to increase its revenue within those markets.
As the Company grows, it is increasingly dependent upon large dollar
enterprise transactions with individual clients. The size and magnitude of such
transactions have increased over time. There are no assurances that comparable
transactions will occur in subsequent periods.
The Company's future operating results may also be affected by a number of
other factors, including but not limited to: a significant percentage of the
Company's quarterly sales being finalized in the last few days of the period
making financial forecasts especially difficult, which could create a
substantial risk of variances with the actual results; the continued risks of
potential litigation arising from the Year 2000 date change for computer
programs; the emergence of new competitive initiatives resulting from rapid
technological advances; changes in pricing in the market; the risks associated
with new product introductions as well as the uncertainty of marketplace
acceptance of these new or enhanced products from either the Company or its
competitors; risks associated with the entry into new markets at lower profit
margins, such as professional services; the risks associated with integrating
newly acquired businesses and technologies; delays in product delivery; reliance
on mainframe capacity growth; the ability to recruit and retain qualified
personnel; business conditions in the distributed and mainframe software and
hardware markets; the strength of the Company's distribution channels;
uncertainty and volatility associated with Internet and eBusiness related
activities; the ability to update the Company's product offerings to conform
with new governmental rules; use of software patent rights to attempt to limit
competition; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;
the volatility of the international marketplace; uncertainties relative to
global economic conditions; the Company's reliance on a single family of
products for a material portion of its sales; the effect of new accounting
pronouncements and interpretations on the Company's revenue recognition
practices; the Company's ability to manage fixed and variable expense growth
relative to revenue growth; and other risks described in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With the acquisition of Sterling on March 31, 2000, and a subsequent
worldwide sales reorganization in April 2000, there can be no assurances that
the distractions and uncertainties caused by these events will not have a
negative effect on the Company's revenue and net income during fiscal year 2001.
Product Protection
The products of the Company are treated as trade secrets which contain
confidential information. CA relies on its contractual agreements with clients
as well as its own security systems and confidentiality procedures for
protection. In addition to obtaining patent protection for new technology, the
Company protects its products, their documentation, and other written materials
under copyright law. The Company also obtains trademark protection for its
various product names. CA from time to time receives notices from third parties
claiming infringement by the Company's products on third-party proprietary
rights. The Company expects that its software will be subject to such claims
more frequently as the number of products and competitors in the Company's
industry grows and the functionality of products overlap. Such claims could
result in litigation, which could be costly and/or result in licensing
arrangements on terms not favorable to the Company, including the payment of
royalties to third parties. CA's business could be adversely affected by such
litigation and licensing arrangements and by any inability on CA's part to
develop substitute technology.
Clients
No individual client accounted for a material portion of the Company's
revenue during any of the past three fiscal years. Since the majority of the
Company's software is used with relatively expensive computer hardware, most of
its revenue is derived from companies which have the resources to make a
substantial commitment to data processing and their computer installations. The
majority of the world's major companies use one or more of the Company's
software packages. The Company's software products are generally used in a broad
range of industries, businesses, and applications. The Company's clients include
manufacturers, financial service providers, banks, insurance companies,
educational institutions, hospitals, and government agencies. The Company's
products are also sold to and through distributors and VARs.
Product Development
The history of the computer industry has seen rapid changes in hardware and
software technology. The Company must maintain the usefulness of its products as
well as modify and enhance its products to accommodate changes to, and to ensure
compatibility with, hardware and software.
To date, the Company has been able to adapt its products to changes in the
computer industry and, as described more fully in "General Business
Overview-Products," the Company believes that it will be able to do so in the
future. Computer software vendors must also continually ensure that their
products meet the needs of clients in the ever-changing marketplace.
Accordingly, the Company has the policy of continually enhancing, improving,
adapting, and adding new features to its products, as well as developing
additional products. The Company offers a facility for many of its software
products whereby problem diagnosis, program "fixes," and other mainframe
services can be provided online between the client's installation and the
support facilities of the Company. Another service, CA-TCC SM (Total Client
Care),SM provides a major extension to existing support services of the Company
by offering access to the Company's client support database. In addition, the
Company offers support services online via the Internet through its Web Track
facility. These services have contributed to the Company's ability to provide
maintenance more efficiently.
Product development work is primarily done at the Company's facilities in
San Diego, California; Maitland, Florida; Chicago, Illinois; Framingham,
Massachusetts; Mount Laurel, New Jersey; Princeton, New Jersey; Islandia, New
York; Cincinnati, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; and Herndon,
Virginia. The Company also performs product development in Sydney, Australia;
Vienna, Austria; Brussels, Belgium; Vancouver, Canada; Ditton Park, England;
Paris, France; Darmstadt, Germany; Tel Aviv, Israel; and Milan, Italy. For
fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, product development and
enhancements charged to operations were $568 million, $423 million, and $369
million, respectively. In fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Company
capitalized $36 million, $29 million, and $23 million, respectively, of
internally developed software costs.
Certain of the Company's products were acquired from other companies and
individuals. The Company continues to seek synergistic companies, products, and
partnerships. The purchase price of acquired products (such as purchased
software) is capitalized and amortized over the useful life of such purchases or
a period not exceeding seven years.
Employees
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 21,000 employees. Of
this total, approximately 2,600 were located at its headquarters facility in
Islandia, New York, approximately 10,300 were located at other offices in the
United States, and approximately 8,100 were located at its offices in foreign
countries. Of the total employees, approximately 5,200 were engaged in product
development efforts, 6,700 were part of the Field Services Group, and 5,600 were
engaged in sales and sales support functions. The Company believes its employee
relations are excellent.

Revenue
See Note 4 of Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements for financial data
pertaining to the geographic distribution of the Company's operations.
Item 2. Properties
The principal properties of the Company are geographically distributed to
meet sales and operating requirements. All of the properties of the Company are
generally considered to be both suitable and adequate to meet current operating
requirements.
The Company leases approximately 260 office facilities throughout the
United States, including two new regional facilities in Herndon, Virginia and
Framingham, Massachusetts totaling approximately 230,000 square feet and 150,000
square feet, respectively. The Company has approximately 245 office facilities
outside the United States. Expiration dates on material lease obligations range
from fiscal years 2001 to 2023.
The Company owns an 850,000 square-foot Corporate Headquarters in Islandia,
New York, as well as various office facilities in the United States ranging from
1,000 to 250,000 square feet. The Company owns two office facilities in Germany
totaling approximately 120,000 square feet and one office facility in Italy with
approximately 140,000 square feet. In October 1999, the Company completed
construction of its 250,000 square-foot European Headquarters in the United
Kingdom.
The Company owns various computer, telecommunications, and electronic
equipment. It also leases IBM, HP, Sun, Comdisco, Ameritech, El Camino,
Meridian, and DG computers located at the Company's facilities in Islandia, New
York and Chicago, Illinois. This equipment is used for the Company's internal
product development, for technical support efforts and for administrative
purposes. The Company considers its computer and other equipment to be adequate
for its needs. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
information concerning lease obligations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company and certain of its officers are defendants in a number of
shareholder class action lawsuits alleging that a class consisting of all
persons who purchased the Company's stock during the period January 20, 1998
until July 22, 1998 were harmed by misleading statements, representations, and
omissions regarding the Company's future financial performance. These cases have
been consolidated into a single action (the "Shareholder Action") in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ("New York Federal
Court"). The New York Federal Court has denied the defendants' motion to dismiss
the Shareholder Action, and the parties currently are engaged in discovery.
Although the ultimate outcome and liability, if any, cannot be determined,
management, after consultation and review with counsel, believes that the facts
in the Shareholder Action do not support the plaintiffs' claims and that the
Company and its officers and directors have meritorious defenses.
In addition, three derivative actions alleging misleading statements and
omissions similar to those alleged in the Shareholder Action were brought in the
New York Federal Court on behalf of the Company against a majority of the
Company's directors. An additional derivative action on behalf of the Company,
alleging that the Company issued 14.25 million more shares than were authorized
under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "1995 Plan"), also was
filed in the New York Federal Court. These derivative actions have been
consolidated into a single action (the "Derivative Action") in the New York
Federal Court. The Derivative Action has been stayed. Lastly, a derivative
action on behalf of the Company was filed in the Chancery Court in Delaware (the
"Delaware Action") alleging that 9.5 million more shares were issued to the
three 1995 Plan participants than were authorized under the 1995 Plan. The
Company and its directors who are parties to the Derivative Action and the
Delaware Action have announced that an agreement has been reached to settle the
Delaware Action and the Derivative Action. Under the terms of the proposed
settlement, which is subject to the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery
and dismissal of related claims by the New York Federal Court, the 1995 Plan
participants will return 4.5 million shares of Computer Associates stock to the
Company, at which time the Company will record a non-cash gain.
The Company, various subsidiaries and certain current and former officers
have been named as defendants in various claims and lawsuits arising in the
normal course of business. The Company believes that the facts do not support
the plaintiffs' claims and intends to vigorously contest each of them.

Item 7. management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements
and information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs and
assumptions made by the Company's management as well as information currently
available to management. When used in this document, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," and "expect," and similar expressions, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views
of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated,
believed, estimated, or expected. The Company does not intend to update these
forward-looking statements.
Fiscal Year 2000
Total contract value for the year ended March 31, 2000 increased 29%, or
$1.51 billion, over the prior year. Excluding an approximate $107 million
negative foreign exchange impact, total contract value increased 31% to $6.87
billion. Net revenue increased 31%, or $1.44 billion for the year. The license
revenue increase was primarily attributable to growth in distributed platform
product fees principally Unicenter TNG, a family of integrated business
solutions for monitoring and administering systems management across
multi-platform environments, the addition of PLATINUM products and the demand
for eCommerce solutions. The distributed platform accounted for 50% of the
Company's overall year-to-date contract value, increasing 35%, or $870 million,
over the prior fiscal year. Maintenance increased 18%, or $135 million, over
last year. The increase was primarily due to additional maintenance from prior
year license arrangements, as well as from PLATINUM licenses.
Acquisitions of several services companies, including PLATINUM's services
operations and CMSI, as well as internal growth, increased professional services
revenue by 74%, or $212 million, over the prior year. Professional services for
the year ended March 31, 2000 was negatively impacted by the Company's use of
consultants to supplement its technical resources during and after the
changeover of the date to the year 2000. The consultants were positioned at
large client sites, without charge to the client, to assist with any potential
difficulties attributable to the date change. Such activities were conducted by
the Company during December 1999 and January 2000. The process of reducing low
margin contracts associated with recently acquired companies has negatively
impacted professional services revenue.
Total net revenue in the United States for the year ended March 31, 2000
grew 38% over the prior year. This resulted from continued growth in distributed
platform product sales, OS/390 solutions, the addition of PLATINUM products, and
professional services. On a year-to-date basis, sales in the United States
represented 66% of net revenue for fiscal year 2000, compared to 63% for fiscal
year 1999. On a year-to-date basis, international net revenue, excluding the
$107 million negative foreign exchange impact, increased by $437 million, or
28%, over the prior year. The international growth was supported by the
Asia/Pacific operations, which contributed more than half of the increase this
fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year.
Price changes did not have a material impact year-to-date in fiscal year
2000 or in the comparable period in fiscal year 1999.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
revenue for the year, excluding the charges associated with CHS Electronics,
Inc. ("CHS") of approximately $50 million, decreased to 30% from 31% the prior
year. The decrease was largely attributable to efficiencies realized by
eliminating redundant headcount and overhead expenses as a result of the
PLATINUM integration. This was partially offset by an increase in personnel
costs related to an overall increase in headcount resulting from the expansion
of the Company's Field Services Group (professional services technical
resources), as well as higher spending on marketing associated with a new
television campaign which commenced in the quarter ended December 31, 1999.
Product development and enhancement expenses increased $145 million, or 34%, for
the year compared to last year. There was continued emphasis on adapting and
enhancing products for the distributed processing environment, in particular
Unicenter TNG, Jasmine ii, and Neugents, as well as the broadening of the
Company's eCommerce product offerings, and additional expenses related to
development efforts of products obtained through the acquisition of PLATINUM.
Commissions and royalties as a percentage of net revenue were 5% and 6% for
fiscal years 2000 and 1999, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense
in the year increased $269 million. The increase was primarily due to the
additional amortization of purchased intangibles associated with the acquisition
of PLATINUM, marginally offset by the scheduled reductions in the amortization
associated with past acquisitions. Net interest expense increased $216 million
for this year compared to last year. The additional interest expense was related
to the increase in average debt outstanding associated with borrowings incurred
to fund the PLATINUM acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 and
other smaller acquisitions in the current and prior fiscal years.
The pre-tax income of $1.59 billion for fiscal year 2000 is an increase of
57%, or $580 million, over fiscal year 1999. Excluding special charges of $645
and $150 million for in-process research and development relating to the
acquisitions of PLATINUM and Sterling, respectively, and approximately $50
million relating to CHS, pre-tax income would be $2.44 billion, a 17% increase
over the prior year exclusive of any special charges. Net income for the year
ended March 31, 2000 was $696 million, an increase of $70 million, or 11%, over
fiscal year 1999. Year-to-date net income, excluding the aforementioned
in-process research and development charges and CHS charge, was $1.52 billion,
an increase of $222 million, or 17%, over last year's net income, exclusive of
the one-time after-tax charge of $675 million associated with the vesting of
20.25 million shares under the 1995 Plan. The Company's consolidated
year-to-date effective tax rate, excluding the purchased research and
development and the 1995 Plan charges, was 37.5% for both fiscal years 2000 and
1999. The addition of non-deductible intangibles from the acquisition of
PLATINUM was offset by a shift in the mix of domestic and foreign income.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA")
totaled $3.37 billion for fiscal year 2000, an increase of 33%, or $841 million,
over fiscal year 1999. This EBITDA total is derived by adding back interest,
depreciation and amortization, and income taxes into the $1.52 billion
year-to-date net income prior to special charges.
Fiscal Year 1999
The Company's fiscal year 1999 total contract value of $5.3 billion
increased 11% over the $4.7 billion in fiscal year 1998. The growth was
primarily attributable to greater contract value from product licensing fees,
the continued demand for less restrictive enterprise licensing pricing options,
and an emphasis placed on professional services. Unicenter TNG, a family of
integrated business solutions for monitoring and administering systems
management across multi-platform environments accounted for approximately 25% of
the Company's overall contract value. Net revenue also increased 11%, or $460
million for the year. Professional services revenue from the Company's
consulting services business and educational programs for fiscal year 1999 grew
by 89%, or $136 million over fiscal year 1998, to $288 million. The growth was
primarily attributable to an increase in billable hours. Maintenance, which is
deferred and ratably recognized over the term of the agreement increased 1%, or
$9 million in fiscal year 1999. Additional maintenance from prior year license
arrangements was partially offset by the ongoing trend of site consolidations
and expanding client/server revenue sold by VARs, which yield lower maintenance.
Total United States and international contract value increased by 9% and 15%,
respectively, for fiscal year 1999 as a result of strong acceptance of the
Company's distributed software solutions. The United States further benefited
from professional services growth. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar
decreased international revenue by $44 million when compared to fiscal year
1998. Price changes did not have a material impact in either year.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for fiscal year 1999
increased to 31% of net revenue compared to 29% in fiscal year 1998. The
increase was largely attributable to an overall increase in personnel expense.
The Company is continuing its ongoing effort to expand its Global Professional
ServicesTM division and worldwide sales organization. Marketing costs related to
new product introductions including the Enterprise Edition and Workgroup Edition
Solutions also contributed to the increase. The Enterprise Edition products are
the Company's state-of-the-art mid-market solutions addressing security, network
management, asset management, application development, information management,
and eCommerce. The Workgroup Editions provide the same solutions as the
Enterprise Editions with a focus on smaller computing environments. In fiscal
year 1999, new and existing product development and enhancement expenditures
increased $54 million, or 15%. Continued emphasis on adapting and enhancing
products for the distributed environment, in particular Unicenter TNG,
Jasmine,AE Opal,TM the Enterprise and Workgroup Edition Solutions, as well as
broadening of the Company's Internet/intranet product offerings were largely
responsible for the increase. Commissions and royalties were approximately 6% of
total net revenue for both fiscal year 1999 and 1998. Depreciation and
amortization expense decreased $24 million, or 7% in fiscal year 1999 over
fiscal year 1998. The decrease was primarily due to the scheduled reduction in
the amortization associated with The ASK Group, Inc., Legent Corporation, and
Cheyenne Software, Inc. acquisitions, partially offset by the amortization
associated with fiscal year 1999 acquisitions. For fiscal year 1999, net
interest expense was $123 million, a decrease of $20 million over fiscal year
1998. Excluding the one-time charge associated with the Computer Sciences
Corporation ("CSC") tender in fiscal year 1998, net interest expense in fiscal
year 1999 increased $10 million over fiscal year 1998. The increase is
attributable to an increase in average debt outstanding of approximately $500
million, offset by an increase to interest income related to cash proceeds from
the April 1998 Senior Note issuance. Fiscal year 1999 pre-tax profit excluding
the one-time charge of $1,071 million relating to the vesting of 20.25 million
shares under the 1995 Plan was $2.08 billion compared to $1.87 billion in fiscal
year 1998. Net income per share in fiscal year 1999 was $1.11 per share on a
diluted basis. Excluding the charge, net income per share in fiscal year 1999
would have been $2.31, a 12% increase over fiscal year 1998 net income of $2.06
per share. The consolidated effective tax rate for fiscal year 1999, excluding
the charge, and for fiscal year 1998 was approximately 37.5%.
EBITDA totaled $2.53 billion for fiscal year 1999, an increase of 7%, or
$158 million, over fiscal year 1998. This EBITDA total is derived by adding back
interest, depreciation and amortization, and income taxes into the $1.30 billion
year-to-date net income prior to special charges.
A total of 20.25 million restricted shares were made available for grant to
three key executives under the 1995 Plan approved by the stockholders at the
August 1995 Annual Meeting. An initial grant of 6.75 million restricted shares
was made to the executives at inception of the 1995 Plan. In January 1996, based
on the achievement of a price target for the Company's common stock, 1.35
million shares (20%) of the initial grant vested, subject to continued
employment of the executives through March 31, 2000. Accordingly, the Company
began accruing compensation expense associated with the 1.35 million shares over
the employment period. Annual compensation expense of $7 million was charged
against income for each of the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996.
Additional grants of the remaining 13.5 million shares available under the 1995
Plan were made based on the achievement of certain price targets. These
additional grants and the unvested portion of the initial grant vested in May
1998 and are further subject to significant limitations on transfer during the
seven years following vesting. The vesting occurred after the closing price of
the Company's stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceeded $53.33 for 60
trading days within a twelve-month period. A one-time charge of $1,071 million
was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.

The Company has traditionally reported lower profit margins in the first
two quarters of each fiscal year than those experienced in the third and fourth
quarters. As part of the annual budget process, management establishes higher
discretionary expense levels in relation to projected revenue for the first half
of the year. Historically, the Company's combined third and fourth quarter
revenue has been greater than that of the first half of the year, as these two
quarters coincide with clients' calendar year budget periods and the culmination
of the Company's annual sales plan. This historically higher second half revenue
has resulted in significantly higher profit margins since total expenses have
not increased in proportion to revenue. However, past financial performance
should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance.
The Company's products are designed to improve the productivity and
efficiency of its clients' information processing resources. Accordingly, in a
recessionary environment, the Company's products are often a reasonable economic
alternative to customers faced with the prospect of incurring expenditures to
increase their existing information processing resources. However, a general or
regional slowdown in the world economy could adversely affect the Company's
operations. Additionally, further deterioration of the exchange rate of foreign
currencies against the U.S. dollar may continue to affect the Company's ability
to increase its revenue within those markets.
As the Company grows, it is increasingly dependent upon large dollar
enterprise transactions with individual clients. The size and magnitude of such
transactions have increased over time. There are no assurances that comparable
transactions will occur in subsequent periods.
The Company's future operating results may also be affected by a number of
other factors, including but not limited to: a significant percentage of the
Company's quarterly sales being finalized in the last few days of the period
making financial forecasts especially difficult, which could create a
substantial risk of variances with the actual results; the continued risks of
potential litigation arising from the Year 2000 date change for computer
programs; the emergence of new competitive initiatives resulting from rapid
technological advances; changes in pricing in the market; the risks associated
with new product introductions as well as the uncertainty of marketplace
acceptance of these new or enhanced products from either the Company or its
competitors; risks associated with the entry into new markets at lower profit
margins, such as professional services; the risks associated with integrating
newly acquired businesses and technologies; delays in product delivery; reliance
on mainframe capacity growth; the ability to recruit and retain qualified
personnel; business conditions in the distributed and mainframe software and
hardware markets; the strength of the Company's distribution channels;
uncertainty and volatility associated with Internet and eBusiness related
activities; the ability to update the Company's product offerings to conform
with new governmental rules; use of software patent rights to attempt to limit
competition; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;
the volatility of the international marketplace; uncertainties relative to
global economic conditions; the Company's reliance on a single family of
products for a material portion of its sales; the effect of new accounting
pronouncements and interpretations on the Company's revenue recognition
practices; the Company's ability to manage fixed and variable expense growth
relative to revenue growth; and other risks described in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With the acquisition of Sterling on March 31, 2000, and a subsequent
worldwide sales reorganization in April 2000, there can be no assurances that
the distractions and uncertainties caused by these events will not have a
negative effect on the Company's revenue and net income during fiscal year 2001.
In-Process Research and Development
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company acquired Sterling in
a stock-for-stock exchange valued at approximately $4.1 billion. In the first
quarter of fiscal year 2000, the Company acquired PLATINUM for approximately
$4.3 billion in cash and assumed liabilities. There were no acquisitions
involving acquired in-process research and development ("IPR&D") charges in
fiscal year 1999. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information concerning acquisitions.
Acquired IPR&D charges relate to acquisitions of software companies
accounted for under the purchase method, in which a portion of the purchase
price is allocated to acquired in-process technology and is expensed
immediately, since the technological feasibility of the research and development
projects have not yet been achieved and are believed to have no alternative
future use. Independent valuations of Sterling and PLATINUM were performed and
used as an aid in determining the fair value of the identifiable intangible
assets and in allocating the purchase price among the acquired assets, including
the portion of the purchase price attributed to IPR&D which was $150 million and
$645 million for Sterling and PLATINUM, respectively. Assets were identified
through on-site interviews with management and a review of data provided by the
Company and discussions with the acquired companies' management concerning the
acquired assets, technologies in development, costs necessary to complete the
IPR&D, historical financial performance, estimates of future performance, market
potential, and the assumptions underlying these estimates.
The "Income Approach" was utilized for the valuation analysis of IPR&D for
both Sterling and PLATINUM. This approach focuses on the income-producing
capability of the asset and was obtained through review of data provided by the
Company and the acquired companies and analysis of relevant market sizes, growth
factors, and expected trends in technology. The steps followed in applying this
approach included estimating the costs to develop the purchased in-process
technology into commercially viable products, estimating the resulting net cash
flows from such projects, and discounting the net cash flows back to their
present values using a rate of return consistent with the relative risk levels.
The ongoing development projects at Sterling at the time of the purchase
were comprised primarily of application development and information management,
business intelligence, network management, and storage management tools and
solutions. The acquired projects included add-on features, tools and next-
generation versions of COOL, VISION, EUREKA, SAMS,TM and SOLVE R product
families. At the time of acquisition, it was estimated that, on average, 68% of
the development effort had been completed and the remaining development effort
would take approximately 14 months to complete, with a cost of approximately $9
million.
The ongoing development projects at PLATINUM at the time of the purchase
were comprised primarily of application development, database, and enterprise
management tools, and data warehousing solutions. The acquired projects included
add-on features, tools and next generation versions of DB2 Solutions,TM
ProVisionTM Security, ADvantageTM application development, end-to-end data
warehousing, and Internet infrastructure product families. At the time of
acquisition, it was estimated that, on average, 68% of the development effort
had been completed and the remaining development effort would take approximately
12 months to complete, with a cost of approximately $41 million.
The resulting net cash flows from the Sterling and PLATINUM projects were
based on management's estimates of product revenues, cost of goods sold,
operating expenses, R&D costs, and income taxes from such projects. The revenue
projections used to value the IPR&D were based on estimates of relevant market
sizes and growth factors, expected trends in technology, and the nature and
expected timing of new product introductions by the Company and its competitors.
The rate used in discounting the net cash flows from the IPR&D approximated 20%
for both Sterling and PLATINUM. These discount rates, higher than that of the
Company's cost of capital, are due to the uncertainties surrounding the
successful development of IPR&D. The efforts required to develop the in-process
technology of the acquired companies into commercially viable products
principally relate to the completion of planning, designing, prototyping, and
testing functions that are necessary to establish that the software produced
will meet its design specifications, including technical performance, features,
and function requirements. The Company has reviewed its projections of revenue
and estimated costs of completion and has compared these projections with
results through March 31, 2000. To date, in the aggregate, the projections have
not varied materially from original projections.
If these projects do not continue to be successfully developed, the revenue
and profitability of the Company may be adversely affected in future periods.
Additionally, the value of other intangible assets acquired may become impaired.
Results will also be subject to uncertain market events and risks that are
beyond the Company's control, such as trends in technology, government
regulations, market size and growth, and product introduction by competitors.
Management believes that the assumptions used in the purchased IPR&D valuation
reasonably estimate the future benefits. There can be no assurance that in
future periods actual results will not deviate from current estimates.
Year 2000 Issue
As of the date of this filing, the Company has not incurred any significant
business disruptions nor product interruptions as a result of the Year 2000 date
change. While no such occurrences have developed, Year 2000 issues may not
become apparent as of this date, and therefore there is no assurance that the
Company will not experience future disruptions.
The Company has designed and tested substantially all of its recent product
offerings to be Year 2000 compliant. These products have met rigorous compliance
criteria and have undergone extensive review to detect any Year 2000 failures.
The Company has publicly identified products that have not been and will not be
updated to be Year 2000 compliant and has encouraged clients using these
products to migrate to compliant versions/products. In general, these Year 2000
compliance efforts have been part of the Company's ongoing software development
process. As such, incremental costs are not deemed material and have been
included in product development and enhancement expenses. There can be no
assurances that the Company's compliant products do not contain undetected
problems associated with Year 2000 compliance. Although the Company believes
that its license agreements provide it with protection against liability, the
Company cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any legal claims will be
brought, or whether the Company will suffer any liability as a result of adverse
consequences to its customers. Additionally, the Company adopted a Millennium
WatchSM plan whereby clients around the world were provided with 24-hour on-site
and in-house technical support from December 27, 1999 through January 7, 2000.
The Company extended the schedules of the internal administrative and
facility-related staff to support the infrastructure during the Millennium
Watch. The plan resulted in approximately $8 million of additional expenditures
over the period.
The Company has recognized the significance of the Year 2000 issue as it
relates to its internal systems including IT and non-IT systems,and understands
that the impact extends beyond traditional hardware and software to automated
facility systems and third-party suppliers. The total cost of preparing internal
systems to be Year 2000 compliant has not been and is not expected to be
material to the Company's operations, liquidity, or capital resources. Total
known expenditures, excluding personnel costs of existing staff, related to
internal systems' Year 2000 readiness were approximately $30 million. Such
expenditures commenced in 1996.
Demand for certain of the Company's products was generated by customers who
were replacing or upgrading computer systems to accommodate the Year 2000 date
change. Following the date change, demand for some of the Company's products
diminished.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities increased $851 million
from the March 31, 1999 balance of $536 million to $1,387 million at March 31,
2000. Cash and investments associated with Sterling represented approximately
$475 million of the year-end balance.
Year-to-date cash generated from operations was $1,566 million, an increase
of 24% from the prior year. The Company used its cash from operations primarily
to fund acquisition costs and for debt reduction. The primary source of cash for
the year was higher net income adjusted for non-cash charges. Other sources of
cash included strong collections of outstanding accounts receivable and the
Company's decision, in the fourth quarter, to assign selected existing
installment accounts receivable to a third party. The Company may continue to
explore the use of financing companies as a means of expediting debt reduction,
mitigating interest rate risk, and reducing installment accounts receivable
balances.
As part of its acquisition of PLATINUM in May 1999, the Company terminated
its revolving credit lines and replaced them with $4.5 billion of committed bank
financing. This financing consisted of a $1.5 billion 364-day revolving credit
facility, a $1 billion four-year revolving credit facility and a $2 billion
four-year term loan. Borrowings on these facilities for fiscal year 2000 totaled
$3.620 billion and were used to purchase the outstanding shares of PLATINUM and
fund related shut-down costs. The Company repaid $425 million of this amount
during the year. At March 31, 2000, $3.195 billion remained outstanding at
various interest rates. Interest is determined based on a bank facility ratings
grid which applies a margin to the prevailing London InterBank Offered Rate
("LIBOR"). In May 2000, the Company renewed the 364-day revolver, for a total of
$4.3 billion in committed bank facilities.
The Company also utilizes other financial markets in order to maintain its
broad sources of liquidity. In fiscal year 1999, the Company issued an aggregate
of $1.75 billion of unsecured Senior Notes. Amounts borrowed, rates and
maturities for each issue were $575 million at 6 1/4% due April 15, 2003, $825
million at 6 3/8% due April 15, 2005, and $350 million at 6 1/2% due April 15,
2008. $256 million also remains outstanding under the Company's 6.77% Senior
Notes, a private placement with final maturity in 2003. In addition, the Company
maintains an 85 million pound sterling denominated credit facility established
to finance construction of its European World Headquarters at Ditton Park in the
United Kingdom. Approximately U.S. $130 million was outstanding under this
facility at March 31, 2000. Upon maturity in June 2000, the Company anticipates
the facility will be converted into a long-term mortgage for the property. In
the first quarter of fiscal year 2001, the Company also expects to implement a
commercial paper program as a means of reducing its borrowing costs and
establishing a presence in a new liquidity market.
Unsecured and uncommitted multicurrency lines of credit are available to
meet any short-term working capital needs for subsidiaries operating outside the
U.S. These lines total U.S. $50 million, of which $14 million was drawn at March
31, 2000.
Debt ratings for the Company's senior unsecured notes and its bank credit
facilities are BBB+ and Baa1 from Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor
Services, respectively. The Company has also received A2 and P2 ratings from
Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, respectively, for its
anticipated commercial paper program. Peak borrowings under all debt facilities
during fiscal year 2000 totaled approximately $5.7 billion with a weighted
average interest rate of 6.6%.
To date, the Company has purchased approximately 150 million shares under
its various open market Common Stock repurchase programs. The remaining number
of shares authorized for repurchase is approximately 50 million.
In addition to expansion efforts at its U.S. headquarters in Islandia, New
York, capital resource requirements at March 31, 2000 consisted of lease
obligations for office space, computer equipment, mortgage or loan obligations
and amounts due as a result of product and Company acquisitions. Refer to Notes
6 and 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details concerning
commitments. Additionally, the Company may be required to make tax payments of
approximately $80 million related to the settlement and the return to the
Company of 4.5 million shares of its common stock associated with the 1995 Plan.
See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information. It is expected that existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities, the availability of borrowings under credit lines, and cash provided
from operations will be sufficient to meet ongoing cash requirements.
Item 7(a). Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to the Company's investment portfolio, debt, and installment accounts
receivable. The Company has a prescribed methodology whereby it invests its
excess cash in debt instruments of government agencies and high quality
corporate issuers (generally Standard & Poor's single "A" rating and higher). To
mitigate risk, many of the securities have a maturity date within one year, and
holdings of any one issuer excluding the U.S. Government do not exceed 10%.
Periodically, the portfolio is reviewed and adjusted if the credit rating of a
security held has deteriorated. The Company does not utilize derivative
financial instruments.
The Company maintains a blend of both fixed and floating rate debt
instruments. At March 31, 2000, the Company's total outstanding debt
approximated $5.4 billion. Of this amount, approximately $2.1 billion was
comprised of fixed rate obligations; the remaining $3.3 billion was floating
rate debt. If market rates decline, the Company could be required to make
payments on the fixed rate debt that would exceed those based on current market
rates. Each 25 basis point decrease in interest rates would have an associated
annual opportunity cost of approximately $5 million. Each 25 basis point
increase or decrease in interest rates would have an approximately $8 million
annual effect on variable rate debt interest based upon the balances of such
debt at March 31, 2000.
The Company offers financing arrangements with installment payment terms in
connection with its software solution sales. The aggregate contract value
includes an imputed interest element, which can vary with the interest rate
environment. Each 25 basis point increase in interest rates would have an
associated annual opportunity cost of approximately $15 million.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company conducts business on a worldwide basis through subsidiaries in
44 countries. The Company is therefore exposed to movement in currency exchange
rates. As part of its risk management strategy and consistent with prior years,
the Company did not enter into any foreign exchange derivative transactions. In
addition, the Company manages its level of exposure by denominating
international sales and payment of related expenses in the local currency of its
subsidiaries. A 1% decline in all foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar
would have an insignificant effect on the Company's net income.
Equity Price Risk
The Company has a minimal investment in marketable equity securities of
publicly-traded companies. At March 31, 2000, these investments were considered
available-for-sale with any unrealized gains or losses deferred as a component
of stockholders' equity. It is not customary for the Company to make investments
in equity securities as part of its investment strategy.

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing
Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as set forth in the following
paragraph, which undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into
Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 333-32942 (filed March 21,
2000), 333-31284 (filed February 28, 2000), 333-83147 (filed July 19, 1999),

(filed October 28, 1983), and 2-79751 (filed October 6, 1982).
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its

COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business: Computer Associates International, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company") designs, develops, markets, licenses, and supports
a wide range of integrated computer software solutions.
Principles of Consolidation: Significant intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Revenue Recognition: Product license fee revenue is recognized
after acceptance by the client, delivery of the product, and when the collection
of the resulting receivables is reasonably assured. Maintenance revenue, whether
bundled with product license or priced separately, is recognized ratably over
the maintenance period. When offered separately from license agreements,
maintenance agreements with clients are typically one year in duration, with
associated deferred maintenance reflected as an obligation. The Company
experienced maintenance renewal rates on such contracts in excess of 85%.
Maintenance when bundled with a license term is either separately defined and
renewable annually at the option of the client or is deferred based upon renewal
rates. License arrangements generally provide the customer with extended payment
terms. If, during the original payment term, the customer purchases additional
products valued in excess of the original arrangement, all licenses are
aggregated into one arrangement and reflected as contract value. Accounts
receivable resulting from product sales with extended payment terms are
discounted to present value. The amounts of the discount credited to revenue for
the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, 1998 were $529 million, $408 million, and
$356 million, respectively.
Professional services revenues are derived from the Company's consulting
services business and educational programs. These revenues are comprised of both
time and material contracts and to a lesser extent fixed-price contracts. Time
and material contract revenues are recognized as services are performed. Fixed
price contract revenue are recognized based on the percentage-of-completion
method.
Marketable Securities: The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company has evaluated its investment policies consistent with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and determined that all of its
investment securities are to be classified as available-for-sale.
Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized
gains and losses reported in Stockholders' Equity under the caption "Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." The amortized cost of debt securities is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.
Such amortization is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses and
declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale
securities are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The
cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest
and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in
interest income.
Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of
marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company's marketable
securities consist primarily of high quality securities with limited exposure to
any single instrument. The Company's accounts receivable balances have limited
exposure to concentration of credit risk due to the diverse client base and
geographic areas covered by operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments," defines the fair value of a financial
instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties. The fair value of the Company's cash and
cash equivalents, trade and installment accounts receivable, accounts payable,
accrued expenses, and deferred maintenance amounts approximate their carrying
value. See Note 6 for the fair value related to the Company's debt.
Property and Equipment: Land, buildings, equipment, furniture, and
improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided over
the estimated useful lives of the assets by the straight-line method. Building
and improvements are generally estimated to have 30-40 year lives and the
remaining property and equipment are estimated to have 5-7 year lives.
Intangibles: Excess of cost over net assets acquired is being amortized by
the straight-line method over the expected period of benefit, between 10 and 20
years. Unamortized goodwill at March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $5,572 million and
$1,623 million, respectively. Costs of purchased software, acquired rights to
market software products, and software development costs (costs incurred after
development of a working model or a detailed program design) are capitalized and
amortized by the straight-line method over 5-7 years, commencing with product
release. Unamortized capitalized development costs included in other assets at
March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $87 million and $72 million, respectively.
Amortization of capitalized development costs was $21 million, $18 million, and
COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
$15 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively.
The carrying values of intangible assets and other long-lived assets,
including investments, are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of
facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest
impairment. The Company performs undiscounted cash flow analyses to determine if
an impairment exists. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related
impairment loss is calculated based on fair value.
Net Income per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum
of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus
the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities, such as stock options.

*Share and per share amounts adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock split
effective November 5, 1997.
Statement of Cash Flows: Interest payments for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999, and 1998 were $319 million, $107 million, and $157 million,
respectively. Income taxes paid for these fiscal years were $368 million, $280
million, and $470 million, respectively.
Translation of Foreign Currencies: In translating financial statements of
foreign subsidiaries, all assets, and liabilities are translated using the
exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. All revenue, costs, and
expenses are translated using an average exchange rate. Net income includes
exchange losses of approximately $3 million in 2000, $7 million in 1999, and $9
million in 1998.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on
management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the
future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Reclassifications: Certain prior years' balances have been reclassified to
conform with the current year's presentation.
Comprehensive Income: SFAS No. 130 establishes rules for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses
on the Company's available-for-sale securities. The components of comprehensive
income, net of applicable tax, for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, and
1998, are included in the Statements of Stockholders' Equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Software Revenue Recognition: In October 1997, the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee ("AcSEC") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2
"Software Revenue Recognition," as amended in 1998 by SOP 98-4 and further
COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
Note 1 -- Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
amended more recently by SOP 98-9, which is effective for transactions entered
into in fiscal years beginning after March 15, 1999. These SOPs provide guidance
on applying generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on
software transactions, requiring deferral of part or all of the revenue related
to a specific contract depending on the existence of vendor-specific objective
evidence and the ability to allocate the total contract value to all elements
within the contract. Effective for the quarter ending June 30, 1999, the Company
implemented the guidelines of these SOPs. Based on the current interpretation,
there was no material impact on the overall maintenance deferral; however, as
additional implementation guidelines become available, there may be
unanticipated changes in the Company's revenue recognition practices including,
but not limited to, changes in the period over which revenue is recognized up to
and including recognition of revenue over the contract term. The future
implementation guidelines and interpretations may also require the Company to
further change its business practices in order to continue to recognize a
substantial portion of its software revenue when the product is delivered. These
changes may extend sales cycles, increase administrative costs, or otherwise
adversely affect existing operations and results of operations. In December
1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101. This SAB
provides further guidance on revenue recognition. The Company is currently in
the process of evaluating the impact of SAB 101 which is effective for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 to ensure it is in compliance. As additional
guidance becomes available, the Company may be required to change the period in
which revenue is recognized, which may have a negative impact on the Company's
prospective reported revenue.
Note 2 -- Acquisitions
The Company completed several acquisitions during fiscal years 2000 and
1999 that were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
allocation of purchase price is based upon estimates which may be revised within
one year of acquisition as additional information becomes available. It is
anticipated that the final allocation of purchase price will not differ
materially from the preliminary allocation.
On March 31, 2000, the Company acquired Sterling Software, Inc.
("Sterling") and merged one of its wholly owned subsidiaries into Sterling, at
which time Sterling became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The
shareholders of Sterling received 0.5634 shares of the Company's common stock
for each share of Sterling common stock. The Company issued approximately 46.8
million shares of common stock with an approximate fair value of $3.3 billion.
In addition, the Company assumed options to acquire common stock and incurred
acquisition related liabilities of approximately $290 million and $473 million,
respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.1 billion.
Sterling was a developer and provider of systems management, business
intelligence, and application development software products and services, as
well as a supplier of specialized information technology services for sectors of
the federal government.
On May 28, 1999, the Company acquired the common stock and the options to
acquire the common stock of PLATINUM technology International, inc. ("PLATINUM")
in a cash transaction of approximately $3.6 billion, which was paid from
drawings under the Company's $4.5 billion credit agreements. In addition, the
Company assumed debt and incurred acquisition-related liabilities of
approximately $200 million and $451 million, respectively, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $4.3 billion. PLATINUM was engaged in providing
software products in the areas of database management, eCommerce, application
infrastructure management, decision support, data warehousing, and knowledge
management, as well as year 2000 reengineering and other consulting services.
The purchase price for the Sterling and PLATINUM acquisitions have been
allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values
at the dates of acquisition as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued
Note 2 -- Acquisitions (Continued)
An independent analysis using future product cash flow forecasts and
percentage of product development completion assumptions was utilized to value
the in-process research and development amounts which had not reached the
working model stage and had no alternative future use. Accordingly, $645 million
and $150 million were expensed as non-recurring charges in fiscal year 2000
related to the PLATINUM and Sterling acquisitions, respectively.
The following table reflects unaudited pro-forma combined results of the
operations of the Company, PLATINUM, and Sterling on the basis that the
acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year for all periods
presented:

$150 million, respectively, the non-cash charge of $32 million related to CHS
Electronics, Inc. ("CHS") recorded in fiscal year 2000, the one-time charge of
$675 million relating to the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "1995
Plan") recorded in fiscal year 1999, and all special charges recorded by
PLATINUM and Sterling in fiscal years 2000 and 1999 have been excluded from all
periods presented:

In management's opinion, the pro-forma combined results of operations are
not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the
acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of fiscal year 2000 or of future
operations of the combined entities under the ownership and operation of the
Company.
On March 9, 1999, the Company acquired more than 98% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Computer Management Sciences, Inc.
("CMSI") and on March 19, 1999, merged CMSI into one of its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $400 million was
funded from drawings under the Company's credit agreements and cash from
operations. CMSI was engaged in providing custom developed information
technology solutions to a Fortune 1000 client base.
During fiscal years 2000 and 1999, the Company acquired several other
consulting businesses and product technologies in addition to the ones described
above which, either individually or collectively, are not material to the
financial statements taken as a whole. The excess of cost over net assets
acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period to
be benefited. The Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations reflect the
results of operations of the companies since the effective dates of the
purchases.

Note 2 -- Acquisitions (Continued)
At March 31, 1999, liabilities related to acquisitions totaled $134
million. During the current fiscal year, the Company established additional
reserves of $451 million, $473 million, and $12 million related to PLATINUM,
Sterling, and other acquisitions, respectively. Reductions totaling $302 million
were made against these reserves, including compensation-related payments of
$133 million, duplicate facility and other settlements of $96 million, and
goodwill adjustments of $73 million.
At March 31, 2000, the Company estimated future liabilities in connection
with acquisitions to be $768 million. These included compensation-related
liabilities ($392 million) and other acquisition-related expenditures including
duplicate facilities ($376 million). This balance was included in the "Accrued
expenses and other liabilities" line item on the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet.

Installment accounts receivable represent amounts collectible on long-term
financing arrangements and include fees for product licenses, upgrades,
maintenance, and professional services contracts. Installment receivables are
generally financed over three to six years and are recorded net of unamortized
discounts, deferred maintenance fees, and allowances for uncollectible amounts.
As of March 31, 2000, on a cumulative basis, approximately 36%, 55%, 70%, 85%,
and 90% of trade and installment accounts receivable come due within fiscal
years ended 2001 through 2005, respectively.
The provisions for uncollectible amounts for the years ended March 31,
2000, 1999, and 1998 were $77 million, $75 million, and $71 million,
respectively, and were included in the "Selling, general, and administrative"
line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Note 6 --Debt
At March 31, 1999, the Company had $325 million in short-term debt
outstanding under its $1.5 billion five-year and $1.1 billion 364-day credit
facilities. On May 26, 1999, the Company terminated these facilities and
obtained $4.5 billion of committed bank financing for the acquisition of
PLATINUM. The facilities consisted of a $1.5 billion 364-day revolver, a $1.0
billion four-year revolver, and a $2.0 billion four-year term loan. The
facilities provide for interest based upon the prevailing London InterBank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") subject to a margin determined by a bank facility ratings
grid. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial ratios. The
amount drawn under these facilities at March 31, 2000 was $3.195 billion and the
effective interest rate on this debt was approximately 7.02%. In May 2000, the
Company renewed the 364-day revolver for $1.3 billion, for a total of $4.3
billion in committed bank facilities.
The Company also maintains an 85 million pound sterling revolver that was
used to finance construction of the Company's European Headquarters at Ditton
Park, Slough, in the United Kingdom. The facility requires the Company to
maintain certain financial conditions, and borrowing costs and fees are based
upon achievement of certain financial ratios. The credit facility's interest is
calculated at LIBOR for pound sterling plus a margin. At March 31, 2000 and
1999, 79 million pound sterling (approximately U.S. $130 million) and 49 million
pound sterling (approximately U.S. $81 million) were outstanding at interest
rates of 6.3% and 6.1%, respectively. On February 22, 2000, the maturity of this
facility was extended to June 2000 while the Company completes its refinance
into a long-term mortgage for the property.
At March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, the Company had the following
unsecured, fixed-rate interest Senior Note obligations outstanding:

facilities are Baa1 and BBB+ from Moody's Investment Services and Standard &
Poor's, respectively.

Note 6 --Debt (Continued)
Unsecured and uncommitted multicurrency credit facilities of $50 million
are also available to meet any short-term working capital requirements and can
be drawn upon, up to a predefined limit, by most subsidiaries. Under these
multicurrency facilities, approximately $14 million and $3 million were drawn at
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company had various other fixed rate debt
obligations outstanding. These obligations carried annual interest rates ranging
from 6% to 7 1/2% and approximated $35 and $52 million, respectively.
The Company conducts an ongoing review of its capital structure and debt
obligations as part of its risk management strategy. To date, the Company has
not entered into any form of derivative transactions related to its debt
instruments. At March 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company's debt was
approximately $100 million less than its carrying value.
The maturities of outstanding debt for the next five fiscal years are as
follows: 2001-$919 million, 2002-$331 million, 2003-$2,310 million, 2004-$640
million, and 2005-$826 million.
Interest expense for the years ended March 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998 was
$352 million, $154 million, and $147 million, respectively.
Note 7 -- Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases real estate and certain data processing and other
equipment with lease terms expiring through 2023. The leases are operating
leases and generally provide for renewal options and additional rentals based on
escalations in operating expenses and real estate taxes. The Company has no
material capital leases. The Company has completed construction of a facility in
the United Kingdom with all costs paid as of March 31, 2000.
Rental expense under operating leases for the years ended March 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998, was $205 million, $135 million, and $140 million, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments are: 2001-$181 million; 2002-$148 million;
2003-$116 million; 2004-$87 million; 2005-$74 million; and thereafter-$242
million.
The Company and certain of its officers are defendants in a number of
shareholder class action lawsuits alleging that a class consisting of all
persons who purchased the Company's stock during the period January 20, 1998
until July 22, 1998 were harmed by misleading statements, representations, and
omissions regarding the Company's future financial performance. These cases have
been consolidated into a single action (the "Shareholder Action") in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ("New York Federal
Court"). The New York Federal Court has denied the defendants' motion to dismiss
the Shareholder Action, and the parties currently are engaged in discovery.
Although the ultimate outcome and liability, if any, cannot be determined,
management, after consultation and review with counsel, believes that the facts
in the Shareholder Action do not support the plaintiffs' claims and that the
Company and its officers and directors have meritorious defenses.
In addition, three derivative actions alleging misleading statements and
omissions similar to those alleged in the Shareholder Action were brought in the
New York Federal Court on behalf of the Company against a majority of the
Company's directors. An additional derivative action on behalf of the Company,
alleging that the Company issued 14.25 million more shares than were authorized
under the 1995 Key Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "1995 Plan"), also was
filed in the New York Federal Court. These derivative actions have been
consolidated into a single action (the "Derivative Action") in the New York
Federal Court. The Derivative Action has been stayed. Lastly, a derivative
action on behalf of the Company was filed in the Chancery Court in Delaware (the
"Delaware Action") alleging that 9.5 million more shares were issued to the
three 1995 Plan participants than were authorized under the 1995 Plan. The
Company and its directors who are parties to the Derivative Action and the
Delaware Action have announced that an agreement has been reached to settle the
Delaware Action and the Derivative Action. Under the terms of the proposed
settlement, which is subject to the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery
and dismissal of related claims by the New York Federal Court, the 1995 Plan
participants will return 4.5 million shares of Computer Associates stock to the
Company, at which time the Company will record a non-cash gain.
The Company, various subsidiaries and certain current and former officers
have been named as defendants in various claims and lawsuits arising in the
normal course of business. The Company believes that the facts do not support
the plaintiffs' claims and intends to vigorously contest each of them.

the Company's foreign subsidiaries (approximately $411 million at March 31,
2000), since the Company plans to permanently reinvest all such earnings.
Note 9 -- Stock Plans
The Company has a 1981 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1981 Plan")
pursuant to which options to purchase up to 27 million shares of Common Stock of
the Company were available for grant to employees (including officers of the
Company). The 1981 Plan expired on October 23, 1991. Therefore, from and after
that date no new options can be granted under the 1981 Plan. Pursuant to the
1981 Plan, the exercise price could not be less than the Fair Market Value
("FMV") of each share at the date of grant. Options granted thereunder may be
exercised in annual increments commencing one year after the date of grant and
become fully exercisable after the expiration of five years. All options expire
ten years from date of grant unless otherwise terminated. All of the 283,000
options which are outstanding under the 1981 Plan were exercisable at March 31,
2000 at $2.22-$2.26 per share.
The Company has a 1987 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan")
pursuant to which options to purchase up to 17 million shares of Common Stock of
the Company may be granted to select officers and key employees of the Company.
Pursuant to the 1987 Plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the FMV of
each share at the date of the grant. The option period shall not exceed 12
years. Each option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule
established by the Stock Option and Compensation Committee. As of March 31,
2000, 155,375 shares of the Company's Common Stock were available for future
grants. All of the 6.5 million options which are outstanding under the 1987 Plan
were exercisable as of that date. These options are exercisable at $2.22-$4.26
per share.
The Company's 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1991 Plan") provides that
stock appreciation rights and/or options, both qualified and non-statutory, to
purchase up to 67.5 million shares of Common Stock of the Company may be granted
to employees (including officers of the Company) under conditions similar to the
1981 Plan. As of March 31, 2000, no stock appreciation rights have been granted
under this plan and 59.9 million options have been granted. At March 31, 2000,
12.0 million of the 33.9 million options which are outstanding under the 1991
Plan were exercisable. These options are exercisable at $4.26-$51.69 per share.
The 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "1993 Plan")
provides for non-statutory options to purchase up to a total of 337,500 shares
of Common Stock of the Company to be available for grant to each member of the
Board of Directors who is not otherwise an employee of the Company. Pursuant to
the 1993 Plan, the exercise price shall be the FMV of the shares covered by the
option at the date of grant. The option period shall not exceed ten years, and
each option may be exercised in whole or in part on the first anniversary date
of its grant. As of March 31, 2000, 195,750 options have been granted under this
plan. 115,000 of the 149,000 options which are outstanding under the 1993 Plan
were exercisable as of that date. These options are exercisable at $7.59-$51.44
per share.

Note 9 -- Stock Plans (Continued)
The weighted-average fair value at date of grant for options granted in
2000, 1999, and 1998 were $27.98, $19.04, and $20.44, respectively. The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions
were used for option grants in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively; dividend
yields of .15%, .22%, and .22%; expected volatility factors of .50; risk-free
interest rates of 5.6%, 4.5%, and 6.2% and an expected life of six years. The
compensation expense and pro-forma net income may not be indicative of amounts
to be included in future periods.
Under the 1998 Incentive Award Plan (the "1998 Plan"), a total of four
million Phantom Shares, as defined in the 1998 Plan, are available for grant to
certain of the Company's employees from time to time through March 31, 2008. As
of March 31, 2000 there were approximately 1.8 million Phantom Shares
outstanding. Each Phantom Share is equivalent to one share of the Company's
common stock. Vesting is contingent upon attainment of specific criteria,
including an annual Target Closing Price ("Price") for the Company's common
stock and the participant's continued employment. The Price is based on the
average closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange for the ten days up to and including March 31st of each fiscal year.
The Price was met on March 31, 2000 and the Company began to recognize a
non-cash charge over the employment period (approximately $3 million for the
year ended March 2000). If additional tranches vest, the annual non-cash charge
will increase. Since the price of the Phantom Shares is undetermined, the
incremental expense is unknown.
During fiscal year 2000, the Company established the Year 2000 Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, (the "Purchase Plan") for all eligible employees. Under the
terms of the Purchase Plan, employees may elect to withhold between 1% and 25%
of their base pay through regular payroll deductions, subject to Internal
Revenue Code limitations. Shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased
at six-month intervals at 85% of the lower of the FMV on the first or the last
day of each six-month period. The Purchase Plan became effective January 1, 2000
and the first purchase of shares will be made on June 30, 2000. At March 31,
2000, 30 million shares were reserved for future issuance.
All references to the number of shares and share prices have been adjusted
to reflect a three-for-two stock split effective November 5, 1997.
Note 10 -- Profit Sharing Plan
The Company maintains a profit sharing plan, the Computer Associates
Savings Harvest Plan ("CASH Plan"), for the benefit of employees of the Company.
The CASH Plan is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and contains a qualified cash or
deferred arrangement as described under Section 401(k) of the Code. Pursuant to
the CASH Plan, eligible participants may elect to contribute a percentage of
their annual gross salary. Matching contributions to the CASH Plan for the year
ended March 31, 2000 were approximately $10 million and for each of the years
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were approximately $6 million and $5 million,
respectively. In addition, the Company may make discretionary contributions to
the CASH Plan. Discretionary contributions to the CASH Plan for the year ended
March 31, 2000 were approximately $25 million, and for each of the years ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 approximated $20 million and $17 million, respectively.
Note 11 -- Rights Plan
Each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock carries a stock
purchase right issued under the Company's Rights Agreement, dated June 18, 1991
and amended May 17, 1995 (the "Rights Agreement"). Under certain circumstances,
each right may be exercised to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series
One Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Class A, for $300. Under certain
circumstances, following (i) the acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights
Agreement), (ii) the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer which
would result in a person or group owning 20% or more of the Company's
outstanding common stock, or (iii) the determination by the Company's Board of
Directors and a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) that a 15% stockholder is an Adverse Person (as defined in the
Rights Agreement), each right (other than rights held by an Acquiring Person or
Adverse Person) may be exercised to purchase common stock of the Company or a
successor company with a market value of twice the $300 exercise price. The
rights, which are redeemable by the Company at one cent per right, expire in
June 2001.
