                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders.


RELATIONSHIP WITH FUJITSU LIMITED

During the second quarter of 1997 the Company recognized equipment sales to
Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) under distributorship and other arrangements which
contributed $1,700,000 to equipment sales compared to $1,830,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 ($6,854,000 and $9,316,000 for the first six months of 1997 and
1996, respectively).

Fujitsu reimburses Amdahl for certain specific engineering development
activities performed by Amdahl from time to time related to products which are
being jointly developed by Amdahl and Fujitsu. In connection with these
development efforts, Amdahl recorded $6,832,000 as an offset to engineering and
development expenses in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $6,200,000 in
the second quarter of 1996 ($15,735,000 and $12,400,000 for the first six months
of 1997 and 1996, respectively).

In March 1997 Amdahl granted Fujitsu a license for certain storage system
software for use in conjunction with Fujitsu's proprietary operating system for
$4,700,000. This amount was recognized in first quarter 1997 as software
revenue. In addition, Fujitsu has agreed to pay Amdahl a total of $18,200,000
during 1997 in compensation for changes requested by Fujitsu to development
schedules for storage products currently being developed by Fujitsu for the
Company under existing joint development programs. Of this compensation, the
Company recorded $6,000,000 as an offset to engineering and development expenses
in the second quarter of 1997 ($12,200,000 for the first six months of 1997, of
which 6,000,000 was recorded as an offset to engineering and development
expenses and $6,200,000 was recorded as an offset to equipment cost of
revenues).

Amounts due from Fujitsu and their subsidiaries included in receivables were
$24,218,000 and $43,906,000 as of June 27,1997 and December 27, 1996,
respectively.

At June 27, 1997 and December 27, 1996, $80,000,000 was outstanding under the
loan agreement with Fujitsu. The terms of the loan were renegotiated in January
1997, and the full amount is payable in January 1998. Interest expense
associated with the

loan was $1,400,000 and $1,364,000 in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively ($2,775,000 and $2,922,000 in the first six months of 1997 and
1996, respectively).


SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOW DISCLOSURE

Income taxes of $9,525,000 (net of taxes refunded of $557,000) were paid by the
Company in the first six months of 1997, and income taxes of $3,162,000 (net of
taxes refunded of $7,021,000) were paid by the Company in the first six months
of 1996. Interest paid on all borrowings was $4,713,000 and $4,842,000 for the
first six months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and equipment was $7,002,000 in
the second quarter of 1997, compared to a net transfer of Amdahl-manufactured
systems from net property, plant and equipment to inventories of $3,771,000 in
the second quarter of 1996. Net inventory capitalized into property, plant and
equipment was $19,603,000 in the first six months of 1997 and $3,174,000 in the
first six months of 1996.


BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 16, 1997, Amdahl's professional services company, DMR Trecom, Inc.,
acquired William J. Kelley & Co., Inc.(Kelley), a Boston-based information
technology firm. Under the stock purchase agreement, $3 million of the purchase
price was paid in April 1997 and $2.1 million is payable without interest in
April 1998. The present value of the aggregate purchase price at the acquisition
date, including acquisition costs, was $5.5 million.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, a portion of the purchase price was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 1997 the Company and Fujitsu entered into a merger agreement whereby
Fujitsu, through one of its subsidiaries, will purchase for $12.00 per share in
cash all outstanding shares of Amdahl stock not currently owned by Fujitsu for
approximately $850 million. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the
Amdahl directors who are unaffiliated with Fujitsu.

In accordance with the agreement, Fujitsu commenced a tender offer on Tuesday,
August 5, 1997. The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00p.m. EDT, Friday,
September 5, 1997, unless extended. Pursuant to the merger agreement, if the
tender offer



<PAGE>



is consummated, Fujitsu will be obligated to acquire any remaining Amdahl shares
in a cash merger at the same price as the tender offer. Fujitsu currently owns
approximately 42 percent of Amdahl's shares. The tender offer is subject to
several conditions, including the tender of a minimum number of shares that,
when added to Fujitsu's existing 42 percent stake, will represent 51 percent of
the outstanding Amdahl shares on a fully diluted basis, and other customary
conditions. The merger agreement further provides that upon acquisition of the
minimum number of shares by Fujitsu's subsidiary, that subsidiary will be merged
with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of the
subsidiary shall cease with Amdahl continuing as the surviving corporation.

Shortly after the July 30, 1997 public announcement that Fujitsu
proposed to acquire those shares of the Company that it did not
already own, several putative class actions were filed in the
Delaware Court of Chancery and in the California Superior Court
for the County of Santa Clara challenging the fairness of the
proposed transaction to Company stockholders.  Cases filed in the
Delaware Court of Chancery as of August 1, 1997 are: Lopez v.
Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15833NC), filed July 30,
1997; Kaltman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15834NC), filed
July 30, 1997; Uzzo v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15837, filed
July 31, 1997; O'Shea v. Kojima, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15838),
filed July 31, 1997; Gachot & Gachot, Inc. v. Amdahl Corp., et
al. (Civ. Act. No. 15839), filed July 31, 1997; Crandon Capital
Partners v. Lewis, et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15840), filed July 31,
1997; Bodakian v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Civ. Act. No. 15841),
filed July 31, 1997; McCeady v. Amdahl Corp. (Civ. Act. No.
15845), filed July 31, 1997; Zicherman v. Lewis, et al. (Civ.
Act. No.15847NC), filed August 1, 1997 and Halebian v. Lewis, et
al. (Civ. Act. No. 15850NC), filed August 1, 1997.  Cases filed
in the California Superior Court for the county of Santa Clara as
of August 1, 1997 are: Lacoff v. Amdahl Corp., et al. (Case No.
CV767860), filed July 30, 1997; and Silverman v. Amdahl Corp., et
al. (Case No. CV767896), filed August 1, 1997. In substance, the
complaints allege that because of Fujitsu's ownership of
approximately 42% of the Company, the relationship between
Fujitsu and the Company and the alleged control of Fujitsu over
the Company's officers and directors, Fujitsu dictated the terms
of the transaction and that those terms do not reflect the fair
value of the Company.  The complaints also allege that the
defendants - Fujitsu, the Company and several individuals serving
as officers or directors of one or more of those companies -
possess material non-public information regarding the fair value
of the Company and breached their fiduciary and other duties to
the public stockholders of the Company by failing to take
adequate steps to determine the fair value of the Company or to
condition the offer on acceptance by holders of a majority of the



<PAGE>



shares held by persons other than Fujitsu and its affiliates. The relief sought
by the plaintiffs includes an injunction against the acquisition of shares by
Fujitsu; an injunction requiring that certain steps be taken to evaluate the
value of the Company; a declaration that defendants have breached their
fiduciary and other duties; an accounting for damages; compensatory and/or
rescissionary damages; costs of suit; and attorneys' and experts' fees in
unspecified amounts. The Company believes, and understands that Fujitsu
believes, that all of these suits are without merit and intends to vigorously
defend such suits.

On May 5, 1997 a jury rendered a verdict in favor of one of the
Company's suppliers in the amount of $3.8 million as a result of
a lawsuit arising out of a contract dispute.  The Company was
also liable for interest and attorneys' fees but was entitled to a credit for
equipment returned by the Company and either resold or utilized by the supplier
for other purposes. Pursuant to a settlement and release agreement, the Company
made a final payment to the supplier of $4.8 million on July 22, 1997. Full
provision for the settlement and related legal costs have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share,
which will be adopted by the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997. SFAS No. 128
requires companies to compute net income per share under two different methods,
basic and diluted, and to disclose the methodology used for the calculation. If
SFAS No. 128 had been applied by the Company during the second quarter and six
months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996, basic net income per share and
diluted net income per share would not have changed from what has been reported.

In July 1997 the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, was issued and is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997. The
adoption of SFAS No. 130 is not expected to have a material
effect on the financial statements.

                       AMDAHL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's 1996
Annual Report to Stockholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second quarter and first six months of 1997 compared to second quarter and first
six months of 1996:

Total revenues increased 15% to $438,476,000 in the second quarter of 1997 from
$382,854,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and increased $131,499,000 or 19% in
the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996. Equipment
sales revenues increased 22% in the second quarter of 1997 from the second
quarter of 1996 and increased 21% in the first six months of 1997 compared to
the first six months of 1996. Equipment sales were 30% and 28% of total revenues
in the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The largest component of
second quarter 1997 equipment sales came from volume shipments of the Company's
Millennium CMOS mainframe systems, which were not yet available for sale in the
second quarter of 1996. Quarterly revenues from equipment sales of 5995M
mainframe systems decreased 77% year over year, reflecting price declines and
lower unit volumes associated with end-of-life sales of the Company's remaining
ECL technology inventories. Revenues from storage product equipment sales
increased 56% in the second quarter of 1997 when compared to the same period of
1996 due to increased volume. Equipment sales of high-performance servers
increased 26% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the same quarter a year
ago, reflecting the increased volume of high-performance servers acquired under
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) arrangements with Sun Microsystems.

Service,  software and other revenues were 70% and 72% of total revenues in
the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Service, software and other
revenues  increased 12% in the second quarter of 1997 from the second quarter of
1996 and 18% in the first six  months of 1997 from the first six months of 1996.
The increases  resulted from growth in the consulting and professional  services
business,  partially offset by decreases in hardware maintenance revenues.  Part
of the growth for the first six months of 1997  compared  to the same  period in
1996 reflects the effect of the  acquisition of Trecom  Business  Systems,  Inc.
(Trecom), which was purchased in April 1996.

<PAGE>




Total gross margin was 24% of revenues in the second quarter of 1997 compared to
a negative 20% in the second quarter of 1996, and 25% of revenues in the first
six months of 1997 compared to a negative 1% in the first six months of 1996.
The improvement in overall gross margin was driven by significant improvement in
equipment sales gross margins from year to year. Gross margin on equipment sales
increased to 38% in the second quarter of 1997 from a negative 137% in the
second quarter of 1996, in large part because equipment gross margin in the
second quarter of 1996 included a charge of $130 million to reduce end-of-life
5995M assets to market value. Without the $130 million charge, the gross margin
from equipment sales for the second quarter and first six months of 1996 would
have been a negative 15% and a negative 4%, respectively. The additional
increase from 1996 to 1997 reflects higher gross margins from the Company's
Millennium systems, which comprised the majority of S/390 compatible mainframe
sales in 1997, compared with the older 5995M systems which dominated equipment
sales in the first half of 1996.

The gross margin on service, software and other revenues decreased to 19% in the
second quarter of 1997 from 25% in the second quarter of 1996 and decreased to
20% in the first six months of 1997 from 27% in the first six months of 1996.
The decreases reflect the combination of a shift to professional services, which
generate lower gross margins as a percentage of sales than maintenance services,
and negative effects on the hardware maintenance business from competitive
pricing pressures and a decline in the installed base of older generations of
mainframes.

In the second quarter of 1996 the Company recorded a charge to operating
expenses of $20.7 million to write off purchased in- process engineering and
development that had no probable alternative future uses associated with the
acquisition of Trecom. Excluding this charge, the second quarter 1997
engineering and development expenses decreased $8 million or 25% when compared
to the second quarter of 1996. This decrease is due to increased engineering and
development funding by Fujitsu plus reductions in the Company's workforce and
facilities to levels more appropriate to current business requirements. These
reductions also contributed to the decrease in second quarter 1997 marketing,
general and administrative expenses of $23 million or 22% when compared to the
second quarter of 1996.

Net interest income decreased $3 million in the second quarter of 1997 from the
second quarter of 1996 due primarily to a reduction in short-term investments,
reflecting the remaining payment of $65 million for the acquisition of Trecom in
April 1997.

The effective income tax rate was 49% in the second quarter of 1997, compared to
a negative 9% in the second quarter of 1996.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

The following factors that may affect future operating results are supplemental
to, and should be read in conjunction with, the factors discussed in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the Company's 1996 Annual Report
to Stockholders.

Sales of the Company's Millennium mainframes remain subject to strong
competitive pricing pressures. The ability of the Company to increase shipment
volumes of the systems is being adversely
affected by the availability of more powerful competing IBM CMOS systems in
advance of the Company's introduction of its next generation of mainframes
currently expected to occur in the first quarter of 1998. In addition, the terms
of sale of existing Millennium systems may permit the customer to migrate to the
Company's more powerful systems when they become available, which in certain
cases requires the Company to defer recognizing a portion of current revenues
until a future date. A continuation of the above factors would adversely affect
the Company's earnings over the next several quarters. Moreover, a failure by
Fujitsu to continue funding certain expenses associated with joint engineering
and development activities beyond its current contractual commitments would have
a material adverse effect on the Company.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
June 27, 1997 Compared to December 27, 1996

The Company's net cash position (cash, restricted cash and short-term
investments net of short-term and long-term debt, excluding capitalized lease
obligations) decreased by $90 million from December 27, 1996 to June 27, 1997.
The decrease is due primarily to the payment of the remaining purchase price of
Trecom of $65 million on April 22, 1997. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash
and short-term investments decreased $92 million. Receivables decreased $73
million, reflecting lower quarterly revenues.

Inventories decreased $40 million, due to lower manufacturing costs of
Millennium mainframe systems and the capitalization of certain inventory into
property, plant and equipment of $20 million.


LIQUIDITY

The nature of the computer industry, combined with the current economic
environment, make it very difficult for the Company to predict future liquidity
requirements with certainty. However, the Company believes that existing cash
and short-term investments will be adequate to finance continuing operations,
investments in property and equipment, inventories and spare



<PAGE>



parts, expenditures for the development of new products, and repayment of
outstanding debt at least through 1997. Over the longer term, Amdahl must
successfully execute its plans to generate significant positive cash flows if it
is to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth or requiring the
infusion of additional funds, either from external sources of cash or from the
sale of business assets.
