INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY

General

Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC or the Company) is one of the world leaders in the information technology (IT) and professional services industry. Since it was founded 50 years ago in 1959, the Company has helped clients use IT more efficiently in order to improve their operations and profitability, achieve business results and focus on core competencies.

CSC offers a broad array of services to clients in the commercial and government markets and specializes in the application of complex IT to achieve its customers’ strategic objectives. Its service offerings include information technology and business process outsourcing, and IT and professional services.

Outsourcing involves operating all or a portion of a customer’s technology infrastructure, including systems analysis, applications development, network operations, desktop computing and data center management. CSC also provides business process outsourcing, managing key functions for clients, such as procurement and supply chain, call centers and customer relationship management, credit services, claims processing and logistics.

IT and professional services include systems integration, consulting and other professional services. Systems integration encompasses designing, developing, implementing and integrating complete information systems. Consulting and professional services includes advising clients on the strategic acquisition and utilization of IT and on business strategy, security, modeling, simulation, engineering, operations, change management and business process reengineering.

The Company also licenses sophisticated software systems for the financial services and other industry-specific markets and provides a broad array of end-to-end business solutions that meet the needs of large commercial and government clients. The Company focuses on delivering results by combining business innovation skills with seasoned delivery expertise to provide flexible and scalable solutions. To do so, CSC draws on its vast experience in designing, building and maintaining large, complex, mission-critical systems and applies this knowledge to today’s business challenges.

CSC does not have exclusive agreements with hardware or software providers and believes this vendor neutrality enables it to better identify and manage solutions specifically tailored to each client’s needs.

Major Markets

CSC provides its services to clients in domestic and international commercial industries and to the U.S. federal, state, and foreign governments. Segment and geographic information are included in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 3, 2009.

The Company provides services within three broad service lines: Business Solutions and Services (BS&S), Global Outsourcing Services (GOS) and North American Public Sector (NPS). The BS&S line of business includes the BS&S − Consulting, BS&S − Financial Services Sector and BS&S − Other reportable segments. The BS&S − Other segment includes the Company’s BS&S operations in Asia, Australia and India.

The Business Solutions and Services line of business provides consulting and systems integration services through the BS&S − Consulting and BS&S − Other segments and business process outsourcing and software and software maintenance services through the BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment. In addition, the BS&S − Other segment provides professional technology staffing services in Australia and computer equipment repair and maintenance services in Asia. The BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment also provides credit reporting services in the United States.

The Company’s GOS line of business provides information systems outsourcing services to clients in a broad array of industries including aerospace and defense, automotive, chemical and natural resources, consumer goods, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail and distribution, telecommunications, and technology.

The Company’s NPS line of business, providing IT services to the U.S. federal government since 1961, is a leading federal contractor and is one of its major IT service providers. CSC serves a broad federal customer base, including most civil departments and branches of the military, as well as the Department of Homeland Security. The Company provides a broad spectrum of services to the U.S. federal government, ranging from traditional systems integration and outsourcing to complex project management and technical services. Key offerings include enterprise modernization, telecommunications and networking, managed services, base and range operations, and training and simulation.

Geographically, CSC has major operations throughout North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, including India.

During the last three fiscal years, the Company’s revenue mix by line of business was as follows:

	2009			2008			2007
BS&S – Consulting		12	%		11	%		11	%

Fiscal 2009 Overview

During fiscal 2009, CSC announced awards valued at approximately $16.2 billion, including $4.4 billion in BS&S segment awards, $4.5 billion of GOS awards and $7.3 billion of awards with NPS. The Company changed its methodology for determining the announced value for certain awards. For NPS, announced values for indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) awards represent the expected contract value at the time a task order is awarded under the contract. The bookings value of GOS announced awards is estimated at the time of contract signing and includes optional contract years. New contract bookings are recorded using then existing projections of service volumes and then existing currency exchange rates, and are not subsequently adjusted for volume or currency fluctuations. The announced values for BS&S line of business awards are based on firm commitments.

On December 1, 2008, Mr. Michael J. Mancuso, age 66, was appointed to the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Project Accelerate

During fiscal 2009 the Company continued to implement fiscal 2008’s comprehensive growth strategy, Project Accelerate. Project Accelerate has five key growth initiatives:

Providing industry-specific offerings including business solutions, consulting services and business process outsourcing services for the Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Public Sector, Chemical, Energy & Natural Resources and Technology and Consumer Products industries. In support of this initiative, the Company acquired First Consulting Group during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 expanding its offerings to the Healthcare industry.

Growing and utilizing offshore capabilities, particularly in India. As part of this initiative the Company acquired Covansys Corporation (Covansys) during fiscal 2008. Covansys provides the Company with the capability to sell low cost offshore solutions directly to existing and potential clients. The Company has consolidated its existing operations in India with those acquired from Covansys. The Company’s acquisition of First Consulting Group provided additional resources in India as well as operational capabilities in Vietnam.

3.	Further expanding the Company’s ability to provide business solutions, consulting services and business process outsourcing services internationally. To this end the Company has focused on expanding its capabilities in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe.

Enhancing the Company’s ability to deliver outsourcing services to its clients throughout their global organizations on a consistent basis and provide the full range of the Company’s technical service offerings to its outsourcing clients. The Company has expanded its offerings and its marketing and sales efforts for mid-size outsourcing deals.

5.	Strengthening the service offerings to the public sector and continuing to improve the Company’s ability to effectively compete for contracts with the U.S. federal government.

The global economy weakened throughout fiscal 2009, which has resulted in a softening in demand for IT discretionary spending. Some companies, including some of the Company’s customers, have encountered severe financial difficulty, which could ultimately result in their bankruptcy, which, in turn, may have an impact on the financial condition of the Company. Therefore, the Company continues to closely monitor client demand in order to appropriately respond to changing environments. The response of professional and IT service providers, including CSC, has been to exercise cost discipline, with careful management of headcount and other resources.

In fiscal 2010, CSC’s business results of operations and financial condition may be negatively affected by the various global markets, the global credit crisis, or client budget constraints. The current economic environment increases the pressure on both businesses and governments around the world to adapt.

The economy could impact the credit quality of the receivables portfolio and, therefore, the level of provision for bad debts. CSC continues to review credit policies in both the origination of new business and the evaluation of existing projects.

Contract terminations, cancellations or delays could result from factors that are beyond our control and may be unrelated to our work product, the progress of the project, including the business, financial conditions of the client, changes in ownership, management at our clients, changes in client strategies, the economy or markets generally. When contracts are terminated, we lose the anticipated revenues and might not be able to eliminate associated costs in a timely manner or we may have to impair contract assets. Consequently, our profit margins in subsequent periods could be lower than expected.

Currency fluctuations will continue to have an effect on both revenue and profit. The company’s hedging program, however, attempts to mitigate some balance sheet risk, global economic risk, as well as margin erosion.

Acquisitions

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, CSC acquired two separate privately held entities for approximately $37.5 million cash, plus additional consideration of up to $19 million contingent on achievement of agreed revenue targets for calendar years 2009 and 2010. When the contingency is resolved and consideration is distributable, the Company will record the fair value of the consideration as an additional cost of the acquisitions. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations have been included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisitions was allocated to the net assets acquired based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Based on fair values, $25.9 million has been allocated to goodwill and $8.2 million was allocated to identifiable intangible assets, which are primarily customer related intangibles (estimated useful life of five – six years). The pro forma impact on net income and earnings per share for the acquisitions has not been disclosed for the current or comparable prior periods, as the acquisitions are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate to the financial statements as a whole.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company finalized a scheme of arrangement to acquire the 49.9% of Computer Systems Advisers (M) Berhad (CSAM) not owned by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, CSA Holding, Ltd. The arrangement allows for better integration of similar business between CSAM and CSC’s other operations. The purchase price of the remaining interest was approximately $63 million USD. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, and accordingly, 100% of CSAM’s results of operations have been included with the Company from the date of acquisition, May 28, 2008. Revenue from the acquired interest has been reflected in the consolidated statements of income given the Company’s previous majority ownership. The Company’s purchase of the remaining interest of CSAM resulted in approximately $18.7 million allocated to goodwill during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The pro forma impact on net income and earnings per share has not been disclosed for the current or comparable prior periods, as the amounts were immaterial to the financial statements as a whole.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 the Company acquired First Consulting Group for approximately $275 million net of cash acquired. The acquisition of First Consulting Group enhances the Company’s Healthcare industry offerings as well as expands the Company’s offshore capabilities in India and Vietnam.

On July 2, 2007, the Company acquired Covansys, a publicly held U.S. global consulting and technology service company for approximately $1.3 billion net of acquired cash. The acquisition of Covansys Corporation has increased the Company’s delivery capabilities in India and expanded the Company’s offshore service offerings.

For further discussion of these acquisitions, please see Note 2 –Acquisitions.

Competition

The IT and professional services markets in which CSC competes are not dominated by a single company or a small number of companies. A substantial number of companies offer services that overlap and are competitive with those offered by the Company. Some of these are large industrial firms, including computer manufacturers and major aerospace firms that may have greater financial resources than CSC and, in some cases, may have greater capacity to perform services similar to those provided by the Company. In addition, the increased importance of offshore labor centers has brought a number of foreign-based firms into competition with CSC. Offshore IT outsourcers selling directly to end-users have captured an increasing share of awards as they compete directly with U.S. domestic suppliers of these services. The Company’s fiscal 2008 acquisition of Covansys, an offshore-direct supplier of IT services, has helped mitigate this somewhat.

CSC’s ability to obtain business is dependent upon its ability to offer better strategic concepts and technical solutions, better value, a quicker response, more flexibility or a combination of these factors. In the opinion of the Company’s management, CSC’s lines of business are positioned to compete effectively in the Business Solutions and Services, Global Outsourcing Services and NPS markets based on its technology and systems expertise and large project management skills. It is also management’s opinion that CSC’s competitive position is enhanced by the full spectrum of IT and professional services it provides, from consulting to software and systems design, implementation and integration, to information technology and business process outsourcing to technical services, delivered to a broad commercial and government customer base.

EMPLOYEES

The Company has offices worldwide, and as of April 3, 2009, employed approximately 92,000 persons. The services provided by CSC require proficiency in many fields, such as computer sciences, programming, telecommunications networks, mathematics, physics, engineering, astronomy, geology, operations, research, economics, statistics and business administration.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future financial performance. Future performance and historical trends may be adversely affected by the following factors, as well as other variables, and should not be relied upon to project future period results.

1.	Our business may be adversely impacted as a result of changes in demand, both globally and in individual market segments, for information technology outsourcing, business process outsourcing and consulting and systems integration services.

Economic and political uncertainty may adversely impact our customers’ demand for our services. A general economic downturn, such as the current worldwide economic dislocation, has and may continue to adversely affect our customers’ demand for consulting and systems integration services. Our NPS segment generated approximately 36% of our revenue for fiscal 2009. While the pipeline for government projects continues to be generally less affected by economic downturns, the U.S. budget deficit, the cost of rebuilding infrastructure as a result of natural disasters, the cost of reconstruction in Iraq, the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the financial industry liquidity crisis may reduce the U.S. federal government’s demand and available funds for information technology projects, adversely impacting our NPS segment and our business.

Our ability to continue to develop and expand our service offerings to address emerging business demands and technological trends will impact our future growth. If we are not successful in meeting these business challenges, our results of operations and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected.

Our ability to implement solutions for our customers incorporating new developments and improvements in technology which translate into productivity improvements for our customers and to develop service offerings that meet the current and prospective customers’ needs are critical to our success. The markets we serve are highly competitive. Our competitors may develop solutions or services which make our offerings obsolete. Our ability to develop and implement up to date solutions utilizing new technologies which meet evolving customer needs in consulting and systems integration and technology outsourcing markets will impact our future revenue growth and earnings.

3.	Our primary markets, technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration, are highly competitive markets. If we are unable to compete in these highly competitive markets, our results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Our competitors include large, technically competent and well capitalized companies. As a result, the markets which we serve are highly competitive. This competition may place downward pressure on operating margins in our industry, particularly for technology outsourcing contract extensions or renewals. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current operating margins for technology outsourcing contracts, extended or renewed in the future.

Any reductions in margins will require that we effectively manage our cost structure. If we fail to effectively manage our cost structure during periods with declining margins, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

4.	Our ability to raise additional capital for future needs will impact our ability to compete in the markets we serve.

We may require additional capital to purchase assets, complete strategic acquisitions, repurchase shares on the open market or for general liquidity needs. Declines in our credit rating or limits on our ability to sell additional shares may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital at a reasonable cost and may adversely impact our revenue growth and the price of our stock.

5.	Our ability to consummate and integrate acquisitions may materially and adversely affect our profitability if we fail to achieve anticipated revenue improvements and cost reductions.

Our ability to successfully integrate the operations we acquire and leverage these operations to generate revenue and earnings growth will significantly impact future revenue and earnings as well as investor returns. Integrating acquired operations is a significant challenge and there is no assurance that the company will be able to manage the integrations successfully. Failure to successfully integrate acquired operations may adversely affect our cost structure thereby reducing our margins and return on investment.

6.	We could suffer losses due to asset impairment charges.

We test our goodwill for impairment during the second quarter every year, and on an interim date should events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” If the fair value of a reporting unit is revised downward due to declines in business performance or other factors, impairment under SFAS 142 could result and a non-cash charge could be required. This could materially affect our reported net earnings.

7.	Our customers may experience financial difficulties and we may not be able to collect our receivables, materially and adversely affecting our profitability.

Over the course of a long-term contract, our customers’ financial fortunes may change affecting their ability to pay their obligations and our ability to collect our fees for services rendered. Additionally, we may perform work for the federal government, for which we must file requests for equitable adjustment or claims with the proper agency to seek recovery in whole or in part for out-of-scope work directed or caused by the customers in support of their critical missions. While we may resort to other methods to pursue our claims or collect our receivables, these methods are expensive and time consuming and success is not guaranteed. Failure to collect our receivables or prevail on our claims would have an adverse affect on our profitability.

8.	If we are unable to accurately estimate the cost of services and the timeline for completion of contracts, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected.

Our commercial and federal government contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis. Our bids are based upon, among other items, the cost to provide the services. To generate an acceptable return on our investment in these contracts we must be able to accurately estimate our costs to provide the services required by the contract and to be able to complete the contracts in a timely manner. If we fail to accurately estimate our costs or the time required to complete a contract, the profitability of our contracts may be materially and adversely affected.

9.	We are defendants in pending litigation which may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability.

As noted in Item 3, Legal Proceedings, we are currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of these disputes or the actual impact of these matters on our profitability. If we agree to settle these matters or judgments are secured against us, we will incur charges which may have a material and adverse impact on our liquidity and earnings.

We are engaged in providing services under contracts with the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. government investigations of us, whether related to the Company’s federal government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting.

10.	Our ability to provide our customers with competitive services is dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Our ability to grow and provide our customers with competitive services is partially dependent on our ability to attract and retain highly motivated people with the skills to serve our customers. As we noted above, the markets we serve are highly competitive and competition for skilled employees in the technology outsourcing and consulting and systems integration markets is intense for both on-shore and offshore locales.

In addition, services for some government clients require personnel with security clearances. Qualified personnel with security clearances are in very high demand.

11.	Our international operations are exposed to risks, including fluctuations in exchange rates, which may be beyond our control.

For fiscal 2009, approximately 38% of recognized revenues were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, we are exposed to various risks associated with operating in multiple countries including exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. While this risk is partially mitigated by largely matching costs with revenues in a given currency, our exposure to fluctuations in other currencies against the U.S. dollar increases as revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar increase and as more of the services we provide are shifted to lower cost regions of the world. We believe that the percentage of our revenue denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar will continue to represent a significant portion of our revenue. Also, we believe that some of our ability to match revenue and expenses in a given currency will decrease as more work is performed at offshore locations.

We operate in approximately 80 countries and our operations in these countries are subject to the local legal and political environments. Our operations are subject to, among other things, employment, taxation, statutory reporting, trade restrictions and other regulations. In spite of our best efforts, we may not be in compliance with all regulations around the world and may be subject to penalties and/or fines as a result. These penalties or fines may materially and adversely impact our profitability.

12.

Our ability to compete in certain markets we serve is dependent on our ability to continue to expand our capacity in certain offshore locations. However, as our presence in these locations increases, we are exposed to risks inherent to these locations which may adversely impact our revenue and profitability.

A significant portion of our application outsourcing and software development activities have been shifted to India and we plan to continue to expand our presence there. As such, we are exposed to the risks inherent to operating in India including (1) a highly competitive labor market for skilled workers which may result in significant increases in labor costs as well as shortages of qualified workers in the future, (2) the tax holiday granted by certain tax jurisdictions in India to the Company, which currently extends through 2010, may not be extended or may be revoked resulting in an increase in income tax expense, (3) the possibility that the U.S. federal government or the European Union may enact legislation which may provide significant disincentives to customers to offshore certain of their operations which would reduce the demand for the services we provide in India and may adversely impact our cost structure and profitability.

13.	In the course of providing services to customers, we may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of others and be exposed to claims for damages.

The solutions we provide to our customers may inadvertently infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties resulting in claims for damages against us or our customers. Our contracts generally indemnify our clients from claims for intellectual property infringement for the services and equipment we provide under our contracts. The expense and time of defending against these claims may have a material and adverse impact on our profitability. Additionally, the publicity we may receive as a result of infringing intellectual property rights may damage our reputation and adversely impact our ability to develop new business.

14.	Generally our contracts contain provisions under which a customer may terminate the contract prior to completion. Early contract terminations may materially and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Our contracts contain provisions by which customers may terminate the contract prior to completion of the term of the contract. These contracts generally allow the customer to terminate the contract for convenience upon providing written notice. In these cases, we seek, either by defined contract schedules or through negotiations, recovery of our property, plant, equipment, outsourcing costs, investments, and other intangibles. There is no assurance we will be able to fully recover our investments.

We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from these contracts in the short-term. In the long-term, our reputation may be harmed by the publicity generated from contract terminations.

15.	We may be exposed to negative publicity and other potential risks if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls.

We are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to provide a report from management to our shareholders on our internal control over financial reporting including an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls to provide reasonable assurance a material misstatement will not occur in our financial statements. The failure of our controls to provide reasonable assurance that a material misstatement does not exist or to detect a material misstatement may cause us to be unable to meet our filing requirements and the resulting negative publicity may adversely affect our business, and our stock price may be materially and adversely affected.

16.	Our largest customer, the U.S. federal government, accounts for a significant portion of our revenue and earnings. Inherent in the government contracting process are various risks which may materially and adversely affect our business and profitability.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from contracts with the U.S. federal government. As a result, our exposure to the risks inherent in the government contracting process is material. These risks include government audits of billable contract costs and reimbursable expenses, project funding and requests for equitable adjustment, compliance with government reporting requirements as well as the consequences if improper or illegal activities are discovered.

If any of these should occur, our reputation may be adversely impacted and our relationship with the government agencies we work with may be damaged, resulting in a material and adverse effect on our profitability.

17.	Our performance on contracts on which we have partnered with third parties may be adversely affected if the third parties fail to deliver on their commitments.

Our contracts are increasingly complex and require that we partner with other parties including software and hardware vendors to provide the complex solutions required by our customers. Our ability to deliver the solution and provide the services required by our customers is dependent on the ability of our partners to meet their delivery schedules. If our partners fail to deliver their services or products on time, our ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected which may have a material and adverse impact on our revenue and profitability.

If we are the primary contractor and our partners fail to perform as agreed, we may be liable to our customers for penalties or lost profits. These penalties or payments for lost profits may have a material and adverse effect on our profitability.

18.	Our inability to protect client information could impair our reputation, and we could suffer significant financial loss.

As one of the larger companies in the IT and professional services industry, we are subject to potentially adverse impacts if sensitive client information is unintentionally lost, stolen, or compromised. We are responsible for substantial amounts of sensitive client information which often includes confidential, private, and financial records. Failure to protect our clients could result in reparation costs and loss of business that may negatively impact our reputation and earnings.

19.	Changes in the Company’s tax rates could affect its future results.

The Company’s future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws or their interpretation. The Company is subject to the continuous examination of its income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.

The recently proposed Obama administration international tax provisions may adversely affect our results. The Company has significant operations overseas, especially in India, and the new proposals may adversely affect our costs and margins. Also, some of these proposals may cause our financial services segment to be less globally competitive as tax rates would increase costs of doing business globally.

20.	We may be adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets, including reduced access to credit and higher costs of obtaining credit.

Given the recent volatility of the credit markets, it is not possible to predict when credit conditions will ease and short term financing will become more readily available. Continued uncertainty in the global economic conditions and the liquidity crisis also pose a risk to the Company’s business as customers and suppliers may be unable to obtain financing to meet payment or delivery obligations to the Company. In addition, customers may decide to downsize, defer or cancel contracts which could negatively affect revenue.

21.	Our foreign currency hedging program is subject to counterparty default risk.

The Company enters into numerous types of financing arrangements with a wide array of counterparties related to foreign currency forward contracts and purchased options. As of April 3, 2009, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $951.2 million. The terms of these contracts are often customized and complex. As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that the counterparty to one or more of these contracts defaults, either voluntarily or involuntarily, on its performance under the contract. During this current global economic downturn, the counterparty’s financial condition may deteriorate rapidly and with little notice and we may be unable to take action to protect our exposure. In the event of a counterparty default, we could incur significant losses, which may harm our business and financial condition. In the event that one or more of our counterparties becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover any losses suffered as a result of that counterparty’s default may be limited by the liquidity of the counterparty.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

In the course of business, discrepancies or claims may arise as to the use or reliability of various software products provided by the Company for its customers. On February 7, 2005, the Company was named, along with other vendors to the insurance industry and dozens of insurance companies in Hensley, et al. vs. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al., filed as a putative nationwide class action in state court in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Arkansas, shortly before President Bush signed the Class Action Fairness Act into law. The plaintiffs allege the defendants conspired to wrongfully use software products licensed by the Company and the other software vendors to reduce the amount paid to the licensees' insured for bodily injury claims. Plaintiffs also allege wrongful concealment of the manner in which these software programs evaluate claims and wrongful concealment of information about alleged inherent errors and flaws in the software. Plaintiffs seek injunctive and monetary relief of less than $75,000 for each class member, as well as attorney's fees and costs. The Company is vigorously defending itself against the allegations. On June 11, 2008, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion to sever certain defendants, including the Company, from the Hensley litigation. As a result, the Company continues as a defendant in the Hensley litigation and is also now a defendant in a separate putative class action pending in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Arkansas (styled Basham, et al. vs. Computer Sciences Corporation, et al.), along with certain insurance companies previously named as defendants in the Hensley litigation. During the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009 the Company, along with certain other defendants in the Hensley and Basham litigation, engaged in settlement discussions with legal counsel representing the putative class members through mediation proceedings facilitated by an independent mediator. In February 2009, the Company and the class representatives in the Hensley and Basham litigation agreed to a settlement of the pending litigation and the parties have obtained preliminary approval of the settlement from the court. The parties are in the process of sending class notice in advance of a final approval hearing currently scheduled in August 2009. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed to certain injunctive relief, primarily involving the publication of information regarding the use of the Company’s software by its licensees in adjusting bodily injury claims, and to the payment of legal fees to legal counsel representing the classes in the litigation. The Company’s net payment obligation in the settlement is not material to the Company’s financial condition nor will the settlement have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

CSC is engaged in providing services under contracts with the U.S. government. The contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether the Company's operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. government investigations of the Company, whether related to the Company's federal government contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Company, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. government contracting. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for any losses which may be experienced from these investigations.

In accordance with prescribed federal regulations, the Company converted 16 submitted Requests for Equitable Adjustment (REAs) to interest bearing claims under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) totaling approximately $900 million on two U.S. federal contracts in order to initiate the claims litigation process and trigger the statutory interest provision of the CDA. Included in current assets on the Company's balance sheet are approximately $445 million ($414 million of which is subject to the claims) of unbilled receivables and $386 million of deferred costs related to the claims associated with the two contracts. The Company does not record any profit element when it defers costs associated with such REAs/claims. CSC has requested payment for customer-caused delays and certain related out-of-scope work directed or caused by the customers in support of their critical missions. Notwithstanding the government’s breaches and delays, CSC was obligated under applicable federal acquisition law to continue performance as directed by the government; otherwise, refusal to perform would have placed CSC at risk for a termination for default under the applicable provisions of the federal Acquisition Regulation. The Company believes it has valid bases for pursuing recovery of these REAs/claims supported by outside counsel’s evaluation of the facts and assistance in the preparation of the claims. The Company remains committed to vigorous pursuit of its claimed entitlements and associated value, and continues to believe based on review of applicable law and other considerations that recovery of at least its net balance sheet position is probable. However, the Company’s position is subject to the ongoing evaluation of new facts and information which may come to the Company’s attention during the discovery phase of the litigation.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the U.S. federal contracting officer for the contract with the larger set of claims denied the claims and issued a $42.3 million counterclaim. The Company disagrees with the government’s denials both factually and contractually. In contrast to the Company’s claims’ submission, the government’s counter-claim was submitted with no verifiable evidence, no citation to any supporting evidence and no explanation of its method for calculating value. Because of these disputes, the Company initiated litigation at the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA), one of the two forums available for litigation of CDA claims, on September 11, 2007, with regard to the larger of the two sets of claims and the counterclaim. Decisions of the ASBCA may be appealed to the Court of Appeals for the federal Circuit and that court’s ruling may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company and its litigation team undertook a standard review of the value of the claims associated with this contract. Value is subject to periodic, routine adjustment as new facts are uncovered, because of contract modifications and funding changes, ordinary rate adjustments, and/or estimated cost data being replaced with actual costs. On December 21, 2007, as a result of the review, the Company amended the complaint it filed with the ASBCA on September 11, 2007, and adjusted its value downward, with such reduction reflected in the approximately $900 million total value for both sets of claims noted above. This adjustment is solely due to the amount of damages claimed and does not affect the amounts recorded in the Company’s balance sheet. The discovery phase of this litigation began in the first half of fiscal year 2009. Discovery in the litigation will continue through fiscal year 2010 and trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011. With respect to the second set of claims, the government issued its denial on November 15, 2007. As with the larger set of claims, the Company disagrees with the government’s denial both factually and contractually and initiated litigation at the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals on February 12, 2008. The discovery phase of this litigation has been delayed and is expected to begin during the first half of fiscal year 2010 and could continue for a year or more.

Interest on the claims is accruing but will only be recognized in the financial statements when paid. Resolution of the REA claims/amounts depends on individual circumstances, negotiations by the parties and prosecution of the claims. The Company will pursue appeals as necessary and is unable to predict the timing of resolution of recovery of these claims; however, resolution of the claims may take years.

Several shareholders of the Company have made demands on the Board of Directors of the Company or filed purported derivative actions against both the Company, as nominal defendant, as well as certain of CSC's executive officers and directors. These actions generally allege that certain of the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Company by purportedly “backdating” stock options granted to CSC executives, improperly recording and accounting for allegedly backdated stock options, producing and disseminating disclosures that improperly recorded and accounted for the allegedly backdated options, engaging in acts of corporate waste, and committing violations of insider trading laws. They allege that certain of the defendants were unjustly enriched and seek to require them to disgorge their profits. These actions have been filed in both federal and state court in Los Angeles as follows.

On June 1, 2006, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court naming CSC as a nominal defendant and various current and former CSC officers and directors as individual defendants. The complaint was titled Allbright v. Bailey et al., Case No. BC353316, and alleged the backdating of stock option grants to various senior executives at CSC. Thereafter, two additional related shareholder derivative complaints were filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jones v. Bailey et al., Case No. BC354686, and Laborers' International Union v. Bailey et al., Case No. BC356675. The Laborers' action was subsequently voluntarily dismissed without prejudice, and in September 2006 Jones was consolidated with Allbright. In July 2008, following a dismissal based on failure to adequately allege that a pre-suit "demand" on the Board was excused and a subsequent amended complaint, Superior Court Judge Carl West sustained a second demurrer based on demand pleadings and dismissed the consolidated case with prejudice. The statutory time for filing a notice of appeal has passed and plaintiffs in the state court case have not appealed the court’s granting of the Company’s demurrer and dismissal.

On August 23, 2006, Laborers' International Union v. Bailey, et al., CV 06-5288, a shareholder derivative action, was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. This complaint made similar allegations of backdating of stock option grants to various senior executives at CSC and named CSC as a nominal defendant and various current and former directors and officers as individual defendants. On August 25, 2006, another derivative suit containing nearly identical allegations was filed in the same court, entitled Local Union and District Council v. Bailey, et al., CV 06-5356. The derivative complaints brought state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims, as well as a federal securities claim. A third derivative complaint, Huffman v. Honeycutt, et al., CV 06-6512, filed in the same court, also brought state and federal claims based on backdating allegations. All three federal derivative actions were ultimately consolidated into one action entitled In re CSC Shareholder Derivative Litigation, CV 06-5288, before U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer. On July 24, 2007, following the grant of an initial motion to dismiss and a subsequent amended complaint, Judge Pfaelzer granted a second motion to dismiss based on demand futility and dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice. Following an ex parte application by defendants, Judge Pfaelzer issued a corrected order dated August 9, 2007, reflecting the same ruling. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit and the Ninth Circuit then affirmed the judgment of dismissal. The time to seek further review of that decision has lapsed and the judgment is now final.

On September 24, 2007, a stockholder made a demand to the Board of Directors to cause the Company to pursue claims against certain individuals, including current and former officers and directors of CSC, with respect to alleged stock option backdating. Action on this demand was delayed until the decision of the Ninth Circuit in the foregoing federal derivative case became final. On March 2, 2009, the stockholder made a renewed demand to the Board. On May 20, 2009, the Board formed a special committee comprised solely of independent directors not named in the stockholder demand to investigate and review the demand and recommend to the Board how to respond thereto.

The Company and certain directors and other individuals have also been sued in a class action proceeding alleging violations of the ERISA statute related to claims of alleged backdating of stock options. On August 15, 2006, a federal ERISA class action involving allegations of backdating at CSC was filed in U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York, entitled Quan, et al. v. CSC, et al., CV 06-3927. On September 21, 2006, a related ERISA class action was filed in the same court, entitled Gray, et al. v. CSC, et al., CV 06-5100. The complaints named as defendants CSC, the CSC Retirement and Employee Benefits Plans Committee, and various directors and officers, and alleged various violations of the ERISA statute. The two ERISA actions have been consolidated and, on February 28, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended ERISA class action complaint. On January 8, 2008, the district court granted a motion to transfer the consolidated cases to the federal district court in Los Angeles, California. Upon arrival in the Central District of California, the two cases were consolidated before U.S. District Judge James Otero in Case No. CV 08-2398-SJO. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss and plaintiffs filed their memorandum in opposition to the motion. Plaintiffs also filed a motion for class certification, and Defendants filed their memorandum in opposition to the motion on August 11, 2008. On September 2, 2008, Judge Otero issued orders denying defendants’ motion to dismiss, and also denying plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Defendants have since answered the complaint and discovery is currently proceeding. On November 13, 2008, plaintiffs filed a new motion for class certification and the defendants filed a memorandum in opposition on December 8, 2008. On December 29, 2008, Judge Otero granted plaintiffs motion for class certification. On January 13, 2009, defendants filed a petition with the Ninth Circuit pursuant to Rule 23(f) of the federal Rules, requesting that the court of appeals accept their appeal from the order granting class certification. Plaintiffs filed their opposition on January 23, 2009. The Ninth Circuit denied defendants’ request for permission to appeal on March 12, 2009. Each of the defendants and the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment in district court on May 4, 2009. Reply briefs were filed on May 22, 2009. A decision is expected in late June 2009. At this time it is not possible to make reliable estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from any of these actions.

In addition to the matters noted above, the Company is currently party to a number of disputes which involve or may involve litigation. The Company consults with legal counsel on those issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to such matters in the ordinary course of business. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from such matters could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages (if any) and the structure and type of any such remedies. For these reasons, it is not possible to make reliable estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from these other matters at this time. Company management does not, however, presently expect any of such other matters to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of the matters discussed above. It is possible that the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows could be affected by the resolution of this matter. Whether any losses, damages or remedies ultimately resulting from this proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including, for example, the timing and amount of such losses or damages, if any, and the structure and type of any such remedies. Depending on the ultimate resolution of these matters, some may be material to the Company's operating results for a particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, although such a material unfavorable result is not presently expected, and all other litigation, in the aggregate, is not expected to result in a material adverse impact to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the consolidated results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and associated notes for the year ended April 3, 2009.

There are three primary objectives of this discussion:

Provide a narrative explanation of the consolidated financial statements, as presented through the eyes of management;

Enhance the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes, providing context within which the consolidated financial statements should be analyzed; and

Provide information to assist the reader in ascertaining the predictive value of the reported financial results.

To achieve these objectives, the discussion is presented in the following sections:

Overview—includes a brief description of the business and how it earns revenue and generates cash, as well as a discussion of the economic and industry factors, key business drivers, key performance indicators, fiscal 2009 highlights, and fiscal 2010 commentary.

Results of Operations—discusses year-over-year changes to operating results for fiscal 2007 to 2009, describing the factors affecting revenue on a consolidated and reportable segment basis, including new contracts, acquisitions and currency impacts, and also by describing the factors affecting changes in the major cost and expense categories.

Financial Condition—discusses causes of changes in cash flows and describes the Company’s liquidity and available capital resources.

Critical Accounting Estimates—discusses accounting policies that require critical judgments and estimates.

OVERVIEW

The Company’s primary service offerings are IT and business process outsourcing, and IT and professional services. Outsourcing activities include operating all or a portion of a customer’s technology infrastructure and applications, and business process outsourcing. IT and professional services include systems integration, consulting and other professional services and software systems sales and related services.

Under the Company’s comprehensive growth strategy introduced in fiscal 2009, known as Project Accelerate, the Company targets the delivery of its services within three broad service lines: Business Solutions and Services (BS&S), Global Outsourcing Services (GOS) and North American Public Sector (NPS). NPS and GOS are each separate reportable segments, while BS&S consists of three reportable segments. The five segments are as follows:

North American Public Sector. The North American Public Sector segment operates principally within a regulatory environment subject to governmental contracting and accounting requirements, including Federal Acquisition Regulations, Cost Accounting Standards and audits by various U.S. federal agencies. The North American Public Sector operating segment represents a separate reportable segment.

2.	Global Outsourcing Services. The Global Outsourcing Services segment provides large-scale outsourcing solutions offerings as well as midsize services delivery to customers globally. The Global Outsourcing Services operating segment represents a separate reportable segment.

Business Solutions and Services – Consulting. In the BS&S − Consulting segment, the Company provides industry specific consulting and systems integration services, business process outsourcing, and intellectual property (IP)-based software solutions. These service offerings and clientele overlap and the Company draws on multiple operating segments within BS&S – Consulting to serve clients. These operating segments have similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and methods of operations and, as a result, are aggregated for segment reporting purposes.

4.	Business Solutions and Services – Financial Services Sector. The BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment primarily provides IP-based software solutions and business process outsourcing services to financial services companies in domestic and international markets.

Business Solutions and Services – Other. The Company’s remaining operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure and do not meet the aggregation criteria as indicated in SFAS No. 131. As a result, these operating segments are reported as “other” as indicated by SFAS No. 131. Because each of these other operating segments are within the Company’s BS&S service line, the Company has labeled this group of operating segments as BS&S − Other. The operating segments comprising BS&S − Other include the Company’s non-GOS operations in Australia and Asia and the Company’s India operations.

Economic and Industry Factors

The Company’s results of operations are affected by economic conditions generally, including macroeconomic conditions. We are monitoring current macroeconomic and credit market conditions and levels of business confidence and their potential effect on our clients and on us. A severe and/or prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect our clients’ financial condition and the levels of business activities in the industries and geographies in which we operate. This may reduce demand for our services or depress pricing of those services and have a material adverse effect on our new contract bookings and results of operations. Particularly in light of recent economic uncertainty, we continue to monitor our costs closely in order to respond to changing conditions and to manage any impact to our results of operations.

Our results of operations are also affected by levels of business activity and rates of change in the industries we serve, as well as by the pace of technological change and the type and level of technology spending by our clients. The ability to identify and capitalize on these market and technological changes early in their cycles is a key driver of our performance.

Revenues are driven by our ability to secure new contracts and to deliver solutions and services that add value to our clients. Our ability to add value to clients and therefore drive revenues depends in part on our ability to deliver market-leading service offerings and to deploy skilled teams of professionals quickly and on a global basis.

The BS&S segments and the GOS segment markets are affected by various economic and industry factors. The economic environment in the regions CSC serves will impact customers’ decisions for discretionary spending on IT projects. CSC is in a highly competitive industry which exerts downward pressure on pricing and requires companies to continually seek ways to differentiate themselves through several factors, including service offerings and flexibility. Management monitors industry factors including relative market shares, growth rates, billing rates, staff utilization rates and margins as well as macroeconomic indicators such as interest rates, inflation rates and foreign currency rates.

Outsourcing contracts are typically long-term relationships. Long-term, complex outsourcing contracts, including their consulting components, require ongoing review of the terms and scope of work, in order to meet clients’ evolving business needs and our performance expectations.

The North American Public Sector segment market is also highly competitive and has unique characteristics. All U.S. government contracts and subcontracts may be modified, curtailed or terminated at the convenience of the government if program requirements or budgetary constraints change. In the event that a contract is terminated for convenience, the Company generally is reimbursed for its allowable costs through the date of termination and is paid a proportionate amount of the stipulated profit or fee attributable to the work performed. Shifting priorities of the U.S. government can also impact the future of projects. Management monitors government priorities and industry factors through numerous industry and government publications and forecasts, legislative activity, budgeting and appropriation processes and by participating in industry professional associations.

Business Drivers

Revenue in all three lines of business is generated by providing services on a variety of contract types lasting from less than six months to 10 years or more. Factors affecting revenue include:

·	the Company’s ability to successfully bid on and win new contract awards,

·	the ability to satisfy existing customers and obtain add-on business and win contract re-competes,

·	the ability to compete on services offered, technical ability, experience and flexibility,

·	the ability to successfully identify and integrate acquisitions and leverage them to generate new revenues, and

·	currency fluctuations related to international operations.

Earnings are driven by the above revenue factors, in addition to the following:

·	the ability to control costs, particularly labor costs, subcontractor expenses and overhead costs including healthcare, pension and general and administrative costs,

·	the ability to anticipate headcount needs to avoid staff shortages or excesses,

·	the ability to accurately estimate various factors incorporated in contract bids and proposals, and

·	the ability to develop offshore capabilities and migrate compatible service offerings offshore.

Cash flows are impacted by the above earnings factors, in addition to other factors including the following:

·	timely management of receivables and payables,

·	investment opportunities available, particularly related to business acquisitions and dispositions and large outsourcing contracts, and

·	the ability to efficiently manage capital including debt and equity instruments.

Key Performance Indicators

The Company manages and assesses the performance of its business through various means, with the primary financial measures including new contract wins, revenue growth, margins, cash flow and return on investment.

New contract wins—In addition to being a primary driver of future revenue, focusing on new contract wins also provides management an assessment of the Company’s ability to compete. The total level of wins tends to fluctuate from year to year depending on the timing of new or re-competed contracts, as well as numerous external factors. CSC employs stringent financial and operational reviews and discipline in the new contract process to evaluate risks and generate appropriate margins and returns from new contracts.

Revenue growth—Year-over-year revenues tend to vary less than new contract wins, and reflect performance on both new and existing contracts. With a wide array of services offered, the Company is able to pursue additional work from existing customers. In addition, incremental increases in revenue will not necessarily result in linear increases in costs, particularly overhead and other indirect costs, thus potentially improving profit margins. Foreign currency fluctuations also impact revenue growth.

Margins—Margins reflect the Company’s performance on contracts and ability to control costs. While the ratios of various cost elements as a percentage of revenue can shift as a result of changes in the mix of businesses with different cost profiles, a focus on maintaining and improving overall margins leads to improved efficiencies and profitability. Although the majority of the Company’s costs are denominated in the same currency as revenues, increased use of offshore support also exposes CSC to additional margin fluctuations.

Cash flow—Over time the primary drivers of the Company’s cash flow are earnings provided by the Company’s operations and the use of capital to generate those earnings. Also contributing to short term cash flow results are movements in current asset and liability balances. The Company also regularly reviews the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) cash flow measurements of operating, investing and financing cash flows, as well as the non-GAAP measure free cash flow.

Return on investment (ROI)—ROI is an effective indicator combining a focus on margins with efficient and productive net asset utilization. A combination of strong margins (measuring how efficiently profit is generated from revenue) and investment base turnover (measuring how effectively revenue is generated from investors’ capital) is required to generate sufficient returns on capital. Strong working capital management also serves to minimize investment capital and increase returns.

Readers should be cautioned that Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), free cash flow and ROI are non-GAAP measures, and the Company’s definition of such measures may differ from other companies. Therefore, such measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. CSC believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as they provide another measure of the Company’s performance and ability to service its debt.

CSC calculates DSO as follows: Total accounts receivable at fiscal period end divided by revenue per day. Total accounts receivables excludes tax receivables. Revenue per day is calculated based on fiscal days in the most recent quarter.

Free cash flow is equal to the sum of (1) operating cash flows, (2) investing cash flows, excluding business acquisitions and dispositions, purchase or sale of available for sale securities, and (3) capital lease payments.

ROI is calculated by multiplying profit before interest expense, special items, and after tax expense by the investment base turnover. Investment base turnover equals revenues divided by average debt and equity for the period. The Company’s management uses ROI, DSO and free cash flow to evaluate investment returns and cash flow performance and are some of the measures used to assess management performance.

Fiscal 2009 Highlights

In fiscal 2009’s difficult economic environment, the Company delivered improved revenue, pre-tax profit, net income, earnings per share and cash flow from operations. Margins improved due to continued focus on productivity and cost management. During fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 24.3 million shares of its common stock, also contributing to improved earnings per share due to the consequent share base reduction for fiscal 2009, despite associated financing costs.

Significant events during fiscal 2009 include:

·	Revenues improved $240.4 million or 1.5%, while increasing 4.3% on a constant currency basis.

·	Net income increased 104% to $1.11 billion, reflecting significant tax benefits from resolutions and adjustments in the U.S. federal and state, as well as international tax jurisdictions.

·	Earnings per share were up 128% on a diluted basis.

·	The Company announced contract awards of $16.2 billion including new NPS segment awards of $7.3 billion, BS&S segments awards of $4.4 billion, and GOS segment awards of $4.5 billion.

·	Free cash flow of $1,020.6 million increased $845.4 million from fiscal 2008, driven by improved operating cash flows and lower capital expenditures.(1)

·	DSO was 84 days at April 3, 2009, versus 90 days at March 28, 2008.

·	Debt-to-total capitalization ratio was 43.5% at year-end, an increase of 4.6% from 38.9% in fiscal 2008 ratio.

·	ROI was 14.9% for the year, up from 9.2% in fiscal 2008, driven significantly by fiscal 2009 tax benefits.

(1)	The following is a reconciliation of free cash flow to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure:

	Fiscal Year Ended
(In millions)	April 3, 2009			March 28, 2008			March 30, 2007
Free cash flow	$	1,020.6		$	175.2		$	671.5

Net cash provided by/(used in) financing activities	$	742.1		$	997.9		$	(955.5	)

The Company’s significant wins and scope extensions during fiscal 2009 included the following:

Global Outsourcing Services:

·	Bombardier ($944 million),

·	Zurich Omni ($399 million),

·	TDC Applications ($413 million),

·	Exelon ($150 million).

North American Public Sector:

·	U.S. Air and Missile Contracts ($341 million),

·	U.S. Army ($1.5 billion),

·	U.S. Navy and NAVSEA ($570 million),

·	State of North Carolina ($265 million),

·	eMED New York ($322 million), and

·	Department of Health Services (DHS) ($475 million).

The Company changed its methodology for determining the announced value for certain awards. NPS-announced values for ID/IQ awards represent the expected contract value at the time a task order is awarded under the contract. The bookings value of GOS-announced awards are estimated at the time of contract signing based on then existing projections of service volumes and currency exchange rates and include optional contract years. The announced values for BS&S line of business awards are based on firm commitments.

The Company has developed a broad, long-term revenue base which includes customers spread across multiple industries and geographic regions as well as service lines. A significant amount of CSC’s revenues is derived from long-term contracts including information technology outsourcing, build and maintain engagements and U.S. federal government engagements. This provides the Company with a base of revenue during periods when contract awards may slow or the market for certain services softens.

Cash and cash equivalents at April 3, 2009, was nearly $2.3 billion, up from approximately $700 million in fiscal 2008, a $1.6 billion increase compared to a $350 million decrease from fiscal 2007 to 2008. The fiscal 2009 increase reflected increased cash flows from operating activities and lower uses of cash in investing activities. The higher operating cash flow was primarily attributable to higher net income, with significant non-cash tax benefits to net income offset by other improvements in working capital. The lower investing cash flows were primarily due to fiscal 2009 expenditures for acquisitions of $100 million, versus $1.6 billion for fiscal 2008. Cash provided from financing activities during fiscal 2009 reflect the Company’s draw down of a credit facility, offset by principal payments on the long-term debt and commercial paper.

Free cash flow for fiscal 2009 was $1.0 billion, compared to $175 million for fiscal 2008. The comparison reflects the fiscal 2009 improvement in operating cash flows as well as lower capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. The fiscal 2008 results also include significant restructuring outflows and the adverse impact of several timing matters with fiscal 2007, primarily fiscal 2007 capital expenditures paid for in fiscal 2008 and a large prepayment received at the end of fiscal 2007.

Fiscal 2010 Commentary

Although management believes CSC’s broad service portfolio positions it well to assist public and private sector clients in the ongoing challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company expects continued overall pressure on revenue growth during fiscal 2010. Management will continue to focus on cost control and cash flow.

As a leading federal contractor and one of the top IT service providers to the U.S. federal government, CSC’s NPS segment is well-positioned to benefit from the demand for IT services in this market. CSC sees opportunities for significant growth in the areas of health information and services, and cyber security, both of which are priority areas for funding. CSC anticipates continued strong funding levels in the Department of Defense, especially in the logistical support and training segments of the budget, and in the Department of Homeland Security for infrastructure modernization. Overall, NPS revenue is expected to grow at or above the fiscal 2009 level, benefiting from the $7.3 billion in bookings in fiscal 2009. While the ultimate distribution of U.S. federal funds and project assignments can vary, the Company expects broad IT and outsourcing capabilities to be viewed favorably by the U.S. federal government.

The Company expects the global commercial market to remain challenging during fiscal 2010, due to the current global economic environment. CSC has a base of significant outsourcing contracts, which the Company expects will continue to provide a stable revenue stream during fiscal 2010 in its GOS segment. However, growth from this revenue stream is expected to be tempered by the continued demand for offshore services and the resulting pressure on prices, as well as volatility in the short term projects. Demand for services in the BS&S segments is also expected to suffer due to the global economic situation. During fiscal 2009, the Company’s GOS and BS&S revenue was negatively impacted by currency fluctuations. While exchange rates have stabilized recently, currency movements continue to be a major influence on results and the Company is unable to predict such changes.

With limited opportunities for revenue growth expected, management intends to increase its focus on operating income margin in fiscal 2010. Management of SG&A and other overhead costs, as well as continuing utilization of offshore and nearshore cost centers, is expected to mitigate margin pressure from lower revenue. The Company also will continue its focus on cash management, though fiscal 2010 free cash flow is not expected to match that of fiscal 2009. The fiscal 2009 achievement benefited from a six day improvement in DSO which is not anticipated to recur in fiscal 2010. Also, the company anticipates the relatively low capital expenditures made in fiscal 2009 will not be maintained in fiscal 2010. Fiscal 2009 free cash flow also benefited from realized gains on foreign currency hedging programs. Such gains or losses are dependent on the movement of foreign currency exchange rates which the Company is unable to predict. However, the Company continues to target free cash flow to approximate 90% of net income.

Business Solutions and Services

Fiscal 2009

Revenue from the BS&S segments’ operations for fiscal 2009 increased approximately $335 million or 8.2% compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of the fiscal 2008 acquisitions of Covansys Corporation (Covansys) and First Consulting Group (FCG) which contributed approximately $132.8 million and $148.1 million of growth, respectively, during fiscal 2009 (Covansys was acquired in July 2007 and FCG was acquired in January 2008).

BS&S − Consulting segment revenue increased $202.8 million, or 11.1% during fiscal 2009, and 16.8% excluding the effect of currency. Approximately $135.0 million of the growth came from consulting and systems integration operations in North America, driven by the $148.1 million from the acquisition of FCG. A slight drop in remaining North American operations was due to a decrease in staff utilization rates which were only partially offset by improved billing rates. European operations primarily comprised the remainder of the BSS - Consulting increase, despite adverse currency movements. The higher growth came from new project work as well as increased scope at existing customers. While the achievement of revenue milestones on the National Health Service (NHS) contract in the United Kingdom resulted in NHS year-over-year growth in local currency, revenue was down slightly on NHS after the effect of currency.

BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment revenue decreased approximately $26.5 million, 2.6% or 1.4% excluding currency in fiscal 2009. In North America, decreases in credit reporting and consulting services more than offset increases in sales of software licenses. Lower license sales and consulting revenue in Europe provided the remainder of the decrease.

BS&S − Other segment revenue increased $158.7 million, or 12.9%, or 15.9% excluding currency. The increase was primarily the result of the full year impact of the fiscal 2008 acquisition of Covansys which provided approximately $132.8 million of revenue growth.

Fiscal 2008

Revenue from the BS&S segments’ operations for fiscal 2008 increased approximately $842 million or 26% compared to the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily the result of the acquisitions of Covansys Corporation and FCG which contributed approximately $386 million and $37 million, respectively, during fiscal 2008. Growth in Europe consulting and systems integration operations contributed $258 million in additional revenue.

BS&S − Consulting segment revenue increased 16.1% during fiscal 2008 or 9.2% excluding the effects of currency. The increase in revenue was the result of achievement of revenue milestones on the NHS contract, which contributed $110 million of revenue growth during fiscal 2008, and growth on project work in the West and Central regions of Europe as a result of increases in hourly billing rates. The growth in revenue in Europe was partially offset by a decline in revenue for consulting and systems integration operations in North America of approximately $9 million as a result of a decline in utilization rates and headcount which was partially offset by an increase in the hourly billing rate and the acquisition of FCG which contributed $37 million of revenue during fiscal 2008.

BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment revenue increased approximately $43 million during fiscal 2008. In North America increases in business process outsourcing activities and consulting services more than offset declines in sales of software licenses resulting in an increase in revenue of approximately $29 million. License sales and consulting revenue in Europe provided the remainder of the increase in revenue during fiscal 2008.

BS&S − Other segment revenue increased $544 million during fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of Covansys Corporation which provided approximately $386 million of revenue during fiscal 2008. The remainder of the increase in revenue was from a professional staffing business in Australia which provided $70 million of revenue growth and from consulting and systems integration activities in Australia and Asia.

Global Outsourcing Services

Fiscal 2009

GOS segment revenue declined $297.5 million in fiscal 2009, or 4.4%, but was up .2% when excluding foreign currency effects of over $310 million. On a constant currency basis, increased revenue in Europe ($23 million), Australia ($16 million) and Asia ($27 million) offset declines in North America ($49 million). The higher international revenue was due to the full-year effects of new fiscal 2008 contracts as well as scope extensions on others. European growth of $179 million was mostly offset by the impact of renegotiating terms of certain existing contracts and a contract conclusion totaling $156 million. In North America, contract conclusions of $202 million and scope reductions on existing contracts of $54 million more than offset new fiscal 2009 and annualized fiscal 2008 wins of $162 million and the full year impact of the fiscal 2008 FCG acquisition of $46 million.

Fiscal 2008

GOS segment revenue growth of 6.7% (1.5% excluding currency effects) for fiscal 2008 was the result of growth in new business in Europe, growth on existing engagements and the acquisition of FCG which provided $20 million of revenue in fiscal 2008. A year-over-year decline in North American revenue from outsourcing services of approximately $70 million partially offset the growth in international operations. New contracts with the United Kingdom’s public sector, an investment bank, a telecommunications company and an automobile parts supplier provided approximately $200 million of revenue growth in Europe. Outsourcing services revenue in Europe also benefited from growth on existing contracts which provided $58 million of revenue during fiscal 2008. Australia and Asia provided approximately $60 million and $25 million of revenue growth in outsourcing services during fiscal 2008 with the growth primarily from existing engagements. The decline in revenue in North America was the result of the end of contracts with a local government and a hospital company and reduction in base line rates on certain existing contracts as these contracts mature.

North American Public Sector

The Company’s North American Public Sector segment revenues were derived from the following sources:

	Fiscal 2009					Fiscal 2008					Fiscal 2007
Dollars in millions	Amount		Percent Change			Amount		Percent Change			Amount
Department of Defense	$	4,203.3		8.9	%	$	3,859.7		7.1	%	$	3,603.3
Civil agencies		1,615.3		(6.9	)		1,734.0		2.8			1,686.8
Other (1)		158.8		(15.3	)		187.4		19.8			156.4
Total North American Public Sector	$	5,977.4		3.4		$	5,781.1		6.1		$	5,446.5

(1)	Other revenues consist of foreign, state and local government work as well as commercial contracts performed by the North American Public Sector segment.

Fiscal 2009

NPS Sector segment revenue increased $196.3 million or 3.4% to $5,977.4 million for fiscal 2009. The revenue growth was the result of new business awarded during fiscal 2009 and 2008, increases on existing Department of Defense contracts, and an acquisition. Acquisition of a logistics engineering business contributed $14 million to revenue growth for fiscal 2009. This growth was partially offset by revenue reductions due to concluding contracts and reductions on other programs. The NPS continued to win significant new business during fiscal 2009 with announced new U.S. federal contract awards of $7.25 billion.

Department of Defense revenue increased $343.6 million or 8.9% to $4,203.3 million for fiscal 2009. Growth was the result of new contracts for analysis, engineering, surveillance and reconnaissance support for the U.S. Army. The Company benefited from significant contracts involving the expansion of field operations vehicles and strategic planning and management for the Missile Defense Agency. The Company also benefited from new contracts to provide application hosting, system engineering, software development, and web applications services for an intelligence contract. Under a task order valued at $369 million, the Company also engaged in professional services support for the Naval Sea Systems Engineering Directorate. This growth was partially offset by the end of certain programs.

Civil agencies revenue decreased $118.7 million, or 6.9%, versus fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of reduced activity and the end of certain programs with NASA.

Other NPS revenue decreased $28.6 million, or 15.3%, versus fiscal 2008. This decrease was primarily the result of client budget constraints and delayed commitments from clients.

Fiscal 2008

Department of Defense revenue increased $256 million or 7.1% to $3,860 million for fiscal 2008. Growth was the result of continuing demand for equipment procurement and installation services for the U.S. Army with a new procurement contract, increased scope and task orders on a program to provide systems integration services to the U.S. Army, a new program to provide systems integration and equipment installation services to the U.S. Air Force, an increase in task orders on a program to provide programs and software engineering to the Missile Defense Agency, increased task orders on a program to provide management services for certain intelligence services and additional task orders on a program to provide IT engineering services to the U.S. Navy. These new programs and tasking provided approximately $356 million in revenue growth for fiscal 2008. This growth was partially offset by the end of a classified program and a program to provide system development services to the U.S. Army and the loss of contracts to provide maintenance and support services which combined provided additional revenue of approximately $141 million in the prior year. In addition, on certain programs funds were redirected to other procurement programs and revenue declined on these programs as a consequence.

Civil agencies revenue, excluding acquisitions, decreased $19 million, or 1.1%, versus fiscal 2007, primarily as a result of reduced activity and the end of certain programs with NASA. These decreases were offset by the acquisition at the end of the third quarter of the prior year of an identity management and credentialing business which contributed $99 million to revenue growth in fiscal 2008.

Work performed by the North American Public Sector for state and local governments as well as commercial clients was $187 million for fiscal 2008, an increase of $31 million from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of a new contract with a non-governmental aid organization which contributed $31 million of revenue during fiscal 2008.

Costs and Expenses

The Company’s costs and expenses were as follows:

	Dollar Amount								Percentage of Revenue
Dollars in millions	2009		2008			2007			2009			2008			2007
Costs of services (excludes depreciation and amortization)	$	13,260.7	$	13,151.9		$	11,813.5			79.2	%		79.7	%		79.5	%
Selling, general and administrative		1,082.8		975.4			918.3			6.5			5.9			6.2

Fiscal 2009

Historically, the Company has substantially matched revenues and costs in the same currency. However, the Company is increasing its use of offshore support and therefore is increasingly exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2009 improved slightly to 94.3% from 94.4% in fiscal 2008. Offsetting a cost of services ratio decrease of .5% in fiscal 2009 was a selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense ratio increase in equal amount, which was a result of relatively higher marketing and branding costs, development of new service offerings, relocation of the Company’s headquarters, client-targeting, and increased amounts charged to allowance for doubtful accounts. The depreciation and amortization ratio declined slightly due to less capital expenditure. The interest expense ratio increased as a result of fiscal 2008’s fourth quarter term debt offering to replace commercial paper and the drawdown of the credit facility during fiscal 2009. The Company also incurred a goodwill impairment charge as further described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other expense of $23.4 million was primarily due to foreign currency exchange losses. In fiscal 2008, the Company had net gains in foreign currency and also had gains from the sale of non-operating assets. See Notes 8 and 14 for further discussion of the Company’s foreign currency hedging program.

Fiscal 2008

Costs and expenses as a percentage of revenue for fiscal 2008 decreased 1.5% points to 94.4% from 95.9% for fiscal 2007 primarily as a result of a reduction in costs incurred for restructuring activities during fiscal 2007, accounting for 1.2% points. The cost of services ratio increased primarily as a result of an estimate to complete adjustment on a contract with a U.S. government agency. The SG&A expense ratio decreased as a result of (1) the impact of restructuring activities, (2) a reduction in bid and proposal costs due to a number of contract renewals in the prior year, and (3) the acquisition of Covansys Corporation which has a lower cost ratio than the Company’s legacy business. The depreciation and amortization ratio was essentially unchanged from the prior year. The interest expense ratio decreased as a result of two offsetting factors: (1) beginning in fiscal 2008 the classification of income tax related interest expense as income tax expense as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 which in fiscal 2007 and 2006 was included in interest expense, and (2) additional borrowings of $1.7 billion to finance the acquisitions of Covansys and FCG. Other income increased due to gains from the sale of non-operating assets which offset a decline in foreign currency exchange gains.

Costs of Services

Fiscal 2009

Costs of services as a percentage of revenue decreased .5% points to 79.2% for fiscal 2009, primarily driven by improvements in the GOS, NPS and BSS-Other segments. GOS operations in Europe benefited from the prior years’ restructuring program as well as improved performance on certain large accounts. The improvements in Europe more than offset higher costs as a percentage of revenue in the GOS Americas region, which were driven primarily from impairments of approximately $26 million for deferred contract and other costs associated with two contracts. The NPS segment ratio for fiscal 2009 improved as fiscal 2008’s results included charges on a fixed price contract with the IRS of $42 million as noted below. Absent the fiscal 2008 charge, the ratio was virtually unchanged. In the BS&S- Other segment, improvements in CSC India were driven primarily by the weakening of the rupee during fiscal 2009 which reduced costs on US dollar-denominated contracts.

Fiscal 2008

Costs of services as a percentage of revenue increased .2% points to 79.7% for fiscal 2008 as a result of an increase in the North American Public Sector segment ratio of 0.7% points to 86.8% and a 1.4% point increase in the BS&S − Other segment to 80.6%. The increase in the cost of services ratio for the North American Public Sector segment was primarily due to an estimate to complete adjustment in Civil agencies while the increase in the ratio for BS&S − Other was from growth in a staffing business which has lower operating margins than the other operations within BS&S − Other segment which include consulting and systems integration services and business process outsourcing.

The NPS segment ratio for fiscal 2008 increased .6% points primarily as a result of charges recorded on a fixed price contract with the IRS. As the result of amending a fixed priced contract with the IRS the Company recorded a forward loss and reduced pre-contract costs related to the contract to their estimated recoverable amount. The combined charge was $42 million. The impact of this charge was partially offset by the improvement in the margin on a fixed price contract and cost reduction initiatives undertaken during fiscal 2008.

The GOS segment ratio decreased to 74.6% primarily as a result of the impact of the restructuring plan in Europe where the ratio improved 2.1%. The ratio in North America was adversely affected by a $13 million charge to resolve a dispute with a customer regarding a receivable. The adverse impact of the charge was partially offset by the termination of certain lower margin contracts.

The BS&S line of business cost of services ratio for fiscal 2008 increased approximately 1.9%. The ratio in the BS&S − Other segment increased approximately 1.4% as a result of an increase in the ratio in Australia where revenue growth in a lower margin professional staffing business increased the ratio for the segment. The BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment ratio increased 1.8% points due primarily to a decrease in license sales, which attract minimal cost of services charges, in the United States and in Europe. The ratio for the BS&S − Consulting segment also increased as the result of an increase in its North America operations ratio due to a decrease in the utilization rate from the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative

Fiscal 2009

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased .6% points to 6.5% for fiscal 2009 primarily due to increases in Corporate and GOS segment SG&A. GOS SG&A as a percentage of revenue increased approximately 1.1% points in fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008 in the Europe and North American regions. The higher GOS costs were driven by increases in allowances for bad debt expense, business development expenses, customer relationships management, and costs incurred to introduce the new CSC brand in Europe. The customer relationship costs and branding efforts were part of the Company’s roll out of Project Accelerate in fiscal 2009. Corporate G&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased 0.2% points in fiscal 2009 versus fiscal 2008, and related to the roll out of the new CSC brand and costs incurred to relocate the Company’s headquarters. Partly offsetting the higher SG&A cost percentages was an improvement of .2% points in the NPS segment.

Fiscal 2008

SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased by .3% points to 5.9% for fiscal 2008. The improvement in the ratio was attributed to three factors: (1) the restructuring activities in the BS&S segments, primarily in the BS&S − Financial Services Sector segment, where the ratio improved by .7% points, (2) lower bid and proposal costs in GOS segment in Australia which had a number of contracts up for re-bid in the prior year, and (3) the acquisition of Covansys Corporation in the BS&S – Other segment during the second quarter which had a lower selling, general and administrative expense ratio than the Company’s previously existing businesses. The NPS segment ratio was essentially flat to the prior year with a slight increase in the ratio due to increased bid and proposal costs in fiscal 2008. At the Corporate level the Company incurred professional services costs as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 and the restatement of the prior year financial statements. However, these costs were approximately the same as costs incurred during fiscal 2007 related to the stock option investigation and did not result in a significant change in the expense ratio.

Depreciation and Amortization

Fiscal 2009

Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expense as a percentage of revenue decreased .2% points to 7.1% during fiscal 2009. The primary driver for the decrease was a favorable mix shift towards a lower revenue volume in GOS relative to the other segments. GOS D&A as a percentage of revenue is in excess of 12% as compared to the consolidated average of 7.1% and 7.3% in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. As GOS revenue declined from 41% of total CSC revenue to 38% from fiscal 2009 to 2008, the consolidated D&A percentage of revenue improved accordingly. The expense ratio also improved slightly in NPS, which had a lower than average ratio of 2.3% and 2.6% in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, and which had a larger proportionate share of revenues year-over-year from 35% up to 36%. The NPS improvement resulted from reductions in capital expenditures, and reduced amortization of transition costs and customer intangibles. The BS&S - Financial Services segment also had improved performance in the North America region as D&A improved from 8.1% to 6.2% of revenues, primarily driven by lower amortization on internally developed software and the absence of fiscal 2009 depreciation on a building sold at the end of fiscal 2008.

Fiscal 2008

Depreciation and amortization expense of $1.2 billion for fiscal 2008 represents 7.3% of revenue and was essentially unchanged from the prior year. Depreciation and amortization expense was stable, as a percentage of revenue for the NPS Sector segment. The NPS Sector segment depreciation and amortization expense ratio was unchanged from the 2007 level as expenses increased at approximately the same rate as revenues which increased by 6.1%. The GOS segment ratio declined .1% from the prior year ratio primarily as a result of the termination of the Sears and Nortel Networks contracts which required significant investment in equipment. The BS&S segments’ ratio increased .8% points as a result of (1) an increase in the ratio of 1.5% in the BS&S − Consulting segment due to investment in the NHS contract in Europe and the amortization of customer intangibles from the FCG acquisition, (2) an increase in the BS&S − Other segment ratio of 1.2% due to the acquisition of Covansys and the amortization of customer intangibles. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the ratio for the BS&S−Financial Services Sector segment of .6% due to reductions in new asset purchases.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in our second quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company tested the recoverability of goodwill as part of its annual review with no indication of impairment. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company’s stock price fluctuated, which the Company believes is due to the uncertainty related to the global economy and overall stock market volatility. As a result, the Company’s market capitalization was frequently less than its net book value during the third and fourth quarters. At January 2, 2009, the Company evaluated all relevant factors and determined an interim impairment test was not necessary. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company undertook its fiscal 2010 budgeting process and at the end of the quarter, having substantially completed its budgeting process, determined that the expected cash flows for certain reporting units were significantly less than the estimated cash flows utilized in the fiscal 2009 annual impairment test. Management concluded these factors were a triggering event indicating potential impairment and performed an impairment test of goodwill.

Based on the results of the interim impairment test conducted at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an $18.9 million goodwill impairment charge, equal to the carrying amount of the goodwill attributable to the CSA reporting unit. There were no other significant intangible assets attributed to the CSA reporting nor were any other long-lived assets attributable to that reporting unit determined to be impaired. CSA, a value-added reseller and provider of installation, warranty, and maintenance services in respect of IT equipment, is included in the BS&S - Other reportable segment. For further discussion about goodwill impairment testing and the related estimates and assumptions, see Critical Accounting Estimates in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis as well as Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements and Item 1A- Risk Factors in this Form 10-K.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Fiscal 2009

The increase in interest expense for fiscal 2009 of $75.1 million compared to fiscal 2008 was primarily a result of the issuance of debt for a combined $1.7 billion in fiscal 2008 to finance the acquisitions of Covansys Corporation and FCG. Interest expense for these notes and commercial paper was approximately $116.5 million for fiscal 2009, an increase from $47.3 million in fiscal 2008. Approximately $27.0 million of the remaining interest expense increase was due to the $1.5 billion draw down in the credit facility in October 2008 to repay commercial paper and increase the Company’s liquidity position. The lower commercial paper outstanding and the maturity of the 3.5% $300 million senior notes in April 2008 resulted in lower interest expense which partially offset the increase. In addition, higher borrowings in Europe to fund working capital requirements and additional capital leases in NPS contributed to interest expense. Interest income increased approximately $3.9 million as a result of an increase in cash balances from the drawdown of the credit facility as well as higher cash balances in India.

Fiscal 2008

The decrease in interest expense for fiscal 2008 of $32.5 million compared to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the election to classify interest on tax related income tax liabilities of $77.8 million on the income tax expense line upon the adoption of FIN 48 during fiscal 2008. The prior year periods have not been adjusted to reflect this change in classification and include tax related interest of $75.4 million and $41.1 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Partially offsetting this classification change was interest on $1.7 billion of commercial paper, subsequently converted to senior notes, issued to finance the acquisition of Covansys Corporation and FCG Corporation. The issuance of the commercial paper and the senior notes resulted in additional interest expense of approximately $40.1 million for fiscal 2008. Interest income decreased by approximately $12.4 million for fiscal 2008 as a result of a decline in cash balances and income from securities sold in the prior year.

Special Items

No Special items were recorded during fiscal year 2009. Special items totaling $155.8 million were recorded during fiscal 2008 and consisted of: (1) a $133.4 million restructuring charge (see discussion below), and (2) a $22.4 million charge related to the retirement of the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. During fiscal 2007, special items totaling $316.1 million were recorded and consisted of: (1) a $333.4 million restructuring charge (see discussion below), (2) a year to date $1.0 million true-up of an estimate related to the fiscal 2006 Nortel impairment charge and (3) an $18.3 million gain from the redemption of DynCorp International preferred stock recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Restructuring

In April 2006, the Company announced a restructuring plan to be carried out during fiscal 2007 and 2008. The objectives of the plan were to 1) streamline CSC’s worldwide operations and 2) leverage the increased use of lower cost global resources. Restructuring charges consisted predominantly of severance and related employee payments resulting from terminations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007 the Company evaluated facility consolidation opportunities and other areas where operations could be streamlined and costs reduced consistent with the plan objectives, resulting in additional lease termination, asset impairment and other charges.

Workforce reductions, including some voluntary terminations, in fiscal 2008 and 2007 were approximately 1,400 and 4,400, respectively.

The Company did not record any termination-related restructuring charges as special items in fiscal 2009. Termination-related charges were $110.7 million and $294.3 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. Other costs, which were primarily related to vacant space, of $22.7 million and $39.1 million were also recorded during fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. All of the restructuring charge in fiscal 2008 was incurred in the BS&S segments. Restructuring charges of $333.4 million were recorded in fiscal year 2007.

The restructuring plan generated savings of approximately $389 million in fiscal 2008 against a plan of $380 million and compares to savings of approximately $180 million in fiscal 2007. Approximately 92% of the savings come from reduced cost of services, while the remainder will be predominantly from lower selling, general and administrative costs. Savings are net of new or increased recurring costs, primarily the costs anticipated for an increasing offshore workforce. Savings are also impacted by certain transitional costs as new offshore staff are trained while outgoing staff are still on the payroll. Such transitional costs were $.3 and $4.1 million for fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.

A majority of the planned headcount reductions took place in Europe. For fiscal 2008, European headcount decreased by approximately 900 compared to 3,000 in fiscal 2007. Approximately 300 reductions were made in North America in fiscal 2008 compared to 1,100 in the prior year. The balance of the reductions occurred in Australia and Asia.

Restructuring-related pre-tax cash payments for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were approximately $67.6 million, $180.4 million, and $207.2 million, respectively. Included in the restructuring charges are pension benefit augmentations that are due to certain employees in accordance with legal or contractual obligations, which will be paid out over several years as part of normal pension distributions. Such liabilities are included in the consolidated pension liability account.

See the following table for a summary of fiscal 2009 (in millions):

The Company reported other expense of $23.4 million for fiscal 2009 compared with $48.4 million of other income in fiscal 2008 and $41.3 million of other income for fiscal 2007. Other expense/(income) is comprised primarily of foreign currency gains and losses on intra-company balances and gains and losses on sale of non-operating assets, as well as costs associated with the Company’s hedging program.

Of the reported $25.2 million currency loss in fiscal 2009, $15.0 million was due to hedging costs. The remaining loss of $10.2 million is due to the unhedged currency exposure. Foreign currency net gains and losses for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were the result of the effect of currency rate movements, primarily between the U.S. dollar and the Euro, British Pound Sterling, and Australian dollar and between the Euro and the British Pound Sterling. The gain on sale of non-operating assets during fiscal 2008 included the sale of a building in Austin, TX, in March for a gain of approximately $11.2 million pre-tax and the sale of available for sale securities for a gain of approximately $4.4 million pre-tax.

Taxes

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 was (17.5%), 40.7% and 34.5%, respectively. As a global enterprise, our tax rates are affected by many factors, including our global mix of earnings, the extent to which those global earnings are indefinitely reinvested outside the United States, legislation, acquisitions, dispositions and tax characteristics of our income. Our tax returns are routinely audited and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax provisions.

Our effective tax rate decreased for fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008 primarily due to a $370.5 million reduction in uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, due to audit settlements with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Company also filed accounting method changes during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009 and had settlements with certain state and foreign jurisdictions.

The effective tax rate increased for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007 due to the impact of income tax credits and the classification of tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense as a result of the adoption of FIN 48 on March 31, 2007. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the foreign effective tax rates during fiscal year 2008, the remeasurement of tax, penalties and interest for tax matters relating to fiscal years 1995 to 1999, and changes in accounting methods.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the IRS concluded its examination of the Company’s consolidated U.S. tax returns for the fiscal years 2000 through 2004. The nature of the significant items subject to examination included depreciation and amortization, research credits and international tax issues. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company also filed various accounting method changes with the IRS.

As a result of the conclusion of the IRS examination and the filing of accounting method changes, the Company recorded reductions of approximately $929.3 million in the liability for uncertain tax positions and related accrued interest and penalties. Of the reductions in liability for uncertain tax positions and related accrued interest and penalties, approximately $370.5 million was reflected as a reduction to income tax expense. Additionally, $420.9 million, $143.9 million and $(6.0) million of uncertain tax positions were reclassified on the Company’s balance sheet from liability for uncertain tax positions to deferred tax liabilities, taxes payable and other balance sheet accounts, respectively.

As of April 3, 2009, the Company's liability for uncertain tax positions was $503.8 million, including interest of $81.3 million, penalties of $28.7 million and net of tax carryforwards of $49.4 million. During the year ended April 3, 2009, the Company accrued an interest benefit of $207.8 million ($128.7 million net of tax) and had a net release of penalties of $119.1 million. This interest amount includes the effect of new uncertain tax positions recognized in fiscal year 2009.

On January 8, 2008, the Company paid a $100 million bond to the IRS related to certain tax matters. As a result, tax related interest for these tax matters stopped accruing as of the date of the bond payment.

A more detailed analysis of differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate, as well as other information about our income tax provision, is provided in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share and Share Base

Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations for fiscal 2009 increased $4.11 to $7.31 from $3.20 in fiscal 2008. EPS was favorably impacted by significantly higher net income and a decrease in the average share base of 17.6 million shares from fiscal 2008.

The higher net income resulted from an increase in revenue of 1.5% and income before tax margin of 3.4% points compared to the prior year, as well as the $166.1 million tax benefit in fiscal 2009 versus tax expense of $373 million in fiscal 2008. Other significant contributing elements were fiscal 2008’s special items and the change in other expense/(income) from year over year. The average share base reduction was due to the full year effect of the share purchase program and a reduction in the dilutive effect of stock options partially offset by the exercise of 2.1 million employee stock options during the prior year. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the share repurchase transactions.

The Company significantly increased its net cash balance during fiscal 2009. Operating cash flow increased $643.5 million for fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008 primarily due to higher net income and higher collections of accounts receivable, partially offset by decreases in income tax liabilities. Cash used in investing activities decreased $1.7 billion primarily due to the prior year acquisitions of Covansys Corporation and First Consulting Group which required a use of cash of $1.6 billion. Net cash provided by financing activities was $742.1 million, a decrease of $255.8 million with several offsetting factors described below.

Operating Cash Flow

Net cash from operating activities for fiscal 2009 of $1,986.4 million represents an increase of $643.5 million versus the prior year. Significant factors in these results are described below.

·	A $570.6 million increase in net income.

·	A reduction in receivables provided cash of $224.0 million in 2009. The reduction is primarily attributable to the Company’s NPS and GOS operations resulting from a fiscal 2009 initiative to reduce DSO, as well as resolution of certain contract disputes and several contract completions.

·	Increases in prepaid expenses and other assets required a use of cash of $164.1 million in 2009. The increase was primarily due to work in progress on the Company’s significant contract with the UK National Health Service (NHS).

·	Decreases in accounts payable and accruals required use of cash in fiscal 2009 of $322.5 million. The decrease primarily resulted from timing of BS&S – Consulting subcontractor payments, and vendor payments in BS&S – Other regions.

·	Increases in deferred income and advance payments provided cash of $235.5 million for fiscal 2009. The increases primarily resulted from higher advances on the Company’s engagement with NHS tied to expected activity levels.

A decrease in income taxes payable and liability of cash of $820.1 million, included a non-cash component for fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2009, the Company reached resolutions with the IRS and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As a result of these settlements, the Company’s income tax payments decreased $172.7 million in fiscal 2009 to $323.1 million. Additionally, the settlements resulted in a non-cash benefit related to the reduction of uncertain tax liabilities.

·	Also impacting the fiscal 2009 comparison of operating cash flows to the prior year was $97.9 million of unrealized foreign currency losses compared to $27.3 million of gains for fiscal 2008.

Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2008 of $1,342.9 million represents a decrease of $235.7 million versus fiscal 2007. Significant factors in these results included the following:

For 2008, increases in receivables required a use of cash of $217.0 million, primarily from increases in unbilled receivables resulting from timing of work performed in GOS and long-term contracts. A five day increase in Days Sales Outstanding for 2008 from 2007 was due to new business awards in Europe, increased unbilled on the NHS contract, and the dilutive nature of the mid-year acquisitions during 2008.

The cash flow impact of changes in prepaid expenses and other assets was a use of cash of $368.0 million for fiscal 2008. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was the result of increases in work-in process balances for fiscal 2008 of $189 million, primarily in Europe and the payment of a $100 million bond to the IRS to stop the accrual of interest on certain tax liabilities.

Activity in accounts payable and certain accrued expenses resulted in a use of cash of approximately $110 million during fiscal 2008. Accounts payable and certain accrued expenses decreased $381 million from the prior year due to the reversal of income tax related interest and penalties accrued under FAS 5 prior to fiscal 2008 and the accrual of the income tax related interest and penalties as a tax liability as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses was partially offset in cash flow by an increase in accrued payroll of approximately $155.0 million primarily due to timing of payments.

·	Activity in deferred income and advance payments provided cash inflow of approximately $87 million for fiscal 2008. The increase was related to advance contract payments in Europe and the United States as well as sales of software licenses.

·	The cash flow impact from changes in income tax liabilities and assets was a cash inflow of approximately $130.0 million for fiscal 2008. Additions to taxes payable during fiscal 2008 were somewhat offset by payments to tax authorities during the year of approximately $496.0 million.

Investing Cash Flow

The Company’s capital investments principally relate to purchases of computer equipment and purchases and development of software, and deferred outsourcing contract costs that have supported the Company’s expanding GOS segment operations in prior years. Investments include computer equipment purchased at the inception of outsourcing contracts as well as for subsequent upgrades, expansion or replacement of these client-supporting assets. For cash flow presentation purposes, the Outsourcing Contracts line includes amounts paid to clients for assets purchased from the clients that are categorized as property and equipment on the balance sheet. Outsourcing contract costs are also comprised of incremental external costs as well as certain internal costs that directly relate to a contract’s acquisition or start-up, including payments to clients for amounts in excess of the fair market value of acquired assets.

Investing cash outflows decreased to $1,038.0 million during fiscal 2009 compared to $2,718.7 million for fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the fiscal 2008 acquisitions of Covansys and FCG, which required a use of cash of $1.6 billion, as well as a $177.9 million reduction in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

Investing cash outflows increased approximately $1.8 billion for fiscal 2008 compared to 2007. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Covansys and FCG. The remaining increase was driven by higher purchases of computer equipment and deferred outsourcing contracts costs of $191.0 million and $53.0 million, respectively. The increase in equipment was as a result of replacements on contracts in Europe and the United States while the increase in deferred outsourcing costs was as a result of new contracts in Europe and in the North American Public Sector.

Future capital investments will depend on levels of new business and the mix of that business. Contracts in the NPS and BS&S segments typically require lower levels of initial investment compared to contracts in the GOS segment.

Financing Cash Flow

Cash provided by financing activities was $742.1 million for fiscal 2009 and a decrease of $255.8 million from fiscal 2008. The inflow was primarily due to a draw down on a $1.5 billion credit facility. CSC took this action to eliminate its reliance on the commercial paper market. Partially offsetting the financing cash inflows were repayments of $500 million of maturing long-term debt, and repayment of commercial paper.

Fiscal 2008 cash provided by financing activities increased $1.9 billion from the prior year. The inflow was primarily from the issuance of approximately $2.0 billion of commercial paper, $1.7 billion of which was refinanced with issuance of the $700 million 5.5% Senior Notes due 2013 and $1.0 billion 6.5% Senior Notes due 2018. This inflow was partially offset by outflows of $1.0 billion to acquire outstanding common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $2,297.3 million at April 3, 2009, and $698.9 million at March 28, 2008, and $1,050.1 million at March 30, 2007.

During fiscal 2009, shareholder’s equity increased $48.1 million. The positive impact of net earnings of $1,115.2 million was largely offset by two negative factors. First, foreign currency translation movements caused a $637.5 million decrease as the U.S. dollar strengthened sharply. Second, the company recorded an unfunded pension obligation increase, reducing accumulated other comprehensive income by $467.0 million. Recognition of stock-based compensation expense and stock option exercises added $65.9 million to stockholders’ equity.

At the end of fiscal 2009, CSC’s ratio of debt to total capitalization was 43.5%, up from 38.9% at the end of fiscal 2008, and from 21.4% at the end of fiscal 2007. The increase in the debt ratio for fiscal 2009 was primarily the result of the draw down of the $1.5 billion line of credit.

The increase in the debt ratio for fiscal 2008 was the result of (1) the issuance of $1.7 billion of commercial paper which was converted into long-term notes during fiscal 2008 to fund the acquisitions of Covansys and FCG, (2) the issuance of approximately $263 million of commercial paper during the fourth quarter to fund the completion of the 10b5-1 share repurchase plan, and (3) the decrease in shareholders’ equity resulting from the 10b5-1 share repurchase.

The following table summarizes the Company’s debt to total capitalization ratios as of fiscal year ends 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Dollars in millions	April 3, 2009			March 28, 2008			March 30, 2007
Debt	$	4,234.5		$	3,473.7		$	1,505.9
Equity		5,509.9			5,461.8			5,540.0
Total capitalization	$	9,744.4		$	8,935.5		$	7,045.9
Debt to total capitalization		43.5	%		38.9	%		21.4	%

During fiscal 2008, the Company purchased and retired approximately 24.3 million outstanding common shares through a 10b5-1 share repurchase plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors at a cost of approximately $1.03 billion. This transaction was financed through available cash on hand and the issuance of approximately $263.0 million of commercial paper which is no longer outstanding.

At April 3, 2009, the Company had $32.1 million of short-term borrowings under uncommitted lines of credit with foreign banks, $29.8 million of current maturities and $4,172.6 million of long-term debt. The Company had no outstanding commercial paper as of April 3, 2009.

At March 28, 2008, the Company had $309.5 million of short-term borrowings, $528.9 million of current maturities of long-term debt and $2,635.3 million of long-term debt. As further described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, commercial paper is classified as short-term borrowings. The Company had $262.9 million of outstanding commercial paper as of March 28, 2008.

On July 12, 2007, the Company entered into a new committed line of credit providing $1.5 billion of long-term commercial paper backup. The line of credit expires on July 12, 2012. On October 22, 2008, the Company borrowed $1.5 billion under the line of credit. The proceeds from the drawdown of the line of credit were used primarily to repay maturing commercial paper and repay $200 million of maturing debt. The Company discontinued its issuance of commercial paper after October 22, 2008, and as of April 3, 2009, the Company had no commercial paper outstanding. This line requires the Company to (1) limit liens placed on our assets to $100 million and to liens incurred in the ordinary course of business; (2) maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated interest expense for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such period not to be less than 3.00 to 1.00; the Company is in full compliance with these requirements; and (3) not permit at the end of any quarterly financial reporting period the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date, to exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

As of April 3, 2009, the Company’s total liquidity was approximately $2.3 billion which included cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. As of April 3, 2009, the Company had $1.5 billion borrowed under the 2012 credit facility and was in compliance with all terms of the agreement.

Liquidity Risk

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk from operations and from the Company’s ability to access the commercial paper and debt markets.

The Company’s exposure to operational liquidity risk is primarily from long-term contracts which require significant investment of cash during the initial phases of the contracts. The recovery of these investments is over the life of the contract and is dependent upon the Company’s performance as well as customer acceptance. An example is the contract with the United Kingdom’s NHS to deliver an integrated electronic patient records system with an announced value of £2.9 billion ($5.4 billion). This is a large and complex contract. As of April 3, 2009, the Company had a net investment in the contract of approximately $549 million. Contract assets consist principally of contract work in progress and unbilled receivables but also equipment, software and other assets. These are partially offset by liabilities for deferred revenue and advanced payments. The contract is profitable and the Company expects to recover its investment; however, unforeseen future events to the extent they add costs beyond those included in the Company’s current estimated costs to complete, could potentially adversely impact such recovery and the Company’s liquidity.

The Company’s ability to access the commercial paper and debt markets is dependent on liquidity in the credit markets as well as the Company’s financial position. The Company was successful in issuing $1.7 billion of long-term debt as a private placement under rule 144A during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. This debt was then converted to publicly traded debt in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.

In the opinion of management, CSC will be able to meet its liquidity and cash needs for the foreseeable future through the combination of cash flows from operating activities and cash balances. If these resources need to be augmented, major additional cash requirements would likely be financed by the issuance of debt and/or equity securities and/or the exercise of the put option as described in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company was able to access the debt capital markets utilizing a Rule 144A offering, as noted above, which was then converted to publicly traded debt in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. However, there can be no assurances the Company will be able to issue debt with acceptable terms in the future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the expiration of the Company’s financial guarantees outstanding as of April 3, 2009:

Dollars in millions	Fiscal 2010		Fiscal 2011		Fiscal 2012 & thereafter		Total
Performance guarantees:
Surety bonds	$	32.5			$	0.1	$	32.6
Letters of credit		558.6		15.4		2.4		576.4
Standby letters of credit		72.1		0.2		4.4		76.7
Foreign subsidiary debt guarantees		639.5						639.5
Total	$	1,302.7	$	15.6	$	6.9	$	1,325.2

See Note 9 to the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

The following table summarizes the Company’s payments on contractual obligations by period as of April 3, 2009:

Dollars in millions	Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years		Total
Long-term debt			$	1,999.2	$	995.8	$	996.2	$	3,991.2
Interest on fixed rate debt	$	155.4		281.5		179.9		257.3		874.1
Capital lease obligations		26.9		45.1		21.0		101.4		194.4
Bank debt		32.1								32.1
Operating leases		282.3		352.6		194.1		76.9		905.9
Minimum purchase obligations		296.6		287.1						583.7
Other long-term liabilities		2.9		7.6		4.5		1.8		16.8
Total	$	796.2	$	2,973.1	$	1,395.3	$	1,433.6	$	6,598.2

The Company adopted FIN 48 on March 31, 2007. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. The liability related to unrecognized tax benefits has been excluded from the contractual obligations table because a reasonable estimate of the timing and amount of cash out flows from future tax settlements cannot be determined.

Regarding minimum purchase obligations included above, the Company has signed long-term purchase agreements with certain software, hardware, telecommunication and other service providers to obtain favorable pricing, committed service levels and terms for services necessary for the operation of business activities. The Company is contractually committed to purchase specified service minimums over remaining periods ranging generally from one to five years. If the Company does not meet the specified service minimums, the Company may have an obligation to pay the service provider a portion or all of the shortfall.

The above excludes estimated minimum funding requirements for retiree benefit plans as set forth by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The Company has numerous plans, both inside and outside of the U.S., and determines expected funding requirements on a per-plan basis. The minimum funding requirement can vary significantly from year to year based on a variety of factors, and can be zero in some years. Funding is determined based on a review of benefit obligations and plan assets as well as various regulatory requirements including ERISA and Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) applied to U.S. government contracts. While there are certain minimum contribution requirements, CSC may elect to increase the level of funding of contributions based on a number of factors including performance of pension investments, changes in workforce composition and the ability to recover costs on cost reimbursable contracts. During fiscal 2010, the Company expects to make contributions of approximately $95.0 million to pension and $10.0 million postretirement benefit plans. The Company has not quantified expected contributions beyond fiscal 2010 because it is not possible to predict future timing or direction of the capital markets, which can have a significant impact on future minimum funding obligations. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section later in this MD&A and to Note 11 to the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In fiscal 2009 Company pension and other pension benefits contributions amounted to $221.4 million, a decrease of $24.1 million from $245.5 million in fiscal 2008. See Note 11 to the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements under “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Many of the types of estimates made are for contract-specific issues. Changes to estimates or assumptions on a specific contract could result in a material adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

We have identified several critical accounting estimates. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both: (a) the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and (b) the impact of changes in the estimates and assumptions would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting estimates relate to: revenue recognition and cost estimation and recoverability on long-term, fixed-price contracts; revenue recognition on software license sales that require significant customization; capitalization of outsourcing contract costs and software development costs; estimates used to determine deferred income taxes; assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill; assumptions to determine retirement benefits costs and liabilities; and assumptions and estimates used to analyze contingencies and litigation. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue recognition

The majority of our revenue is recognized based on objective criteria and does not require significant estimates. Revenue from our fixed unit price contracts, time and materials contracts and cost plus contracts is recognized based on objective criteria and is not subject to estimates that may change over time. However, for our fixed-price contracts that use percentage-of-completion accounting, which is less than eight percent of the Company’s revenues, the determination of revenues and costs requires significant judgment and estimation. Under this method we recognize revenue on a constant margin as contract milestones or other output based measures are achieved. Costs are deferred until contractual milestones or other output based or cost based measures are achieved. The method requires estimates of costs and profits over the entire term of the contract, including estimates of resources and costs necessary to complete performance. Such estimates are particularly difficult on activities involving state-of-the-art technologies such as system development projects. The cost estimation process is based upon the professional knowledge and experience of our software and systems engineers, program managers and financial professionals. Key factors that are considered in estimating the work to be completed and ultimate contract profitability include the availability and productivity of labor and the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. A significant change in an estimate on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our results of operations. Our management regularly reviews project profitability and the underlying estimates.

Modifications to contract scope, schedule, and price may be required on development contracts accounted for on a percentage-of-completion basis. Accounting for such changes prior to formal contract modification requires evaluation of the characteristics and circumstances of the effort completed and assessment of probability of recovery. If recovery is deemed probable, we may, as appropriate, either defer the costs until the parties have agreed on the contract change or recognize the costs and related revenue as current period contract performance. We routinely negotiate such contract modifications.

Many of our contracts call for us to provide a range of services or elements to our customers. The total estimated revenue for these contracts is allocated to the various services or elements based on relative fair value. These relative fair values are determined based on objective evidence of fair value. Once the total estimated revenue has been allocated to the various contract elements, revenue for each element is recognized based on the relevant revenue recognition method for the services performed or elements delivered.

Estimates of total revenue at contract inception often differ materially from actual revenue due to volume difference, changes in technology or other factors which may not be foreseen at inception.

Revenue recognition on software license sales that require significant customization

If significant customization is required in the delivery of a proprietary software product, revenue is recognized as the software customization services are performed in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method described above. Thus, cost and profit estimates are required over the life of the project, and changes in such estimates can have a material effect on results.

Capitalization of outsourcing contract costs

Certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract are deferred and amortized over the contract life. These costs consist of contract acquisition and transition/set-up costs, and include the cost of due diligence activities after competitive selection, costs associated with installation of systems and processes, and amounts paid to clients in excess of the fair market value of acquired assets (premiums). Finance staff, working with program management, review costs to determine appropriateness for deferral in accordance with relevant accounting guidance.

Key estimates and assumptions that we must make include assessing the fair value of acquired assets in order to calculate the premium and projecting future cash flows in order to assess the recoverability of deferred costs. We utilize the experience and knowledge of our professional staff in program management, operations, procurement and finance areas, as well as third parties on occasion, to determine fair values of assets acquired. To assess recoverability, undiscounted estimated cash flows of the contract are projected over its remaining life and compared to contract related assets, including the unamortized deferred cost balance. Such estimates require judgment and assumptions, which are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of our personnel. Key factors that are considered in estimating the undiscounted cash flows include projected labor costs and productivity efficiencies. A significant change in an estimate or assumption on one or more contracts could have a material effect on our results of operations. Amortization of such premiums is recorded as a reduction to revenues.

Capitalization of software development costs

We capitalize certain costs incurred to develop commercial software products and to develop or purchase internal-use software. Significant estimates and assumptions include: determining the appropriate period over which to amortize the capitalized costs based on the estimated useful lives, estimating the marketability of the commercial software products and related future revenues, and assessing the unamortized cost balances for impairment. For commercial software products, determining the appropriate amortization period is based on estimates of future revenues from sales of the products. We consider various factors to project marketability and future revenues, including an assessment of alternative solutions or products, current and historical demand for the product, and anticipated changes in technology that may make the product obsolete. For internal-use software, the appropriate amortization period is based on estimates of our ability to utilize the software on an ongoing basis. To assess the recoverability of capitalized software costs, we must estimate future revenue, costs and cash flows. Such estimates require assumptions about future cash inflows and outflows, and are based on the experience and knowledge of professional staff. A significant change in an estimate related to one or more software products could result in a material change to our results of operations.

Estimates used to determine income tax expense

We make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax assets and liabilities, which principally arise from differences in the timing of recognition of revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes. We also must analyze income tax reserves, as well as determine the likelihood of recoverability of deferred tax assets, and adjust any valuation allowances accordingly. Considerations with respect to the recoverability of deferred tax assets include the period of expiration of the tax asset, planned use of the tax asset, and historical and projected taxable income as well as tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. Valuation allowances are evaluated periodically and will be subject to change in each future reporting period as a result of changes in one or more of these factors. The calculation of our tax liabilities also involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained under examination.

Assumptions related to purchase accounting and goodwill

We account for our acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires estimates to determine the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired, including judgments in our determination of acquired intangible assets such as customer-related intangibles, as well as assessments of the fair value of existing assets such as property and equipment. Liabilities acquired can include target integration liabilities as well as litigation and other contingency reserves existing at the time of acquisition, and require judgment in ascertaining their fair values. Independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, but even those determinations can be based on significant estimates provided by the Company, such as forecasted revenues or profits utilized in determining the fair value of contract-related intangibles. Numerous factors are typically considered in the purchase accounting assessments, which are conducted by Company professionals from legal, finance, human resources, information systems, program management and other disciplines. Changes in assumptions and estimates during the allocation period related to the acquisition date fair value of acquired assets and liabilities would result in changes to the recorded values, resulting in an offsetting change to the goodwill balance associated with the business acquired. Significant changes in assumptions and estimates subsequent to completing the allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, as well as differences in actual results versus estimates, could result in material impacts to earnings.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual test dates. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and reductions in growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill.

The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment of goodwill may exist. We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing an income approach, which incorporates the use of the discounted cash flow method. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for each reporting unit are discounted to a present value using a weighted average cost of capital. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company applied discount rates ranging from 10-13%, based on the specific risk characteristics of each reporting unit. The Company’s cash flow projections also incorporate management’s estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

The fair values of reporting units estimated under the income approach are assessed by comparing those values to fair value estimates derived using a market approach. A market approach estimates fair value by applying performance metric multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting units. If the fair value of the reporting unit derived in the market approach is significantly different from the fair value estimated in the income approach, the Company reevaluates and, if necessary, adjusts the assumptions used in the income approach.

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step of the impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference. See discussion of fiscal 2009 goodwill impairment charge in the Results of Operations section in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis as well as Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company tested the recoverability of goodwill as part of its annual review with no indication of impairment. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company’s stock price was subject to significant fluctuation, which the Company believes is due to the uncertainty related to the global economy and overall stock market volatility. As a result, the Company’s market capitalization was frequently less than its net book value during the third and fourth quarters. At January 2, 2009, the Company evaluated all relevant factors and determined an interim impairment test was not necessary. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company undertook its fiscal 2010 budgeting process and at the end of the quarter, having substantially completed its budgeting process, determined that the expected cash flows for certain reporting units were significantly less than the estimated cash flows utilized in the fiscal 2009 annual impairment test. Management concluded these factors were a triggering event indicating potential impairment and performed an impairment test of goodwill as of April 3, 2009.

Based on the results of the step one interim impairment test, there was an indication that an impairment may exist for one reporting unit (CSA) and the second step was performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment for CSA goodwill was determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill. Based on the results of the interim impairment test conducted at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an $18.9 million goodwill impairment charge, equal to the carrying amount of the goodwill attributable to the CSA reporting unit. There were no other significant intangible assets attributed to the CSA reporting unit nor were any other long-lived assets attributable to that reporting unit determined to be impaired.

The reporting unit fair values determined in the step one income approach were used to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The Company performed a reconciliation of the enterprise value for the reporting units to the Company’s market capitalization and concluded that the fair value results determined for the reporting units were reasonable. The estimated market capitalization considers recent trends in market capitalization and an expected control premium, based on comparable transactional history.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates, operating margins, terminal growth rates, capital expenditures, as well as discount rates. Estimates involve the assessment of labor and other direct costs on existing contracts, estimates of overhead costs and other indirect costs, and assessments of new business prospects and projected win rates. In addition, we make certain judgments and assumptions in allocating shared assets and liabilities to determine the carrying values of each reporting unit. Although we have consistently used the same methods in developing the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value calculations, such estimates are uncertain and can vary from actual results. In light of current economic conditions, additional impairments to one or more of our reporting units could occur in future periods. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in the reporting units fair values would result in no additional reporting units failing step one.

Assumptions to determine retirement benefits costs and liabilities

We offer a number of pension and postretirement benefit and life insurance benefit plans. CSC utilizes actuarial methods required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87, as amended by SFAS No. 158 for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” to account for pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively. The actuarial methods require numerous assumptions to calculate the net periodic pension benefit expense and the related pension benefit obligation for our defined benefit pension plans. Two of the most significant assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rates. In making these assumptions, we are required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates. Changes in the related net periodic pension costs may occur in the future due to changes in these and other assumptions.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets should, over time, approximate the actual long-term returns on pension plan assets. The assumption for the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is selected by taking into account the expected duration of the projected benefit obligation for each plan, the asset mix of the plan, historic plan asset returns as well as current market conditions and other factors. The weighted-average of the expected long-term rates of return, for all plans, on plan assets utilized for the fiscal 2009 pension plan valuations was 7.8% compared to 7.9% used in fiscal 2008. Holding all other assumptions constant, a one-half percent increase or decrease in each of the assumed rates of return on plan assets would have decreased or increased, respectively, the net periodic pension cost by approximately $18.6 million.

An assumed discount rate is required to be used in each pension plan actuarial valuation. The discount rate assumption reflects the market rate for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments based on the expected duration of the benefit payments for each of our pension plans as of the annual measurement date and is subject to change each year. The weighted-average of the discount rates utilized for the fiscal 2009 pension plan valuations was 6.2% compared to 5.5% used for fiscal 2008. Holding all other assumptions constant, a one-half percent increase or decrease in each of the assumed discount rates would have decreased the net periodic pension cost by approximately $27.5 million, or increased it by approximately $39.4 million, respectively. Some portion of the increase or decrease would be moderated by cost reimbursable contracts.

The accounting guidance includes mechanisms that serve to limit the volatility in earnings which would otherwise result from recording changes in the value of plan assets and benefit obligations in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which such changes occur. For example, while the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets should, over time, approximate the actual long-term returns, differences between the expected and actual returns may occur in any given year. Such differences contribute to the deferred actuarial gains or losses which are then amortized over time. For CSC, market returns caused actual pension plan asset returns to lag those expected in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Rising discount rates in fiscal 2009, which resulted in lower benefit obligation growth, served to offset the negative impact of poor asset returns for fiscal 2009. Rising discount rates in fiscal 2008 and 2007, which resulted in lower calculated benefit obligation growth, served to partially enhance the impact of positive asset returns in fiscal 2008 and 2007.

For fiscal 2009 and 2008, SFAS No. 158 requires recognition of a pension obligation if the fair value of plan assets is less than the projected benefit obligation (PBO) at the end of the year. At the end of fiscal 2009, a number of our pension plans had PBOs in excess of the fair value of their respective plan assets, due mostly to poor pension asset performance, higher pension obligations were recognized in 2009 than in 2008. The effect of this adjustment and the annual measurement in fiscal 2009 was to increase pension liability by $626.8 million, decrease non-current asset by $21.8 million, and increase accumulated comprehensive loss by $686.9 million ($446.1 million net of taxes).

For fiscal 2008, a number of our pension plans had PBOs in excess of their plan assets’ fair value. However, due to higher discount rates, lower pension obligations were recognized in 2008 than in 2007. The effect of this adjustment and the annual measurement in fiscal 2008 was to decrease pension liability by $291.2 million, increase non-current asset by $14.6 million, and decrease accumulated comprehensive loss by $236.6 million ($171.7 million net of taxes). Based on future plan asset performance and interest rates, additional charges to equity might be required.

Assumptions and estimates used to analyze contingencies and litigation

We are subject to various claims and contingencies associated with lawsuits, insurance, tax and other issues arising out of the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements reflect the treatment of claims and contingencies based on management’s view of the expected outcome. CSC consults with legal counsel on issues related to litigation and seeks input from other experts and advisors with respect to matters in the ordinary course of business. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount is estimable, we accrue a liability in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.” Significant changes in the estimates or assumptions used in assessing the likelihood of an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rates

The Company utilizes fixed-rate long-term debt obligations, short-term commercial paper and other borrowings subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. Sensitivity analysis is one technique used to measure the impact of changes in interest rates on the value of market-risk sensitive financial instruments. A hypothetical 10% movement in interest rates would not have a material impact on the Company’s future earnings or cash flows and fair value of fixed rate debt.

Foreign Currency

As a large global organization the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts denominated in foreign currency. Potential foreign currency exposures arising from these contracts are analyzed during the contract bidding process. The Company generally manages these transactions by incurring costs to service contracts in the same currency in which revenue is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. By generally matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency risk to earnings. However, as the Company has increased its use of offshore support it has become more exposed to currency fluctuations.

The Company established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency by using foreign currency forwards to hedge intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These financial instruments are generally short term in nature with typical maturities of less than one year. In addition, the Company uses these instruments as economic hedges and not for speculative or trading purposes. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts do not qualify as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expenses. In fiscal year 2009, the Company entered into foreign currency options to manage their exposure to the economic risk from movements in the Rupee against the U.S. dollar from the Company’s offshore support base in India.

During fiscal 2009, 38.4% of the Company’s revenue was generated outside of the United States. In order to provide an assessment of the Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to determine the effects on the fair value of our hedge portfolio. Given a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies, revenue would decrease by 3.84% or $643.5 million, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies would increase revenue by 3.84% or $643.5 million. In the opinion of management, a substantial portion of this fluctuation would be offset by expenses incurred in local currency. As a result, a hypothetical 10% movement of the value of the U.S. dollar against all currencies in either direction would impact the Company’s earnings before interest and taxes by $56.8 million. This amount would be offset, in part, from the impacts of local income taxes and local currency interest expense.

At April 3, 2009, the Company had approximately $1,216.1 million of non-U.S. dollar denominated cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $32.1 million of non-U.S. dollar borrowings.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions except per-share amounts)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of Computer Sciences Corporation, its subsidiaries and those joint ventures and partnerships over which it exercises control, hereafter collectively referred to as “CSC” or “the Company.” Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, generally 20 – 50 percent ownership, are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are accounted for by the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Accounting Changes

The Company adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 158, “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R,” effective March 30, 2007. This Statement requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of single-employer defined benefit postretirement plans as assets or liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet. Changes to the funded status of the defined benefit plans are recognized in comprehensive income in the year in which the change occurs. Changes in the funded status are measured based on the projected benefit obligation for pension plans and the accumulated benefit obligation for other postretirement plans. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 were applied prospectively as of March 30, 2007, with the exception of the measurement date provision which was adopted in fiscal 2009.

SFAS No. 158 requires, beginning with fiscal 2009, that plan assets and benefit obligations be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year end. The statement provides two approaches for an employer to transition to a fiscal year-end measurement date. In the first approach, an employer re-measures plan assets and benefit obligations as of the beginning of the fiscal year that the measurement date provisions are applied. In the second approach, an employer continues to use the measurements determined for the prior fiscal year-end reporting to estimate the effects of the change. CSC has chosen to use the second approach.

Under this approach, generally known as the “15-month approach,” net periodic benefit cost for the period between the earlier measurement date and the end of the fiscal year that the measurement date provisions are applied, exclusive of any curtailment or settlement gain or loss, should be allocated proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment of retained earnings and net period benefit cost for the fiscal year that the measurement date provisions are applied. For the “gap period” between measurement date and end of fiscal year, the adjustment to retained earnings, net of taxes, at the beginning of 2009 was $24.7.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model in determining the fair value of options granted. In applying this model, the expected term was calculated based on the Company’s historical experience with respect to its stock plan activity and is representative of the period of time that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Beginning April 1, 2006, the Company determined separate assumptions for the expected term of options granted based on three separate job tier classifications which had distinct historical exercise behavior. This resulted in separate fair value calculations by job tier. The risk-free interest rate was based on the zero coupon interest rate of U.S. government issued Treasury strips with a period commensurate with the expected term of the options. In determining the overall risk-free interest rate for fiscal 2009, a range of interest rates from 1.33% to 3.53% was applied depending on the expected life of the grant. Expected volatility was based on a blended approach using an equal weighting of implied volatility and historical volatility. Historical volatility was based on the Company’s ten-year historical daily closing price. Implied volatility was based on option trading behavior for those options traded on certain exchange markets that have maturities of nine months and longer. The range of volatility used for fiscal 2009 was 35% to 49%. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were $15.82, $17.76 and $16.67 per share, respectively. In calculating the compensation expense for its stock incentive plans, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:

	Fiscal Year
	2009			2008			2007
Risk-free interest rate		3.17	%		4.58	%		4.84	%
Expected volatility		36	%		32	%		28	%
Expected lives	4.08 years			4.15 years			4.09 years

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts subject to significant judgments and estimates include, but are not limited to, costs to complete fixed price contracts, cash flows used in the evaluation of impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and certain deferred costs, collectability of receivables, reserves for uncertain tax benefits, loss accruals for litigation and pension related liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary service offerings are IT outsourcing and IT and other professional services. The Company provides these services under time and materials, cost-reimbursable, unit-price and fixed-price contracts. The form of contract, rather than the type of service offering, is the primary determinant of revenue recognition. Except as described below for certain fixed price contracts, revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services or products have been provided to the client, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

For time and materials contracts, revenue is recorded at agreed-upon billing rates at the time services are provided.

For cost-reimbursable contracts, revenue is recorded at the time costs are incurred and associated fees are recognized when probable and estimable by applying an estimated factor to costs as incurred, such factor being determined by the contract provisions and prior experience.

Revenue is recognized on unit-price contracts based on unit metrics times the agreed upon contract unit price.

Revenue on eligible fixed price contracts is recognized on the basis of the estimated percentage-of-completion. Eligible contracts include certain software development projects and fixed price arrangements with the U.S. federal government. Currently, less than eight percent of the Company’s revenues are recognized under this method. Progress towards completion is typically measured based on achievement of specified contract milestones, or other measures of progress when available, or based on costs incurred as a proportion of estimated total costs. Profit in a given period is reported at the expected profit margin to be achieved on the overall contract. This method can result in the recognition of unbilled receivables or the deferral of costs or profit on these contracts. Deferred costs may include costs related to customer change orders subject to negotiation with the customer. These deferred costs of $652.9 and $658.1 in fiscal 2009 and 2008 are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet. Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates. Revisions to the estimates at completion are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which the loss becomes evident. The provision includes estimated costs in excess of estimated revenue and any profit margin previously recognized.

The sale of proprietary software licenses typically includes multiple deliverables such as a license to use the software, post contract customer support, and services. Revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements equal to their vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value with the remainder allocated to the delivered software license element. Vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value for the undelivered elements is determined based on the price charged where each deliverable is sold separately. Revenue allocated to each element is recognized when (1) a written contract is executed, (2) the element has been delivered, (3) the fee is fixed and determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. If significant customization is required, software licensing revenue is recognized as the related software customization services are performed in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method, utilizing the output method to measure progress to completion. Costs incurred in connection with sales of proprietary software are expensed as incurred.

Client contracts may include the provision of more than one of CSC’s services. Accordingly, for applicable arrangements, revenue recognition includes the proper identification of separate units of accounting and the allocation of revenue across all elements based on relative fair values, with proper consideration given to the guidance provided by authoritative literature.

Depreciation and Amortization

The Company’s depreciation and amortization policies are as follows:

Property and Equipment:
Buildings	10 to 40 years
Computers and related equipment	3 to 5 years
Furniture and other equipment	2 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term or useful life
Software	2 to 10 years
Credit information files	10 to 20 years
Acquired contract related intangibles	Contract life and first contract renewal
Customer related intangibles	Expected customer service life
Outsourcing contract costs	Contract life, excluding option years

For financial reporting purposes, the cost of property and equipment, less applicable residual values, is depreciated using predominately the straight-line method. Depreciation commences when the specific asset is complete, installed and ready for normal use. Outsourcing contract costs and credit information files are amortized on a straight-line basis. Acquired intangible assets are amortized based on estimated undiscounted cash flow over the estimated life of the asset or on a straight line basis if cash flow cannot be reliably estimated.

Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop commercial software products after technological feasibility has been established. Costs incurred to establish technological feasibility are charged to expense as incurred. Enhancements to software products are capitalized where such enhancements extend the life or significantly expand the marketability of the products. Amortization of capitalized software development costs is determined separately for each software product. Annual amortization expense is calculated based on the greater of (a) the ratio of current gross revenues for each product to the total of current anticipated future gross revenues for the product or (b) the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product.

Unamortized capitalized software costs associated with commercial software products are regularly evaluated for impairment on a product-by-product basis by a comparison of the unamortized balance to the product’s net realizable value. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues from that product reduced by the related estimated future costs. When indications exist of a possible impairment in software, the Company assesses recoverability by reviewing undiscounted estimated cash flows associated with the software product or its related asset group and compares the total to the unamortized balance.

The Company capitalizes costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software. Internal and external costs incurred in connection with development of upgrades or enhancements that result in additional functionality are also capitalized. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software. Purchased software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software.

Outsourcing Contract Costs

Costs on outsourcing contracts, including costs incurred for bid and proposal activities, are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract are deferred and expensed over the contract life. These costs represent incremental external costs or certain specific internal costs that are directly related to the contract acquisition or transition activities. Such capitalized costs can be separated into two principal categories: contract acquisition costs and transition/set-up costs. The primary types of costs that may be capitalized include labor and related fringe benefits, subcontractor costs, travel costs, and asset premiums.

The first principal category, contract acquisition costs, consists mainly of due diligence activities after competitive selection as well as premiums paid. Premiums are amounts paid to clients in excess of the fair market value of acquired assets. Fixed assets acquired in connection with outsourcing transactions are capitalized at fair value and depreciated consistent with fixed asset policies described above. Premiums are capitalized as outsourcing contract costs and amortized over the contract life. The amortization of outsourcing contract cost premiums is accounted for as a reduction in revenue. The second principal category of capitalized outsourcing costs is transition/set-up costs. Such costs are primarily associated with installation of systems and processes.

In the event indications exist that an outsourcing contract cost balance related to a particular contract may be impaired, undiscounted estimated cash flows of the contract are projected over its remaining term, and compared to the associated asset group including the unamortized outsourcing contract cost balance. If the projected cash flows are not adequate to recover the unamortized cost balance of the asset group, the balance would be adjusted based on the contract’s fair value in the period such a determination is made. The primary indicator used to determine when impairment testing should be performed is when a contract is materially underperforming, or is expected to materially underperform in the future, as compared to the original bid model or subsequent annual budgets.

Terminations of outsourcing contracts, including transfers either back to the client or to another IT provider, prior to the end of their committed contract terms are infrequent due to the complex transition of personnel, assets, methodologies, and processes involved with outsourcing transactions. In the event of an early termination, the Company and the client, pursuant to certain contractual provisions, engage in discussions to determine the recovery of unamortized contract costs, lost profits, transfer of personnel, rights to implemented systems and processes, as well as other matters.

Acquisition Accounting and Goodwill

Under acquisition accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair market values, with the excess recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually for each reporting unit. See Notes 2 and 3 for further discussion.

Marketable Securities

The Company classifies its investments in marketable securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Based on criteria set forth in SFAS No. 115 the Company has determined all of its investment securities are to be classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. During fiscal 2008 the Company sold its remaining available-for-sale security and reclassified $2.9 ($2.2 after taxes) of unrealized gains reported as a component of stockholders’ equity as gains realized in net income. During fiscal 2007 the Company recorded $2.3 ($1.7 after taxes) of unrealized gains related to available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in other expense/(income).

Income Taxes

Accounting for income taxes requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company maintains valuation allowances when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company takes into account such factors as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of realization of a deferred tax asset.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained upon examination. Uncertain tax positions are measured based on the probabilities the uncertain tax position will be realized upon final settlement. See Note 6 – Income Taxes.

Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s investments consist of high quality securities issued by a number of institutions having high credit ratings, thereby limiting the Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk.

Capital expenditures acquired through capital lease obligations were $71.4, $40.1 and $77.2 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Capital expenditures in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $41.7, $73.6 and $123.3 as of April 3, 2009, March 28, 2008, and March 30, 2007, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows includes amortization of outsourcing contract premiums of $84.5, $87.8, and $88.4 for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, which is reported as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of income.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, other than goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, when events and circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that case, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the expected present value, in which multiple cash flow scenarios that reflect the range of possible outcomes are used to estimate fair value. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Changes in estimates of future cash flows could result in a write-down of the asset in a future period.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined local currencies are the functional currencies of its foreign operations. Accordingly, these foreign entities translate assets and liabilities from their local currencies to U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates while income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). As of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, the balance of currency translation adjustment included in AOCI was a deferred loss of $219.1 (net of taxes of $21.4) and a gain of $418.4 (net of taxes of $19.7), respectively.

The Company offsets, to the extent possible, remeasurement gains and losses on certain non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities, with forward contracts, with durations generally of 30 days or less, denominated in the same currency as the exposure from the asset or liability. The Company does not enter into forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes. Gains and losses from settlement and remeasurement of forward contracts and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are recorded in other expense (income) and were a net loss of $25.2 for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009. As of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, the notional amount of forward contracts outstanding was approximately $951 (net carrying amount was $0.5) and $983 (net carrying amount was $1.1), respectively.

Financial Instruments

With respect to financial instruments, the Company’s carrying amounts of its other current assets and liabilities were deemed to approximate their market values due to their short maturity. Following is a summary of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's significant financial instruments at April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008 (in millions):

	April 3, 2009						March 28, 2008
	Notional Amount		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value Amount		Notional Amount		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value Amount
Long-term debt (Note 9)		-	$	4,172.6	$	4,154.5		-	$	2,635.3	$	3,055.4
Foreign currency forward contracts, net asset	$	951.2		0.5		0.5	$	982.8		1.1		1.1
	$	951.2	$	4,173.1	$	4,155.0	$	982.8	$	2,636.4	$	3,056.5

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the current interest rates offered to the Company for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts represents the estimated amount required to settle the contracts using current market exchange rates.

Fair Value

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” effective March 29, 2008, for its financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has deferred the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities. Such assets and liabilities, which include the Company’s non-current assets, minority interest and other long-term liabilities, will be subject to the provision of SFAS No. 157 effective for fiscal year 2010.

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of the following valuation techniques with three levels of inputs:

Level 1—

quoted prices unadjusted for identical assets or liability in an active market;

Level 2—

inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for similar assets or liabilities; and

Level 3—

unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions which market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

(Dollars in millions except per-share amounts)

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Company’s derivative financial instruments include foreign currency forward contracts and purchased option contracts. The fair value of the Company’s forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar but not identical derivative financial instruments; as such, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs for forward contracts. Option contract valuation inputs are based on quoted pricing intervals from external valuation models and do not involve management judgment. The inputs used to value the option contracts are considered Level 2 inputs.

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 3, 2009:

	April 3, 2009		Fair Value Hierarchy
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Money market funds	$	1,190.3	$	1,190.3

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Gains and losses from hedging activities included in earnings are reported in other expense/(income) (See Note 14).

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The computation of diluted EPS does not include stock options which are antidilutive, as their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the year. The number of such options was 14,346,626, 7,577,441 and 5,214,576 for the years ended April 3, 2009, March 28, 2008, and March 30, 2007, respectively.

New Accounting Standards

There have been no significant changes in the company’s critical accounting policies during 2009.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Statement establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The portion of this statement related to the measurement of financial assets and liabilities was adopted by the Company at the beginning of fiscal 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS No. 157, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-1 and No. FAS 157-2, which exclude the lease classification measurements under SFAS No. 13 “Accounting for Leases” from the scope of SFAS No. 157 and delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-recurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until April 4, 2009. The Company believes that adoption of the portion of this statement related to non-financial assets and liabilities will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

We recognized the funded status of our benefit plans at March 30, 2007, in accordance with the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” We adopted the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 at April 3, 2009. Those provisions require the measurement date for plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year end. The effect of the measurement date change was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definition of a business and establishes the use of the “acquisition method” for business combinations which requires the measurement and recognition of all assets and liabilities (including goodwill) of an acquired business at fair value on the acquisition date, which is the date that the acquirer obtains control of the business. Among other things, the standard establishes new guidelines for the expensing of transaction and restructuring costs, fair value measurement of contingent consideration in earnings, and capitalization of in-process research and development. The standard also modifies the presentation and recording of deferred taxes and establishes the conditions under which a bargain purchase could result in a gain. SFAS No. 141(R) will be applied prospectively to business combinations with acquisition dates on or after April 4, 2009. Adoption is not expected to materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations directly when it becomes effective, as the only impact that the standard will have on recorded amounts at that time relates to disposition of uncertain tax positions related to prior acquisitions. Following adoption, the resolution of such items at values that differ from recorded amounts will be adjusted through earnings, rather than through goodwill. Adoption of this statement is, however, expected to have a significant effect on how acquisition transactions subsequent to April 3, 2009, are reflected in the financial statements.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1 to amend the application of Statement 141(R) to assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. The FSP’s amendments to the guidance in Statement 141(R) establish a model similar to the one entities used under Statement 141 to account for pre-acquisition contingencies. Under the FSP, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition date fair value cannot be determined, the acquirer applies the recognition criteria in FAS 5 and FASB Interpretation 14 to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. The FSP is effective prospectively for business combinations whose acquisition date is on or after April 4, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 requires presentation of non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries separately within equity in the consolidated statements of financial position as well as the separate presentation within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income attributable to the parent and non-controlling interest. Accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest will generally be at fair value and, if the parent retains control or significant influence of the subsidiary, any adjustments will be made through equity, while transactions where control changes will be accounted for through earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company beginning April 4, 2009. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations when it becomes effective, but may significantly affect the accounting for noncontrolling (or minority) interests from that date forward.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” which amends SFAS 132(R), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,” to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ pension plan assets, obligations, benefit payments, contributions and net benefit cost and other postretirement benefits. The requirements of this statement, which only pertain to disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, are effective for CSC’s fiscal 2010.

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after April 3, 2009, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 2—Acquisitions

During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, CSC acquired two separate privately held entities for approximately $37.5 cash, plus additional consideration of up to $19 contingent on achievement of agreed revenue targets for calendar years 2009 and 2010. When the contingency is resolved and consideration is distributable, the Company will record the fair value of the consideration as an additional cost of the acquisitions. The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations have been included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisitions was allocated to the net assets acquired based on preliminary estimates of fair values at the date of acquisition. Based on preliminary estimates, $25.9 has been allocated to goodwill, of which $17.2 was allocated to the North American Public Sector (NPS) segment and $8.7 to the Business Solutions and Services (BS&S) – Consulting segment. The goodwill is tax deductible for US federal income tax purposes. These preliminary estimates will be finalized no later than third quarter of fiscal 2010. Additionally, $8.2 was allocated to identifiable intangible assets, which are primarily customer related intangibles (estimated useful life of five to six years).

Note 2—Acquisitions (continued)

On May 28, 2008, CSC finalized a scheme of arrangement to acquire the 49% of Computer Systems Advisers (M) Berhad (CSAM) not owned by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CSA Holding, Ltd. The arrangement allows for better integration of similar business between CSAM and CSC’s other operations. The purchase price of the remaining interest was approximately $63. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. Revenue from the acquired interest has been reflected in the consolidated statements of income given the Company’s previous majority ownership. The Company’s purchase of the remaining interest of CSAM resulted in approximately $17.5 allocated to goodwill, $8.3 to BS&S – Other, and $9.2 to Global Outsourcing Services (GOS), during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The goodwill was not tax-deductible for US federal income tax purposes.

The pro forma impact on net income and earnings per share for the fiscal 2009 acquisitions has not been disclosed for the current or comparable prior periods, as the acquisitions are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate to the financial statements as a whole.

On January 11, 2008, CSC acquired all outstanding shares of First Consulting Group (FCG), a publicly-held U.S. corporation, in an all-cash transaction for $13.00 per share, or approximately $275 net of acquired cash. FCG is a professional services firm focused on healthcare and technology. FCG clients include healthcare providers, health plans, government healthcare, pharmaceutical companies, life sciences organizations, independent software vendors and other clients both within healthcare and in other industries. The acquisition of FCG increased the Company’s healthcare capabilities, offerings, and presence in the United States, Europe and Asia.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, FCG’s results of operations have been included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired based on fair values at the date of acquisition. Based on the estimates of fair value, $27 was allocated to identifiable intangible assets and $221 was allocated to goodwill. Of the $27 allocated to identifiable intangible assets, $3 was assigned to internally developed software (estimated useful life of five years), and $24 allocated to customer related intangibles (estimated useful life of three years). The amount of goodwill is primarily attributable to the increased delivery capabilities and penetration of certain industry segments, particularly healthcare, anticipated to be provided by the acquisition as described above. Of the $221 goodwill recognized, $154 was assigned to the BS&S Consulting segment and $67 was assigned to GOS segment in 2008. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Note 2 – Acquisitions (continued)

As a result of the FCG acquisition on January 11, 2008, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur future costs to consolidate facilities, involuntarily terminate employees and other costs to integrate FCG into the Company. GAAP requires that these costs, which are not associated with the generation of future revenues and have no future economic benefit, be reflected as assumed liabilities in the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired. The facility consolidations relate to the rationalization of FCG office and data center space in the U.S. where space will be vacated and subleased if possible. Involuntary terminations relate to approximately 68 FCG employees. As of April 3, 2009, all the 68 employees have been terminated. The components of the acquisition integration liabilities included in the purchase price allocation for FCG are presented in the following table.

On July 2, 2007, CSC acquired all the outstanding shares of Covansys Corporation (Covansys), a publicly held U.S. global consulting and technology services company headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for a cash purchase price of approximately $34.00 per share, or approximately $1.3 billion net of acquired cash. The acquisition extends CSC’s ability to offer strategic outsourcing and technology solutions in the healthcare, financial services, retail and distribution, manufacturing, telecommunications and high-tech industries. The acquisition of Covansys increased the Company’s delivery capabilities in India and accelerated development of strategic offshore offerings.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and accordingly, Covansys’ results of operations have been included with the Company’s from the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. Based on the estimates of fair value, approximately $176 was allocated to the following identifiable intangible assets including customer relationships at $148, contract backlog $26, internally developed software $1 and trademark/trade name $1, with estimated useful lives of 16, 10, 5 and .5 years, respectively. Approximately $1.1 billion was allocated to goodwill. The amount of goodwill is primarily attributable to the increased delivery capabilities and penetration of certain industry segments anticipated to be provided by the acquisition as described above. The goodwill recognized of $1.1 billion was assigned to the BS&S – Other and GOS reportable segments, none of which is deductible for tax purposes.

Note 3—Goodwill

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, as of the first day of the second fiscal quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill has been assigned to 12 reporting units for the purposes of impairment testing. Reporting units are defined as operating segments or groupings of businesses one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is available and for which segment management regularly reviews the operating results.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and reductions in growth rates. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company tested the recoverability of goodwill as part of its annual review with no indication of impairment. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company’s stock price fluctuated, which the Company believes was due to the uncertainty related to the global economy and overall stock market volatility. As a result, the Company’s market capitalization was frequently less than its net book value during the third and fourth quarters. At January 2, 2009, the Company evaluated all relevant factors and determined an interim impairment test was not necessary. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company undertook its fiscal 2010 budgeting process and at the end of the quarter, having substantially completed its budgeting process, determined that the expected cash flows for certain reporting units were significantly less than the estimated cash flows utilized in the fiscal 2009 annual impairment test. Management concluded these factors were a triggering event indicating potential impairment and performed an impairment test of goodwill.

Note 3—Goodwill (continued)

The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. If a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment of goodwill may exist. The Company estimates the fair value of each reporting unit utilizing an income approach, which incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow method. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for each reporting unit are discounted to a present value using a weighted average cost of capital. In estimating the fair value of the reporting units, the Company applied discount rates ranging from 10-13%, based on the specific risk characteristics of each reporting unit. The Company’s cash flow projections use management’s estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.

The fair values of reporting units estimated using the income approach were assessed for reasonableness by comparing those values to fair value estimates derived using a market approach. A market approach estimates fair value by applying performance metric multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting units. If the fair value of the reporting unit derived using the market approach were significantly different from the fair value estimated in the income approach, the Company would reevaluate and adjust the assumptions used in the income approach.

If the carrying value of the reporting unit is higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference.

Based on the results of the interim step-one impairment test, there was an indication of impairment for one reporting unit (CSA) and the second step was performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. The amount of impairment of CSA goodwill was determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill. Based on this review, the Company recorded an $18.9 goodwill impairment charge, equal to the carrying amount of the goodwill attributable to the CSA reporting unit. There were no other significant intangible assets attributed to the CSA reporting nor were any other long-lived assets attributable to that reporting unit determined to be impaired. The CSA reporting unit is a value-added reseller and provider of installation, warranty and maintenance services for IT equipment and is included in the BS&S – Other reportable segment.

Note 5 – Special Items (continued)

As previously announced in a Form 8-K filed on May 25, 2007, the Company and its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Van B. Honeycutt, entered into a retirement agreement pursuant to which Mr. Honeycutt resigned as Chief Executive Officer effective May 21, 2007, and as Chairman July 30, 2007, and received, as a separation benefit, a lump sum cash payment of $11.2 on January 31, 2008. Mr. Honeycutt will receive certain other benefits through December 3, 2009. As a result of Mr. Honeycutt’s retirement, recognition of the expense associated with his unvested stock-based compensation was accelerated resulting in stock-based compensation of $12.2, of which $10.4 was recorded in special items and $1.8 was recorded as additional paid in capital. The total pre-tax charge recorded in special items, including the lump sum cash payment and other benefits and the charge for accelerated vesting of employee stock-based compensation, was $22.4 ($13.6 net of tax).

Restructuring

In April 2006, the Company announced a restructuring plan to be carried out during fiscal 2007 and 2008. The objectives of the plan were to (1) streamline CSC’s worldwide operations, and (2) leverage the increased use of lower cost global resources. Restructuring charges consist predominantly of severance and related employee payments resulting from terminations. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company evaluated facility consolidation opportunities and other areas where operations could be streamlined and costs reduced consistent with the plan objectives, resulting in additional lease termination, asset impairment and other charges.

Workforce reductions, including some voluntary terminations, in fiscal 2008 and 2007 were approximately 1,400 and 4,400, respectively.

Termination-related charges were $110.7 in fiscal 2008 compared to termination-related charges of $294.3 in fiscal 2007. Other costs, which were primarily related to vacant space, of $22.7 were also recorded during fiscal 2008 compared to $39.1 in 2007. The restructuring charge in fiscal 2008 was incurred in the Global Outsourcing Services, BS&S − Consulting, BS&S − Financial Services Sector and BS&S − Other reporting segments. Restructuring charges of $333.4 were recorded in fiscal 2007.

A majority of the planned headcount reductions took place in Europe. For fiscal 2008, European headcount decreased by approximately 900 compared to 3,000 in fiscal 2007. Approximately 300 reductions were made in North America in fiscal 2008 compared to 1,100 in fiscal 2007. The balance of the reductions occurred in Australia and Asia.

Restructuring-related pre-tax cash payments of approximately $67.6 were made in fiscal 2009, compared to restructuring-related pre-tax cash payments of approximately $180.4 and $207.2 in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. Included in the restructuring charges are pension benefit augmentations that are due to certain employees in accordance with legal or contractual obligations, which will be paid out over several years as part of normal pension distributions. Such liabilities are included in the consolidated pension liability account.

Income tax related assets are included in the accompanying balance sheets as follows. Prepaid expenses and other current assets include the current portion of deferred income taxes of $10.1 and $10.5 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively. Receivables include income taxes receivable of $8.0 and $104.9 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively. Other assets include non-current deferred income tax assets of $168.5 and $126.5 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively.

Income tax related liabilities are included in the accompanying balance sheets as follows. Income taxes payable and deferred income taxes consist of the current portion of deferred tax liabilities of $259.2 and $213.2 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively, the current portion of income taxes payable of $39.8 and $0.0 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively, and liability for uncertain tax positions of $18.2 and $201.8 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively. Income tax liabilities and deferred income taxes included in non-current liabilities consist of non-current liability for uncertain tax positions of $485.6 and $1,235.6 as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively.

The increase to the valuation allowance for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2009, of $17.7 relates primarily to the Company’s termination of a foreign jurisdiction’s operations in the United States. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. Valuation allowances are evaluated periodically and will be subject to change in each future reporting period as a result of changes in one or more of these factors.

Item 6—Income Taxes (continued)

At April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, the Company has available unused foreign net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $726.9 and $1,612.2, U.S. Branch NOL carryforwards of $163.8 and $21.8, and state NOL carryforwards of $717.4 and $837.1, respectively. In addition, at April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $12.8 and $10.2 and state credit carryforwards of $61.2 and $47.4, respectively. As of April 3, 2009, the foreign NOL carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, except for $214.7 which expire at various dates through 2019. As of April 3, 2009, the state NOL and credit carryforwards expire at various dates through 2029.

The Company is currently the beneficiary of tax holiday incentives in India which expire in fiscal year 2010. As a result of the tax holiday incentives, the Company’s tax expense was reduced by approximately $28.0, $15.6 and $7.2 during fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The cumulative undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were approximately $1,287.0 as of April 3, 2009. As the Company intends to permanently reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes that may become payable upon the distribution of such earnings or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The determination of the additional deferred taxes that have not been provided is not practicable.

As a result of the conclusion of the IRS examination and the filing of accounting method changes, the Company recorded reductions of approximately $929.3 million in the liability for uncertain tax positions, including a reduction in accrued interest and penalties of $341.4 and a decrease in tax carryforwards of $101.8. Of the $689.7 reductions in liability for uncertain tax positions, $479.0 relates to prior year decreases and $210.7 relates to settlements.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109," effective March 31, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of liabilities for uncertain tax positions, interest and penalties.

Note 6—Income Taxes (continued)

As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company adjusted the estimated value of its uncertain tax positions by recognizing additional liabilities totaling $171.4 as a reduction to earnings retained for use in business and $1.5 as an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, the estimated value of the Company’s uncertain tax positions was a liability of $1,414.8 resulting from unrecognized net tax benefits including interest and penalties of $370.2 and is net of $249.1 of related tax carryforwards. Of the $1,414.8 liability for uncertain tax positions, $344.7 was recorded in current liabilities as income taxes payable and deferred income taxes, and approximately $1,070.1 was recorded in non-current liabilities as income tax liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

As of April 3, 2009, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions was $503.8, including interest of $81.3, penalties of $28.7 and net of tax carryforwards of $49.4. As of March 28, 2008, the estimated value of the Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions was $1,437.4, including interest of $288.8 and penalties of $147.6 and net of tax carryforwards of $349.3.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s uncertain tax positions (excluding interest and penalties and related tax carryforwards):

	Fiscal Year Ended
	2009			2008
Balance at beginning of fiscal year	$	1,350.3		$	1,293.7
Gross increases related to prior year tax positions		88.2			60.3
Gross decreases related to prior year tax positions		(797.4	)		(229.0	)
Gross increases related to current year tax positions		39.8			162.2
Settlements		(211.1	)		(4.7	)
Foreign exchange and others		(28.0	)		67.8
Balance at end of fiscal year	$	441.8		$	1,350.3

The Company’s liability for uncertain tax positions at April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively, includes $304.9 and $627.0 related to amounts that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate (excluding related interest and penalties).

Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company’s policy was to classify penalties as an operating expense and interest on tax overpayments and underpayments as interest in arriving at pretax income. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company elected to change its accounting policy and classify interest and penalties related to overpayments, underpayments and uncertain tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company had accrued $211.0 of interest and $159.2 of penalties related to income tax matters. During the year ended April 3, 2009, the Company accrued an interest benefit of $207.8 ($128.7 net of tax) and had a net release of penalties of $119.1, and as of April 3, 2009, has recognized a liability for interest of $81.3 ($52.2 net of tax) and penalties of $28.7. During the year ended March 28, 2008, the Company accrued interest of $77.8 ($47.0 net of tax) and had a net release of penalties of $11.6, and as of March 28, 2008, had recognized a liability for interest of $288.8 ($174.6 net of tax) and penalties of $147.6.

Note 6—Income Taxes (continued)

Tax Examination Status

The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions. A summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in certain of the Company’s major tax jurisdictions are:

Jurisdiction:		Tax Years Subject to Examination (Fiscal Year Ending):
United States – federal		2005 and forward
United States – Various States		2001 and forward
Canada		2004 and forward
France		2005 and forward
Germany		2001 and forward
United Kingdom		2007 and forward

It is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months the Company may settle certain tax examinations, have lapses in statutes of limitations, or voluntarily settle income tax positions in negotiated settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. Conclusion of the above matters could result in settlements for different amounts than the Company has accrued as uncertain tax positions. If a position for which the Company concluded was more likely than not and was subsequently not upheld, then the Company may need to accrue and ultimately pay an additional amount. Conversely, the Company could settle positions with the tax authorities for amounts lower than have been accrued or extinguish a position through payment. The Company believes the outcomes which are reasonably possible within the next twelve months may result in a reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $35.2, excluding interest, penalties and tax carryforwards.

Note 7—Receivables

Receivables consist of the following:

	April 3, 2009		March 28, 2008
Billed trade accounts	$	2,233.1	$	2,516.2
Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress		1,478.9		1,799.8
Other receivables		74.4		248.7
Total	$	3,786.4	$	4,564.7

As of April 3, 2009, no billed trade accounts receivable were unpaid for long-term contracts under retainage provisions.

Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress generally become billable upon completion of a specified contract, negotiation of contract modifications, completion of government audit activities, achievement of project milestones or upon acceptance by the customer. Unbilled recoverable amounts under contracts in progress include amounts for long-term contracts of $393.6, including $257.8 which is expected to be collected during fiscal 2010 and $135.8 which is expected to be collected within fiscal 2011 and thereafter.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency

As a large global organization the Company faces exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain contracts denominated in foreign currency. Potential foreign currency exposures arising from these contracts are analyzed during the contract bidding process. The Company generally manages these transactions by incurring costs to service contracts in the same currency in which revenue is received. Short-term contract financing requirements are met by borrowing in the same currency. By generally matching revenues, costs and borrowings to the same currency, the Company has been able to substantially mitigate foreign currency risk to earnings. However, as business practices evolve the Company is increasing its use of offshore support and is therefore becoming more exposed to currency fluctuations.

The Company established policies and procedures to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency by using foreign currency contracts, generally forwards or options, to hedge certain intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies and certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. These foreign currency contracts are generally short term in nature with typical maturities of less than one year. In addition, the Company uses these contracts as economic hedges and not for speculative or trading purposes. For accounting purposes, these foreign currency contracts do not qualify as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expenses. In fiscal year 2009, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to manage exposure to the economic risk from movements in the Rupee against the U.S. dollar from the Company’s offshore support base in India. As of April 3, 2009, the notional amount of the foreign currency contracts outstanding was approximately $951.2.

As a result of the use of derivative instruments, the Company is subject to counterparty credit risks. The Company enters into numerous types of financing arrangements with a wide array of counterparties, including foreign currency forward contracts and purchased options. To monitor this risk the Company enters into contracts with only large financial institutions and regularly reviews its credit exposure balances and the creditworthiness of the counterparty. As of April 3, 2009, the Company is not aware of any significant changes related to the counterparty credit risk noted above.

Note 9—Debt

Short-term

The Company’s commercial paper program is backed by a $1.5 billion multi-year committed revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) which expires on July 12, 2012. Outstanding commercial paper is classified as short term obligations on the balance sheet. On October 22, 2008, the Company borrowed an uncollateralized $1.5 billion under the Credit Facility and such borrowings carry an aggregate rate of 4.05% as of April 3, 2009. At April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, the Company had $0 and $262.9, commercial paper outstanding respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s commercial paper borrowings was 5.1% for the year ended March 28, 2008. As of April 3, 2009, none of the Company’s debt is collateralized by the Company’s assets.

The Company had $32.1 and $46.6 of borrowings outstanding under its uncommitted lines of credit with certain foreign banks, as of April 3, 2009, and March 28, 2008, respectively. CSC has provided parent guarantees for these short-term lines of credit which carry no commitment fees or significant covenants. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under these short-term lines of credit was 4.1% at April 3, 2009, and 3.9% at March 28, 2008.

Note 9—Debt (continued)

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain customers and potential customers with financial performance guarantees, which are generally backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of its obligations, the probability of which is remote in management’s opinion. The Company is in compliance with the performance obligations under all service contracts for which there is a performance guarantee, and any liability incurred in connection with these guarantees would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. In addition, the Company has other guarantees that represent parent guarantees in support of working capital credit lines established with local financial institutions for its foreign business units.

The following table summarizes the expiration of the Company’s financial guarantees outstanding as of April 3, 2009.

Note 10–Share Repurchase Program

On June 29, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $2,000. The share repurchase program included two accelerated share repurchase transactions, an accelerated share repurchase transaction and a collared accelerated share repurchase transaction, as well as a 10b5-1 share repurchase plan. In connection with the 10b5-1 share repurchase plan the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co. to acquire up to an additional $1.03 billion in market value of outstanding common stock through open market repurchase transactions. The share repurchase plan was completed during fiscal 2008. Under the plan the Company acquired approximately 21.7 million shares for $1.03 billion for an average price per share of $47.49 during fiscal 2008. The acquired shares were retired with common stock, paid-in capital and retained earnings reduced by $21.6, $235.1 and $771.6, respectively.

Note 10–Share Repurchase Program (continued)

In connection with the accelerated share repurchase transactions portion of the share repurchase program, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement and a collared accelerated share repurchase agreement with Goldman, Sachs & Co on June 29, 2006. Under the accelerated share repurchase agreement, which was effective as of June 29, 2006, the Company acquired 9.3 million shares of common stock on June 29, 2006, from Goldman, Sachs & Co for $500. Under the collared accelerated share repurchase transaction, which was effective July 5, 2006, the Company received an initial minimum delivery of common stock outstanding of 7.1 million shares for a payment of $500. The transactions were accounted for as a share retirement with common stock, paid-in capital and retained earnings reduced by $16.4, $152.6 and $831.0, respectively. The accelerated share repurchase agreement was settled on July 6, 2007, and the Company received $28.7 in final settlement. The collared accelerated share repurchase agreement was settled during July 2007, and the Company received an additional 2.7 million shares as final settlement of the transaction. The final settlement of these transactions reduced common stock $2.7, reduced paid-in capital $28.2, and increased retained earnings $59.4.

Note 11 — Pension and Other Benefit Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a number of pension and postretirement benefit, life insurance benefit, deferred compensation, and other plans, as described below.

A contributory, defined benefit pension plan is generally available to U.S. employees. Certain non-U.S. employees are enrolled in defined benefit pension plans in the country of domicile. In addition, the Company has two supplemental executive retirement plans (SERP), which are nonqualified, noncontributory pension plans. The Company provides subsidized healthcare and life insurance retirement benefits for certain U.S. employees, generally for those employed prior to August 1992, as well as dental and prescription drug benefits for certain Canadian employees. Most employees outside the U.S. are covered by government sponsored programs at no direct cost to the Company other than related payroll taxes.

CSC utilizes actuarial methods required by SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” to recognize the expense for pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively. CSC has implemented SFAS No. 132(R) (as modified by SFAS No. 158), “Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” for financial statement disclosures. Inherent in the application of these actuarial methods are key assumptions, including, but not limited to, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return on plan assets. Changes in the related pension and other postretirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in the underlying assumptions, changes in the number and composition of plan participants and changes in the level of benefits provided.

In accordance with SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” CSC measured its pension and other postretirement benefit plans at fiscal year-end starting with fiscal 2009. Prior to fiscal 2009, the majority of the pension and postretirement benefit plans were measured at December 31.

Note 11 — Pension and Other Benefit Plans (continued)

The net periodic pension cost for U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans included the following components:

	U.S. Plans									Non-U.S. Plans
	2009			2008			2007			2009			2008			2007
Service cost	$	115.6		$	119.6		$	128.2		$	49.3		$	57.9		$	64.2
Interest cost		148.8			130.0			115.4			106.4			120.7			102.2
Expected return on assets		(171.4	)		(152.6	)		(132.6	)		(119.1	)		(143.7	)		(121.4	)
Amortization of transition obligation											1.2			1.3			1.2
Amortization of prior service costs		.9			.4			3.4			.7			.8			(1.1	)
Amortization of unrecognized net loss		3.4			14.6			16.0			11.3			21.2			15.4
Settlement/curtailment		(.8	)					(.5	)					3.0			.7
Special termination benefits/other costs														5.7			5.7
Net periodic pension cost	$	96.5		$	112.0		$	129.9		$	49.8		$	66.9		$	66.9

The estimated net transitional obligation, prior service cost and actuarial loss for defined benefit plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic pension cost over the next fiscal year are $1.1, $1.5 and $40.8, respectively.

The weighted-averages of the assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost were:

	U.S. Plans									Non-U.S. Plans
	2009			2008			2007			2009			2008			2007
Discount or settlement rates		6.6	%		6.0	%		5.9	%		5.5	%		5.0	%		4.9	%
Expected long-term rates of return on assets		8.5	%		8.5	%		8.5	%		6.8	%		7.2	%		7.0	%
Rates of increase in compensation levels		4.3	%		4.2	%		4.4	%		3.4	%		3.6	%		3.5	%

The discount rate assumption reflects the market rate for high-quality, fixed income debt instruments as of our annual measurement date and is therefore subject to change each year. The required use of an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets may result in recognized plan income that differs from the actual return on those plan assets in any given year. Over time, the actual long-term rate of return on plan assets is expected to approximate the return assumption utilized. Differences between expected and actual returns are recognized in the calculation of net periodic pension cost. Rates of increase in compensation levels and other assumptions, such as turnover and life expectancy, also impact pension calculations.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is selected by first identifying the expected range of long-term rates of return for each major asset class. Expected long-term rates of return consider long-term historical averages as well as current expectations of future returns. Consideration is given to the extent active management is employed in each class. A single expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is then calculated by weighing each class.

Note 11 — Pension and Other Benefit Plans (continued)

The asset allocation of pension plans at April 3, 2009, and December 31, 2007, respectively, is as follows:

	U.S. Plans						Non-U.S. Plans
Asset Category	April 3, 2009			Dec. 31, 2007			April 3, 2009			Dec. 31, 2007
Equity securities		74	%		72	%		59	%		63	%
Debt securities		26	%		28	%		31	%		26	%
Other								10	%		11	%
Total		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

The Company’s investment strategy for plan assets takes into account a number of factors, including the time horizon of the pension plans’ obligations. For each of the largest plans, an allocation range by asset class is developed. The allocation had a significant weighting for equity investments in part due to the relatively long duration of the plans’ obligations. Third party investment managers are employed to invest assets in both passively-indexed and actively-managed strategies. The Company’s allocation range for its largest plan was 59-79% equities, 21-31% debt securities and 0-10% cash and other investments. The Company typically used cash flow from employer and employee contributions to help keep allocations within the range. The Company also has investments in insurance contracts to pay plan benefits in certain countries. The allocation above does not include certain amounts that are included in the fair value of assets such as cash awaiting investment or asset transfer receivable amounts from other plans.

Information about the expected cash flows for pension plans as of April 3, 2009, is as follows:

	Pension Plans
	U.S.		Non-U.S.
	Plans		Plans
Employer contributions
2010	$	95	$	70
Expected Benefit Payments
2010	$	110	$	60
2011		115		65
2012		120		70
2013		130		75
2014		140		85
2015-2019		830		505

No plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company in the next fiscal year.

On May 20, 2009, the Company announced an action to discontinue the accrual of future benefits of the Computer Sciences Corporation Employee Pension Plan for most plan participants. The estimated effect of this action is reflected in the expected employer contributions for fiscal year 2010.
