PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
CA, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of CA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 23, 2008, which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption, effective April 1, 2007, of the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 and an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s change, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, of its method of accounting for accounts receivable and unearned revenue on billed and uncollected amounts due from customers from a “net method of presentation” to a “gross method of presentation,” we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CA, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results.

Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (2008 Form 10-K).

Basis of Revenue Recognition:

The Company generates revenue from the following primary sources: (1) licensing software products; (2) providing customer technical support (referred to as “maintenance”); and (3) providing professional services, such as consulting and education. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

The Company recognizes revenue pursuant to the requirements of Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition,” issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.” In accordance with SOP 97-2, the Company begins to recognize revenue from licensing and maintenance when all of the following criteria are met: (1) the Company has evidence of an arrangement with a customer; (2) the Company delivers the products; (3) license agreement terms are fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or uncertainties that may alter the agreement such that it may not be complete and final; and (4) collection is probable.

The Company’s software licenses generally do not include acceptance provisions. An acceptance provision allows a customer to test the software for a defined period of time before committing to license the software. If a license agreement includes an acceptance provision, the Company does not recognize revenue until the earlier of the receipt of a written customer acceptance or, if not notified by the customer to cancel the license agreement, the expiration of the acceptance period.

Under the Company’s subscription model, implemented in October 2000, software license agreements typically combine the right to use specified software products, the right to maintenance, and the right to receive unspecified future software products for no additional fee during the term of the agreement. Under these subscription licenses, once all four of the above-noted revenue recognition criteria are met, the Company is required under GAAP to recognize revenue ratably over the term of the license agreement.

For license agreements signed prior to October 2000, once all four of the above-noted revenue recognition criteria were met, software license fees were recognized as revenue generally when the software was delivered to the customer, or “up-front” (as the contracts did not include a right to unspecified future software products), and the maintenance fees were deferred and subsequently recognized as revenue over the term of the license. Under the Company’s current business model, a relatively small amount of the Company’s revenue from software licenses is recognized on an up-front basis, subject to meeting the same revenue recognition criteria in accordance with SOP 97-2 as described above. Software fees from such licenses are recognized up-front and are reported in the “Software fees and other” line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance fees from such licenses are recognized ratably over the term of the license and are recorded on the “Subscription and maintenance revenue” line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. License agreements with software fees that are

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(unaudited)

recognized up-front do not include the right to receive unspecified future software products. However, in the event such license agreements are executed within close proximity to or in contemplation of other license agreements that are signed under the Company’s subscription model with the same customer, the licenses together may be considered a single multi-element agreement, and all such revenue is required to be recognized ratably and is recorded as “Subscription and maintenance revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Since the Company implemented its subscription model in October 2000, the Company’s practice with respect to newly acquired products with established vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value has been to record revenue initially on the acquired company’s systems, generally under an up-front model; and, starting within the first fiscal year after the acquisition, to enter new licenses for such products under the Company’s subscription model, following which revenue is recognized ratably and recorded as “Subscription and maintenance revenue.” In some instances, the Company sells newly developed and recently acquired products on an up-front model. The software license fees from these contracts are presented as “Software fees and other.” Selling such licenses under an up-front model may result in higher total revenue in a current reporting period than if such licenses were based on the Company’s subscription model and the associated revenue recognized ratably.

Revenue from professional service arrangements is generally recognized as the services are performed. Revenue from committed professional services that are sold as part of a subscription license agreement is deferred and recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the related software license. If it is not probable that a project will be completed or the payment will be received, revenue recognition is deferred until the uncertainty is removed.

Revenue from sales to distributors, resellers, and value-added resellers commences when all four of the SOP 97-2 revenue recognition criteria noted above are met and when these entities sell the software product to their customers. This is commonly referred to as the sell-through method. Revenue from the sale of products to distributors, resellers and value-added resellers that include licensing terms that provide the right for the end-users to receive certain unspecified future software products is recognized on a ratable basis.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company decided that certain products sold through tier two distributors will no longer be licensed with terms entitling the customer to receive unspecified future software products. As such, license revenue from these sales where the Company has established VSOE for maintenance is recognized on an up-front basis using the residual method and is reflected as “Software fees and other,” with maintenance revenue being deferred and recognized ratably.

For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.

Cash Dividends:

In September 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend totaled approximately $20 million and was paid on September 30, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 22, 2008. In June 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend totaled approximately $21 million and was paid on June 27, 2008 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 17, 2008.

In September 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend totaled approximately $21 million and was paid on September 26, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 12, 2007. In June 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend totaled approximately $21 million and was paid on June 29, 2007 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 22, 2007.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities:

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in numerous locations throughout the world, with approximately 65% residing outside the United States at September 30, 2008. Marketable securities were approximately $1 million at both September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Restricted Cash:

The Company’s insurance subsidiary requires a minimum restricted cash balance of $50 million. In addition, the Company has other restricted cash balances, including cash collateral for letters of credit. The total amount of restricted cash was approximately $57 million and $62 million as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively, and is included in the “Other noncurrent assets, net” line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Revenue (Billed or Collected):

The Company accounts for unearned revenue on billed amounts due from customers on a “gross method” of presentation. Under the gross method, unearned revenue on billed installments (collected or uncollected) is reported as deferred revenue in the liability section of the balance sheet. The components of “Deferred revenue (billed or collected) — current” and “Deferred revenue (billed or collected) — noncurrent” as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 are as follows:

		September 30,				March 31,
		2008				2008
		(in millions)
Current:
Subscription and maintenance		$	1,978			$	2,455
Professional services			160				166
Financing obligations			35				43
Total deferred revenue (billed or collected) — current			2,173				2,664
Noncurrent:
Subscription and maintenance			960				1,001
Professional services			22				22
Financing obligations			9				13
Total deferred revenue (billed or collected) - noncurrent			991				1,036
Total deferred revenue (billed or collected)		$	3,164			$	3,700

Deferred revenue (billed or collected) excludes unrealized revenue from contractual obligations that will be billed by the Company in future periods.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of marketable securities, derivatives and accounts receivable. Amounts included in accounts receivable expected to be collected from customers, as disclosed in Note E, “Trade and Installment Accounts Receivable,” have limited exposure to concentration of credit risk due to the diverse customer base and geographic areas covered by operations. Unbilled amounts due under the Company’s prior business model that are expected to be collected from customers include one large IT outsourcer with a license arrangement that extends through fiscal year 2012 with a net unbilled receivable balance of approximately $278 million.

Prior to fiscal 2001, we sold individual accounts receivable from certain financing institutions to a third party subject to certain recourse provisions. The outstanding principal balance subject to recourse of these receivables approximated $51 million and $81 million as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has established a liability for the fair value of the recourse provision of approximately $3 million associated with these receivables.

Statement of Cash Flows:

For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, interest payments were $57 million and $69 million, respectively, and income taxes paid were $137 million and $170 million, respectively.

In June 2007, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase program (ASR) with a third-party financial institution and paid $500 million to repurchase shares of its common stock. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company purchased approximately 16.9 million shares under the ASR. Based on the terms of the agreement between the Company and the third-party financial institution, the Company received approximately 3.0 million additional shares of its common stock at the conclusion of the program in November 2007 at no additional cost. The average price paid under the Accelerated Share Repurchase program was $25.13 per share and total shares repurchased were approximately 19.9 million. The $500 million paid in June 2007 under the ASR is included in cash used in financing activities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six-month period ended September 30, 2007 and is recorded as treasury stock in the stockholders’ equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008.

Non-cash financing activities for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 consisted of treasury shares issued in connection with the following: share-based incentive awards issued under the Company’s equity compensation plans of approximately $52 million (net of approximately $25 million of withholding taxes) and $35 million (net of approximately $15 million of withholding taxes), respectively; the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan of approximately $17 million in each period; and discretionary stock contributions to the CA, Inc. Savings Harvest Plan of approximately $19 million and $22 million, respectively.

Adoption of new accounting principles:

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as modified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,” and FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FSP FAS 157-1 removes leasing from the scope of SFAS No. 157. FSP FAS 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 from the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2010 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).

The provisions of SFAS No. 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 were applied prospectively to fair value measurements and disclosures for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The adoption of these Statements did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position for the first half of fiscal year 2009. While the Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position in subsequent reporting periods, the Company will continue to monitor any additional implementation guidance that is issued that addresses the fair value measurements for certain financial assets, and non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities not disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis as required by SFAS No. 157.

Refer to Note G, “Fair Value and Derivatives,” for additional information regarding the assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the Company’s financial statements.

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(unaudited)

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. In accordance with SFAS No. 159 implementation options, the Company chose not to elect the fair value option for its financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously measured at fair value. Therefore, material financial assets and liabilities, such as the Company’s short and long-term debt obligations, are reported at their historical carrying amounts.

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company elected to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position for the first half of fiscal year 2009.

Refer to Note G, “Fair Value and Derivatives,” for additional information regarding the assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassification and revisions:

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation as described below.

Effective with the filing of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K, the Company modified its financial statements to identify certain costs of sales on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company added a new line item entitled “Costs of licensing and maintenance,” which includes technical support costs (previously reported as part of “Product development and enhancements”), royalties (previously reported as part of “Commissions, royalties and bonuses”), and other manufacturing and distribution costs (previously included within “Selling, general and administrative”). The Company also added line items for “Selling and marketing” costs and “General and administrative” expenses, moving the costs as applicable to these new line items from the prior line items entitled “Selling, general and administrative” costs and “Commissions, royalties and bonuses”.

Effective with the filing of the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company refined the classification of certain costs reported on its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to better reflect the allocation of various expenses to the new line items and to better align the Company’s reported financial statements with the Company’s internal view of its business performance. To maintain consistency and comparability, the Company reclassified prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations presentation. These expense reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total expenses or total revenue.

The following table summarizes the expense section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the reported prior periods indicated, giving effect to the reclassifications described above.

NOTE C — INCOME PER SHARE

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing (i) the sum of net income and the after-tax amount of interest expense recognized in the period associated with outstanding dilutive Convertible Senior Notes by (ii) the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and the weighted average dilutive common share equivalents outstanding for the period.

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 11 million and 16 million of restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation, as their effect on earnings per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods. For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, approximately 11 million and 14 million of restricted stock awards and options to purchase common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation, as their effect on earnings per share was anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

NOTE D — ACCOUNTING FOR SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective April 1, 2005, the Company adopted, under the modified retrospective basis, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-based payment,” which requires share-based awards exchanged for employee services to be accounted for under the fair value method. Accordingly, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award. The Company uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize share-based compensation costs related to awards with only service conditions. The expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

The Company recognized share-based compensation in the following line items on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated:

		Three Months								Six Months
		Ended September 30,								Ended September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007

There were no capitalized share-based compensation costs at September 30, 2008 or 2007.

The following table summarizes information about unrecognized share-based compensation costs as of September 30, 2008:

Restricted stock awards			73				1.5
Performance share units			40				1.7
Employee Stock Purchase Plan			2				0.3
Total unrecognized share-based compensation costs		$	129				1.6

Share-based incentive awards are provided to employees under the terms of the Company’s equity compensation plans (the Plans). The Plans are administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). Awards under the Plans may include at-the-money stock options, premium-priced stock options, restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs), or any combination thereof. The non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors receive deferred stock units under a separate director compensation plan.

Additional information relating to the Company’s other Plans which have been approved by stockholders and a description of the awards issued under these Plans can be found in Note 10, “Stock Plans” in the Company’s fiscal year 2008 Form 10-K.

Under the Company’s long-term incentive program for fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, senior executives were issued PSUs under which they are eligible to receive RSAs or RSUs and unrestricted shares at the end of the performance period if certain performance targets are achieved. Quarterly, PSU values are marked to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the quarter until the PSUs are granted. Compensation costs for the PSUs are amortized over the requisite service periods based on the expected level of achievement of the performance targets. At the conclusion of the performance periods for the fiscal year 2009 1-year and 3-year PSUs and the performance periods for the fiscal year 2008 and 2007 3-year PSUs, the applicable number of shares of RSAs or RSUs or unrestricted stock granted may vary based upon the level of achievement of the performance targets and the approval of the Committee (which has discretion to reduce any award for any reason). The related compensation cost recognized will be based on the number of shares granted and the closing stock price on the day of grant.

When the Company grants a stock option award, the fair value of the option is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, "Interaction Between FASB Statement No. 123(R), and Certain SEC Rules and Regulations Regarding the Valuation of Share-Based Payment Arrangements for Public Companies” (SAB 107). The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Company’s stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive stock option awards.

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company did not issue options. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company issued options covering fewer than 0.1 million shares of common stock. The weighted average fair value and assumptions used for options granted in the six-month period ended September 30, 2007 were: fair value, $7.84; dividend yield, 0.62%; expected volatility factor, 0.28; risk-free interest rate, 5.1%; and expected term, 4.5 years.

The Company maintains the Year 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) for all eligible employees. The Purchase Plan is considered compensatory under SFAS No. 123(R). The estimated fair value of the stock purchase rights under the Purchase Plan for the six-month offer periods commencing July 1, 2008 and July 1, 2007 was $5.86 and $5.71, respectively. The fair value is estimated on the first date of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions that were used in determining the estimated fair value of stock purchase rights under the Purchase Plan are as follows:

NOTE E — TRADE AND INSTALLMENT ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company uses installment license agreements as a standard business practice and has a history of successfully collecting substantially all amounts due under the original payment terms without making concessions on payments, software products, maintenance, or professional services. Net trade and installment accounts receivable represent financial assets derived from the committed amounts due from the Company’s customers. These accounts receivable balances are reflected net of unamortized discounts based on imputed interest for the time value of money for license agreements under our prior business model and allowances for doubtful accounts. These balances do not include unbilled contractual commitments executed under the Company’s current business model. Trade and installment accounts receivable are composed of the following components:

During the first half of fiscal year 2008, the Company transferred its rights and interest in future committed installments under certain software license agreements to a third party financial institution with an aggregate contract value of approximately $17 million, for which cash was received in the amount of approximately $14 million, which reflects a discount based on the present value of the future committed installments. The Company did not have similar transactions during the first half of fiscal year 2009. As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the aggregate remaining amounts due to third party financing institutions included within “Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” were approximately $44 million and $56 million, respectively. The financing agreements may contain limited recourse provisions in the event the Company does not meet its continued performance obligations under the license agreements. Based on historical experience, the Company believes that any liability which may be incurred as a result of these limited recourse provisions is remote.

NOTE F — IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In the table below, capitalized software includes both purchased and internally developed software costs; other identified intangible assets include both purchased customer relationships and trademarks/trade name costs. Internally developed capitalized software costs and other identified intangible asset costs are included in “Other noncurrent assets, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE G — FAIR VALUE AND DERIVATIVES

As described in Note A “Basis of Presentation,” the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 as of April 1, 2008. Pursuant to the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 beginning April 1, 2009 for any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. The Company recorded no change to its opening balance of retained earnings as of April 1, 2008 as it did not have any financial instruments requiring retrospective application under the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

Fair Value Hierarchy

SFAS No. 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). In accordance with SFAS No. 157, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

	•		Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
	•		Level 2—Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
	•		Level 3—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

SFAS No. 157 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

At September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $1.278 billion and $50 million of investments in money market funds classified as “Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities” and “other noncurrent assets, net” for restricted cash amounts, respectively, in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The money market funds are reported at fair value based on quoted prices that are equivalent to par value.

Additionally, the Company enters into derivative contracts with the intent of mitigating a certain portion of its foreign exchange rate risk associated with the Company’s operating exposures, which could include its exposure to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, forecasted transactions and operating income. At September 30, 2008, the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments was approximately $17 million. These financial instruments are valued based on significant other observable inputs (level 2) and are included in “Other current assets” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At September 30, 2008, the Company did not have any assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), or any liabilities to be measured at fair value as prescribed by SFAS No. 157. The Company did not have any outstanding asset or liability derivatives at March 31, 2008.

The Company’s derivatives are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 133). During the first half of fiscal years 2009 and 2008, the Company did not designate these foreign exchange derivatives as hedges under SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, all derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value (as noted above)

and unrealized or realized changes in fair value from these contracts are recorded as “Other expenses (gains), net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. A summary of the gains recognized for income on derivative foreign exchange contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

 

NOTE H — RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER

Restructuring:

Fiscal 2007 Plan: In August 2006, the Company announced the fiscal 2007 plan to significantly improve the Company’s expense structure and increase its competitiveness. The fiscal 2007 plan’s objectives include a workforce reduction, global facilities consolidations and other cost reduction initiatives estimated to cost $275 million to $300 million in total. The Company currently estimates a reduction in workforce of approximately 2,800 individuals under the fiscal 2007 plan.

Through September 30, 2008, the Company has incurred approximately $247 million in expenses under the fiscal 2007 plan, which is comprised of approximately $186 million in severance costs and approximately $61 million in facilities abandonment costs. The Company anticipates total severance costs for the fiscal 2007 plan of approximately $200 million to $215 million and total facilities abandonment costs of approximately $75 million to $85 million. The remainder of the severance and facilities abandonment charge is expected to be recognized in the second half of fiscal year 2009.

Severance: The termination benefits the Company has offered in connection with the workforce reduction under the fiscal 2007 plan are substantially the same as the benefits the Company has provided historically for non-performance-based workforce reductions, and in certain countries have been provided based upon prior experiences with the restructuring plan announced in July 2005 (the fiscal 2006 plan) as described below. These costs have been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 112, “Employers Accounting for Post Employment Benefits, an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 43.” Enhancements to termination benefits that exceed past practice are recognized as incurred in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.” Final payment of these amounts is dependent upon settlement with the works councils in certain international locations. The plans associated with the balance of the workforce reductions are still being finalized and the associated charges will be recorded once the actions are approved by management.

The Company recorded a reduction of approximately $8 million in severance costs in the first half of fiscal 2009, which includes approximately $2 million of reductions recorded during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, principally relating to changes in estimates associated with favorable settlements and redeployments of certain international employees, partially offset by additional terminations in North America.

Facilities Abandonment: The Company records the costs associated with lease termination or abandonment when the Company ceases to utilize the leased property. Under SFAS No. 146, the liability associated with lease termination or abandonment is measured as the present value of the total remaining lease costs and associated operating costs, less probable sublease income. The Company accretes its obligations related to facilities abandonment to the then-present value and, accordingly, recognizes accretion expense as a restructuring expense in future periods. The Company incurred approximately $12 million of expenses

CA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2008
(unaudited)

during the first half of fiscal year 2009, which includes $4 million in expenses recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, primarily relating to facilities abandoned during the first half of fiscal year 2009.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, restructuring activity under the fiscal 2007 plan was as follows:

						Facilities
		Severance				Abandonment
		(in millions)
Accrued balance as of March 31, 2008		$	93			$	27
(Reductions) additions			(8	)			12
Payments			(50	)			(11	)
Accrued balance as of September 30, 2008		$	35			$	28

The liability balance for the severance portion of the remaining reserve is included in the “Accrued salaries, wages and commissions” line on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability for the facilities abandonment portion of the remaining reserve is included in the “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The net costs are included in the “Restructuring and other” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2008.

Fiscal 2006 Plan: In July 2005, the Company announced the fiscal 2006 plan to increase efficiency and productivity and to more closely align its investments with strategic growth opportunities.

Accrued restructuring costs as of September 30, 2008 associated with the fiscal 2006 plan were $10 million, comprised of $1 million for severance accruals which is included in the “Accrued salaries, wages and commissions” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and $9 million for facilities abandonment accruals which is included in the “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” line item on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

There were no significant additions to or payments made against the accrued restructuring costs associated with the fiscal 2006 plan during the first half of fiscal 2009.

NOTE I — INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $119 million and $223 million, respectively, compared with the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2007 of $94 million and $162 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s tax provision included a benefit from the settlement of a U.S. federal income tax audit for the fiscal years 2001 through 2004, which resulted in a decrease in the liability for uncertain tax positions of $55 million. As a result of this settlement, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $11 million and a reduction of goodwill by $10 million, with the remainder offset against existing tax refund claims and deferred tax assets previously recorded.

NOTE J — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form 10-K.

were defendants in one or more stockholder class action lawsuits filed in July 1998, February 2002, and March 2002 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the Federal Court), alleging, among other things, that a class consisting of all persons who purchased the Company’s Common Stock during the period from January 20, 1998 until July 22, 1998 were harmed by misleading statements, misrepresentations, and omissions regarding the Company’s future financial performance.

In addition, in May 2003, a class action lawsuit captioned John A. Ambler v. Computer Associates International, Inc., et al. was filed in the Federal Court. The complaint in this matter, a purported class action on behalf of the CA Savings Harvest Plan (the CASH Plan) and the participants in, and beneficiaries of, the CASH Plan for a class period from March 30, 1998 through May 30, 2003, asserted claims of breach of fiduciary duty under the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The named defendants were the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors, the CASH Plan, the Administrative Committee of the CASH Plan, and the following current or former employees and/or former directors of the Company: Messrs. Wang, Kumar, Zar, Artzt, Peter A. Schwartz, and Charles P. McWade; and various unidentified alleged fiduciaries of the CASH Plan. The complaint alleged that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the CASH Plan to invest in Company securities and sought damages in an unspecified amount.

A stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed by Charles Federman against certain current and former directors of the Company, based on essentially the same allegations as those contained in the February and March 2002 stockholder lawsuits discussed above. This action was commenced in April 2002 in the Delaware Chancery Court, and an amended complaint was filed in November 2002. The defendants named in the amended complaint were current Company director The Honorable Alfonse M. D’Amato and former Company directors Shirley Strum Kenny and Messrs. Wang, Kumar, Artzt, Willem de Vogel, Richard Grasso, Roel Pieper, and Lewis S. Ranieri. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The derivative suit alleged breach of fiduciary duties on the part of all the individual defendants and, as against the former management director defendants, insider trading on the basis of allegedly misappropriated confidential, material information. The amended complaint sought an accounting and recovery on behalf of the Company of an unspecified amount of damages, including recovery of the profits allegedly realized from the sale of Common Stock.

On August 25, 2003, the Company announced the settlement of the above-described class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its present and former officers and directors, alleging misleading statements, misrepresentations, and omissions regarding the Company’s financial performance, as well as breaches of fiduciary duty. At the same time, the Company also announced the settlement of a derivative lawsuit, in which the Company was named as a nominal defendant, filed against certain present and former officers and directors of the Company, alleging breaches of fiduciary duty and, against certain management directors, insider trading, as well as the settlement of an additional derivative action filed by Charles Federman that had been pending in the Federal Court. As part of the class action settlement, which was approved by the Federal Court in December 2003, the Company agreed to issue a total of up to 5.7 million shares of Common Stock to the stockholders represented in the three class action lawsuits, including payment of attorneys’ fees. The Company has completed the issuance of the settlement shares as well as payment of $3.3 million to the plaintiffs’ attorneys in legal fees and related expenses.

In settling the derivative suits, which settlement was also approved by the Federal Court in December 2003, the Company committed to maintain certain corporate governance practices. Under the settlement, the Company, the individual defendants and all other current and former officers and directors of the Company were released from any potential claim by stockholders arising from accounting-related or other public statements made by the Company or its agents from January 1998 through February 2002 (and from March 11, 1998 through May 2003 in the case of the employee ERISA action). The individual defendants were released from any potential claim by or on behalf of the Company relating to the same matters.

On October 5, 2004 and December 9, 2004, four purported Company stockholders served motions to vacate the Order of Final Judgment and Dismissal entered by the Federal Court in December 2003 in connection with the settlement of the derivative action. These motions primarily sought to void the releases that were granted to the individual defendants under the settlement. On December 7, 2004, a motion to vacate the Order of Final Judgment and Dismissal entered by the Federal Court in December 2003 in connection with the settlement of the 1998 and 2002 stockholder lawsuits discussed above (together with the October 5, 2004 and December 9, 2004 motions, the “60(b) Motions”) was filed by Sam Wyly and certain related parties (the “Wyly Litigants”). The motion sought to reopen the settlement to permit the moving stockholders to pursue individual claims against certain present and former officers of the Company. The motion stated that the moving stockholders did not seek to file claims against the Company.

Derivative Actions Filed in 2004

In June and July 2004, three purported derivative actions were filed in the Federal Court by Ranger Governance, Ltd. (Ranger), Bert Vladimir and Irving Rosenzweig against certain current or former employees and/or directors of the Company (the Derivative Actions). In November 2004, the Federal Court issued an order consolidating the Derivative Actions. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint (the Consolidated Complaint) on January 7, 2005. The Consolidated Complaint names as defendants Messrs. Wang, Kumar, Zar, Artzt, D’Amato, Stephen Richards, Ranieri and Steven Woghin; David Kaplan, David Rivard, Lloyd Silverstein; Michael A. McElroy; Messrs. McWade and Schwartz; Gary Fernandes; Robert E. La Blanc; Jay W. Lorsch; Kenneth Cron; Walter P. Schuetze; Messrs. de Vogel and Grasso; Roel Pieper; KPMG LLP; and Ernst & Young LLP. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. The Consolidated Complaint seeks from one or more of the defendants (1) contribution towards the consideration the Company had previously agreed to provide current and former stockholders in settlement of certain class action litigation commenced against the Company and certain officers and directors in 1998 and 2002 (see “— Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits Filed Prior to 2004—Background”), (2) compensatory and consequential damages in an amount not less than $500 million in connection with the investigations giving rise to the deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) entered into between the Company and the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO) in 2004 and a consent to enter into a final judgment (Consent Judgment) in a parallel proceeding brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding certain of the Company’s past accounting practices, including its revenue recognition policies and procedures during certain periods prior to the adoption of the Company’s new business model (as described in the 2008 Form 10-K) in October 2000 (In May 2007, based upon the Company’s compliance with the terms of the DPA, the Federal Court ordered dismissal of the charges that had been filed against the Company in connection with the DPA and the DPA expired. The injunctive provisions of the Consent Judgment permanently enjoining the Company from violating certain provisions of the federal securities laws remain in effect). (3) unspecified relief for violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged false and material misstatements made in the Company’s proxy statements issued in 2002 and 2003, (4) relief for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, (5) unspecified compensatory, consequential and punitive damages based upon allegations of corporate waste and fraud, (6) unspecified damages for breach of duty of reasonable care, (7) restitution and rescission of the compensation earned under the Company’s executive compensation plan and (8) pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reimbursement of bonus or other incentive-based equity compensation and alleged profits realized from sales of securities issued by the Company. Although no relief is sought from the Company, the Consolidated Complaint seeks monetary damages, both compensatory and consequential, from the other defendants, including current or former employees and/or directors of the Company, Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG LLP in an amount totaling not less than $500 million.

The consolidated derivative action was stayed pending resolution of the 60(b) Motions, which have been denied (see “—Current Procedural Status of Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits Filed Prior to 2004 and Derivative Actions Filed in 2004”). On February 1, 2005, the Company established a

Special Litigation Committee of independent members of its Board of Directors to, among other things, control and determine the Company’s response to the Consolidated Complaint and the 60(b) Motions. On April 13, 2007, the Special Litigation Committee issued its reports, which announced the Special Litigation Committee’s conclusions, determinations, recommendations and actions with respect to the claims asserted in the Derivative Actions and in the 60(b) Motions. Also, in response to the Consolidated Complaint, the Special Litigation Committee served a motion which seeks to dismiss and realign the claims and parties in accordance with the Special Litigation Committee’s recommendations. As summarized below, the Special Litigation Committee concluded as follows:

• The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to pursue certain of the claims against Charles Wang (the Company’s former Chairman and CEO) and former officer Peter Schwartz.

• The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to pursue certain of the claims against the former Company executives who have pled guilty to various charges of securities fraud and/or obstruction of justice — including David Kaplan (CA’s former head of Financial Reporting), Stephen Richards (the Company’s former head of Worldwide Sales), David Rivard (the Company’s former head of Sales Accounting), Lloyd Silverstein (the Company’s former head of the Global Sales Organization), Steven Woghin (the Company’s former General Counsel) and Ira Zar (the Company’s former CFO). The Special Litigation Committee has determined and directed that these claims be pursued by the Company using counsel retained by the Company, unless the Special Litigation Committee is able to successfully conclude its ongoing settlement negotiations with these individuals.

• The Special Litigation Committee has reached a settlement (subject to court approval) with Sanjay Kumar (the Company’s former Chairman and CEO), Charles McWade (the Company’s former head of Financial Reporting and business development) and Russell Artzt (currently Vice Chairman and Founder and a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors).

• The Special Litigation Committee believes that the claims (the Director Claims) against current and former Company directors Kenneth Cron, Alfonse D’Amato, Willem de Vogel, Gary Fernandes, Richard Grasso, Shirley Strum Kenny, Robert La Blanc, Jay Lorsch, Roel Pieper, Lewis Ranieri, Walter Schuetze and Alex Vieux should be dismissed. The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that these directors did not breach their fiduciary duties and the claims against them lack merit.

• The Special Litigation Committee has concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company to seek dismissal of the claims against the Company’s former independent auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s current independent auditors, KPMG LLP and Michael McElroy (the Company’s former senior vice president of the Legal department).

The Special Litigation Committee has served motions which seek dismissal of the Director Claims, the claims against Ernst & Young LLP and KPMG LLP, and Michael McElroy and certain other claims. In addition, the Special Litigation Committee has asked for the Federal Court’s approval for the Company to be realigned as the plaintiff with respect to claims against certain other parties, including Messrs. Wang and Schwartz.

Current Procedural Status of Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits Filed Prior to 2004 and Derivative Actions Filed in 2004

By letter dated July 19, 2007, counsel for the Special Litigation Committee advised the Federal Court that the Special Litigation Committee had reached a settlement of the Derivative Actions with two of the three derivative plaintiffs — Bert Vladimir and Irving Rosenzweig. In connection with the settlement, both of these plaintiffs have agreed to support the Special Litigation Committee’s motion to dismiss and to realign. The Company has agreed to pay the attorney’s fees of Messrs. Vladimir and Rosenzweig in an amount up to $525,000 each. If finalized, this settlement would require approval of the Federal Court. On July 23, 2007, Ranger filed a letter with the Federal Court objecting to the proposed settlement. On October 29, 2007, the Federal Court denied the Special Litigation Committee’s motion to dismiss and

realign, without prejudice to renewing the motion after a decision by the appellate court regarding the Federal Court’s decisions concerning the 60(b) Motions (see “—Stockholder Class Action and Derivative Lawsuits Filed Prior to 2004 — Background”).

In a memorandum and order dated August 2, 2007, the Federal Court denied all of the 60(b) Motions and reaffirmed the 2003 settlements (the August 2 decision). On August 24, 2007, Ranger and the Wyly Litigants filed notices of appeal of the August 2 decision. On August 16, 2007, the Special Litigation Committee filed a motion to amend or clarify the August 2 decision, and the Company joined that motion. On September 12, 2007 and October 4, 2007, the Federal Court issued opinions denying the motions to amend or clarify. On September 18, 2007, the Wyly Litigants and Ranger filed notices of appeal of the September 12 decision. The Company filed notices of cross-appeal of the September 12 and October 4 decisions on November 2, 2007. On December 3, 2007, Ranger filed a motion to dismiss the Company’s cross-appeals. By an Order filed on May 21, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Ranger’s motion to dismiss, having determined that the Company’s notices of cross-appeal were timely filed. On July 28, 2008, the Wyly Litigants (in the class actions) and Ranger (in the derivative action) served their opening briefs.

On September 11, 2008, the Company filed its briefs in opposition to the Wyly Litigants’ and Ranger’s appeals, and in support of the Company’s cross-appeals in the derivative action. Also on September 11, 2008, current CA director The Honorable Alfonse M. D’Amato and former CA directors Richard Grasso, Shirley Strum Kenny, Jay Lorsch, Roel Pieper, Lewis Ranieri, Walter Schuetze, Willem F.P. de Vogel and Charles Wang filed briefs in opposition to the Wyly Litigants’ and Ranger’s appeals. On October 9, 2008, the Wyly Litigants filed a reply brief in support of their appeals in the class actions. Briefing in the class actions is complete. Ranger’s combined opposition/reply brief, and briefs of cross-appellees in opposition to the Company’s cross-appeal, was served October 28, 2008. The Company’s reply brief is required to be served by November 14, 2008.

Texas Litigation

On August 9, 2004, a petition was filed by Sam Wyly and Ranger against the Company in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, seeking to obtain a declaratory judgment that plaintiffs did not breach two separation agreements they entered into with the Company in 2002 (the 2002 Agreements). Plaintiffs seek to obtain this declaratory judgment in order to file a derivative suit on behalf of the Company (see “— Derivative Actions Filed in 2004”). On February 18, 2005, Mr. Wyly filed a separate lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Texas Federal Court) alleging that he is entitled to attorneys’ fees in connection with the original litigation filed in Texas. The two actions have been consolidated. On March 31, 2005, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to allege a claim that they were defrauded into entering the 2002 Agreements and to seek rescission of those agreements and damages. On September 1, 2005, the Texas Federal Court granted the Company’s motion to transfer the action to the Federal Court. On November 9, 2007, plaintiffs served a motion to reopen discovery for 90 days to permit unspecified additional document requests and depositions. The Federal Court denied plaintiffs’ discovery motion on August 29, 2008 and certified that discovery was complete on September 3, 2008. On September 15, 2008, the Company moved for summary judgment dismissing all of plaintiffs’ claims. Also on September 15, plaintiffs moved for reconsideration of the Federal Court’s August 29, 2008 order denying plaintiffs’ discovery motion. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Company’s summary judgment motion is due on November 5, 2008.

Other Civil Actions

In June 2004, a lawsuit captioned Scienton Technologies, Inc. et al. v. Computer Associates International, Inc. was filed in the Federal Court. The complaint seeks monetary damages in various amounts, some of which are unspecified, but which are alleged to exceed $868 million, based upon claims for, among other things, breaches of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition. Although the ultimate outcome cannot be determined, the Company believes that the claims are unfounded and that the Company has meritorious defenses. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this lawsuit is not

expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers have been or may be named as defendants in various other lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with such lawsuits and claims that have been asserted, and intends to vigorously contest each of them. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the results of these other lawsuits and claims that have been asserted, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, annual results of operations, or annual cash flows, although the impact could be material to any interim reporting period.

Additional information about litigation involving the Company’s directors and executive officers is contained in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC.

NOTE K — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 29 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire up to $250 million of its common stock. The Company will fund the program with available cash on hand and may repurchase shares on the open market from time to time based on market conditions and other factors.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the world’s leading independent information technology (IT) management software companies, helping organizations use IT to better perform, compete, innovate and grow. We help customers govern, manage and secure their entire IT operation — all of the people, information, processes, systems, networks, applications and databases, from a Web service to the mainframe, regardless of the hardware or software they are using.

We license our products worldwide, principally to large IT service providers, financial services companies, governmental agencies, retailers, manufacturers, educational institutions, and healthcare institutions. These customers typically maintain IT infrastructures that are both complex and central to their objectives for operational excellence.

We offer our software products and solutions directly to our customers through our direct sales force and indirectly through global systems integrators, value-added partners, original equipment manufacturers, and distribution partners.

For further discussion of our business and business model, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (the 2008 Form 10-K). For further discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies and Business Practices, see “Critical Accounting Policies and Business Practices,” which is included in Item 2 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.

We have assessed and will continue to assess the impact on our business of the general economic downturn and the related impact on the financial services sector in particular. Approximately one third of our revenue comes from arrangements with financial institutions (i.e., banking, brokerage and insurance companies). The majority of these arrangements are for the renewal of mainframe capacity and maintenance associated with transactions processed by such financial institutions. While we cannot predict what impact there may be on our business from further consolidation of the financial industry sector, or the impact from the economy in general on our business, to date the impact has not been

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

material to our balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. The vast majority of our subscription and maintenance revenue in any particular reporting period comes from contracts signed in prior periods, generally pursuant to contracts ranging in duration from three to five years.

In the ordinary course of business we review our cash and investment balances with respect to counterparty exposure. To date we have not experienced any significant impact as a result of the recent financial credit crisis. In the future, our (or our customer’s) ability to finance transactions, or our ability to obtain liquidity at favorable terms could be adversely affected.

Analyses of our performance indicators, including general trends, can be found in the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections of this MD&A. The performance indicators discussed below are those that we believe are unique because of our subscription-based business model.

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

Subscription and Maintenance Revenue — Subscription and maintenance revenue is the amount of revenue recognized ratably during the reporting period from both: (i) subscription license agreements that were in effect during the period, which generally include maintenance that is bundled with and not separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, and (ii) maintenance agreements associated with providing customer technical support and access to software fixes and upgrades that are separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales. These amounts include the sale of products directly by CA, as well as by distributors, resellers and value-added resellers to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products and other contracts entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements.

Total Bookings — Effective April 1, 2008, we changed our measurement of our new business activity from new deferred subscription value to total bookings. In addition to what was previously included in new deferred subscription value, subscription and maintenance bookings now includes the value of maintenance contracts committed by customers in the current period that were separate from license subscription contracts, whereas new deferred subscription value excluded certain of these types of agreements. The bookings amounts disclosed in this MD&A include the effects of this change. The incremental value of these agreements was $49 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Total bookings also includes the new professional services and software fees and other contracts that were not previously included in new deferred subscription value.

Subscription and Maintenance Bookings — Subscription and maintenance bookings is the aggregate incremental amount we expect to collect from our customers over the terms of the underlying subscription and maintenance license agreements entered into during a reporting period. These amounts include the sale of products directly by CA, as well as by distributors, resellers and value-added resellers to end-users, where the contracts incorporate the right for end-users to receive unspecified future software products, and other contracts entered into in close proximity or contemplation of such agreements. These amounts are expected to be recognized ratably as subscription and maintenance revenue over the applicable software license terms. Subscription and maintenance bookings typically excludes the value associated with certain perpetual based licenses, license-only indirect sales, and professional services arrangements.

The license agreements that contribute to subscription and maintenance bookings represent binding payment commitments by customers over periods generally from three to five years, although in certain cases customer commitments can be for longer periods. The amount of new subscription and maintenance bookings recorded in a period is affected by the volume and amount of contracts renewed during that period. Typically, our subscription and maintenance bookings increase in each consecutive quarter during a fiscal year, with the first quarter being the weakest and the fourth quarter being the strongest. However, as we make efforts to improve the balance of the distribution of our contract renewals throughout the fiscal year, subscription and maintenance bookings may not always follow the pattern of increasing in consecutive quarters during a fiscal year, and the quarter to quarter differences in subscription and maintenance bookings may be more moderate. Additionally, changes in subscription and maintenance bookings, relative to previous periods, do not necessarily correlate to changes in billings or cash receipts, relative to previous periods. The contribution to current period revenue from subscription and maintenance bookings from any single license agreement is relatively small, since revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable license agreement term.

Weighted Average Subscription and Maintenance Duration in Years — The weighted average subscription and maintenance duration in years reflects the average duration of all subscription and maintenance licenses executed during a period, weighted by the contract value of each individual license. Effective April 1, 2008, our calculation of weighted average agreement duration now includes all subscription and maintenance contracts for both direct and indirect channels, whereas the prior calculation reflected direct product subscription licenses only. This modification has also been reflected in the weighted average agreement duration from the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 for comparison purposes and resulted in a

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

decrease of 0.2 years for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. The increase in the weighted average license agreement duration in years for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was attributable to an increase in the number and amounts of contracts executed with contract terms longer than the historical averages, including several large contracts with terms of approximately five years, two of which had a combined contract value of approximately $550 million.

Annualized Subscription and Maintenance Bookings— Annualized subscription and maintenance bookings is an indicator of future revenue to be realized on an annual basis from contracts signed during the period. It is calculated by dividing the total value of all new term-based software license agreements entered into during a period by the weighted average duration in years of all such license agreements recorded during the same period.

Total Revenue Backlog — Total revenue backlog represents the aggregate amount the Company expects to recognize as revenue in the future as either subscription and maintenance revenue or professional services revenue associated with contractually committed amounts billed or to be billed as of the balance sheet date. Total revenue backlog is comprised of amounts recognized as a liability in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” as well as unearned amounts associated with balances yet to be billed under subscription and maintenance agreements. Amounts are classified as current or non-current depending on when they are expected to be earned and therefore recognized as revenue. The portion of the total revenue backlog that relates to subscription and maintenance licenses is recognized as revenue evenly on a monthly basis over the duration of the underlying license agreements and is reported as “Subscription and maintenance revenue” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

“Deferred revenue (billed or collected)” is comprised of: (i) amounts received in advance of revenue recognition from the customer, (ii) amounts billed but not collected for which revenue has not yet been earned, and (iii) amounts received in advance of revenue recognition from financial institutions where the Company has transferred its interest in committed installments (referred to as “Financing obligations” in Note A, “Basis of Presentation” in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revenue

The increase in total revenue for both the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to growth in subscription and maintenance revenue. Total revenue was favorably impacted by foreign exchange of approximately $42 million and $100 million for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Price changes do not have a material impact on revenue in a given period as a result of our ratable subscription model.

Subscription and Maintenance Revenue

Subscription and maintenance revenue is the amount of revenue recognized ratably during the reporting period from both: (i) subscription license agreements that were in effect during the period, which generally include maintenance that is bundled with and not separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales, and (ii) maintenance agreements associated with providing customer technical support and access to software fixes and upgrades which are separately identifiable from software usage fees or product sales.
