FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS

In March 1995, the Company's subsidiary in the United Kingdom ("CDCL UK")
entered into an agreement with its principal bank to purchase U.S. dollars,
for an aggregate amount of 5,150,256 pounds sterling, at specified dates,
generally on a monthly basis, between November 1995 and September 1998. The
U.S. dollar value of these contracts at March     1995 was $8.2 which was
                                              31,
not materially different from the value at inception, and no amount of
deferred gain or loss had been amortized to operations.  The forward
contracts will serve as a hedge of an identifiable foreign currency
commitment; namely, the delivery of goods manufactured in a U.S. facility of
the Company to satisfy a customer contract of CDCL UK.  The forward
contracts are intended to eliminate economic and accounting risks arising
from fluctuations in the exchange rate between the two currencies by
matching forward contract maturities to customer contract performance.  Any
gain or loss on the forward contracts, measured by the difference between
the contract rate and the spot rate at the current balance sheet date, will
be deferred (unless the deferral is expected to lead to recognizing losses
in future periods) and included in cost of sales along with the related
inventoried costs, effectively converting the dollar costs to pounds.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations


Results of Operations (cont.)


     Revenue.  The 16.6% revenue growth in Information Services from the
first quarter 1994 to the first quarter 1995 reflected 29.6% revenue growth
in Employer Services which was partially offset by the May 1994 sale of the
Company's TeleMoney Services business.  Almost 40% of Employer Services'
revenue growth was due to acquisitions made during 1994, principally
Tesseract Corporation and User Technology Services, Inc., while increased
investment income from payroll tax filing deposits accounted for somewhat
less than a third of the revenue increase.  The increase in investment
income was due to both an increase in the average annual yield on such
investments of 188 basis points as well as a 21% increase in average
balances, reflecting growth in the tax filing customer base.  Revenue from
Employer Services' payroll processing operations also increased
approximately 10%, primarily reflecting new customer installations.  The
annualized revenue value of orders received by Employer Services during the
first quarter 1995 was about 20% greater than in the year earlier quarter.
Employer Services' revenue and profitability tend to be the greatest in the
first and fourth quarters of each year because of customers' year-end
reporting requirements and greater tax filing deposit balances in the first
quarter.

     Although Arbitron's revenue was essentially unchanged in the quarterly
comparison, revenue from radio audience measurement services and analytical
software increased about 8% due to an increased rate of customer renewals, a
higher percentage of syndicated ratings customers also utilizing analytical
software applications, and price increases related to efforts to increase
the sample size for radio surveys.  This revenue increase was offset by a
revenue decrease resulting from the Company's exchange of its interest in
the Competitive Media Reporting ("CMR") joint venture for an interest in
the Scarborough Research Partnership ("SRP"), which produces the
"Scarborough Report" that provides information regarding product/service
usage and media usage in major U.S. markets.  As a result of this
transaction, Arbitron no longer derives revenue from the sale of commercial
monitoring services provided by CMR, but SRP's results are consolidated with
Arbitron's.  Although this transaction is expected to increase Arbitron's
annual revenue somewhat, SRP's revenue is heavily weighted toward the
second, third and fourth quarters of each year, coinciding with deliveries
of the Scarborough Report.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations


Results of Operations (cont.)


     Computing Devices' revenue increased 16.5% in the quarterly comparison,
due to a 43% revenue increase in its Canadian operations.  About three-
fourths of the revenue increase was attributable to the Iris contract to
provide a communications system to the Canadian defense department, while
the balance was attributable to ground system products, particularly a $105
million, multi-year contract awarded to the Company in 1994 to develop and
produce a light armored vehicle reconnaissance system.  Although Computing
Devices orders during the first quarter 1995 were about 25% below the year
earlier quarter, that quarter had included the previously mentioned
reconnaissance system order.  For all of 1995, Computing Devices expects its
orders to be about 15% below the level achieved in 1994, when it achieved
its highest order year ever.

     Gross Margin.  The Company's gross margin improvement in the quarterly
comparison was attributable to the Information Services segment.  The
improvement in Information Services reflected the sale of the TeleMoney
business and related operations, which had a very low gross profit margin
during the first quarter 1994, and an increase in the gross profit margin in
Arbitron.  The improvement in Arbitron is primarily a function of revenue
mix, as low margin revenue from the sale of commercial monitoring services
provided by CMR did not continue in the first quarter 1995 as a result of
the CMR/SRP transaction, and higher margin revenue from radio audience
measurement services and analytical software increased.  Employer Services'
gross margin was little changed, as improvements resulting from generally
higher business volume were offset by additional costs related to the
establishment of a centralized customer service center and efforts to
centralize payroll data processing.

     The modest decrease in Computing Devices' gross margin in the quarterly
comparison was primarily due to increased revenue from the Iris contract,
which has lower gross margins than most other aspects of Computing Devices'
business.  First quarter 1995 revenue from this contract included $5 million
of payments to protect the Company from currency exposure on non-Canadian
dollar costs, payments on which there is no gross profit.  Partially
offsetting the decrease were improved gross margins in Computing Devices'
U.S. operations, reflecting the movement of certain contracts from the
development phase into the production phase, and the benefits of reduced
employment levels in connection with fixed price contracts that had been bid
with a higher cost structure.

     Operating Expenses.  Although selling, general and administrative
("SG&A") expenses increased in both industry segments in the quarterly
comparison, they decreased in each segment as a percentage of revenue.

Results of Operations (cont.)


     In Information Services, SG&A expenses decreased from 33.3% of revenue
in the first quarter 1994 to 32.9% of revenue in the first quarter 1995.
The primary factor in this percentage decrease was the decrease in Employer
Services' selling expense as a percentage of revenue, reflecting the
significant increase in Employer Services' revenue and increased
concentration of sales and marketing efforts on medium- and large-sized
employers.  General and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of
revenue in Information Services, largely due to amortization of goodwill and
other intangible assets associated with acquisitions made during 1994 and
additional compensation expense associated with a performance restricted
stock plan implemented by the Company during 1994.  Computing Devices' SG&A
expenses to revenue ratio decreased from 8.0% to 7.8%, reflecting increased
revenue and a decrease in selling expense that was more than offset by an
increase in administrative expense.

     Technical expense for the Company increased from 4.9% of revenue in the
first quarter 1994 to 6.3% of revenue in the first quarter 1995.
Information Services' technical expense as a percentage of revenue increased
from 4.6% to 7.0% of revenue.  The most significant increase in technical
expense, both in dollars and as a percentage of revenue, was in Employer
Services, reflecting the June 1994 acquisition of Tesseract and spending in
connection with the enhancement of its payroll processing software.  An
increase in research and development expenses in Computing Devices caused
its technical expense to increase from 5.3% of revenue in the first quarter
1994 to 5.6% of revenue in the first quarter 1995.  Other expense in the
first quarter 1994 primarily consisted of the Company's share of CMR's loss,
while other income during the first quarter 1995 primarily consisted of the
other partner's share of SRP's loss.

     Earnings Before Interest and Taxes.  The Company's earnings before
interest and taxes ("EBIT") increased $6.1 million, or 27.1%, from the first
quarter 1994 to the first quarter 1995.  Information Services was the
primary contributor to this improvement, with EBIT increasing $4.7 million,
or 24.7%, in the quarterly comparison.  Most of this increase in Information
Services' EBIT was due to Employer Services.  As a percentage of revenue,
EBIT for Information Services increased from 17.1% in the first quarter 1994
to 18.3% in the first quarter 1995, with the percentage increase primarily
attributable to Arbitron.  Computing Devices' EBIT increased $0.7 million,
or 9.7%, in the quarterly comparison, but declined as a percentage of
revenue from 6.1% to 5.7% of revenue.

     Interest Income and Expense and Taxes.  The increase in interest income
in the quarterly comparison reflected higher interest rates in the first
quarter 1995.  The provisions for income taxes for the first quarter of 1994
and 1995 primarily represent tax charges related to the Company's
international operations.

Financial Condition

     The Company's cash and short-term investments decreased from $171.4
million at December 31, 1994 to $157.9 million at March 31, 1995.  Although
none of the December 31 balance was subject to any restrictions, $4.9
million of the March 31, 1995 balance was subject to restriction in
connection with a letter of credit issued on behalf of Computing Devices'
Canadian operations with respect to its contract to provide a light armored
vehicle reconnaissance system.

     During the first three months of 1995, operating cash flows provided
$19.5 million of cash, after having utilized $22.2 million of cash in the
first quarter 1994.  Net earnings adjusted to a cash basis provided cash of
$39.1 million in the first quarter 1995 and $27.4 million in the first
quarter 1994.  Increases in working capital utilized $11.8 million of cash
in the first quarter 1995  and $27.4 million of cash in the 1994 period.
Reflected in the first quarter 1995 cash utilized in connection with working
capital items was an $18.4 million increase in trade and other receivables,
reflecting increases in Computing Devices and, to a lesser extent, Employer
Services.  The first quarter 1994 working capital increase included a $16.7
million reduction in customer advances and an $11.9 million increase in
trade and other receivables, both principally related to Computing Devices'
Iris contract.  Payments of restructure liabilities were $7.8 million and
$22.2 million in the first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
following table summarizes estimated restructure payments during 1995, first
quarter 1995 restructure payments, and restructure payments expected during
the remainder of 1995:

At March 31, 1995, the Company reported accrued restructure liabilities of
$80.6 million, which is expected to decline to about $67.5 million by the
end of 1995.  Restructure payments during 1995 principally involve
obligations (most significantly for vacant space) related to past
restructuring actions not involving the Company's ongoing businesses,
actions in Employer Services to centralize customer service capabilities and
consolidate payroll processing, and the discontinuance of Arbitron's
television ratings service.

     Investing activities utilized $28.7 million of cash during the first
quarter 1995 and provided $17.1 million of cash during the first quarter
1994.  The net use of cash during the first quarter 1995 included
expenditures of $8.8 million paid for businesses acquired near the end of
1994 and $18.9 million for capital assets and software.  Cash received from
investing activities during the first quarter 1994 reflected $24.6 million
of cash received from the liquidation of short-term investments, as the
Company's independent investment manager reduced average maturities in that
period, and amounts expended for capital assets and capitalized software of
$9.6 million.  The largest portion of the increase in expenditures for
capital assets and software in the quarterly comparison involved Employer
Services, and reflected equipment to expand and improve communications and
service delivery capabilities, the acquisition of Tesseract, and ongoing
projects to introduce enhanced payroll processing software and human
resource software applications.

Financial Condition (cont.)

     Financing activities utilized $4.6 million of cash during the first
quarter 1995, reflecting the $3.2 million prepayment of a mortgage and $3.2
million in quarterly preferred stock dividends.  During the first quarter
1994, financing activities provided $12.7 million of cash, primarily
reflecting the receipt of an additional $15.5 million in net cash proceeds
from the sale by the Company of additional shares of preferred stock as a
result of the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option.

     During May 1995, the Company expects to conclude a one year extension
of its unsecured $35 million domestic revolving credit facility, which was
otherwise scheduled to expire on May 30, 1995.  Under the expected terms of
the extension, the Company will be able to obtain revolving loans or standby
letters of credit which may not have a final expiration date later than May
29, 1997.  At April 30, 1995, there were $1.6 million in letters of credit
and no revolving loans outstanding under the facility.
