INVESTING ACTIVITY

     During the first half of 1996, Ceridian acquired several small
businesses related to its Information Services operations.  In January, the
Company purchased for cash the assets of Information Learning Systems Inc.,
a provider of human resources management expert systems which had 1995
revenue of $2.5.  In February, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of EAS Technologies, Inc., a provider of advanced automated time and
attendance software solutions which had 1995 revenue of $3.1, in a
transaction accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method.  Prior year
financial statements were not restated due to lack of materiality.  In
March, the Company acquired in a stock-for-stock transaction a minority
equity interest in International Automated Energy Systems, Inc., ("IAES") a
provider of fuel management and payment systems for local fleets, which
will be associated with the Company's Comdata subsidiary.  The acquisition
agreement also provided for advances to IAES by Ceridian during 1996 of up
to $6.5, repayable by the end of 2000, and an option to Ceridian (which
must be exercised under certain circumstances) to acquire the remaining
equity of IAES during 1997 in a transaction which would then be accounted
for by the pooling-of-interests method.  In June, the Company purchased for
cash the assets of the Compower payroll processing services business in the
United Kingdom, which had 1995 revenue of $6.0.  The aggregate
consideration for these acquisitions consisted of $6.4 in cash and 303,786
shares of the Company's common stock.

     Results of operations and cash flows for 1995 have been restated for
the acquisitions of Resumix, Inc. and Comdata Holdings Corporation in
August and December 1995, respectively, which were accounted for by the
pooling-of-interests method.

         Results of Operations

     The statements regarding the outlook for Ceridian Corporation (the
"Company") contained in this section are forward-looking statements based
on current expectations, and entail various risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
such forward-looking statements.  Important factors known to the Company
that could cause such material differences are discussed below and under
the caption "1996 Financial Outlook"  contained in the  "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition"
contained in Part II, Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995, which discussion is incorporated
herein by reference.

Results of Operations

     Revenue. Revenue for the Company, its two industry segments and the
businesses that comprise those segments is as follows:

     About one-half of the 20% revenue growth in the Human Resources Group
("HRG") in the three and six-month comparisons was due to acquisitions,
primarily Centre-file.  Apart from acquisitions and after adjusting for the
1996 decrease in the average annual yield on tax filing deposits, HRG's
revenue increased 9.4% and 9.7% in the quarterly and year-to-date
comparisons, respectively.

     Comdata's revenue increased 5.8% and 9.5% in the three and six month
comparisons, with a small portion of the six month increase reflecting the
net effect of the first quarter 1995 acquisition of Trendar and sale of the
retail services division.  The internal revenue growth in Comdata reflected
9.5% and 8.7% revenue growth from transportation services in the quarterly
and year-to-date comparisons, respectively, and 0.7% and 9.6% revenue
growth from gaming services over the same periods.  The revenue growth from
transportation services was primarily due to an increase in funds transfer
transactions as well as increased demand for fuel desk automation systems
and telecommunications services.  The quarterly comparison of revenue from

Results of Operations (cont.)

gaming services primarily reflected slower growth in the gaming industry
generally and in Comdata's new gaming accounts, and a second quarter 1996
increase in the merchant discount on credit card cash advances, which is
netted against revenue.  Comdata is implementing various measures,including
price increases, to mitigate or eliminate the effect of this merchant
discount increase.  Revenue from ATM transactions increased significantly
in the three and six month comparisons, reflecting the expansion of the ATM
network and the second quarter 1996 introduction of surcharges in
connection with such transactions.  Also contributing to Comdata's overall
revenue growth was a $2.2 million increase in revenue year-to-date from
unsettled transactions.

     Arbitron's revenue increased 8.4% and 16.9% in the quarterly and year-
to-date comparisons, with somewhat more than a third and a half of the
respective increases attributable to a change in the revenue recognition
policy of the Scarborough Research Partnership ("SRP").  The balance of
Arbitron's revenue increase was primarily due to growth in sales of radio
audience measurement services and analytical software.

     Computing Devices' revenue increase in both the three and six month
comparisons was due to its Canadian and United Kingdom operations.  The
revenue increase in the Canadian operations was due in large measure to
ground system products, particularly a multi-year contract to develop and
produce a reconnaissance system for a light armored vehicle.  The increase
in revenue from the United Kingdom operations was primarily due to a
contract to provide ground systems for reconnaissance processing.

     Gross Margin.  The Company's gross margin increase in each of the
three and six month comparisons was due largely to the relatively greater
revenue growth in the Information Services segment, which has higher gross
margins.  The six month comparison also benefited from gross margin
improvement in Computing Devices from 20.3% to 22.0%, due largely to
revenue mix in its U.S. operations.

     Information Services' gross margin decreased from 52.2% to 51.6% in
the six month comparison, due largely to a decrease in Comdata's gross
margin in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons.  The Comdata decrease
was primarily due to a rate of increase in agent commissions paid to gaming
locations in excess of the rate of growth in related revenue, and to
greater revenue growth from fuel desk automation systems and
telecommunications services, which have lower gross margins than most other
aspects of Comdata's business.

     Operating Expenses.  The Company's selling expense decreased from
14.1% and 14.0% of revenue in the second quarter and first half of 1995,
respectively, to 13.0% of revenue in the comparable 1996 periods.  This
decrease was primarily attributable to HRG, reflecting increased
concentration of Employer Services' sales and marketing efforts on medium-
and large-sized employers, and generally lower selling expenses as a

percentage of revenue in more recently acquired businesses.  Partially
offsetting this decrease was an increase in selling expenses as a
percentage of revenue in Computing Devices, reflecting efforts to expand
existing products and technologies into new markets, including human
resource service offerings to potential government customers.

     The Company's general and administrative expenses increased from 8.6%
and 8.5% of revenue in the second quarter and first half of 1995,
respectively, to 9.5% percent of revenue in the comparable 1996 periods.
This increase was attributable to the Information Services segment,
primarily reflecting acquisitions made during 1995 and early 1996,
including related amortization of goodwill and intangibles.

     The Company's research and development expenses increased from 4.2%
and 4.3% of revenue in the second quarter and first half of 1995,
respectively, to 4.5% percent of revenue in the comparable 1996 periods,
reflecting development efforts related to payroll processing and
client/server software.  As a result of the testing and successful live
processing of payrolls with the first version of the CII payroll processing
software with a limited number of customers during the first half of 1996,
the Company has determined that rather than separately testing and
commercially releasing a second "interim"  version of the CII software as
had been originally anticipated, it would be more beneficial for both
customers and the Company if the second version of the CII software tested
and ultimately released were to include certain enhancements to increase
its functionality as well as a client/server front-end that features open
data base connectivity.  Testing of this enhanced second version is
expected to begin with a limited number of customers near the end of 1996
and continue in the first half of 1997.  The systematic release of this
enhanced CII software for use by new and existing customers, the
amortization of the capitalized software costs associated with the CII
development effort and the realization of operational efficiencies that may
be associated with the new system are expected to be deferred accordingly.

     Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT").  The Company's EBIT
increased $5.1 million, or 12.8%, in the quarterly comparison and $13.1
million, or 15.5%, in the year-to-date comparison.  Information Services'
EBIT increased $3.4 million, or 10.2%, in the quarterly comparison, and
$6.7 million, or 9.3%, in the year-to-date comparison.  As a percentage of
revenue, Information Services' EBIT decreased from 16.5% to 16.1% in the
quarterly comparison, and from 18.1% to 17.0% in the year-to-date
comparison.  Computing Devices' EBIT increased $0.8 million, or 9.1%, in
the quarterly comparison, and $3.4 million, or 21.2%, in the year-to-date
comparison.  As a percentage of revenue, Computing Devices' EBIT increased
from 6.9% to 7.1% in the three month comparison, and from 6.3% to 7.3% in
the six month comparison.

         Results of Operations

Results of Operations (cont.)

     Interest Income and Expense and Taxes.  The decrease in interest
expense in the quarterly and year-to-date comparisons reflected lower
levels of debt and lower interest rates, primarily as a result of the 1995
refinancing of Comdata's debt.  The decrease in interest income reflected
lower levels of cash and short-term investments in 1996.  The decreases in
the provisions for income taxes in the three and six month comparisons
primarily represent the utilization of Ceridian's net operating loss
carryforwards to shelter Comdata's 1996 income from U.S. federal income
tax.


Financial Condition

     With respect to operating cash flows, net earnings adjusted to a cash
basis provided cash of $111.7 million in the first half of 1996 and $90.4
million in the first half of 1995.  The increase in trade and other
receivables in the first half of 1996 primarily reflected an increase in
Comdata's receivables as compared to what is typically a seasonal low point
at year-end, and an increase in Computing Devices' unbilled receivables.
Partially offsetting the impact of this increase was the receipt in the
second quarter 1996 of a $20.0 million customer advance as a result of
Computing Devices achieving a performance milestone under the Iris
contract.  A similar advance had been received in June 1995.

     The most significant contributors to the decrease in cash used for
investing activities in the six month comparison were the 1995 increase in
short-term investments and the greater amount expended in 1995 to acquire
businesses, primarily Trendar.  The first half 1996 increase in
expenditures for capitalized software primarily involved the CII software
development effort.  The cash used for financing activities during the
first half of 1996 primarily involved the repayment of $60.0 million under
the Company's revolving credit facility.  Information regarding the cash
impact of the Company's repurchases of its common stock and of stock option
exercises during the first half of 1996 is contained in the financial
statement note entitled "Stockholders' Equity."

     At June 30, 1996, $135.0 million in revolving loans and $1.4 million
in standby letters of credit were outstanding under the Company's revolving
credit facility.  The applicable interest rate for loans under the credit
facility varies, and at June 30, 1996 was 6.1%. At June 30, 1996, the
Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit
facility, and would have been entitled to avail itself of an additional
$158 million of borrowing under the permitted debt covenant in the credit
facility.
