</TABLE>
1996

Sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $3,388 million and net earnings were 
$274 million ($.80 per share).  Net earnings increased over the comparable 
period a year ago as the benefits of volume increases were only partially 
offset by lower effective selling prices, higher selling, general and 
administrative activity and increased research and development expenditures.  
On April 16, 1996, the Company announced a program, expected to extend over 
the next two to three years, to repurchase up to an additional $2 billion of 
its outstanding common stock.  This follows a $1 billion stock repurchase 
program the Company commenced during the fourth quarter of 1995.  At March 
31, 1996, approximately $870 million of the original $1 billion has been 
repurchased, with the remaining $130 million expected to be repurchased in 
the near future.  

On January 18, 1996, the Company announced its intention to strengthen and 
reposition its Office Imaging business.  The Office Imaging business is 
involved primarily with the development, production, sale and service of 
office reprographics, document processing and reproduction equipment.  The 
Company continues to explore a variety of strategic options and structural 
alternatives, which include expanding its use of strategic alliances, the 
formation of joint ventures and potential divestiture.

1995

Sales for the first quarter of 1995 were $3,137 million and net earnings were 
$262 million ($.77 per share).

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 COMPARED WITH 1995

First quarter 1996 sales increased 8% compared with the first quarter of 
1995, primarily due to higher unit volumes.  Currency changes against the 
U.S. dollar negatively affected sales by $15 million in 1996.  Sales for the 
Consumer Imaging segment increased significantly, while Commercial Imaging 
segment sales increased slightly.  Consumer Imaging sales increased 
significantly both to customers in the U.S. and outside the U.S., due to 
worldwide volume increases of Kodacolor 35mm films, Ektacolor papers, 
photofinishing services and cameras.  Commercial Imaging sales to customers 
in the U.S. were essentially level with the first quarter of 1995.  Sales to 
customers outside the U.S. showed a moderate increase from the prior year, as 
good volume gains were partially offset by lower effective selling prices.  
Sales of motion picture films and many of the newer digital products led the 
worldwide sales increase.

Earnings from operations decreased 4% from the first quarter of 1995, as the 
benefits of increased unit volumes were more than offset by lower gross 
profit, higher levels of selling, general and administrative activity, and 
higher research and development activity.  The primary factors contributing 
to the decrease of one percentage point in the gross profit rate were price 
declines in certain product categories and a slightly different product mix 
with proportionately less sales coming from higher margin sensitized 
products.  Additionally, advertising and other costs for the Company's new 
Advantix system products contributed to the increase in selling, general and 
administrative expenses.  

Consumer Imaging operating earnings increased 10%, as the benefits of 
increased unit volumes were partially offset by higher levels of advertising 
associated with the new Advantix system products and lower effective selling 
prices.  Commercial Imaging operating earnings decreased 11% from the first 
quarter of 1995, as the adverse effects of lower effective selling prices, 
higher research and development activity and increased selling, general and 
administrative activity more than offset the benefits of increased unit 
volumes.

Earnings from  equity interests and other revenues decreased for the first 
quarter of 1996 compared with 1995, due primarily to lower earnings from 
equity interests.  Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was 
essentially level with 1995, as total borrowings were generally consistent 
year over year.  The decrease in other costs in 1996 compared with 1995 is 
due primarily to lower net losses in 1996 from foreign exchange transactions 
and the translation of net monetary items in highly inflationary economies.  
The lower effective tax rate in 1996 principally results from the utilization 
of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Available cash reserves and cash from operations have been and will be used 
to complete the $1 billion and $2 billion stock repurchase programs.

Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 1996 was $424 million, 
primarily due to net earnings of $274 million, which included non-cash 
expenses for depreciation and amortization of $213 million, and a $286 million 
decrease in receivables.  Net cash outflow from investing activities was 
$223 million for the first quarter of 1996, due primarily to capital 
expenditures of $250 million.  Net cash outflow from financing activities of 
$827 million for the first quarter of 1996 was primarily due to the $571 
million stock repurchase and $137 million of dividend payments.

Total cash dividends of approximately $137 million ($.40 per share) and $136 
million ($.40 per share) were declared in the first quarters of 1996 and 
1995, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased from $1,811 
million at December 31, 1995 to $1,167 million at March 31, 1996.  Net 
working capital also decreased from $2,666 million at year-end 1995 to $2,128 
million at March 31, 1996.  Both decreases are primarily attributable to the 
stock repurchase program.

Capital additions for the first quarter of 1996 were $250 million compared 
with $238 million for the first quarter of 1995.

                        Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings


In April 1987, the Company was sued in federal district court in San 
Francisco by a number of independent service organizations who alleged 
violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act and of various state 
statutes in the sale by the Company of repair parts for its copier and 
micrographics equipment (Image Technical Service, Inc. (ITS), et al v. 
Eastman Kodak Company).  The complaint sought unspecified compensatory and 
punitive damages.  Trial began on June 19, 1995 and concluded on September 
18, 1995 with a jury verdict for plaintiffs of $23,948,300, before trebling.  
The Company has appealed the jury's verdict and intends to continue to defend 
this action vigorously.

Two cases that raise essentially the same antitrust issues as ITS are pending 
in federal district court in San Francisco (Nationwide, et al v. Eastman 
Kodak Company, filed March 10, 1995, and A-1 Copy Center, et al v. Eastman 
Kodak Company, filed December 13, 1993, the latter a consolidated class 
action).  The complaints in Nationwide and A-1 seek unspecified compensatory 
and punitive damages.  Stays in both these cases were lifted effective March 
1, 1996, and trials are possible within the next two years.  The Company is 
defending both of these matters vigorously.

The Company is participating in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Section 8 (e) Compliance Audit Program.  
As a participant, the Company has agreed to audit its files for materials 
which under current EPA guidelines would be subject to notification under 
Section 8 (e) of TSCA and to pay stipulated penalties for each report 
submitted under this program.  The Company anticipates that its liability 
under the Program will be $1,000,000.

In addition to the foregoing environmental action, the Company has been 
designated as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended 
(the Superfund law), or under similar state laws, for environmental 
assessment and cleanup costs as the result of the Company's alleged 
arrangements for disposal of hazardous substances at approximately 
twenty-five Superfund sites.  With respect to each of these sites, the 
Company's actual or potential allocated share of responsibility is small.  
Furthermore, numerous other PRPs have similarly been designated at these 
sites and, although the law imposes joint and several liability on PRPs, as a 
practical matter, costs are shared with other PRPs.  Settlements and costs 
paid by the Company in Superfund matters to date have not been material.  
Future costs are also not expected to be material to the Company's financial 
condition.
