                         OGDEN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in the
opinion of Management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results have
been included in the statements.

In connection with its restructuring plan, Ogden sold in the first quarter
of 1996 the laboratory business (ATI) of Ogden Environmental and Energy
Services (OEES) and W. J. Schafer.  The Professional Services group was sold
in April 1996.  In addition, the environmental business of OEES was
transferred to Ogden Projects, Inc. as of January 1, 1996.

The accompanying financial statements have been reclassified as to certain
amounts to conform with the 1996 presentation.
 
ITEM 2 -  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Operations:

Revenues for the first three months of 1996 were $18,300,000 higher than the
comparable period of 1995, primarily reflecting increased revenues of
$25,100,000 in Entertainment Services primarily due to new contracts at the
General Motors Place, the Target Center and the Corel Centre, as well as
increased customer activity including the start-up of operations in the
United Kingdom; $15,700,000 in Technology Services primarily due to Atlantic
Design reflecting the start-up of operations in Ireland and Mexico;
$6,900,000 in Waste-to-Energy Services primarily reflecting operations of
the Montgomery County and Onondaga County facilities which commenced
operations in August and March 1995, respectively.  These increases were
partially offset by reduced revenues of $23,800,000 in construction services
primarily reflecting the completion of the Montgomery County Facility in
August 1995 and no other new facility construction during the period; and
$7,100,000 in Ogden Environmental Services primarily due to the sale of its
Laboratory Services business in the first quarter of 1996.

Consolidated Operating income for the first three months of 1996 was
$3,100,000 lower than the comparable period of 1995, primarily due to
reduced income of $4,700,000 in construction activities resulting from the
completion of the Montgomery County facility in August 1995 and reduced
activity at the Detroit facility and $1,400,000 in Aviation Services,
primarily reflecting reduced ground services operations.  These decreases
were partially offset by increased earnings of $2,700,000 in Entertainment
Services, primarily due to new contracts and increased customer activity;
$1,700,000 in Waste-to-Energy Services (service revenues less operating
costs and debt service charges) primarily due to the full commercial
operations of the Montgomery County and Onondaga County facilities.


<PAGE>

Debt service charges for the first three months of 1996 were $2,200,000
higher than the comparable period of 1995 due primarily to debt service
costs on the Onondaga facility which commenced commercial operations in
March 1995. The corporation has three fixed interest rate swap agreements
entered into as hedges against interest rate exposure on three series of
adjustable-rate project debt resulted in additional debt service of $250,000
in the first quarter of 1996 and lower debt service of $15,000 in the
comparable period of 1995.

Interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was $900,000 lower than the
comparable period of 1995, principally reflecting the sale of marketable
securities during late 1995.  Interest expense was $300,000 higher chiefly
associated with increased borrowings and a net increase of $230,000 in
interest costs on two interest rate swap agreements covering notional
amounts of $100,000,000 and $7,500,000, respectively.  The first swap
agreement expires on December 16, 1998 and was entered into in order to
convert Ogden's fixed-rate $100,000,000 9.25% debentures into variable rate
debt.  The second swap expires November 30, 2000 and was entered into in
December 1995 in order to convert Ogden's $7,500,000 variable rate debt to a
fixed rate.  During the first three months of 1996, Ogden received $30,000
on these swap agreements, while in the first quarter of 1995 Ogden paid
$200,000 on the $100,000,000 swap agreement.

Equity in net income of investees and joint ventures for the first three
months of 1996 was $2,300,000 lower than the comparable period of 1995
primarily reflecting lower earnings of $1,600,000 in Independent Power Joint
Venture operations due to reduced prices and power sales; and $700,000 in
the Services Segment primarily due to the start up of Entertainment Services
Joint Venture operations in Argentina and seasonal losses at other new
venues.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
42% compared with 44% for the comparable period of 1995.  This 2% decrease
in the tax rate is due primarily to reduced overall foreign tax rates
reflecting lower non-deductible foreign losses and the use of foreign tax
loss carryforwards.

Capital Investments and Commitments: During the first three months of 1996,
capital investments amounted to $13,600,000, of which $5,400,000, inclusive
of restricted funds transferred from funds held in trust, was for Projects'
waste-to-energy operations and $8,200,000 was for normal replacement and
growth in Services' and Projects' operations.

At March 31, 1996, capital commitments amounted to $53,900,000 for normal
replacement, modernization, and growth in Services' ($40,000,000) and
Projects' ($13,900,000) operations.  In addition, compliance with recently
promulgated standards and guidelines under the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 may require additional capital expenditures of $30,000,000 during the
next four years.

Ogden and certain of its subsidiaries have issued or are party to
performance bonds and guarantees and related contractual obligations
undertaken mainly pursuant to agreements to construct and operate certain
waste-to-energy, entertainment, and other  facilities.  In the normal course
of business, they are involved in legal proceedings in which damages and
other remedies are sought.  Management does not expect that these
contractual obligations, legal proceedings, or any other contingent
obligations incurred in the normal course of business will have a material
adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.



<PAGE>



During 1994, a subsidiary of the Corporation entered into a 30-year facility
management contract pursuant to which it agreed to advance funds to a
customer, if necessary, to assist refinancing senior secured debt incurred
in connection with construction of the facility.  Such refinancing
requirements are not expected to exceed $75,000,000 at maturity of the
senior secured debt, which is expected to be on or about March 1, 2001.  In
addition, at March 31, 1996, the Corporation has guaranteed indebtedness of 
$12,600,000 of an affiliate and principal tenant of this customer.  The 
Corporation increased this guaranty to $16,100,000 in April 1996.  Ogden 
continues as guarantor of surety bonds and letters of credit totaling 
approximately $17,500,000 on behalf of International Terminal Operating Co. Inc.
and has guaranteed borrowings of certain customers amounting to approximately
$27,700,000.  Management does not expect that these arrangements will have a
material adverse effect on Ogden's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity/Cash Flow: Net cash provided from operating activities was
$12,500,000 higher, primarily due to a $7,600,000 decrease in accounts
receivable primarily reflecting the sale of the ATI laboratories and W. J.
Schafer in the first quarter, increased cash flows generated from operations
of $4,000,000 and a $3,400,0000 increase in retainage payable; offset in
part by a $4,700,000 increase in inventory and a decrease in other
liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $6,000,000 lower primarily
reflecting $8,500,000 proceeds from the sale of business; $6,900,000 lower
costs of acquisitions;  $13,400,000 in reduced investments in Waste-to-
Energy facilities and other capital expenditures; partially offset by
reduced  proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $23,900,000.  

Net cash used in financing activities increased $11,800,000 primarily due to
lower borrowings of $6,400,000 and $4,200,000 increased debt payments.

Exclusive of changes in waste-to-energy facility construction activities,
the Corporation's various types of contracts are not expected to have a
material affect on liquidity.  Debt service associated with project debt,
which is an explicit component of a client community's obligation under its
service agreement, is paid as it is billed and collected.  Cash required for
investing and financing activities is expected to be satisfied from
operating activities; available funds, including short-term investments; 
proceeds from the sale of noncore businesses; and the Corporation's unused
credit facilities to the extent needed.  At March 31, 1996, the Corporation
had $97,279,000 in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and
unused revolving credit lines of $148,200,000.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          Ogden Corporation and  its subsidiaries (the "Company")
are  parties  to  various  legal  proceedings  involving  matters
arising in the ordinary course of business.  The Company does not
believe that there are any  pending legal proceedings for damages
against  the Company,  including  the legal  proceeding described
below, the outcome of which  would have a material adverse effect
on the Company on a consolidated basis.

          As  previously disclosed,  Ogden was  the  defendant in
actions brought in  state court in Fort Worth  and Houston, Texas
by several individuals  who claimed that  Ogden had breached  its
obligations to  them to develop  a hazardous waste facility.   In
March 1995, the Fort Worth court entered partial summary judgment
for the plaintiffs (the  "Fort Worth Plaintiffs") in  that action
on the  issue  of  whether  Ogden had  breached  its  contractual
obligations.  Subsequently,  the Houston case was abated  and the
plaintiffs in that case (the "Intervening Plaintiffs") intervened
in the Fort Worth  action.  In October  1995 the Company  settled
with  the Fort Worth  Plaintiffs, pursuant  to which  the summary
judgment   was  vacated.    In  February  1996,  the  Intervening
Plaintiffs and  Ogden reached an  oral agreement to  settle their
action  as well.    A definitive  settlement  agreement is  being
prepared.

(b)       Environmental Matters

          The   Company  conducts   regular   inquiries  of   its
subsidiaries  regarding litigation  and environmental  violations
which  include determining the  nature, amount and  likelihood of
liability for  any such  claims, potential  claims or  threatened
litigation.

          In the ordinary course of its business, the Company may
become involved in Federal, state, and local proceedings relating
to the  laws  regulating  the discharge  of  materials  into  the
environment and the protection of the environment.  These include
proceedings  for the  issuance,  amendment,  or  renewal  of  the
licenses  and  permits  pursuant to  which  a  Company subsidiary
operates.    Such  proceedings also  include  actions  brought by
individuals or local governmental authorities seeking to overrule
governmental decisions  on matters relating to  the subsidiaries'
operations  in   which  the  subsidiary   may  be,  but   is  not
necessarily,  a  party.   Most  proceedings  brought  against the
Company  by  governmental  authorities or  private  parties under
these laws relate to alleged technical violations of regulations,
licenses, or  permits pursuant  to which  a subsidiary  operates.
The  Company believes  that  such  proceedings  will not  have  a
material adverse effect on the Company on a consolidated basis.












<PAGE>


          The  Company's   operations  are  subject   to  various
Federal, state  and  local environmental  laws  and  regulations,
including  the   Clean  Air  Act,   the  Clean  Water   Act,  the
Comprehensive Environmental  Response Compensation  and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and  Resource Conservation and Recovery  Act (RCRA).
Although the  Company  operations  are  occasionally  subject  to
proceedings  and  orders   pertaining  to   emissions  into   the
environment  and  other  environmental  violations,  the  Company
believes  that  it  is in  substantial  compliance  with existing
environmental laws and regulations.

          In   connection   with  certain   previously   divested
operations,  the  Company  may be  identified,  along  with other
entities,  as   being  among   potentially  responsible   parties
responsible  for  contribution  for  costs  associated  with  the
correction and remediation of environmental conditions at various
hazardous  waste disposal  sites subject to  CERCLA.   In certain
instances  the Company  may  be  exposed  to  joint  and  several
liability for remedial action or damages.  The Company's ultimate
liability in  connection  with  such  environmental  claims  will
depend on many factors, including its volumetric share  of waste,
the total cost  of remediation, the financial viability  of other
companies  that  also  sent  waste   to  a  given  site  and  its
contractual arrangement with the purchaser of such operations.

          The potential  costs related  to such  matters and  the
possible impact on future operations are uncertain due in part to
the  complexity  of  government laws  and  regulations  and their
interpretations, the varying costs  and effectiveness of  cleanup
technologies, the uncertain level of insurance or other  types of
recovery,   and  the   questionable   level   of  the   Company's
responsibility.   Although the  ultimate outcome  and expense  of
environmental remediation is uncertain, the Company believes that
required remediation and continuing compliance with environmental
laws will not have a material adverse  effect on the Company on a
consolidated basis.

COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS APPLICABLE TO COMMON SHARES-
ASSUMING FULL DILUTION:
Consolidated income applicable to Ogden common stock  $  9,288   $  12,092

Note:
     Earnings per common share was computed by dividing income, increased
     (decreased) for adjustments arising from minority interest in
     consolidated subsidiaries, reduced by preferred stock dividends
     requirements, by the weighted average of the number of shares of common
     stock and common stock equivalents, where dilutive, outstanding during
     each period.

     Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, was computed on the
     assumption that all convertible debentures, convertible preferred
     stock, and stock options converted or exercised during each period, or
     outstanding at the end of each period were converted at the beginning
     of each period or the date of issuance or grant, if dilutive.  This
     computation provides for the elimination of related convertible
     debenture interest and preferred dividends.
