         Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported net income of 
$90.1 million, or $.24 per common share on a diluted basis, compared to $41.9 
million, or $.08 per common share on a diluted basis, for the three months ended
June 30, 1997.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $1.73 billion, up 9% from 
revenue of $1.59 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Excluding the 
negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations, revenue in the current quarter
rose 12%.  Total gross profit percent was 33.7% in the second quarter of 1998 
compared to 34.0% in the year-ago period.

For the three months ended June 30, 1998, selling, general and administrative 
expenses were $328.6 million compared to $341.8 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997. The decline was largely due to the Company's cost 
reduction programs.  Research and development expenses were $70.0 million 
compared to $67.4 million a year earlier.

For the second quarter of 1998, the Company reported an operating income percent
of 10.7% compared to 8.1% for the second quarter of 1997.

Customer revenue in the quarter from Information Services was $623.5 million, up
29% from $484.1 million in 1997 principally as a result of growth in systems 
integration. The gross profit percent was 23.9% in the current quarter compared 
to 21.3% in the year-ago period.  This increase reflects improved quality and 
discipline in proposals and service delivery, continued benefits from completing
problem contracts, and the continued focus on higher-growth, higher-margin 
solution programs.  Information Services operating income percent (operating 
income as a percent of total revenue) was 3.9% for the second quarter of 1998 
compared to a negative 3.7% for the second quarter of 1997.

In Global Customer Services, customer revenue for the three months ended June 
30, 1998 was $582.5 million, up 7% from $542.2 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997.  The increase was due to growth in distributed computing 
support services revenue, which more than offset a continuing decline in core 
maintenance revenue. The gross profit percent for Global Customer Services was 
24.8% compared to 28.9% in the year-ago quarter.  Margins in this business 
continue to be impacted by the commoditization of hardware components within 
network integration projects and the ongoing shift from higher margin 
proprietary maintenance toward lower margin distributed computing support 
services.  The operating income percent for the second quarter of 1998 was 10.3%
compared to 11.2% last year.

Computer Systems customer revenue for the second quarter of 1998 was $522.5 
million, down 7% from $559.0 million in the second quarter of 1997.  In the 
quarter, an increase in ClearPath revenue and software revenue was offset by a 
decline, as expected, in personal computer revenue.  This reflects the Company's
previously announced decision to focus its technology resources on enterprise-
class servers and outsource the supply of notebooks, PCs, and entry-level 
servers.  Computer Systems gross profit percent was 45.4% compared to 43.3% last
year.  The operating income percent for the second quarter of 1998 was 17.0% 
compared to 13.5% last year.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $42.6 million 
compared to $59.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The 
decline was principally due to the Company's debt reduction program.

Other income (expense), net, which can vary from quarter to quarter, was an 
expense of $.9 million in the current quarter compared to an expense of $3.2 
million in the year-ago quarter.  The change was mainly due to lower goodwill 
amortization due to the December 1997 write-off of goodwill related to the 
Sperry/Burroughs merger.

Income before income taxes was $140.8 million, or 8.1% of revenue, in the 
second quarter of 1998 compared to $66.5 million, or 4.2% of revenue, last 
year.  The provision for income taxes was $50.7 million in the current period
compared to $24.6 million in the year-ago period.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $152.8 million, or $.38 
per diluted common share, compared to net income of $61.2 million, or $.02 per 
diluted common share, last year.  Revenue was $3.38 billion compared to $3.12 
billion for the first six months of 1997.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed the functional currency of its 
Brazilian operations from the U.S. dollar to the Brazilian local currency 
because the Brazilian economy is no longer considered highly inflationary.  
This change did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated 
financial position, consolidated results of operations, or liquidity.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of 
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2, "Software 
Revenue Recognition" and 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software 
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use".  SOP 97-2 provides guidance on 
applying generally accepted accounting principles in recognizing revenue on 
software transactions and SOP 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for the 
costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use.  Adoption 
of SOP 97-2 and 98-1 did not have a material effect on the Company's 
consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or 
liquidity.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative 
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement, which is effective for 
the year beginning January 1, 2000, establishes accounting and reporting 
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  SFAS No. 
133 requires a company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or 
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those 
instruments at fair value.  Management is evaluating the impact this statement
may have on the Company's financial statements.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 were $711.7 million compared to 
$803.0 million at December 31, 1997.  During the six months ended June 30, 1998 
cash provided by operations was $226.6 million compared to a year-ago cash 
usage of $176.3 million.  The increase in cash provided of $402.9 million was
due in large part to higher net income and improved working capital management, 
including improvements in inventory turns and accounts receivable days 
outstanding.

Cash used for investing activities during the first half of 1998 was $114.7 
million compared to $140.4 million during the first half of 1997. 

Cash used for financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998 
was $190.3 million compared to $214.0 million in the year-ago period.  
Included in the current period were proceeds of $195.2 million from issuance 
of debt, offset by principal payments of debt of $408.2 million.  Last year's
usage included $150.0 million for the redemption of Series C Cumulative 
Convertible Preferred Stock.

On January 30, 1998, the Company issued $200 million of 7 7/8% senior notes due 
2008.  The net proceeds from the sale of the notes were used to call $200 
million principal amount of the 10 5/8% senior notes due 1999.  On February 5, 
1998, the Company redeemed all $197.5 million of its 9 1/2% senior notes due on 
July 15, 1998.

At June 30, 1998, total debt was $1.5 billion, a decline of $181.8 million from 
December 31, 1997.

On July 16, 1998, the Company announced its plan to redeem at par in early 
October the remaining $130 million outstanding of its 10 5/8% notes, one year 
ahead of the due date in October 1999.  Notice of this redemption is expected 
to be given in early August.  On September 15, 1998, the Company will make a 
$30 million sinking fund payment, which includes a $20 million optional 
prepayment, on its 9 3/4% sinking fund debentures due 2016.

The Company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its 
securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending 
upon availability, market conditions, and other factors.

The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an 
effective registration statement covering $700 million of debt or equity 
securities, which enables the Company to be prepared for future market 
opportunities.

In June 1998, the Company entered into a $400 million, three-year credit 
agreement.  The new facility replaced the Company's more restrictive $200 
million credit agreement established in June 1997.  As of June 30, 1998, there 
were no borrowings outstanding under the agreement.

In May 1998, Moody's Investor Service raised its credit rating on the Company's 
senior long-term debt to Ba3 from B1.  In June 1998, Standard & Poor's 
Corporation raised its credit rating on the Company's senior long-term debt to 
BB- from B+.  The credit rating on the Company's senior long-term debt by 
Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. is BB.

At June 30, 1998, the Company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax 
liabilities of $1,425 million.  For the reasons cited below, management 
determined that it is more likely than not that $1,038 million of such assets 
will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $387 million.

The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax 
assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such 
allowance, if necessary.  The factors used to assess the likelihood of 
realization are the Company's forecast of future taxable income, which is 
adjusted by applying probability factors and available tax planning strategies 
that could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets.  The combination of 
these factors is expected to be sufficient to realize the $1,038 million of net 
deferred tax assets.  Approximately $3.0 billion of future taxable income 
(predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred tax assets.

The Company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net 
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Failure to achieve forecasted 
taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax 
assets.  See "Factors That May Affect Future Results" below.

Stockholders' equity increased $118.1 million during the six months ended June 
30, 1998, principally reflecting net income of $152.8 million and proceeds from 
the issuance of stock related to stock option and employee plans of $52.6 
million, offset in part by preferred stock dividends declared of $53.2 million 
and translation adjustments of $52.4 million.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------

From time to time, the Company provides information containing "forward-
looking" statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform 
Act of 1995.  All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are 
subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause the 
Company's actual results to differ materially from expectations.  In addition
to changes in general economic and business conditions and natural disasters,
these include, but are not limited to, the factors discussed below.

The Company operates in an industry characterized by aggressive competition, 
rapid technological change, evolving technology standards, and short product 
life cycles.  Future operating results will depend on the Company's ability to 
design, develop, introduce, deliver, or obtain new products and services on a 
timely and cost-effective basis; on its ability to mitigate the effects of 
competitive pressures and volatility in the information technology and services 
industry on revenues, pricing, and margins; on its ability to effectively 
manage the shift of its business mix away from traditional high-margin 
product and services offerings; and on its ability to successfully attract 
and retain highly skilled people.

Certain of the Company's systems integration contracts are fixed-price 
contracts under which the Company assumes the risk for the delivery of the 
contracted services at an agreed-upon price.  Future results will depend on 
the Company's ability to profitably perform these services contracts and bid 
and obtain new contracts.

Approximately 60% of the Company's total revenue derives from international 
operations.  The risks of doing business internationally include foreign 
currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in political or economic 
conditions, trade protection measures, and import or export licensing 
requirements.

Many computer systems will experience problems handling dates beyond the year 
1999 and therefore need to be modified prior to the year 2000 in order to 
remain functional.  The Company has been taking actions to ensure both the 
internal readiness of its computer systems and the compliance of computer 
products and software sold by it to customers for handling dates beginning in
the year 2000.  The Company does not believe that the cost of these actions 
will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.  However, future results may be adversely affected by a 
delay in, or increased costs associated with, the implementation of these 
actions, or by the Company's inability to implement them.

In the course of providing complex, integrated solutions to customers, the 
Company frequently forms alliances with third parties that have complementary 
products, services, or skills.  Future results will depend in part on the 
performance and capabilities of these third parties, including their ability to 
deal effectively with the year 2000 issue.  Future results will also depend 
upon the ability of external suppliers to deliver components at reasonable 
prices and in a timely manner and on the financial condition of and the 
Company's relationship with distributors and other indirect channel partners.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
- -------   -----------------

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
- -------   -----------------
As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the 
quarterly period ended March 31, 1998, the Company is involved in two lawsuits 
with Ceska Sporitelna, a savings bank in the Czech Republic (the "Bank").  The 
disputes relate to contracts entered into in 1992 and 1994 between the Bank and 
certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries to design and implement a 
computer system, including hardware and custom software, for the Bank's 
headquarters and branch offices throughout the Czech Republic.  In the first 
action, the Company is a defendant in Ceska Sporitelna, a.s. v. Unisys 
Corporation, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Pennsylvania in June, 1996.  The Bank alleges that Unisys made a 
series of fraudulent misrepresentations in connection with these contracts.  
The Bank seeks to recover more than $100 million, together with punitive 
damages. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these allegations
and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company has filed a counterclaim in
this action alleging fraud, negligent misrepresentation, intentional 
interference with prospective business relations and breach of contract by the
Bank, and the Company seeks to recover more than $100 million, together with 
punitive damages.  Trial is currently scheduled for January, 1999.  In the 
second action, the Company's subsidiary, Unisys International Services B.V., 
is the plaintiff in an arbitration captioned Unisys International Services 
B.V. v. Ceska Sporitelna, filed in March, 1998, in Vienna, Austria.  Unisys 
International seeks to recover, among other amounts, approximately $21.1 
million from the Bank for hardware, software and services delivered to and 
used by the Bank.
