                    CERNER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) Interim Statement Presentation

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have  been
prepared  by  the  Company  without  audit,  pursuant  to  the  rules   and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information
and  footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial  statements
prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles  have
been  condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the  Company  believes  that  the disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the
information  presented  not  misleading.   It  is  suggested   that   these
consolidated  financial  statements  be  read  in  conjunction   with   the
consolidated  financial statements and the notes thereto  included  in  the
Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

     In  the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial  statements include all adjustments (consisting  of  only  normal
recurring  accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position  at
March 30, 1996 and December 30, 1995 and the results of operations and cash
flows  for  the periods presented.  The results of the three-month  periods
are  not  necessarily indicative of the operating results  for  the  entire
year.

(2) Earnings Per Share

     Net  earnings per share for the three months ended March 30, 1996  and
April 1, 1995 is based on the weighted average number of common shares  and
common  share  equivalents outstanding during those periods.  Common  share
equivalents consist of shares issuable upon exercise of stock options using
the treasury stock method.


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


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

Three Months Ended March 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended April 1, 1995

     Revenues  for the three months ended March 30, 1996 increased  22%  to
$52,582,000 from $43,192,000 for the three months ended April 1, 1995.  Net
earnings  for  the  three  months ended March  30,  1996  decreased  7%  to
$4,222,000 from $4,541,000 in the same prior year period.
     
     In  the  1996 period, revenues increased due to an increase in  system
sales  and support of installed systems.  System sales in the first quarter
of  1996 increased 24% to $37,168,000 from $29,988,000 in the first quarter
of  1995.   This  increase  in system sales resulted  principally  from  an
increase  in installations under HNA contracts and additional hardware  and
software  sales  to  the  Company's existing client  base.   HNA  contracts
comprised  50%  of  total system sales in the first three  months  of  1996
compared  to  47%  for  the same period in 1995.  The  sale  of  additional
hardware  and software products to the installed client base increased  50%
in the first three months of 1996 over the first three months of 1995.

     At March 30, 1996, the Company had $89,406,000 in contract backlog and
$98,638,000 in support and maintenance backlog, compared to $54,726,000  in
contract  backlog  and  $81,022,000 in support and maintenance  backlog  on
April 1, 1995.

<PAGE>

      Support and maintenance revenues increased 17% to $13,579,000 in  the
first quarter of 1996 from $11,647,000 in the first quarter of 1995.   This
increase  was due primarily to the increase in the Company's installed  and
converted client base.

      Other  revenues increased 18% to $1,835,000 in the first  quarter  of
1996 from $1,557,000 in the same prior year period.  This increase was  due
primarily  to  an  increase  in  services performed  above  the  contracted
requirements for existing clients.

      The  cost  of  revenues  includes the cost of computer  hardware  and
sublicensed software purchased from computer and software manufacturers for
delivery to clients.  It also includes the cost of hardware maintenance and
sublicensed software support subcontracted to manufacturers.  The cost of
revenue was 33% of total revenues in the first quarter of 1996 compared to
28% of total revenues for the same period in 1995.  Such costs, as a
percent  of revenue, typically have varied as the mix of revenue (software,
hardware, and support) components carrying different margin rates changes
from  period to period.  The decrease in margin is due to equipment being a
larger component of system sales in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the
first quarter of 1995.

      Sales  and client service expenses include salaries of client service
personnel, communication expenses, and travel expenses.  Also included  are
sales  and marketing salaries, and trade show costs.  These expenses  as  a
percent of revenue were 30% and 26% in the first quarter of 1996 and  1995,
respectively.  The increase in total sales and client service  expenses  to
$15,623,000 in 1996 from $11,176,000 in 1995 was attributable to  personnel
and  operating  expenses  associated with the  larger  regional  sales  and
service organization and certain marketing initiatives.

      Software  development  expenses include salaries,  documentation  and
other  direct  expenses  incurred  in  products  development,  as  well  as
amortization  of  software development costs previously capitalized.  Total
expenditures for software development, including both capitalized and  non-
capitalized  portions  for  the  first  quarter  of  1996  and  1995   were
$10,049,000   and   $8,344,000,  respectively.    These   amounts   exclude
amortization.  Capitalized software costs for the first quarter of 1996 and
1995  were  $2,981,000  and  $2,061,000,  respectively.  The  increase   in
expenditures  for  software  development  in  1996  was  due  primarily  to
increased  investment in the development of version 500  of  the  Company's
existing  clinical information systems and new clinical information  system
products for automation of clinical processes.

      General  and administrative expenses include salaries for  corporate,
financial and administrative staffs, utilities, communications expenses and
professional fees.  These expenses as a percentage of revenues were  9%  in
the  first  quarter  of  1996 and 9% for the same period  in  1995.   Total
general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 and  1995
were $4,850,000 and $4,043,000, respectively.

      Net  interest income increased 243% in the first three months of 1996
over  the same period in 1995.  This decrease was due primarily to interest
income  from  investment of the proceeds from the  sale  of  3,716,000  new
shares of common stock from the August 1995 public offering.

      The  Company's quarterly revenues and net earnings have  historically
been  variable and cyclical.  The variability is attributable primarily  to
the number and size of project milestone events in any fiscal quarter.  The
Company expects fluctuations in quarterly financial results to continue.


Capital Resources and Liquidity
- -------------------------------

      The  Company's liquidity position remains strong with total cash  and
cash  equivalents of $7,893,000 and short term investments of  $106,302,000
at  March  30,  1996  and  working capital of  $173,266,000.   The  Company
generated net cash from operations of $10,214,000 and $5,509,000 during the
three  months ended March 30, 1996 and April 1, 1995.  During August  1995,
the  Company sold 3,716,000 shares of common stock.  The proceeds  of  this
sale,  net  of  underwriting discounts and commissions and  expenses,  were
$108,287,000.   Prior  to  the public offering  the  Company  financed  its
operations,  capital expenditures (other than the purchase  of  the  Kansas
City  headquarters  complex and its anticipated capital improvements),  and

<PAGE>

working  capital  from the internally generated funds and bank  borrowings.
The  Company has $18,000,000 of long-term, revolving credit from bank,  all
of which was available as of March 30, 1996.

       Revenues  provided  under  the  Company's  support  and  maintenance
agreements  represent recurring cash flows.  The Company's revenue  backlog
at  March  30,  1996  included $98,638,000 representing  twelve  months  of
equipment   maintenance  and  software  support  associated   with   signed
contracts.

     The Company believes its present cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investment  position,  together  with cash generated  from  operations  and
available under its current bank borrowing facility, will be sufficient  to
meet anticipated cash requirements during the next twelve months.
