               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 October  3,  1998  and
January 3, 1998 and the results of operations and cash flows  for
the  periods presented.  The results of the three-month and nine-
month  periods  are not necessarily indicative of  the  operating
results for the entire year.

      The  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" as of January
4,  1998.   This statement establishes requirements for reporting
and  display of comprehensive income and its components.  For the
nine  months ended October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997,  total
Comprehensive Income, which includes foreign currency translation
adjustments,    amounted   to   $12,145,000    and    $9,594,000,
respectively.

(2) Earnings Per Share

     Basic  EPS  excludes  dilution and is computed  by  dividing
income  available  to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted  EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities of
other  contracts to issue stock were exercised or converted  into
common  stock  or resulted in the issuance of common  stock  that
then shared in the earnings of the entity.

(3)  Acquisition of Business

     On  March  16,  1998,  the  Company  purchased  all  of  the
outstanding  common  stock of Multum Information  Systems,  Inc.,
(Multum)  for  $6.9  million.   Multum  is  a  supplier  to   the
healthcare  industry of drug knowledge databases and  intelligent
software   components  that  improve  the   quality   and   cost-
effectiveness of medical care.  The Company plans to  incorporate
Multum's  drug information and expert dosing component  into  its
Health   Network  Architecture  Millennium  solutions  to  enable
Multum's expert knowledge to become executable within the process
of care delivery.

     The  acquisition has been accounted for using  the  purchase
method  of  accounting  with  the  operating  results  of  Multum
included  in  the  Company's consolidated statement  of  earnings
since  the  date  of acquisition.  Five million  dollars  of  the
purchase   price  was  allocated  to  in-process   research   and
development  that had not reached technological  feasibility  and
was  treated as a one-time charge to earnings reducing after  tax
income  for the nine month period ended October 3, 1998  by  $3.1
million or $.09 per share on a diluted basis.

     The  allocation of the purchase price to the estimated  fair
values  of the identified tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, resulted in goodwill of $1,581,000.  The
goodwill is being amortized straight-line over seven years.

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

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

Three Months Ended October 3, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 27, 1997

     The Company's revenues increased 36% to $82,832,000 for  the
three-month period ended October 3, 1998 from $60,777,000 for the
three-month  period  ended  September  27,  1997.   Net  earnings
increased  43%  to $6,348,000 in the 1998 period from  $4,445,000
for the 1997 period.

     System  sales revenues increased 42% to $60,395,000 for  the
three-month period ended October 3, 1998 from $42,500,000 for the
corresponding  period in 1997. The increase in the  system  sales
revenue is due to an increase in revenue from HNA (Health Network
Architecture)  contracts and increased revenue  from  stand-alone
contracts.  The revenue from the sale of additional hardware  and
software products to the installed client base increased  37%  in
the third quarter of 1998 over the same period in 1997.

     At October 3, 1998, the Company had $272,277,000 in contract
backlog  and  $146,328,000  in support and  maintenance  backlog,
compared to $171,156,000 in contract backlog and $128,194,000  in
support and maintenance backlog at September 27, 1997.

    Support and maintenance revenues increased 16% to $19,998,000
during the third quarter of 1998 from $17,167,000 during the same
period  in 1997.  This increase was due primarily to the increase
in the Company's installed and converted client base.

     Other  revenues increased 120% to $2,439,000  in  the  third
quarter of 1998 from $1,110,000 in the same period of 1997.  This
increase   was   due  primarily  to  services  performed   beyond
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  24%  of
total  revenues  in the third quarter of 1998 and  26%  of  total
revenues  in  the comparable period in 1997.  Such  costs,  as  a
percent  of revenues, typically have varied as the mix of revenue
(software,   hardware,  maintenance,  and   support)   components
carrying different margin rates changes from period to period.

     Sales and client service expenses include salaries of client
service   personnel,  communications  expenses  and  unreimbursed
travel expenses.  Also included are sales and marketing salaries,
trade  show  costs and advertising costs.  These  expenses  as  a
percent  of total revenues were 36% and 34% in the third  quarter
of  1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase in total sales and
client  service expenses to $30,172,000 in 1998 from  $20,743,000
in  1997 was attributable to the cost of a larger regional  sales
and services organization and marketing of new products.

    Software development expenses include salaries, documentation
and  other  direct expenses incurred in product  development,  as
well  as  amortization  of  software  development  costs.   Total
expenditures for software development, including both capitalized
and  noncapitalized portions, for the third quarter of  1998  and
1997  were  $19,322,000  and  $14,462,000,  respectively.   These
amounts    exclude   amortization   of   previously   capitalized
expenditures.   Capitalized software costs  were  $6,373,000  and
$4,352,000  for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The  increase in aggregate expenditures for software  development
in  1998  was  due to development of HNA Millennium products  and
development of community care products.

     General  and  administrative expenses include  salaries  for
corporate,   financial,  and  administrative  staffs,  utilities,
communications  expenses, and professional fees.  These  expenses
as  a  percent  of  total revenues were 8% and 9%  in  the  third
quarter  of  1998  and  1997, respectively.   Total  general  and
administrative expenses for the third quarter of  1998  and  1997
were $6,544,000 and  $5,508,000, respectively.


                                     5

<PAGE>

     Net  interest income (expense) was ($145,000) in  the  third
quarter of 1998 compared to $546,000 for the same period in 1997.
This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in invested cash.

     The  Company's  effective tax rate was  38%  for  the  third
quarter of 1998 and 1997.

     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 results to continue.

Nine  Months Ended October 3, 1998 Compared to Nine Months  Ended
September 27, 1997

     The Company's revenues increased 34% to $235,658,000 for the
nine-month period ended October 3, 1998 from $175,226,000 for the
nine-month  period  ended  September  27,  1997.   Net   earnings
increased  28% to $12,388,000 in the 1998 period from  $9,706,000
for  the  1997  period.  Excluding a one-time  write-off  of  in-
process  research  and  development,  net  earnings  would   have
increased 60% to $15,486,000, relative to the 1997 period.

     System sales revenues increased 42% to $171,987,000 for  the
nine-month period ended October 3, 1998 from $121,367,000 for the
corresponding  period in 1997. The increase in the  system  sales
revenue is due to an increase in revenue from HNA (Health Network
Architecture)  contracts and an increase in revenue  from  stand-
alone contracts. The revenue from the sale of additional hardware
and  software products to the installed client base increased 28%
in the first nine-months of 1998 over the same period in 1997.

     At October 3, 1998, the Company had $272,277,000 in contract
backlog  and  $146,328,000  in support and  maintenance  backlog,
compared to $171,156,000 in contract backlog and $128,194,000  in
support and maintenance backlog at September 27, 1997.

    Support and maintenance revenues increased 14% to $56,719,000
during the first nine months of 1998 from $49,890,000 during  the
same  period  in  1997.  This increase was due primarily  to  the
increase in the Company's installed and converted client base.

     Other revenues increased 75% to $6,952,000 in the first nine
months of 1998 from $3,969,000 in the same period of 1997.   This
increase   was   due  primarily  to  services  performed   beyond
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  27%  of
total  revenues in the first nine months of 1998 and 30% of total
revenues  in  the comparable period in 1997.  Such  costs,  as  a
percent  of revenues, typically have varied as the mix of revenue
(software,   hardware,  maintenance,  and   support)   components
carrying different margin rates changes from period to period.

     Sales and client service expenses include salaries of client
service   personnel,  communications  expenses  and  unreimbursed
travel expenses.  Also included are sales and marketing salaries,
trade  show  costs and advertising costs.  These  expenses  as  a
percent  of  total revenues were 36% and 34% in  the  first  nine
months  of  1998 and 1997, respectively.  The increase  in  total
sales  and  client service expenses to $84,231,000 in  1998  from
$59,798,000  in  1997 was attributable to the cost  of  a  larger
regional  sales  and services organization and marketing  of  new
products.

    Software development expenses include salaries, documentation
and  other  direct expenses incurred in product  development,  as
well  as  amortization  of  software  development  costs.   Total
expenditures for software development, including both capitalized
and noncapitalized portions, for the first nine months  of 1998
and  1997  were $54,070,000 and $39,496,000,  respectively.
These  amounts  exclude  amortization of  previously  capitalized
expenditures.   Capitalized software costs were  $18,235,000  and
$13,098,000  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1998  and   1997,
respectively.    The  increase  in  aggregate  expenditures   for
software  development  in  1998 was due  to  development  of  HNA
Millennium products and development of community care products.


                                  6

<PAGE>

     General  and  administrative expenses include  salaries  for
corporate,   financial,  and  administrative  staffs,  utilities,
communications  expenses, and professional fees.  These  expenses
as  a  percent of total revenues were 8% and 9% in the first nine
months  of  1998  and  1997,  respectively.   Total  general  and
administrative  expenses for the first nine months  of  1998  and
1997 were $18,999,000 and  $16,216,000, respectively.

     Write-off of in process research and development is  a  one-
time expense resulting from the acquisition of Multum.

    Net interest income (expense) was ($69,000) in the first nine
months  of  1998  compared to $1,704,000 for the same  period  in
1997.   This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in  invested
cash.

     The  Company's effective tax rates were 38% and 39% for  the
first nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.


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

     The  Company's liquidity position remains strong with  total
cash   and  cash  equivalents  of  $16,708,000  and  short   term
investments of $26,885,000 at October 3, 1998 and working capital
of  $154,565,000.  The Company generated net cash from operations
of   $4,586,000  and  $17,671,000 during the nine  month  periods
ended October 3, 1998 and September 27, 1997, respectively.   The
decrease  in  net cash from operations is due to the increase  in
receivables from record revenues.  The Company acquired Multum on
March 16, 1998 for $6.9 million.  The Company has $18,000,000  of
long-term,  revolving  credit  from  banks,  all  of  which   was
available as of October 3, 1998.

    Revenues provided under the Company's support and maintenance
agreements represent recurring cash flows.  The Company's revenue
backlog  at  October  3, 1998 included $146,328,000  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.


Year 2000 Issues
- - ----------------

     Computer programs that use two digits to identify a year may
fail or create errors in the year 2000, leading to system failures
or miscalculations causing disruptions to the operations of the 
user.  The Company has conducted a Year 2000 review of its operations
focusing on the Company's products and their use by its clients, the 
computers, operating systems and data bases used in conjunction with
its products and the Company's internal operations.

     Client

     All versions of the Company's software products currently being
marketed are Year 2000 compliant.  The costs incurred to make all 
versions compliant have occurred in the ordinary course of software
development and enhancement have not been material. All of the 
Company's clients using older versions of the Company's software 
products are entitled to upgrade to the compliant versions with no
charge for the compliant version.  However, some have elected not to
do so for a variety of reasons.  The Company is working with the 
clients who wish to upgrade to address Year 2000 issues.  These 
clients have either upgraded to compliant versions or are scheduled
to be upgraded to compliant version of the Company's software by 
August 1999.  The Company is assisting those clients to upgrade
electronically from the Company's facilities without charge.  If the

material.The Company is also engaged in many projects to implement
the Company's products at client sites. These projects require efforts
both by the Company and the clients.  For some of these clients, these
projects constitute their solution to Year 2000 issues.  All of these
projects are planned to be completed by September 1999.  

     Internal Operations

     The Company believes that its third-party software applications,
operating systems and telephone systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The
Company does have some internally developed software applications that
require upgrading to be Year 2000 compliant.  These upgrades are being 
done internally and should be complete and tested by March 1999.  The 
Company has also replaced some older computers and operating systems
that were not Year 2000 compliant in the normal course of infrastructure
maintenance.

     Suppliers

     The suppliers of the computers, operating systems and data bases 
necessary to operate the current versions of the Company's software 
products have indicated to the Company that those products either are
Year 2000 compliant or they will be by the end of 1999.  The Company
has conducted tests of such computers, operating systems and data bases
with the Company's products now being marketed and currently has no 
reason to believe that the Company's products are not Year 2000 compliant
when operated with such computers, operating systems and data bases.

     Although the Company beleives it Year 2000 review and the actions
it has taken and plans to take in response to the review are appropriate,
there can be no assurance that the review identified all possible issues
or that all identified issues will be satisfactorily resolved.  A material
falure of the Company's internal systems to be Year 2000 compliant, a
material failure in suppliers of the computers, operating systems and 
data bases used in conjunction with the Company's products to be Year
2000 compliant or a material delay in client projects related to Year
2000 issues could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
earnings or financial condition.
