                    Notes to Financial Statements - March 31, 1995

                                     (Unaudited)

          (1)     Basis of Presentation 
                  _____________________

          The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect
          the financial position of Landauer, Inc. ("Landauer") as of March
          31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and the results of operations
          and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended
          March 31, 1995 and 1994.  In the opinion of management, the
          accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all
          adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
          Landauer as of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and the
          results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods
          ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, and cash flows for the six-month
          periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

          The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
          Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the 1994 Landauer
          Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference.

          The results of operations for the three-month and six-month
          periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily
          indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

          (2)     Cash Dividends 
                  ______________

          On March 15, 1995, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash
          dividend in the amount of $.25 per share payable on April 13,
          1995, to stockholders of record on March 31, 1995.  On November
          3, 1994, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend
          in the amount of $.25 per share payable on January 12, 1995, to
          stockholders of record on December 30, 1994.

          Regular quarterly cash dividends of $.22 per share ($.88
          annually) were declared during fiscal 1994.

                              and Results of Operations

          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          _______________________________

          Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the six months
          ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $4,239,000 and
          $4,123,000, respectively.  Investing activities for the first
          half of fiscal 1995 and 1994 resulted in net dispositions of
          principally short-term U.S. Treasury securities of $3,011,000 and
          $486,000, respectively.  Offsetting these were acquisitions of
          property, plant and equipment in the amount of $1,528,000 and
          $692,000, respectively.  The Company's financing activities were
          limited to payments of cash dividends, offset by foreign
          dividends received from Nagase-Landauer, Ltd., our Japanese joint
          venture.

             Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                         and Results of Operations (Cont'd.)


          The Company has no long-term liabilities and its requirement for
          cash flow to support investing activities is generally limited. 
          Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1995 are expected
          to amount to $1,100,000, principally for the development of
          computer hardware and software systems and acquisition of
          equipment for productivity and technology enhancements.  The
          Company anticipates that funds for these capital improvements
          will be provided from operations.

          The Company presently maintains no external sources of liquidity,
          and, in the opinion of management, resources are adequate for
          projected operations and capital spending programs, as well as
          continuation of the regular cash dividend program.

          Landauer requires limited working capital for its operations
          since many of its customers pay for annual services in advance. 
          Such advance payments amounted to $7,217,000 and $6,602,000,
          respectively, as of March 31, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and
          are included in deferred contract revenue.  While these amounts
          represent approximately one-half of current liabilities, such
          amounts do not represent a cash requirement.

          Results of Operations
          _____________________

          Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were 4% higher
          compared with the same quarter a year ago.  The increase in
          revenues was entirely attributable to gains in the Company's
          traditional radiation dosimetry business.  Gross margins for the
          second fiscal quarter were 71.2% of the revenues compared to
          70.5% for the same period in fiscal 1994.  The increase in
          margins was attributable to higher revenues and lower direct
          labor and overhead costs.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower for the
          current quarter as a percent of revenues at 26.7% compared to
          27.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The decrease
          reflected a growth in revenues with only a slight increase in
          expenses.  As a result, operating income for the second fiscal
          quarter of 1995 was 44.4% of revenues compared to 42.9% for the
          same period last year.  Income before income taxes was 48.4% of
          the revenues for the quarter just ended compared to 45.5% for the
          second fiscal quarter of 1994.

          The effective tax rate for the Company during the second quarter
          of fiscal 1995 was 37.3% compared with 37.8% for the same period
          last year.  Resulting net income of $2,635,000 for the second
          fiscal quarter of 1995 was more than 11% higher than $2,364,000
          reported in fiscal 1994.  Income per share for the quarter was
          $.31 versus $.28 for the second fiscal quarter of 1994.

             Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                         and Results of Operations (Cont'd.)


          Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1995, were 5% higher
          compared with the first six months of fiscal 1994.  The increase
          in revenues was attributable to gains in the Company's
          traditional radiation dosimetry business.  Gross margins for the
          first half of fiscal 1995 were higher at 70.5% of revenues
          compared with 69.9% a year ago.  The increase in gross margins
          was principally attributable to a lower growth rate in overhead
          costs relative to the increase in revenues.

          Selling, general, and administrative expenses were lower for the
          first half of fiscal 1995 as a percent of revenues at 27.6%
          compared to 28.3% for the first half of fiscal 1994.  The
          decrease reflected a lower growth rate in expenses than in
          revenues.  As a result, operating income for the first half of
          fiscal 1995 was 43.0% of revenues compared to 41.6% for the same
          period last year.  Income before income taxes was 46.8% of
          revenues for the six months just ended, compared with 44.4% for
          the same period in fiscal 1994.

          The effective tax rate for the Company during the first half of
          fiscal 1995 was lower at 37.3% compared with 37.7% for the first
          six months of 1994.  Resulting net income of $4,895,000 for the
          first six months of 1995 was 12% higher than $4,378,000 reported
          in fiscal 1994.  Income per share thus far in fiscal 1995 was
          $.58 versus $.52 for the same period in fiscal 1994.
