     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     _______________________________

     Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the nine
     months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $7,811,000 and
     $6,642,000, 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 $601,000 and
     $16,000, respectively.  Offsetting these were acquisitions of
     property, plant and equipment in the amount of $1,859,000 and
     $1,249,000, 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 $700,000, principally for computer hardware, the
     development of 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 $7,436,000 and $6,602,000,
     respectively, as of June 30, 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 June 30, 1995 were 9% higher
     compared with the same quarter a year ago.  The increase in
     revenues was entirely attributable to unit gains and higher
     pricing in the Company's traditional radiation dosimetry
     business.  Gross margins for the third fiscal quarter were 70.7%
     of the revenues compared to 70.1% for the same period in fiscal
     1994.  The increase in margins was primarily attributable to
     higher revenues.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were slightly higher
     in the current quarter as a percent of revenues at 28.6% compared
     to 28.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a result,
     operating income for the third fiscal quarter of 1995 was 42.1%
     of revenues compared to 41.6% for the same period last year. 
     Income before income taxes was 46.2% of revenues for the quarter
     just ended compared to 44.5% for the third fiscal quarter of
     1994.

     The effective tax rate for the Company during the third quarter
     of fiscal 1995 was slightly lower at 37.2% compared with 37.3%
     for the same period last year.  Resulting net income of
     $2,487,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 1995 was more than 13%
     higher than $2,196,000 reported in fiscal 1994.  Income per share
     for the quarter was $.29 versus $.26 for the third fiscal quarter
     of 1994.

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


     Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, were about 7%
     higher compared with the first nine months of fiscal 1994.  The
     increase in revenues was attributable to unit gains and higher
     pricing in the Company's traditional radiation dosimetry
     business.  Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1995
     were higher at 70.6% of revenues compared with 70.0% a year ago. 
     The increase in gross margins was principally attributable to a
     lower growth rate in costs relative to the increase in revenues.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses were lower for the
     first nine months of fiscal 1995 as a percent of revenues at
     27.9% compared to 28.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 1994. 
     The decrease reflected a lower growth rate in expenses that in
     revenues.  As a result, operating income for the first nine
     months of fiscal 1995 was 42.7% of revenues compared to 41.6% for
     the same period last year.  Income before income taxes was 46.6%
     of revenues for the nine months just ended, compared with 44.5%
     for the same period in fiscal 1994.

     The effective tax rate for the Company during the first nine
     months of fiscal 1995 was lower at 37.3% compared with 37.6% for
     the first nine months of 1994.  Resulting net income of
     $7,382,000 for the first nine months of 1995 was 12% higher than
     $6,574,000 reported in fiscal 1994.  Income per share thus far in
     fiscal 1995 was $.87 versus $.78 for the same period in fiscal
     1994.
