                       Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and the Retirement Committee
Control Data Systems, Inc.:


We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net assets  available  for
plan  benefits  of the Control Data Systems, Inc. Personal Investment  Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements
based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the  audit  to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of  material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test  basis,
evidence   supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in   the   financial
statements.   An  audit  also includes assessing the accounting  principles
used  and  significant estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating
the  overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
Plan  as  of  December  31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes  in  net  assets
available  for  plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits  were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on  the  basic
financial  statements  taken  as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules  of
assets  held  for  investment  purposes  and  reportable  transactions  are
presented  for  the  purposes of complying with the Department  of  Labor's
Rules  and  Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under  the  Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part  of  the
basic financial statements.  The fund information in the statements of  net
assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes  of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available  for plan benefits
and changes in net assets  available for  plan benefits  of each fund.  The
supplemental  schedules  and fund  information have  been subjected to  the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                       Notes to Financial Statements
                        December 31, 1995 and 1994

 (1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   (a) Basis of Presentation
       
       The  accompanying financial statements are prepared  on  an  accrual
       basis.
       
   (b) Valuation of Investments
       
       Investments  are stated at their fair market value.  Investments  in
       Control   Data  Systems,  Inc.  ("Control  Data  Systems"   or   the
       "Company")  Common  Stock are valued by reference  to  the  National
       Association of Security Dealers Automated Quotations Stock  Exchange
       listing.   Investments  in  the  Ceridian  Corporation  ("Ceridian")
       Common  Stock are valued by reference to the New York Stock Exchange
       Composite Transaction listing.  Investments in T. Rowe Price  mutual
       funds  are valued using daily net asset value calculations performed
       by   the  funds  and  published  by  the  National  Association   of
       Securities  Dealers.  Loans receivable from participants are  valued
       at unamortized principal plus accrued interest.
       
       Participant contributions are paid by the Company to T.  Rowe  Price
       Trust  Company (the "Trustee") on behalf of the participants in  the
       amount  by  which  each participant has elected to  reduce  eligible
       earnings.   Contributions  are  paid  to  the  Trustee  as  soon  as
       administratively   practicable  after  the   date   on   which   the
       participant  would  have otherwise received the  eligible  earnings.
       Any  contributions  or distributions outstanding  at  year  end  are
       shown  as contributions receivable or distributions payable  of  the
       Plan.
       
       Interest and dividend income is recognized when earned.
       
       Purchases  and  sales of securities are recorded  on  a  trade  date
       basis.   Net  realized gains and losses are recognized by  the  Plan
       upon the sale of investments.
       
   (c) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
       
       The   preparation   of  financial  statements  in  conformity   with
       generally  accepted  accounting principles  requires  management  to
       make  estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts  of
       assets  and  liabilities  and disclosure of  contingent  assets  and
       liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and  the
       reported  amounts  of  revenues and expenses  during  the  reporting
       period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
       
 (2)  Description of the Plan
       
       The   following  description  of  the  Plan  provides  only  general
       information.   Participants should refer to the Plan  agreement  for
       more complete information.
       
       The  Plan  is  a defined contribution plan with funding coming  from
       participant  contributions and Company profit sharing contributions.
       All  United  States employees with nine hundred  hours  or  more  of
       service   are  eligible  to  participate  in  the  Plan.    Eligible
       employees  may  elect  to  contribute on  a  pretax  basis,  through
       payroll  deductions, from one to seventeen percent of  their  annual
       compensation.  Participant contributions are subject to an  Internal
       Revenue  Service  maximum annual limit of  $9,240  during  1995  and
       1994.   No  Company  contributions were made  for  the  years  ended
       December 31, 1995 and 1994.
       
       Control  Data  Systems is an independent public company  established
       through  the  transfer  by  Ceridian, formerly  named  Control  Data
       Corporation,  of  Ceridian's  Computer  Products  business  to   the
       Company  and  the subsequent immediate spin-off of the Company  from
       Ceridian  as a stock dividend distribution to Ceridian stockholders.
       Holders of Ceridian Common Stock on July 29, 1992, the record  date,
       received  a  dividend  distribution of one  share  of  Control  Data
       Systems  Common  Stock  for  every four shares  of  Ceridian  common
       stock.   The  spin-off was effective as of the close of business  on
       July,  31, 1992.  The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors  of
       the  Company on July 28, 1992 and Plan assets were transferred  from
       the Ceridian Personal Investment Plan effective August 1, 1992.

       Company's Plan.  Metaphase employees are able to participate in  the
       Plan subject to Plan eligibility requirements.

       Effective  January  1,  1993, the Plan  was  amended  to  allow  the
       payment  of Company profit sharing contributions to participants  of
       the Plan and to no longer make matching employer contributions.   If
       the  Company  achieves  certain financial  goals,  the  Company  may
       contribute  a profit sharing amount which will be contributed  as  a
       percentage  of each participant's eligible compensation  during  the
       year.   The  participants are fully vested  in  the  Company  profit
       sharing  contribution.   The Company met  its  financial  goals  for
       profit   sharing  in  1995.   At  December  31,  1995,  an  employer
       contribution  receivable  for  $1,349,896  represents   the   profit
       sharing  contribution for 1995.  This amount was  subsequently  paid
       on  February  9, 1996, with Control Data Systems Common  Stock.   No
       profit sharing amounts were contributed by the Company in 1994.
       
       Participant   contributions,  including  any  earnings   and   gains
       attributed  to such contributions, are fully vested.  No forfeitures
       will  occur  pursuant to the Plan, as participants  are  immediately
       and  fully  vested in all contributions.  While the  participant  is
       employed by the Company and prior to age 59 1/2, withdrawals may  be
       made   only   for  "financial  hardships"  as  defined  by   federal
       regulations  or  "total disability" as defined by the  Plan.   After
       age  59  1/2,  participants  may  withdraw  part  or  all  of  their
       accounts.
       
       Participants may borrow up to fifty percent of the portion of  their
       accumulated  participant  contributions.  Each  participant  who  is
       employed   by   a  participating  employer  or  another   affiliated
       organization  is  entitled to borrow funds.   The  minimum  loan  is
       $1,000  and  may  not  exceed the lesser of  (i)  $50,000  less  the
       largest  amount of loans outstanding to the participant  during  the
       preceding   12   months;  or  (ii)  fifty  percent  of   accumulated
       participant   contributions.    The  Plan  allows  participants   to
       concurrently have three loans outstanding, only one of which can  be
       a  long term loan (six to ten years).  Long-term loans must be  used
       for  the  purchase  of a primary residence.  The interest  rate  for
       loans  is  specified  by  the  Company's Retirement  Committee  (the
       "Administrator")  and  is  based  on  the  prime  rate.   Loans   to
       participants  were  at interest rates ranging from  5.8  percent  to
       10.0  percent  at December 31, 1995 and 5.8 percent to 10.9  percent
       at  December 31, 1994.  The rate for new loans is subject to  change
       on each January 1 and July 1.
       
       All  expenses  of  administering the Plan as well as  all  brokerage
       commissions are paid by the Company.
       
 (3)  Description of Investment Options
       
       Participant  contributions  are invested  by  the  Plan  Trustee  in
       accordance  with  participant elections, in  one  or  more  of  five
       investment  options the Plan offers.  Participants are  not  offered
       the  option  of investing in Ceridian Stock following  the  spin-off
       from   Ceridian   on   July  31,  1992.   Participants   may   elect
       contributions  to  be  invested, in 10 percent  increments,  to  the
       available  investment options.  A participant may transfer  balances
       from one investment option to another within the Plan.
       
       (a) Control Data Systems Stock Fund - Funds are invested  in  common
           stock of Control Data Systems.
       
       (b) Ceridian Stock  Fund  - Funds are invested in  common  stock  of
           Ceridian.  After the spin-off from Ceridian, participants are no
           longer  offered  the option of making additional investments  in
           the  Ceridian Stock Fund.  On June 30, 1996, remaining  balances
           in  the  Ceridian Stock Fund will automatically transfer to  the
           Equity Income Fund.

       (e) Fixed Income Fund - Funds are invested in the T. Rowe Price  New
           Income  Fund,  a mutual fund which invests in long, intermediate

 (4)  Custodian of Investments

       Under  the terms of the trust agreement dated July 31, 1992, between
       the  Trustee  and Control Data Systems, the Trustee holds,  manages,
       and  invests  contributions,  consistent  with  elections  made   by
       participants  in  the  Company's  Personal  Investment   Plan   (the
       "Plan"),  in  the  investment  options  selected  by  the  Company's
       Retirement Committee to be available for investment under the Plan.
       
       The   Trustee  carries  a  banker's  blanket  bond  in   excess   of
       $50,000,000 insuring against losses.
       
 (5)  Number of Participants

       The  number of participants in each investment option as of December
       31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
       
                                   1995    1994
                                            
         Control Data Systems       444     481
         Ceridian Stock Fund        371     432
         Equity Fund              1,012   1,007
         Money Market Fund          517     575
         Fixed Income Fund          394     427
         Balanced Fund              863     838

       The total number of participants in the Plan was 1,016 and 1,052  at
       December  31,  1995 and 1994, respectively, which is less  than  the
       sum  of  the  number of participants shown above because  many  were
       participating in more than one fund.

 (6)  Withdrawals

       Withdrawals  under  the Plan due to termination or  retirement  were
       $3,333,502 and $6,051,757 for the years ended December 31, 1995  and
       1994,  respectively.   During these same periods,  loan  withdrawals
       under the Plan were $657,700 and $623,300, respectively.

                        December 31, 1995 and 1994

 (7)  Plan Termination

       The  Company, by action of its Board of Directors or other governing
       body, may terminate the Plan.  All participants at the time of  such
       termination shall be 100 percent vested in their accounts and  shall
       be  entitled  to  a  benefit equal to the value  of  their  accounts
       determined as of the valuation date following termination.

 (8)  Party-in-interest Transactions

       Transactions resulting in Plan assets being transferred to  or  used
       by  a  related  party  are prohibited under the Pension  Reform  Act
       unless  a  specific exemption exists.  Plan assets were invested  in
       Company  stock  and T. Rowe Price funds during 1995  and  1994.   T.
       Rowe  Price  Trust  Company and the Company are  parties-in-interest
       with  respect to the Plan.  However, transactions between  the  Plan
       and  T.  Rowe  Price Trust Company and the Company are  exempt  from
       being  considered  as "prohibited transactions" under  the  Employee
       Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 Section 408(b).
       
 (9)  Investments Exceeding 5% of Plan Assets

       The following investments exceed 5% of Plan assets as of December
       31, 1995 and 1994:
       
                                                     1995           1994

       T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund          $  9,568,742   $  5,884,657
       T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund      2,602,877      2,601,391
       T. Rowe Price Summit Cash Reserves Fund     6,009,483              -
       T. Rowe Price Prime Reserve Fund                    -      6,203,303
       T. Rowe Price New Income Fund               4,736,341      3,926,777
       T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund           15,177,855     11,032,695
       
(10)  Income Tax Status

       The Plan has  received  a  favorable  determination  letter  of  tax
       qualification dated September 26, 1995, from  the  Internal  Revenue
       Service.  The Plan  administrator believes  the  Plan  continues  to
       qualify under the  provisions  of Section  401(a)  of  the  Internal
       Revenue Code, and the trust established thereunder is thereby exempt
       from federal income  taxes under Section 501(a)  of  the  Code.   An
       employee's pretax contributions  under  the  Plan  will  reduce  the
       participant's taxable income for federal, and in most  states, state
       income tax purposes.   Additionally, each participant's  portion  of
       earnings  from  the  investments made  with contributions under  the  
       Plan, generally, are not taxable until distributed or withdrawn.
