ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Background.   Control Data Systems, Inc. ("Control Data" or the  "Company")
is  a  global  software  and services company dedicated  to  helping  large
organizations  develop the enterprise-wide communications systems  required
to create, transmit, access, and control business information.  The Company
focuses  on  the  architecture, implementation,  and  lifetime  support  of
electronic  commerce,  product design, and product  information  solutions.
The  Company  provides productivity enhancing solutions  for  customers  in
government, financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

    The  Company's software and services solutions include network  design,
installation,   and   maintenance;  application  design   and   deployment,
particularly  for electronic commerce projects; remote and on-site  systems
management  and  outsourcing;  electronic mail  integration;  and  for  the
discrete  manufacturing industry, product data management ("PDM")  systems,
and  computer-aided  design ("CAD") products or systems.   To  provide  its
customers  with leading-edge solutions the Company invests  in  four  major
areas:

       o  Development  of software products  associated with electronic
          commerce integration, PDM, and CAD.

       o  Training  and  development of  its  technical workforce.

       o  Sales  and  marketing  of  its  products  and services.

       o  Capital and operational expenditures for  the fulfillment of
          managed services contracts (outsourcing contracts).

    The  Company  also has a number of suppliers and partners  providing  a
range  of  hardware  and  software platforms,  complementary  products  and
services, and sales and marketing activities.

    The Company was established through Ceridian Corporation's ("Ceridian")
transfer  of  its Computer Products business to the Company and  Ceridian's
subsequent  distribution  in July of 1992, of  the  Company's  stock  as  a
dividend to Ceridian's stockholders.

    The  Company's  principal offices are located at 4201 Lexington  Avenue
North, Arden Hills, Minnesota  55126-6198.

Industry Background and Business Transition

     The   excitement   over   the  information  superhighway   and   other
manifestations of Internet activity obscure the more significant forces  at
work  below  the  surface  of  the emerging  electronic  marketplace.   The
introduction of inexpensive, easy-to-use browser technology is  helping  to
popularize the medium, but this technology alone is not driving this trend.
Global competitive forces, combined with continued technology breakthroughs
in    hardware,   software,   and   telecommunications,   are   stimulating
entrepreneurial  interest in conducting business  electronically  -  across
both  private and public networks - without the traditional limitations  of
time  and space.  While the individual technologies are important,  equally
crucial  are  the skills to align process and practices through  enterprise
networking and applications integration.

                                     2

<PAGE>

    From its history in the pioneering computer environments of the 1950's,
the Company has applied its network integration skills across heterogeneous
computing  environments.  In the early 1990's, the  Company  completed  its
transition away from the manufacture of proprietary mainframe computers  to
that  of an open systems integration company.  In 1994 the Company recorded
a  restructuring  charge  and goodwill write-off  of  $95.0  million.   The
restructuring charge and goodwill write-off included expenses for  reducing
the  worldwide employee population,  consolidating operations  in  selected
locations,  and revaluing certain intangible assets associated  with  prior
acquisitions.   In  1995,  Control Data took further  steps  to  focus  its
business  for growth in the markets for our enterprise network  integration
software and services with the sale of certain of its international product
fulfillment operations to AmeriData Technologies, Inc. ("AmeriData").   For
additional  information  regarding the divestiture  to  AmeriData  and  the
restructuring  charges,  see notes 3 and 18 of the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  incorporated herein by reference  to  the  Company's
Annual  Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31,  1995
and the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated September 13, 1995,  as
amended November 10, 1995.

Software and Services

    The  dramatic shift to networked computing environments has  created  a
growing demand for technology infrastructures that provide a foundation for
electronic commerce.  In response to that demand, the Company has organized
its  delivery of services around the design, implementation and support  of
three types of technology infrastructures:

o Network  Infrastructures.  The most basic infrastructures  are  transport
  mechanisms  that  enable  institutions  to  connect  desktop  users  with
  sharable  computing resources.  These infrastructures reflect local  area
  networks  comprised of interconnected desktop computers and task-specific
  servers.   However, as organizations expand the scope and  complexity  of
  their  electronic  processes  beyond the confines  of  localized  groups,
  their computing environments grow more complex.

o Messaging  Infrastructures.   At  the next  level,  institutions  require
  infrastructures  capable of delivering information  (most  often  in  the
  form of electronic messages and their related attachments) to anyone  who
  needs   it   regardless  of  where  they  are  located.   In   enterprise
  environments, this often means the infrastructure has to enable users  to
  exchange  messages  across dissimilar electronic  mail  domains.   Beyond
  this, messaging infrastructures need to keep track of who's who within  a
  dispersed  environment, as well as record the business-related attributes
  associated with individual mail users.

                                     3                                   

<PAGE>

o Information  Infrastructures.  As institutions perform more sophisticated
  work  tasks  electronically,  their underlying  infrastructures  will  be
  required  to:  1)  understand  where given information  resources  reside
  within  dispersed  environments,  2) help  authorized  users  access  the
  information   to  which  they  are  entitled,  and  3)  enable   business
  applications to exchange information so these resources can be  leveraged
  as reusable corporate assets.

    The Company provides software solutions and services that support these
infrastructure  needs as companies in increasing numbers begin  to  execute
more of their basic business processes electronically.

Software

    Mail*Hub.   As  its  backbone  messaging product,  the  Company  offers
Mail*Hub,  an  E-Mail integrator that links different mail systems  on  the
same  network  using industry standard X.400 messaging and X.500  directory
protocols.   The  X.500 directory gives customers a database  for  address,
configuration,  and  routing information within their organization  and  to
similar directories worldwide.

    As  a  state  of the art implementation of X.500 directory  technology,
Mail*Hub is the Company's leading network integration software product.  It
is  packaged  with  services that include network analysis,  configuration,
installation,  training,  network  monitoring,  maintenance,  and   hotline
support.

   CAD/CAM/CAE Application Software Products.  The Company offers computer-
aided   design,  manufacturing  and  engineering  ("CAD/CAM/CAE")  software
applications  packages that provide simultaneous engineering, or  automated
merging  of  engineering  analysis,  design,  drafting,  and  manufacturing
functions.   This eliminates separate data entry operations,  reducing  the
chance of errors and shortening the time to produce a product.

    The  Company's  most important CAD/CAM/CAE offering is  its  Integrated
Computer-aided Engineering and Manufacturing ("ICEM") series of CAD/CAM/CAE
software   modules   for  the  manufacturing  industry,  specifically   for
automotive companies and their suppliers, airplane and aerospace  companies
and  their  suppliers,  and machinery companies.   ICEM  software  packages
include  surface  modeling, computational fluid dynamics, surface  milling,
and solid modeling packages.

    On January 1, 1993, the Company purchased 45% of the equity interest in
ICEM  Systems  GmbH ("ICEM Systems") owned by Volkswagen AG  ("VW"),  which
gave  the Company a 95% equity interest in ICEM Systems.  VW retained a  5%
equity interest in ICEM Systems.  On January 2, 1995, the Company purchased
VW's 5% equity interest, making the Company 100% owner of ICEM Systems.

    Product  Data  Management Software Products.   The  growing  volume  of
complex and hard-to-manage information generated by CAD/CAM/CAE systems  in
manufacturing  and engineering organizations has given rise  to  increasing
demand for PDM software.

    The  Company's PDM software product is called Metaphase 2.1.  Metaphase
2.1  is  a  collection  of  software tools and  modules  for  managing  the
creation,  manipulation,  and  transmission  of  information  throughout  a
manufacturing  or  engineering organization to enable  users  to  identify,
locate,   and  manipulate  information  residing  on  personal   computers,
workstations,  servers,  minicomputers,  and  mainframes  in   a   complex,
heterogeneous  system.   As  with  the ICEM  product  line,  Metaphase  2.1
emphasizes reducing the customer's development cycle by enabling  different
types   of  users,  from  designers  to  manufacturing  experts,  to  share
information and data.

                                     4

<PAGE>

    The  development activities for the Company's PDM product are conducted
by  Metaphase  Technology,  Inc.  ("Metaphase"),  an  unconsolidated  joint
venture  formed in August 1992 between the Company and Structural  Dynamics
Research  Corporation ("SDRC"), in which each party holds a  50%  ownership
position.  The Company offers the Metaphase software product in conjunction
with  its  own  professional services personnel to design,  implement,  and
support PDM solutions.

   Additionally, the Company resells software products from a wide range of
third  party standards-based suppliers, including Oracle, Informix, Sybase,
OpenVision, 3Com, Wellfleet, Banyan, Novell, and Wingra.

Services

    The Company has a heritage of managing large programs requiring complex
systems  integration.  Previously such projects  centered  on  use  of  the
Company's  proprietary products. In the networked systems environment,  the
Company  is  increasingly involved in systems integration  activities  that
require  a  diverse  set  of  products  and  services  procured  from  many
suppliers.  Integral  to this business are the many  professional  services
analysts  whose  knowledge and skills are required  to  assist  in  systems
design and implementation.

    The Company's integration services are designed to assist customers  in
the  selection and creation of computer systems tailored to solve business-
specific  information  management and networking problems  or  to  automate
system  activities.   In  creating these customized  systems,  the  Company
incorporates  selected hardware and software products it has  developed  or
obtained from its suppliers.

    The  Company emphasizes the development of customized systems solutions
using  off-the-shelf open systems products.  Focus is  given  on  assisting
customers   with  the  information  management  problems  caused   by   the
proliferation  of  personal  computers, workstations,  servers,  and  other
computers throughout an organization.

     Client/Server  Services.   For  customers  that  are   downsizing   or
reengineering  their computing systems through the application  of  client-
server technology, the Company offers the following specialized services:

o Program  management,  design/development  of  user  interfaces,  database
  design,   solution   connectivity,   system   administration,   and   the
  implementation of application functionality.

o Evaluation and implementation of operating environments required  by  the
  customer's application software.  The Company offers experience  in  both
  enhanced  and  conventional versions of UNIX,  desktop  systems  (MS-DOS,
  Microsoft Windows, and Windows NT), and high performance I/O extensions.

o Evaluation  and  implementation of the most appropriate,  cost  effective
  computer   hardware   and   software  for  a   customer's   client/server
  environment.  The Company offers a range of open systems platforms  based
  on  its  marketing  relationships  with  leading  industry  platform  and
  peripheral suppliers, including Sun Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun"),  Hewlett-
  Packard Company ("Hewlett-Packard"), and Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI").

                                     5

    Networking  Solutions.  As computer users take advantage  of  downsized
computer  platforms,  decentralized  organizational  processes,  and   open
systems   technology,  their  computing  environment's   basic   networking
structure must also be evaluated in terms of its capabilities, performance,
and  cost.   When these changes take place, users often need  to  find  new
solutions  for  interconnecting dissimilar computer systems, finding  cost-
effective  ways to manage complex networks on a daily basis, and  improving
the  productivity  of  their business processes.  The Company's  networking
experts provide solutions in the following areas:

o  E-Mail Integration.  The Company's Mail*Hub product allows disparate  E-
   Mail   systems   from   mainframes,  PC's  and  workstation/servers   to
   communicate in a transparent manner.

o  Directory  Synchronization.  The Company's X.500 technology enables  the
   consolidation  of  e-mail  directories and  other  basic  organizational
   information in a central, updatable corporate repository.

o  Security  Services.  The Company provides network analysis,  penetration
   testing, security system design, and implementation.

o  EDI   Solutions.  Standards  based  electronic  data  interchange  (EDI)
   capabilities,  enabling organizations to expedite their  daily  business
   processes.

o  Network  Integration  Services.   Requirements  analysis,  configuration
   design, installation, performance assessment, and ongoing maintenance.

o  Enterprise  Management  Center.   Remote  management,  monitoring,   and
   troubleshooting  support for computer networks and  systems,  worldwide,

                                     6

<PAGE>

    The  Company's  integration services are carried out primarily  by  its
professional  services  staff, which includes  over  500  systems  analysts
serving  customers  worldwide from regional centers in the  United  States,
Europe,  and Asia. To meet the unique needs or preferences of customers  in
specific geographic markets, the Company selects the most suitable and cost
effective  hardware  platforms currently available from marketing  partners
and  third-party  networking products, industry standard applications,  and
other local products such as microcomputers and terminals.

    Revenues from software and services were $174.1 million in 1995, $154.3
million  in  1994, $140.3 million in 1993, representing 38.3%,  29.4%,  and
31.1%, respectively of the Company's total revenues.

Maintenance and Support

    The Company provides hardware and software maintenance service for both
CYBER  and  open systems products through engineers located throughout  the
United   States   and  in  many  foreign  countries.   A  central   support
organization provides technical planning and support, including a worldwide
logistics  operation  for spare parts, a 24-hour  hotline  and  an  on-line
diagnostic system accessible through CYBER mainframes.

    Maintenance  and  support revenues were $75.4 million  in  1995,  $92.8
million in 1994, and $113.8 million in 1993, representing 16.6%, 17.7%, and
25.2%, respectively of the Company's total revenues.

Hardware Products

    The Company is differentiated from other integrators because it is  not
captive to a particular product set or technology.  This objectivity allows
it  to work in a multivendor environment without bias.  Beginning with  its
relationship  with  SGI in 1989, the Company began integrating  UNIX  based
open  system products into its customer solutions.  Systems based  on  UNIX
and  Intel/Microsoft technologies can support the industry's migration from
centralized  computing, which was dependent on mainframes, to  a  networked
and  distributed client-server environment, in which application processing
and data are spread across many networked computing resources.

    To expand the range of platform options available to its customers,  in
1993  the  Company  signed remarketing agreements  with  Sun  and  Hewlett-
Packard.  As a Sun integrator, the Company remarkets Sun's complete line of
workstations,  servers, and software worldwide as a part of  the  Company's
systems  integration solutions for the commercial marketplace, particularly
in    the   financial   services,   healthcare,   telecommunications,   and
manufacturing  markets.   As  a  Hewlett-Packard  integrator,  the  Company
remarkets  HP  Apollo 9000 Series 700 workstations and HP 9000  Series  800
business  server  hardware  and  software, integrating  the  equipment  and
applications  into  solutions for customers in the  aerospace,  automotive,
manufacturing, government, and commercial markets.

    Revenues  from  the  sale and lease of hardware  products  were  $205.3
million  in  1995,  $277.1  million in 1994, and $197.7  million  in  1993,
representing 45.1%, 52.9%, and 43.8%, respectively, of the Company's  total
revenues.

Sales

Worldwide Business

    The  Company markets its products and services principally through  its
direct  sales  force located in the United States and 12  other  countries.
The Company's major international operations are in France, Germany, Korea,
China, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.  In 1995, the Company sold seven  of
its  international  product  distribution operations  in  Austria,  Canada,
Greece, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom to AmeriData.

    The Company also markets its products and services through subsidiaries
and  distributors located in countries representing smaller  markets.   The
Company  believes  that one of its strengths is its long-standing  presence
and name recognition in various foreign countries.

    Revenues  from  the  Company's non-U.S. operations  were  approximately
69.2%, 71.5%, and 65.2%, of the Company's total revenues in 1995, 1994, and
1993,  respectively.  For further information regarding the Company's  U.S.
and  international  operations, see note 17 of the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  incorporated herein by reference  to  the  Company's
Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

    The  Company's  sales and support operations are organized  into  three
regions  (Americas, Europe, and Asia), each with its own  marketing,  sales
and  sales  support  professionals  providing  consulting  and  engineering
services.   Centralized technology support services  are  provided  to  the
sales  regions  from  the Company headquarters in Arden  Hills,  Minnesota.
These   resources   are   available  to  assist  field   organizations   in
understanding  technology  trends,  formulate  technology  strategies,  and
provide  pre-sales consulting and post-sales implementation expertise.  The
Company  also  provides  essential system  integration  services  including
customer  hot-line support, program/project management, customized training
systems, engineering analysis, and custom software development.

Customers

    The  Company's  products and services are used in  a  wide  variety  of
applications    for   customers   in   government,   financial    services,
telecommunications,  and  manufacturing.  The  Company  believes  that  its
worldwide  sales  and support organization enables it to better  understand
the  markets  in which it competes, to focus its sales efforts effectively,
and to develop long-term relationships with its customers.

    The U.S. Government was the only customer of the Company accounting for
more  than  10% of total revenues in fiscal year 1995, 1994, or 1993.   The
Company  estimates  that  contracts with the  U.S.  government  represented
approximately  13.6%,  12.0%, and 13.7% of total revenue  in  fiscal  years
1995,  1994,  and  1993, respectively.  Generally, the Company's  contracts
with the U.S. Government contain provisions to the effect that they may  be
terminated  at the convenience of the customer, and that in  the  event  of
such termination, the Company would be entitled to receive payment based on
the cost incurred and the anticipated profit on the work completed prior to
termination.

Research and Development

    The  Company's research and development efforts are primarily  oriented
toward  electronic  commerce, CAD/CAM/CAE products, PDM, and  client/server
solutions.   In 1994 the Company formed a new Electronic Commerce  business
unit  dedicated  to  the development of products and  services  related  to
messaging  and information infrastructures.  Its flagship product  in  this
arena is Mail*Hub, a UNIX-based integration toolkit that links disparate E-
mail  systems.  Research and development efforts directed toward  enhancing
the  Company's  ICEM application software product line  occur  through  the
Company's  ICEM Technologies division.  Research and development activities
for  the Company's PDM software product have been transferred to Metaphase.
Company-sponsored research and development expenses related to new products
or  services and the improvement of existing products totaled $9.7 million,
$10.1 million, and $23.8 million, for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

    The decrease in research and development expenses primarily relates  to
the  Company's continuing business transition.  This transition has enabled
the  Company to significantly reduce its research and development  spending
by  acquiring  and integrating products provided by other  vendors  and  by
pursuing customer funding for custom developed solutions.

Competition

   The market for the Company's products and services is highly competitive
and  is characterized by rapid technological advances in both hardware  and
software development.  These advances result in shorter product life cycles
and  enhanced product capabilities, typically at significantly better price
and performance levels.  At the same time, these advances have also created
increased  demand for the skills of knowledgeable systems  integrators  who
can help customers make the best use of the available technology.

   Competition in the systems integration market is intense and is based on
a  variety  of factors including customer satisfaction, reputation,  price,
performance,   product   quality,  software   availability,   connectivity,
networking,   compatibility   with  industry   standards,   marketing   and
distribution capability, customer support, name recognition, and  financial
strength.   The Company competes throughout the world with numerous  local,
regional, national, and international systems integrators.  Several of  the
Company's  competitors have significantly greater financial and operational
resources than the Company.

Backlog

    The backlog of the Company's orders believed to be firm is estimated to
have  been approximately $23 million as of December 31, 1995, most of which
is expected to be reflected in revenues during 1996.  At December 31, 1994,
the  backlog was approximately $76 million.  These backlog amounts  include
the  minimum  noncancelable future lease revenue  expected  from  contracts
existing at those dates, which amounted to $3.0 million for 1995 and  $14.7
million  for 1994.  The decrease in the 1995 backlog from 1994 is primarily
due to the operations sold to AmeriData.

    No  backlog amount is determinable for a large portion of the Company's
revenues, particularly for maintenance and other services, and the  average
time  from  order to installation of hardware products is  shortening.   In
addition,  customers  may  elect to accelerate or  delay  the  delivery  of
products, and delivery of large orders may be spread over a period of  time
and  may  be  subject to modification from time to time. Consequently,  the
Company  believes that backlog information does not necessarily  provide  a
meaningful indication of its future business volume.

Environmental Matters

   In connection with the Company's spin-off from Ceridian, Ceridian agreed
to   retain   responsibility  for  and  indemnify   the   Company   against
environmental liabilities relating to: 1) facilities formerly  operated  by
the  Computer Products business, 2) third-party disposal or treatment sites
as  to  which  Ceridian  has  been or is in  the  future  identified  as  a
potentially  responsible party because of past operations of  the  Computer
Products  business  at its former facilities, and 3)  certain  other  known
environmental  matters related to past operations of the Computer  Products
business.  These facilities and sites constitute all matters which, at  the
present  time,  are  known  to present potential environmental  liabilities
related  to  the operation of the Computer Products business.  The  Company
has  generally  agreed  to indemnify Ceridian against future  environmental
claims  that relate to current and future facilities and operations of  the
Company.

    Compliance  by the Company with federal, state, and local environmental
protection   laws  during  1995  had  no  material  effect   upon   capital
expenditures,  earnings or competitive position, and is  expected  to  have
none in the foreseeable future.

Patents

    The  Company owns or is licensed under a number of patents which relate
to some of its products.  The Company believes that its business as a whole
is  not materially dependent upon any particular patent or license, or  any
particular  group  of patents or licenses.  Instead, the  Company  believes
that its success and growth are more dependent, among other things, on  the
quality of its services and products and its reputation with its customers.

Employees

    As  of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 1,800 full-time
employees.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

     The   Company's  corporate  headquarters  and  U.S.  field  operations
headquarters  are  located in Arden Hills, Minnesota.   Facilities  located
elsewhere   are  primarily  sales  and  service  locations,   and   include
significant  office facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Sunnyvale and  Anaheim,
California;  Rockville, Maryland; Frankfurt, Germany; Copenhagen,  Denmark;
London, England; Paris, France; Delft, Netherlands; and Taipei, Taiwan.

    The  following table summarizes the usage and location of the Company's
facilities as of January 1, 1996.

<TABLE>

                              Facilities

   Total square feet..............    998.6       579.1      1,577.7
</TABLE>

     No   facilities  owned  by  the  Company  are  subject  to  any  major
encumbrances.  The  Company believes that all of the  facilities  currently
utilized  in  its ongoing business operations meet their intended  purposes
and  are  adequately  maintained.  As a result of the Company's  continuing
business  transition,  leased  property decreased  during  fiscal  1995  by
approximately  500,000 square feet, a reduction of 31.5%.   The  number  of
facilities  also decreased from 140 at the end of 1994 to 90  at  year  end
1995,  a  net  decrease  of 50 locations.  This substantial  reduction  was
primarily attributable to the consolidation of locations in the U.S.  field
operations  and the sale of certain international operations to  AmeriData.
Restructuring  charges  recorded in fiscal year ended  December  31,  1994,
included  provisions  of approximately $9.7 million  for  lease  and  other
obligations related to excess facilities.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    There are no legal proceedings pending against or involving the Company
which,  in  the opinion of management, will have a material adverse  effect
upon its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

   In connection with the Company's spin-off from Ceridian, the Company has
agreed  to  assume  responsibility for, and indemnify Ceridian  Corporation
against,  liability  in connection with judicial and administrative  claims
and  proceedings relating to the Computer Products business prior to August
1,  1992.  It is anticipated that final disposition of some of these claims
and  proceedings  may  not  occur for several years.   Although  occasional
adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, management believes that  the
final  disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse  effect
on the Company's financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT

The  accompanying  consolidated financial statements, including  the  notes
thereto,  and  other financial information presented in  this  report  were
prepared  by  management,  which is responsible  for  their  integrity  and
objectivity.   The  financial statements have been prepared  in  accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that  are
based upon our best estimates and judgments.

Control  Data  Systems,  Inc.  maintains an effective  system  of  internal
accounting  control.  We believe this system provides reasonable  assurance
that  transactions are executed in accordance with management authorization
and  are appropriately recorded in order to permit preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles  and
to  adequately  safeguard, verify, and maintain accountability  of  assets.
The  concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition  that  the
cost  of  a  system  of  internal control should not  exceed  the  benefits
derived.

KPMG  Peat  Marwick  LLP,  independent certified  public  accountants,  are
retained  to  audit the Company's financial statements.  Their accompanying
report is based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  The audit includes a review of the internal accounting
control structure to gain a basic understanding of the accounting system in
order  to design an effective and efficient audit approach and not for  the
purpose of providing assurance on the system of internal control.

The  Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors is composed of two  outside
directors  and  is responsible for recommending the independent  accounting
firm  to  be retained for the coming year, subject to stockholder approval.
The  Audit  Committee meets periodically and privately with the independent
accountants,  as  well as with management, to review accounting,  auditing,
internal accounting controls, and financial reporting matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Control Data Systems, Inc.:


We  have  audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets  of  Control
Data  Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash  flows  for each of the years in the three-year period ended  December
31,  1995.   These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of  the  Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred  to  above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Control
Data  Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  and
the  results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in  the  three-year  period  ended December 31,  1995  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (IN MILLIONS)


Overview

Control  Data Systems, Inc. ("Control Data" or the "Company") is  a  global
software  and  services  company dedicated to helping  large  organizations
develop   the  enterprise-wide  information  systems  required  to  create,
transmit, access, and control business information.  The Company focuses on
the  architecture,  implementation,  and  lifetime  support  of  electronic
commerce,  product design, and product information solutions.  The  Company
provides  productivity  enhancing solutions for  customers  in  government,
financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.

The  Company's  software  and services solutions  include  network  design,
installation,   and   maintenance;  application  design   and   deployment,
particularly  for electronic commerce projects; remote and on-site  systems
management  and  outsourcing;  electronic mail  integration;  and  for  the
discrete  manufacturing industry, product data management ("PDM")  systems,
and  computer-aided  design ("CAD") products or systems.   To  provide  its
customers  with leading-edge solutions the Company invests  in  four  major
areas:

       o  Development  of software products  associated
          with electronic commerce integration, PDM, and CAD.

       o  Training  and  development of  its  technical
          workforce.

       o  Sales  and  marketing  of  its  products  and
          services.

       o  Capital and operational expenditures for  the
          fulfillment of managed services contracts (outsourcing contracts).

The  Company also has a number of suppliers and partners providing a  range
of  hardware  and software platforms, complementary products and  services,
and sales and marketing activities.

The  Company  was  established through Ceridian Corporation's  ("Ceridian")
transfer  of  its Computer Products business to the Company and  Ceridian's
subsequent distribution, in July 1992, of the Company's stock as a dividend
to Ceridian's stockholders.

</TABLE>

The  Company  entered into a transaction with AmeriData Technologies,  Inc.
("AmeriData")  during 1995 to divest seven of its international  subsidiary
operations.   The  effect  of this transaction on  the  Company's  reported
results of operations is reflected in the exclusion of the last four months
of  results  for  the five international operations sold  to  AmeriData  on
August 31, 1995 and the exclusion of the last two months of results for the
two  international  operations sold on October 31, 1995  (collectively  the
"AmeriData  Divestitures").   See  note 3  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  for additional information regarding  the  AmeriData
Divestitures.  The pro forma results discussed below reflect the  exclusion
of  the  operating results of the divested operations for the fiscal  years
1995 and 1994.

Revenues  for 1995 of $454.8 million decreased 13.2% from 1994 revenues  of
$524.2  million.   The  revenue decline was due  to  a  25.9%  decrease  in
hardware product sales and an 18.8% decrease in maintenance support, offset
in  part  by  a  12.8%  increase in software and  services  revenues.   The
majority   of  the  decrease  in  hardware  products  sales  and   hardware
maintenance support was attributable to lower revenues in the Americas  and
Asia.   In  addition,  a portion of the revenue decline  for  1995  can  be
attributed  to  the  AmeriData Divestitures.  The maintenance  and  support
revenues  decline is also due to the decrease in the number of  proprietary
systems  under maintenance contracts.  The growth in software and  services
sales  is primarily associated with the Company's focus areas of electronic
commerce and PDM/CAD projects.

On  a pro forma basis, excluding the results of operations of the AmeriData
Divestitures  for the years 1995 and 1994, 1995 revenues of $325.5  million
decreased  3.2%  from 1994 revenues of $336.4 million. The revenue  decline
was  due  to  a  decrease in hardware product sales of 23.6% and  an  11.6%
decline  in maintenance and support, offset in part by a 24.0% increase  in
software  and services revenues. The increase in software and services  and
the  decrease  in hardware product sales reflects the Company's  continuing
emphasis  on software and services sales related to its target  markets  of
electronic commerce and PDM/CAD.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - CON'T (IN MILLIONS)

Revenues  from  European operations represented 50% of the Company's  total
revenues  in  1995;  the  Americas operations  represented  38%,  and  Asia
operations represented 12%.  Increases in software and services revenues in
Asia,  the  Americas,  and Europe of 37.5%, 11.3%, and 8.8%,  respectively,
were offset in part by decreases in hardware product sales of 28.9%, 51.5%,
and  2.7%,  respectively.  The decrease in hardware product  sales  in  the
Americas  was due primarily to lower sales in Canada and Mexico in addition
to  the  AmeriData Divestitures.  On a pro forma basis, European operations
represented  40%  of  the Company's total revenues in  1995;  the  Americas
operations represented 43% and Asia operations represented 17%.

Revenues  of  $524.2 million in 1994 represented a 16% increase  over  1993
revenues  of $451.8 million.  This revenue growth was due primarily  to  an
increase  of 40.2% in hardware products sales attributable to the inclusion
of  revenue  from acquisitions in Canada and the United Kingdom  that  were
completed  in  the  fourth quarter of 1993 and the first quarter  of  1994,
respectively.   Maintenance  and  support  revenues  declined   18.5%   due
primarily   to  the  decrease  in  proprietary  systems  under  maintenance
contracts.   Software and services revenues increased by 10% in  1994  over
1993 as a result of increased software and services integration projects in
Asia and the Americas.

Certain  revenues have been reclassified in selected categories to  conform
with the Company's standard presentation.

<S>                      <C>       <C>       <C>       <C>       <C>
Cost of revenues         $330.4    (13.6%)   $382.5     34.0%    $285.4
Percentage of revenues     72.6%               73.0%               63.2%
Gross profit             $124.4    (12.2%)   $141.7    (14.8%)   $166.4
Percentage of revenues     27.4%               27.0%               36.8%
</TABLE>

Cost of revenues decreased by 13.6% and gross profit decreased by 12.2%  in
1995.   The  primary factor contributing to the cost of revenues and  gross
profit  decreases was the decline in total revenues, primarily in  hardware
product  sales,  offset  in part by an increase in  software  and  services
sales.  Gross profit margins increased slightly to 27.4% in 1995 from 27.0%
in 1994, primarily reflecting the exclusion of lower profit margin hardware
product  sales associated with the AmeriData Divestitures.  On a pro  forma
basis, gross profit margins increased to 32.0% in 1995 from 30.9% in  1994,
primarily  as  the result of increased margins on maintenance  and  support
sales.

The  increase in cost of revenues and the decrease in gross profit  margins
in 1994 from 1993 were primarily due to the increased sales of lower profit
margin  hardware products associated with acquisitions in  Canada  and  the
United  Kingdom,  decreased  sales  of  higher  profit  margin  proprietary
hardware products and maintenance services, and decreased profit margins on
software and services sales.

</TABLE>

Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A).  The decrease in SG&A  expense
is  a  result of downsizing actions taken by the Company over the past  two
years  and  the  exclusion  of  operating  expenses  associated  with   the
operations  sold in the AmeriData Divestitures.  On a pro forma basis,  the
divested  operations  had  lower SG&A expense to  revenue  levels  and  the
exclusion  of  these operations would raise the Company's SG&A  expense  to
revenue percentage.

Technical.   The  decrease  in  technical expense  reflects  the  Company's
reduced  spending levels associated with proprietary hardware and  software
development  and continuation of its transition to a software and  services
company.  The Company received payments from Silicon

                                      10
<PAGE>

Graphics, Inc. of $1.95 million in 1993 to offset costs of certain research
and  development  projects.  The AmeriData Divestitures had  no  effect  on
technical expenses.

Restructuring  charges.   Over  the past several  years,  the  Company  has
focused  its  core  business  through  a  series  of  initiatives   as   it
transitioned from a manufacturer of proprietary mainframe computer  systems
to  a  software and services provider focused on electronic commerce,  PDM,
and CAD.

During  the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company completed a thorough review
of its worldwide business operations and market opportunities.  The results
of this review indicated that certain actions were needed to further reduce
the  geographic scope of operations, downsize employment levels  worldwide,
and  revalue selected assets in order to remain competitive in the  future.
Based  on  this  review,  the Company adopted a formal  restructuring  plan
resulting in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $70.1 million.

Under  the 1994 restructuring plan, the Company planned to reduce its  pre-
restructure  workforce by approximately 600 individuals,  thereby  reducing
annualized  payroll, labor, and benefit costs by approximately $38  million
per year and reduce annual rent expense by approximately $3 million, offset
in  part  by  workforce  additions and other expenditures  associated  with
expansion of its core business.

In  1995,  the  Company entered into an agreement with  AmeriData  to  sell
certain  of  its international operations to AmeriData.  The  restructuring
effect  of the AmeriData Divestitures has been to replace certain  employee
severance  and  lease related cash charges with noncash asset  revaluations
and  write-downs.   As  a  result  of this transaction,  the  reduction  in
workforce  related  to  the  Company's  restructuring  charge  will   total
approximately  475  individuals  versus  the  original  estimate   of   600
individuals.

See  note  18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which  sets
forth the Company's restructuring activities and the reserve balances as of
December 31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and January 1, 1994.

Future  cash  outlays under the restructuring plan are  anticipated  to  be
$16.7 million and $6.4 million in 1996 and 1997, respectively.

Goodwill  write-off.   During  the fourth  quarter  of  1994,  the  Company
concluded  that  the  carrying  values of the  Evernet  Systems,  Inc.  and
Dataselskapet  A/S goodwill balances were fully impaired and the  remaining
unamortized  balances  of  $24.9 million were  charged  to  earnings.   The
primary reasons for these write-offs included significant reductions in the

Interest expense.  Interest expense decreased in 1995 primarily as a result
of  lower  average daily short-term borrowings due in part to the AmeriData
Divestitures.

Interest  income.  Interest income increased in 1995 due to higher  average
daily cash and short-term investment balances.

Other  income.  Other income increased in 1995 primarily due to a  gain  of
$0.8  million  for  the increase in the market value of certain  short-term
marketable  securities  versus a $1.2 million  loss  in  1994,  a  gain  in
affiliates of $0.9 million primarily related to the Company's fifty percent
interest in Metaphase Technology, Inc. versus a $0.4 million loss in  1994,
and a gain of $0.4 million from the sale of land.

The  decrease in other income in 1994 was primarily attributable to a  $1.2
million expense for the reduction in the market value of certain short-term
investments,  a  $0.4 million loss in affiliates primarily related  to  the
Company's  interest in Metaphase Technology, Inc., and the inclusion  of  a
$1.5 million gain on investments in 1993 arising out of the sale of Silicon
Graphics, Inc. common stock versus no similar gain on investments in  1994,
offset in part by a foreign currency transaction gain of $0.4 million.

</TABLE>

Net  earnings (loss).  The net earnings for 1995 were $8.9 million compared
to  a  net loss for 1994 of $94.4 million and net earnings for 1993 of $9.1
million.

The  1995  net  earnings  are  primarily attributable  to  lower  operating
expenses  and  higher  nonoperating income.  Also  contributing  to  higher
earnings  in  1995  is  the exclusion of operating  expenses  and  interest
expenses associated with the operations sold in the AmeriData Divestitures.
The  1994  net  loss  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  $70.1  million
restructuring charge and $24.9 million goodwill write-off recorded  in  the
fourth  quarter of 1994 and lower gross profit margins on hardware products
sales.

The  net  earnings for 1993 were primarily the result of the  reduction  in
operating expenses, mainly technical expense, consistent with the Company's
transition to a software and services company.

Outlook

The following factors, among others, should be considered in evaluating the
Company's outlook.

General.   The Company participates in the systems integration  segment  of
the  information  systems  and services market.   Equipment  manufacturers,
large consulting firms, and traditional systems integrators also compete in
this  market  segment.  There are many smaller firms also  active  in  this
market  segment with no one firm having a dominant position.  Many  of  the
companies in this market segment offer outsourcing and other types of  long
term  agreements with their customer base.  The result of  these  types  of
activities  is  to  develop a backlog of business that  creates  a  certain
predictable  revenue  base  in future periods.   As  the  Company  is  just
beginning  to build a base of these types of arrangements as  part  of  its
electronic   commerce  offerings,  revenue  predictability   is   currently
difficult, and continuing quarterly volatility of earnings can be expected.

Revenues.  The Company expects total revenues to decrease in 1996 from 1995
due in part to the divestitures of certain international operations sold to
AmeriData.  However, 1996 revenues should increase from 1995 revenues on  a
pro  forma  basis.   Continued growth in software and  services  sales  and
increased  outsourcing  revenues  associated  with  its  managed   services
activities  are  expected to provide the basis for  this  growth.   Revenue
levels  in 1996 could be impacted by the Company's business transition  and
narrowed  focus, as well as by the acquisition of additional businesses  or
divestiture of existing operations.

Cost  of  revenues.  The Company's cost of revenues and  gross  margins  as
percentages  of total revenues remained relatively unchanged in  1995  from
1994.   Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues is expected to decline
in  1996  and  gross margins as a percentage of revenues  are  expected  to
increase  in  1996 due in part to the divestitures of certain international
operations,  whose revenue mix primarily consisted of lower  profit  margin
hardware products.  Due to varying gross profit margins of different  types
of  product  sales  and  varying gross profit  margins  of  specific  large
projects  quarter to quarter, total gross profit margins in 1996  could  be
volatile.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses.  SG&A expenses  declined  in
1995  from 1994 due primarily to restructuring actions taken over the  past
two  years and the divestitures of certain international operations.   SG&A
expenses  are expected to decrease in 1996 from 1995.  However,  on  a  pro
forma  basis,  SG&A expenses will likely increase in 1996  as  the  Company
expands its sales activities related to its PDM/CAD and electronic commerce
business.

                                      12
<PAGE>

Technical  expenses.  Technical spending declined in  1995  from  1994  due
primarily to the completion in 1994 of a majority of the technical spending
for  proprietary products.  Some of this decline will be offset  by  higher
spending in 1996 on electronic commerce products and services, one  of  the
Company's targeted markets.

Income  tax  rate.   In  total, the Company has  $106.3  million  of  gross
deferred tax assets at December 31, 1995, which can be used to offset taxes
on  future  earnings.   While the Company maintains significant  operations
outside  the United States, a number of these operations also have deferred
tax  assets as of December 31, 1995 resulting from lower than expected 1994
earnings, caused in part by the worldwide restructuring activity.   In  the
long  term  this  will  significantly reduce  the  Company's  tax  expense.
However, given the wide geographical dispersion of the Company's operations
the   overall   effective  tax  rate  will  be  volatile.   The   AmeriData
Divestitures did not have a material impact on deferred tax assets.

Foreign exchange.  A large percentage of the Company's revenues, costs, and
expenses  are  transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.   As  a
result,  the  Company's financial results are subject to  foreign  exchange
rate fluctuations.

Other.   See  Notes  to Consolidated Financial Statements  regarding  other
factors concerning the Company.

Financial condition

The  Company's  cash and short-term investments totaled  $84.0  million  at
December 31, 1995 representing 36.9% of total assets.  The Company  has  no
long-term debt.  Total cash and short-term investment balances decreased by
$1.4  million  in  1995.   The primary factors in  the  decrease  were  the
purchase of treasury stock of $7.1 million, restructuring payments of $22.8
million,  capital  expenditures of $12.0 million,  partially  offset  by  a
positive  net  cash  flow of $9.0 million from the AmeriData  Divestitures,
$9.2 million from working capital items, net earnings of $8.9 million which
includes depreciation and amortization of $12.0 million, and an increase in
short-term borrowings of $3.2 million.  The AmeriData Divestitures, through
the  elimination of certain hardware distribution activities, significantly
reduced  the Company's investment in inventory and the associated  risk  of
obsolescence associated with that inventory.

Stockholders'  equity increased by $1.2 million in 1995.  The  increase  is
primarily due to net earnings of $8.9 million, the issuance of Common Stock
of  $3.1  million,  and a foreign currency translation adjustment  of  $1.4
million,  offset in part by the purchase of treasury stock of $7.1  million
and a minimum pension liability adjustment of $4.9 million.

As  of December 31, 1995, the Company has available up to $17.8 million  in
credit  facilities,  primarily short-term notes  and  overdraft  facilities
under  bank lines of credit in certain international subsidiaries, as  well
as  a  domestic  credit arrangement which provides up to $10.0  million  in
unsecured short-term credit.

The Company has $23.1 million of restructure obligations as of December 31,
1995,  $16.7  million  of which are expected to be cash  outlays  in  1996,
primarily  for  severance  costs, lease and other  obligations  related  to
excess  facilities,  and  litigation costs.   Restructuring  payments  will
extend  into 1997 to satisfy various long-term real estate obligations  and
severance  issues.   The  Company believes that it can  finance  this  cash
requirement through a combination of existing cash reserves, cash flow from
operations, asset sales, and its borrowing capacity.  To the extent it  may
be  necessary to supplement these sources of cash, the Company  could  seek
financing  from  strategic  investors and through  future  debt  or  equity
financing in the public or private markets.  The ability of the Company  to
borrow  money  or  to  sell debt or equity securities will  depend  on  its
results of operations, financial condition, and business prospects, as well
as  conditions  then prevailing in the computer industry and  the  relevant
capital markets.

Except  for  the  historical information contained within the  Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of  Operations,
the  accompanying  consolidated financial  statements,  and  the  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements, the matters discussed within this annual
report  are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
including:  business  conditions and growth  in  the  general  economy  and
electronic messaging; volatility in gross margins as the Company's revenues
and  product mix change; additional restructuring actions or charges as the
Company  continues to evolve in its rapidly changing industry;  competitive
factors,  such  as  alternative messaging, PDM and CAD products  and  price
pressures;  availability of skilled personnel in various geographic  areas;
acceptance  of the outsourcing of corporate messaging infrastructures;  the
success   of  the  Company's  business  partners  in  sales  and  marketing
activities; and other factors discussed herein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-
owned   subsidiaries   of   the  Company.   All  significant   intercompany
investments, accounts, and transactions have been eliminated.

The  investments  in and the operating results of companies  in  which  the
Company  has  an  ownership of 50% or less are included  in  the  financial
statements on the basis of the equity method of accounting.

On  August  31,  1995, the Company completed the sale of five international
product  distribution  operations  to  AmeriData.   The  Company  sold   to
AmeriData  all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Control  Data
operations  in   Austria, Norway, and United Kingdom (Plc).   Additionally,
the  Company sold to AmeriData certain assets and AmeriData assumed certain
liabilities  of  Control  Data operations in  Canada,  Mexico,  and  United
Kingdom (Ltd).  Effective October 31, 1995, the Company completed the  sale
to AmeriData all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Control
Data operations in Greece and Portugal. Results of operations, assets,  and
liabilities  for  the  operations  sold  are  included  in  the   Company's
consolidated  financial  statements  through  the  effective  date  of  the
divestitures.

In  July  1993,  the  Company  reduced its  equity  ownership  interest  in
Metaphase  Technology,  Inc. ("Metaphase") from  65%  to  50%.   Structural
Dynamics  Research  Corporation ("SDRC"), Metaphase's other  equity  owner,
purchased  the  15%  equity  interest.  The Company  stopped  consolidating
Metaphase, effective July 4, 1993.  Prior periods were not restated due  to
immateriality   of   Metaphase's  operations  to  the  consolidated   group
operations taken as a whole.

On  January  1, 1993, the Company purchased 45% of the equity  interest  in
ICEM  Systems  GmbH ("ICEM Systems") owned by Volkswagen AG  ("VW"),  which
gave  the Company a 95% equity interest in ICEM Systems.  VW retained a  5%
equity interest in ICEM Systems.  On January 2, 1995, the Company purchased
VW's 5% equity interest, making the Company 100% owner of ICEM Systems.

(b) Revenue Recognition

Revenues  from sales of hardware and software products are recognized  upon
shipment, installation, or acceptance, based on the particular product  and
contract  terms.   Revenues  from  rental  and  maintenance  contracts  are
recognized over the period of the agreement.  Services revenues consist  of
consulting  and maintenance services and are recognized when  the  services
are performed.

(c) Cash and Short-term Investments

Highly  liquid  investments with a maturity of three months  or  less  when
purchased  are  classified  in  the  balance  sheet  as  cash  equivalents.
Marketable  equity and debt securities are classified in the balance  sheet
as  short-term investments.  In accordance with the provisions of Statement
of   Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Instruments  in  Debt and Equity Securities", marketable  equity  and  debt
securities  have been categorized as available for sale and are  stated  at
fair  value.  Prior to December 1995, marketable equity and debt securities
were  classified as trading securities.  The aggregate fair  value  of  the
Company's  marketable equity and debt securities at December 31,  1995  and
1994 totaled $41.6 million and $49.2 million, respectively.

(d) Inventories

Inventories  are stated at cost not in excess of realizable values.   Costs
are  based  on actual or average methods.  Inventories include  maintenance
service parts, purchased hardware and software products, and costs incurred
for projects in process.

(e) Property and Equipment

Property  and  equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation on property  and
equipment  is  calculated using straight-line and  accelerated  methods  at
rates  based  on the estimated lives of the assets, which are generally  as
follows:

   Buildings and improvements      10-40 years
   Machinery and equipment           3-8 years
   Leased and data center equipment  3-6 years

Leasehold  improvements  are amortized on a straight-line  basis  over  the
shorter  of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.   Repairs
and  maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Gains or losses on dispositions
are included in results of operations.

                                      18

<PAGE>

(f) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
net  assets  acquired  and is amortized on a straight-line  basis  over  10
years.  Goodwill  balances are reviewed quarterly  to  determine  that  the
unamortized balances are recoverable. In evaluating the recoverability, the
following  factors, among others, are considered: a significant  change  in
the factors used to determine the amortization period, an adverse change in
legal factors or in the business climate, a transition to a new product  or
service  strategy,  a  significant change  in  the  customer  base,  and  a
realization  of  failed  marketing efforts. If the unamortized  balance  is
believed  to be unrecoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment  charge
necessary  to  reduce the unamortized balance to the amount of  cash  flows
expected  to  be generated over the remaining life. If the acquired  entity
has  been  integrated  into  other operations  and  cash  flows  cannot  be
separately measured, the Company recognizes an impairment charge  necessary
to  reduce the unamortized balance to its estimated fair value.  The amount
of impairment is charged to earnings in the current period.

(g) Other Noncurrent Assets

Other noncurrent assets consist principally of prepaid pension costs.

(h) Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities for the Company's international subsidiaries are
translated  into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.  The  resulting
translation  adjustments are recorded in the foreign  currency  translation
adjustment account in equity.  Statement of operations items are translated
at  average exchange rates prevailing during the period.  Foreign  currency
transaction gains or losses are included in net earnings (loss).

(i) Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

(j) Income Taxes

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income  Taxes"
("FAS  No.  109").  Under the asset and liability method of  FAS  No.  109,
deferred  tax  assets and liabilities are recognized  for  the  future  tax
consequences  attributable to differences between the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts  of existing assets and liabilities and their  respective
tax  bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax  rates  which are expected to apply to taxable income in the  years  in
which  those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Under FAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities  of  a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.

Effective January 3, 1993, the Company adopted FAS No. 109.  The effect  of
the  adoption  of  this statement had no material impact on  the  Company's
financial position or results of operations.

Except  for  selective  dividends,  the Company  intends  to  reinvest  the
unremitted  earnings  of  its  non-U.S.  subsidiaries  and  postpone  their
remittance  indefinitely.  Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income  taxes
or foreign withholding taxes was required on such earnings during the three
years ended December 31, 1995.

(k) Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The  net  earnings (loss) per common share and common share equivalents  is
computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number  of
shares  and  dilutive  common  share equivalents  outstanding  during  each
period.   Common stock equivalents result from dilutive stock  options  and
warrants computed using the treasury stock method.

(l) Presentations

Beginning  in the first quarter of 1994, certain cash flow activities  were
reclassified  to conform to the current year's presentation.  Beginning  in
the  fourth  quarter of 1993, certain operating expenses, which  previously
were  treated  as  technical expenses, have been reclassified  to  cost  of
revenues.   Such operating expenses amounted to $6.2 million in 1993.   All
financial  information has been restated to conform  to  these  methods  of
presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONT'D

(m) 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.

(n) Fiscal Year End

In  1995,  the Company changed its fiscal year end to a calendar year  end.
Prior  to  this  change the Company had adopted a 52/53 week  fiscal  year,
which ended on the Saturday closest to December 31.  Fiscal years 1994  and
1993 comprised 52 weeks and ended on December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994,
respectively.

2. ACQUISITIONS

On  January  4,  1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding  capital
stock  of  MICHAEL  Business Systems Plc which  was  engaged  in  providing
microcomputer-based  products  and  network  integration   services.    The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the net assets and  results
of  operations  have been included in the Company's consolidated  financial
statements from the acquisition date through the date of divestiture.   The
total  consideration paid for this acquisition was $3.8  million  in  cash,
plus  a  contingent payment of $1.2 million, payable over two  years.   Net
identifiable  liabilities  acquired of  $4.9  million  consisted  of  $12.3
million  of  assets  acquired  and $17.2 million  of  liabilities  assumed.
Goodwill from this acquisition of $9.9 million was amortized on a straight-
line  basis over a period of ten years.  In the third quarter of 1995, this
operation was sold as part of the AmeriData Divestitures (see note 3)..

During fiscal 1993, the Company acquired three companies which were engaged
in  computer systems and network integration.  These acquisitions have been
accounted  for  as purchases and the net assets and results  of  operations
have  been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from
the  effective date of acquisition through the date of impairment (see note
19) or divestiture (see note 3).

In  June 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Evernet  Systems,  Inc., a privately-held U.S. network systems  integrator.
The  total  consideration paid for this acquisition was $20.6  million,  of
which  $11.5  million was paid in cash, $8.2 million was paid  through  the
issuance of 816,283 shares of common stock, and the issuance of warrants to
purchase  300,000  shares of common stock, valued  at  $0.9  million.   Net
identifiable liabilities acquired of $7.1 million consisted of $6.6 million
of  assets  acquired  (principally consisting of  accounts  receivable  and
inventory)  and $13.7 million of liabilities assumed.  Goodwill  from  this
acquisition of $27.7 million was amortized on a straight-line basis over  a
period of ten years.  In the fourth quarter of 1994, the remaining goodwill
of  $24.0  million relating to this acquisition was written off  (see  note
19).

Also,  in  June 1993, the Company acquired Dataselskapet A/S, a  privately-
held  Norwegian PC integration company.  The total consideration  paid  for
this  acquisition  was $0.1 million in cash.  Net identifiable  liabilities
acquired  of $0.9 million consisted of $2.5 million of assets acquired  and
$3.4  million  of liabilities assumed.  Goodwill from this  acquisition  of
$1.0  million was amortized on a straight-line basis over a period  of  ten
years.   In  the  fourth quarter of 1994, the remaining  goodwill  of  $0.9
million relating to this acquisition was written off (see note 19).

In   October   1993,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets  of   Antares
Electronics,  Inc.,  a privately-held Canadian systems integration  company
providing  specialized  microcomputer-based  solutions  in  the  areas   of
enterprise-wide  networking and integration.  The total consideration  paid
for  this  acquisition was $5.2 million in cash.  Net  identifiable  assets
acquired  of $4.4 million consisted of $6.7 million of assets acquired  and
$2.3  million  of liabilities assumed.  Goodwill from this  acquisition  of
$0.8  million was amortized on a straight-line basis over a period  of  ten
years.   In the third quarter of 1995, this operation was sold as  part  of
the AmeriData Divestitures (see note 3).

3. DIVESTITURES

On  August  31,  1995, the Company completed the sale of five international
product distribution operations to AmeriData. The Company sold to AmeriData
all  of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Control Data operations
in   Austria,  Norway, and United Kingdom (Plc). Additionally, the  Company
sold   to   AmeriData  certain  assets,  and  AmeriData   assumed   certain
liabilities,  of  Control  Data operations in Canada,  Mexico,  and  United
Kingdom  (Ltd). Effective October 31, 1995, the Company completed the  sale
to  AmeriData  of all of the issued and outstanding capital  stock  of  the
Control  Data  operations in Greece and Portugal. The  total  consideration
received for these divestitures was $13.4 million in cash. Net identifiable
assets  and  liabilities transferred to AmeriData were  $56.2  million  and
$46.1 million, respectively. Results of operations, assets, and liabilities
for  the  operations  sold  are  included  in  the  Company's  consolidated
financial statements through the effective date of the divestitures.

The  following  pro forma information represents the results of  operations
assuming  that  the  August  31,  1995 and October  31,  1995  divestitures
described above occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods. The
pro  forma  financial  statements are for informational  purposes  only  to
illustrate  the  estimated  effects of  the  divestitures  of  these  seven
operations on Control Data on a stand-alone basis and may not be indicative
of   the  results  of  operations  that  would  have  occurred  had   these
divestitures  taken place at the beginning of the periods presented  or  of
future results of operations.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Capitalization

Under  the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation the total number
of  shares that the Company has authority to issue is 55,000,000, of  which
5,000,000 are designated as shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01  per
share,  and 50,000,000 are designated as shares of Common Stock, par  value
$0.01 per share.

Stock Options

Under  the  1992  Equity  Incentive Plan  (the  "Plan"),  the  Compensation
Committee may award stock options, restricted stock, and performance  units
("Units") to those officers and employees of the Company whose performance,
in  the  judgment  of  the Compensation Committee, can have  a  significant
effect  on the success of the Company. In addition, provisions of the  Plan
provide for the award of stock options, as specified in such provisions, to
the directors of the Company who are not employees.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company has reserved 2.9 million shares of the
Company's Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards under the Plan. This
includes  shares of replacement options provided to optionees  pursuant  to
the  provisions of the spin-off of the Company from Ceridian to replace and
preserve the value of Ceridian stock options held by such optionees at  the
time  of  the  spin-off. If an award under the Plan expires  or  terminates
without being exercised in full or is forfeited, the shares subject thereto
are generally available for new awards.

The exercise price for stock options granted under the Plan (other than the
replacement options) may not be less than the fair market value of a  share
of  the underlying Common Stock on the date the option is granted and  must
be paid in cash unless the Compensation Committee permits payment in shares
of the Company's stock. An option will generally expire ten years after the
date  it is granted and will ordinarily become exercisable as to one  third
of  the  shares  subject  to the option on each  of  the  three  succeeding
anniversaries  of  the  grant. The Compensation Committee  may  modify  the
exercisability of an option at its discretion.

The  Plan  also  provides for shares of the Company's Common  Stock  to  be
issued  to  employees  in  the  form  of  restricted  stock  grants.   Plan
participants  are  entitled to cash dividends and to vote their  respective
shares  from  the date of grant. The value of such stock is established  by
the  market  price  on  the date of the grant. In 1995,  50,000  shares  of
restricted  stock were issued under the Plan. Prior to 1995  no  restricted
stock  had  been granted. Unearned compensation is charged for  the  market
value  of  the  restricted shares as these shares are issued in  accordance
with  the  Plan.  The unearned compensation is amortized ratably  over  the
restricted period. The unamortized unearned compensation value is shown  as
a  reduction  of  stockholders'  equity in  the  accompanying  consolidated
balance sheets.

Following a "change of control termination," all options granted under  the
Plan   will  become  immediately  exercisable,  and  all  restrictions   on
restricted stock awarded under the Plan will immediately lapse.

The  Plan also provides recipients with the opportunity to receive cash  or
stock  awards if the Company's financial goals or other business objectives
are  achieved  over  a longer-term performance period. The  cost  of  these
awards is charged to expense. The Compensation Committee will determine the
performance  goals, the performance period, the vesting of Units,  and  how
Units will be valued. No Units had been issued as of December 31, 1995.

Stock Warrants

In  connection with the acquisition of Evernet Systems, Inc.,  the  Company
issued  warrants  granting the holders the right  and  option  to  purchase
300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.86
per  share. The warrants are exercisable during the period between June  4,
1994  and  June 4, 1996. No warrants had been exercised as of December  31,
1995.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under  the  1993  Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the  "Purchase  Plan")  the
Company  has reserved 400,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance  pursuant
to  the  Purchase  Plan. The primary purpose of the  Purchase  Plan  is  to
provide an opportunity for eligible employees to become stockholders of the
Company.  Eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their compensation
toward  the  purchase  of  the Company's Common Stock.  The  Purchase  Plan
operates in phases of three months each, generally beginning on January  1,
April  1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. At the end of each phase,  an
employee who elects to participate in the Purchase Plan can purchase up  to
500  shares of Common Stock with his or her accumulated payroll deductions.
The  purchase price for those shares of Common Stock will be either 85%  of
the  market price at the beginning of the phase or 85% of the market  price
at the end of the phase, whichever is less. As of December 31, 1995, shares
purchased under the Purchase Plan totaled 169,994.

9. INCOME TAXES

As  discussed in note 1(j), the Company adopted FAS No. 109, as of  January
3,  1993.   This  change in accounting for income taxes had no  significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The components of earnings (loss) before income taxes and the provision for
income taxes (benefit) are included in the following table:

Although the Company has available gross deferred tax assets in the  amount
of $106.3 million which can be used to offset taxes on future earnings, the
Company currently maintains sizable operations in several foreign countries
whose tax on future earnings cannot be offset by these deferred tax assets.

Included in the gross deferred tax assets and the valuation reserve is $6.0
million  for U.S. net operating losses subject to limitation under  Section
382  of  the  Internal Revenue Code.  Additionally, the  remainder  of  the
Company's  U.S.  deferred tax assets may become subject  to  limitation  or
permanent  loss  if certain changes in ownership, as defined  by  U.S.  tax
rules, occur in the future.

</TABLE>

Earnings  of  foreign  subsidiaries considered  to  be  reinvested  for  an
indefinite  period at December 31, 1995 total approximately $26.2  million.
If  those  earnings  were  remitted, estimated withholding  taxes  of  $3.6
million would be currently payable.

It  is impracticable to compute the deferred tax asset or liability on  the
Company's investments in its foreign subsidiaries.

10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
   
Largely  as a result of divestitures and other downsizing actions  and  the
formation of certain cooperative ventures in recent years, the Company  has
agreed  to incur or retain a variety of contingent liabilities.  Generally,
these   liabilities  include  requirements  for  performance   of   various
obligations  assumed  in  some manner by the  acquirer,  such  as  customer
contracts  and leases of facilities and equipment; commitments to  purchase
products or services; commitments to invest or advance funds; and potential
liabilities  relating  to downsizing actions per  se,  such  as  litigation
arising   from   workforce  reductions,  purchase  price  adjustments,   or
representation and warranty obligations.
   
The  Company  monitors  such  contingent liabilities  and  has  established
reserves  for those which it believes are probable of payment.   Management
believes that in the aggregate the contingent liabilities will not  have  a
materially adverse impact on the financial position of the Company.

11.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Silicon Graphics, Inc.

In  August 1992, Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") purchased 1,185,224  shares
of  the Company's Common Stock from the Company for an aggregate amount  of
$14.4  million.   On  February 14, 1995, the Company repurchased  1,185,224
shares of its Common Stock from SGI for an aggregate purchase price of $7.1
million.

In   September  1992,  SGI  and  the  Company  entered  into  a  technology
development agreement.  The Company recognized revenue under this agreement
of  none  in  1995 and 1994, and $1.65 million in 1993.  In  addition,  the
Company  received  $1.95 million in 1993 from SGI to offset  the  costs  of
certain  research and development projects.  The Company purchased a  total
of  $33.0 million of SGI products in 1995, $39.7 million in 1994, and $29.3
million in 1993.

Ceridian Corporation

The Company has contracted with Computing Devices International ("CDI"),  a
subsidiary of Ceridian, to manufacture certain proprietary products for the
Company.   The Company purchased a total of approximately $2.3  million  of
CDI products in 1995, $6.5 million in 1994, and $36.6 million in 1993.

12.  LEASES

As Lessor:  The Company leases equipment to others through operating leases
with  lease terms of one to five years.  The Company pays taxes,  licenses,
and insurance associated with the equipment under lease.  The Company's net
investment  in equipment needed to support leasing operations, included  in
lease and data center equipment, was as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONT'D

The  minimum future rentals on noncancelable leases with lease terms of one
to  five  years existing as of December 31, 1995 are $1.5 million in  1996,
$0.4  million in 1997, $0.4 million in 1998, $0.4 million in 1999, and $0.4
million in 2000.

As  Lessee:   The  Company  leases certain  property  and  equipment  under
operating  leases.  Most of these operating leases contain renewal  options
and  require  payments for taxes, insurance, and maintenance.  Although  in
most  cases  management expects that leases will be renewed or replaced  by
other  leases  in the normal course of business, downsizing  activities  in
recent  years  have diminished the need for such renewals and  replacements
and increased subletting of leased facilities.

The  rental  payments  under  these leases are  charged  to  operations  as
incurred.   The amounts of rental expense and sublease income for  each  of
the  years in the three year period ended December 31, 1995 appear  in  the
following table.

14.  RETIREMENT BENEFITS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

Prior  to  January  1, 1992, substantially all the U.S.  employees  of  the
Company  were  eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan,  a  defined-
benefit, salary-reduction plan available to most Ceridian and Company  U.S.
employees.

Effective January 1, 1992, Ceridian established a separate pension plan for
the  Company's U.S. employees (the "Retirement Plan").  Effective  December
20, 1992, the Company froze the benefits under the Retirement Plan, meaning
such benefits are computed only on the basis of compensation and service up
to that date.

Certain  major international subsidiaries of the Company also offer defined
benefit  pension plans to their employees.  Benefits under these plans  are
calculated on maximum or career-average earnings and years of participation
in  the  plans.  Funding amounts are based on determinations by independent
consulting  actuaries  of  requirements of the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act  of 1974 (ERISA) in the U.S. and local statutory requirements
in other countries.

The  net  periodic pension costs (credit) and related assumptions  for  all
defined  benefit  plans  appear  in  an  accompanying  table,  as  does   a

In addition, 1995 pension expense was reduced by a curtailment gain of $0.3
million related to a non-U.S. plan.  Retirement expense for all other plans
amounted to $0.3 million in 1995, $0.5 million in 1994, and $0.6 million in
1993.

Major Customers

The  Company's  customers  are located throughout  the  world.   No  single
customer  accounted for more than 10% of the Company's  revenues  in  1995,
1994,  or  1993,  except for revenue from sales to various U.S.  government
agencies which amounted to approximately 13.6% in 1995, 12.0% in 1994,  and
13.7% in 1993.

18.  RESTRUCTURING RESERVES, CURRENT AND NONCURRENT

Over  the  past  several years, the Company has been transitioning  from  a
developer and manufacturer of proprietary mainframe computer systems  to  a
software and services provider focused on electronic commerce, product data
management, and computer-aided design solutions.

During  the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company completed a thorough review
of its worldwide business operations and market opportunities.  The Company
concluded  it  was  necessary to further reduce  the  geographic  scope  of
operations,  downsize  employment levels worldwide,  and  revalue  selected
assets.   As  a  result,  the Company adopted a formal  restructuring  plan
resulting in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $70.1 million.

Under  the 1994 restructuring plan, the Company took a $34.0 million charge
to  reduce  the worldwide workforce.  During 1995, severance cost  activity
included  cash  payments of $11.5 million related to the reduction  of  the
worldwide workforce by approximately 230 individuals and a reclassification
of $7.6 million of severance accrual which was no longer required primarily
as a direct result of the divestiture activities discussed in note 3.  This
accrual was reclassified to other restructuring accruals to offset the cash
and  noncash  activity associated with the AmeriData  Divestitures.   As  a
result  of  these divestitures, the reduction in workforce related  to  the
Company's  restructuring  charge will total approximately  475  individuals
versus  the  original estimate of 600 individuals.  Cash outlays  for  1995
were below Company expectations due in part to lower than planned severance
activity  in  its  international operations because of  delays  in  legally
required procedures for such activities.

Asset  revaluations and write-offs accounted for $14.3 million of the  1994
restructuring  charge.  This charge reduced certain  assets  to  their  net
realizable  value  and  was a direct result of the Company  refocusing  its
business strategy including discontinuance of marketing efforts related  to
proprietary  systems.  During 1995, activity included  the  write  down  of
assets directly related to the AmeriData Divestitures discussed in note 3.

Lease and other facility obligations accounted for $9.7 million of the 1994
restructuring  charge.   This charge was comprised  of  lease  buyouts  for
facilities and other commitments under leases resulting from the  Company's
plan  to  reduce  its  geographic dispersion  by  consolidating  sales  and
services  offices  into more central operations.  During  1995,  lease  and
other  facility obligations activity included cash payments of $8.5 million
related  to commitments under leases throughout the United States,  Canada,
and  Europe  and  a  reclassification of a $2.5  million  lease  and  other
facility  obligations accrual which was no longer required primarily  as  a
direct  result  of  the divestiture activity discussed  in  note  3.   This
accrual  was classified to other restructuring accruals to offset the  cash
and  noncash  activity  associated with the  AmeriData  Divestitures.   The
remaining  lease  obligations of $3.1 million  relate  primarily  to  lease
commitments in the United States and Europe.

Other  charges accounted for $6.5 million of the 1994 restructuring  charge
and  consisted of $3.5 million for pension accruals resulting from lump sum
payments, $1.1 million for litigation matters, and several less significant
items.   During 1995, other activity included cash payments of $2.8 million
for  litigation  and  other  less significant items  and  noncash  activity
primarily  associated with the AmeriData Divestitures including the  write-
off  of  goodwill of $9.3 million and net book value of operations sold  of
$10.1  million.   The  remaining accrual primarily  relates  to  litigation
matters and several smaller items.

Future  cash  outlays  for  the remaining restructuring  reserve  of  $23.1
million  at December 31, 1995 are anticipated to be $16.7 million and  $6.4
million in 1996 and 1997, respectively.

</TABLE>

In  the  third  quarter of 1995, unamortized goodwill of $9.3  million  was
charged  against  the  restructuring  reserve.   The  unamortized  goodwill
balance  was primarily related to MICHAEL Business Systems Plc and  Antares
Electronics, Inc. which were part of the AmeriData Divestitures  (see  note
3).

During  the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company concluded that the carrying
values of the Evernet Systems, Inc. and Dataselskapet A/S goodwill balances
were fully impaired and the remaining unamortized balances of $24.9 million
were charged to earnings. The primary reasons for these write-offs included
significant  reduction in the employee and customer bases and a  refocusing
of  the Company's overall business strategy.  At the time the write-off was
taken   there  were  no  other  noncurrent  assets  remaining  from   these
acquisitions.
