          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          _______________________________

               Landauer's cash flow from operating activities for the nine
          months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 amounted to $8,356,000 and
          $8,191,000, respectively.  Investing activities for the first
          nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996 resulted in market changes in
          U.S. Treasury securities.  Acquisitions of property, plant and
          equipment amounted to $1,139,000 and $1,074,000, respectively. 
          The Company's financing activities were limited to payments of
          cash dividends, offset by foreign dividends received from Nagase-
          Landauer, Ltd., our Japanese joint venture.

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


               The Company has no long-term liabilities and its requirement
          for cash flow to support investing activities is generally
          limited.  Capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal 1997 are
          expected to amount to $1,000,000, principally for computer
          hardware, the development of software systems, and acquisition of
          equipment to support growth, technology enhancements and cost
          reductions.  The Company anticipates that funds for these capital
          improvements will be provided from operations.

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

               Landauer requires limited working capital for its operations
          since many of its customers pay for services in advance.  Such
          advance payments amounted to $8,385,000 and $8,375,000,
          respectively, as of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, and are
          included in deferred contract revenue.  While these amounts
          approximate one-half of current liabilities, such amounts do not
          represent a cash requirement.

          Results of Operations
          _____________________

               Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were 11% higher
          compared with the same quarter a year ago.  The increase in
          revenues was attributable to unit gains and higher pricing in the
          Company's traditional radiation dosimetry business and higher
          radon protection plan sales.  Gross margins for the third fiscal
          quarter were 68.5% of the revenues compared to 69.6% for the same
          period in fiscal 1996.  The decrease in margins was primarily
          attributable to higher costs associated with increased radon
          protection plan activity.

               Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher in
          the current quarter as a percent of revenues at 27.9% compared to
          27.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  As a result,
          operating income for the third fiscal quarter of 1997 was 40.7%
          of revenues compared to 42.4% for the same period last year. 
          Income before income taxes was 44.5% of revenues for the quarter
          just ended compared to 46.5% for the third fiscal quarter of
          1996.

               The effective tax rate for the Company during the third
          quarter of fiscal 1997 was lower at 35.6% compared with 37.8% for
          the same period last year.  Resulting net income of $2,860,000
          for the third fiscal quarter of 1997 was 10% higher than
          $2,609,000 reported in fiscal 1996.  Income per share for the
          quarter was $.34 versus $.31 for the third fiscal quarter of
          1996.

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

               Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, were
          almost 9% higher compared with the first nine months of fiscal
          1996.  The increase in revenues was attributable to unit gains
          and higher pricing in the Company's traditional radiation
          dosimetry business, as well as higher radon protection plan
          sales.  Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1997
          were lower at 69.4% of revenues compared with 70.0% a year ago. 
          The decrease in gross margins was principally attributable to
          higher costs associated with the increased radon protection plan
          activity.

               Selling, general, and administrative expenses were lower for
          the first nine months of fiscal 1997 as a percent of revenues at
          26.8% compared to 27.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996. 
          The decrease reflected a modest growth rate in expenses relative
          to the level of business activity.  As a result, operating income
          for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was 42.7% of revenues
          compared to 42.8% for the same period last year.  Income before
          income taxes was 46.5% of revenues for the nine months just
          ended, compared with 47.1% for the same period in fiscal 1996.

               The effective tax rate for the Company during the first nine
          months of fiscal 1997 was 36.0% compared with 37.5% for the first
          nine months of 1996.  Resulting net income of $8,808,000 for the
          first nine months of 1997 was 10% higher than $8,017,000 reported
          in fiscal 1996.  Income per share thus far in fiscal 1997 was
          $1.04 versus $.95 for the same period in fiscal 1996.
