ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
- -----------------

     Unisys Corporation ("Unisys") is a worldwide information
management company.  Through its three business units,
Information Services Group ("ISG"), Computer Systems Group ("CSG"),
and Global Customer Services ("GCS"), Unisys provides systems
and solutions designed to enhance the productivity, competitiveness
and responsiveness of its clients.

     Unisys operates in the information management business
segment.  Financial information concerning revenue, operating
profit and identifiable assets relevant to the segment is set
forth in Note 14, "Business segment information," of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the Unisys 1996
Annual Report to Stockholders, and such information is incorporated
herein by reference.

     Principal executive offices of Unisys are located at
Township Line and Union Meeting Roads, Blue Bell, Pennsylvania
19424.

Principal Products and Services
- -------------------------------

     ISG designs, integrates, and installs information
solutions to help clients in selected market sectors improve
customer service, increase productivity, and achieve other
strategic goals.  Its major service lines are consulting, systems
integration, outsourcing, industry-specific software solutions,
document imaging, year 2000 services, decision support services
and Microsoft Windows NT application services.

     CSG provides computer hardware and software products and
systems designed to be the foundation of advanced information
solutions developed by clients, systems integrators, software
developers, resellers and other sales partners.  Its major product
lines are enterprise-class servers, network servers, desktop and
mobile systems, system software and middleware, development tools,
data and voice communications and information storage solutions.

     GCS provides services and products to help clients manage,
maintain and support their distributed network, desktop, and mobile
computing assets.  Its major service/product lines are traditional

                              -4-

hardware/software maintenance and distributed computing support
services, including Network Enable network integration, life-cycle
desktop support services, technology consulting, multivendor
hardware/software maintenance, and Unisys Direct computer supplies.

     Information about revenue by business groups for the two years
ended December 31, 1996, appears under the heading "Customer revenue
by business unit" appearing in the Unisys 1996 Annual Report to
Stockholders, and such information is incorporated herein by
reference.

     Unisys markets its products and services throughout most of
the world, primarily through direct sales forces.  In certain
foreign countries, Unisys markets primarily through distributors.
Unisys manufactures a significant portion of its product lines.
Some products, including certain personal computers, peripheral
products, electronic components and subassemblies and software
products, are manufactured for Unisys to its design or
specifications by other business equipment manufacturers,
component manufacturers or software suppliers.

Raw Materials
- -------------

     Raw materials essential to the conduct of the business are
generally readily available at competitive prices in reasonable
proximity to those plants utilizing such materials.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
- --------------------------------

     Unisys owns many domestic and foreign patents relating to
the design and manufacture of its products, has granted licenses
under certain of its patents to others and is licensed under the
patents of others.  Unisys does not believe that its business is
materially dependent upon any single patent or license or
related group thereof.  Trademarks used on or in connection with
Unisys products are considered to be valuable assets of Unisys.

Backlog
- -------

     Unisys does not accumulate backlog information on a
company-wide basis.  Unisys believes that backlog is not a
meaningful indicator of future revenues due to the significant
portion of Unisys revenue received from software, information
services and systems integration, and support servicing
(approximately 71% in 1996) and the shortening of the time
period from receipt of a purchase order to billing upon shipment
of equipment.  Unisys "lead time" for commercial equipment (the

                              -5-

time that customers are told that it will take from receipt of
an order to shipment) is between 13 and 150 days depending upon
the type of system and location of customer.  However, the
average is between 35 and 45 days.  Therefore, Unisys believes
that the dollar amount of backlog is not material to an
understanding of its business taken as a whole.

Customers
- ---------

     No single customer accounts for more than 10% of Unisys
revenue.  Sales of commercial products to various agencies of the
U.S. government represented 9% of total consolidated revenue in
1996.

Competition
- -----------

     Unisys business is affected by rapid change in technology
in the information systems and services field and aggressive
competition from many domestic and foreign companies, including
computer hardware manufacturers, software providers and
information services companies.  Unisys competes primarily on
the basis of product performance, service, technological
innovation and price.  Unisys believes that its continued
investment in engineering and research and development, coupled
with its marketing capabilities, will have a favorable impact on
its competitive position.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

     Unisys-sponsored research and development costs were $342.9
million in 1996, $404.5 million in 1995 and $458.5 million in
1994.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

     Capital expenditures, earnings and the competitive position
of Unisys have not been materially affected by compliance with
federal, state and local laws regulating the protection of the
environment.  Capital expenditures for environmental control
facilities are not expected to be material in 1997 and 1998.

Employees
- ---------

     As of December 31, 1996, Unisys had approximately 32,900
employees.


                              -6-

International and Domestic Operations
- -------------------------------------

     Financial information by geographic area is set forth in
Note 14, "Business segment information," of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the Unisys 1996
Annual Report to Stockholders, and such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
- -------------------

     As of December 31, 1996, Unisys had 40 major facilities in
the United States with an aggregate floor space of approximately
7.9 million square feet, located primarily in California, Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Utah and Virginia.  Eight of
these facilities, with an aggregate of approximately 1.9 million
square feet of floor space, were owned by Unisys while 32 of these
facilities, with approximately 6 million square feet of floor
space, were leased to Unisys.  Of the aggregate floor space of
major facilities in the United States, approximately 5.9 million
square feet were in current operation, approximately 1.4 million
square feet were subleased to others and approximately .6 million
square feet were being held in reserve or were declared surplus
with disposition efforts in progress.

     As of December 31, 1996, Unisys had 36 major facilities
outside the United States with an aggregate floor space of
approximately 3.8 million square feet, located primarily in Belgium,
Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, South Africa, Switzerland and the
United Kingdom.  Seven of these facilities, with approximately
1.0 million square feet of floor space, were owned by Unisys while
29 of these facilities, with approximately 2.8 million square feet
of floor space, were leased to Unisys.  Of the aggregate floor
space of major facilities outside the United States, approximately
2.9 million square feet were in current operation, approximately
 .4 million square feet were subleased to others and approximately
 .5 million square feet were being held in reserve or were declared
surplus with disposition efforts in progress.


                              -7-

     Unisys major facilities include offices, laboratories,
manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution and sales
centers.  Unisys believes that its facilities are suitable and
adequate for current and presently projected needs.  Unisys
continuously reviews its anticipated requirements for
facilities, and, on the basis thereof, will from time to time
acquire additional facilities, expand existing facilities and
dispose of existing facilities or parts thereof.

EVC and/or Performance Unit Compensation to be deferred under the
Plan.  In addition, the Deferral Election must specify the date on
which payment of the Eligible Executive's Account Balance is to
commence and the manner in which such payment is to be made.

         (1)   The Eligible Executive must specify the date as
of which payment of his or her Account Balance is to commence and may
specify that such payment is to commence as of:

            (A)   his or her termination of active employment
(including as a result of retirement or disability) with the
Corporation; or

            (B)   a specific date (which may be determined by
reference to the Eligible Executive's retirement or other termination
of employment) that is at least five years after the date on which the
amounts to be deferred, absent deferral, would be paid to the Eligible
Executive.

         (2)   The Eligible Executive must specify the manner in
which payment of his or her Account Balance is to be made and may
specify that such payment is to be made either in a single sum or in
annual installments.

         (3)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible
Executive may not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form
of payment to the extent that such an election would cause any
payments to be made after the March 31 first following the date that
is 20 years after the date of the Eligible Executive's retirement or
other termination of employment.

      (f)   Deferrals of an Eligible Executive's salary shall be
credited to the Plan ratably throughout the year (or, where
applicable, the portion of the year) to which the Deferral Election
applies.  Deferrals of an Eligible Executive's EVC and Performance
Unit Compensation shall be credited at the time at which the EVC or
Performance Unit Compensation, absent deferral, would be payable to
the Participant.

      (g)   Unless the Deferral Election form specifically
provides otherwise, a Deferral Election with respect to salary shall
expire as of the last day of the calendar year that includes the first
day on which any amount, absent deferral, would be paid to the
Eligible Executive and a Deferral Election with respect to EVC or
Performance Unit Compensation shall expire as of the date on which the
EVC or Performance Unit Compensation that is the subject of the
Deferral Election is credited under the Plan.

      3.2   Payment of FICA and Other Taxes.  To the extent that,
as a result of a Deferral Election, the compensation currently payable
to an Eligible Executive during any period is insufficient to permit
an amount equal to the FICA and other taxes that are payable by the
Eligible Executive, and required to be withheld by the Corporation,
during that period to be withheld from such current compensation, the
Eligible Executive shall be notified by the Corporation and shall
provide the Corporation with a check in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount of FICA and other taxes payable by the
Eligible Executive during the period and the amount of compensation
otherwise currently payable to the Eligible Executive during the
period.  If the Eligible Executive does not provide such check within
the time period specified by the Corporation, the Eligible Executive's
Account Balance shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (a)
the difference between the amount of FICA and other taxes payable by
the Eligible Executive, and required to be withheld by the
Corporation, during the period and the amount of compensation
otherwise currently payable to the Eligible Executive during the
period and (b) any additional Federal, state and local income taxes
payable by the Eligible Executive with respect to the reduction in his
or her Account Balance made pursuant to this Section 3.2.

                     -----------------------------

      4.1   Memorandum Account.  The Corporation shall establish
on its books an Account for each Participant.  Amounts deferred by a
Participant pursuant to a Deferral Election shall be credited to the
Participant's Account on the date on which the deferred amounts,
absent deferral, would have been paid to the Participant.  In
addition, as of each Valuation Date, incremental amounts determined in
accordance with Section 4.2 will be credited or debited to each
Participant's Account.  Any payments made to or on behalf of the
Participant and for his or her Beneficiary shall be debited from the
Account.  No assets shall be segregated or earmarked in respect to any
Account and no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any right to
assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate his or her interest or any
portion thereof in his or her Account.  The Plan and the crediting of
Accounts hereunder shall not constitute a trust or a funded
arrangement of any sort and shall be merely for the purpose of
recording an unsecured contractual obligation of the Corporation.

      4.2   Investment Measurement Options.
      (a)   Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.2, a
Participant's Account shall be credited or debited with amounts equal
to the amounts that would be earned or lost with respect to the
Participant's Account Balance if amounts equal to that Account Balance
were actually invested in the Investment Measurement Options in the
manner specified by the Participant.

      (b)   Each Eligible Executive may elect, at the same time as
a Deferral Election is made, to have one or more of the Investment
Measurement Options applied to current deferrals.  Such election with
respect to current deferrals may be changed as of the first day of any
month, provided that written notice of such election is filed prior to
the first day of that month with the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department.

      (c)   Subject to the restrictions described in Subsection
(d), a Participant may elect to change the manner in which Investment
Measurement Options apply to existing Account Balances.  Such an
election will be effective as of the first day of the month following
the date on which a written election is filed with the Corporate
Executive Compensation Department.

      (d)   The following rules apply to Investment Measurement
Options.

         (1)   The percentage of a Participant's current
deferrals and/or Account Balance to which a specified Investment
Measurement Option is to be applied must be a multiple of five
percent.
         (2)   To the extent that a Participant has not
specified an Investment Measurement Option to apply to all or a
portion of his or her current deferrals and/or Account Balance, the
Insurance Contract Fund shall be deemed to be the applicable
Investment Measurement Option.

         (3)   The chosen Investment Measurement Option or
Options shall apply to deferred amounts on and after the date on which
such amounts, absent deferral, would have been paid to the
Participant.

      (e)   The Committee shall have the authority to modify the
rules and restrictions relating to Investment Measurement Options
(including the authority to change such Investment Measurement Options
prospectively) as it, in its discretion, deems necessary and in accord
with the investment practices in place under the USP.

      5.1   Form and Time of Payment.  The benefits to which a
Participant or a Beneficiary may be entitled under the Plan shall be
paid in accordance with this Section 5.1.

      (a)   All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash.

      (b)   Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
payment of a Participant's Account Balance shall commence as of the
Valuation Date next following the date or dates specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Participant's Revised Election or Elections; provided, however, that
where the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where
applicable) the Participant's Revised Election or Elections specify
that payments with respect to a Participant's Account Balance are to
commence as of a specified date or specified dates not determined by
reference to the Participant's retirement or other termination of
employment and the Participant terminates employment with the
Corporation prior to such date or dates, payment of the portion of the
Participant's Account Balance that was deferred to such date or dates
shall commence as of the Valuation Date next following the
Participant's termination of employment.

      (c)   All payments shall be made in the form or forms,
specified in the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or
(where applicable) the Participant's Revised Election or Elections.

      (d)   To the extent a Participant has not specified the form
or time of payment of his or her Account Balance, payment will be made
in a single sum as soon as administratively practicable, but within 90
days, after the first Valuation Date following the Participant's
termination of employment with the Corporation.

      (e)   Where a Participant has elected payment in the form of
annual installments, each installment payment after the initial
installment payment shall be made on or about March 31 of each year
following the year in which the first installment was paid.  The
amount of each annual installment payment to a Participant or
Beneficiary shall be determined by dividing the Account Balance as of
the latest Valuation Date preceding the date of payment by the number
of installments remaining to be paid.

      (f)   Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant,
any portion of a Participant's Account Balance that has not been paid
to the Participant as of the date of his or her death shall be paid to
the Participant's Beneficiary in a single sum as soon as
administratively practicable, but within 90 days, after the Valuation
Date following the date on which the Corporation receives notification
of the Participant's death.

      5.2   Revised Election.
      (a)   Pursuant to a Revised Election, a Participant may
specify:

         (1)   a date for the commencement of the payment of the
Participant's Account Balance that is after the date specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election; and/or

         (2)   a form of payment that calls for a greater number
of annual installment payments than that specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election, or a number of annual installment
payments where the Participant specified a single sum payment in his
or her Deferral Election.


         (3)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible
Executive may not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form
of payment to the extent that such an election would cause any
payments to be made after the March 31 first following the date that
is 20 years after the date of the Eligible Executive's retirement or
other termination of employment.

      (b)   If a Participant has made a Revised Election with
respect to amounts the payment of which has been deferred to a certain
date, the Participant may not thereafter make another Revised Election
with respect to amounts the payment of which, as of the date on which
such Revised Election is made and before giving effect to the Revised
Election, has been deferred to the same date.

      (c)   To be effective, a Revised Election must be:

         (1)   made in writing by the Participant on a form
furnished for such purpose by the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department;

         (2)   submitted to the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department on or before the date that is three months and one day
before the date on which the portion of the Participant's Account
Balance that is the subject of the Revised Election would, absent the
Revised Election, first become payable; and

         (3)   approved by the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department.  A Revised Election will be deemed to have been approved
by the Corporate Executive Compensation Department if it is not
disapproved by the Corporate Executive Compensation Department within
ten days of the date on which it is received.

      5.3   Special Payments.
      (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, a Participant may receive payment of all or a portion of his
or her Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable
following the receipt by the Corporate Executive Compensation
Department of the Participant's written request for such payment.

      (b)   (1)   As a condition of receiving any payment made
pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a), a Participant will be subject to, and
must elect the application of, one of the following penalties:

            (A)   payment to the Company of an amount equal
to eight percent of the amount of the payment made pursuant to
Subsection 5.3(a) and suspension of the Participant's further
participation in the Plan or any equivalent plan or plans maintained
by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for the entire
calendar year described in "(B)" below; or

            (B)   payment to the Company of an amount equal
to six percent of the amount of the payment made pursuant to
Subsection 5.3(a), and suspension of the Participant's tax-deferred
contributions to the Plan and the USP or any equivalent plan or plans
maintained by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for
the entire calendar year that follows the date on which the
Participant submits to the Corporate Executive Compensation Department
his or her request for payment pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a).

         (2)   The payment to the Company specified in Paragraph
5.3(b)(1) shall generally be deducted from the amount otherwise
payable to the Participant under Subsection 5.3(a).

      (c)   Where a Participant receives a payment of less than
his or her entire Account Balance pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a), the
portion of the Participant's Account Balance to which each Investment
Measurement Option is applied shall be reduced proportionately so that
the Investment Measurement Options apply to the Participant's Account
Balance in the same percentages immediately before and immediately
after the payment.

      (d)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in the event the Committee determines that any portion of a
Participant's Account Balance is the subject of a final determination
by the Internal Revenue Service that such portion is includible in the
Participant's taxable income, the Participant's Account Balance shall
be distributed to the extent it is so includible.  All income taxes
and related interest and penalties associated with credits to or
distributions from a Participant's Account shall be borne by the
Participant.

      5.4   Acceleration of Payment.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in its sole
discretion may accelerate the payment of Account Balances to all or
any group of similarly situated Participants or Beneficiaries, whether
before or after the Participants' termination of service, in response
to changes in the tax laws or accounting principles.

in part, any of or all the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or
terminate it entirely; provided, however, that any such modification,
amendment, suspension or termination may not, without the
Participant's consent, adversely affect any deferred amount credited
to him or her for any period prior to the effective date of such
modification, amendment, suspension or termination.  The Plan shall
remain in effect until terminated pursuant to this provision.

      6.2   Administration.  The Committee shall have the sole
authority to interpret the Plan and in its discretion to establish and
modify administrative rules for the Plan.  All expenses and costs in

payment to be made pursuant to this Plan any federal, state or local
taxes required by law to be withheld, and any associated interest
and/or penalties.

      6.3   Governing Law.  The Plan shall be construed and its
provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except as such laws may be superseded
by the federal law.

                      ---------------------------

      7.1   Transfer to Director's Plan.  Notwithstanding any
election of form of payments made hereunder, a Participant who,
following his termination of employment with the Corporation will be
eligible to participate in the Directors' Plan, may elect at any time
prior to the date that is three months and one day before the
Participant's termination of employment to transfer all or any portion
of his Account Balance to the Directors' Plan.  Such transfer must
occur prior to the date that payments of the Participant's Account
Balance would otherwise be made, or commence, hereunder.  Upon
transfer, the Participant's Account Balance (or the portion thereof
transferred) will be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Directors' Plan; provided, however, that any election of form of
payment made under the Directors' Plan with respect to the amount
transferred may not provide for a form of payment that is in any way
more rapid than the form of payment in effect under this Plan with
respect to such amounts immediately prior to transfer to the
Directors' Plan.  Valuation of the Account Balance (or the portion
thereof) to be transferred shall be made consistent with the valuation
provisions described in Article V.  Upon transfer, the Participant's
(or his or her Beneficiary's) rights hereunder with respect to the
amounts transferred shall cease.

                      ---------------------------

      5.1   Form and Time of Payment.  The benefits to which a
Participant or a Beneficiary may be entitled under the Plan shall be
paid in accordance with this Section 5.1.
      (a)   All payments under the Plan shall be made in cash.
      (b)   Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
payment of a Participant's Account Balance shall commence as of the
Valuation Date next following the date or dates specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or (where applicable) the
Participant's Revised Election or Elections.
      (c)   All payments shall be made in the form or forms
specified in the Participant's Deferral Election or Elections or
(where applicable) the Participant's Revised Election or Elections.
      (d)   To the extent a Participant has not specified the form
or time of payment of all or a part of his or her Account Balance,
payment of the amounts not specified will be made in a single sum as
soon as administratively practicable, but within 90 days, after the
first Valuation Date following the Participant's termination of
service as a Director.
      (e)   Where a Participant has elected payment in the form of
annual installments, each installment payment after the initial
installment payment shall be made on or about March 31 of each year
following the year in which the first installment was paid.  The
amount of each annual installment payment to a Participant or
Beneficiary shall be determined by dividing the Account Balance as of
the latest Valuation Date preceding the date of payment by the number
of installments remaining to be paid.
      (f)   Notwithstanding any election made by a Participant,
any portion of a Participant's Account Balance that has not been paid

Date following the date on which the Corporation receives notification
of the Participant's death.

      5.2   Revised Election.
      (a)   Pursuant to a Revised Election, a Participant may
specify:

         (1)   a date for the commencement of the payment of the
Participant's Account Balance that is after the date specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election; and/or
         (2)   a form of payment that calls for a greater number
of annual installment payments than that specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election, or a number of annual installment
payments where the Participant specified a single sum payment in his
or her Deferral Election.
         (3)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may
not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a form of payment to
the extent that such an election would cause any payments to be made
after the March 31 first following the date that is 20 years after the
date of the Participant's termination of service as a Director.
      (b)   If a Participant has made a Revised Election with
respect to amounts the payment of which has been deferred to a certain
date, the Participant may not thereafter make another Revised Election
with respect to amounts the payment of which, as of the date on which
such Revised Election is made and before giving effect to the Revised
Election, has been deferred to the same date.
      (c)   To be effective, a Revised Election must be:
         (1)   made in writing by the Participant on a form
furnished for such purpose by the Secretary of the Corporation;
         (2)   submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation on
or before the date that is three months and one day before the date on
which the portion of the Participant's Account Balance that is the
subject of the Revised Election would, absent the Revised Election,
first become payable; and
         (3)   approved by the Secretary of the Corporation.  A
Revised Election will be deemed to have been approved by the Secretary
of the Corporation if it is not disapproved by the Secretary of the
Corporation within ten days of the date on which it is received.

      5.3  Special Payment.
      (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
Contrary, a Participant may receive payment of all or a portion of his
or her Account Balance as soon as administratively practicable
following the receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of the
Participant's written request for such payment.
      (b)   As a condition of receiving any payment made pursuant
to Subsection 5.3(a), a Participant will be subject to, as a penalty,
payment to the Company of an amount equal to 8 percent of the amount
of the payment made pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a) and suspension of
the Participant's further participation in the Plan, the Unisys
Corporation Director Stock Unit Plan, or any equivalent plan or plans
maintained by the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation for
the entire full calendar year that follows the date on which the
Participant submits to the Secretary of the Corporation his or her
request for payment pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a).  The payment to the
Company shall generally be deducted from the amount otherwise payable
to the Participant under Subsection 5.3(a).
   (c)   Where a Participant receives a payment of less than his or
her entire Account Balance pursuant to Subsection 5.3(a), the portion
of the Participant's Account Balance to which each Investment
Measurement Option is applied shall be reduced proportionately so that
the Investment Measurement Options
apply to the Participant's Account Balance in the same percentage
immediately before and immediately after the payment.
   (d)   Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
in the event the Committee determines that any portion of a
Participant's Account Balance is the subject of a determination by the
Internal Revenue Service that such portion is includible in the
Participant's taxable income, the Participant's Account Balance shall
be distributed to the extent it is so includible.  All income taxes
and related interest and penalties associated with credits to or
distributions from a Participant's Account shall be borne by the
Participant.

      5.4   Acceleration of Payment.  Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in its sole
discretion may accelerate the payment of Account Balances to all or
any group of similarly situated Participants or Beneficiaries, whether
before or after the Participant's termination of service, in response
to changes in the tax laws or accounting principles.

                           Miscellaneous
                           -------------

      6.1   Amendment.  The Board may modify or amend, in whole or
in part, any of or all the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or
terminate it entirely; provided, however, that any such modification,
amendment, suspension or termination may not, without the
Participant's consent, adversely affect any deferred amount credited
to him or her for any period prior to the effective date of such
modification, amendment, suspension or termination.  The Plan shall
remain in effect until terminated pursuant to this provision.

      6.2   Administration.  The Committee shall have the sole
authority to interpret the Plan and in its discretion to establish and
modify administrative rules for the Plan.  All expenses and costs in
connection with the operation of this Plan shall be borne by the
Corporation.  The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from any
payment to be made pursuant to this Plan any federal, state or local
taxes required by law to be withheld, and any associated interest
and/or penalties.

      6.3   Governing Law.  The Plan shall be construed and its
provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except as such laws may be superseded
by the federal law.

                     ---------------------------

      7.1   Transfer of Officers' Plan Accounts.  Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Director who is a
former officer of Unisys Corporation and who is a participant in the
Officers' Plan may elect to transfer any or all of his/her account
balance in the Officer's Plan into this Plan.  Upon transfer, such
amounts shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan,
provided that all elections previously made under the Officers' Plan
with respect to such amounts shall continue in effect until otherwise
modified hereunder.  Notwithstanding the payment election provision
described in Article V hereof, in no event may a Director elect a form
of payment with respect to amounts transferred from the Officers' Plan
that is any more rapid than the form of payment in effect under the
Officers' Plan at the time of such transfer.


                                VIII
                          Change in Control

      (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, in the event of a "change in control," as defined below,

any portion of his/her account balance. Such election shall only be
effective if delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation within the
ninety-day period immediately following the date of the occurrence of
the change in control.
      (b)  If an election is timely made, the Participant(or
Beneficiary) will be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable after
the expiration of the ninety-day period, an amount equal to (1) the
full value or any portion thereof of the Account Balance minus (2) an
early withdrawal penalty equal to 8% of the total value of (1).  The
Committee, upon advice of counsel, may modify the early withdrawal
penalty described above in any way it deems appropriate and consistent
with the purposes of the Plan.

      8.2  Litigation Expenses.  If litigation is brought by a
Participant or Beneficiary after a change in control to enforce or
interpret any provision of the Plan, the Corporation to the extent
permitted by applicable law shall reimburse the Participant (or
Beneficiary) for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in such litigation.

Article VIII, a "change in control" shall have the same meaning as is

permits Directors to defer recognition of income until
termination of service with the Corporation.

approved the Plan on November 21, 1991.  The Plan was amended and
restated on December 17, 1992.  The effective date of the Plan as

Elective Stock Unit Awards may be provided if deemed necessary
and appropriate by the Committee.

   6.   Memorandum Account.  The Corporation shall establish on
its books a memorandum account for each Director denoted as the
Director's Corporation Stock Units Account.  Stock Units,
dividends and other adjustments shall be credited to the account
and payments made to the Director or Beneficiary shall be debited
to the account.  No assets shall be segregated or earmarked in
respect of any amounts credited to the Account and no Director
shall have any right to assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate
his or her interest or any portion thereof in his or her Account.
The Plan and the crediting of Accounts hereunder shall not
constitute a trust and shall be merely for the purpose of
recording an unsecured contractual obligation.

   7.   Dividends and Other Adjustments.  If the Corporation
shall issue a stock dividend on the common stock, stock dividend
equivalents shall be credited to the Account, as of the dividend
payment date, as Stock Units in the same amount as the stock
dividends to which the Director would have been entitled if the
Stock Units were shares of common stock.  Cash dividends, if any,
shall be credited to the Account, as of the dividend payment
date, in the form of Stock Units determined in the manner set
forth in Section 4(C) hereof based on the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the dividend payment date.  The Account shall
be appropriately adjusted to reflect splits, reverse splits, or
comparable changes to the Corporation's common stock.

   8.   Distribution of Accounts.
      (A)  Payment Election.  Except as otherwise provided in
Section 9, payment of an Account shall commence as of the

forms specified in the Election or Elections or (where
applicable) the Revised Election or Elections.
         (2)  To the extent a Director has not specified
the form or time of payment of all or a part of his or her
Account, payment of the amounts not specified will be made in a
single sum as soon as administratively practicable, but within 90
days, after the first Valuation Date following the Director's
termination of service as a Director.
         (3)  Where a Director has elected payment in the
form of annual installments, each installment payment after the
initial installment payment shall be made on or about March 31 of
each year following the year in which the first installment was
paid.
         (4)  Notwithstanding any election made by a
Director, any portion of a Director's Account that has not been
paid to the Director as of the date of his or her death shall be
paid to the Director's Beneficiary in a single sum as soon as
administratively practicable, but within 90 days following the
Valuation Date on which the Corporation receives notification of
the Director's death.
      (B)   Revised Election.
         (1)  Pursuant to a Revised Election, a Director
may specify:
            (I)  a date for the commencement of the
payment of the Director's Account that is after the date
specified in the Director's Election; and/or
            (II)  a form of payment that calls for a
greater number of annual installment payments than that specified
in the Director's Election, or a number of annual installment
payments where the Director specified a single sum payment in his
or her Election.
            (III)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Director may not elect a time of benefit commencement and/or a
form of payment to the extent that such an election would cause
any payments to be made after the March 31 first following the
date that is 20 years after the date of the Director's
termination of service as a Director.
         (2)  If a Participant has made a Revised Election
with respect to amounts the payment of which has been deferred to
a certain date, the Participant may not thereafter make another
Revised Election with respect to amounts the payment of which, as
of the date on which such Revised Election is made and before
giving effect to the Revised Election, has been deferred to the
same date.
         (3)  To be effective, a Revised Election must be:
            (I)  made in writing by the Director on a
form furnished for such purpose by the Secretary of the
Corporation;
            (II)  submitted to the Secretary of the
Corporation on or before the date that is three months and one
day before the date on which the portion of the Director's
Account that is the subject of the Revised Election would, absent
the Revised Election, first become payable; and
            (III)  approved by the Secretary of the
Corporation.  A Revised Election will be deemed to have been
approved by the Secretary of the Corporation if it is not
disapproved by the Secretary of the Corporation within ten days
of the date on which it is received.
      (C)   Valuation of Account.  In determining the amount
to be paid upon termination of service, the cash value of a
Director's Account shall equal the product of the number of Stock
Units credited to the Account multiplied by the Fair Market Value
as of the applicable Valuation Date. The value of Stock Units
payable in stock shall equal shares of Unisys Common Stock equal
to the number of whole Stock Units.  The value of fractional
Stock Units shall be paid in cash.  The amount of each annual
installment payment shall be determined by dividing the value
determined in according with the preceding sentence as of the
date of the installment payment by the number of installments
remaining to be paid.
      (D)   No early Withdrawals.  No early withdrawal of a
Director's Account shall be permitted.  Except as provided in
Section 9 hereof or as provided in an Election or Revised
Election, distribution of a Director's Account may be made only
upon termination of service as a Director.

   9.   Accelerated Payment.
      (A)   Change in Control.
         (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan to the contrary, in the event of a "change in control,"
each Director may elect to receive a single sum payment of all or
any portion of his or her Stock Unit Account balance.  Such
election shall only be effective if delivered to the Secretary of
the Corporation within the ninety-day period immediately
following the date of the occurrence of the change in control.
         (2)  If an election is timely made, the Director
(or Beneficiary) will be entitled to receive, as soon as
practicable after the expiration of the ninety-day period, an
amount equal to (a) the full value or any portion thereof of the
Stock Unit Account minus (b) an early withdrawal penalty equal to
8% of the total value of (a).  The Committee, upon advice of
counsel, may modify the early withdrawal penalty described above
in any way it deems appropriate and consistent with the purposes
of the Plan.
         (3)  If litigation is brought by the Director or
the Beneficiary after a change in control to enforce or interpret
any provision of the Plan, the Corporation to the extent
permitted by applicable law shall reimburse the Director (or
Beneficiary) for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
incurred in such litigation.
      (B)   Change in Circumstances.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee in
its sole discretion may accelerate the payment of Stock Units
Accounts to all or any group of similarly situated Directors or
Beneficiaries, whether before or after the Director's termination
of service, in response to changes in the tax laws or accounting
principles.

   10.   Amendment and Termination.  The Board may modify or
amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the
Plan, or suspend or terminate it entirely; provided, however,
that any such modification, amendment, suspension or termination
may not, without the participating Director's consent, adversely
affect any amount credited to his/her Account for any period
prior to the effective date of such modification, amendment,
suspension or termination.  The Plan shall remain in effect until
terminated pursuant to this provision.

   11.   Administration.  The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee.  Any decision made or action taken by the Committee
arising out of or in connection with the construction,
administration, interpretation, or effect of the Plan shall be
within the absolute discretion of the Committee and shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties.

   12.   Expenses and Taxes.  All expenses and costs in
connection with the operation of this Plan shall be borne by the
Corporation.  The Corporation shall have the right to deduct from
any payment to be made pursuant to this Plan any federal, state
or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

   13.   Governing Law.  The Plan shall be construed and its
provisions enforced and administered in accordance with the laws
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except as such laws may be
superseded by any federal law.

   14.    SEC Rule 16b.  The Plan is intended to comply with SEC
Rule 16b-3 as adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
effective November 1, 1996, and as amended thereafter, and the
Committee is authorized to interpret the Plan, modify the Plan
and/or adopt rules pursuant to the Plan in order to comply with
Rule 16b-3 or such other exemptions as may be applicable.
Specifically, the Committee may delay payment of accounts which
have been deferred or credited for a period of less than six
months as of the payment date.

Participant's accrued benefit under the terms of such
Prior Plan as of May 31, 1988, including early
retirement reduction factors in effect under the Prior
Plan on such date.

   (b)   Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the

equivalent factors in converting the
Participant's benefit to an optional form of

                          ----------------

6.01   Form of Benefit Payment

   If a Participant should elect a form of benefit payment
under the Company Plan (or such other plan or program,
unless impracticable not to so elect) which is different
than the form of benefit payment under this Plan, then for

Participant shall be deemed to be in receipt of the amount
of benefit payable as if the Participant had elected the
Normal Form of Benefit under the Company Plan.

6.02   Commencement of Benefits

   Benefit payments to a Participant shall commence at the same
time that benefit payments commence under the Company Plan.
 If a Participant is not a Participant in the Company Plan,
the Participant will commence  receipt of benefits under
this Plan as of the first day of the calendar month
following the Participant's termination of employment,
unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, agrees to an
alternative commencement date.

6.03   Funding of Benefits

   Benefits under this Plan shall not be funded and shall be
paid out of the general assets of the Company.  The Company

discretion but not the obligation to fund this Plan through
a trust of the type described in Internal Revenue Service
Private Letter Ruling 8502023.

6.04   Forfeiture and Suspension of Benefits

   (a)   Any benefit payable under this Plan shall be suspended
for any period during which it is determined by the
Committee that a Participant is engaged or employed as
a business owner, employee or consultant in any
activity which is in competition with any line of
business of the Company existing as of the date of the
Participant's termination of employment from the
Company.

   (b)   Additionally, any benefit payable under this Plan
shall be forfeitable in the event it is found by the
Committee that a Participant, either during or
following termination of employment with the Company,
willfully engaged in any activity which is determined
by the Committee to be materially adverse or
detrimental to the interests of the Company, including
any activity which might reasonably be considered by
the Committee to be of a nature warranting dismissal
of an employee for cause.  If the Committee so finds,
it may suspend benefits to the Participant and, after
furnishing  notice to the Participant, may terminate
benefits under this Plan.  The Committee will consider
in its deliberation relative to this provision any
explanation or justification submitted to it in
writing by the Participant within 60 days following
the giving of such notice.

   (c)   Except as heretofore provided for in this
Section 6.04, the acceptance by a Participant of any
benefit under this Plan shall constitute an agreement
with the provisions of this Plan and a representation
that he or she is not engaged or employed in any
activity serving as a basis for suspension or
forfeiture of benefits hereunder.  The Committee may
require each Participant eligible for a benefit under
this Plan to acknowledge in writing prior to the
payment of such benefit that he or she will accept
payment of benefits under this Plan only if there is
no basis for such suspension or forfeiture.

such action.

except to the extent of the benefits provided by the Plan.

7.05   Severability of Provisions

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
            Financial Condition and Results of Operations
            ---------------------------------------------
Overview
- --------
In January 1996, the company implemented a new business structure announced
in the fourth quarter of 1995. Under the new structure, the company operates
as one company with three business units: Information Services Group ("ISG"),
Global Customer Services ("GCS"), and Computer Systems Group ("CSG").
This realignment involved a major reengineering of the company's business
operations. The realignment had a disruptive effect on the company's
results of operations in the early part of 1996. However, as the year
progressed, the company showed quarter-to-quarter improvement in operational
performance. Additionally, the company took actions in 1996 to lengthen its
debt maturity profile through the issuance of $1.2 billion of debt and the
retirement of $766.4 million of debt with near-term maturities.

During 1996, the company began shipping a new line of large-scale enterprise
servers but experienced delays in the availability of certain models. The
delay prevented the company from reaching the level of shipments and
profitability initially expected for the full year of 1996. The company began
shipping some of the previously delayed models in the fourth quarter of 1996.

The company made progress during 1996 achieving anticipated savings from the
restructuring actions announced in the fourth quarter of 1995. The company
estimates the restructuring actions have generated annualized cost savings of
approximately $475 million by the end of 1996. By the end of 1997, the
company estimates that the restructuring actions will generate annualized
cost savings of approximately $600 million. Cash requirements for the
restructuring were approximately $220 million in 1996. Cash expenditures
in 1997 and 1998 are expected to be approximately $200 million and $130
million, respectively, principally for work force reductions outside the
United States and facility costs.

In 1996, the company reported income from continuing operations of $61.8
million compared to a loss from continuing operations of $627.3 million in
1995. On a per-share basis, the 1996 loss from continuing operations, after
preferred dividends, was $.34 per primary and fully diluted common share
compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.37 per primary and fully
diluted common share in 1995. After an extraordinary item for the early
extinguishment of debt, net income in 1996 was $49.7 million, or a loss of
$.41 per share, compared to a net loss, including discontinued operations,
in 1995 of $624.6 million, or a loss of $4.35 per share.


Results of operations
- ---------------------
As described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the company recorded special pretax charges of $846.6 million in 1995 and
$186.2 million in 1994. The 1995 charges represented the cost of
restructuring actions undertaken in connection with the realignment of the
company's operations into three business units and provisions for contract
losses. The 1994 charges represented costs for work force reductions. These
special charges were recorded in 1995 and 1994, respectively, in the
following statement of income categories (in millions of dollars): cost
of revenue, $498.7, $109.6; selling, general, and administrative expenses,
$305.2, $47.7; research and development expenses, $42.7, $27.9; and other
income, zero, $1.0, respectively.

The company experienced lower-than-anticipated costs for work force
reductions. As a result, the company reversed certain 1995 restructuring
reserves during 1996. These reversals were offset by charges primarily
relating to the refocus and discontinuance of certain products and
programs as the company's three business units continued to refine their
market focus.

The following comparisons of income statement categories exclude all of
these special charges.

Revenue and gross profit percentage by business unit for 1996 and 1995, on a
pro forma basis, are presented below:
Infor- mation Global Computer Elimi- Services Customer Systems (Millions of dollars) Total nations Group Services Group ============================================================================ 1996 - ------------------ Customer revenue $ 6,370.5 $ 1,951.4 $ 1,991.9 $ 2,427.2 Intercompany $ (524.0) 9.9 91.0 423.1 --------- -------- --------- --------- --------- Total revenue $ 6,370.5 $ (524.0) $ 1,961.3 $ 2,082.9 $ 2,850.3 ========= ======== ========= ========= ========= Gross profit percent 33.3% 17.8% 30.8% 40.4% 1995 - ------------------- Customer revenue $ 6,342.3 $ 1,836.8 $ 1,884.1 $ 2,621.4 Intercompany $ (595.2) 112.9 482.3 --------- -------- --------- --------- --------- Total revenue $ 6,342.3 $ (595.2) $ 1,836.8 $ 1,997.0 $ 3,103.7 ========= ======== ========= ========= ========= Gross profit percent 34.5% 15.1% 31.1% 41.7%
Revenue for 1996 was $6.4 billion compared to $6.3 billion in 1995 and $6.1 billion in 1994. Revenue from international operations in 1996 and 1995 was $4.0 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, and revenue from U.S. operations was $2.4 billion in both years. Customer revenue from ISG increased 6% in 1996 due to higher outsourcing and systems integration revenue. In GCS, customer revenue increased 6% from 1995 levels led by growth in distributed computing support services revenue which more than offset a decline in core maintenance revenue. Customer revenue in CSG decreased 7% principally due to declines in large- scale enterprise servers. Total gross profit percent was 33.3% in 1996 compared to 34.5% in 1995 and 38.5% in 1994. CSG gross profit percent was 40.4% in 1996 compared to 41.7% in 1995. CSG was negatively impacted by the delays in the availability of certain enterprise servers which prevented it from reaching the level of shipments and profitability initially expected for the full year, as well as the continuing shift to lower-margin products. The gross profit percent in ISG was 17.8% in 1996 compared to 15.1% in 1995 as a result of management's efforts to constrain growth in certain markets to improve profitability. GCS gross profit percent was 30.8% in 1996 compared to 31.1% in 1995. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in 1996 were $1.4 billion compared to $1.5 billion in both 1995 and 1994. Research and development expenses in 1996 were $342.9 million compared to $361.8 million in 1995 and $430.6 million in 1994. The declines in 1996 were largely due to the company's cost reduction actions. In 1996, the company reported operating income of $327.4 million (5.1% of revenue) compared to $284.5 million (4.5% of revenue) in 1995 and $456.9 million (7.5% of revenue) in 1994. Interest expense was $249.7 million in 1996, $202.1 million in 1995 and $203.7 million in 1994. The increase in 1996 was due to a higher level of debt during 1996. Other income (loss), net, which can vary from year to year, was income of $16.0 million in 1996 and net losses of $16.9 million in 1995 and $52.4 million in 1994. The change in 1996 compared to 1995 was due principally to foreign exchange gains in 1996 compared to losses in 1995, a gain on the sale of an equity investment in 1996, and higher equity income. The decline in the loss in 1995 compared to 1994 was principally due to higher interest income. Income from continuing operations before income taxes in 1996 was $93.7 million compared to $65.5 million in 1995 and $200.8 million in 1994. Estimated income taxes in 1996 were $31.9 million compared to $22.3 million in 1995 and $55.6 million in 1994. The 1996 tax provision includes a benefit of $24.8 million relating to reversals of deferred tax valuation allowances due to additional tax planning strategies available to the company. In 1996 and 1994, the company recorded extraordinary charges for repurchases of debt of $12.1 million and $7.7 million, or $.07 and $.04 per fully diluted common share, respectively. In May of 1995, the company sold its defense business for cash of $862 million. The net results of the defense operations for 1995 and 1994 are reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income as "income from discontinued operations." Prior-period financial statements have been restated to report the defense business as a discontinued operation. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 1996, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires the recognition or disclosure of compensation expense for grants of stock options or other equity instruments issued to employees based upon their fair value. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the company adopted the disclosure-only option and therefore will continue to apply APB Opinion 25 for its stock plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option plans. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of these statements had no effect on the company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income, or liquidity. In June of 1996, SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" was issued. This statement requires that if a transfer of financial assets does not meet certain criteria for recording the transaction as a sale, the transfer shall be accounted for as a secured borrowing. At December 31, 1996, certain receivable transfers, principally outside the United States, would not meet the criteria for recording as a sale. Accordingly, if such transfers continue, they would be accounted for as secured borrowings. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. The company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income, or liquidity. Financial condition - ------------------- Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at December 31, 1996 were $1.0 billion compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 1995. During 1996, cash used for operating activities was $89.7 million compared to cash provided of $97.7 million during 1995. The increase in cash usage was due in large part to reductions in payables and accruals, including amounts related to restructuring. Cash used for investing activities during 1996 was $218.8 million compared to $333.3 million a year ago. The decrease was principally due to a reduction in investments in properties and rental equipment, higher proceeds from sales of properties and lower expenditures for purchases of businesses. Cash provided by financing activities during 1996 was $251.2 million compared to cash used of $182.5 million in the year-ago period, principally due to the issuance and retirement of debt. At December 31, 1996, total debt was $2.3 billion, an increase of $402.2 million from December 31, 1995. In March 1996, the company issued $299.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/4 % Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 (which are convertible into an aggregate of 43.5 million shares of the company's common stock at a conversion price of $6.875 per share) and $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Notes due 2003. In October 1996, the company issued $450.0 million of 11 3/4 % Senior Notes due 2004. In 1996 and 1995, the company retired $766.4 million and $68.2 million of debt, respectively. Included in the 1996 retirements was the early retirement of $426.8 million of debt scheduled to mature in 1997. These early retirements resulted in the extraordinary loss of $.07 per share previously discussed. See Notes 4 and 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The company may, from time to time, continue to redeem or repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon availability, market conditions, and other factors. During the first quarter of 1996, the credit ratings for the company's public debt were lowered. The credit ratings on the company's senior long-term debt and subordinated debt were lowered from Ba3 to B1 and from B2 to B3, respectively, by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and from BB- to B+ and from B to B-, respectively, by Standard and Poor's Corporation. In August 1996, Duff & Phelps Inc. lowered its credit ratings on the company's senior long-term debt and subordinated debt from BB- to B+ and from B to B-, respectively. The lowering of the ratings has not materially affected the interest rates that the company pays on its debt, nor its ability to access capital markets. In June 1996, the company entered into a one-year $200 million revolving credit facility replacing the prior facility that expired in May 1996. The conditions precedent to a borrowing under the facility include minimum cash balances and compliance with net worth and interest coverage covenants. In addition, if any borrowings are outstanding, the company is required to maintain full compensating balances with the bank group unless waived by a supermajority of the banks. The company does not expect to utilize this facility. In January 1997, the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering $500 million of debt or equity securities to enable the company to be prepared for future market opportunities. Dividends paid on preferred stock were $120.8 million in 1996 compared to $120.2 million in 1995 and $228.0 million in 1994. The 1994 dividends paid included full payment for all preferred dividend arrearages. In January 1997, the company reached an agreement with Mitsui and Co., Ltd., to redeem all of the $100 million Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock on March 27, 1997, and all of the $50 million Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock on June 26, 1997, at stated value plus accrued dividends. Accordingly, at December 31, 1996, the company classified such preferred stock as redeemable preferred stock in the consolidated balance sheet. Net cash used for discontinued operations in 1996 was $20.5 million. In 1995, discontinued operations provided cash of $658.3 million, consisting of $862.0 million proceeds from the sale of the defense business offset by cash used of $203.7 million. Cash provided by discontinued operations in 1994 was $102.2 million. At December 31, 1996, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of $1,444 million. For the reasons cited below, management determined that it is more likely than not that $1,009 million of such assets will be realized, therefore resulting in a valuation allowance of $435 million. The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its net deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company's forecast of future taxable income, which is adjusted by applying probability factors, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize deferred tax assets. The combination of these factors is expected to be sufficient to realize the entire amount of net deferred tax assets. Approximately $2.9 billion of future taxable income (predominantly U.S.) is needed to realize all of the net deferred tax assets. The company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. In recent years, the information management business has undergone dramatic changes and there can be no assurances that in the future there would not be increased competition or other factors that may result in a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, delays in product availability, or technological obsolescence. Stockholders' equity decreased $254.2 million during 1996, principally reflecting the reclassification of the $150.0 million Series B and C Preferred Stock, translation adjustments of $50.9 million, and preferred dividends declared of $117.2 million, offset in part by net income of $49.7 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Unisys Corporation ------------------------------------------ NOTE 1 Summary of significant accounting policies - -------------------------------------------------- Principles of consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in companies representing ownership interests of 20% to 50% are accounted for by the equity method. Use of estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash equivalents - ---------------- All short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Inventories - ----------- Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally on the first-in, first-out method. Properties, rental equipment, and depreciation - ---------------------------------------------- Properties and rental equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated over the estimated lives of such assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the asset lives or the terms of the respective leases. The principal rates used are summarized below by classification of properties: Rate per year (%) ----------------- Buildings 2 - 5 Machinery and equipment 5 - 25 Tools and test equipment 10 - 33 1/3 Rental equipment 25 Revenue recognition - ------------------- Sales revenue is generally recorded upon shipment of product in the case of sales contracts, upon shipment of the program in the case of software, and upon installation in the case of sales-type leases. Revenue from services and equipment maintenance is recorded as earned over the lives of the respective contracts. Revenue under systems integration and services contracts is recognized when services have been performed and accepted or milestones have been met. Cost of revenue under such contracts is charged based on current estimated total costs. Accounting for large multi-year, fixed-price systems integration contracts involves considerable use of estimates in determining revenue, costs, and profits. When estimates indicate a loss under a contract, cost of revenue is charged with a provision for such loss. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Income taxes - ------------ Income taxes are provided on taxable income at the statutory rates applicable to such income. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries since such amounts are expected to be reinvested indefinitely. Earnings per common share - ------------------------- The computation of both primary and fully diluted earnings per share was based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The inclusion of additional shares assuming the exercise of stock options, conversion of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or conversion of the 8 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due August 1, 2000, and March 15, 2006, would have been antidilutive. The shares used in the computations for the three years ended December 31, 1996 were as follows (in thousands): 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Primary 172,601 171,238 170,752 Fully diluted 172,601 171,238 170,752 Software capitalization - ----------------------- The cost of development of computer software to be sold or leased is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated revenue- producing lives of the products, but not in excess of three years following product release. Unamortized marketable software costs (which are included in other assets) at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $223.1 and $238.9 million, respectively. Cost in excess of net assets acquired - ------------------------------------- Cost in excess of net assets acquired principally represents the excess of cost over fair value of the net assets of Sperry Corporation, which is being amortized on the straight-line method over 40 years. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $617.1 and $571.6 million, respectively. The carrying value of cost in excess of net assets acquired is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it may not be recoverable. If such an event occurred, the company would prepare projections of future results of operations for the remaining amortization period. If such projections indicated that the cost in excess of net assets acquired would not be recoverable, the company's carrying value of such asset would be reduced by the estimated excess of such value over projected income. Translation of foreign currency - ------------------------------- The local currency is the functional currency for most of the company's international subsidiaries and, as such, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity. Exchange gains and losses on forward exchange contracts designated as hedges of international net investments and exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are also reported in the separate component of stockholders' equity. For those international subsidiaries operating in hyper-inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency and, as such, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income. The company also enters into forward exchange contracts and options that have been designated as hedges of certain transactional exposures. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred and are recognized in income together with the transaction being hedged. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. NOTE 2 Significant fourth-quarter events - ----------------------------------------- Restructuring charges - --------------------- In the fourth quarter of 1995, the company recorded a pretax charge of $717.6 million, $581.9 million after tax, or $3.39 per fully diluted common share. The charge included (a) $436.6 million for work force reductions of approximately 7,900 people including severance, notice pay, medical, and other benefits, (b) $218.6 million for consolidation of office facilities and manufacturing capacity, and (c) $62.4 million associated with product and program discontinuances. In the fourth quarter of 1994, the company recorded a pretax charge of $186.2 million, $133.1 million after tax, or $.78 per fully diluted common share. The charge was related to involuntary employee termination benefits including severance, notice pay, medical, and other benefits for approximately 4,600 people and was taken to reduce the company's cost structure. Cash expenditures related to restructuring in 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $220.8 million, $133.0 million, and $6.3 million, respectively. Cash expenditures in 1997 and 1998 are expected to be approximately $200 million and $130 million, respectively, principally for work force reductions outside the United States and facility costs. Personnel reductions in 1996 related to restructuring actions were approximately 5,000 and are expected to be approximately 2,200 in 1997 and 700 in 1998. Actual costs incurred are charged to the accrued liability when the actions are taken. Activity related to the restructuring reserve during the year ended December 31, 1996 was as follows: (Millions) 12/31/95 Utilized Other(4) 12/31/96 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Work force reductions (1) $ 473.3 $ (155.6) $ (110.2) $ 207.5 Facilities (2) 249.6 (62.9) 5.6 192.3 Products (3) 11.4 (81.9) 104.6 34.1 ------- -------- -------- -------- $ 734.3 $ (300.4) $ -0- $ 433.9 ======= ======== ======== ======== - ----------------------------------------------------------- (1) Includes severance, notice pay, medical, and other benefits. (2) Includes consolidation of office facilities and manufacturing capacity. (3) Includes product and program discontinuances. (4) Includes revisions to 1995 classifications, reversals of excess reserves, and provisions in 1996. During 1996, the company experienced lower-than-anticipated costs for work force reductions. Revisions of estimates for these costs were offset by additional provisions for product and program discontinuances and facility consolidations, $84 million of which were recorded in the fourth quarter. 1995 fourth quarter events - -------------------------- In the fourth quarter of 1995, the company recorded a charge (in cost of revenue) for contract losses of $129.0 million ($88.6 million after tax), or $.51 per primary and fully diluted share, related to certain services contracts, primarily a few large multi-year, fixed-price systems integration contracts. Included in the charge is $65.5 million related to fourth-quarter developments with respect to contract terminations and $63.5 million related to contract performance issues including schedule slippages, late deliveries, and cost overruns that arose in that quarter. Summary - ------- The 1995 charges for restructuring and loss contracts and the 1994 restructuring charge were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: Year ended December 31 (Millions) 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of revenue $ 498.7 $ 109.6 Selling, general and administrative expenses 305.2 47.7 Research and development expenses 42.7 27.9 Other income, net 1.0 ------- ------- Total $ 846.6 $ 186.2 ======= ======= NOTE 3 Discontinued operations - ------------------------------- During the year ended December 31, 1995, the company sold its defense business for cash of $862 million. The net results of the defense operations for 1995 and 1994 are reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income as "income from discontinued operations." The following is a summary of the results of operations of the company's defense business: Year ended December 31 (Millions) 1995 1994 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $ 258.1* $ 1,421.5 ======== ========= Income from operations (net of taxes: 1995, $6.5; 1994, $42.5) $ 12.5* $ 96.1 Loss on sale, net of taxes of $ 98.2 (9.8) -------- --------- Income from discontinued operations $ 2.7 $ 96.1 ======== ========= * Reflects results for the period January 1 through March 31, 1995. NOTE 4 Accounting changes and extraordinary items - -------------------------------------------------- Effective January 1, 1996, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 requires the recognition or disclosure of compensation expense for grants of stock options or other equity instruments issued to employees based upon their fair value. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the company adopted the disclosure-only option and therefore will continue to apply APB Opinion 25 for its stock plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option plans. The adoption of these statements had no effect on the company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income, or liquidity. In 1996, SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued. This statement is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. The company does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income, or liquidity. In 1996 and 1994, the company recorded extraordinary charges for extinguishment of debt as follows: 1996, $12.1 million, net of $6.5 million of income tax benefits, or $.07 per fully diluted common share; 1994, $7.7 million, net of $5.1 million of income tax benefits, or $.04 per fully diluted common share. NOTE 5 Current and long-term receivables, net - ---------------------------------------------- Current and long-term receivables, net comprise the following: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------ Accounts receivable, net $ 934.0 $ 975.1 Sales-type leases, net 54.5 50.7 Installment accounts, net 29.8 29.2 ------- ------- Total, net 1,018.3 1,055.0 Less - Current receivables, net 959.0 996.3 ------- ------- Long-term receivables, net $ 59.3 $ 58.7 ======= ======= At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the company had sold accounts receivable of $308.0 and $393.0 million, respectively. Recourse amounts associated with these sales are expected to be minimal. Adequate reserves have been provided to cover potential losses. On an ongoing basis, the company sells accounts receivable to Unisys Receivables, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, which then sells such receivables to a master trust. Amounts sold under this arrangement, which are included in the above accounts receivable sold, were $155.0 and $152.5 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. NOTE 6 Inventories - ------------------- Inventories comprise the following: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 ------- ------- Finished equipment and supplies $ 325.5 $ 358.6 Work in process and raw materials 316.8 315.3 ------- ------- Total inventories $ 642.3 $ 673.9 ======= ======= At December 31, 1996 and 1995, work in process inventories included $154.7 and $120.0 million, respectively, of costs related to long-term contracts. NOTE 7 Estimated income taxes - ------------------------------ Year ended December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes United States $ (91.1) $ (482.7) $ (75.2) Foreign 184.8 (298.4) 89.8 ------- ------- ------- Total income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 93.7 $ (781.1) $ 14.6 ======= ======= ======= Estimated income taxes (benefit) Current United States $ - $ (83.6) $ (6.0) Foreign 72.0 60.5 87.7 State and local 10.9 (5.7) (18.6) ------- ------- ------- Total 82.9 (28.8) 63.1 ------- ------- ------- Deferred United States (70.9) (140.4) (32.8) Foreign 12.4 15.4 (27.8) State and local 7.5 ------- ------- ------- Total (51.0) (125.0) (60.6) ------- ------- ------- Total estimated income taxes (benefit) $ 31.9 $ (153.8) $ 2.5 ======= ======= ======= Following is a reconciliation of estimated income taxes at the United States statutory tax rate to estimated income taxes as reported: Year ended December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- United States statutory income tax (benefit) $ 32.8 $ (273.4) $ 5.1 Difference in estimated income taxes on foreign earnings, losses, and remittances 7.9 192.8 30.3 State taxes 11.8 (3.6) (12.1) Tax refund claims, audit issues, and other matters (12.9) (85.4) (32.8) Amortization of cost in excess of net assets acquired 12.6 12.6 12.6 Reversal of valuation allowances (24.8) Other 4.5 3.2 (.6) -------- -------- -------- Estimated income taxes (benefit) $ 31.9 $ (153.8) $ 2.5 ======= ======= ======= The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 -------- -------- Deferred tax assets: Tax loss carryforwards $ 469.4 $ 532.8 Foreign tax credit carryforwards 407.8 316.8 Other tax credit carryforwards 77.5 77.8 Capitalized research and development 242.4 114.2 Depreciation 61.3 60.7 Postretirement benefits 85.0 85.3 Employee benefits 73.0 81.6 Restructuring 196.4 286.1 Other 250.4 331.0 -------- -------- 1,863.2 1,886.3 Valuation allowance (434.9) (498.5) -------- -------- Total deferred tax assets $ 1,428.3 $ 1,387.8 ======== ======== Deferred tax liabilities: Pensions $ 315.1 $ 317.5 Other 103.9 112.1 -------- -------- Total deferred tax liabilities $ 419.0 $ 429.6 ======== ======== SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. During 1996, the net decrease in the valuation allowance was $63.6 million. Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $595 million at December 31, 1996. Such earnings are expected to be reinvested indefinitely. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability with respect to such earnings is not practicable. The additional taxes payable on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries, if remitted, would be substantially offset by U.S. tax credits for foreign taxes already paid. While there are no specific plans to distribute the undistributed earnings in the immediate future, where economically appropriate to do so, such earnings may be remitted. Cash paid during 1996, 1995, and 1994 for income taxes was $112.7, $132.2, and $87.6 million, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the company has U.S. federal and state and local tax loss carryforwards and foreign tax loss carryforwards for certain foreign subsidiaries, the tax effect of which is approximately $469.4 million. These carryforwards will expire as follows (in millions): 1997, $10.1; 1998, $3.2; 1999, $7.6; 2000, $13.0; 2001, $10.0; and $425.5 thereafter. The company also has available tax credit carryforwards of approximately $485.3 million, which will expire as follows (in millions): 1997, $2.1; 1998, $109.6; 1999, $119.8; 2000, $100.1; 2001, $108.6; and $45.1 thereafter. The company's net deferred tax assets include substantial amounts of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. In recent years, the information management business has undergone dramatic changes and there can be no assurance that in the future there would not be increased competition or other factors that may result in a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, delays in product availability, or technological obsolescence. The company is currently contesting issues before the Internal Revenue Service in connection with Sperry Corporation for the years ended March 31, 1978 through September 16, 1986. For Convergent, Inc., the company is awaiting a report from the Internal Revenue Service confirming the treatment of settled issues for the years 1985-1988. In management's opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. NOTE 8 Properties and rental equipment - --------------------------------------- Properties and rental equipment comprise the following: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 --------- --------- Land $ 24.6 $ 26.8 Buildings 218.5 239.8 Machinery and equipment 1,269.0 1,312.6 Tools and test equipment 138.3 159.8 Unamortized leasehold improvements 42.5 52.7 Construction in progress 19.6 29.9 Rental equipment 237.8 266.8 --------- --------- Total properties and rental equipment $ 1,950.3 $ 2,088.4 ========= ========= NOTE 9 Long-term debt - ---------------------- Long-term debt comprises: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 ------- ------- 9 1/2% notes due 1998 $ 197.5 $ 197.5 10 5/8% senior notes due 1999 330.1 330.1 8 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2000 345.0 345.0 12% senior notes due 2003 425.0 11 3/4% senior notes due 2004 450.0 8 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2006 299.0 9 3/4% senior sinking fund debentures due 2016 190.0 190.0 Credit sensitive notes 291.8 9 3/4% senior notes 238.1 8 7/8% notes 135.0 Japanese yen 100.3 Other 40.6 49.0 ------- ------- Total 2,277.2 1,876.8 Less - Current maturities 5.8 343.5 ------- ------- Total long-term debt $ 2,271.4 $ 1,533.3 ======= ======= Total long-term debt maturities in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 are $5.8, $213.0, $345.0, $361.0, and $12.2 million, respectively. Cash paid during 1996, 1995, and 1994 for interest was $255.1, $201.3, and $208.9, million, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the company purchased approximately $173 million of U.S. Government securities and deposited them into an irrevocable trust. The funds in the trust will be used solely to satisfy the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal on approximately $155 million of the company's outstanding Credit Sensitive Notes due July 1, 1997. As a result, the Notes are extinguished for financial reporting purposes. The company had previously purchased approximately $137 million of such Notes in the open market and had redeemed all of its 8 7/8% Notes due July 1997. These debt extinguishments resulted in an extraordinary loss of $.07 per share. The company has a one-year $200 million revolving credit facility that expires in June 1997. The conditions precedent to a borrowing under the facility include minimum cash balances and compliance with net worth and interest coverage covenants. In addition, if any borrowings are outstanding, the company is required to maintain full compensating balances with the bank group unless waived by a supermajority of the banks. The company pays commitment fees on the unused amount of the facility. In addition, international subsidiaries maintain short-term credit arrangements with banks in accordance with local customary practice. NOTE 10 Other accrued liabilities - ---------------------------------- Other accrued liabilities comprise the following: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 ------- ------- Payrolls and commissions $ 305.6 $ 328.4 Customers' deposits and prepayments 551.9 507.3 Taxes other than income taxes 164.6 172.4 Restructuring* 294.7 503.7 Other 136.6 165.6 ------- ------- Total other accrued liabilities $ 1,453.4 $ 1,677.4 ======= ======= * At December 31, 1996 and 1995, an additional $139.2 million and $230.6 million, respectively, was reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. NOTE 11 Leases - --------------- Rental expense, less income from subleases, for 1996, 1995, and 1994 was $177.7, $195.8, and $195.1 million, respectively. Minimum net rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases outstanding at December 31, 1996, substantially all of which relate to real properties, were as follows: 1997, $152.4 million; 1998, $124.8 million; 1999, $102.1 million; 2000, $77.1 million; 2001, $63.5 million; and thereafter, $425.0 million. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $112.0 million due in the future under non- cancelable subleases. NOTE 12 Litigation - ------------------- There are various lawsuits, claims, and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company. Although the ultimate results of these lawsuits, claims, and proceedings are not currently determinable, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position, consolidated statement of income or liquidity. NOTE 13 Financial instruments - ------------------------------ The company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. The derivative instruments used are foreign exchange forward contracts and options. These derivatives, which are over-the-counter instruments, are non-leveraged and involve little complexity. The company monitors and controls its risks in the derivative transactions referred to above by periodically assessing the cost of replacing, at market rates, those contracts in the event of default by the counterparty. The company believes such risk to be remote. In addition, before entering into derivative contracts, and periodically during the life of the contract, the company reviews the counterparties' financial condition. Due to its foreign operations, the company is exposed to the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange forward contracts and options generally having maturities of less than nine months are entered into for the sole purpose of hedging certain transactional exposures. The cost of foreign currency options is recorded in prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 1996, such prepaid expense was $3.6 million. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the decline in value of the underlying exposures is partially offset by gains in the value of purchased currency options designated as hedges. When the U.S. dollar weakens, the increase in the value of the underlying exposures is reduced only by the premium paid to purchase the options. The cost of options and any gains thereon are reported in income when the related transactions being hedged (generally within 12 months) are recognized. The company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts, which hedge transactional exposures, are deferred and included in current liabilities until the corresponding transaction is recognized. At December 31, 1996, the company had a total of $200.0 million (of notional value) of foreign exchange forward contracts, $144.7 million to sell foreign currencies, and $55.3 million to buy foreign currencies. At December 31, 1995, the company had a total of $370.9 million of such contracts, $176.1 million to sell foreign currencies and $194.8 million to buy foreign currencies. At December 31, 1996, a realized net gain on such contracts of approximately $2.8 million was deferred and included in current liabilities. Gains or losses on foreign exchange forward contracts that hedge foreign currency transactions are reported in income when the related transactions being hedged (generally within 12 months) are recognized. Financial instruments comprise the following: December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 --------- --------- Outstanding: Long-term debt $ 2,277.2 $ 1,876.8 Foreign exchange forward contracts* 200.0 370.9 Foreign exchange options* 282.3 256.8 Interest rate swaps* - 50.2 Foreign currency swaps* - 50.1 --------- --------- Estimated fair value: Long-term debt 2,374.3 1,715.8 Foreign exchange forward contracts 197.8 369.3 Foreign exchange options 5.9 3.8 Interest rate swaps - (1.0) Foreign currency swaps - 18.6 *notional value Financial instruments also include temporary cash investments and customer accounts receivable. Temporary investments are placed with creditworthy financial institutions, primarily in over-securitized treasury repurchase agreements, Euro-time deposits, or commercial paper of major corporations. The company's cash equivalents are classified as available-for- sale and at December 31, 1996, principally have maturities of less than one month. Due to the short maturities of these instruments, they are carried on the balance sheet at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Realized gains or losses during 1996 and 1995, as well as unrealized gains or losses at December 31, 1996, were immaterial. Receivables are due from a large number of customers that are dispersed worldwide across many industries. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the company had no significant concentrations of credit risk. For foreign currency contracts and options, no impact on financial position or results of operations would result from a change in the level of the underlying rate, price or index. All of the company's foreign currency contracts and options are hedges against specific exposures and have been accounted for as such. Therefore, a change in the derivative's value would be offset with an equal but opposite change in the hedged item. The carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the company's long-term debt was based on the quoted market prices for publicly traded issues. For debt that is not publicly traded, the fair value was estimated based on current yields to maturity for the company's publicly traded debt with similar maturities. In estimating the fair value of its derivative positions, the company utilizes quoted market prices, if available, or quotes obtained from outside sources. NOTE 14 Business segment information - ------------------------------------- The company operates primarily in one business segment - information management. This segment represents more than 90% of consolidated revenue, operating profit, and identifiable assets. The company's products and services include enterprise-class and network servers, desktop/mobile systems, software, systems integration, consulting and outsourcing services, distributed computing support services, and hardware/software maintenance. These products and services are marketed throughout the world to commercial businesses and governments. The company's worldwide operations are structured to achieve consolidated objectives. As a result, significant interdependencies and overlaps exist among the company's operating units. Accordingly, the revenue, operating profit, and identifiable assets shown for each geographic area may not be indicative of the amounts that would have been reported if the operating units were independent of one another. Sales and transfers between geographic areas are generally priced to recover cost plus an appropriate mark-up for profit. Operating profit is revenue less related costs and direct and allocated operating expenses, excluding interest and the unallocated portion of corporate expenses. Corporate assets are those assets maintained for general purposes, principally cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, costs in excess of net assets acquired, prepaid pension assets, deferred taxes, investments at equity, and corporate facilities. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue. Revenue from various agencies of the U.S. Government approximated $542, $530, and $476 million in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. A summary of the company's operations by geographic area is presented below: (Millions) 1996 1995 1994 --------- --------- --------- United States Customer revenue $ 2,350.0 $ 2,405.5 $ 2,389.1 Affiliate revenue 720.2 721.6 695.6 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 3,070.2 $ 3,127.1 $ 3,084.7 ========= ========= ========= Operating profit (loss) $ (23.7) $ (306.9) $ 33.3 Identifiable assets 1,314.9 1,368.5 1,247.8 --------- --------- --------- Europe and Africa Customer revenue $ 2,063.5 $ 2,090.3 $ 1,935.4 Affiliate revenue 28.2 28.8 47.2 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 2,091.7 $ 2,119.1 $ 1,982.6 ========= ========= ========= Operating profit (loss) $ 76.0 $ (505.0) $ (82.5) Identifiable assets 777.5 827.8 758.2 --------- --------- --------- Americas/Pacific Customer revenue $ 1,957.0 $ 1,846.5 $ 1,771.0 Affiliate revenue 122.3 138.7 177.7 --------- --------- --------- Total $ 2,079.3 $ 1,985.2 $ 1,948.7 ========= ========= ========= Operating profit $ 420.9 $ 408.0 $ 392.6 Identifiable assets 492.6 496.1 628.1 --------- --------- --------- Adjustments and eliminations Affiliate revenue $ (870.7) $ (889.1) $ (920.5) Operating profit (4.8) 21.5 18.4 Identifiable assets (28.7) (23.9) (50.7) --------- --------- --------- Consolidated Revenue $ 6,370.5 $ 6,342.3 $ 6,095.5 ========= ========= ========= Operating profit (loss) $ 468.4 $ (382.4) $ 361.8 General corporate expenses (125.0) (196.6) (143.5) Interest expense (249.7) (202.1) (203.7) --------- --------- --------- Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 93.7 $ (781.1) $ 14.6 ========= ========= ========= Identifiable assets $ 2,556.3 $ 2,668.5 $ 2,583.4 Corporate assets 4,410.8 4,444.7 4,610.0 --------- --------- --------- Total assets $ 6,967.1 $ 7,113.2 $ 7,193.4 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 15 Employee plans - ----------------------- Retirement benefits - ------------------- Defined benefit retirement income plans cover the majority of domestic employees and certain employees in countries outside the United States. In the United States, the company has a retirement plan under which funds are deposited with a trustee. Major subsidiaries outside the United States provide for employee pensions in accordance with local requirements and customary practices, and several maintain funded defined benefit plans. For the plan covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), the company's funding policy is to fund in accordance with ERISA funding standards. The various benefit formulas and the funding methods used in the international plans are in accordance with local requirements. Plan assets generally are invested in common stocks, fixed-income securities, insurance contracts, and real estate. At December 31, 1996, the assets of the company's U.S. pension plan included approximately 1.3 million shares of the company's common stock valued at approximately $9.0 million. Net curtailment gains of $10.5, $14.9, and $8.3 million have been recognized in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. Stock plans - ----------- Under plans approved by the stockholders, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and restricted stock units may be granted to officers and other key employees. Options have been granted to purchase the company's common stock at 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Options have a maximum duration of ten years and become exercisable in annual installments over a two-, three- or four-year period following date of grant. Restricted stock and restricted stock units have been granted and are subject to forfeiture until the expiration of a specified period of service commencing on the date of grant. Compensation expense resulting from the awards is charged to income ratably from the date of grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on fair market value at the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 1996, 2.9 million shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were granted at a weighted average grant date price of $7.06 per share, .5 million shares and units were forfeited, and $4.6 million was charged to income. Effective January 1, 1996, the company adopted the disclosure-only option under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The company continues to apply APB Opinion 25 for its stock plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option plans. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the company had accounted for its stock plans under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.34% and 6.70%, volatility factors of the expected market price of the company's common stock of 55%, a weighted average expected life of the option of 5 years, and no dividends. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The company's pro forma net income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, follows: 1996, $46.0 million or a loss of $.43 per share; and 1995, $(626.9) million or a loss of $4.36 per share. Since the fair value of options is recognized over the vesting period, the initial impact on pro forma net income may not be representative of pro forma results in future years, when the effect of multiple awards would be reflected in the pro forma results. A summary of the status of stock option activity follows:

Other postretirement benefits - ----------------------------- The company provides certain health care benefits for U.S. employees who retired or terminated after qualifying for such benefits. Most international employees are covered by government-sponsored programs and the cost to the company is not significant. The company expects to fund its share of such benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go-basis. In 1992, the company announced changes to its postretirement benefit plans to phase out the company's subsidy by January 1, 1996. Several lawsuits have been brought by plan participants challenging the announced changes to the plans, and the company is defending them vigorously. In 1994, several of these lawsuits were resolved, which resulted in the company recognizing income of $13.8 million ($8.0 million amortization of prior service benefit and $5.8 million settlement). Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1996, 1995, and 1994 includes the following components:
Year ended December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 1994 ------- ------- ------- Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 16.0 $ 17.6 $ 22.1 Amortization of prior service benefit (2.7) (8.5) (8.0) Net amortization and deferral (1.5) 3.6 (2.5) Return on plan assets (1.0) (4.2) .5 Service cost - benefits earned during the period .1 1.0 ------- ------- ------- Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 10.8 $ 8.6 $ 13.1 ======= ======= =======
The status of the plan and amounts recognized in the company's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:
December 31 (Millions) 1996 1995 -------- -------- Actuarial present value of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation - retirees $ 221.6 $ 223.4 Less plan assets at fair value (24.8) (27.3) -------- -------- Accrued postretirement benefit liability in excess of plan assets 196.8 196.1 Unrecognized net loss (10.7) (8.3) Unrecognized prior service benefit 28.3 30.9 -------- -------- Accrued postretirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated balance sheet $ 214.4 $ 218.7 ======== ========
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the entire liability was classified as long-term. The assumed rate of return on plan assets, which are principally invested in fixed-income securities, was 8% in 1996 and 1995, and the weighted average discount rate used to measure the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the expected cost of benefits covered by the plan was 9.4% for 1997, gradually declining to 6% in 2006 and thereafter. A one-percentage point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1996 by $11.2 million and increase the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic post- retirement health care benefit cost by $.9 million.

The company has 360,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. The company has 40,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $1 per share, issuable in series. The company has authorization to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), 10 shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), and 20 shares of Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock"). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock (i) accrues quarterly cumulative dividends of $3.75 per share per annum, (ii) has a liquidation preference of $50.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (iii) is convertible into 1.67 shares of the company's common stock, subject to customary anti- dilution adjustments, and (iv) is redeemable at the option of the company under certain circumstances at $50.00 per share. In addition, shares of Series A Preferred Stock have priority as to dividends over holders of the company's common stock that rank junior with regard to dividends. If, on the date used to determine stockholders of record for a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, preferred stock dividends are in arrears in an amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends, the number of members of the Board of Directors will be increased by two as of the date of such stockholders' meeting and the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote for and elect such two additional directors. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui") owns $150 million of convertible preferred stock, consisting of 10 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 20 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. In January 1997, the company reached an agreement with Mitsui to redeem all of the $100 million Series C Preferred Stock on March 27, 1997 and all of the $50 million Series B Preferred Stock on June 26, 1997 at stated value plus accrued dividends. Accordingly, at December 31, 1996, the company classified such preferred stock as redeemable preferred stock in the consolidated balance sheet. Each outstanding share of common stock has attached to it one preferred share purchase right. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase for $75, under certain circumstances, one three-hundredth of a share of Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $1 per share. The rights become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the company's common stock, or announces a tender or exchange offer for 30% or more of the common stock. If the company is acquired (or survives in a reverse merger transaction) or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earnings power are sold, each right will entitle its holder to purchase a number of the acquiring company's common shares (or the company's common shares) having a market value of $150. The company will be entitled to redeem the rights at one and two-thirds cents per right prior to the earlier of the expiration of the rights, or the time that a 20% position has been acquired. Until the rights become exercisable, they have no dilutive effect on net income per common share. At December 31, 1996, 158.2 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were reserved for the following: 57.2 million for con- vertible preferred stock, 43.5 million for the 8 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2006, 33.7 million for the 8 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2000, and 23.8 million for stock options and stock purchase plans.

These financial statements are the responsibility of Unisys Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Unisys Corporation at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania January 22, 1997 Supplemental Financial Data (Unaudited) Unisys Corporation Quarterly financial information
