                                     PART I

Item 1.   Business

General

     The CIT Group Holdings,  Inc. (the "Corporation"),  a Delaware corporation,
is a successor to a company founded in St. Louis, Missouri on February 11, 1908.
It has its principal executive offices at 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New York,
New York 10036,  and its telephone  number is (212) 536-1950.  The  Corporation,
operating  directly or through its subsidiaries  primarily in the United States,
engages in  financial  services  activities  through a  nationwide  distribution
network.  The  Corporation  provides  financing  primarily on a secured basis to
commercial  borrowers,  ranging from  middle-market to larger  companies.  While
these  secured  lending  activities  reduce  the risk of losses  from  extending
credit,  the  Corporation's  results of operations can also be affected by other
factors,  including general economic  conditions,  competitive  conditions,  the
level and  volatility  of interest  rates,  concentrations  of credit risk,  and
government  regulation and  supervision.  The  Corporation  does not finance the
development or construction of commercial real estate. The Corporation has eight
strategic business units, seven of which offer corporate  financing,  dealer and
manufacturer  financing,  and factoring products and services to clients, and an
eighth strategic business unit which commenced operations in the last quarter of
1992 offering consumer second mortgage  financing and which is planning to offer
home equity  lines of credit to  consumers in early 1994.  The  Corporation  had
2,424  employees at December 31, 1993,  up from 2,355  employees at December 31,
1992.

     Effective at year-end  1989,  The Dai-Ichi  Kangyo  Bank,  Limited  ("DKB")
purchased  sixty  percent (60%) of the issued and  outstanding  shares of common
stock of the Corporation from Manufacturers  Hanover  Corporation  ("MHC").  MHC
retained  a forty  percent  (40%)  common  stock  interest  in the  Corporation.
Effective  March 29, 1990, MHC  transferred its forty percent (40%) common stock
interest in the  Corporation  to MHC Holdings  (Delaware)  Inc., a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of MHC ("MHC  Holdings").  On December  31,  1991,  MHC and Chemical
Banking  Corporation  merged  in  a  stock-for-stock   transaction.  The  merged
corporation is called Chemical Banking Corporation  ("CBC"). CBC retains a forty
percent (40%) common stock interest in the Corporation through MHC Holdings.

     In accordance with a stockholders agreement among DKB, CBC, as successor to
MHC, and the Corporation (the "Stockholders Agreement"), the Corporation amended
its  Certificate  of  Incorporation  and its  By-Laws in  conformity  therewith.
Pursuant to the  Stockholders  Agreement,  immediately  after MHC sold the sixty
percent (60%) interest in the Corporation to DKB, the stockholders elected a new
Board of Directors  comprised of the President and Chief  Executive  Officer and
the Vice Chairman of the  Corporation,  six nominees  designated by DKB, and two
nominees designated by MHC. The Stockholders  Agreement also contains provisions
for  the  management  of  the  Corporation,   majority  voting  by  DKB  on  the
Corporation's Executive Committee, consent of MHC Holdings with respect to major
corporate and business changes, and restrictions with respect to the transfer of
the stock of the Corporation to third parties.

BUSINESS AND SERVICES

Corporate Finance Group

     The Corporation's  Corporate Finance Group is comprised of Business Credit,
Capital Equipment Financing and Credit Finance.

     The CIT  Group/Business  Credit offers  revolving and term loans secured by
accounts  receivable,  inventories  and fixed assets to medium and  larger-sized
companies.  Such  loans  are used by  clients  primarily  for  acquisitions  and
refinancings.  It also offers  specialty  financing  for companies in the paper,
printing and chemical industries and  debtor-in-possession and workout financing
for turnaround  situations.  The CIT Group/Business  Credit sells  participation
interests  in such  loans  to  other  lenders  and  will  occasionally  purchase
participation  interests in such loans originated by other lenders.  Business is
developed through direct calling efforts and through other sources originated by
individual new business development  officers.  The CIT Group/Business Credit is
headquartered in New York City, with sales offices in New York, Chicago, Dallas,
Los Angeles, and Atlanta.


                                       1
<PAGE>

     The CIT Group/Capital Equipment Financing specializes in customized secured
financing  and leasing of equipment  in larger  transactions,  including  single
investor leases and the debt and equity  portions of leveraged  leases for major
capital equipment such as aircraft, rail cars, maritime shipping, and containers
and  chassis,  for its  own  account  and for  syndications.  Such  business  is
developed  directly  with large  companies and through  third  parties.  The CIT
Group/Capital  Equipment  Financing also provides secured  financing and leasing
products to middle-market  and larger  companies  seeking medium and longer term
financings.  Such  transactions are developed through direct calling efforts and
financial intermediaries.  Financing products include direct secured loans, sale
and leaseback arrangements,  and project financings.  Two business groups within
The CIT  Group/Capital  Equipment  Financing  augment its marketing  efforts and
provide  services  relating to its areas of expertise.  The first group, The CIT
Group/Capital  Investments,  acts as an agent,  broker, and advisor in financing
and leasing  transactions.  The CIT  Group/Capital  Investments  is a registered
broker-dealer  and a member of the National  Association of Securities  Dealers,
Inc. The second group,  The CIT  Group/Asset  Management,  received  approval in
December  1992 from the Board of  Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System (the
"Federal  Reserve  Board") to provide  asset  management  services to  financial
institutions  and certain  non-financial  institutions  for equipment  financing
transactions  and  portfolios.  The CIT  Group/Capital  Equipment  Financing  is
headquartered  in New York City,  with sales offices in eight cities,  including
New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

     The CIT  Group/Credit  Finance offers revolving and term loans to small and
medium-sized  companies secured by accounts receivable,  inventories,  and fixed
assets.  Such loans are used by clients for working capital and in refinancings,
acquisitions,  and leveraged buyouts.  The CIT Group/Credit  Finance also offers
financing  for  reorganizations,  restructurings,  and  Chapter  11  situations.
Business is developed  through direct calling  efforts and through other sources
developed by individual new business development officers.  The CIT Group/Credit
Finance is  headquartered  in New York City,  with sales  offices in ten cities,
including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Dealer and Manufacturer Financing Group

     The Corporation's  Dealer and Manufacturer  Financing Group is comprised of
Industrial Financing, Sales Financing, and Consumer Finance.

     The CIT  Group/Industrial  Financing  offers  secured  equipment  financing
products,  including direct secured loans, leases, secured lines of credit, sale
and leaseback  arrangements,  vendor financing for manufacturers,  wholesale and
retail  financing  for  dealers/distributors,  acquisition  of chattel paper and
other  installment  receivables,  and  acquisition  of portfolios  originated by
others.  It has a nationwide  network of local  offices and  business  aircraft,
intermediary and national  accounts  financing  units. The CIT  Group/Industrial
Financing is  headquartered  in  Livingston,  New Jersey,  with sales offices in
twenty cities, including Berwyn, Pennsylvania,  Tempe, Arizona, Atlanta, Georgia
and Irving, Texas, which also serve as regional offices.

     The CIT Group/Sales  Financing,  working through dealers and manufacturers,
provides  retail  secured  financing on a  nationwide  basis for the purchase of
recreational  vehicles,  recreational  boats and manufactured  housing.  The CIT
Group/Sales  Financing  also  purchases  portfolios  of these assets from banks,
savings  and  loans,  investment  banks and others and  provides  servicing  for
portfolios owned by other financial  institutions and securitization trusts. The
CIT Group/Sales  Financing is  headquartered  in Livingston,  New Jersey with an
asset service  center in Oklahoma City,  Oklahoma,  and covers the United States
from sales offices in 13 cities (which are in the process of being  consolidated
into five  regional  sales  centers  located in Atlanta,  Boston,  Kansas  City,
Sacramento and Seattle).

     In December 1992, The CIT Group/Consumer  Finance, a newly formed strategic
business  unit,  began  offering  loans  secured  primarily by a first or second
mortgage on residential real estate.  The CIT  Group/Consumer  Finance generates
business  through  direct  marketing  efforts and, to a lesser  extent,  through
brokers.  It also acquires  "home equity"  portfolios  originated by others.  In
early 1994, The CIT Group/Consumer  Finance plans to introduce home equity lines
of credit  to  consumers.  This  strategic  business  unit is  headquartered  in
Livingston,  New Jersey with 35 sales  offices  serving 23 states,  two of which
originate mortgage loans for resale to third parties, in addition to originating
mortgage loans for the business unit's own portfolio.  Administrative support is
provided by the Sales  Financing  asset service center located in Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma.

Factoring

     The CIT Group/Commercial Services (formerly The CIT Group/Factoring) offers
a full range of  factoring  services  providing  for the  purchase  of  accounts
receivable, including credit protection, bookkeeping, and collection activities.
Financing is also provided in the form of revolving  and term loans,  and letter
of credit support.  The CIT  Group/Commercial  Services is  headquartered in New
York City, with sales offices in New York, Los Angeles,  Charlotte,  Atlanta and
Hong Kong.  Bookkeeping and collection functions are located in a service center
in Danville, Virginia.

     On  February  28,  1994,  the  Corporation   acquired  Barclays  Commercial
Corporation  ("BCC"),  a company of The Barclays Group.  BCC had total assets of
approximately  $700.0 million at December 31, 1993 and total factoring volume of
approximately  $5.00 billion for the year then ended.  The business and acquired
assets  of BCC were  transferred  to The CIT  Group/BCC,  Inc.,  a wholly  owned
subsidiary of The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the  Corporation.  BCC is engaged in the same  lines of  business  as The CIT
Group/Commercial  Services, with BCC adding a significant  geographical presence
in the Southeastern United States. BCC is headquartered in Charlotte,  with five
sales offices in Charlotte, New York, Dallas, Louisville and Los Angeles.

Equity Investments

     The CIT Group/Equity Investments provides capital to medium-sized companies
and  emerging  growth  companies  through the  purchase of private  issuances of
common stock, preferred stock, and subordinated debt. Capital is used by clients
to make  acquisitions  and to finance  growth.  Business  is  developed  through
referrals from the  Corporation's  other business units and from venture capital
and regional  investment  banking  firms.  In June 1992,  The CIT  Group/Venture
Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The CIT Group/Equity Investments, received
approval from the U.S.  Small Business  Administration  for a license as a small
business investment company.  The Cit Group/Equity  Investments is headquartered
in Livingston, New Jersey.

Multi-National Marketing

     Supplementing  the  Corporation's   marketing  efforts,  the  Corporation's
Multi-National  Marketing  Group  promotes  the  services  of the  Corporation's
various business units to the U.S.  subsidiaries of foreign corporations in need
of asset-based  financing.  Business is developed through referrals from DKB and
through direct calling efforts. The Multi-National Marketing Group is located in
the Corporation's offices in New York City.

INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION

     With the  exception  of the  airline  industry,  which  accounts  for $1.89
billion, or 14.2%, of total financing and leasing assets (before the reserve for
credit  losses) as of December 31, 1993,  the portfolio of the  Corporation  was
diversified  with no other  industry  group  accounting for more than 10% of the
Corporation's  financing and leasing assets. See Item 7. Management's Discussion
and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations,  "Industry
Composition" and "Financing and Leasing Assets Concentrations."

COMPETITION

     The business in which the Corporation engages is highly  competitive,  with
business  developed  primarily on the basis of interest  rates and service.  The
Corporation  is  subject  to  competition  from  many  financial   institutions,
including finance companies,  banks, leasing companies and investment banks. The
Corporation's Commercial Services unit is among the largest factoring operations
in the United States.

     The interest rates charged by the  Corporation  for the various  classes of
financing  and leasing  assets  vary  depending  upon the credit  quality of the
borrower,   the  costs  of  servicing,   the  income  tax  consequences  of  the
transaction,  the amount and maturity of the loan,  the cost of borrowing to the
Corporation,  and, to a lesser degree,  state usury laws and other  governmental
regulations,  when applicable.  The Corporation's  finance receivables have both
variable  rates and fixed  rates of  interest.  Variable  rate loans  reprice in
accordance  with various agreed upon indices,  usually a published  reference or
corporate base lending rate.

REGULATION

     Both DKB and CBC are bank holding  companies within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "Act"), and each is registered as such with the
Federal  Reserve  Board.  As a result,  the  Corporation  is  subject to certain
provisions of the Act. In general, the Act limits the activities in which a bank


                                       3
<PAGE>

holding company and its  subsidiaries may engage to those of banking or managing
or  controlling  banks or  performing  services  for their  subsidiaries  and to
continuing  activities  which the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be "so
closely  related to banking or managing or  controlling  banks as to be a proper
incident  thereto." The  Corporation's  current  principal  business  activities
constitute permissible activities for a subsidiary of a bank holding company.

     The operations of the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  are subject,  in
certain instances, to supervision and regulation by governmental authorities and
may be  subject  to  various  laws and  judicial  and  administrative  decisions
imposing various  requirements and  restrictions,  including among other things,
regulating credit granting  activities,  establishing maximum interest rates and
finance  charges,   regulating   customers'   insurance   coverages,   requiring
disclosures  to  customers,   governing   secured   transactions,   and  setting
collection,  repossession,  and  claims  handling  procedures  and  other  trade
practices.  In most states the consumer  sales finance and loan business and the
consumer second  mortgage and home equity line of credit  businesses are subject
to licensing or regulation.  In some states the industrial  finance  business is
subject to similar licensing or regulation.  The consumer second mortgage,  home
equity line of credit,  sales  finance,  and loan  businesses,  including  those
conducted by the Corporation,  are also subject to a number of Federal statutes,
including the Federal  Consumer Credit  Protection  Act, which  requires,  among
other things,  disclosure of the finance charge in terms of an annual percentage
rate, as well as the total dollar cost.

     In the judgment of management,  existing  statutes and regulations have not
had a materially adverse effect on the business conducted by the Corporation and
its subsidiaries.  However,  it is not possible to forecast the nature of future
legislation,  regulations,  judicial decisions, orders, or interpretations,  nor
their  impact  upon  the  future  business,   earnings,  or  otherwise,  of  the
Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Item 2.     Properties.

     The  operations  of the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  are  generally
conducted in leased office space located in numerous cities and towns throughout
the United  States.  Such leased  office  space is suitable and adequate for the
needs of the Corporation.  The Corporation  utilizes, or plans to utilize in the
foreseeable future,  substantially all of its leased office space. For a summary
of the Corporation's past rental expense and future minimum rentals, see Item 8.
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, "Note 10--Lease Commitments."

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings.

     Various claims and actions  against the  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries
arise  from time to time in the  normal  course of  business.  A number of these
actions,  some of which purport to be class actions,  are now pending.  While no
prediction  can be made as to the  ultimate  outcome of any  particular  action,
management  believes that meritorious  defenses are generally  available and the
aggregate  liability,  if any,  likely to result  therefrom  will not materially
affect the consolidated financial condition of the Corporation.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     On April 15, 1993,  DKB and MHC  Holdings,  by unanimous  written  consent,
elected  the  following  ten persons to the Board of  Directors,  to serve for a
period of one year or until the next annual meeting of shareholders:

Item 5.     Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
            Matters.

     The outstanding common stock of the Corporation is owned 60% by DKB and 40%
by MHC Holdings.  There is no public trading market for the Corporation's common
stock.

     DKB, MHC Holdings and the Corporation  operate under a policy requiring the
payment of dividends by the  Corporation  equal to and not  exceeding 50% of net
operating  earnings on a quarterly basis. Such dividends are paid to DKB and MHC
Holdings based upon their respective stock ownership in the Corporation.

     However,   on  December  28,  1992,  with  consent  of  the   Corporation's
stockholders,  the Corporation paid a one-time special dividend in the aggregate
amount of $150.0  million  to its  stockholders.  Each  stockholder  immediately
contributed an amount equal to its share of the one-time special dividend to the
Corporation as additional  paid-in-capital.  The Corporation intends to continue
to operate under the  fifty-percent  dividend  policy set forth in the preceding
paragraph. Below is a listing of the dividends paid during the past two years:

     Stockholders' equity at December 31, 1993 was $1.69 billion. Under the most
restrictive   provisions  of  agreements   relating  to  outstanding  debt,  the
Corporation  may not,  without the  consent of the holders of such debt,  permit
stockholders' equity to be less than $200.0 million.

Reserve for Credit Losses

     The reserve for credit losses is established and periodically  reviewed for
adequacy  based on the nature and  characteristics  of the  finance  receivables
portfolio, economic conditions and trends, charge-off experience,  delinquencies
and underlying  collateral and guarantees  (including  recourse  provisions with
dealers and  manufacturers).  It is management's  judgement that the reserve for
credit losses is adequate to provide for potential  credit  losses.  The finance
receivables  portfolio is reviewed  periodically to determine the probability of
loss on individual  receivables.  Charge-offs are taken after  considering  such
factors as the obligor's  financial  condition  and the value of the  underlying
collateral and guarantees.  Because the reserve for credit losses is intended to
provide  for future  events,  which by their  nature are  uncertain,  changes in
economic  conditions  or other  discrete  events  adversely  affecting  specific
obligors  or  industries  may  necessitate  additions  to the reserve for credit
losses.  The  following  table  sets  forth  information  as of the dates  shown
concerning the reserve for credit losses.

Nonaccrual Finance Receivables

     The Corporation has nonaccrual  finance  receivables on which it has ceased
to recognize interest income.  Except for certain Sales Financing accounts which
are subject to automatic charge-off procedures,  the accrual of interest revenue
is suspended and an account is placed on nonaccrual status either when a payment
is  contractually   delinquent  for  ninety  days  or  more  and  collateral  is
insufficient  to cover both the  outstanding  principal and accrued  interest or
immediately  if, in the opinion of management,  full collection of principal and
interest is doubtful.

     The following table sets forth information as of the dates shown concerning
the  carrying  value  of  nonaccrual  finance  receivables   outstanding.   This
information  should be read in conjunction  with the discussion of "Past Due and
Nonaccrual Finance  Receivables and Assets Received in Satisfaction of Loans" in

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

1993 vs. 1992

Highlights

      Net  income  for the year  ended  December  31,  1993 was a record  $182.3
million,  an increase of $20.0 million (12.3%) from the $162.3 million earned in
1992. The current year results  represent the third  consecutive  year of record
earnings  and are the highest  earnings  in the  Corporation's  eighty-six  year
history.  Excluding $4.2 million of after-tax  extraordinary  charges related to
the early  redemption of long-term  debt in 1992 (none of which were incurred in
1993), net income increased $15.8 million (9.5%) in 1993.

      The gain in 1993 earnings reflects strong receivables growth, improved fee
income,  and higher gains on asset sales,  partially offset by the effect of the
1% increase in the statutory Federal  corporate income tax rate,  start-up costs
of the new Consumer  Finance  home equity loan  operation  and normal  operating
expense increases.  Profitability was broad-based,  validating the Corporation's
strategy to continue expanding its operations into new markets and products that
complement existing lines of business.

      Total financing and leasing assets,  which include finance receivables and
equipment  under operating  lease,  were a record $13.38 billion at December 31,
1993, a $1.14 billion  (9.3%)  increase,  compared to $12.23 billion at December
31,  1992.  This growth is  primarily  due to  excellent  new  business  volume,
particularly  with  middle  market  companies,   complemented  by  purchases  of
portfolios of financing and leasing assets. Average financing and leasing assets
("AEA")  were  $12.26  billion  for 1993,  an $861.2  million  (7.6%)  increase,
compared to $11.40 billion for 1992.

Net Interest Revenue

      Net interest revenue  (interest and fees earned less interest expense) was
$673.9 million in 1993, up $51.1 million (8.2%) from $622.8 million in 1992. Net
interest  revenue,  as a percentage of AEA, improved to 5.50% in 1993 from 5.46%
in 1992.

      Interest  and fees  earned  in 1993  totaled  $1.18  billion,  essentially
unchanged  from $1.17 billion  earned in 1992 as interest rates charged on fixed
and  floating  rate  receivables  trended down in 1993,  in line with  declining
market interest rates.  However, such decreased interest revenues were more than
offset by revenues generated from the incremental growth in AEA and improved fee
income.

      Interest expense decreased $44.0 million (8.0%) to $508.0 million in 1993,
compared with $552.0 million in 1992. The decrease  reflects lower funding costs
due  to the  aforementioned  decline  in  market  interest  rates  during  1993,
partially offset by the cost of funding the incremental growth in AEA.

      A comparative  analysis of the weighted average interest rates paid on the
Corporation's  debt,  after the effect of interest  rate swaps,  is shown in the
following table.

                                                 Years Ended December 31,
                                                 ------------------------
                                                    1993         1992
                                                    ----         ----
     Floating rate debt ...................         3.36%        4.12%
     Fixed rate debt ......................         7.37%        7.66%
     Composite interest rate ..............         4.85%        5.66%

      Based upon the assumption  that moderate  economic growth will continue in
1994, management  anticipates that net interest revenue, as a percentage of AEA,
will  remain  relatively  stable in 1994.  However,  net  interest  revenue as a
percentage  of  AEA  will  continue  to be  affected  by  market  interest  rate
movements, the level of fee-based business, the amount of non-performing assets,
and the state of the economy.

Gains on Asset Sales

      Gains on asset  sales  totaled  $23.9  million  in 1993,  a $10.1  million
(72.5%)  increase  compared to $13.9  million in 1992.  The  current  year gains
included $15.3 million from a securitization of manufactured housing receivables
($6.6  million in 1992) and $8.6 million  from the sale of equipment  coming off
lease ($7.3 million in 1992).

Operating Expenses Before the Provision for Credit Losses

      Operating  expenses  before the provision for credit losses totaled $282.2
million in 1993, a $20.5 million (7.9%) increase,  compared to $261.6 million in
1992.  The increase is  primarily  attributable  to start-up  costs for Consumer
Finance,  which  amounted  to $14.2  million in 1993.  As a  percentage  of AEA,
operating  expenses  were  unchanged  from  1992 at  2.30%.  However,  excluding
Consumer Finance, operating expenses as a percentage of AEA declined to 2.20% in
1993  compared  with  2.28% in 1992,  reflecting  the  Corporation's  continuing
commitment  to prudent  expense  control  and the  capability  to  leverage  the
existing expense structure to support further growth in earning assets.

      Salaries and employee benefits were $152.1 million for 1993, $14.2 million
(10.3%) above the $137.9 million  reported in 1992. The rise is principally  due
to staffing Consumer Finance and improvements to employee incentive compensation
and benefit  plans.  Postretirement  benefits  expense also increased due to the
adoption,  in 1993,  of  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 106,
"Employer's  Accounting  for  Post-retirement  Benefits  Other  Than  Pensions".
Employee  headcount  was 2,424 at December  31,  1993  versus  2,355 a year ago.
However,  excluding personnel hired for Consumer Finance,  headcount declined by
more than 25 since  year-end 1992 in spite of the excellent  growth in financing
and leasing assets.

      Other  operating  expenses  were $130.0  million in 1993,  up $6.3 million
(5.1%),  compared to $123.7 million in 1992, due to additional  advertising  and
marketing expenses, particularly in Consumer Finance.

      The  Corporation  manages  expenditures  using a  comprehensive  budgetary
process.  Expenses are monitored  closely by operating  unit  management and are
reviewed monthly with senior  management of the  Corporation.  To ensure overall
project cost control,  a review and approval procedure is in place for all major
capital  expenditures,  such as  purchases  of computer  equipment,  including a
post-implementation analysis of the realization of projected benefits.

Income Taxes

      The  provision  for  Federal and state and local  income  taxes was $128.5
million in 1993, up $23.2 million  (22.0%),  compared to $105.3 million in 1992.
The  effective  income  tax rate was  41.3%,  compared  to 38.7% in 1992.  These
increases  reflect  additional  provisions  to  the  Corporation's  current  and
deferred taxes, including deferred taxes on leasing transactions,  to record the
impact of the 1% increase in the  statutory  Federal  corporate  income tax rate
provided for in the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993.

Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses

      A recovery  in  certain  sectors of the  economy  contributed  to a modest
decrease of $3.9 million (3.9%) in net  charge-offs  for 1993 and an improvement
in the percentage of net charge-offs to average  finance  receivables to .77% in
1993, compared with .84% in 1992. Information concerning net charge-offs and the
provision for credit losses is summarized in the following table.

                                              Years ended December 31,

                                               ========      ========

      The  reserve  for  credit  losses  was  $169.4  million  (1.34% of finance
receivables) at December 31, 1993 compared to $158.5 million (1.35%) at year-end
1992.  The  reserve  for credit  losses is  maintained  at an amount  considered
adequate by management to provide for potential credit losses, based on periodic
evaluation  of the  overall  risk  characteristics  of the  finance  receivables
portfolio.  In  evaluating  the  adequacy  of the  reserve  for  credit  losses,
management  considers  such  factors as the nature  and  characteristics  of the
finance  receivables,  economic  conditions and trends,  charge-off  experience,
delinquencies,  and underlying  collateral and  guarantees  (including  recourse
provisions with dealers and manufacturers).

Finance Receivables

      Finance  receivables were $12.62 billion at December 31, 1993, an increase
of $852.6  million  (7.2%) from  $11.77  billion at  year-end  1992.  Changes in
finance   receivables   during  1993  are  discussed   below  for  each  of  the
Corporation's operating units.

     o Capital Equipment  Financing--Customized  secured equipment financing and
leasing for major capital equipment.  Finance  receivables were $4.39 billion at
December  31,  1993  compared  with $4.43  billion in 1992,  a decrease of $34.6
million (0.8%).  The small decrease is due to weakness in certain sectors of the
market for equipment  financing with larger corporations and the repossession of
approximately  $85 million of finance  receivables  (principally,  oil  refinery
assets  totaling $66.0 million that were  subsequently  placed on lease and were
included in equipment under operating lease at December 1993).

     o Business Credit--Revolving and term loans, including debtor-in-possession
and workout financing,  to medium and larger-sized companies secured by accounts
receivable,  inventory and fixed assets. Finance receivables of $1.28 billion at
December 31, 1993 were basically  unchanged from 1992 reflecting  $451.1 million
in new business volume which was mostly offset by customer paydowns.

      o Credit Finance--Revolving and term loans, including  restructurings,  to
small and medium-sized  companies secured by accounts receivable,  inventory and
fixed assets.  Finance receivables  increased $100.6 million during 1993, ending
the year at $645.6  million  compared  with $545.0  million the prior year.  The
18.5% growth was largely due to new business  volume with various  middle market
manufacturing companies.


                                       13
<PAGE>

      o  Industrial  Financing--Secured  equipment  financing  and  leasing  for
medium-sized  companies,  including dealer and manufacturer  financing.  Finance
receivables  grew $786.9 million  (25.4%) to $3.88 billion in 1993 compared with
$3.09  billion  in 1992,  as  strong  volume  with  middle  market  clients  was
complemented  by purchases of financing  and leasing asset  portfolios  totaling
approximately $320 million in 1993.

      o Sales  Financing--Retail  secured  financing of  recreational  vehicles,
recreational boats, and manufactured  housing through dealers and manufacturers.
Finance  receivables  were $1.44  billion in 1993,  compared to $1.41 billion in
1992, a $27.1  million  (1.9%)  increase.  Included at year-end 1993 were $131.3
million of new Consumer Finance receivables.  The overall increase is the result
of the growth in Consumer  Finance  and  excellent  volume in Sales  Financing's
established markets of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing, partially
offset by a $155 million  securitization of manufactured  housing receivables in
the third  quarter of 1993 and a $150  million  securitization  of  recreational
vehicle  receivables  in January 1994.  The latter were held for sale and, thus,
reclassified  from  finance  receivables  to other  assets  in the  Consolidated
Balance Sheet at December 31, 1993. Additionally,  Sales Financing was providing
servicing  for   portfolios,   owned  by  other   financial   institutions   and
securitization  trusts with total outstandings of $415.0 million at December 31,
1993 ($338.0 million in 1992) which were not included in finance receivables.

      o Commercial Services--Factoring of accounts receivables, including credit
protection,   bookkeeping  and  collection   activities.   Finance   receivables
experienced  a modest  decline of $28.3 million  (2.8%) during 1993,  ending the
year at $981.9  million,  compared to $1.01 billion at year-end 1992.  Factoring
volume for 1993 rose to $7.67 billion (up 3.9%) from $7.38 billion in 1992.

Finance Receivables Composition

      The finance  receivables  portfolio is  principally  composed of loans and
direct  financing  and  leveraged  leases  with  commercial   customers  located
throughout the United States.

      Considering  current  economic  forecasts and depending upon the amount of
growth in Consumer Finance home equity loans, management expects no major shifts
in geographic composition or industry composition of the portfolio in 1994.

Geographic Composition

      The following table presents the finance receivables portfolio by customer
location, excluding equipment under operating lease:

(a)  The construction  portfolio included approximately 5,800 general contractor
     and equipment  dealer obligors at December 31, 1993.  Approximately  31% of
     the  portfolio  at year-end  1993 was located in the western  region of the
     United States, with the remaining balance widely dispersed throughout other
     regions of the country.

(b)  Transportation  included rail, bus,  over-the-road  trucking,  and business
     aircraft industries and consisted of approximately 730 obligors at December
     31, 1993. The portfolio was widely dispersed throughout the United States.

(c)  At December 31, 1993, the shipping industry  portfolio was widely dispersed
     and  included  56 obligors  financing  cruise and  freight-carrying  ships,
     intermodal equipment, barges, tugboats, containers and chassis.

Equipment Under Operating Lease

     Capital  Equipment  Financing  and  Industrial  Financing  enter into lease
transactions  (with  estimated  residual  value in excess of 20% of the original
purchase  price) which are  accounted  for as operating  leases.  In addition to
rentals  under  the  current  lease,   other   components  of  operating   lease
profitablity  include  re-leasing rentals and expected proceeds from remarketing
the assets.  In  accordance  with the policy of reviewing  and adjusting the net

carrying values of lease  residuals to projected fair market values,  management
or outside  consultants  periodically  perform appraisals of the equipment under
operating lease. Based upon such periodic appraisals,  the aggregate fair values
of equipment under operating lease exceeded carrying value at December 31, 1993.

      Capital Equipment Financing equipment under operating lease totaled $565.7
million in 1993 compared to $384.3 million in 1992.  The $181.4 million  (47.2%)
increase is due to leasing  two  commercial  aircraft  and the return to earning
status,  in  December  1993,  of certain  oil  refinery  assets  which are being
utilized  by a major  international  oil  company  under a  long-term  operating
agreement.  Such oil refinery  assets were  classified  as a nonaccrual  loan at
year-end  1992 and were  repossessed,  together  with other  lenders,  through a
foreclosure in May 1993.

      Industrial  Financing  equipment under operating lease grew $107.7 million
(137.3%)  in 1993 to $186.2  million,  from $78.5  million  in 1992.  The growth
resulted  from the  leasing of  business  aircraft  and  over-the-road  trucking
equipment to several industry groups.

Financing and Leasing Assets Concentrations

Commercial Airlines

      Commercial  airline  finance  receivables  of $1.44  billion and equipment
under  operating  lease of $457.6 million  totaled $1.89 billion (14.2% of total
financing and leasing  assets before the reserve for credit  losses) at December
31, 1993 compared to $1.95 billion  (16.0%) in 1992. The portfolio is secured by
commercial  aircraft  and related  equipment.  Management  continues  to monitor
closely the growth in this  portfolio  relative to total  financing  and leasing
assets.

      The following  table presents  information  about the  commercial  airline
industry portfolio.

(b)  Certain   obligors  have  both  finance   receivable  and  operating  lease
     transactions.

(c)  Regulations  established by the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA")
     limit  the  maximum  permitted  noise an  aircraft  may  make.  A Stage III
     aircraft meets a more restrictive  noise level  requirement than a Stage II
     aircraft.  The FAA has  issued  rules  which  phase out the use of Stage II
     aircraft  in the United  States  through the year 2000.  The  International
     Civil Aviation  Organization has issued similar requirements for Europe. At
     year-end 1993, the portfolio  consisted of 214 Stage III aircraft (78%) and
     62 Stage II aircraft (22%) versus 231 Stage III aircraft (80%) and 73 Stage
     II aircraft (20%) at year-end 1992.

(a)  Includes  accrued  rents on  operating  leases  of $0.3  million  and $ 0.5
     million at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992 respectively.

(b)  Certain   obligors  have  both  finance   receivable  and  operating  lease
     transactions.

      The declines from year-end 1992 reflected in the table above are primarily
the result of the  emergence  of  Continental  Airlines,  Inc.  and Trans  World
Airlines,  Inc. from Chapter 11 bankruptcy  proceedings during 1993. In February
1993, the Corporation took title to a Boeing 757-200 from America West which was
re-leased  to  another  airline  in July 1993 after  completion  of  maintenance
inspections required under FAA regulations.  At December 31, 1993, America West,
the remaining airline under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, was current on all
remaining contractual obligations owed to the Corporation.

Foreign Outstandings

      Financing  and  leasing  assets  to  foreign  obligors,  primarily  to the
commercial  airline  industry,  totaled  $1.05  billion at  December  31,  1993,
consisting  of $846.6  million in  finance  receivables  and  $204.5  million in
equipment under operating lease. The largest exposures at December 31, 1993 were
to Mexico, $167.4 million (1.22% of total assets) and the United Kingdom, $128.0
million (.93% of total assets). The remaining foreign exposure is well disbursed
with no individual country representing more than .75% of total assets.

      At December 31, 1992,  financing  and leasing  assets to foreign  obligors
totaled $951.2 million,  consisting of $810.6 million in finance receivables and
$140.6 million in equipment under operating  lease.  Outstandings to obligors in
the United Kingdom totaled $135.7 million,  representing  1.04% of total assets.
No other foreign  obligor had  aggregate  outstandings  exceeding  .86% of total
assets. 


Highly Leveraged Transactions

      Certain   regulatory   agencies   require  that  a  buyout   financing  or
recapitalization  be reported as a highly  leveraged  transaction  ("HLT") if it
meets or exceeds $20  million in  original  financing  and  fulfills  one of the
following criteria:

      o The transaction at least doubles the borrower's  liabilities and results
        in a leverage ratio (as defined) higher than 50%.

      o The transaction results in a leverage ratio higher than 75%.

      o The transaction is designated as an HLT by a syndication agent.

      A  transaction,  originally  reported as an HLT,  can be removed from this
classification  ("delisted")  if the  leveraged  company  has  demonstrated  the
ability to operate  successfully as a highly  leveraged  entity for at least two
years after the original financing and meets one of the following criteria:

      o The original  financing has been repaid using cash flow from operations,
        planned asset sales, or a capital infusion.

      o The debt has been  serviced  without undue  reliance on unplanned  asset
        sales,  and certain  leverage ratios  (related to the original  criteria
        under which the financing qualified as an HLT) have been maintained.

      The  Corporation,   primarily  through  Business  Credit,  originates  and
participates in HLTs which totaled $476.6 million (3.6% of financing and leasing
assets  before the reserve for credit  losses) at December 31,  1993,  down from
$493.7  million  (4.0%) at December  31, 1992.  The decline in HLT  outstandings
during 1993 was primarily due to delisting  companies,  with  approximately $138
million of finance  receivables  owed to the  Corporation at year-end 1992, that
met the aforementioned delisting criteria, partially offset by new fundings that
met the HLT criteria.  The  Corporation's HLT outstandings are generally secured
by collateral,  as distinguished from HLTs that rely primarily on cash flow from
operations.

      At December 31,  1993,  the HLT  portfolio  consisted of 28 obligors in 13
different industry groups, with approximately 31.9% of the outstandings  located
in the Northeast  region of the United States and 30.5% in the Southeast.  Three
accounts  totaling  $34.7 million were  classified as nonaccrual at December 31,
1993  compared  to $14.8  million  (two  accounts)  at year-end  1992.  Unfunded
commitments  to lend in secured HLT  situations  were $123.1 million at December
31, 1993 compared to $78.4 million at year-end 1992.

Credit Risk Management

      Financing and leasing assets are monitored for credit and collateral  risk
both during the credit granting process and  periodically  after the advancement
of funds.  Each business unit is responsible  for developing and  implementing a
formal credit  management  process in accordance with formal uniform  guidelines
established  by  the  Executive  Credit  Committee  of  the  Corporation.  These
guidelines set forth risk  acceptance  criteria for: (1) selected target markets
and products;  (2) the creditworthiness of borrowers,  including credit history,
financial  condition,  adequacy of cash flow and quality of management;  and (3)
the type and value of underlying  collateral and guarantees  (including recourse
provisions  with dealers and  manufacturers).  The  financing  and leasing asset
portfolio is diversified by industry,  geographic location, and collateral type.
As economic and market conditions change,  credit risk management  practices are
reviewed and modified, if necessary, to minimize the risk of credit loss.

      Periodically, financing and leasing assets are evaluated based upon credit
criteria developed under the Corporation's uniform credit grading system and the
use of a comprehensive exposure reporting system that analyzes the financing and
leasing assets portfolio by obligor, and by industry,  geographic location,  and
collateral  type.  Concentrations  are  monitored  and  limits  are  changed  by
management as conditions warrant to minimize the risk of credit loss.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables
and Assets Received in Satisfaction of Loans

      Finance  receivables  past due 60 days or more declined to $216.1  million
(1.71% of finance  receivables before the reserve for credit losses) at December
31, 1993,  from $335.8 million (2.85%) at December 31, 1992.  Excluding  finance
receivables in Industrial  Financing that have dealer or  manufacturer  recourse
provisions,  the percentage of past due receivables 60 days or more was 1.47% at
year-end 1993 compared to 2.57% at year-end 1992.

      Finance  receivables  on  nonaccrual  status  included in past due finance
receivables  declined to $139.9 million (1.11% of finance receivables before the
reserve for credit losses) at December 31, 1993,  from $234.2 million (1.99%) at
December  31, 1992 due  principally  to the return to earning  status of the oil
refinery assets  discussed in the Equipment  Under  Operating Lease section.  At
year-end  1993,  nonaccrual  finance  receivables  were  principally  related to
manufacturing companies, including a manufacturer placed on nonaccrual status in
1992.  Collection  efforts  regarding  this borrower are ongoing;  however,  the
outlook for this loan remains uncertain at this time.

      Assets  received in  satisfaction  of loans  decreased  by $6.8 million in
1993,  principally  due to the sale of business  aircraft  and retail  equipment
partially  offset  by  the  in-substance  foreclosure  in  December  1993  of  a
commercial  aircraft which the Corporation took legal title to in February 1994.
A  nonrefundable  deposit has been received in connection  with  remarketing the
aforementioned commercial aircraft to another airline.

(a)  Retail merchandise, property and accounts receivable includes the assets of
     a bankrupt building supply retailer.

(b)  Other transportation includes business aircraft, trailers, and recreational
     vehicles.

      The  economic  recovery  contributed  to  the  decline  in  past  due  and
nonaccrual  finance  receivables and assets received in satisfaction of loans in
1993.  If the economy  continues to  strengthen,  management  believes that some
modest  further  improvement  may occur in the levels of either past due finance
receivables,  nonaccrual finance receivables, or assets received in satisfaction
of loans, from the improved year-end 1993 levels.

Asset/Liability Management

      Management  strives  to  optimize  net  interest  revenue  while  managing
interest rate and liquidity risk under formal policies established and monitored
by the Capital  Committee,  which is comprised of members of senior  management.
The Capital Committee  establishes and regularly  reviews interest  sensitivity,
funding,  liquidity,  and  asset-pricing  guidelines,  along with  other  market
interest rate risk management strategies.

Interest Rate Risk

      Fluctuations  in market  interest  rates can affect net  interest  revenue
through changes in the spread between interest rates charged on interest-earning
assets and interest rates paid on interest-bearing  liabilities. As the level of
market  interest  rates and the  relationship  between  short-term and long-term
market  interest  rates  change,  there is exposure to  potential  increases  or
decreases in net interest revenue.

      The degree of interest  rate  sensitivity  is  continuously  monitored  by
measuring  the  repricing   characteristics  of  interest-sensitive  assets  and
liabilities.    These   characteristics    include   the   dollar   amounts   of
interest-sensitive  assets and liabilities,  the contractual  interest rate, the
prime rate or other repricing  index, the maturity,  and estimated  prepayments.
The potential effect of market interest rate  fluctuations is simulated  through
computer  modeling,  incorporating  not only the current degree of interest rate
sensitivity,   but  also  the  effects  of  various   repricing   scenarios  for
interest-sensitive  assets  and  liabilities.  The  Capital  Committee  actively
manages the interest rate  sensitivity by changing the relationship of fixed and
floating rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps and caps.

      The  notional  principal  amount of  interest  rate swap  transactions  at
December 31, 1993 totaled $3.69 billion and were principally used to convert the
effective  interest rate on floating  rate debt to a fixed  interest  rate.  The
Corporation  also  purchased  interest  rate caps with an  outstanding  notional
principal  amount of $1.45  billion at December  31, 1993 to hedge the  interest
rate on commercial  paper borrowings of a like amount.  Of these,  $1.15 billion
was purchased in  conjunction  with the sale of an equal amount of caps to hedge
the net  interest  margin  on a  comparable  amount  of  floating  rate  finance
receivables,  which reprice based on the prime rate and are funded by commercial
paper, from short-term market interest rate fluctuations.

Liquidity Risk

      The Capital  Committee  manages  liquidity  through the monitoring of: (1)
expected principal repayments of the existing finance receivables portfolio, (2)
the expected  generation of cash flow from  operations and, (3) the borrowing of
funds,  primarily in the United States money and capital  markets.  Such cash is
used to fund asset growth  (including the bulk purchase of  receivables  and the
acquisition of other  finance-related  businesses) and to meet debt  obligations
and other commitments on a timely and  cost-effective  basis. The primary source


                                       19
<PAGE>

of funding is commercial paper borrowings,  augmented by proceeds from the sales
of medium-term notes and other debt securities. The Corporation also enters into
structured  financings  (involving the issuance of debt coupled with an interest
rate swap of  corresponding  maturity)  which not only  improve  liquidity,  but
result in a lower  overall  funding  cost than could be achieved by issuing debt
alone. For example, a medium-term  variable rate note is issued and coupled with
a swap exchanging floating rate interest for a fixed rate creating, in effect, a
lower cost medium-term  fixed rate obligation.  The liquidity  position was also
enhanced by issuing commercial paper with an average maturity of 91 days in 1993
and 89 days in 1992.

      Commercial paper outstanding  increased $342.7 million to $6.52 billion at
December  31, 1993,  representing  60.4% of total debt  outstanding  at year-end
1993,  due  principally  to funding the growth in financing and leasing  assets,
offset by a decrease in  short-term  interest-bearing  deposits  maintained  for
liquidity purposes.  Term debt with maturities ranging from one to fifteen years
was $4.28  billion  (39.6% of total debt  outstanding)  at December 31, 1993, of
which $1.69 billion (15.6% of total debt outstanding) was variable rate notes.

      Commercial  paper  borrowings  are  supported  by a variety of bank credit
facilities.  At December 31,  1993,  credit  lines with 84 banks  totaled  $4.49
billion and support the current  commercial  paper position as well as growth in
the foreseeable  future.  In 1993, $1.52 billion of new facilities were arranged
with  domestic and foreign  banks,  principally  through a three-year  revolving
credit  agreement.  As a result,  credit  line  coverage  increased  to 68.9% of
operating  commercial  paper  outstanding  (commercial  paper  outstanding  less
interest-bearing  deposits)  at  year-end  1993,  up  from  64.2%  in  1992.  No
borrowings have been made under credit lines since 1970.

*    For purposes of managing capital resources, management considers short-term
     interest-bearing  deposits to be, in  substance,  a reduction of short-term
     debt.  There were no short-term  interest-bearing  deposits at December 31,
     1993.

      Dividend policy  requires the payment of quarterly  dividends equal to and
not exceeding 50% of net operating earnings. During 1993, regular cash dividends
of $91.2  million  were paid to DKB and MHC Holdings (a  subsidiary  of Chemical
Banking Corporation) based upon their respective 60% and 40% stock ownership. At
year-end  1992, a one-time  special  dividend of $150.0  million was paid to the
stockholders.  Immediately  thereafter,  DKB and MHC Holdings contributed $150.0
million to additional  paid-in capital of the Corporation in proportion to their
respective ownership interests.

      In 1993, a shelf registration statement to offer publicly $3.00 billion in
medium-term  notes and other debt  securities  was filed with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission.  During the year, $1.55 billion of variable rate notes and
$635.0  million of fixed rate notes were issued with  individual  terms  ranging
from one to fifteen  years.  Repayments  of term debt during 1993 totaled  $2.06
billion.  At December 31, 1993,  $2.87 billion of  registered  but unissued debt
securities remained available under shelf registration statements.

      The  Corporation's  commercial  paper,  publicly  issued variable rate and
fixed rate senior debt, and senior  subordinated  long-term notes and debentures
are rated by Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Corporation and Duff &
Phelps Credit Rating Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan

      Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 114,  "Accounting  by
Creditors for  Impairment  of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"),  was issued by the Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board in May 1993. SFAS 114 requires that the value of an
impaired loan be measured based upon:  (1) the present value of expected  future
cash flows  discounted at the loan's  effective  interest  rate; or (2) the fair
value of the collateral  less estimated costs to sell, if the loan is collateral
dependent.  SFAS 114 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December 15,
1994.In  general,  the  Corporation's  loans are collateral  dependent and, when
impaired,  are  usually  carried at the lower of book value or the fair value of
the collateral.  Although management has not completed  evaluating the effect of
implementing  SFAS 114,  at this  time,  it does not  expect  the  effect on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations to be significant.

Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

      In May 1993, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity  Securities"  ("SFAS 115"),  which is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after December 15, 1993.  SFAS 115 supersedes  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 12, "Accounting for Certain Marketable  Securities" and
addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that
have  readily   determinable  fair  values  and  for  all  investments  in  debt
securities.  At December 31, 1993, an insignificant  amount of the Corporation's
assets would be subject to the  provisions  of SFAS 115,  therefore,  management
believes  that SFAS 115 will not have a significant  impact on the  consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

1992 vs. 1991

Net Income

      Net  income  for the year  ended  December  31,  1992 was a record  $162.3
million, an increase of $12.2 million (8.1%) from the $150.1 million reported in
1991.  Excluding  $4.2 million of  after-tax  extraordinary  charges  related to
redeeming  long-term debt in 1992 ($1.3 million in 1991),  net income  increased
10.0% to  $166.5  million  compared  to $151.5  million  in 1991.  Factors  that
contributed to the improvement in earnings  included an increase in net interest
revenue and higher  fees and other  non-interest  sources of revenue,  partially
offset by moderate  increases in the  provision  for credit losses and operating
expenses.

Net Interest Revenue

      Net  interest  revenue for 1992 was $622.8  million,  an increase of $53.5
million (9.4%) compared to $569.2 million in 1991.  Factors  contributing to the
improvements  in net  interest  revenue and net  interest  margin  included  the
following:

      o In 1992,  amid a lower  interest  rate  environment,  the  Corporation's
borrowing  costs  declined  more than the yields on its  financing  and  leasing
assets due to effective  pricing of new  business.  As a percentage  of AEA, net
interest revenue was 5.46% for 1992 compared to 5.14% for 1991.

      o AEA increased to $11.40 billion in 1992 versus $11.06 billion in 1991.

      o The full year  effect of Credit  Finance,  acquired  in  February  1991,
increased net interest revenue.

      o Fees, commissions and other non-interest sources of revenue increased in
1992 compared to 1991 reflecting a greater amount of fee-based  transactions and
establishing fees for a wider range of services.

      o The interest rate repricing  characteristics  of assets and  liabilities
were closely  monitored to prudently  benefit from the decline in interest rates
during 1992.

      Interest  and fees earned in 1992  totaled  $1.17  billion,  a decrease of
$103.8 million (8.1%) from $1.28 billion earned in 1991. The decline in revenues
was mainly due to lower yields on AEA,  which fell to 10.13% in 1992 from 11.20%
in 1991. Yields on fixed and floating rate receivables were negatively  impacted
by declining  interest rates in 1992,  which led to higher than normal  customer
paydowns  as  borrowers  refinanced  existing  higher-yielding  loans at  market


                                       21
<PAGE>

interest rates. Additionally,  the average level of nonperforming assets rose in
1992,  resulting  in a higher  level of foregone  interest  revenue.  Nonaccrual
finance  receivables  were  $234.2  million at December  31, 1992 versus  $190.7
million at year-end 1991.

      Interest  expense  for 1992  decreased  $157.4  million  (22.2%) to $552.0
million from $709.4  million in 1991.  The decrease  reflects  $178.2 million in
lower funding  costs of earning  assets and $19.9 million of lower funding costs
related  to   interest-bearing   deposits  maintained  for  liquidity  purposes,
partially  offset by an  increase  of $40.7  million  for  funding the growth in
average earning assets.

     A comparative  analysis of the weighted  average interest rates paid on the
Corporation's  debt,  after the effect of interest  rate swaps,  is shown in the
accompanying table.

                                                 Year Ended December 31,

     Composite interest rate ..............         5.66%        7.31%

Gains on Asset Sales

      Gains on asset  sales in 1992  totaled  $13.9  million,  down  from  $25.6
million in 1991. The 1992 gains included $7.3 million from the sale of equipment
coming off lease ($11.8 million in 1991) and $6.6 million from a  securitization
of manufactured housing receivables.  The 1991 gains included $13.8 million from
the sale of assets received in satisfaction of loans.

Operating Expenses before Provision for Credit Losses

      Operating expenses, before the provision for credit losses, totaled $261.6
million in 1992, an increase of $15.3 million (6.2%), compared to $246.3 million
in 1991.  The 1992  amount  included  the full year  effect  of Credit  Finance,
acquired in February 1991. As a percentage of AEA, such operating  expenses were
2.30% in 1992 versus 2.23% in 1991.

      Salaries and employee benefits for 1992 were $137.9 million, $10.9 million
(8.5%) above the $127.1 million reported in 1991,  mainly due to higher salaries
and incentive  compensation.  Employee  headcount was 2,355 at December 31, 1992
versus  2,346  in  1991.  Excluding  personnel  for  the  new  Consumer  Finance
operation, headcount declined by more than 20 since year-end 1991.

      Other operating  expenses in 1992 totaled $123.7  million,  an increase of
$4.4 million  (3.7%),  compared to $119.3  million in 1991.  The 1992 amount was
impacted by higher  repossession  expenses,  depreciation of commercial aircraft
while being  re-marketed,  and start-up  expenses  related to Consumer  Finance.
Excluding  these  expenses,  other  operating  expenses  in 1992 were  basically
unchanged from 1991.

Income Taxes

      The  provision  for  Federal  and  state and  local  income  taxes in 1992
increased to $105.3 million from $100.0  million in 1991.  The effective  income
tax rate was 38.7%, down from 39.8% in 1991.

Financing and Leasing Assets

      Finance  receivables  and  equipment  under  operating  lease were  $12.23
billion at  December  31,  1992,  a rise of $564.6  million  (4.8%)  from $11.67
billion at year-end 1991. At year-end 1992, finance  receivables  totaled $11.77
billion,  an increase of $249.9  million  (2.2%) from $11.52 billion at year-end
1991.  Equipment  under  operating  lease totaled $462.8 million at December 31,
1992, up from $148.0 million at year-end 1991.

      Capital  Equipment  Financing  receivables  and equipment  under operating
lease  totaled  $4.81  billion at December  31,  1992,  an increase of 6.7% from
year-end  1991.  The increase was primarily due to financings to the  commercial
airline and shipping industries, offset in part by sluggish economic conditions.
Business  Credit  receivables  amounted to $1.28  billion at year-end  1992,  an
increase of 7.2% from year-end  1991.  The increase in finance  receivables  was
largely  due to new  business  opportunities  in the  manufacturing  and  retail


                                       22
<PAGE>

sectors,  partially  offset by higher  than  normal  customer  paydowns  and the
receipt  of assets in  satisfaction  of a loan from a bankrupt  building  supply
concern. Credit Finance receivables totaled $545.0 million at December 31, 1992,
an increase of 10.4% from year-end  1991,  reflecting  new business with various
manufacturers, primarily paper and metal producers.

      Industrial  Financing  receivables  and equipment  under  operating  lease
totaled  $3.17  billion at December 31, 1992,  an increase of 5.2% from year-end
1991.  The rise  reflected  strong fourth quarter  volume,  including  portfolio
acquisitions   from   equipment   dealers  and  a  rise  in  business   aircraft
transactions.  Sales Financing receivables totaled $1.41 billion at December 31,
1992, a decrease of 0.9% since year-end 1991. This unit's expanding recreational
vehicle portfolio was offset by higher prepayment  activity earlier in the year,
the  sale  of  the  remaining  business  equipment  leasing  receivables,  and a
securitization of manufactured housing receivables.

      Commercial  Services  receivables  totaled  $1.01  billion at December 31,
1992,  a  decrease  of 1.7% from  year-end  1991.  The modest  decline  reflects
paydowns from the retail sector during the fourth quarter of 1992.

Finance Receivables Composition

     The finance receivables portfolio is principally composed of commercial and
industrial loans and direct  financing and leveraged  leasing  receivables.  The
portfolio  mix and  finance  receivables  concentrations  did not  significantly
change from year-end 1991.

Financing and Leasing Assets Concentrations
  Commercial Airlines

      Commercial  airline  finance  receivables  of $1.59  billion and operating
leases of $359.3  million  totaled $1.95 billion  (16.0% of total  financing and
leasing  assets  before the  reserve  for credit  losses) at  December  31, 1992
compared to $1.70 billion  (14.5%) at year-end 1991. The portfolio is secured by
commercial aircraft and related equipment.

     The following table presents the commercial airline industry portfolio.

(a)  Includes accrued rents on operating leases of $1.5 million and $0.2 million
     at December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1991, respectively.

(b)  Certain   obligors  have  both  finance   receivable  and  operating  lease
     transactions.

(c)  Regulations  established by the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA")
     limit  the  maximum  permitted  noise an  aircraft  may  make.  A Stage III
     aircraft meets a more restrictive  noise level  requirement than a Stage II
     aircraft.  The FAA has  issued  rules  which  phase out the use of Stage II
     aircraft  in the United  States  through the year 2000.  The  International
     Civil Aviation  Organization has issued similar requirements for Europe. At
     year-end 1992, the portfolio  consisted of 231 Stage III aircraft (80%) and
     73 Stage II aircraft (20%) versus 208 Stage III aircraft (75%) and 86 Stage
     II (25%) at year-end 1991.

      At December 31, 1992,  outstandings  of $18.6 million on three  commercial
aircraft with two of the three bankrupt  airlines (each with collateral value in
excess of carrying value) were included in finance  receivables past due 60 days
or more. No other commercial airline finance  receivables or lease payments were
past due 60 days or more at December 31, 1992.

      At year-end 1991,  six commercial  aircraft with a carrying value of $96.8
million  were  included  in  assets  received  in  satisfaction  of  loans.  The
Corporation  re-leased,  under  operating lease  agreements,  all six commercial
aircraft during 1992. No commercial aircraft were included in assets received in
satisfaction of loans at December 31, 1992.

  Retail Industry

      Retail industry  receivables,  principally  through  Commercial  Services,
totaled $813.8 million (6.7% of financing and leasing  earning assets before the
reserve for credit  losses) at  December  31,  1992  compared to $872.5  million
(7.5%) at December 31, 1991.  Outstandings  to  retailers on  nonaccrual  status
declined to $20.9  million at December  31, 1992 from $61.0  million at year-end
1991,  primarily  due to the  receipt  of assets of a bankrupt  building  supply
retailer by Business Credit.

Highly Leveraged Transactions

      HLTs totaled  $493.7  million (4.0% of financing and leasing assets before
the reserve for credit  losses) at December 31, 1992,  down from $588.8  million
(5.0%) at  December  31,  1991.  The  decline  in HLT  outstandings  in 1992 was
primarily  due to  delisting  $73.2  million of finance  receivables  and to the
receipt of assets of the bankrupt building supply concern previously referred to
in the Retail Industry section. The Corporation's HLT outstandings are generally
secured by collateral,  as  distinguished  from HLTs that rely primarily on cash
flow from  operations.  At December 31, 1992, the HLT portfolio  consisted of 25
obligors  in 13  different  industry  groups,  with  approximately  24.5% of the
outstandings  located in the Northeast  region of the United States and 44.1% in
the Southeast. Two accounts totaling $14.8 million were classified as nonaccrual
at December 31, 1992  compared to $57.2  million (3 accounts) at year-end  1991.
Unfunded  commitments  to lend in secured HLT  situations  were $78.4 million at
December 31, 1992 compared to $76.3 million at year-end 1991.

Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses

     Continued weakness in the U.S. economy throughout 1992 led to a modest rise
in  charge-offs  in 1992,  while  the  amounts  of past due loans  declined  and
non-performing  assets  remained  relatively  unchanged  from 1991.  Information
concerning  the provision for credit  losses and net  charge-offs  is summarized
below:

                                               Year Ended December 31,

                                                ========     ========

     Net  charge-offs  increased  by a modest $3.1 million  (3.3%) in 1992.  The
ratio of net charge-offs to average finance receivables rose slightly in 1992 to
.84% from .82% in 1991.

      The  reserve  for  credit  losses  amounted  to $158.5  million  (1.35% of
outstanding finance receivables) at December 31, 1992 compared to $155.1 million
(1.35%) at year-end 1991.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables
and Assets Received in Satisfaction of Loans

      Finance receivables past due 60 days or more totaled $335.8 million (2.85%
of finance  receivables)  at December 31, 1992, down from $351.1 million (3.05%)
at December 31, 1991.  Excluding  finance  receivables  in Industrial  Financing
which have dealer or manufacturer  recourse  provisions,  the percentage of past
due  loans  60 days or more was  2.57% at  year-end  1992  compared  to 2.65% at
year-end 1991.

      Finance  receivables on nonaccrual status included in past due receivables
totaled $234.2 million (1.99% of finance  receivables)  at December 31, 1992, up
from $190.7  million  (1.66%) at  December  31,  1991.  At  year-end  1992,  the
nonaccrual finance receivables  portfolio was principally related to the retail,
oil refining, manufacturing, and construction industries.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
The CIT Group Holdings, Inc.:

     We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of The CIT
Group Holdings,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated  statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,
1993. These  consolidated  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Corporation's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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

     In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above
present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of The CIT
Group  Holdings,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
results  of  their  operations  and  cash  flows  for  each of the  years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

     As  discussed  in  Note 1 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the
Corporation  adopted  the  provisions  of  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions," in 1993.

                 THE CIT GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation of Financial Statements and Footnotes

     The consolidated  financial  statements and accompanying  notes include the
accounts  of  The  CIT  Group   Holdings,   Inc.  and  its   subsidiaries   (the
"Corporation").  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Prior period amounts (that are not significant) have been restated to conform to
the current presentation.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

     For purposes of preparing  the  Statements of Cash Flows,  the  Corporation
defines cash and  interest-bearing  deposits as cash and cash equivalents.  Cash
inflows  and  outflows  from  commercial  paper  borrowings  and most  factoring
receivables are presented on a net basis as their term is generally less than 90
days.  Interest-bearing  deposits  generally  represent  overnight  money market
investments  of excess cash  borrowed in the  commercial  paper  market that are
maintained for liquidity purposes.

Revenue Recognition

     Interest  revenue on finance  receivables  other than  leveraged  leases is
recognized on an accrual  basis  commencing  in the month of  origination  using
methods that generally  approximate the actuarial  method . Revenue on leveraged
leases is recognized on a basis calculated to achieve a constant  after-tax rate
of return for periods in which the  Corporation  has a positive net  investment,
net of related  deferred tax  liabilities.  Rental income on operating leases is
included  in  interest  and fees  earned,  net of  depreciation  expense for the
related asset, over the term of the lease.

     Except for certain Sales Financing  accounts which are subject to automatic
charge-off  procedures,  the accrual of  interest  revenue is  suspended  and an
account is placed on nonaccrual  status  either when a payment is  contractually
delinquent for 90 days or more and collateral is  insufficient to cover both the
outstanding  principal and accrued interest or immediately if, in the opinion of
management,  full  collection  of principal  and  interest is doubtful.  Revenue
accrued but not collected at the date an account is placed on nonaccrual  status
is reversed and charged  against  current  revenue when the collateral  does not
satisfy the  principal  and accrued  interest  outstanding.  Subsequent  revenue
received is either applied to the outstanding  principal  balance or recorded as
interest   income,   depending  on  management's   assessment  of  the  ultimate
collectibility of principal and interest.

     Fees earned include  factoring  commissions,  commitment and facility fees,
and letters of credit and syndication fees.  Origination and other nonrefundable
fees and related  direct  origination  costs are  deferred  and  amortized as an
adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the transaction.

     Gains and losses  realized  upon the sale of assets  coming off lease,  the
securitization of finance  receivables and the disposition of assets received in
satisfaction of loans are reflected in gains on asset sales.

Lease Financing

     The  Corporation  engages  in direct  financing,  operating  and  leveraged
leasing  arrangements.  Funding for direct  financing  leases is provided by the
Corporation. Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate future minimum
lease payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income.

     Purchases of equipment to be placed on operating  lease  consist of various
types of commercial and industrial equipment. Equipment under operating lease is
stated  at  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Assets  are  depreciated  to
estimated  future fair  market  value  using the  straight-line  method over the
longer of the lease term or  projected  holding  period of the asset.  Equipment
acquired in satisfaction of loans and subsequently  placed on operating lease is
recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value when acquired.

<PAGE>

                 THE CIT GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

     Funding  for the major  portion of  leveraged  leases is  provided by third
party lenders, with the Corporation providing the balance and acquiring title to
the  property.  Leveraged  leases are carried at the  aggregate  value of future
minimum  lease  payments  plus  estimated  residual  value,  less amounts due to
non-recourse  third party lenders and unearned  finance income.  In the event of
default  by the  lessee,  the  third  party  lenders  have  no  recourse  to the
Corporation.

Reserve for Credit Losses on Finance Receivables

     The reserve for credit losses is established and periodically  reviewed for
adequacy  based on the  nature and  characteristics  of the  accounts,  economic
conditions  and trends,  charge-off  experience,  delinquencies,  and underlying
collateral  and  guarantees.  It is  management's  judgment that the reserve for
credit losses is adequate to provide for potential credit losses.

Charge-off of Finance Receivables

     The finance receivables portfolio is reviewed periodically to determine the
probability  of loss on  individual  receivables.  Charge-offs  are taken  after
considering such factors as the customer's  financial condition and the value of
underlying  collateral and  guarantees.  Such  charge-offs are deducted from the
carrying  value of the related  receivables.  To the extent that an  unrecovered
balance remains due, a final charge-off is taken at the time collection  efforts
are no longer deemed useful.  Automatic  charge-offs are taken for certain Sales
Financing  receivables when no payments are received for 120 days or at 180 days
notwithstanding any partial payments received.

Other Assets

     Assets   received  in  satisfaction   of  loans,   including   in-substance
foreclosures, are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value
less selling  costs,  with  write-downs  at the time of receipt or  in-substance
foreclosure charged to the reserve for credit losses.  Subsequent write-downs of
these  assets,  which may be required due to a decline in estimated  fair market
value  after  receipt  or in  substance  foreclosure,  are  reflected  in  other
operating expenses.

     Fixed  assets  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated   depreciation  and
amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are computed  principally using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

     At the time management  decides to proceed with a securitization of finance
receivables,  such receivables are considered held for sale and are reclassified
to other assets.

Derivative Financial Instruments

     The  Corporation  enters  into  interest  rate swap and  interest  rate cap
agreements  as  part of its  overall  interest  rate  risk  management  process.
Transactions  under these  agreements are accounted for on an accrual basis over
their contractual term.

Federal Income Taxes and Investment Tax Credits

     On  January 1, 1993,  the  Corporation  adopted,  on a  prospective  basis,
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred
tax assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for the  future tax  consequences
attributable to temporary  differences  between the financial statement carrying
amounts of  existing  assets and  liabilities  and their  respective  tax bases.
Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  are  determined  using  enacted tax rates
expected to apply in the year in which those temporary  differences are expected
to be  recovered  or settled.  Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and  liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income at the time of
enactment.  The  adoption of SFAS 109 did not have a  significant  impact on the
Corporation's  consolidated  results  of  operations  in 1993  due to the  prior
adoption of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 96, "Accounting for
Income Taxes".

                 THE CIT GROUP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

     Federal  investment  tax credits  realized for income tax purposes on lease
financing transactions have been deferred for financial statement purposes. Such
credits are  amortized  as a reduction of the  provision  for income taxes on an
actuarial method over the life of the related asset.

     Credit lines with DKB in the  preceding  table  totaled  $357.0  million at
December 31, 1993 and $345.0 million at December 31, 1992.

Note 6--Derivative Financial Instruments

     As part of managing the exposure to changes in market interest  rates,  the
Corporation  has entered into various  interest  rate swap and cap  transactions
with other financial institutions acting as principal counterparties,  including
subsidiaries  of DKB and CBC. The swaps have  remaining  terms  ranging from one
month to fifteen  years.  The following  table  presents the notional  principal
amounts and the weighted  average  interest  rates on the interest rate swaps at
December 31, 1993.

                                             ==========

     Additionally,  there were  interest  rate  swaps with a notional  principal
amount of $110.0  million  on which the  Corporation  was paying  interest  at a
weighted average rate of 3.63% at December 31, 1993 that  effectively  converted
yen denominated debt into U.S. dollar obligations.

     At December 31, 1993, the Corporation had purchased interest rate caps with
an outstanding  notional  principal  amount of $1.45 billion and remaining terms
ranging from one to twenty-three months to hedge the interest rate on commercial
paper of a like  amount.  Included  in that  amount  are $1.15  billion  of caps
purchased in  conjunction  with the sale of an equal amount of caps to hedge the
net interest margin on a comparable amount of floating rate finance receivables,
which  reprice based upon changes in the prime rate and are funded by commercial
paper, from short-term market interest rate fluctuations.

     The Corporation's exposure to counterparty credit risk at December 31, 1993
was not  significant.  Counterparty  credit risk is  represented  by the cost to
replace interest rate swap contracts and interest rate cap agreements at current
market rates should the counterparty default.

Note 7--Income Taxes

     The Revenue  Reconciliation  Act of 1993 (the "Act") which became effective
in August 1993,  provides for a 1% increase in the statutory  Federal  corporate
income tax rate.  The rate change  increased the 1993 provision for income taxes
by $10.8  million  including  an  adjustment  of $8.2  million to  deferred  tax
balances,  primarily related to the lease portfolio. In addition, as required by
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 13,  "Accounting  for Leases"
("SFAS  13"),  the  after-tax  rate of return and the  allocation  of income was
recalculated  from  inception for the leveraged  lease  portfolio to reflect the
impact of the change in rate, the net effect of which was not significant.

permit stockholders' equity to be less than $200.0 million.

Note 9--Benefit Plans

  Retirement Plan

     Substantially  all employees of the Corporation who have completed one year
of service and have  attained the age of 21 years  participate  in The CIT Group
Holdings,  Inc.  Retirement Plan ("CIT Plan"). The retirement benefits under the
CIT Plan are  based on the  employee's  age,  years of  benefit  service,  and a
percentage of qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. Plan
assets consist of marketable  securities,  including common stock and government
and corporate  debt  securities.  The  Corporation  funds the plan by the amount
charged  to  operating  expense  to the  extent it  qualifies  for an income tax
deduction.

     The accompanying table sets forth the funded status of the CIT Plan and the
amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Postretirement Benefits

     The Corporation provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to
eligible retired employees.  Salaried participants generally become eligible for
retiree  health care  benefits  after  reaching  age 55 with 10 years of benefit
service and 9 years of medical  plan  participation  in 1993,  increasing  to 11
years of medical plan participation in 1995. Generally,  the medical plans pay a
stated percentage of most medical expenses reduced by a deductible as well as by
payments made by  government  programs and other group  coverage.  The plans are
unfunded.

     The Corporation  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
106,  "Employers'  Accounting of  Postretirement  Benefits  Other Than Pensions"
("SFAS 106") as of January 1, 1993.  SFAS 106  requires the accrual,  during the
active service period of the employee,  of the cost of providing  postretirement
benefits, including medical and life insurance coverage. The Corporation elected
to amortize the SFAS 106 transition obligation over a twenty-year period.

     The  following  table sets forth the  postretirement  benefit  liability at
December 31, 1993.

Savings Incentive Plan

     Certain employees of the Corporation participate in The CIT Group Holdings,
Inc.  Savings  Incentive  Plan.  This plan qualifies under section 401(k) of the
Internal  Revenue  Code.  The   Corporation's   expense  is  based  on  specific
percentages  of  employee   contributions  and  plan  administrative  costs  and
aggregated $6.8 million,  $6.3 million and $5.6 million for the years 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.

Note 10--Lease Commitments

     The Corporation has entered into noncancellable  long-term lease agreements

Note 11--Legal Proceedings

     In the ordinary  course of business,  there are various  legal  proceedings
pending  against  the  Corporation.   Management  believes  that  the  aggregate
liabilities, if any, arising from such actions would not have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position of the Corporation.

Note 12--Credit-Related Commitments

     In the normal course of meeting the financing  needs of its customers,  the
Corporation  enters into various  credit-related  commitments.  These  financial
instruments  generate fees and involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated  Balance Sheets. To
minimize potential credit risk, the Corporation  generally  requires  collateral
and other credit-related terms and conditions from the customer.  In the event a
customer defaults on the underlying  transaction,  the maximum potential loss to
the Corporation  represents the contractual amount outstanding less the value of
all underlying collateral and guarantees.

     The accompanying table summarizes the contractual amounts of credit-related
commitments.

Note 13--Fair Values of Financial Instruments

     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107,  "Disclosures  About
Fair Value of Financial  Instruments"  ("SFAS 107")  requires  disclosure of the
estimated  fair  value of the  Corporation's  financial  instruments,  excluding
leasing  transactions  accounted for under SFAS 13. The fair value estimates are
made at a  discrete  point in time  based on  relevant  market  information  and
information about the financial instrument. Because no trading market exists for
a significant  portion of the Corporation's  financial  instruments,  fair value
estimates are based on judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss  experience,
current  economic   conditions,   risk   characteristics  of  various  financial
instruments,  and other  factors.  These  estimates  are  subjective  in nature,
involving  uncertainties  and matters of  significant  judgment  and,  therefore
cannot be  determined  with  precision.  Changes in  assumptions  or  estimation
methods may  significantly  affect the estimated  fair values.  Because of these
limitations,  management  provides no assurance  that the estimated  fair values
presented would necessarily be realized upon disposition or sale.

     Actual fair values in the  marketplace  are  affected by other  significant
factors,  such as supply and demand,  investment  trends and the  motivations of
buyers  and  sellers,  which  are  not  considered  in the  methodology  used to
determine the estimated fair values presented. In addition, fair value estimates
are based on existing on-and  off-balance  sheet financial  instruments  without
attempting to estimate the value of future business  transactions  and the value
of assets and liabilities that are part of the  Corporation's  overall value but
are not considered  financial  instruments.  Significant  assets and liabilities
that are not considered  financial assets or liabilities  include customer base,
premises and equipment,  assets received in satisfaction of loans,  and deferred
tax liabilities.  In addition,  tax effects relating to the unrealized gains and
losses  (differences in estimated fair values and carrying values) have not been
considered in these  estimates  and can have a significant  effect on fair value
estimates.

     The carrying amounts for cash and cash  equivalents  approximate fair value
because they have short maturities and do not present  significant credit risks.
Credit-related  commitments as disclosed in Note 12 are primarily  floating rate
contracts,  and, if exercised,  the disclosed  amounts  would  approximate  fair
value.

</TABLE>

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

(a)  The fair value of  performing  fixed-rate  loans is estimated  based upon a
     present value discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates that were
     being  offered  at the end of the  year for  loans  with  similar  terms to
     borrowers of similar  credit  quality.  Discount  rates used in the present
     value  calculation  range from 7.20% to 10.40% for 1993 and 7.77% to 13.47%
     for 1992. The maturities used represent the average contractual  maturities
     adjusted for prepayments.  For floating rate loans that reprice  frequently
     and have no significant  change in credit quality,  fair values approximate
     carrying  value.   Higher  than  normal  credit  risk  loans,   principally
     nonaccrual  loans, are valued using estimated cash flows discounted using a
     rate  commensurate  with the  associated  risk. The  methodologies  used to
     estimate fair value are further  limited with respect to  nonaccrual,  past
     due and other higher than normal  credit risk loans  because such loans are
     subject to  significantly  greater  differences in the estimated amount and
     timing of their  projected cash flows and appropriate  discount rates.  The
     net carrying value of lease finance  receivables  not subject to fair value
     disclosure totaled $2,497,257,000 in 1993 and $2,186,950,000 in 1992.

(b)  Other assets  subject to fair value  disclosure  include  accrued  interest
     receivable  and  investment  securities.  The  carrying  amount of  accrued
     interest receivable approximates fair value. Investment securities actively
     traded in a secondary market have been valued using quoted available market
     prices.  Investments  not actively  traded in a secondary  market have been
     valued based upon recent  selling  price or present value  discounted  cash
     flow analysis. The carrying value of other assets not subject to fair value
     disclosure  totaled  $178,169,000 in 1993 and $185,012,000 in 1992. Accrued
     interest  receivable  related to swap agreements totaled $9,267,000 in 1993
     and $6,099,000 in 1992.

(c)  The estimated fair value of commercial  paper  approximates  carrying value
     due to the relatively short maturities.

(d)  Fixed rate term debt has been valued using a present value  discounted cash
     flow analysis with a discount rate  approximating  current market rates for
     issuances by the  Corporation  of similar term debt at the end of the year.
     Discount rates used in the present value  calculation  ranged from 3.16% to
     6.68% in 1993 and  3.65% to 7.54% in 1992.  The  estimated  fair  value for
     floating rate term debt is presumed to  approximate  carrying value because
     the debt reprices to market terms within 90 days.

(e)  The  estimated  fair  value for  floating  rate term  debt is  presumed  to
     approximate carrying value because the debt reprices to market terms within
     90 days.

(f)  The  estimated  fair  value  of  credit   balances  of  factoring   clients
     approximates  carrying value due to their short settlement  terms.  Accrued
     liabilities  and payables with no stated  maturities have an estimated fair
     value  which  approximates  carrying  value.  The  carrying  value of other
     liabilities not subject to fair value  disclosure  totaled  $491,232,000 in
     1993 and  $448,193,000 in 1992.  Accrued  interest  payable related to swap
     agreements totaled $15,777,000 in 1993 and $17,864,000 in 1992.

(g)  The notional amount of interest rate swaps totaled  $3,685,500,000  in 1993
     and  $4,613,500,000  in 1992, and the notional amount of interest rate caps
     totaled $2,600,000,000 in 1993 and $100,000,000 in 1992. The estimated fair
     value of interest  rate swaps and caps is obtained  from dealer  quotes and
     represents  the net amount  payable to terminate the swap or cap agreement,
     taking into account current market interest rates and  counterparty  credit
     risk. The amount shown under carrying value represents net interest payable
     arising from these swap agreements.

Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan

     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  114,  "Accounting  by
Creditors for  Impairment  of a Loan" ("SFAS 114"),  was issued by the Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board in May 1993. SFAS 114 requires that the value of an
impaired loan be measured based upon:  (1) the present value of expected  future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective  interest rate or, (2) at the fair
value  of the  collateral,  if the  loan is  collateral  dependent.  SFAS 114 is
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1994. In general,  the
Corporation's  loans are collateral  dependent  and, when impaired,  are usually
carried at the lower of book value or the fair value of the collateral. Although
management has not completed  evaluating the effect of implementing SFAS 114, at
this time, it does not expect the effect on the consolidated  financial position
or results of operations to be significant.

Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

     In May 1993, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity  Securities"  ("SFAS 115"),  which is effective for fiscal years
beginning  after December 15, 1993.  SFAS 115 supersedes  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 12, "Accounting for Certain Marketable  Securities" and
addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that
have  readily   determinable  fair  values  and  for  all  investments  in  debt
securities.  At December 31, 1993, an insignificant  amount of the Corporation's
assets  would  be  subject  to  the  provisions  of  SFAS  115,  therefore,  the
Corporation  believes  that SFAS 115 will not have a  significant  impact on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 15--Ownership of the Corporation

     At year-end 1989, The Dai-Ichi  Kangyo Bank,  Limited  purchased 60% of the
issued  and  outstanding   shares  of  the   Corporation's   common  stock  from
Manufacturers  Hanover  Corporation  ("MHC").  MHC  retained a 40% common  stock
interest in the  Corporation.  Effective  March 29, 1990,  MHC  transferred  its
common stock interest to its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  MHC Holdings  (Delaware)
Inc.  ("MHC  Holdings").   On  December  31,  1991,  MHC  and  Chemical  Banking
Corporation merged in a stock-for-stock  transaction.  The merged corporation is
Chemical  Banking  Corporation.  CBC retains a 40% common stock  interest in the
Corporation through MHC Holdings.

     At year-end 1992, the Corporation  paid a one-time  special dividend in the
aggregate  amount of $150.0 million to its  stockholders,  DKB and MHC Holdings.
The   stockholders   then   immediately   contributed   $150.0  million  to  the
Corporation's  additional  paid-in  capital in  proportion  to their 60% and 40%
common stock ownership interests.

Note 16--Subsequent Event--Acquisition

     On  February  28,  1994,  the  Corporation   acquired  Barclays  Commercial
Corporation  ("BCC"),  a company of the Barclays Group.  BCC had total assets of
approximately  $700.0 million at December 31, 1993 and total factoring volume of
approximately  $5.00 billion for the year then ended.  The business and acquired
assets  of BCC were  transferred  to The CIT  Group/BCC,  Inc.,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the  Corporation,  offering a full  range of  factoring  services,  including
purchase of accounts receivables, credit protection, bookkeeping, and collection
activities.

Note 17--Acquisition of Credit Finance

     In February 1991, the Corporation purchased the commercial finance business
and certain  loan  assets of  Fidelcor  Business  Credit  Corporation  ("FBCC"),
formerly a subsidiary of First Fidelity Bancorporation, for approximately $502.0
million in cash.  The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets  acquired
totaled approximately $37.0 million, which is being amortized over the estimated
lives of the related assets on a straight-line  basis. The business and acquired
assets  of FBCC  were  transferred  to The CIT  Group/Credit  Finance,  Inc.,  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Corporation,  which conducts its operations as a
separate operating unit, with continuing emphasis on middle market inventory and
accounts receivable financing.

(1)  Under The CIT Group Bonus Plan,  cash awards for each  calendar year may be
     paid in  amounts  determined  by the  Executive  Committee  of the Board of
     Directors  in its  discretion.  Senior  Officer  awards  are  reviewed  and
     approved  by the Board of  Directors.  The  amount of awards  depends  on a
     variety  of  factors,   including  corporate   performance  and  individual
     performance  during the calendar  year for which awards are made.  All or a
     part  of a cash  award  for a  particular  year  may be paid  currently  or
     deferred and paid upon  retirement  in up to 5 annual  installments  at the
     option of the participant.  All awards are subject to appropriate taxes and
     deferred amounts are credited annually with interest.

(2)  The  payments  set forth  under Other  Annual  Compensation  represent  the
     dividends paid under the CIT Career  Incentive  Plan.  For the  performance
     period  1990-1992  under the CIT Career  Incentive  Plan,  Mr. Gamper holds
     6,666 phantom shares of stock,  Mr.  Pollicino  4,000 phantom  shares,  Mr.
     Darmanin  1,850 phantom  shares,  Mr.  Merritt 1,833 phantom shares and Mr.

     phantom  shares,  Mr.  Darmanin  3,375 phantom  shares,  Mr.  Merritt 3,600
     phantom shares and Mr. Zdanow 3,750 phantom shares.

(3)  The payments set forth under LTIP  Payouts  represent  the payout of shares
     vested under the CIT Career Incentive Plan.  Dividends  received under this
     Plan are set  forth  under  Other  Annual  Compensation.  (The  CIT  Career
     Incentive Plan is described in "Long Term Incentive Plan".)

(4)  The payments set forth under All Other Compensation  represent the matching
     employer  contribution  to  each  participant's  account  and  an  employer
     flexible retirement  contribution to each participant's flexible retirement
     account under The CIT Group Holdings, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the "CIT
     Savings Plan").  The matching  employer  contribution is made pursuant to a
     compensation  deferral feature of the CIT Savings Plan under Section 401(k)
     of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986.  The  payments set forth under All
     Other  Compensation  also  represent  contributions  to each  participant's
     account under the Supplemental  Savings Plan of CIT (the "CIT  Supplemental
     Savings Plan"), which is an unfunded, non-qualified plan.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     Under The CIT Group Holdings,  Inc. Career  Incentive Plan (the "CIT Career
Incentive  Plan"),  awards are granted in the form of phantom shares of stock by
the  Executive   Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  in  its   discretion.
Participants  in the CIT Career  Incentive  Plan are  selected by the  Executive
Committee from among the executives of the Corporation and its  subsidiaries who
are in a position to make a substantial  contribution to the long-term financial
success of the  Corporation  or its  subsidiaries.  Grants to the members of the
Executive  Committee are made by the Board of  Directors.  The amount of phantom
shares eligible for allocation during a Performance  Period is determined by the
Committee.  The Performance Period is at least three consecutive calendar years.
The Committee  determines the  Performance  Goals for each  Performance  Period,
which are tied to net income  growth  targets and return on equity  performance.
The value of the phantom  shares is  determined  at the end of each  Performance
Period and compared against the pre-established Performance Goals. Following the
end of a Performance  Period there is a two year vesting period.  Cash dividends
on individual  shares are paid  quarterly  based on the number of phantom shares
granted to a participant.  The basis of the dividend is the quarterly  return on
equity of the Corporation.

     All or a part of the value of a vested award may be paid  currently in cash
or deferred in up to 5 annual  installments.  Deferred amounts are credited with
an interest rate determined annually by the Committee.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

Retirement Plans

     Effective  January 1, 1990, The CIT Group  Holdings,  Inc.  Retirement Plan
(the "CIT Retirement  Plan") was  established.  Assets necessary to fund the CIT
Retirement  Plan  were  transferred  from the MHC  Retirement  Plan,  Inc.,  the
predecessor plan in which the Corporation's employees participated.  Accumulated
years of benefit  service  under the MHC  Retirement  Plan are  included  in the
benefit formula of the CIT Retirement  Plan,  which covers officers and salaried
employees who have one year of service and have attained age 21.


                                       51
<PAGE>

     Subject  to certain  exceptions,  at the  normal  retirement  age of 65, an
employee's  pension is 1.25% of final average salary, as defined below, for each
of the  first 20 years of  benefit  service  as a  participant  and .75% of such
salary for each year of the next 20 years of benefit  service.  In  general,  an
employee who was a participant in the MHC  Retirement  Plan before 1985 will not
receive a pension of less than 2% of final average  salary for each of the first
20 years of benefit  service as a participant  and 1% of such salary for each of
the  next 20 years  of  benefit  service,  reduced  by .4% of the  participant's
covered compensation for each year of such benefit service up to a maximum of 35
years and further reduced by the value of certain benefits under the CIT Savings
Plan. An employee who was a  participant  in the former CIT  Retirement  Plan on
June 30,  1986,  will not  receive a pension of less than 1.1% of final  average
salary up to certain Social  Security  limits plus 1.5 % of final average salary
in excess of the Social Security  limits,  for each year of benefit service to a
maximum of 35 years,  reduced by certain  benefits  under the CIT Savings  Plan.
"Final average salary" is the highest average annual salary received in any five
consecutive years in the last ten years. "Salary" includes all wages paid by the
Corporation, including before-tax contributions made to the CIT Savings Plan and
salary   reduction   contributions  to  any  Section  125  Plan,  but  excluding
commissions,   bonuses,  incentive  compensation,   overtime,  reimbursement  of
expenses, directors' fees, severance pay, and deferred compensation. This salary
is comparable to the "Salary"  shown in the Summary  Compensation  Table.  After
completing  5  years  of  service,   an  employee  whose   employment  with  the
participating  company  has  terminated  is  entitled  to a  benefit,  as of the
employee's  normal  retirement  date, equal to the benefit earned to the date of
termination of employment,  or an actuarially  reduced benefit commencing at any
time after age 55 if the participant is eligible for early  retirement under the
CIT Retirement Plan.  Certain death benefits are available to eligible surviving
spouses of participants.

     Since various laws and regulations set limits on the amounts allocable to a
participant  under the CIT Savings  Plan and benefits  under the CIT  Retirement
Plan, the Corporation has a supplemental  retirement plan (the "CIT Supplemental
Retirement  Plan").  The CIT  Supplemental  Retirement Plan provides  retirement
benefits on an unfunded  basis to  participants  (whose  benefits  under the CIT
Retirement  Plan would be  restricted  by the limits) of an amount  equal to the
difference between the annual retirement  benefits permitted and the amount that
would have been paid but for the limitations imposed.

     The amounts  set forth in the table are the amounts  which would be paid to
employees  hired  before 1985  pursuant to the CIT  Retirement  Plan and the CIT
Supplemental  Retirement Plan at a participant's  normal retirement age assuming
the indicated  final average salary and the indicated  years of benefit  service
and assuming  that the straight life annuity form of benefit will be elected and
that CIT  Supplemental  Retirement  Plan benefits will be paid in the form of an
annuity.  The amounts may be  overstated  to the extent that they do not reflect
the reduction for any benefits under the CIT Savings Plan.

Permanent Life Insurance Options Plan

     Twenty-two   officers  of  the  Corporation,   including  Mr.  Gamper,  Mr.
Pollicino,  Mr. Darmanin, Mr. Merritt and Mr. Zdanow, are participants under the
Permanent  Life  Insurance  Options Plan.  The benefit  provided is paid-up life
insurance equal to approximately three times salary with a life annuity option


                                       52
<PAGE>

payable  monthly by the Corporation  upon  retirement.  The  Participant  pays a
portion of the annual premium and the Corporation  pays the balance on behalf of
the  participant.  The  Corporation  is entitled to recoup its payments from the
proceeds of the policy. Upon the participant's retirement a life annuity will be
payable  out of the  current  income  of the  Corporation  and  the  Corporation
anticipates  recovering  the cost of the life annuity out of the proceeds of the
life insurance policy payable upon the death of the employee.

     In addition to the table of pension  benefits shown on the preceding  page,
the  Corporation  is  conditionally  obligated  to m annual  payments  under the
Permanent Life Insurance  Options Plan in the amounts indicated to the following
persons at retirement:  Gamper, $263,130, Mr. Pollicino, $161,642; Mr. Darmanin,
$136,400, Mr. Merritt, $152,383 and Mr. Zdanow, $93,616.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  functions  as the
compensation  committee  and sets the  compensation  for all  executives  except
Messrs.  Gamper,  Pollicino,  Murata and  Torii.  The  members of the  Executive
Committee are as follows:

                     Albert R. Gamper, Jr.
                     Michio Murata
                     Joseph A. Pollicino
                     Peter J. Tobin
                     Keiji Torii

     The Board of Directors,  except for Messrs.  Gamper and Pollicino,  who are
absent  from any  portion of  meetings  when their  compensation  is  discussed,
deliberates  over  the  compensation  of  Messrs.  Gamper  and  Pollicino.   DKB
determines  the  compensation  for  Messrs.  Murata and Torii.  Mr.  Tobin is an
executive of CBC.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     Mr. Gamper has an employment  agreement with the Corporation which provides
that he will serve as the Chief Executive  Officer,  President,  Chairman of the
Executive Committee and member of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. His
employment agreement runs for five years from December 29, 1989 and provides for
the  payment of an annual  base  salary of  $400,000,  to be  reviewed  at least
annually by the Board of Directors of the Corporation,  subject to increases but
not to  decreases.  In December  1992,  Mr.  Gamper's  employment  agreement was
extended  for one  additional  year.  Mr.  Gamper's  employment  agreement  also
provides for executive  incentive  compensation under Incentive Plans which will
be designed to be no less  favorable to him than the  Incentive  Plans in effect
prior  to the  purchase  by DKB of 60%  of the  Corporation's  shares.  For  the
calendar  years of 1991,  and 1992,  Mr.  Gamper's  incentive  compensation  was
required  to be equal  to at  least  50% of his base  salary  during  each  such
respective calendar year.

     Mr.  Pollicino  has an  employment  agreement  with the  Corporation  which
provides  that he shall  serve as the Vice  Chairman  and member of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation. Mr. Pollicino's employment agreement runs for five
years from  December  29,  1989 and  provides  for the payment of an annual base
salary of $300,000,  to be reviewed at least  annually by the Board of Directors
of the Corporation, subject to increases but not to decreases. In December 1992,
Mr. Pollicino's  employment  agreement was extended for one additional year. Mr.
Pollicino's   employment   agreement  also  provides  for  executive   incentive
compensation  under  Incentive  Plans  which  will  be  designed  to be no  less
favorable to him than the Incentive Plans in effect prior to the purchase by DKB
of 60% of the Corporation's  shares.  For the calendar years 1991, and 1992, Mr.
Pollicino's  incentive  compensation was required to be equal to at least 50% of
his base salary during each such respective calendar year.

     In addition to Mr. Gamper and Mr. Pollicino,  Mr. Darmanin, Mr. Merritt and
Mr.  Zdanow  have  employment  agreements  with the  Corporation,  each of which
initially ran three years from  December 29, 1989 through  December 31, 1992 and
provides  for the  payment of base  salary of not less than the amount  received
prior to the purchase by DKB of 60% of the Corporations's shares, to be reviewed
at least annually by the Chief Executive  Officer,  subject to increases but not
to decreases.  In December 1992, the employment  agreements were extended for an
additional two years.  These  employment  agreements  also provide for executive


                                       53

incentive  compensation  under  Incentive  Plans which will be designed to be no
less  favorable to the executive  officers  than the  Incentive  Plans in effect
prior to the aforesaid share purchase by DKB.

TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS

     Mr. Gamper's and Mr. Pollicino's employment agreements with the Corporation
provide that if their employment is terminated  without cause (as defined in the
agreement) or if they resign for good reason (as defined in the agreement)  they
will be entitled to receive  severance  payments  equal to their base salary for
the greater of  thirty-six  months or the  remainder of the term,  provided that
they do not violate the  non-competition  provisions of the agreement,  in which
case the  Corporation  would have no obligation to make any remaining  payments.
Further,  if Mr. Gamper's and Mr.  Pollicino's  employment is terminated without
cause or if they resign for good reason, they will be entitled to receive, among
other things, full employee welfare benefit coverage as if they had retired with
the Corporation's  consent at age 55, a pension benefit  commencing at age 55 in
an amount equal to their accrued benefit under the Corporation's Retirement Plan
as of the date of their termination of employment as if they had attained age 55
and had retired on such date with the Corporation's consent, a lump sum equal to
the  then  full  value of their  restricted  stock  award  under  the Long  Term
Incentive Program of Manufacturers Hanover Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
"MHC Long Term  Incentive  Plan") and any vested award under any similar plan as
may have been adopted by the Corporation,  and a single life annuity  equivalent
to the single life annuity  they would have  normally  been  entitled to receive
under the Corporation's Permanent Life Insurance Options Plan.

     The  employment  agreements  of Mr.  Darmanin,  Mr.  Merritt and Mr. Zdanow
provide that if their employment is terminated  without cause (as defined in the
agreement) or if they resign for good reason (as defined in the agreement), they
will be entitled to receive  severance  payments  equal to their base salary for
the greater of 24 months or the remainder of the term, provided that they do not
violate  the  non-competition  provisions  of the  agreement,  in which case the
Corporation would have no obligation to make any remaining payments. Further, if
the  employment of such executive  officer is terminated  without cause or if he
resigns  for good  reason,  he will be entitled to  continued  participation  in
employee  welfare benefit  coverage for eighteen months, a lump sum equal to the
then full value of his restricted  stock award under the MHC Long Term Incentive
Program and any vested  award under any similar plan as may have been adopted by
the Corporation, and if age 55 or older on the date of termination, the benefits
payable under the  Corporation's  Permanent  Life  Insurance  Options Plan or if
under age 55 a lump sum  payment  which  represents  the  equivalent  of the net
after-tax  present value of the single life annuity that would have been payable
to the individual executive officer at age 55.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Transactions with Management and Others

     The  Corporation  has in the past and may in the future  enter into certain
transactions  with affiliates of the  Corporation.  It is anticipated  that such
transactions will be entered into at a fair market value for the transaction.

     The Corporation's  interest-bearing  deposits generally represent overnight
money  market  investments  of excess  cash that are  maintained  for  liquidity
purposes. At December 31, 1993, the Corporation had no interest-bearing deposits
with DKB or CBC. From time to time, the  Corporation  may maintain such deposits
with DKB or CBC.

     At December 31, 1993, the Corporation's  credit line coverage with 84 banks
totaled  $4.49  billion,   including  $4.07  billion  of  committed  facilities.
Additional  information  regarding  these  credit  lines can be found in Item 8.
Financial  Statements and  Supplementary  Data, "Note 5--Debt".  At December 31,
1993, DKB was a committed bank under a $1.12 billion  Revolving Credit Facility,
a  $690.0  million  revolving  credit  facility,  and a $322.0  million  364-day
renewable credit facility, with commitments of $60.0 million, $100.0 million and
$182.0  million,  respectively.  DKB  is a  Co-Agent  under  the  $1.12  billion
Revolving Credit Facility and the Agent under the $322.0 million facility. DKB's
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  DKB International Limited (formerly known as Dai-Ichi
Kangyo International  Limited),  is a committed bank under a $200.0 million Note
Issuance Facility, with a commitment of $15.0 million.

     In addition,  Manufacturers  Hanover Limited, an affiliate of MHC Holdings,
serves as Issuing  Agent on the  $200.0  million  Note  Issuance  Facility.  DKB
participates  in all  facilities  on the same terms and  conditions as all other
participating  banks and the  Corporation  believes that  Manufacturers  Hanover
Limited  is  serving as agent on terms  which  were  prevailing  at the time for
comparable transactions.

     The  Corporation  has entered into interest rate swap and foreign  currency
swap agreements with financial institutions acting as principal  counterparties,
including affiliates of DKB and CBC.  At December 31, 1993, the notional
principal amount outstanding on interest rate swap agreements with DKB and CBC
totaled $270.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively.  The notional principal
amount  outstanding on foreign  currency swaps totaled $60.0 million with DKB
at year-end 1993.

     The Corporation has entered into leveraged leasing  arrangements with third
party loan  participants,  including  affiliates of DKB and CBC. Amounts owed to
affiliates  of DKB and CBC are  discussed in Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and
Supplementary Data, "Note 2--Finance Receivables".

     The  Corporation  has also entered into  various  noncancellable  long-term
facility lease  agreements  with CBC.  Future minimum rentals under these leases
are $1.7  million in 1994,  $1.6  million  in 1995,  $1.5  million in 1996,  $.6
million in 1997, and $.1 million in 1998.

     At December 31, 1993,  the  Corporation  had entered into a  credit-related
commitment  with DKB in the form of a letter of  credit  totaling  $6.6  million
equal to the amount of the single lump sum premium  necessary  to provide  group
life insurance coverage to certain eligible retired employees.

     Schulte  Roth & Zabel,  of which  Mr.  Roth is a  partner,  provides  legal
services to the Corporation. Attorney's fees for services to the Corporation did
not constitute more than 5% of the law firm's gross revenues for the last fiscal
year.  Schulte Roth & Zabel has been  retained in the past and will  continue in
the future to serve as outside counsel for DKB.
