                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 (1) The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been
     prepared by Xerox Credit Corporation (the "Company") in accordance with
     the accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
     for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 and should be read in
     conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
     which appear in that report.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair statement of the
     operating results for the interim periods presented have been made.

     Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.

 (2) During the first six months of 1994, the Company sold an aggregate of
     $487 million in principal amount of medium-term notes.  Of this amount,
     $255 million were floating rate notes which mature in 1996 and 1997 and
     bear interest rates based primarily on spreads above certain reference
     rates such as LIBOR and U.S. T-Bill Rates.  The remaining notes were
     fixed rate notes which mature in 1996 and 1997 and bear interest rates
     ranging from 5.20%  to 5.82%.

 (3) During March 1994, the Company redeemed, at a 1.5% premium, $100 million
     of 8% Notes due 1999.

 (4) During the second quarter of 1994, the Company repaid, at maturity, $75
     million of floating rate notes.

 (5) Pursuant to a Support Agreement between the Company and Xerox
     Corporation (Xerox), Xerox has agreed to retain ownership of 100 percent
     of the voting capital stock of the Company and to make periodic payments
     to the extent necessary to ensure that the Company's annual pre-tax
     earnings available for fixed charges equal at least 1.25 times the
     Company's fixed charges.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           Continuing Operations

      Contracts receivable income represents income earned under an agreement
with Xerox by which the Company purchases long-term accounts receivable
associated with Xerox' sold equipment.  Earned income from contracts
receivable for the second quarter of 1994 was $87 million versus $93 million
in the corresponding period in 1993, and for the six-month periods ended June
30, 1994 and 1993, was $180 million and $195 million, respectively.  The 
decrease in earned income is primarily attributable to lower interest earned
on Xerox' contracts receivable resulting from declining interest rates.

      Second quarter interest expense decreased to $50 million in 1994 from
$53 million in the same period in 1993.  For the six-month period ended June
30, 1994, interest expense decreased to $102 million from $109 million in
1993.  This decrease resulted from lower interest rates partially offset by
increased borrowings required to fund the Company's additional investment in
contracts receivable.  The Company intends to continue to match its contracts
receivable and indebtedness to maintain the relationship between interest 
income and interest expense.

      Operating and administrative expenses were $3 million for the second
quarter of 1994 and $2 million for the second quarter of 1993.  For the six-
month period ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, operating and administrative
expenses totaled $7 million and $6 million, respectively.  These expenses
primarily represent the costs associated with the administration of contracts
receivable purchased from Xerox.

      The  six-month effective income tax rate for continuing operations for
1994 was 42.3 percent, versus 40.0 percent for 1993.  The 1994 increase is 
attributed to non-taxable equity losses recorded by the Company in connection
with its investment in Xerox Financial Services Life Insurance Company.

                         Discontinued Operations

      Since their discontinuance in 1990, the Company made substantial
progress in disengaging from the real estate and third-party financing
businesses.  For the three years ended December 31, 1993, the Company
received net cash proceeds of $2,089 million from the sale of dis-
continued business units, from asset securitizations, sales, and run-
off collection activities.  The amounts received were consistent with the
Company's estimates in the disposal plan and were primarily used to reduce the
Company's short-term indebtedness.  At June 30, 1994, the Company remains
contingently liable for approximately $84 million of receivables under
recourse provisions associated with the securitization transactions.

      During the first six-months of 1994, the Company reduced its net assets
of discontinued operations by approximately $39 million, primarily through
contractual maturities.  The related net proceeds were largely used to repay
short-term indebtedness.

                           XEROX CREDIT CORPORATION
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                 (Continued)

      Since approximately $119 million of the remaining assets represent 
passive lease receivables, many with long-duration contractual maturities and
unique tax attributes, the Company expects that the wind-down of the portfolio
will be slower during 1994 and in future years, compared with 1993 and prior
years.  The Company believes that the liquidation of the remaining assets will
not result in a net loss.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

      The Company's principal sources of funds are cash from the collection
of Xerox contracts receivable and borrowings.

      At June 30, 1994 the Company and Xerox have joint access to four
revolving credit agreements totaling $4 billion with various banks, which
credit agreements expire from 1995 to 1999.  The interest on amounts borrowed
under these facilities would be at rates based, at the borrower's option, on
spreads above certain reference rates such as LIBOR and Federal funds rates.

      Overall, cash of $21 million was used in investing activities during
the first half of 1994, compared with $2 million during the same
period in 1993.  The increase in cash used in investing activities is
principally the result of lower net collections from discontinued operations.

      Cash provided by financing activities was $32 million in the first
half of 1994 compared to cash usage of $29 million during the same period in
1993.  This change is largely due to the increased net proceeds from long-term
debt used to fund the Company's investments in Xerox' contracts receivable.

      The Company believes that cash provided by operations, cash available
under its commercial paper program supported by its credit facilities, and its
readily available access to the capital markets are more than sufficient for
its funding needs.

      Borrowing associated with the financing of customer purchases of Xerox
equipment is expected to continue to increase throughout 1994.  This growth
will be partially offset by proceeds from discontinued third-party financing
and leasing asset sales.  The timing, principal amount and form of new short-
and long- term funding will be determined based upon the Company's financing
needs and prevailing debt market conditions.

      The Company intends to continue to match its contracts receivable and
indebtedness to maintain the relationship between investment income and
interest expense.  To assist in managing its interest rate exposure, the
Company has entered into a number of interest rate swap agreements.  In
general, the Company's objective is to hedge its variable-rate debt by paying
fixed rates under the swap agreements while receiving variable-rate
payments in return.  Additionally, the Company has entered into interest rate
swap agreements which effectively convert variable-rate debt into variable-
rate debt that is indexed to commercial paper rates.

      As of June 30, 1994, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 6.68 to 1.
The Company manages its operations over time using a debt-to-equity guideline
of 6.5 to 1.

(1)   The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on the
      Company's continuing operations by dividing total earnings available
      for fixed charges by total fixed charges.  Interest expense has been
      assigned to discontinued operations principally on the basis of the
      relative amount of gross assets of the discontinued operations.
      Management believes that this allocation method is reasonable in
      light of the amount of debt specifically assigned to discontinued
      operations.  The discontinued operations consist of the Company's real-
      estate development and related financing operations and its third-party
      financing and leasing businesses.

(1)  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed based on
     Xerox' continuing operations by dividing total earnings available for
     fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, by total fixed charges.
     Fixed charges consist of interest, including capitalized interest, and
     one-third of rent expense as representative of the interest portion of
     rentals. Interest expense has been assigned to discontinued operations
     principally on the basis of the relative amount of gross assets of the
     discontinued operations.  Xerox management believes that this allocation
     method is reasonable in light of the debt specifically assigned to
     discontinued operations.  The discontinued operations consist of Xerox'
     real-estate development and related financing operations and its third-
     party financing and leasing businesses, and Other Financial Services
     businesses.

                                                                   (Cont'd)


(2)    Xerox' ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
       the Xerox' finance subsidiaries who primarily finance Xerox equipment.
       Financing businesses, due to their nature, traditionally operate at
       lower earnings to fixed charge ratio levels than do non-financial
       companies.

(*)    In 1993, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
       the $1,373 million before-tax ($813 million after-tax) charge incurred
       in connection with the restructuring provision and litigation
       settlement.  Excluding this charge, the ratio was 2.13.  1993 Earnings
       were inadequate to cover fixed charges.  The coverage deficiency was
       $238 million.

(**)   In 1992, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
       the $936 million before-tax ($778 million after-tax) charge incurred in
       connection with the decision to disengage from the Company's Insurance
       and Other Financial Services businesses.  Excluding this charge, the
       ratio was 2.05.

(***)  In 1991, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of
       the $175 million before-tax ($101 million after-tax) charge incurred in
       connection with the Document Processing work-force reduction announced
       in December 1991.  Excluding this charge, the ratio was 2.08.

(****) Income before income taxes and income in minority owned companies.
