			   XEROX CREDIT CORPORATION
		  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.


     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
     1994 presentation. The most significant reclassification pertains to
     the reporting of the Company's investment in Xerox Financial Services
     Life Insurance Company ("XFSLIC"), a subsidiary of the Company's parent,
     Xerox Financial Services, Inc., which had been reported on the 
     consolidated balance sheet as a component of the Company's continuing
     operations.  Effective September 30, 1994, the Company's $74 million
     investment in XFSLIC common stock has been reclassified on the 
     consolidated balance sheet as a component of net assets of discontinued
     operations. This reclassification is the result of Xerox Financial 
     Services, Inc.'s decision to disengage from XFSLIC and, as a 
     consequence, the Company's investment in XFSLIC is expected to be 
     disposed of within one year.  The Company is expected to receive book 
     value upon ultimate disposition of this investment.
 
     Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.

 (2) During the first nine months of 1994, the Company sold an aggregate of
     $486 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 third quarter of 1994, the Company repaid, at maturity, $175
     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 pursuant to which the Company purchases long-term accounts 
receivable associated with Xerox' sold equipment.  Earned income from 
contracts receivable for the third quarter of 1994 was $91 million versus $87 
million in the corresponding period in 1993, and for the nine-month periods 
ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, was $273 million and $282 million, 
respectively.  The decrease in earned income for the nine-month period is 
primarily attributable to lower interest earned on Xerox' contracts 
receivable resulting from an overall decline in interest rates.

      Third quarter interest expense was $52 million in 1994 and 1993.  For
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1994, interest expense decreased 
to $154 million from $161 million in 1993.  This decrease resulted from
overall 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 $2 million for the third
quarter of 1994 and $4 million for the third quarter of 1993.  For the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, operating and administrative
expenses totaled $9 million and $10 million, respectively.  These expenses
primarily represent the costs associated with the administration of contracts
receivable purchased from Xerox.

       The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1994 was 40.5
percent compared to 41.9 percent for the same period in 1993. The decrease is
primarily due to a cumulative adjustment in the third quarter of 1993 
reflecting the change in the corporate federal income tax rate from 34 percent
to 35 percent. The nine-month effective income tax rate for continuing 
operations for 1994 was 40.9 percent, approximately the same as for 1993.  

			 Discontinued Operations

      Since their discontinuance in 1990, the Company has 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 September 30, 1994, the Company remains
contingently liable for approximately $70 million of receivables under
recourse provisions associated with the securitization transactions.

     During the first nine-months of 1994, the Company reduced its net assets
of discontinued operations by approximately $43 million, primarily through
contractual maturities.  The related net proceeds were largely used to repay
short-term indebtedness.

      Since approximately $117 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.

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

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

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

      At September 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.

      Cash provided by operating activities was $35 million in the first 
nine months of 1994 compared to $32 million of cash usage during the same 
period in 1993. The change is primarily due to the smaller decrease in 
deferred income taxes in 1994 versus 1993, resulting from fewer sales of
certain passive lease receivables.

      Overall, cash of $37 million was provided by investing activities during
the first nine months of 1994, compared with $62 million during the same 
period in 1993. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities is 
principally the result of lower net collections from discontinued operations 
offset by higher collections of investments.

      Cash used in financing activities was $71 million in the first nine
months of 1994 compared to $30 million during the same period in
1993. This change is largely due to increased dividends and net debt 
repayments.

      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 September 30, 1994, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 
6.42 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

     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.
