                           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, 1995 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.

     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the
     current year presentation.

(2)  During the first six months of 1996, the Company redeemed the following
     notes (in millions):

     At Maturity
     6.25% Notes                      $ 200
     5.27% Notes                         25
     5.28% Notes                         25
     5.20% Notes                         50
     Variable Rate Notes              $ 235

     Prior to Maturity, at par
     10.125% Notes                     $150
     Variable Rate Notes                 50

     Total debt redeemed               $735

(3)  During the six months of 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of
     $500 million in principal amount of medium-term notes.  Of this amount,
     $200 million are floating rate notes which mature in 1998 and bear an
     interest rate based on a spread to the U.S. Federal Funds Rate.  Of the
     remaining $300 million, $150 million are fixed-rate notes which mature
     in 1997 and 2001, and $150 are fixed-rate Euronotes which mature in 
     1999.  The interest rates on all of this debt have been swapped into 
     commercial paper or Libor-based rates.

(4)  The terms of a Support Agreement with Xerox provide that the Company
     will receive from Xerox income maintenance payments, to the extent
     necessary, so that the Company's earnings shall not be less than 1.25 
     times its fixed charges. For purposes of this calculation, both 
     earnings and fixed charges are as defined in Section 1404 (formerly 
     Section 81(2)) of the New York Insurance Law.  In addition, the 
     agreement requires that Xerox retain 100 percent ownership of the 
     Company's voting capital stock.

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.  The Company purchases from 
Xerox all contract receivables due from the Federal Government and commercial 
customers.  These receivables arise primarily from Xerox equipment sold under 
installment sales and sales-type leases.  New receivables are purchased 
monthly.  The purchase price of the receivables is calculated as the present 
value of the future cash flows.  The interest rate utilized to discount the 
cash flows is determined by certain referenced interest rates plus a 
prescribed spread.  The interest rate utilized for the cost calculation is 
adjusted monthly as each new portfolio of receivables is purchased.  

      Earned income from contracts receivable for the second quarter of 1996 
was $85 million versus $88 million in the corresponding period in 1995, and 
$173 million and $180 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 
and 1995, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to a smaller portfolio 
of contracts receivable at June 30, 1996 than at June 30, 1995 and a 
reduction in the interest rate spread on purchased contracts.  The smaller 
portfolio is primarily due to relatively lower equipment sales by Xerox in 
the second half of 1995 resulting from a realignment of the Xerox United 
States Customer Operations sales force. 

      Second quarter interest expense decreased to $51 million in 1996 from 
$55 million in the same period in 1995.  For the six-month period ended June
30, 1996, interest expense decreased to $103 million from $108 million in
1995.   This decrease is principally attributable to a reduction in total 
debt related to the smaller portfolio size.

     Since substantially all of the Company's contracts receivable earn fixed 
rates of interest, the Company "match funds" the contracts by swapping 
variable-rate commercial paper and medium term notes into fixed rates of 
interest for specified maturities.  This process is employed because it 
effectively "locks in" a spread and eliminates the risk of shrinking interest 
margins in a rising interest rate environment.  Conversely, this practice 
effectively eliminates the opportunity to increase margins when interest 
rates are declining.  The Company intends to continue to match its contracts 
receivable and indebtedness in order to ensure an adequate spread between 
interest income and interest expense.

      Operating and administrative expenses were $3 million for the second 
quarter of 1996 and $4 million for the second quarter of 1995. For each of 
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, operating and 
administrative expenses totaled $7 million.  These expenses are primarily the 
costs to administer the contracts receivable purchased from Xerox.

      The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the
first six months of 1996 and 1995, was 41.3 percent and 40.0 percent, 
respectively.

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


                           Discontinued Operations

      Since their discontinuance in 1990, the Company has made substantial 
progress in disengaging from the real estate and third-party financing 
businesses.  Through June 30, 1996, the Company received net cash proceeds of 
$2,458 million from the sale of discontinued business units, asset 
securitizations, sales, and runoff collection activities.  The amounts 
received have been consistent with the Company's estimates in the disposal 
plan and were primarily used to reduce the Company's short-term indebtedness.

     During the first six months of 1996, the Company reduced its net assets 
of discontinued operations by approximately $13 million, primarily through 
contractual maturities and the sale of one of its subsidiaries.

     Since approximately $54 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 continue to be a gradual process.  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, 1996 the Company and Xerox have joint access to a $5 
billion revolving credit agreement with various banks, which expires in 2000 
and is used to support commercial paper issuance.  Any amounts borrowed under 
this facility would be at rates based, at the borrower's option, on spreads 
above certain reference rates such as Libor and Federal funds rates.

     At June 30, 1996, the Company had registered domestic shelf debt 
capacity of $1 billion of which $650 million remained unused.  In addition, a 
$2 billion Euro-debt facility is available to both Xerox and the Company of 
which $1,397 million remained unused at June 30, 1996.

      Cash provided by operating activities was $58 million in the first six 
months of 1996, compared to $83 million used in operating activities during 
the same period in 1995.  The change is primarily due to increased  
intercompany receipts in the first half of 1996.

      Cash provided by investing activities was $3 million during the first 
six months of 1996, compared with $81 million provided during the same period 
in 1995.  The change primarily results from increased net purchases of assets 
from Xerox in the first half of 1996 over the first half of 1995.  The 
increase is primarily due to relatively higher equipment sales by Xerox in 
1996 resulting from the stabilization of Xerox United States Customer 
Operations sales force after its 1995 realignment. 

      Cash used in financing activities was $61 million in the first half of 
1996 compared to $3 million provided during the same period in 1995.  The 
proceeds from the higher net collections of intercompany receivables in 1996 
over 1995 were used to reduce debt.

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



      The Company believes that cash provided by continuing operations, cash 
available under its commercial paper program supported by its credit 
facility, and its readily available access to the capital markets are more 
than sufficient for its funding needs.  New borrowing associated with the 
financing of customer purchases of Xerox equipment will continue and 
decisions regarding the size and timing of any new term debt financing will 
be made based on cash flows, refinancing requirements and capital market 
conditions.

     The Company intends to continue to match fund its contracts receivable.  
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, in order to better match the duration of its assets, the 
Company issues variable-rate and fixed-rate medium term notes which are 
swapped to commercial paper or Libor or Libor-based rates.

      As of June 30, 1996, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 6.6 to 1. 
The Company's practice is to maintain a debt-to-equity ratio of approximately 
6.5 to 1.

                             XEROX CREDIT CORPORATION
                COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

       Total fixed charges   103    108      219     202    209    212    200

(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. Debt had been assigned to
     discontinued operations based on the net assets of the discontinued
     operations and the debt to equity ratios that existed at the time the
     assets were acquired. Beginning in 1995, the amount of interest expense 
     that would have been allocated to discontinued operations is 
     insignificant and therefore is now reported within continuing 
     operations.  The discontinued operations consist of the Company's real 
     estate development and related financing operations and its third-party 
     financing 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. Debt has been assigned to discontinued operations based on
     historical levels assigned to the businesses when they were continuing 
     operations adjusted for subsequent paydowns.  The discontinued 
     operations consist of Xerox' Insurance and Other Financial Services 
     businesses and its real estate development and third-party financing 
     businesses.

(2)  Xerox' ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes the effect of,
     Xerox' finance subsidiaries, which primarily finance Xerox equipment.
     Financing businesses are more highly leveraged and, therefore, tend to
     operate at lower earnings to fixed charges ratio levels than do non-
     financial businesses.

*    1993 earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges.  The coverage 
     deficiency was $249 million.

**   Sum of "Income (Loss) before Income Taxes, Equity Income and Minorities'
     Interests" and "Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates."
