              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
:ehp3.

1.   In the opinion of the management of IBM Credit Corporation (the
     Company), all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
     unaudited results for the three-month periods have been made.
     These adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

2.   The ratio of earnings to fixed charges, calculated in accordance
     with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission requirements,
     was 2.28 and 1.98 for the three months ended March 31, 1994
     and 1993, respectively.

3.   Related Party Transactions:

     The Company provides capital equipment financing to International
     Business Machines Corporation (IBM) affiliated companies for
     both IBM and non-IBM products.  During the first three months
     of 1994, the Company originated $60.4 million of such financing,
     compared with $11.6 million for the first three months of 1993.
     These financings are included primarily in the Company's
     operating lease portfolio.

     The Company borrowed $300 million from IBM in the first quarter
     of 1994.  The borrowing is at market terms and conditions.


4.   Subsequent Events:

     On April 5, 1994, the Company and Fleet Financial Group (Fleet)
     announced that a Fleet bank subsidiary had agreed in principle
     to purchase 100 percent of the stock of IBM Credit Investment
     Management Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
     Company that provides investment management and administrative
     services for the IBM Mutual Funds.  It is anticipated that this
     transaction will also result in the redemption of the IBM Money
     Market Account notes, which are currently a source of short-term
     funding for the Company.  These transactions are expected to
     be completed in the second quarter of 1994.

     On April 20, 1994, the amount the Company was authorized to
     borrow increased from $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion under a
     $10.0 billion IBM Global Credit Facility.  The Company has
     not drawn any amounts under this credit facility.

     On April 29, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared
     a $145 million dividend, payable to IBM on May 25, 1994.

earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1994 were $59.1 million,
yielding an annualized return on average equity of 22.2 percent.




:hp3.FINANCING ORIGINATED:ehp3.

The  Company  originated  financing  for  $2.1  billion  of equipment,
software and services in the first three months of 1994, compared with
$1.7 billion in the same 1993 period.  Capital equipment financing for
end users decreased by 8 percent to $557.0 million.   The decrease  in
capital  equipment  financing  originated  is  primarily the result of
fewer IBM shipments in the first three months of  1994  compared  with
the  same 1993 period, offset in part by an increase in the proportion
of IBM products and services financed by the Company.  Working capital
financing for dealers and remarketers of information industry products
increased by  48  percent  to  $1,579.0  million.    This  improvement
reflects   increased   shipments   of   IBM's  personal  computer  and
workstation products during the first three months  of  1994  compared
with  the  same 1993 period, as well as the Company's on-going efforts
to provide working capital financing that  meets  the  full  range  of
financing requirements of IBM authorized resellers.

Capital  equipment  financings  for  end  users comprises purchases of
$321.1 million of information handling  systems  from  IBM,  financing
originated   for  installment  receivables  of  $31.9  million,  other
financing primarily for IBM software and services  of  $50.2  million,
installment  and  lease  financing  for  state  and  local  government
customers of $69.1 million for the account of IBM, and other financing
of $84.7 million for equipment  and  services,  as  well  as  selected
complementary  non-IBM  equipment  that  meets  IBM  customers'  total
solution requirements.   The purchases  of  $321.1  million  from  IBM
consisted  of  $241.7 million for capital leases and $79.4 million for
operating leases.

:HP3.REMARKETING ACTIVITIES:EHP3.

In  addition  to originating new financing, the Company remarkets used
IBM  equipment.    This  equipment  is  primarily  sourced  from   the
termination  of lease transactions and is generally remarketed through
retail channels  in  cooperation  with  the  IBM  sales  force.    The
equipment is leased to end users or sold outright.  These transactions
may  be  with  existing lessees or, when equipment is returned, with a
new customer.   At  March  31,  1994,  the  investment  in  remarketed
equipment  on  capital  and operating leases totaled $573.1 million, a
decrease of 8 percent from the  1993  year-end  investment  of  $619.8
million.    Included  in remarketing activities are income from leases
and gross profit on equipment sales, net of the reduction in income to
recognize  the  write-down  in  residual  values  of  certain   leased
equipment.    The  remarketing contributions amounted to $37.2 million
for the first three months of 1994, an increase of 21 percent compared
with $30.8 million for the same 1993 period.

:hp3.ASSETS:ehp3.

Total assets decreased to $9.5 billion at  March  31,  1994,  compared
with  $10.0  billion at December 31, 1993.  This decrease is primarily
the result of cash collections on loans, capital lease investments and
working capital financing receivables exceeding financings  originated
during the first quarter of 1994.

Approximately  80  percent  of the Company's total assets at March 31,
1994 related to the financing of IBM products and services.


:hp3.LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY:ehp3.

The assets of the business were financed with $6,573.5 million of debt
at March  31,  1994.    Total  debt,  which  includes  short-term  and
long-term  debt,  increased by $66.0 million, from $6,507.5 million at
December 31, 1993. This increase was primarily the result of increases
in commercial paper outstanding of $307.7 million and short-term  debt
of  $300.0  million,  payable  to  IBM  and  having  market  terms and
conditions, offset in part by decreases in long-term  debt  of  $138.6
million,  floating and fixed medium-term notes of $96.1 million, and a
matured $300.0 million bond.

                                 -6-



















At  March  31, 1994, the Company had available $1.7 billion of a shelf
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This  shelf
registration  allows  the Company to quickly access domestic financial
markets.   In addition, a subsidiary  of  the  Company  had  available
$750.0  million  of  a  separate  shelf  registration for asset backed
securities.   The Company also  has  a  commercial  paper  program,  a
medium-term  note  program,  and  the  IBM  money market program.   As
described in note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,  it
is  anticipated  that  the  Company  will  redeem the IBM Money Market
Account notes in the second quarter  of  1994.    The  Company  is  an
authorized  borrower  of  up to $1.6 billion under a $10.0 billion IBM
Global  Credit  Facility  (as  described  in  note  4  of   Notes   to
Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  the  authorization was increased
from $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion  on  April  20,  1994),  and  has  a
liquidity  agreement  with IBM for $500.0 million.  The Company has no
borrowings outstanding under the credit  facility  and  the  liquidity
agreement.   The Company also has the option, as approved by the Board
of Directors on July 29, 1993, to sell, assign, pledge, or transfer up
to an additional $2.6 billion  of  assets  to  third  parties  through
December  31, 1994.  These financing sources, along with the Company's
internally generated cash,  medium-term  note,  and  commercial  paper
programs, provide the flexibility to the Company to grow its lease and
loan portfolio, service debt, and fund working capital requirements.

Amounts  due  to  IBM  Corporation  and affiliates decreased by $446.9
million to $812.6 million at March 31, 1994, from $1,259.5 million  at
December 31, 1993.  This reduction was primarily attributable to lower
volume of capital equipment purchases from IBM in the first quarter of
1994,  compared with the fourth quarter of 1993 and the payment to IBM
of $254.0 million of current  tax  liability.    Amounts  due  to  IBM
Corporation  and  affiliates  represent  trade  payables  arising from
purchases of equipment for term leases  and  installment  receivables,
working capital financing receivables for dealers and remarketers, and
software  license fees, with payment terms comparable to those offered
to other IBM customers.  Also included in due to IBM  Corporation  and
affiliates  are  income taxes currently payable under the intercompany
tax allocation agreement.

Total stockholder's equity at March 31,  1994  was  $1,059.8  million,
down  $90.9  million from year-end 1993.  The decline in stockholder's
equity reflects the payment of a $150.0 million dividend to IBM in the
first quarter of 1994, offset by net earnings of $59.1 million for the
quarter.

At March 31, 1994, the Company's  debt  to  equity  ratio  was  6.2:1,
compared with 5.7:1 at year-end 1993, and 6.8:1 at March 31, 1993.

                                 -7-


















:hp3.TOTAL CASH PROVIDED BEFORE DIVIDENDS:ehp3.

Total  cash  provided before dividends was $88.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1994, compared with $257.7 million for the same
1993 period.   Cash and cash equivalents at  March  31,  1994  totaled
$548.5  million, a decrease of $61.4 million compared with the balance
at December 31, 1993.

Total cash provided before dividends reflects $201.3 million  of  cash
provided  by  investing  and  financing  activities, reduced by $112.7
million of cash used in operating activities.

:hp3.INCOME FROM LEASES:ehp3.

Income from leases decreased by 20 percent to $128.4 million  for  the
three  months  ended  March 31, 1994, from $160.1 million for the same
period in 1993.  The decline is the result of the  securitization  and
sale  of  capital  leases  during  the  fourth  quarter of 1993, and a
decrease in financing originated  during  1993  and  the  first  three
months of 1994.

Income  from  leases  includes lease income resulting from remarketing
transactions. For the three months ended March 31, 1994,  this  income
increased  16  percent  from the comparable 1993 period.  Lease income
from remarketing  transactions  amounted  to  $24.6  million  for  the
three-month period ended March 31, 1994.

On a periodic basis, the Company reassesses the future residual values
of  its  portfolio  of leases.   In accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles,  anticipated  increases  in  specific   future
residual values may not be recognized before realization, and are thus
a  source  of  potential  future  profits.    Anticipated decreases in
specific  future  residual  values,  considered  to  be   other   than
temporary, must be recognized currently.

A  review  of the Company's $700.0 million residual value portfolio at
March 31, 1994, indicated that the overall estimated future  value  of
the  portfolio  continues  to  be  greater  than  the  value currently
recorded.   No declines  in  the  future  residual  values  of  leased
equipment  were  identified,  nor  reductions  recorded,  in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with a $7.0 million reduction to income from
leases to recognize declines in the same 1993 period.

:hp3.INCOME FROM LOANS:ehp3.

Income from loans decreased by 33 percent to  $21.1  million  for  the
three  months  ended March 31, 1994, compared with the respective 1993
period.  This decline was primarily the result of  the  securitization
and sale of loans during the fourth quarter of 1993, and a decrease in
financing originated during 1993 and the first quarter of 1994.

<PAGE 11>



                                 -8-














:hp3.INCOME FROM WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING:ehp3.

Income  from  working  capital financing increased 33 percent to $30.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1994, compared with $23.0
million in the same period in 1993.  This increase was  primarily  due
to  generally  higher interest rates charged and growth in the size of
the average working capital financing receivables  outstanding  during
the  first  three  months of 1994, compared with the same 1993 period,
despite the securitization and sale of  such  receivables  during  the
fourth  quarter of 1993.  The growth reflects increased volumes of IBM
personal computer and workstation products  financed  by  the  Company
throughout  the  first  quarter of 1994, as well as an increase in the
volume of financing provided for non-IBM products  for  IBM-authorized
resellers.

:hp3.EQUIPMENT SALES:ehp3.

Equipment  sales  amounted  to $150.5 million for the first quarter of
1994, compared with $164.7  million  for  the  same  period  in  1993.
Included   in  these  amounts  is  revenue  from  outright  sales  and
sales-type leases of  Company-owned  equipment  with  either  existing
lessees or, when equipment is returned, with a new customer.

Gross  profit  on  equipment  sales  for the first quarter of 1994 was
$12.4 million, a decrease of 25 percent compared with  the  same  1993
period.  The gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1994 was 8.3
percent,  down  from 10.1 percent for the first quarter of 1993 and up
from 7.6 percent for the 1993 full year.  This decrease from the first
quarter of 1993 reflects reduced equipment sales, as  well  as  higher
refurbishment charges.

:hp3.OTHER INCOME:ehp3.

Other  income  increased  by 11 percent to $29.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1994.

Included in other income is interest income earned on  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  fees  for  managing  IBM's  state  and  local government
installment and lease financing receivables portfolio,  and  fees  for
the servicing of financing receivables sold.


:hp3.TOTAL FINANCE AND OTHER INCOME:ehp3.

For  the  three  months  ended March 31, 1994, total finance and other
income decreased by 11 percent to $360.1 million,  compared  with  the
same 1993 period.  The decline was largely due to reductions in income
from  leases,  income  from  loans  and  equipment  sales,  offset  by
increases in income from working capital financing and other income.

                                 -9-













:hp3.INTEREST EXPENSE:ehp3.

Interest  expense  declined  as the Company's average outstanding debt
decreased and the average cost of debt was reduced.  Interest  expense
decreased  by  20  percent to $75.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1994, compared with $93.9 million for  the  same  period  in
1993.    The Company's year-to-date average cost of debt through March
31, 1994, decreased to 4.66 percent from 4.91  percent  for  the  same
period in 1993.

:hp3.SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:ehp3.

Selling,  general,  and administrative expenses were $40.2 million for
the first quarter of 1994, a decrease of 21 percent compared with  the
same  1993 period.   The decrease is a direct result of the continuing
efforts to manage expenses and  reflects  savings  realized  from  the
Company's  actions  in  the  second  quarter  of  1993  to  reduce its
infrastructure and bring its resources in  line  with  current  market
conditions.

:hp3.PROVISION FOR RECEIVABLE LOSSES:ehp3.

The  Company's  portfolio  of  capital  equipment  leases and loans is
predominantly with investment grade customers.  The Company  generally
takes  a  security  interest in any underlying equipment financed. The
portfolio  is  diversified  by  geography,  industry  and   individual
unaffiliated  customer.    Working  capital  financing receivables are
secured by the underlying inventory and accounts receivable  financed.
The  provision for receivable losses decreased to $9.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994, compared with $19.6 million for the same
period in 1993.  This decrease reflects the reduction in the amount of
capital equipment financed for the first three months of 1994  and  an
economic  environment  that  continues to improve.   Additionally, the
Company continues  to  effectively  manage  credit  risk  and  contain
losses.


:hp3.NET EARNINGS:ehp3.

Net earnings increased to $59.1 million for the first quarter of 1994,
compared with $58.3 million for the same 1993 period.

The  Company's expanding working capital financing business, large and
profitable  capital  equipment  remarketing  operations,  credit  risk
management,  lower  average  cost of borrowing, and the containment of
operating expenses contributed to the favorable performance during the
first quarter of 1994.

<PAGE 13>
:hp3.RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY:ehp3.

The  results  for the first three months of 1994 yielded an annualized
return on average equity of 22.2 percent, compared with  20.2  percent
for the comparable 1993 period.

:hp3.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD:ehp3.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of   Financial  Accounting  Standards  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Investments in Debt  and  Equity  Securities,"  which  prescribes  the
accounting  for  debt  and  equity  securities  held as assets.   This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after  December  15,
1993.

The  Company  implemented  this  statement, effective January 1, 1994.
The implementation had no material impact to the  Company's  financial
position and results of operations.

:hp3.CLOSING DISCUSSION:ehp3.

The  Company's  resources  continue  to  be sufficient to enable it to
carry out its mission of supporting customers in their acquisition  of
IBM  products  and  services  by  providing competitive financing, and
contributing to the growth and stability of IBM earnings.
