                        IBM CREDIT CORPORATION

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

In  the opinion of management of IBM Credit Corporation (the Company),
all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results  for  the
three-  and  six-month  periods are reflected in the unaudited interim
financial statements presented.   These adjustments are  of  a  normal
recurring nature.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES:

The  ratio of earnings to fixed charges, calculated in accordance with
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission requirements,  was  2.10
and   2.35   for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1995  and  1994,
respectively.

ACQUISITION OF CHRYSLER SYSTEMS INC.:

On February 8, 1995, the  Company  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and
outstanding  stock  of  Chrysler  Systems  Inc.  and  certain  of  its
affiliates for  $133.5  million.    The  acquisition  was  consummated
pursuant   to   a  share  purchase  agreement  with  certain  Chrysler
Corporation subsidiaries (the Seller).  The purchase price was  funded
by  the  Company's  cash on hand and credits issued to the Seller that
are to be applied against certain future obligations to  the  Company.
IBM  CS  Systems,  Inc.,  as the company is now known, buys, sells and
leases data processing  equipment,  and  provides  related  technology
management   services   such   as   equipment  procurement  and  asset
management.  The transaction was accounted for as a purchase  and  IBM
CS  Systems, Inc.  is included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements from the date of acquisition.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company provides capital equipment financing at  market  rates  to
International  Business  Machines  Corporation  (IBM)  and  affiliated
companies for IBM and non-IBM products.  During the first  six  months
of  1995,  the  Company  originated  $159.6 million of such financing,
compared with  $82.3  million  for  the  first  six  months  of  1994.
Included  in  the Company's lease and loan portfolio was approximately
$887.7 million and $927.2  million,  related  to  IBM  and  affiliated
companies,  at  June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  Of
these amounts, $833.9 million and $752.1 million were included in  the
Company's  operating lease portfolio at June 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994, respectively.  The pre-tax income earned from  operating  leases
to  IBM  and  affiliated  companies,  net of depreciation expense, was
approximately $45.5 million and $19.8 million in  the  first  half  of
1995 and the first half of 1994, respectively.

million, yielding an annualized  return  on  average  equity  of  23.1
percent.

FINANCING ORIGINATED

In  the  first  six  months  of  1995,  the Company originated capital
equipment financing for end users of $2,151.4 million, an  87  percent
increase  from  $1,150.8  million  for the same 1994 period.   For the
first half of 1995, originations  of  working  capital  financing  for
dealers  and remarketers of information industry products increased by
43 percent to $4,560.8 million, from $3,193.0 million  for  the  first
half of 1994.

The  growth  in  capital  equipment financing originated is related to
IBM's increase in placements of  its  products  and  services  in  the
United  States  throughout the first six months of 1995, compared with
the same 1994 period.  Furthermore, the percentage of such  placements
that  were  financed  by  the  Company  during  the first half of 1995
increased, compared with the same 1994 period.

Capital equipment financings for  end  users  comprised  purchases  of
$1,388.9  million  of information handling systems from IBM, financing
originated for installment receivables of $69.1 million, financing for
IBM software and services of $315.9  million,  installment  and  lease
financing  for  state and local government customers of $158.0 million
for the account of IBM, and other financing of $219.5 million for  IBM
equipment,  as  well  as selected complementary non-IBM equipment that
meets IBM customers' total solution requirements.   The  purchases  of
$1,388.9  million  from  IBM  consisted  of $919.4 million for capital
leases and $469.5 million for operating leases.

The growth in working capital financing originations  reflects  volume
increases  in both IBM's workstation products and non-IBM products for
remarketers financed by the Company throughout the first six months of
1995.   Working capital financing  receivables  arise  primarily  from
secured  inventory  and  accounts  receivable  financing  for  IBM and
non-IBM dealers and remarketers.  Payment terms for inventory  secured
financing  average  45  days.    Payment terms for accounts receivable
secured financing typically range from 30 days to 180 days.

REMARKETING ACTIVITIES

In  addition  to originating new financing, the Company remarkets used
IBM  equipment.    This  equipment  is  primarily  sourced  from   the
conclusion  of  lease  transactions  and  is  typically  remarketed in
cooperation with the IBM sales force.    The  equipment  is  generally
leased  or sold to end users.  These transactions may be with existing
lessees or, when equipment is returned, with new customers.   At  June
30,  1995,  the  investment  in  remarketed  equipment  on capital and
operating  leases  totaled  $626.4  million,   remaining   essentially
unchanged  from  the  1994  year-end  investment  of  $623.7  million.
Remarketing activities comprises income from  remarketed  capital  and
operating   leases  and  gross  profit  on  equipment  sales,  net  of
write-downs in residual values of certain leased  equipment.    Income
from  leases on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings includes income
from such remarketed leases.   For the three  months  ended  June  30,
1995,  the remarketing activities contributed $40.2 million to pre-tax
income, remaining essentially unchanged from the $40.0 million for the
same 1994  period.    The  remarketing  activities  contributed  $78.7
million  to  pre-tax  income  for  the  first  six  months of 1995, an
increase of 2 percent compared with $77.2 million for  the  same  1994
period.

ASSETS

Total  assets  increased  to  $10.4 billion at June 30, 1995, compared
with $9.7 billion at December 31, 1994.   This increase  is  primarily
the  result  of  financings  originated  exceeding cash collections on
capital  leases,  loans  receivable  and  working  capital   financing
receivables, and growth in investment in equipment on operating leases
during the first six months of 1995, offset in part by payments to IBM
of  cash  and  non-cash  dividends of $146.4 million and a current tax
liability of $245.4 million.

Marketable securities, presented  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of
Financial  Position at amortized cost which approximates market value,
included bank certificates of deposit of $8.8  million  and  corporate
debt  securities  of  $48.6  million  at  June 30, 1995.   The Company
intends to hold these securities to maturity.

LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

The assets of the business were financed with $6,929.3 million of debt
at June 30, 1995.  Total short-term and long-term  debt  increased  by
approximately  $990.4  million,  from $5,938.9 million at December 31,
1994. This increase was the result of increases  in  commercial  paper
outstanding  of  $1,171.5  million  and other short-term debt of $18.1
million, offset by decreases in medium-term notes of $19.1 million and
long-term debt of $180.1 million.  Included in long-term debt at  June
30,  1995, and December 31, 1994, was $125.0 million payable to IBM at
market terms and conditions, maturing on November 1, 1997.

The Company has available $2.1 billion of a  shelf  registration  with
the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  for  the  issuance of debt
securities.  This shelf registration allows the Company  rapid  access
to  domestic  financial  markets.    In  addition, a subsidiary of the
Company has available $450.0 million of a separate shelf  registration
for  asset  backed securities.   The Company also has commercial paper
and medium-term note programs.
                                 -6-

LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY  (continued)

The  Company  is  an authorized borrower of up to $3.0 billion under a
$10.0  billion  IBM  committed  global  credit  facility,  and  has  a
liquidity  agreement  with IBM for $500.0 million.  The Company has no
borrowings outstanding under the committed global credit  facility  or
the liquidity agreement.  The Company also has the option, as approved
by  the  Board  of  Directors  on September 30, 1994, to sell, assign,
pledge or transfer up to $4.0  billion  of  assets  to  third  parties
through  December  31,  1995.   During the fourth quarter of 1994, the
Company and IBM signed master  loan  agreements  providing  additional
funding  flexibility  to  each  other.    These  agreements  allow for
short-term (up to 270-day) funding, made available at market terms and
conditions, upon the request of either the Company or IBM.  There  are
no  borrowings  outstanding  under these agreements.   These financing
sources, along  with  the  Company's  internally  generated  cash  and
medium-term note and commercial paper programs, provide flexibility to
the  Company  to  grow  its  lease and loan portfolio, to fund working
capital requirements and to service debt.

The Company uses currency related and interest rate related agreements
to lower costs of  funding  its  business,  to  diversify  sources  of
funding,  or  to  manage  interest rate and currency exposures arising
from mismatches between assets and liabilities.   The  Company  enters
into  such  financial  instruments  solely for hedging purposes.   The
Company does not enter into such financial instrument transactions for
trading  or  other  speculative  purposes.    The  Company   routinely
evaluates   existing   and  potential  counterparty  credit  exposures
associated with such financial instrument transactions to ensure  that
these exposures remain within credit guidelines.  The Company does not
anticipate  any  material  adverse  effect  on  its financial position
resulting from its use of these instruments, nor  does  it  anticipate
nonperformance by any of its counterparties.

Due  to  IBM Corporation and affiliates decreased by $257.1 million to
$1,236.3 million at June 30, 1995, from $1,493.4 million  at  December
31, 1994.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the current tax
liability  payment  of $245.4 million made to IBM in the first half of
1995.  Due to IBM Corporation and affiliates includes amounts of 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,  typically  with
terms  comparable  to those offered to other IBM customers, unless the
Company is participating in IBM product promotions.  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 June 30,  1995,  was  $1,096.7  million,
down  approximately  $24.5 million from year-end 1994.  The decline in
stockholder's equity reflects the payments of $145.0 million  in  cash
dividends  and  $1.4 million in non-cash dividends to IBM in the first
half of 1995, offset by net earnings of $121.9 million for  the  first
half of 1995.

At  June  30,  1995,  the  Company's  debt-to-equity  ratio was 6.3:1,
compared with 5.3:1 at year-end 1994, and 6.3:1 at June 30, 1994.
                                 -7-

TOTAL CASH PROVIDED BEFORE DIVIDENDS

Total  cash  provided  before  dividends was $53.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, compared with $217.6 million for the  same
1994  period.    Total  cash provided before dividends reflects $474.3
million of cash used in  investing  and  financing  activities  before
dividends,  offset  by  $527.4  million  of cash provided by operating
activities for the first half of 1995.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995, totaled $522.4 million,  a
decrease  of  $91.9  million compared with the balance at December 31,
1994.

INCOME FROM LEASES

Income from leases decreased 2 percent to $115.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995, from $117.9  million  for  the  same  1994
period;  for  the  six  months ended June 30, 1995, income from leases
decreased 7 percent to $228.2 million, from  $246.3  million  for  the
same  1994  period.    These  declines  partially  resulted from lower
average asset balances in the capital lease portfolio, which  in  turn
were  primarily caused by the securitization and sale of capital lease
receivables in the third quarter of 1994.    The  income  from  leases
recognized  by  IBM  CS  Systems, Inc. partially offsets this decline.
Income from leases includes lease income  resulting  from  remarketing
transactions.    Lease  income from remarketing transactions was $20.1
million and $45.3 million for the  three-  and  six-month  periods  of
1995,  a  decrease of 17 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from the
comparable 1994 periods.

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 $595.8 million residual value portfolio at
June 30, 1995, indicated that the overall estimated  future  value  of
the  portfolio  continues  to  be  greater  than  the  value currently
recorded.  The Company recorded a $6.0  million  reduction  to  income
from  leases  during the second quarter of 1995 to recognize decreases
in the expected future residual value of  specific  leased  equipment.
No reductions were recorded in the first quarter of 1995 nor the first
half of 1994.

INCOME FROM LOANS

Income  from loans increased 14 percent to $27.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995; for the first half of  1995,  income  from
loans  increased  20  percent  to  $53.7  million,  compared  with the
respective 1994 periods.  These increases were primarily the result of
an increase in financing originated for software and  services  during
1994 and the first six months of 1995.  These increases were partially
offset by the securitization and sale of loan receivables in the third
quarter of 1994.
                                 -8-











<PAGE 11>
INCOME FROM WORKING CAPITAL FINANCING

Income  from  working  capital financing increased 91 percent to $56.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1995,  compared  with  the
same  1994  period;  for  the  first half of 1995, income from working
capital financing increased 79 percent  to  $108.0  million,  compared
with  the  respective 1994 period.  These increases were primarily due
to  growth  in  the  average  working  capital  financing  receivables
outstanding  and  generally  higher  interest rates charged during the
first six months of 1995, compared with the same  1994  period.    The
growth  in  average  working capital financing receivables outstanding
primarily  reflects  increased  originations  as  discussed   in   the
"Financing Originated" section.

EQUIPMENT SALES

Equipment  sales  amounted to $131.0 million for the second quarter of
1995, compared with $161.3 million for the same period  in  1994;  for
the  first  six  months  of  1995,  equipment sales amounted to $245.1
million, compared with $311.9 million for the comparable 1994  period.
The  revenue  associated  with outright sales and sales-type leases is
included in equipment sales.  Company-owned equipment may be  sold  or
released  to  existing  lessees or, when equipment is returned, to new
customers.

Gross profit on equipment sales for the second  quarter  of  1995  was
$26.2  million, an increase of 65 percent, compared with $15.9 million
for the same 1994 period.  For the first six months of 1995, the gross
profit on equipment sales  increased  39  percent  to  $39.4  million,
compared  with  $28.3  million  for  the same 1994 period.   The gross
profit margin for the second quarter of 1995 was 20.0 percent, up from
9.8 percent for the second quarter of 1994; for the first  six  months
of  1995,  the gross profit margin increased to 16.1 percent, compared
with 9.1 percent for the same 1994 period.  These increases are partly
due  to  higher  margins   realized   on   high-end   processors   and
communication  devices  during  the first six months of 1995, compared
with the same 1994 period, because of  market  demand  which  exceeded
supply during the applicable period.

OTHER INCOME

Other  income  decreased  40  percent  to  $30.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995; for the six months ended  June  30,  1995,
other  income  decreased 20 percent to $63.8 million.  These decreases
are largely attributable to the recognition of a $13.3 million pre-tax
gain on the sale  of  IBM  Credit  Investment  Management  Corporation
during  the  second  quarter  of  1994 and a decrease in servicing fee
income during the 1995 period, compared with the 1994 period.    These
items  were partially offset by a $4.3 million pre-tax gain recognized
on the sale of financing assets during the second quarter of 1995, and
a $5.0 million pre-tax gain  the  Company  recognized  upon  Comdisco,
Inc.'s  redemption  of the convertible subordinated promissory note on
March 1, 1995.

Included in other income is interest income earned on  cash  and  cash
equivalents  and  notes,  as well as fees for managing IBM's state and
local  government  installment   and   lease   financing   receivables
portfolio, and fees for the servicing of financing receivables sold.
                                 -9-










<PAGE 12>
INTEREST EXPENSE

As  a  result  of rising interest rates, interest expense increased 24
percent to $94.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995, and
19 percent to $180.9 million for the six months ended June  30,  1995,
compared  with  the  same  1994  periods.   The Company's year-to-date
average cost of debt through June 30, 1995, increased to 5.94 percent,
from 4.76 percent for the same period in 1994.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $43.0  million  for
the second quarter of 1995, an increase of 8 percent compared with the
same 1994 period.  For the first six months of 1995, selling, general,
and administrative expenses increased 5 percent to $83.9 million, from
$80.0 million for the same 1994 period.  These increases are primarily
a  result  of  the expenses incurred by IBM CS Systems, Inc. since the
acquisition date.

PROVISION FOR RECEIVABLE LOSSES

The Company's portfolio of  capital  equipment  leases  and  loans  is
predominantly  with investment grade customers.  The Company generally
retains ownership or takes  a  security  interest  in  any  underlying
equipment   financed.  The  portfolio  is  diversified  by  geography,
industry, and individual unaffiliated customer.

With the continued growth of the Company's working  capital  financing
business in 1994 and the first half of 1995, the concentration of such
financings  for  certain  large dealers and remarketers of information
industry products  has  become  more  significant.    Such  loans  are
typically  collateralized  by the inventory and accounts receivable of
the dealers and remarketers.  The Company does not believe  that  this
risk  will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or
results of operations.

The provision for receivable losses increased to $13.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared with $11.9 million for the  same
period in 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the provision
for  receivable losses increased to $27.3 million, compared with $20.9
million for the comparable period in 1994.   These  increases  reflect
the  growth  in  the  amount  of capital equipment and working capital
financing originated during the first  half  of  1995,  the  Company's
timely  recognition  of  probable  receivable  losses, and its revised
estimate of the recoverability of specific receivables.
                                 -10-























<PAGE 13>
NET EARNINGS

Net  earnings  decreased  4  percent  to  $63.9 million for the second
quarter of 1995, compared with $66.4 million for the  same  period  in
1994.

Net  earnings  for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1995, were $121.9
million, a decrease of 3 percent from the same period in 1994.

The decrease  in  net  earnings  for  1995,  compared  with  1994,  is
primarily  attributable  to  the recognition of a one-time gain on the
sale of IBM Credit Investment Management Corporation during the second
quarter of 1994.  Despite this slight decline  in  net  earnings,  the
Company's  working  capital  financing  business expanded, its capital
equipment remarketing operations continued to be  profitable  and  its
loan   and   lease   portfolios  grew,  contributing  to  a  favorable
performance during the second quarter and first half of 1995.

RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY

The results for the first six months of  1995  yielded  an  annualized
return  on  average equity of 23.1 percent, compared with 24.6 percent
for the comparable 1994 period.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  114,  "Accounting  by   Creditors   for
Impairment  of  a  Loan,"  in  May  1993  and SFAS 118, "Accounting by
Creditors  for  Impairment   of   a   Loan--Income   Recognition   and
Disclosures,"  an  amendment  of  SFAS  114,  in October 1994.   These
standards prescribe impairment measurements and reporting  related  to
certain loans.

The  Company  implemented  SFAS 114 and SFAS 118, effective January 1,
1995.   The implementation had no material  impact  on  the  Company's
financial position and results of operations.

CLOSING DISCUSSION

The  Company's  resources  continue  to  be sufficient to enable it to
carry out its mission of offering customers  competitive  leasing  and
financing   and  providing  information  technology  remarketers  with
inventory and accounts receivable financing, which contribute  to  the
growth and stability of IBM earnings.
