                         IBM CREDIT CORPORATION

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements




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.


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
2.28 for the three months ended March 31, 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  both  IBM and non-IBM products.   During the first three
months of 1995, the Company originated $45.5 million of such  financing,
compared  with  $60.4  million  for  the  first  three  months  of 1994.
Included in the Company's lease and  loan  portfolio  was  approximately
$858.2  million  and  $927.2  million,  related  to  IBM  and affiliated
companies, at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,  respectively.    Of
these  amounts,  $745.7  million and $752.1 million were included in the
Company's operating lease portfolio at March 31, 1995 and  December  31,
1994,  respectively.   The pretax income earned from operating leases to
IBM  and  affiliated  companies,  net  of  depreciation   expense,   was
approximately  $19.3  million  and $10.2 million in the first quarter of
1995 and the first quarter of 1994, respectively.

                         IBM CREDIT CORPORATION

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

            OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995, the Company originated
financing for $3.2 billion of equipment, software  and  services.    Net
earnings  for the three months ended March 31, 1995, were $57.9 million,
yielding an annualized return on average equity of 22.3 percent.

As  previously  described  in  the  Notes  to   Consolidated   Financial
Statements,  on February 8, 1995, the Company acquired all of the issued
and outstanding stock of  Chrysler  Systems  Inc.  and  certain  of  its
affiliates.    Refer  to  the  note  on  page 4, Acquisition of Chrysler
Systems Inc., for details.

FINANCING ORIGINATED

The Company originated financing for $3.2 billion of equipment, software
and services in the first three  months  of  1995,  compared  with  $2.1
billion  in  the  same 1994 period.  Capital equipment financing for end
users increased by 88 percent to $1,049.6  million.    The  increase  in
capital  equipment  financing  originated  is  primarily  the  result of
increased placements of new equipment with third-party end users in  the
first quarter of 1995, compared with the first quarter of 1994, together
with 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  36  percent  to  $2,140.2
million.    This  growth  reflects  an  increase in the volumes of IBM's
workstation products financed by the Company throughout the first  three
months  of  1995,  as well as increased volumes of financing provided to
information technology resellers for non-IBM products.

Capital equipment financings for end users comprised purchases of $693.9
million of information handling systems from IBM,  financing  originated
for  installment receivables of $23.1 million, other financing primarily
for IBM software and services of $172.1 million, installment  and  lease
financing  for state and local government customers of $99.4 million for
the account of IBM, and other financing of $61.1 million  for  equipment
and  services,  as well as selected complementary non-IBM equipment that
meets IBM customers' total solution  requirements.    The  purchases  of
$693.9  million  from IBM consisted of $439.8 million for capital leases
and $254.1 million for operating leases.

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 March 31, 1995, the
investment in remarketed  equipment  on  capital  and  operating  leases
totaled  $612.3  million, a decrease of 2 percent from the 1994 year-end
investment of $623.7 million.  Income from leases and  gross  profit  on
equipment sales, net of write-downs in residual values of certain leased
equipment,  are  included in remarketing activities.  Contributions from
remarketing activities amounted to $38.5 million  for  the  first  three
months of 1995, an increase of 3 percent compared with $37.2 million for
the same 1994 period.

ASSETS

Total  assets decreased to $9.6 billion at March 31, 1995, compared with
$9.7 billion at December 31, 1994.    This  decrease  is  primarily  the
result  of payments to IBM of a dividend of $145.0 million and a current
tax liability of $175.0 million, offset in part by financings originated
exceeding cash collections  on  capital  leases,  loans  receivable  and
working  capital  financing receivables during the first three months of
1995.

Marketable  securities,  presented  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of
Financial  Position  at  amortized cost which approximates market value,
included U.S. treasury securities of $108.7 million and  corporate  debt
securities  of  $12.5 million at March 31, 1995.  The Company intends to
hold these securities to maturity.

LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

The assets of the business were financed with $6,205.7 million  of  debt
at  March  31,  1995.   Total short-term and long-term debt increased by
approximately $266.8 million, from  $5,938.9  million  at  December  31,
1994.  This  increase was primarily the result of increases in long-term
debt of $19.3 million, commercial paper outstanding of  $194.7  million,
medium-term  notes  of  $24.7 million and other short-term debt of $28.1
million. Included in long-term debt at March 31, 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 $2.7 billion of a shelf registration with  the
Securities  and Exchange Commission.  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-

















<PAGE 9>
LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY  (continued)

The  Company  is  an  authorized  borrower of up to $1.6 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 fund its lease and loan
portfolio and 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  $193.5  million  to
$1,299.9  million  at  March 31, 1995, from $1,493.4 million at December
31, 1994.  This decrease was primarily attributable to the  current  tax
liability  payment of $175.0 million made to IBM in the first quarter 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 March 31, 1995, was $1,034.2 million, down
approximately  $87.1  million  from  year-end  1994.    The  decline  in
stockholder's equity reflects the payment of $145.0 million in dividends
to IBM in the first quarter of 1995, offset by  net  earnings  of  $57.9
million for the first three months of 1995.

At  March  31,  1995,  the  Company's  debt-to-equity  ratio  was 6.0:1,
compared with 5.3:1 at year-end 1994, and 6.2:1 at March 31, 1994.
                                  -7-

TOTAL CASH USED BEFORE DIVIDENDS

Total cash used before dividends was $242.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, compared with total cash provided before dividends
of  $88.6  million  for  the  same 1994 period.   Total cash used before
dividends  reflects  $391.8  million  of  cash  used  in  investing  and
financing  activities before dividends, offset by $149.4 million of cash
provided by operating activities for the first three months of 1995.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1995, totaled $227.0  million,  a
decrease  of  $387.4  million  compared with the balance at December 31,
1994.

INCOME FROM LEASES

Income from leases decreased by 13 percent to  $112.3  million  for  the
three months ended March 31, 1995, from $128.4 million for the same 1994
period.    This  decline resulted from lower asset balances in the lease
portfolio in the first quarter of 1995,  compared  with  the  same  1994
period,  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 offset
this decline.  Income from leases includes lease income  resulting  from
remarketing  transactions.    Lease income from remarketing transactions
was $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995, an increase
of 2 percent from the comparable 1994 period.

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 $581.7 million  residual  value  portfolio  at
March 31, 1995, indicated that the overall estimated future value of the
portfolio continues to be greater than the value currently recorded.  No
material  declines in the future residual value of leased equipment were
identified, nor reductions recorded, in either the first quarter of 1995
or the first quarter of 1994.

INCOME FROM LOANS

Income from loans increased by 26 percent to $26.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, compared with the respective  1994  period.
This  increase  resulted  from higher asset balances, which in turn were
primarily the result of an increase in financing originated for software
and services during 1994 and the first  three  months  of  1995.    This
increase  was  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 by 68 percent to $51.2
million for the three months ended March 31,  1995,  compared  with  the
same  1994  period.    This  increase was primarily due to growth in the
average working capital financing receivables outstanding and  generally
higher  interest  rates  charged  during the first three 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 $114.1 million  for  the  first  quarter  of
1995,  compared  with  $150.5  million for the same period in 1994.  The
revenue associated with outright sales and sales-type leases is included
in equipment sales.  Company-owned equipment may be sold  or  leased  to
existing lessees or, when equipment is returned, to new customers.

Gross  profit on equipment sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased
to $13.3 million, compared with $12.4 million for the same 1994  period.
The  gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1995 was 11.6 percent,
up from 8.3 percent for the first quarter of 1994.    This  increase  is
primarily  due  to higher margins realized on high-end processors during
the first quarter of 1995, compared with the same 1994  period,  because
of market demand which generally exceeded supply.

OTHER INCOME

Other  income increased by approximately 13 percent to $33.3 million for
the first quarter of 1995, from $29.6 million for the same 1994  period.
This  increase is largely attributable to a $5.0 million pretax 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.

TOTAL FINANCE AND OTHER INCOME

Total finance and other income decreased by 6 percent to $337.5  million
for  the  first  quarter  of 1995, from $360.1 million for the same 1994
period.   This decline was largely due  to  reductions  in  income  from
leases and equipment sales, partially offset by increases in income from
loans, income from working capital financing and other income.
                                  -9-

INTEREST EXPENSE

As  a  result  of the rising interest rate environment, interest expense
increased by 14 percent to $86.3 million  for  the  three  months  ended
March 31, 1995, compared with $75.4 million for the same period in 1994.
The  Company's year-to-date average cost of debt through March 31, 1995,
increased to 5.89 percent, from 4.66 percent  for  the  same  period  in
1994.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses increased 2 percent to
$40.9 million for the first quarter of 1995, from $40.2 million for  the
same  1994  period.    This  increase  is primarily a result of 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 quarter 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 $13.7 million  for  the
quarter  ended  March  31, 1995, compared with $9.0 million for the same
period in 1994.   This increase reflects the growth  in  the  amount  of
capital  equipment  and  working capital financing originated during the
first three months of 1995, the Company's timely recognition of probable
receivable losses, and its revised estimate  of  the  recoverability  of
specific receivables.

NET EARNINGS

Net  earnings  decreased  by  2  percent  to $57.9 million for the first
quarter of 1995, compared with $59.1 million for the same 1994 period.

The Company's expanding working capital financing business and large and
profitable capital equipment remarketing  operations  contributed  to  a
favorable performance during the first quarter of 1995.

RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY

The  results  for  the  first three months of 1995 yielded an annualized
return on average equity of 22.3 percent, compared with 22.2 percent for
the comparable 1994 period.
                                  -10-

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.  SFAS 114 and SFAS
118 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.

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.
