  SUMMARY COMMENTARY

  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael R. Quinlan said, "McDonald's
  global foodservice business delivered good results in the second quarter
  and first six months of 1997.  We are confident in our growth strategies
  and expect 1997 to be another record-breaking year.  Based on input from
  local management, we have refined our plans and expect to add about 2,400
  restaurants globally in 1997, with a greater emphasis on full-size
  traditional restaurants compared with 1996.  About 80 percent of these
  openings will be outside the U.S.  We will continue to evaluate these
  plans as the year progresses."

       James R. Cantalupo, President and Chief Executive Officer-
  International said, "Our international results strengthened in the second
  quarter.  The strong 18 percent constant currency sales increase
  illustrates the impressive demand for the McDonald's experience around the
  world.  We continue to outdistance our competitors in the global
  marketplace through outstanding quality, service, cleanliness and value as
  well as a leading market position.  Over the past five years, we've added
  5,800 restaurants outside the U.S. compared with about 4,500 for our five
  largest globally branded quick-service restaurant competitors combined.
  We operate about twice the number of restaurants outside the U.S. as our
  next largest globally branded competitor.  We intend to build from this
  strong position to capture an even greater share of the under-penetrated,
  growing global market.  As a perspective on this opportunity, consider
  that even in our seven largest international markets McDonald's
  transactions per capita currently average just over one-third the level in
  the U.S."

       Jack M. Greenberg, Vice Chairman, Chairman and Chief Executive
  Officer-U.S.A. said, "As we said at the beginning of the year, 1997 is a
  year of transition for our U.S. business.  Last week, we announced a major
  reorganization of the U.S. business into five geographic divisions.  The
  goal of this reorganization is performance improvement, not cost-
  reduction.  This change will enable us to operate in a highly competitive,
  changing consumer environment with more speed, agility and decisiveness
  than ever before.  Decisions will be made by those people closest to our
  customers and our franchisees as we refine our plans to capitalize on our
  strong brand equity, substantial size advantage and market share lead.
  Our clear singular focus will be achieving higher levels of customer
  satisfaction through a strategic emphasis on food taste, value, service
  and convenience.  I remain very optimistic about our long-term
  opportunities to grow profitably in the domestic marketplace."

  CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

  Net income per common share and net income increased 10 and eight
  percent, respectively, for the six months, and seven and four percent,
  respectively, for the quarter.  Changing foreign currencies significantly
  reduced reported results for the six months and quarter.  Excluding the
  $16 million non-cash charge for the adoption of SFAS 121 in first quarter
  1996 and foreign currency impact, net income per common share and net
  income would have increased 11 and 10 percent for the six months,
  respectively.  For the quarter, net income per common share and net
  income would have increased 10 and eight percent, respectively, excluding
  foreign currency impact.

  <PAGE>
       During the quarter, the Company repurchased four million shares of
  common stock for approximately $200 million, bringing total share
  repurchase for the six months to 10.7 million shares for about $500
  million.  Fewer shares outstanding resulted in higher increases in net
  income per common share compared with the increases in net income.

       Systemwide sales represent sales by Company-operated, franchised and
  affiliated restaurants.  Total revenues consist of sales by Company-
  operated restaurants and fees from restaurants operated by franchisees
  and affiliates.  These fees are based upon a percent of sales with
  specified minimum payments.  On a global basis, the increases in sales
  and revenues for both periods were due to expansion, offset in part by
  weaker foreign currencies.  The unusually low number of net U.S.
  restaurant additions in both periods was primarily due to a greater
  number of restaurant closings, particularly satellite restaurant closings
  previously announced.

       Company-operated margins as a percent of sales were about flat for
  the six months and lower for the quarter.  As a percent of sales, food &
  paper costs increased, while payroll costs decreased for both periods.
  Occupancy & other operating costs as a percent of sales increased
  slightly for the six months and decreased slightly for the quarter.

       Franchised margin dollars comprised about two-thirds of the combined
  operating margins, the same as in the prior year.  While franchised
  margins as a percent of applicable revenues decreased slightly for both
  periods, franchised margin dollars increased six percent for the six
  months and five percent for the quarter.

  <PAGE>
       The increases in general, administrative & selling expenses were
  primarily due to strategic global spending to support the Convenience,
  Value and Execution Strategies, including costs associated with expansion
  outside the U.S. and continued investment in developing countries, offset
  in part by weaker foreign currencies.

       Other operating (income) expense--net is composed of transactions
  related to franchising and the foodservice business.  Gains on sales of
  restaurant businesses were lower since fewer restaurants were sold.  The
  other category reflected lower expense for both periods.  This was
  primarily due to lower provisions for property dispositions in 1997 for
  the quarter, and for the six months, the $16 million charge for the
  adoption of SFAS 121 in first quarter 1996.

       Consolidated operating income increased $83 million or seven percent
  and $31 million or four percent for the six months and quarter,
  respectively.  The increases reflected higher combined operating margin
  dollars and other operating income, offset in part by higher general,
  administrative & selling expenses and weaker foreign currencies.

  Other operating (income) expense--net  $(55.3) $(41.3) $(49.3) $(37.1)

       Higher interest expense in both periods reflected higher debt
  levels, offset in part by lower average interest rates and weaker foreign
  currencies.

       Nonoperating (income) expense reflected translation losses in both
  periods of 1997 compared with translation gains in 1996, and in the six
  months ended June 30, 1996, losses associated with the reduction of the
  carrying value of the Company's investment in Discovery Zone common stock
  to zero.

       The effective income tax rate was 32.5 and 31.9 percent for the six
  months and quarter of 1997, respectively, compared with 33.0 and 32.8
  percent for the corresponding periods of 1996.  For the year 1997, the
  Company expects the effective tax rate to be in the range of 32.0 to 32.5
  percent.

  <PAGE>
  OPERATING RESULTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.

  The sales increases outside the U.S. for both periods were driven
  primarily by expansion, offset in part by weaker foreign currencies.
  Comparable sales in constant currencies increased slightly for the
  quarter and decreased slightly for the six months.  If exchange rates had
  remained at 1996 levels, sales outside the U.S. would have increased 18
  and 16 percent for the quarter and six months, respectively.  Severe
  weather in Europe in the first quarter and weak economies in both periods
  negatively affected results.

       Revenues increased at a faster rate than sales in both periods.
  This was primarily due to the weakening Japanese Yen, which had a greater
  effect on sales than revenues due to our affiliate structure in Japan,
  and the higher growth rate in Company-operated versus franchised
  restaurants.

       Of the larger international markets, the following had strong sales
  and operating income growth for both periods of 1997:  the Philippines
  and Taiwan in Asia/Pacific; England, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland
  in Europe; and Mexico in Latin America.  Our operations in Canada were
  negatively affected by increased competition and low consumer spending
  due to high unemployment; weak economies also negatively affected our
  operations in France and Germany, although France improved in the second
  quarter.

       The increases in operating income outside the U.S. in both periods
  were driven by higher Company-operated and franchised margin dollars, and
  increases in other operating income.  Weaker foreign currencies and
  higher general, administrative & selling expenses necessary to fund
  expansion and continued investment in developing countries partly offset
  these increases.

  <PAGE>
       Company-operated margins as a percent of sales declined in both
  periods.  As a percent of sales, increases in food & paper costs and
  occupancy & other operating costs were offset in part by decreases in
  payroll costs.

       Franchised margins as a percent of revenues were relatively flat in
  the six months and up for the quarter.

  IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES ON REPORTED RESULTS

  While changing foreign currencies affect reported results, McDonald's
  lessens exposures by primarily purchasing goods and services in local
  currencies, financing in local currencies and hedging certain foreign-
  denominated cash flows.

       The weakening of the Japanese Yen and Deutsche Mark were the primary
  foreign currency changes that negatively affected results in both
  periods.  The following table illustrates what 1997 results would have
  been if exchange rates had remained at 1996 levels compared with reported
  results.

  U.S. OPERATING RESULTS

  U.S. sales increased in both periods due to restaurant expansion (497
  restaurants were added in the 12 months ended June 30, 1997).  U.S.
  comparable sales were slightly positive for the six months and slightly
  negative for the quarter.  This performance reflected successful
  marketing and promotions including Monopoly, Chicken McNuggets and Teenie
  Beanie Babies and disappointing results from the price component of
  Campaign 55.

       U.S. sales increased at a faster rate than revenues primarily
  because the number of U.S. franchised and affiliated restaurants
  increased over the past year while the number of Company-operated
  restaurants decreased.

       U.S. operating income increased slightly for the six months and
  decreased slightly for the quarter.  This performance reflected lower
  Company-operated margin dollars and higher general, administrative &
  selling expenses, offset in part by higher franchised margin dollars, and
  for the quarter, lower other operating expenses.

       Company-operated margins as a percent of sales remained relatively
  flat for the six months and declined for the quarter.  Cost trends as a
  percent of sales follow:  food & paper costs increased while payroll and
  occupancy & other operating expenses decreased for the six months; for
  the quarter, food & paper and payroll costs increased while occupancy &
  other operating expenses decreased.

       Franchised margins as a percent of revenues declined for both
  periods.  These declines reflected slower revenue growth as a result of
  flat to negative comparable sales and rent adjustments.  The margins were
  also negatively affected by higher occupancy costs, primarily rent
  expense, driven by an increase in the number of leased sites.
