McDonnell Douglas Finance Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1   Basis of Presentation

McDonnell Douglas Finance Corporation (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of McDonnell Douglas Financial Services Corporation ("MDFS"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of McDonnell Douglas Corporation ("MDC").  In the
opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, the
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented.  The statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993.

Certain 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.


Note 2   Credit Agreements and Long-Term Debt

The provisions of various credit and debt agreements require the Company to
maintain a minimum net worth, restrict indebtedness, and limit cash dividends
and other distributions.  Under the most restrictive provision, $52.1 million
of the Company's income retained for growth was available for dividends at
June 30, 1994.

In June 1993, the Company commenced an offering of up to $250 million of its
General Term Notes(R) and subsequently commenced offerings of up to an
aggregate of $350 million of its medium-term notes.  The interest rate
applicable to each note and certain other variable terms are established at
the date of issue.  As of June 30, 1994, MDFC has issued pursuant to such
offerings $91 million of General Term Notes(R) at rates ranging from 5.0% to
8.4% due in 1995 through 2011, $140 million of medium-term notes at fixed
rates ranging from 4.6% to 6.8% due in 1995 through 1998, and an additional
$150 million of medium-term notes issued during the second quarter of 1994 due
in 1995 through 1999 at floating rates based on LIBOR and reset quarterly.


Note 3   Commitments and Contingencies

At June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had unused credit lines
available to customers totaling $6.5 million and $6.6 million; and commitments
to provide leasing and other financing totaling $81.5 million and $43.6
million.

In conjunction with prior asset dispositions, the Company is subject to a
maximum recourse of $40.0 million.  Based on trends to date, the Company's
actual losses from such exposure are not expected to be significant.

The Company has guaranteed the repayment of $9.2 million in capital lease
obligations associated with a 50% partner.

Item 2.  Management's Analysis of Results of Operations

Finance lease income for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $6.8 million
(15.0%) higher than the comparable six-month period in 1993, primarily as a
result of additional aircraft purchased and financed under finance leases.

Interest on notes receivable was $4.7 million (23.4%) lower than the  1993
six-month period, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance of
bridge financings in the aircraft portfolio.

Net gain on disposal or re-lease of assets increased $1.6 million (35.6%) from
the first half of 1993, resulting primarily from equipment in the Company's
commercial equipment leasing portfolio being sold at a gain at the end of the
lease term.

The provision for losses for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $1.1
million (22.5%) lower than the comparable six month period in 1993, primarily
attributable to the improved credit quality of the total Company portfolio and
reduced writeoffs in the aircraft portfolio.

Operating expenses were $2.9 million (27.1%) lower than the 1993 six month
period, primarily due to the sales of the portfolios of McDonnell Douglas Bank
Limited and McDonnell Douglas Capital Corporation, both of which were, in
effect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Other expenses increased $0.9 million (40.9%) compared to the first half of
1993, primarily due to increased expenses associated with the Company's real
estate owned portfolio.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

As discussed in the Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, MDFC
Equipment Leasing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
reached an agreement in principle to settle the suit brought against it by
Wilmington Trust Company, CoreStates Bank, N.A., Midlantic National Bank and
Continental Bank for an immaterial amount.  During the second quarter of 1994
the settlement was consummated and the suit was dismissed with prejudice.

340 Golden Shore, Long Beach, California 90802 to 4060 Lakewood Boulevard, 6th

Commercial Aircraft Financing

P. T. Garuda Indonesia, which recently became the Company's single largest
commercial aircraft financing customer, accounted for $276.9 million (14.9% of
total Company portfolio) and $181.0 million (9.9% of total Company portfolio)
at June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993.  The five largest commercial aircraft
financing customers accounted for $827.3 million (44.5% of total Company
portfolio) and $718.5 million (39.2% of Company total portfolio) at June 30,
1994 and December 31, 1993.


Information Regarding McDonnell Douglas Corporation

One of MDC's largest programs for the U.S. Government is the C-17 Globemaster
III.  MDC has incurred significant C-17 related losses as a result of its cost
estimates at completion exceeding the fixed-price ceiling set for development
and initial production.  In addition, as of June 30, 1994, the U.S.Air Force
had withheld approximately $303 million from MDC's progress payment requests
principally as a result of the higher cost estimates and the reclassification
of certain costs.  In May 1993, a Defense Acquisition Board initiated by the
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition began a review of the C-17 program
in an effort to resolve outstanding issues and to make recommendations
<PAGE>
<PAGE>13

regarding the C-17's future.  In connection with the review, MDC provided data
and participated in numerous discussions.  In January 1994, MDC and the
Department of Defense agreed to a business settlement of many of issues
concerning the C-17. MDC and the U.S. Air Force will be developing plans and
contractual modifications and agreements to implement the business settlement. 
MDC has begun to implement certain aspects of the settlement pending
Congressional authorization and appropriations expected to be completed during
1994.  The settlement covered many issues open as of the date of the
settlement, including the allocation of sustaining engineering costs to the
development and production contracts, the sharing of flight test costs over a
previous level, and the resolution of claims and of performance/specification
issues.  The settlement also stipulated that MDC will expend funds in an
effort to achieve product and systems improvements.  During the fourth quarter
of 1993, MDC recorded a $450 million pretax charge associated with the
business settlement arranged with the Department of Defense and with cost
growth on the development and initial production lots.   Based upon further
definition and pricing of issues in the settlement, in the first quarter of
1994, MDC reduced cost estimates associated with the settlement.  At the same
time, MDC recognized additional cost growth for work yet to be completed in
the development and initial production lots.  During the second quarter, MDC
recognized losses in the development and initial production lots.  These
losses, however, were offset by increased earnings in the current production
lots.  Although completion of the full scale engineering and development
portion of the C-17 program is approaching, MDC continues to bear additional
costs in the development and initial production contracts.

MDC revenues decreased 16% in the first six months in 1994 to $6.20 billion,
from $7.43 billion in the first six months in 1993.  The decrease in revenues
resulted principally from reduced deliveries in the commercial aircraft
segment and MDC's reduced role in the downsized Space Station program. 
Revenues from the military aircraft segment were 11% higher for the first six
months in 1994 as compared with the same period in 1993.  Revenues from the
commercial aircraft segment decreased 46% in the first six months of 1994
compared to the first six months of 1993 reflecting reduced aircraft
deliveries and the overall softness in the commercial aircraft market.  MDC
expects the weakness of the commercial aircraft market to continue at least
during the remainder of 1994.

Net earnings for the first six months of 1994 were $272 million compared with
the first six months of 1993 earnings of $207 million, after excluding from
1993 unusual gains totaling $179 million related to the sale of McDonnell
Douglas Information Systems International, the resolution of income tax
issues, and a postretirement benefits curtailment gain.
