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

At September 30, 1994, the Company and MDFS have a joint revolving credit
agreement under which the Company may borrow a maximum of $220 million,
reduced by MDFS borrowings under this same agreement.  This agreement, which
became effective September 29, 1994, expires September 28, 1998.  By the terms
of this agreement, MDFS can borrow no more than $16 million.  The interest
rate, at the option of the Company or MDFS, is either a floating rate
generally based on a defined prime rate or fixed rate related to LIBOR.  There
were no amounts outstanding under this agreement at September 30, 1994.

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, $54.5 million
of the Company's income retained for growth was available for dividends at
September 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 approximately $399 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 September 30, 1994, MDFC has issued
pursuant to such offerings $91 million of General Term Notes(R) at rates
ranging from 5.00% to 8.38% due in 1995 through 2011, $140 million of senior
medium-term notes at fixed rates ranging from 4.63% to 6.78% due in 1995
through 1998, $150 million of senior medium-term notes due in 1995 through
1999 at floating rates based on LIBOR and reset quarterly, and $20 million of
subordinated medium-term notes issued during the third quarter of 1994 at a
fixed rate of 8.31% due in 2004.


Note 3   Commitments and Contingencies

At September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had unused credit
lines available to customers totaling $2.9 million and $6.6 million; and
<PAGE>
<PAGE>10

commitments to provide leasing and other financing totaling $75.9 million and
$43.6 million.

In conjunction with prior asset dispositions, the Company is subject to a
maximum recourse of $38.2 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.

Company financings to Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA"), the Company's
largest aircraft financing customer, accounted for $281.8 million (16.1% of
total Company portfolio) at September 30, 1994 and as of such date, the
Company had commitments to provide a nominal amount of additional financing
relating to aircraft previously delivered to TWA.  TWA has recently proposed a
restructuring plan relating to its indebtedness and leasehold obligations to
its creditors.  As part of an overall plan, TWA has requested the Company to
defer six months of lease and other payments and to convert 50% of the
deferral to equity.  The Company is currently evaluating the proposal and is
engaged in discussions with TWA.  While the outcome of the proposed
restructuring plan is dependent upon factors beyond the control of the
Company, management believes that it is not expected to be materially adverse
to the Company due to the collateral value of the aircraft and guaranties
provided by MDC.

Payments from a few of the Company's commercial aircraft customers are
delinquent and, as a result, the Company may be required to repossess aircraft
from such customers.  Losses from repossession of aircraft from these
delinquent customers in the currently depressed aircraft market could have a
material adverse affect on earnings.  However, based on its current assessment
of probable credit losses, management believes its loss reserves are adequate
and does not believe that these matters would have a material adverse affect
on the Company.

One group of creditors of Greyhound Lines Inc. ("Greyhound"), the Company's
largest commercial equipment leasing customer, recently filed an involuntary
bankruptcy petition against Greyhound in Federal Bankruptcy Court.  Greyhound
accounted for $18.9 million (1.1% of total Company portfolio) at September 30,
1994 and is current on its lease payments to the Company.Certain obligations
of Greyhound to the Company are supported by letters of credit in the
aggregate amount of $3.8 million.  Based on its current assessment, management
believes the loss reserves are adequate and does not believe that this matter
will have a material adverse affect on the earnings of the Company.


Item 2.  Management's Analysis of Results of Operations

Finance lease income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $8.4
million (12.5%) higher than the comparable nine-month period in 1993,
primarily as a result of additional aircraft purchased from MDC and financed
under finance leases.

Interest on notes receivable was $7.6 million (25.3%) lower than the 1993
nine-month period, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance of
bridge financings in the aircraft portfolio.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>11

Operating lease income, net of depreciation expense, increased $4.2 million
(16.2%) compared to the 1993 nine-month period, resulting primarily from an
aircraft purchased from MDC and financed under an operating lease and aircraft
previously leased under finance leases re-leased under operating leases.

Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $1.4 million
(18.4%) lower than the comparable nine-month period in 1993, primarily
resulting from reduced lease underwriting residuals generated from the
recently ceased operations of McDonnell Douglas Capital Corporation ("MDCC").

The provision for losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was $1.0
million (14.5%) lower than the comparable nine-month period in 1993, primarily
attributable to the improved credit quality of the total Company portfolio and
reduced writeoffs in the real estate portfolio.

Operating expenses were $3.5 million (23.3%) lower than the 1993 nine-month
period, primarily due to the sales of the portfolios of McDonnell Douglas Bank
Limited and MDCC.

Other expenses decreased $4.8 million (44.0%) compared to the 1993 nine-month
period, primarily due to a $5.7 million loss recorded in the third quarter of
1993 in conjunction with the transfer of real estate owned properties to an
affiliate.

Commercial Aircraft Financing

Company financings to Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA"), the Company's
largest aircraft financing customer, accounted for $281.8 million (16.1% of
total Company portfolio) at September 30, 1994 and as of such date, the
Company had commitments to provide a nominal amount of additional financing
relating to aircraft previously delivered to TWA.  TWA has recently proposed a
restructuring plan relating to its indebtedness and leasehold obligations to
its creditors.  As part of an overall plan, TWA has requested the Company to
defer six months of lease and other payments and to convert 50% of the
deferral to equity.  The Company is currently evaluating the proposal and is
engaged in discussions with TWA.  While the outcome of the proposed restruc-
turing plan is dependent upon factors beyond the control of the Company,
management believes that it is not expected to be materially adverse to the
Company due to the collateral value of the aircraft and guaranties provided by
MDC.

Payments from a few of the Company's commercial aircraft customers are
delinquent and, as a result, the Company may be required to repossess aircraft
from such customers.  Losses from repossession of aircraft from these delin-
quent customers in the currently depressed aircraft market could have a
material adverse affect on earnings.  However, based on its current assessment
of probable credit losses, management believes its loss reserves are adequate
and does not believe that these matters would have a material adverse affect
on the Company.

Commercial Equipment Leasing

One group of creditors of Greyhound Lines Inc. ("Greyhound"), the Company's
largest commercial equipment leasing customer, recently filed an involuntary
bankruptcy petition against Greyhound in Federal Bankruptcy Court.  Greyhound
accounted for $18.9 million (1.1% of total Company portfolio) at September 30,
1994 and is current on its lease payments to the Company.Certain obligations
of Greyhound to the Company are supported by letters of credit in the aggre-
gate amount of $3.8 million.  Based on its current assessment, management
believes the loss reserves are adequate and does not believe that this matter
will have a material adverse affect on the earnings of the Company.


Information Regarding McDonnell Douglas Corporation

The financial well-being of MDC may impact the Company's ability to enter into
significant amounts of new business in the future.  Approximately 20% of the
receivables from the Company's total aircraft portfolio are supported by
guaranties from MDC.  In the event a substantial portion of the guaranties
become payable and in the unlikely event that MDC is unable to honor its
obligations under these guaranties, such event could have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Company.  In addition, MDC partici-
pates as an intermediary in financings to a small number of the Company's
commercial aircraft customers and largely as a result thereof, MDC is the
fourth largest commercial aircraft financing customer of the Company.
