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, $40.0 million
of the Company's income retained for growth was available for dividends at
March 31, 1994.


Note 3   Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the Company had unused credit lines
available to customers totaling $5.8 million and $6.6 million; and commitments
to provide leasing and other financing totaling $51.0 million and $43.6
million.

In conjunction with prior asset dispositions, the Company is subject to a
maximum recourse of $41.2 million.  Based on trends to date, the Company's
exposure to such loss is not expected to be significant.

The Company has guaranteed the repayment of $9.7 million in capital lease
obligations associated with a 50% partner.


Item 2.  Management's Analysis of Results of Operations

Finance lease income for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was $5.0
million (21.6%) higher than the comparable three-month period in 1993,
primarily as a result of additional aircraft purchased from MDC and financed
under finance leases.

Interest on notes receivable was $4.6 million (45.1%) lower than the first
quarter of 1993, primarily due to a lower average outstanding balance of
bridge financings in the aircraft portfolio.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>9

The provision for losses decreased $1.4 million (43.8%) from the first quarter
of 1993, which is primarily attributable to the improved credit quality of the
total Company portfolio and reduced writeoffs in the aircraft portfolio.

Operating expenses decreased $1.4 million (24.1%) compared to the first
quarter of 1993, primarily due to reductions in the Company's work force.

Other expenses decreased $1.0 million (71.4%) compared to the first quarter of
1993, primarily due to decreased expenses associated with the Company's real
estate owned portfolio.  On September 28, 1993, the Company sold a substantial
portion of its real estate owned portfolio.



                                    Part II

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.  Court approval of the settlement for a de minimus amount is
still pending.


Item 5.  Other Information

As of April 25, 1994, the Company moved its principal executive offices from
340 Golden Shore, Long Beach, California 90802 to 4060 Lakewood Boulevard, 6th
Floor, Long Beach, California 90808-1700.  Concurrently, the Registrant's

Commercial Aircraft Financing

P. T. Garuda Indonesia, which recently became the Company's single largest
commercial aircraft financing customer, accounted for $275.1 million (14.2% of
total Company portfolio) and $181.0 million (9.9% of total Company portfolio)
at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993.  The five largest commercial aircraft
financing customers accounted for $817.6 million (42.2% of total Company
portfolio) and $718.5 million (39.2% of Company total portfolio) at March 31,
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
estimate at completion exceeding the fixed-price ceiling set for development
and initial production.  In addition, as of March 31, 1994, the U.S.Air Force
had withheld approximately $282 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
<PAGE>
<PAGE>13

in an effort to resolve outstanding issues and to make recommendations
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 a variety 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.  The $450 million provision
recognized at the end of 1993 has been increased by $5 million during 1994 to
cover net cost growth.

MDC revenues decreased 18% in the first quarter of 1994 to $2.953 billion,
from $3.617 billion in the first quarter of 1993.  Revenues in the military
aircraft segment increased by 10%, while revenues in the commercial aircraft
segment decreased by 53% due to reduced commercial aircraft deliveries in
1994.  Revenues were also lower in the missiles, space and electronic systems
segment as a result of MDC's reduced role in the downsized Space Station
program.

Net earnings for the 1994 first quarter were $135 million compared with first
quarter 1993 earnings of $94 million, after excluding from 1993 a $37 million
after-tax gain on the sale of McDonnell Douglas Information Systems
International and an $85 million earnings increase resulting from the
resolution of income tax issues.
