              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                     (Dollar Amounts in Millions)
     
     1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared by Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (the
     "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.  Although the Company believes the disclosures are
     adequate, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
     presented in the Company's 1993 Annual Report and the Company's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K.  Unless the context otherwise requires, the term
     "Company" includes subsidiary companies.
     
         The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of management,
     all adjustments, which include normal and recurring accruals, necessary
     for a fair presentation of the consolidated statements of financial
     position, income, and cash flows for the periods presented.  The results
     for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the year.
     
         Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
     
     2.  Income on financing leases, installment sale contracts, and customer
     and dealer loans (retail finance income) is recognized over the term of
     the contract at a constant rate of return on the scheduled uncollected
     principal balance.  Income on dealer floor planning and rental fleet
     financing (wholesale finance income) is recognized based on the daily
     balance of wholesale receivables outstanding and the applicable
     effective interest rate.  Income on operating leases (rental income) is
     reported over the life of the operating lease in the period earned. 
     Loan origination and commitment fees in excess of $500 are amortized to
     finance income using the interest method over the contractual lives of
     the finance receivables.    
     
     3.  The Company has a tax sharing agreement with Caterpillar Inc.
     ("Caterpillar") in which the Company and Caterpillar agree, among other
     things, to collect from or pay to the Company its allocated share of any
     consolidated U.S. income tax liability or credit applicable to any
     period for which the Company is included as a member of the consolidated
     group.  Similar agreements exist between Caterpillar Financial Australia
     Limited and Caterpillar of Australia Ltd. with respect to taxes payable
     in Australia, and between the Company and Caterpillar with respect to
     taxes payable in Germany.
     
     4.  During the first nine months of 1994, the Company publicly issued
     $684.8 million of medium-term notes.  The notes are offered on a
     continuous basis through agents and have maturities ranging from nine
     months to 15 years.  Interest rates on fixed-rate medium-term notes are
     established by the Company as of the date of issuance.  Interest rates
     on floating-rate medium-term notes are based on various indices.  The
     weighted average interest rate on all outstanding medium-term notes was
     6.0% at September 30, 1994.  Long-term debt outstanding at 
     September 30, 1994, matures as follows:
     
                             1994         $  119.8
                             1995            737.6
                             1996            439.1
                             1997            364.8
                             1998            273.1
                             1999            124.7
                          Thereafter         179.7
                             Total        $2,238.8     
                               
     
     5.  In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS  
     No. 114 - Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which was
     amended by FAS No. 118 in October 1994.  These new standards require
     that impaired loans within the scope of the statements be measured on
     the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
     effective interest rate, or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's
     observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
     is collateral dependent.  The Company believes that it is already in
     compliance with these standards except for a footnote disclosure that
     will be added to the 1994 year-end financial statements.  These
     standards will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
     position or results of operations.
     
     Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
             Results of Operations
     
     A.  Consolidated Results of Operations
     
         Three Months Ended September 30, 1994 vs. Three Months Ended
         September 30, 1993
     
         Total revenues for the third quarter of 1994 were $113.2 million, a
     23% increase over 1993 third quarter revenues of $91.7 million.  The
     increase in revenues was primarily the result of earnings from the
     larger portfolio which increased to $4,125.2 million at September 30,
     1994 from $3,233.4 million at September 30, 1993.
       
         The Company financed new retail business transactions totaling
     $496.1 million during the third quarter of 1994 compared with $487.2
     million during the third quarter of 1993.  New retail financing in the
     third quarter was higher than 1993 levels due to increased machine
     financing, partially offset by lower engine financing.  The Company had
     wholesale financing during third quarter 1994 of $212.2 million,
     compared with $61.5 million for third quarter 1993.  The increase was
     due to a program developed to support Caterpillar dealer rental fleets
     in the United States.
     
         The annualized interest rate on finance receivables (computed by
     dividing annualized finance income by the average monthly finance
     receivable balances) was 8.6% for the third quarter of 1994 compared
     with 9.1% for the third quarter of 1993.  Tax benefits associated with
     governmental lease-purchase contracts and a portion of tax benefits
     associated with long-term tax-oriented leases are not reflected in such
     annualized interest rates.  
     
         Other income of $5.3 million for the third quarter of 1994 included
     fees, gains on sales of equipment returned from lease, and other
     miscellaneous income.  The decrease of $.2 million in other income
     during the third quarter of 1994, as compared with the same period in
     1993, was primarily due to a lower amount of gains on sales of equipment
     returned from lease, partially offset by a higher amount of fees and
     other income.
     
         Third quarter interest expense of $54.1 million was $10.5 million
     higher than 1993 third quarter interest expense due to increased
     borrowings to support the larger portfolio.  This increase was slightly
     offset by lower borrowing rates as the average cost of borrowed funds
     was 6.2% for the third quarter of 1994, compared with 6.4% for the third
     quarter of 1993.                     
                  
         Depreciation expense for the third quarter of 1994 was $23.9
     million, $8.1 million higher than the same period in 1993.  This
     increase resulted from additional equipment on operating leases which,
     computed as a monthly average balance, increased 20.9%.
     
     
     
     
     
     
         General, operating, and administrative expenses increased $1.3
     million during the third quarter of 1994 compared with the same period
     last year.  This increase resulted primarily from staff-related and
     other expenses required to service the larger portfolio.  The Company's
     full-time employment increased from 351 at September 30, 1993 to 404 at
     September 30, 1994.
     
         Provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 1994 was
     $5.1 million, compared with $5.4 million during the third quarter last
     year.  Receivables, net of recoveries, of $2.6 million were written off
     against the allowance for credit losses during the third quarter of 1994
     compared with $1.6 million during the third quarter of 1993. 
     Receivables past due over 30 days were 2.4% of total receivables at
     September 30, 1994, compared with 2.3% at September 30, 1993.  The
     allowance for credit losses is monitored to provide for an amount which,
     in management's judgment, will be adequate to cover uncollectible
     receivables.  At September 30, 1994, the allowance for credit losses was
     $46.4 million which was 1.2% of finance receivables, net of unearned
     income (1.4% excluding wholesale receivables), compared with $42.3
     million and 1.4% (1.5% excluding wholesale receivables) at September 30,
     1993, respectively.
     
         Other expense of $.8 million for the third quarter of 1994 primarily
     resulted from recording unrealized losses on interest rate caps and
     swaptions written by the Company.
     
         The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1994 was 38%
     compared with 45% for the third quarter of 1993 which contained an
     adjustment of $1.4 million of tax expense due to an increase in the U.S.
     income tax rate.  
           
         Net income for the third quarter of 1994 was $10.9 million, $1.9
     million above 1993 third quarter net income of $9.0 million.  The
     increase in net income was primarily the result of increased earnings
     from a larger portfolio and the U.S. income tax rate adjustment made in
     the third quarter of 1993, partially offset by lower rates on finance
     receivables.
     
         Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 vs. Nine Months Ended 
         September 30, 1993
     
         Total revenues for the first nine months of 1994 were $324.2
     million, a 21% increase over the revenues for the first nine months of
     1993 of $268.7 million.  The increase in revenues was primarily the
     result of earnings from the larger portfolio.
     
         The Company financed new retail business transactions totaling
     $1,478.1 million during the first nine months of 1994 compared with
     $1,260.9 million during the first nine months of 1993.  New retail
     financing in the first nine months of the year was higher than 1993
     levels due to increased machine financing.  The Company had wholesale
     financing during the first nine months of 1994 of $566.6 million
     compared with $177.2 million for the first nine months of 1993.  The
     increase was due to a program developed to support Caterpillar dealer
     rental fleets in the United States.
     
         The annualized interest rate on finance receivables (computed by
     dividing annualized finance income by the average monthly finance
     receivable balances) was 8.6% for the first nine months of 1994 compared
     with 9.3% for the first nine months of 1993.  Tax benefits associated
     with governmental lease purchase contracts and a portion of tax benefits
     associated with long-term tax-oriented leases are not reflected in such
     annualized interest rates.  
     
     
     
     
     
         Other income of $15.3 million for the first nine months of 1994
     included fees, gains on sales of equipment returned from lease, gain on
     sale of  receivables, and other miscellaneous income.  The increase of
     $1.9 million during the first nine months of 1994, as compared with the
     same period in 1993, was primarily due to servicing fees and other
     income related to receivables sold in the second quarter of 1994 and the
     gain on sale of these receivables, partially offset by a lower amount of
     gains on sales of equipment returned from lease.
     
         Interest expense for the first nine months of 1994 was $151.8
     million, $23.2 million higher than the first nine months of 1993 due to
     increased borrowings to support the larger portfolio.  This increase was
     partially offset by lower borrowing rates as the average cost of
     borrowed funds was 6.1% for the first nine months of 1994 compared with
     6.7% in 1993.
     
         Depreciation expense increased from $50.0 million for the first nine
     months of 1993 to $68.5 million for the first nine months of 1994 due to
     the increase in equipment on operating leases which, computed as a
     monthly average balance, increased 22.4%.
     
         General, operating, and administrative expenses for the first nine
     months of 1994 increased $3.9 million over the same period last year
     primarily due to staff-related and other expenses required for expansion
     into Europe and to service the larger portfolio.
     
         Provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 1994
     increased from $13.9 million in the first nine months of 1993 to $15.9
     million in the first nine months of 1994.  This increase reflected
     increased levels of new retail business.  Receivables, net of
     recoveries, of $9.1 million were written off against the allowance for
     credit losses during the first nine months of 1994 compared with $7.7
     million during the first nine months of 1993.
     
         Other expense of $14.4 million for the first nine months of 1994
     primarily resulted from recording unrealized losses on interest rate
     caps and swaptions written by the Company.
      
         The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 1994 was
     37% compared with 39% for the first nine months of 1993, primarily due
     to an additional $1.4 million of current and deferred tax expense in the
     first nine months of 1993 due to an increase in the U.S. income tax
     rate.  
     
         Net income for the first nine months of 1994 was $25.8 million
     compared with $28.4 million in the first nine months of 1993.  The
     decrease in net income primarily resulted from the recording of losses
     (mainly unrealized) on the written cap and swaption agreements, net of
     tax, of $8.8 million.  This decrease was partially offset by increased
     earnings from the larger portfolio.  
     
      B.  Capital Resources and Liquidity 
     
         The Company's operations during the year were primarily funded with
     a combination of medium-term notes, commercial paper, bank borrowings, 
     retained earnings, and additional equity capital of $25.0 million
     invested by Caterpillar.  The ratio of debt to equity at September 30,
     1994 was 7.5 to 1 compared with 7.3 to 1 at December 31, 1993.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
         Total debt outstanding as of September 30, 1994 was $3,592.0
     million, an increase of $550.9 million over that at December 31, 1993,
     and was primarily comprised of $2,168.6 million of medium-term notes,
     $718.8 million of commercial paper, and $468.6 million of notes payable
     to banks.  The increase in debt and the funds provided by operations and
     by Caterpillar were used to finance the increase in the portfolio.
     
         At September 30, 1994, the Company had available a total of $1,257.9
     million of short-term credit lines which expire at various dates through
     third quarter 1995, and $35.6 million of long-term credit lines which
     expire at various dates from March 1996 to May 1997.  These credit lines
     are with a number of banks and are considered support for the Company's
     outstanding commercial paper, commercial paper guarantees, the
     discounting of bank and trade bills, and bank borrowings at various
     interest rates.  At September 30, 1994, there were $448.4 million of
     these lines utilized for bank borrowings in Australia and Europe.
     
         The Company also had a $445.0 million revolving credit agreement
     with a group of banks, which, at the Company's request, was terminated
     effective October 13, 1994.  This agreement was also considered support
     for the Company's outstanding commercial paper and commercial paper
     guarantees.  It provided for borrowings at interst rates which
     fluctuated according to LIBOR or other short-term interest rates.  At
     September 30, 1994, there were no borrowings under this agreement. 
     Effective October 13, 1994, the Company is participating with
     Caterpillar Inc. in two syndicated revolving credit facilities
     aggregating $1.8 billion, consisting of a $1.2 billion five-year
     facility and a $600.0 million 364-day revolving facility.  The Company's
     initial allocation is $990.0 million, consisting of a $660.0 million
     five-year revolving credit and a $330.0 million 364-day revolving
     credit.  The syndicated credit replaces $470.0 million of short-term
     credit lines in addition to the $445.0 million revolver.  The Company
     has the ability to request a change in its allocation and will do so to
     maintain the required amount of commercial paper support.
     
         In connection with its match funding objectives, the Company
     utilizes a variety of interest rate contracts including swap, cap, and
     forward rate agreements.  These agreements are entered into with major
     financial institutions to manage the Company's exposure to changes in
     interest rates. 
     
         As of September 30, 1994, the Company had outstanding swap, sold
     (written) cap, and purchased cap agreements with notional amounts
     totaling $2,031.3 million, $437.3 million, and $200.0 million,
     respectively.  These agreements have terms generally ranging up to five
     years, which effectively change $1,154.6 million of floating rate debt
     to fixed rate debt, $802.0 million of fixed rate debt to floating rate
     debt, and $712.0 million of floating rate debt to floating rate debt
     having different conditions.  The Company also had swaps having future
     effective dates with a total notional amount of $112.5 million, which
     will effectively change $64.5 million of floating rate debt to fixed
     rate debt and $48.0 million of fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. 
     The first of these future effective date swap agreements begins in
     October 1994 with most having maturities up to four years.  In
     connection with a swap agreement having a total notional amount of $10.0
     million, the Company had an outstanding written option agreement
     (swaption) which would allow the counterparty to change the termination
     date of an existing floating to fixed swap from October of 1998 to
     October of 1994.  The Company has marked to market the written cap and
     swaption agreements and is continuing to manage these agreements on an
     economic basis, which  will lead to future mark-to-market gains or
     losses.  
     
     
     
     
     
         The Company's outstanding forward rate agreements totaled $82.9
     million at the end of the third quarter of 1994.  These agreements have
     terms generally ranging up to nine months.  
     
         The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge its
     U.S. dollar denominated obligations in Australia against currency
     fluctuations.  At September 30, 1994, the outstanding forward exchange
     contracts totaled $170.8 million.
     
         To supplement external debt financing sources, the Company has
     variable amount lending agreements with Caterpillar (including one of
     its subsidiaries).  Under these agreements, which may be amended from
     time to time, the Company may borrow up to $107.0 million from
     Caterpillar, and Caterpillar may borrow up to $87.0 million from the
     Company.  All of the variable amount lending agreements are effective
     for indefinite terms and may be terminated by either party upon 30 days'
     notice.  At September 30, 1994, December 31, 1993, and September 30,
     1993, the Company had no outstanding borrowings or loans receivable
     under these agreements.
