ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Under the terms of the loan agreement which provides for unsecured loans to be
made by Funding to JCPenney and the receivables agreement pursuant to which
Funding may purchase an undivided interest in certain JCPenney customer
receivables, Funding derives earnings on loans to JCPenney and income from
charges to JCPenney. This income, when combined with other income of Funding, is
designed to cover Funding's fixed charges, principally interest expense, at a
coverage ratio mutually agreed upon by Funding and JCPenney. The earnings to
fixed charges coverage ratio has historically been at least one and one-half
times.

Since 1986, Funding has provided financing to JCPenney in accordance with the
loan agreement and no receivable balances have been purchased.

Funding is not and has not been involved in the administration of JCPenney's
retail credit operation and does not bear any expenses or receive any finance
charge revenue connected therewith.

For the 1994 third quarter and the nine-month period ended October 29, 1994,
income, expenses, and provision for taxes increased, as compared with the same
periods of 1993, as a result of higher average borrowing levels and higher
interest rates. Borrowing levels averaged $2,082 million in the 1994 third
quarter and $1,885 million during the 1994 nine-month period as compared with
$1,711 million and $1,259 million, respectively, during the comparable 1993
periods. Borrowings increased throughout 1994 in support of JCPenney's working
capital requirements. At the end of the third quarter of 1994, borrowing levels
were $2,235 million as compared with $1,995 million at the end of the 1993 third
quarter. For the third quarter and nine-month periods in 1994, average interest
rates increased 160 basis points and 105 basis points, respectively, as compared
with the same periods in 1993.
