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


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.

Subsequent to the first quarter of 1994, Merrill Lynch Money Markets Inc. became
the third dealer to sell Funding's commercial paper.

For the first quarter of 1994, income, expenses, and provision for taxes
increased as compared with the first quarter of 1993, as a result of higher
average borrowing levels. Borrowing levels averaged $1,735 million during the
1994 first quarter as compared with $928 million during the comparable 1993
period.  Borrowings increased significantly during the quarter in support of
JCPenney's working capital requirements.  At the end of the first quarter of
1994, borrowing levels were $1,709 million as compared with $884 million at the
end of the 1993 first quarter.
