NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Chrysler Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries ("Chrysler") include the accounts of all significant
majority-owned subsidiaries and entities. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Chrysler for the three and six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring
items (with the exception of the items discussed in Note 3), which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods. The operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the entire year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial
statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1993. Amounts for 1993 have been reclassified to conform with
current period classifications.
Note 2. Inventories
Inventories, summarized by major classification, were as follows:

Note 3. Changes in Accounting Principles
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
Effective January 1, 1994, Chrysler adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." This new accounting standard specifies the accounting and
reporting requirements for changes in the fair values of investments in debt
and equity securities which have readily determinable fair values. Adoption of
this accounting standard did not have a material effect on Chrysler's
consolidated financial statements at January 1, 1994.
Nonpension Postretirement Benefits
Effective January 1, 1993, Chrysler adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," which requires the
accrual of such benefits during the years the employees provide services. The
adoption of this accounting standard resulted in an after-tax charge of $4.68
billion, or $13.86 per common share. This one-time charge represented the
immediate recognition of the SFAS No. 106 transition obligation of $7.44
billion, partially offset by $2.76 billion of estimated tax benefits.
Implementation of SFAS No. 106 did not increase Chrysler's cash expenditures for
nonpension postretirement benefits.
Postemployment Benefits
Effective January 1, 1993, Chrysler adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This accounting standard requires the
accrual of benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment
but prior to retirement. Adoption of this accounting standard resulted in the
recognition of an after-tax charge of $283 million, or $0.84 per common share.
Adoption of SFAS No. 112 did not increase Chrysler's cash expenditures for
postemployment benefits. Previously reported results for the six months ended
June 30, 1993 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 112
effective January 1, 1993.

Item 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Note 3. Changes in Accounting Principles - Continued
Impaired Loans
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1994. This new accounting standard requires
creditors to evaluate the collectibility of both contractual interest and
principal of receivables when evaluating the need for a loss accrual. Chrysler
has not determined the impact that the adoption of this accounting standard will
have on its consolidated operating results or financial position. Chrysler
plans to adopt this standard on or before January 1, 1995, as required.
Note 4. Sales of Automotive Assets and Investments
During the second quarter of 1994, Chrysler sold certain of the soft trim
operations of its Acustar division, and entered into a five-year supply
agreement with the purchaser. Aggregate net proceeds from the sale and the
supply agreement were approximately $100 million. The related pretax gain of
approximately $60 million has been deferred and will be recognized over the term
of the supply agreement.
During the first quarter of 1994, Chrysler sold the wiring harness operations
of its Acustar division, and entered into a five-year supply agreement with the
purchaser. Aggregate net proceeds from the sale and the supply agreement were
approximately $225 million. The related pretax gain of approximately $196
million has been deferred and will be recognized over the term of the supply
agreement.
During the second quarter of 1993, Chrysler sold the plastics operations of its
Acustar division for net proceeds of $132 million, resulting in a pretax gain
of $60 million ($39 million after applicable income taxes). Also during the
second quarter of 1993, Chrysler sold an aggregate of 27 million shares of
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation for proceeds of $177 million, resulting in a
pretax gain of $111 million ($70 million after applicable income taxes).
Note 5. Changes in Estimated Service Lives of Fixed Assets
During the second quarter of 1994, Chrysler revised the estimated service
lives of certain special tools and property and equipment. These revisions
were based on updated assessments of the service lives of the related assets
and resulted in the recognition of additional amortization of special tools of
$89 million and decreased depreciation of property and equipment of $15
million for the second quarter of 1994.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Chrysler Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Chrysler")
reported earnings before income taxes of $1.6 billion for the second quarter of
1994, compared with $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 1993. For the first
six months of 1994, Chrysler reported earnings before income taxes and the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of $3.1 billion, compared
with $2.0 billion for the comparable period of 1993. Pretax earnings for the
second quarter and first six months of 1993 included gains on sales of
automotive assets and investments of $171 million.
The improvement in operating results in the second quarter and first six
months of 1994 over the corresponding periods of 1993 resulted from an increase
in sales volume and pricing actions, including lower per unit sales incentives,
partially offset by increased employee costs. Chrysler's worldwide factory car
and truck sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 were 702,802
units, a 7 percent increase from the second quarter of 1993, and 1,443,400
units, an 11 percent increase over the first six months of 1993. Combined U.S.
and Canadian dealers' days supply of vehicle inventory decreased to 45 days at
June 30, 1994 from 63 days at December 31, 1993 and 50 days at June 30, 1993.
Net earnings for the second quarter of 1994 were $956 million, or $2.61
per common share, compared with $685 million, or $1.86 per common share, in the
second quarter of 1993. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1994
were $1.9 billion, compared to a net loss of $3.8 billion for the comparable
period of 1993. The net loss for the first six months of 1993 resulted from a
charge of $4.7 billion, or $13.86 per common share, for the cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle related to the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Results for the first six months
of 1993 also included a charge of $283 million, or $0.84 per common share, for
the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle relating to the
adoption of SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
In the second quarter of 1994, North American vehicle industry retail
sales, on a Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate basis, were 16.4 million cars and
trucks, compared to 15.6 million units for the second quarter of 1993, an
increase of 5 percent. Chrysler's U.S. and Canada combined retail car and truck
market share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 remained
consistent with the corresponding 1993 periods, as increases in truck market
share were offset by decreases in car market share, as shown in the following
table:

(1) All market share data include fleet sales.
The decline in Chrysler's U.S. car market share for the three and six month
periods was the result of declines in sales of models which are scheduled to be
replaced in the fall of 1994, partially offset by increases in sales of
subcompact cars due to the introduction of the Dodge and Plymouth Neon. The
increases in U.S. truck market share for the three and six month periods reflect
increased sales in the full-size pickup truck and sport-utility market
segments, resulting from the introduction of Chrysler's all-new Dodge Ram pickup
truck in 1993 and the continued success of Jeep(R) vehicles.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - Continued
Pretax earnings of Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC") for the second
quarter of 1994 and 1993 were $69 million and $62 million, respectively. For
the six months ended June 30, 1994, CFC's earnings before income taxes and the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles were $144 million,
compared to $112 million for the comparable period of 1993. The improved
results in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 compared to the
corresponding periods of 1993 were primarily the result of higher levels of
automotive financing and lower provisions for credit losses, partially offset by
reduced retail automotive margins. CFC reported net earnings of $44 million in
each of the second quarters of 1994 and 1993. CFC's net earnings for the first
six months of 1994 and 1993 were $91 million and $51 million, respectively.
CFC's net earnings for the first six months of 1993 included charges totaling
$30 million for the adoptions of SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 112.
Chrysler's revenues and results of operations are principally derived
from the North American automotive marketplace. During the first six months of
1994, North American automobile industry sales increased from the 1993 levels,
as the economic recovery continued. Chrysler experienced sales growth
consistent with the North American automobile industry. In response to this
continued economic recovery, during the first quarter of 1994 Chrysler revised
its productive asset acquisition plans to increase its worldwide production
capacity by approximately 500,000 units per year by 1996. These planned
capacity expansions increased Chrysler's projected spending for new product
development and the acquisition of productive assets, and could result in the
hiring of up to 6,000 additional employees by the end of 1996.
COMPARISON OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF REVENUE AND COSTS
Chrysler's total sales and revenues for the second quarter and first six
months of 1994 and 1993 were as follows:
<TABLE>

--------- --------- --------- --------
Total sales and revenues $ 13,082 $ 11,031 19 % $ 26,305 $ 21,935 20 %
========= ========= ========= ========
</TABLE>
The increase in sales of manufactured products in the second quarter of
1994 primarily reflects the 7 percent increase in factory unit sales as compared
to the second quarter of 1993, and an increase in the average revenue per unit,
net of sales incentives, to $17,676 in the second quarter of 1994. The increase
in sales of manufactured products in the first six months of 1994 primarily
reflects the 11 percent increase in factory unit sales as compared to the first
six months of 1993, and an increase in the average revenue per unit, net of
sales incentives, to $17,236 for the six months ended June 30, 1994. The
increase in average revenue per unit in both 1994 periods was largely due to
sales of a larger proportion of trucks and pricing actions, including lower per
unit sales incentives.
The decrease in finance and insurance income in the three and six months
ended June 30, 1994 as compared to the corresponding 1993 periods was primarily
the result of reduced nonautomotive financing revenue, reflecting sales and
downsizing of nonautomotive financing operations. Total automotive financing
volume in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 was $17.9 billion and
$35.0 billion, respectively, compared to $15.6 billion and $29.7 billion for the
corresponding 1993 periods. Financing support provided in the U.S. by CFC for
new Chrysler vehicle retail deliveries (including fleet) and wholesale vehicle
sales to dealers and the number of vehicles financed during the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

Costs, other than items below increased in the second quarter and first
six months of 1994 primarily as a result of increased factory unit sales and
sales of an increased proportion of higher-priced vehicles. Costs, other than
items below were 76 percent of sales of manufactured products for each of the
three and six months ended June 30, 1994, compared to 79 percent for each of the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1993. These decreases were primarily
attributable to greater capacity utilization and an increased mix of
higher-margin vehicles.
Depreciation of property and equipment for the second quarter of 1994
declined as compared to the second quarter of 1993 as a result of revisions,
effective April 1, 1994, to the estimated service lives of several classes of
property and equipment.
Special tooling amortization increased significantly in the second quarter
and first six months of 1994 compared with the respective 1993 periods
primarily as a result of the shortening of the remaining service lives of
certain special tools, effective April 1, 1994.
The increase in selling and administrative expenses for the 1994 periods,
as compared to the 1993 periods, primarily resulted from increased advertising
expenses related largely to the introduction of the Dodge and Plymouth Neon,
and increased profit-based employee costs.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
COMPARISON OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF REVENUE AND COSTS - Continued
Pension expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30,
1994 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1993 due to the improved
funding of the plans (including the $3.5 billion in contributions made in
1993). These decreases were partially offset by the reduction in the discount
rate used to measure the projected benefit obligation and scheduled increases
in benefits included in the 1993 national contracts with Chrysler's principal
collective bargaining units.
Nonpension postretirement benefit expense increased slightly in the 1994
periods, as compared to the 1993 periods, due to the decrease in the discount
rate used to measure the accumulated nonpension postretirement benefit
obligation.
The decrease in interest expense for the second quarter and first six
months of 1994 was primarily due to lower average borrowings. The reduced
average borrowings resulted from CFC's first quarter 1993 sales of its
nonautomotive financing operations and Chrysler's early redemption of $769
million of its outstanding debt in the fourth quarter of 1993. CFC's average
effective cost of borrowings was 8.4 percent in both the second quarter and
first six months of 1994, compared to 8.4 percent and 8.6 percent in the
corresponding periods of 1993. The decrease in the six month period primarily
reflects lower term debt costs, partially offset by higher short-term interest
rates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Chrysler's combined cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled $6.9 billion at June 30, 1994 (including $519 million held by CFC), an
increase of $1.8 billion from December 31, 1993. The increase in the first six
months of 1994 was the result of cash generated by operating activities,
partially offset by pension contributions and capital expenditures.
During the first quarter of 1994, Chrysler revised its near-term new
product development and productive asset acquisition plans to include various
actions intended to increase the capacity at several of its facilities.
Chrysler currently expects to spend approximately $21 billion in the 1994 to
1998 period for new product development and the acquisition of productive
assets.
Chrysler's projected pension benefit obligation in excess of plan assets
was $2.2 billion at December 31, 1993. Chrysler contributed $1.3 billion to the
pension fund in the first six months of 1994. During the second quarter of
1994, Chrysler announced an objective, subject to a continuation of present
general economic, industry and capital market trends, to fully fund the
remaining pension obligation by the end of 1994. In order to achieve this
objective, Chrysler currently expects that the level of contributions during the
remainder of 1994 will be similar to the amount of contributions made during the
first six months of 1994.
At June 30, 1994, Chrysler (excluding CFC), had debt maturities of $417
million remaining in 1994, $282 million in 1995, and $41 million in 1996.
Chrysler believes that cash from operations and its cash position will be
sufficient to enable it to meet its capital expenditure, pension, debt maturity
and other funding requirements.
Chrysler's ability to market its products successfully depends
significantly on the availability of inventory financing for its dealers and, to
a lesser extent, the availability of financing for retail and fleet purchasers
of its products, both of which CFC provides.
Receivable sales continued to be a significant source of funding for CFC,
which realized $3.5 billion of net proceeds from the sale of retail receivables
in the first six months of 1994, compared to $3.7 billion in the first six
months of 1993. In addition, CFC's revolving wholesale receivable sale
arrangements provided funding which aggregated $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion at
June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued
During the second quarter of 1994, CFC replaced its existing U.S. and
Canadian credit facilities and receivable sale agreements. The new agreements
provide for lower total commitments, less restrictive financial covenants and
reductions in borrowing spreads and commitment fees and the removal of security
interests in CFC's U.S. assets. At June 30, 1994, CFC had U.S. and Canadian
credit facilities totaling $5.2 billion and receivable sale agreements totaling
$1.7 billion. At June 30, 1994, no amounts were outstanding under CFC's U.S.
and Canadian credit facilities or receivable sale agreements.
At June 30, 1994, CFC had debt maturities of $4.1 billion during the
remainder of 1994 (including $3.1 billion of commercial paper), $626 million in
1995, and $1.1 billion in 1996. CFC believes that cash provided by operations,
receivable sales, and the issuance of term debt and commercial paper will be
sufficient to enable CFC to meet its funding requirements.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1994. This new accounting standard requires
creditors to evaluate the collectibility of both contractual interest and
principal of receivables when evaluating the need for a loss accrual. Chrysler
has not determined the impact that the adoption of this accounting standard will
have on its consolidated operating results or financial position. Chrysler
plans to adopt this standard on or before January 1, 1995, as required.
REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Deloitte & Touche, Chrysler's independent public accountants, performed
a review of the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
1994 and 1993 in accordance with the standards for such reviews established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The review did not
constitute an audit, and accordingly, Deloitte & Touche did not express an
opinion on the aforementioned data. Refer to the Independent Accountants'
Report included at Exhibit 15A.

with its investments in Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC") and its
investments in short-term vehicle rental subsidiaries (the "Car Rental

Note: Earnings (loss) per common share amounts were computed by dividing
earnings (loss) after deduction of preferred stock dividends by the
average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding.
In the three months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, and in the six
months ended June 30, 1994, fully diluted per common share amounts
assume conversion of the convertible preferred stock, the elimination
of the related preferred stock dividend requirement, and the issuance of
common stock for all other potentially dilutive equivalents outstanding.
Computations of primary earnings per common share exclude the effect of
common stock equivalents and shares contingently issuable for any period
in which their inclusion would have the effect of increasing the earnings
per common share amount or decreasing the loss per common share amount
otherwise computed. Fully diluted per common share amounts are not
applicable for loss periods.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Chrysler Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as of June 30, 1994 and
1993, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
which should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Chrysler Corporation and
consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of earnings and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated January 18, 1994, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
