Note 4 - Notes and Loans Payable (Continued)
- --------------------------------

       The weighted average interest  rate on other  senior debt was 4.81%  at
       December  31, 1993,  including  the effect  of interest  rate  exchange
       agreements.   This rate has been  calculated on the  basis of  rates in
       effect  at December  31, 1993,  some of  which are floating  rates that
       reset daily.   Approximately 52%  of other senior debt  at December 31,
       1993 had interest rates, including the effect of interest rate exchange
       agreements,  that  were fixed  for  a  period of  more  than  one  year
       commencing  December 31, 1993.   The  weighted  average of  these fixed
       interest rates was 4.68% at December 31, 1993.  The mix of TMCC's fixed
       and  floating rate  debt  changes from  time  to  time as  a  result of
       interest rate risk management.

       Included in Notes and Loans Payable at December 31, 1993 were unsecured
       notes  payable in  various foreign  currencies.    Concurrent with  the
       issuance  of these unsecured notes, TMCC  entered into foreign currency
       and interest rate exchange agreements to convert these foreign currency
       obligations  into   fixed  U.S.  dollar  liabilities   at  maturity  of
       $2.8 billion.  These obligations are  translated at the various foreign
       currency  exchange  rates  in  effect  at  December  31,  1993.     The
       receivables or payables, arising as a result of the difference  between
       the December 31,  1993 exchange rates and the forward rates at maturity
       applicable  to   the  foreign  currency  and   interest  rate  exchange
       agreements, are classified in Other Receivables or Accounts Payable and
       Accrued Expenses,  respectively, and would aggregate  to a net  payable
       position of $271 million at December 31, 1993.


Note 5 - Provision for Income Taxes
- -----------------------------------

       Effective October  1, 1993 the  Company adopted  Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Statement
       No. 109").   The adoption of  Statement No. 109  changed the  method of
       accounting for  income taxes  from  a deferred  method to  a  liability
       method.   This method differs from  the previously used  method in that
       deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes  in
       tax rates and laws in  the period such changes are enacted resulting in
       adjustments to  the current period's income statement.   The cumulative
       effect of the  change in accounting  principle was not material  to the
       Company's financial  position or results  of operations.   Prior period
       financial statements have not been restated.

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

Introduction

The  earnings  of  Toyota  Motor Credit  Corporation  ("TMCC")  are  primarily
affected  by interest margins and  the average outstanding  balance of earning
assets.  The interest rates charged on retail finance receivables and implicit
in leases are fixed at the time acquired.  Yields on the majority of wholesale
receivables  and  other  loans to  dealers  vary  with  changes in  short-term
interest  rates.  Funding requirements are primarily met through earning asset
liquidations and  the issuance of  debt obligations  of varying terms  at both
fixed  and  floating interest  rates.   TMCC  utilizes interest  rate exchange
agreements  and foreign  currency  and interest  rate  exchange agreements  in
managing the cost of borrowed funds.

The  business of  TMCC and  its subsidiaries  (collectively the  "Company") is
substantially dependent  upon the  sale of  Toyota and  Lexus vehicles  in the
United  States.    Lower  levels of  sales  of  such  vehicles  resulting from
governmental  action, decline  in  demand,  changes  in  pricing  due  to  the
appreciation of  the yen against  the United States  dollar, or other  events,
could  result in a reduction in the  level of finance and insurance operations
of the  Company.  To date, the level of  the Company's operations has not been
restricted by the level of sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

TMCC's earning assets totaled  $11.1 billion at December 31, 1993, compared to
$10.4 billion  at September 30,  1993 and $9.4  billion at December  31, 1992.
The increases from September 30, 1993 and December 31, 1992 were primarily due
to the growth in leasing.

Retail  finance  receivables,  net  of unearned  income,  were  $4.7  billion,
$4.6 billion, and $4.8  billion at December 31, 1993, September  30, 1993, and
December  31, 1992,  respectively.   Retail receivables  at December  31, 1993
remained  relatively  level  from  September  30,  1993  as  the  increase  in
receivables  from  contract volume  was offset  by  liquidations.   The slight
decline  in retail  receivables from December  31, 1992 reflected  the sale of
retail   finance  receivables  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  1993  and
liquidations offset by  the increase  in receivables from  contract volume  in
fiscal 1993.

Lease  finance  receivables,  net  of  unearned  income,  and  investments  in
operating  leases,  net of  accumulated  depreciation,  totaled $5.2  billion,
$4.8 billion, and $3.5  billion at December 31, 1993, September  30, 1993, and
December 31, 1992,  respectively. The  increases from September  30, 1993  and
December 31, 1992 reflected the significant increase in lease contract volume,
primarily  in operating leases,  due to the  growth in special  lease programs
sponsored  by Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. ("TMS") and increasing consumer
acceptance of leasing. 

Wholesale  receivables and  other dealer  loans increased  to $1.2  billion at
December 31, 1993 from $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion at September 30, 1993 and
December  31, 1992, respectively.   The increases from  September 30, 1993 and
December  31,  1992  resulted  from  the increase  in  the  number  of dealers
participating in the TMCC's wholesale financing program and the higher average
wholesale receivable balance per dealer.

Total financing revenues  increased 24% in  the first  quarter of fiscal  1994
from 1993.  The increase in the first  quarter of fiscal 1994 was attributable
to the continued growth  in earning assets,  primarily from leases.   Contract
volume  and finance penetration related to TMCC's vehicle retail financing and
leasing programs are summarized below:

Finance penetration........................               29.5%       23.7%
</TABLE>

In the first quarter  of fiscal 1994, the growth in total  contract volume and
finance penetration was due to the  increased leasing of both Toyota and Lexus
vehicles.  Finance  penetration represents  the percentage of  new Toyota  and
Lexus vehicle deliveries in  the United States (excluding Hawaii)  financed or
leased  by TMCC.    The increase  in lease  contract  volume was  attributable
primarily to the  effect of the  growth in special lease programs sponsored by


                                      -9-  
<PAGE>
TMS during the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and also  to broader acceptability
of leasing as  a financing option in  the vehicle retail sales  market.  Under
these special lease programs, TMCC offered reduced monthly payments on certain
new vehicles to  qualified lessees and  received an amount  from TMS for  each
vehicle leased.  Amounts received  approximate the balances required   by TMCC
to  maintain  revenues at  standard program  levels  and are  earned  over the
expected  lease terms.  The level of  sponsored program activity  varies based
on TMS  marketing  strategies.   TMCC recognized  revenues of  $9 million  and
$5 million  in the  first  quarters of  fiscal  1994 and  1993,  respectively,
related to all amounts received under various TMS programs.  Management of the
Company  anticipates that  the  higher level  of  lease contract  volume  will
continue as TMS-sponsored programs are expected  to continue for some time and
as the acceptability  of leasing as  a financing  option for retail  customers
further increases.  

Another factor contributing to  the significant growth in leasing   (primarily
in investments in operating leases) in  both the first quarters of fiscal 1994
and 1993 was a trend toward shorter-term leases for Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
Shorter-term leases have been utilized as a method  of accelerating the return
of retail  lease customers to  the new vehicle  market, and management  of the
Company intends to continue its emphasis on shorter terms.

Uninsured  vehicle  residual  values   were  approximately  $2.9  billion  and
$1.8 billion at December 31, 1993  and 1992, respectively.  To date,  TMCC has
incurred  no material  losses as a  result of  residual value  risk.  Although
TMCC's  experience has been limited,  management of the  Company believes that
the  residual values  of  its leases  reflected  in the  financial  statements
represent realizable values.

In  the first  quarter of  fiscal 1994  TMCC's primary  source of  revenue and
earning  asset  growth  was  leasing.    Leasing  revenues  increased  56%  to
$247 million in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1994  primarily  due  to  an
86% increase in average  investments in  operating leases from  1993.   Retail
financing  revenues decreased  15% to  $104 million  in the  first quarter  of
fiscal  1994  due  to a  decrease  in  the  level  of average  retail  finance
receivables outstanding and  a continuing  decline in yield.   Average  retail
finance receivables outstanding declined  in the first quarter of  fiscal 1994
as  compared to  1993  primarily due  to  the effect  of the  sale  of finance
receivables in  the fourth quarter  of fiscal 1993.   The decline in  yield on
average earning  assets reflected the effect of  competitive market conditions
and  a sustained period  of lower interest  rates, with  lower yielding retail
instalment sales  contracts and  leases replacing liquidating  higher yielding
retail  instalment  sales contracts  and leases.    Management of  the Company
anticipates  that this trend in  declining yields will  continue during fiscal
1994.  

Wholesale  and  other dealer  financing revenues  increased  19% in  the first
quarter of fiscal 1994  as compared to 1993.  The increase  in revenues in the
first  quarter of fiscal 1994 resulted primarily from higher average wholesale
receivable balances.  The total average wholesale receivable balance increased
in  the  first quarter  of fiscal  1994 largely  due  to increased  numbers of
dealers  participating  in  TMCC's  wholesale financing  programs  and  higher
average wholesale receivable  balances per  dealer.  The  increased number  of
dealers  participating in TMCC's wholesale financing program was due to TMCC's
ongoing marketing efforts and competitive market conditions.

Interest  expense decreased 4% in the first  quarter of fiscal 1994 from 1993.
The  decrease in interest expense  resulting from lower  market interest rates
was largely  offset by higher  average borrowing levels  required to  fund the
growth  of earning assets.  The weighted  average cost of borrowings was 4.97%
and 6.03% for the three months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Depreciation on operating leases increased 83%  in the first quarter of fiscal
1994 from 1993 as a result of the growth in investments in operating leases.  

Net  financing revenues increased 12% to $121  million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1994.   The increase was primarily attributable to  growth in the level
of  earning assets.   Interest margin is  the excess of  the combined interest
rate yield on  finance receivables and implicit  in leases over the  effective
interest rate  cost of total  borrowings.  Interest  margins decreased  in the
first quarter of fiscal  1994 from 1993 as a result of the decline in yield on
retail  instalment sales contracts and leases decreasing more rapidly than the
decline in borrowing costs.   Management anticipates continued decline  in the
interest margin primarily due to the  expected continuing decline in yields on
average earning assets in fiscal 1994.

Other revenues  increased 64% during  the first quarter  of fiscal 1994.   The
increase in other revenues resulted primarily from the continued growth in the
Company's insurance operations.  

The  Company's earnings  increased  in the  first  quarter of  fiscal 1994  as
summarized below:

Operating and administrative  expenses increased  8% in the  first quarter  of
fiscal  1994.    This  increase  reflected  costs  for  additional  personnel,
facilities,  and other  resources required  to  service the  Company's growing
customer  base.  Operating and  administrative expenses also  increased due to
the  growth in  the Company's  insurance operations  in the  first quarter  of
fiscal 1994.

The provision  for credit losses is largely a function of changes in the level
and mix of  earning assets.  The  provision for credit losses  decreased 7% in
the first quarter of fiscal  1994 from 1993 as  the effect of the increase  in
the  growth  in  earning  assets  was  more  than  offset  by  favorable  loss
experience.  The favorable trend  in credit loss experience is   attributable,
in part, to improved  credit granting procedures, collection efforts,  and the
mix  of  earning assets.    The Company  will  continue to  place  emphasis on
controlling  its credit loss exposure;  however, there are  no assurances that
this favorable trend will continue.

Operating profits (reflected as  "Income before income taxes")   increased 33%
to $76 million  in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 from 1993 primarily due to
the increase in financing  revenues as a result of the growth  in the level of
earning assets.  Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 increased 31%
due to the higher level of operating profits.

Financial support is provided by TMS, as necessary, to maintain TMCC's minimum
fixed charge coverage at the level specified in the  Operating  Agreement.  As
a result  of the favorable operating  profits in the first  quarters of fiscal
1994 and 1993, TMCC did not receive any financial support from TMS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires, in  the normal course of business, substantial   funding
to support  the level of its earning assets.   Significant reliance is  placed
on the  Company's ability  to obtain  debt funding in  the capital  markets in
addition  to  funding provided  by earning  asset  liquidations and  growth in
retained earnings.  Debt funding has been obtained primarily from the issuance
of debt  securities in the European  and United States capital  markets.  Debt
issuances have generally  been in  the form of  commercial paper,  medium-term
notes ("MTNs") and other debt securities.  This funding has  been supplemented
by loans and equity contributions from TMS.  

Commercial paper issuances and  borrowings from TMS are  specifically utilized
to meet short-term funding  needs.  Commercial paper outstanding  under TMCC's
commercial   paper  program   ranged  from   approximately  $349   million  to
$842 million  during  the first  quarter  of  fiscal  1994.   To  support  the
commercial paper program,  along with  other uses, TMCC,  in conjunction  with
TMS,  maintains committed and  uncommitted unsecured  credit lines  with banks
totaling $775 million.  At December 31, 1993, no loans  were outstanding under
any of these lines; however,  approximately $135 million in letters of  credit
had  been issued, related to the Company's insurance operations, which reduced
the availability of the lines to $640 million.

Borrowings from TMS ranged from  zero to $60 million during the  first quarter
of fiscal  1994, with  an  average outstanding  balance of  $8  million.   The
interest rate charged by  TMS to TMCC for interest-bearing  loans approximates
the Federal  Reserve  Board's one-month  commercial paper  composite rate  for
firms whose bonds are rated AA.

MTNs,  with original terms  ranging from nine  months to ten  years, have been
issued in the European and United States capital markets to  meet a portion of
long-term  and short-term funding requirements.   During the  first quarter of
fiscal  1994,  TMCC  issued  approximately  $259  million  of  MTNs  of  which
approximately  $75 million  had  maturity  dates  on  the  date of issuance of


                                     -12- 
<PAGE> 
more  than one  year.  MTNs  outstanding at  December 31,  1993, including the
effect of  foreign currency translations, totaled  approximately $3.4 billion.
At  January 31,  1994,  TMCC  had  approximately  $304 million  of  securities
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which  remained
available  for issuance  under TMCC's United  States public MTN  program.  The
maximum  aggregate principal amount authorized  to be outstanding  at any time
under TMCC's  Euro MTN  program  is $4.0 billion.   As  of  January 31,  1994,
$2.5 billion  of other debt securities  were available for  issuance under the
Euro  MTN program.  The  United States and Euro MTN  programs may from time to
time be expanded to allow for the continued use of these sources of funding.
                      
Along  with MTNs,  long-term funding  requirements have  been met  through the
issuance of other  forms of debt securities  underwritten in the European  and
United  States   capital  markets.     At  December  31,   1993  approximately
$4.1 billion  of debt  securities, including  the effect  of foreign  currency
translations, was  outstanding in the European  capital markets.   Of the $4.1
billion  debt securities, $2.3 billion was  denominated in foreign currencies.
Underwritten debt securities  outstanding in the United States  public market,
excluding MTNs,  totaled approximately $600 million at  December 31, 1993.  At
January 31, 1994, approximately $700 million of securities registered with the
SEC, excluding MTNs, were available for issuance.  

TMCC utilizes a variety of techniques  to manage its foreign currency exchange
rate risk and interest rate risk.  Long-term debt issued in foreign currencies
is hedged by concurrently executed foreign currency and interest rate exchange
agreements.   The  mix of  fixed and  floating interest  rates on  TMCC's debt
outstanding  is  periodically  adjusted  through  the  use  of  interest  rate
contracts,  including interest  rate  exchange agreements  and option  related
products. 

Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") placed the long-term ratings of TMCC and
its  related companies  (including Toyota  Motor Corporation), in  addition to
other Japanese automakers, on CreditWatch with negative implications in August
1993.  On February 9, 1994, S&P affirmed the long-term ratings of TMCC and its
related  companies and removed them  from CreditWatch, but  indicated that the
rating  outlook  is  negative.    The  Company  currently  anticipates  having
continued access to its primary funding sources.   

From time to time, TMS has made equity contributions to maintain TMCC's equity
capitalization  at  certain  levels.    Such  levels  have  been  periodically
established by TMS as it deems appropriate.  No such equity contributions were
made during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

Cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities have been
used  primarily  to support  earning  asset  growth.    Cash provided  by  the
liquidation  of earning assets, totaling $2.3 billion during the first quarter
of  fiscal 1994,  was  used to  purchase  additional finance  receivables  and
investments in operating  leases.  Investing activities resulted  in a net use
of cash in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 as cash  provided by earning asset
liquidations was insufficient to  support the growth in  earning assets.   Net
cash  used in investing  activities was $837  million in the  first quarter of
fiscal 1994.




                                     -13-  
<PAGE>
The growth  in earning  assets  was also  supported by  net  cash provided  by
operating activities which totaled $206 million in the first quarter of fiscal
1994.   Additionally,  cash  available at  the  beginning  of the  period  was
utilized resulting  in  a lower  level  of net  cash  required from  financing
activities to support  the growth in earning assets.   Net cash flows provided
by financing activities totaled  $140 million in the  first quarter of  fiscal
1994, representing a $238 million decrease from December 31, 1992.

Management  of the Company believes that cash provided by operating, investing
and  financing activities will be  sufficient to meet  the Company's liquidity
and capital resource needs in the future.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

In November  1992, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board  issued Statement
No.  112,   "Employers'  Accounting for  Postemployment Benefits"  ("Statement
No. 112").   Statement No.  112 requires  accrual, during  the years that  the
employee renders the necessary service or when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred, of  the expected cost of providing  postemployment benefits
to former or  inactive employees, their beneficiaries,  and covered dependents
after employment but  before retirement.   The Company's  current practice  of
accounting  for these  benefits is  on a  cash basis.    Statement No.  112 is
effective for fiscal  years beginning after December 15, 1993.   At this time,
the Company  has not elected early adoption of Statement No. 112; however, the
estimated  impact  of  adoption  on  the  financial  position  or  results  of
operations is not considered to be material.

In  May  1993, the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement
No. 114,  "Accounting  by Creditors  for  Impairment  of a  Loan"  ("Statement
No. 114"),  which requires a creditor  to evaluate the  collectibility of both
contractual interest  and principal of certain receivables  when assessing the
need  for a  loss accrual  and to  measure  loans that  are restructured  in a
troubled debt  restructuring to  reflect the time  value of money.   Statement
No. 114  is not  applicable  to leases  and  large groups  of  smaller-balance
homogeneous  loans that are collectively evaluated  for impairment.  Statement
No.  114  applies to  financial statements  for  fiscal years  beginning after
December 15, 1994.  At  this time, the Company has  not elected early adoption
of  Statement No.  114;  however,  the estimated  impact  of adoption  on  the
financial position or results of operations is not considered to be material.

In  May 1993,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement
No. 115, "Accounting  for Certain Investments  in Debt and  Equity Securities"
("Statement  No.  115"),  which addresses  the  accounting  and reporting  for
investments in  equity securities that  have readily determinable  fair values
and  for all  investments  in  debt securities.    These  investments will  be
categorized  as held-to-maturity  securities and  reported at  amortized cost;
trading  securities  and reported  at fair  value,  with unrealized  gains and
losses included in earnings; or available-for-sale securities  and reported at
fair  value, with  unrealized  gains and  losses  excluded from  earnings  and
reported  in a separate component of shareholders'  equity.  Statement No. 115
is  effective for  fiscal years  beginning after  December 15, 1993.   At this
time,  the  Company  has not  elected  early  adoption  of Statement  No. 115;
however, the estimated impact of adoption on the financial position or results
of operation is not considered to be material.

                        PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

            Various legal  actions, governmental proceedings and  other claims
            are  pending or  may  be instituted  or asserted  in  the   future
            against TMCC and its subsidiaries with respect to  matters arising
            from  the ordinary course of  business.  Certain  of these actions
            are  or  purport to  be class  action  suits, including  two suits
            involving collateral  protection practices similar to  suits which
            have been  filed against various other  financial institutions and
            captive  finance  companies.      TMCC  is  engaged  in settlement
            negotiations  in one  of the  two collateral  protection practices
            suits and  is defending the other.   It is possible  that TMCC may
            become a  defendant in other similar  actions.  At  this time, the
            Company  believes any  resulting  liability from  the above  legal
            actions, proceedings  and other claims will  not materially affect
            its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
