                        _________________________________



To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the AT&T Capital
Corporation Excess Benefit Plan:


     We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of
the AT&T Capital Corporation Excess Benefit Plan (the "Plan") at   
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income and
changes in plan equity for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Plan at   
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the income and changes in plan equity for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                AT&T CAPITAL CORPORATION EXCESS BENEFIT PLAN
                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Description of Plan

     The following description of the AT&T Capital Corporation Excess
Benefit Plan (the "Plan"), a nonqualified defined contribution plan,
provides a summary of the material terms of the Plan.

General

     AT&T Capital Corporation (the "Company" or "Employer") sponsors the
AT&T Capital Corporation Retirement and Savings Plan, as amended (the
"RSP"), a qualified defined contribution money purchase and profit sharing
plan covering employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the Plan to allow eligible
employees to receive contributions which would otherwise be limited under
the RSP by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") to the
lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the participant's taxable wages (up to the IRC
compensation limit pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of $150,000 in 1995 and
1994). Under the RSP, participants are entitled to make before and 
after-tax contributions limited to 12% of annual pay. The Company makes a
matching contribution equal to 66-2/3% of the participant's contributions 
up to 6% of their annual pay (the "Company match"). In addition, the
Company is required to make annual contributions (the "uniform points
contributions") to the Plan equal to 5% of total payroll with respect to
each year.  The Company may also make a discretionary uniform points
contribution with respect to each Plan year.  Unless and until the
Company's Board of Directors or Compensation Committee otherwise directs,
the discretionary uniform points contribution shall equal 4% of total
payroll, as defined.  The uniform points contributions are allocated to
participants based on years of service and pay. Participants in the RSP
with aggregate participant and Employer contributions for the year that
exceed the IRC limitations automatically participate in the Plan.  The
provisions of the Plan allow for Company match and uniform points
contributions, in excess of IRC limits described above, to be credited to
participant accounts under the Plan. RSP participant before and after-tax
contributions exceeding these IRC limitations will be refunded to the
participant.

Vesting

     Plan participants employed by the Company before January 1, 1994, are
fully vested in the Company match and related earnings. Participants first
employed by the Company after December 31, 1993, become vested in the
Company match and related earnings within 1-1/2 years of continuous
service.  Participants vest in the uniform points contributions and related
earnings over 5 years of continuous service at a rate of 20% per year.

     Regardless of the number of years of continuous service, a participant
shall be fully vested in the Company match and uniform points contributions
and related earnings if the participant terminates employment because of
disability, terminates employment on or after attaining age 65 or upon the
<PAGE>
<PAGE>8


occurrence of certain other events (including a change in control of the
Company) as defined in the Plan document.  See Note 6 for a discussion of
AT&T Corporation's ("AT&T") plans to sell the Company.

Forfeitures

     Non-vested contributions credited under the Plan are forfeited upon
termination.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, forfeited non-vested
accounts were $331.  No amounts were forfeited in 1994.

Payment of Benefits

     The vested portion of a participant's account will be paid to the
participant in 60 monthly installments upon the participant attaining the
age of 65. The Company, at its sole discretion, may commence such payments
to a terminated participant prior to their 65th birthday. Upon death, a
lump sum payment equaling the vested portion of the participant's account
will be paid to the participant's beneficiary.



2. Accounting Policies

Funding

     The Plan is considered an unfunded nonqualified deferred compensation
plan under the IRC, and therefore, not subject to most of the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  In May,
1995, the Company invested the contributions due to the Plan for the year
ended December 31, 1994 and related earnings through that date in an
irrevocable grantor trust with Merrill Lynch (the "Trust").  Benefits
payable under the Plan will be paid from the Trust.  The assets of the
Trust have been invested in the Merrill Lynch Government Fund (the
"Government Fund").  The Government Fund invests in a portfolio of
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.  The Company invested the 1995 employer contributions
due the Plan in the Trust in March, 1996.

Administrative Costs

     All costs and expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

Receivable from Employer

     The receivable from the Employer represents uniform points
contributions and related earnings due under the Plan at December 31, 1995
and 1994. There was no Company match due under the Plan at December 31,
1995 and 1994.

     The receivable from the Employer will earn interest at a rate no less
than the rate of return on investments in the Government Fund or similar
investment option. Earnings on Employer contributions will commence as of
December 31 of that year.

<PAGE>9


3. Administration of the Plan

     The Plan is administered by an Administrative Committee appointed by
the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. Merrill
Lynch has been appointed as recordkeeper for the Plan.


4. Federal Income Tax Status

     The Plan is not a qualified plan under Section 401 of the IRC and;
therefore, is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Earnings on Trust
assets are taxable to the Company. Plan participants are not taxed, for
federal income tax purposes, on Company contributions to the Plan or
earnings on Plan assets until the taxable year in which such contributions
are received by the participant.  The Company is not entitled to a current
tax deduction for contributions made to the Plan until such time as the
benefits are taxable to the participant.


5. Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to
amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time.


6.  AT&T Sale of the Company

     In September, 1995 AT&T announced plans to sell its controlling
interest in the Company either publicly or to another company.  If AT&T
sells a controlling interest in the Company in a private transaction, the
Plan provides for participants to become fully vested in the Company match,
uniform points contributions and related earnings.
