Note 1 - Taxes on Income
The income tax provision is based upon the expected effective
tax rate applicable to the full year. The effective tax rate is
higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in 1994 and 34% in
1993 due to higher tax rates relating to foreign operations and
adjustment for state taxes net of federal benefit.

Note 3 - Debt (continued)
The aggregate amounts of maturities of debt for the twelve
month periods following June 30, 1994 are as follows (in
millions): 1995, $2,512.7 (including $2,280.0 of commercial paper
and short-term borrowings); 1996, $193.8; 1997, $215.8; 1998,
$412.6; 1999, $118.7; after 1999, $1,201.3.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
1994 and for the six months ended June 30, 1993 was reduced by
$1.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of interest income
relating to refunds of prior years state, local and federal
income taxes.
At June 30, 1994, approximately $64 million of the registrant's
consolidated shareholders' equity was free of dividend
limitations pursuant to its existing debt agreements.
On June 8, 1994, the registrant and Ford entered into a
revolving loan agreement under which the registrant may borrow
from Ford from time to time in amounts of up to $250 million
outstanding at any one time. Obligations of the registrant under
the agreement would rank pari passu with the registrant's Senior
Debt Securities. This agreement by its terms expires on June 30,
1999, on which date any amounts then outstanding thereunder are
required to be repaid. In addition, at June 30, 1994, the
registrant had $238.9 million of outstanding loans from Ford.
The registrant and its subsidiaries have entered into
arrangements to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest
rates. These arrangements include primarily interest-rate swap
agreements and forward rate agreements. The differential paid or
received on interest-rate swap agreements is recognized as an
adjustment to interest expense. The effect of these agreements
is to make the registrant less susceptible to changes in interest
rates by effectively converting certain variable rate debt to
fixed rate debt. Because interest rates for fixed rate debt are
generally higher than for variable rate debt, the effect at June
30, 1994 of the swap agreements is to give the registrant an
overall effective weighted-average rate on debt of 6.7%, with 35%
of debt effectively subject to variable interest rates, compared
to a weighted-average interest rate on debt of 6.6%, with 49% of
debt subject to variable interest rates when not considering the
swap agreements. These agreements expressed in notional amounts
aggregated $667 million at June 30, 1994. Notional amounts are
not reflective of the registrant's obligations under these
agreements because the registrant is only obligated to pay the
- 10 -

Note 3 - Debt (continued)
net amount of interest rate differential between the fixed and
variable rates specified in the contracts. At June 30, 1994, the
fair value of all contracts (notional principal of $715 million,
which includes $48 million of notional principal scheduled to
start after June 30, 1994) which is representative of the
registrant's obligations under these contracts, assuming the
contracts were terminated at that date, was approximately a net
payable of $3.7 million.
Note 4 - Change in Ownership and Supplemental Disclosure of
Noncash Investing and Financing Activities
In March 1994, Ford Motor Company ("Ford") acquired the
registrant's Common Stock owned by Commerzbank Aktiengesell-
schaft. On April 29, 1994, the registrant redeemed its preferred
and common stock owned by AB Volvo for $145 million, borrowing
the funds from Ford to pay for the redemption, and Ford purchased
all of the common stock of the registrant owned by Park Ridge
Limited Partnership. This resulted in the registrant becoming a
wholly owned subsidiary of Ford. In addition, the $150 million
subordinated promissory note of the registrant held by Ford Motor
Credit Company, was exchanged for $150 million of Series B
Preferred Stock of the registrant. In connection with these
transactions, notes payable were increased by $145 million,
Series A Preferred Stock was reduced by $104 million, and
Additional Capital Paid-in was reduced by $41 million; interest
expense was increased by $8.6 million and provision for taxes was
decreased by $3.0 million; and subordinated promissory notes were
reduced by $150 million and Series B Preferred Stock was
increased by $150 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the registrant
purchased Ford vehicles at a cost of approximately $2.5 billion,
and sold Ford vehicles to Ford or its affiliates under various
repurchase programs for approximately $966 million.

THE HERTZ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 4 - Change in Ownership and Supplemental Disclosure of
Noncash Investing and Financing Activities (continued)
In 1992, the registrant entered into a lease agreement with a
third party lessor, Hertz Funding Corp. ("HFC"), providing for
the lease of vehicles purchased by HFC under a repurchase program
offered by Ford. As with similar lease transactions with vehicle
manufacturers in the past, the registrant acts as lessee and
servicer relating to the acquisition and return of leased
vehicles owned by HFC. Although the officers of HFC are
employees of the registrant, HFC is wholly owned by PAZ ABS
Corp., an entity unaffiliated with the registrant or any of its
subsidiaries, and the Board of Directors of HFC is controlled by
directors unaffiliated with the registrant or any of its
subsidiaries. Under the lease, which is accounted for as an
operating lease, the registrant makes payments equal to the
monthly depreciation and all expenses (including interest) of HFC
and is responsible for the remaining net cost on any vehicles
that become ineligible under the repurchase program. At June 30,
1994, the net cost of the vehicles leased under this agreement
was approximately $357 million.
Note 5 - Accounting Change
Effective January 1, 1994, the registrant adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which
requires a more detailed disclosure of debt and equity securities
held for investment, the methods to be used in determining fair
value, and when to record unrealized holding gains and losses in
earnings or in a separate component of shareholders' equity.
As of June 30, 1994, Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets include
available-for-sale securities at fair value of $5.9 million (cost
$6.1 million). The fair value is calculated using information
provided by outside quotation services. These securities include
various governmental and corporate debt obligations, with
maturity dates ranging from 1994 through 2014. For the six
months ended June 30, 1994, proceeds of $514,400 from the sale of
available-for-sale securities were received, and a gross realized
loss of $26,850 was included in earnings. Actual cost was used
in computing the realized loss on the sale. For the six months
ended June 30, 1994, unrealized holding losses and unrealized
holding gains, net of taxes, included in Shareholders' Equity
were $281,262 and $28,400, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Second Quarter 1994 vs. Second Quarter 1993
Revenues in the second quarter of 1994 of $826 million
increased by $86 million as compared to the second quarter of
1993. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in
the car rental operations resulting from a greater number of
transactions due to increased travel and an increase in market
share, and improvements in construction equipment rental and
sales in the United States due to increased volume resulting from
improvements in the economy in the United States. These
increases were partly offset by lower revenues in claim
administration and telecommunication services due to decreases in
volume, and from changes in foreign exchange rates.
Total expenses increased $67 million to $780 million in the
second quarter of 1994 as compared to $713 million in the second
quarter of 1993. Direct operating expense increased principally
due to the higher volume of business, but is lower in 1994 as a
percent of revenues due to more efficient fixed cost coverage.
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment increased primarily due
to an increase in vehicles and equipment operated and higher
prices for automobiles; these increases were partly offset by
higher net proceeds received on disposal of revenue earning
equipment in excess of book value primarily related to a decrease
in the number of "risk" vehicles in the car rental operations,
gains on the sale of equipment in the construction equipment
rental operations in the United States principally due to
improvements in the economy in the United States, partly offset
by credits recorded in 1993 resulting from valuing certain pre-
acquisition assets on a net of tax basis. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased primarily due to higher
advertising costs. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to higher debt levels in 1994 and $8.6 million
included in 1994 relating to interest receivable from Park Ridge
Limited Partnership which will not be collected, partly offset by
higher interest income in 1994.
The tax provision of $20 million in the second quarter of
1994 was higher than the tax provision of $13.8 million in the
second quarter of 1993, primarily due to higher income before
income taxes in 1994 and changes in effective tax rates. See
Note 1 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued).
First Half of 1994 vs. First Half of 1993
Revenues in the first half of 1994 of $1,521 million increased
by $145 million as compared to the first half of 1993. This
increase was primarily attributable to increases in the car
rental operations resulting from a greater number of transactions
due to increased travel and an increase in market share, and
improvements in construction equipment rental and sales in the
United States due to increased volume resulting from improvements
in the economy in the United States. These increases were partly
offset by lower revenues in claim administration and
telecommunication services due to decreases in volume, and from
changes in foreign exchange rates.
Total expenses increased $113 million to $1,476 million in the
first half of 1994 as compared to $1,363 million in the first
half of 1993. Direct operating expense increased principally due
to the higher volume of business, but is lower in 1994 as a
percent of revenues due to more efficient fixed cost coverage.
Depreciation of revenue earning equipment increased primarily due
to an increase in vehicles and equipment operated and higher
prices for automobiles; these increases were partly offset by
higher net proceeds received on disposal of revenue earning
equipment in excess of book value primarily related to a decrease
in the number of "risk" vehicles in the car rental operations,
gains on the sale of equipment in the construction equipment
rental operations in the United States principally due to
improvements in the economy in the United States, partly offset
by credits recorded in 1993 resulting from valuing certain pre-
acquisition assets on a net of tax basis. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased primarily due to higher
advertising costs. The increase in interest expense was
primarily due to higher debt levels and lower interest income in
1994 and $8.6 million included in 1994 relating to interest
receivable from Park Ridge Limited Partnership which will not be
collected, partly offset by lower interest rates in 1994 in the
foreign operations.
The tax provision of $19.2 million in the first half of 1994
was higher than the tax provision of $6.4 million in the first
half of 1993, primarily due to higher income before income taxes
in 1994 and changes in effective tax rates. See Note 1 to the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
