  CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
  Net income per common share and net income increased 10 and eight percent,
  respectively, for the six months, and seven and four percent,
  respectively, for the quarter.  Changing foreign currencies significantly
  reduced reported results for the six months and quarter. Excluding the $16
  million non-cash charge for the adoption of SFAS 121 in first quarter 1996
  and foreign currency impact, net income per common share and net income
  would have increased 11 and 10 percent for the six months, respectively.
  For the quarter, net income per common share and net income would have
  increased 10 and eight percent, respectively, excluding foreign currency
  impact.
    During the quarter, the Company repurchased four million shares of
  common stock for approximately $200 million, bringing total share
  repurchase for the six months to 10.7 million shares for about $500
  million.  Fewer shares outstanding resulted in higher increases in net
  income per common share compared with the increases in net income.
    Systemwide sales represent sales by Company-operated, franchised
  and affiliated restaurants.  Total revenues consist of sales by Company-
  operated restaurants and fees from restaurants operated by franchisees and
  affiliates.  These fees are based upon a percent of sales with specified
  minimum payments.  On a global basis, the increases in sales and revenues
  for both periods were due to expansion, offset in part by weaker foreign
  currencies.  The unusually low number of net U.S. restaurant additions in
  both periods was primarily due to a greater number of restaurant closings,
  particularly satellite restaurant closings previously announced.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Company-operated margins as a percent of sales were about flat for the six
  months and lower for the quarter.  As a percent of sales, food & paper costs
  increased, while payroll costs decreased for both periods.  Occupancy & other
  operating costs as a percent of sales increased slightly for the six months
  and decreased slightly for the quarter.
    Franchised margin dollars comprised about two-thirds of the combined
  operating margins, the same as in the prior year.  While franchised
  margins as a percent of applicable revenues decreased slightly for both
  periods, franchised margin dollars increased six percent for the six
  months and five percent for the quarter.
    The increases in general, administrative & selling expenses were primarily
  due to strategic global spending to support the Convenience, Value and
  Execution Strategies, including costs associated with expansion outside
  the U.S. and continued investment in developing countries, offset in part
  by weaker foreign currencies.
    Other operating (income) expense--net is composed of transactions
  related to franchising and the foodservice business.  Gains on sales of
  restaurant businesses were lower since fewer restaurants were sold. The
  other category reflected lower expense for both periods.  This was
  primarily due to lower provisions for property dispositions in 1997 for
  the quarter, and for the six months, the $16 million charge for the
  adoption of SFAS 121 in first quarter 1996.

    Consolidated operating income increased $83 million or seven percent and
  $31 million or four percent for the six months and quarter, respectively.
  The increases reflected higher combined operating margin dollars and other
  operating income, offset in part by higher general, administrative &
  selling expenses and weaker foreign currencies.
    Higher interest expense in both periods reflected higher debt levels,
  offset in part by lower average interest rates and weaker foreign
  currencies.
    Nonoperating (income) expense reflected translation losses in both
  periods of 1997 compared with translation gains in 1996, and in the six
  months ended June 30, 1996, losses associated with the reduction of the
  carrying value of the Company's investment in Discovery Zone common stock
  to zero.
    The effective income tax rate was 32.5 and 31.9 percent for the six
  months and quarter of 1997, respectively, compared with 33.0 and 32.8
  percent for the corresponding periods of 1996.  For the year 1997, the
  Company expects the effective tax rate to be in the range of 32.0 to 32.5
  percent.

  OPERATING RESULTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.
  The sales increases outside the U.S. for both periods were driven
  primarily by expansion, offset in part by weaker foreign currencies.
  Comparable sales in constant currencies increased slightly for the quarter
  and decreased slightly for the six months.  If exchange rates had remained
  at 1996 levels, sales outside the U.S. would have increased 18 and 16
  percent for the quarter and six months, respectively.  Severe weather in
  Europe in the first quarter and weak economies in both periods negatively
  affected results.

      Revenues increased at a faster rate than sales in both periods. This
  was primarily due to the weakening Japanese Yen, which had a greater
  effect on sales than revenues due to our affiliate structure in Japan, and
  the higher growth rate in Company-operated versus franchised restaurants.
        Of the larger international markets, the following had strong
  sales and operating income growth for both periods of 1997:  the
  Philippines and Taiwan in Asia/Pacific; England, Italy, Spain, Sweden and
  Switzerland in Europe; and Mexico in Latin America.  Our operations in
  Canada were negatively affected by increased competition and low consumer
  spending due to high unemployment; weak economies also negatively affected
  our operations in France and Germany, although France improved in the
  second quarter.
      The increases in operating income outside the U.S. in both periods
  were driven by higher Company-operated and franchised margin dollars, and
  increases in other operating income.  Weaker foreign currencies and higher
  general, administrative & selling expenses necessary to fund expansion and
  continued investment in developing countries partly offset these
  increases.
      Company-operated margins as a percent of sales declined in both
  periods.  As a percent of sales, increases in food & paper costs and
  occupancy & other operating costs were offset in part by decreases in
  payroll costs.
       Franchised margins as a percent of revenues were relatively flat
  in the six months and up for the quarter.

  IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES ON REPORTED RESULTS
  While changing foreign currencies affect reported results, McDonald's
  lessens exposures by primarily purchasing goods and services in local
  currencies, financing in local currencies and hedging certain foreign-
  denominated cash flows.
    The weakening of the Japanese Yen and Deutsche Mark were the primary
  foreign currency changes that negatively affected results in
  both periods.  The following table illustrates what 1997 results would have
  been if exchange rates had remained at 1996 levels compared with reported
  results.

  U.S. OPERATING RESULTS
  U.S. sales increased in both periods due to restaurant expansion (497
  restaurants were added in the 12 months ended June 30, 1997).  U.S. comparable
  sales were slightly positive for the six months and slightly negative for
  the quarter.  This performance reflected successful marketing and
  promotions including Monopoly, Chicken McNuggets and Teenie Beanie Babies
  and disappointing results from the price component of Campaign 55.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

        U.S. sales increased at a faster rate than revenues primarily
  because the number of U.S. franchised and affiliated restaurants increased
  over the past year while the number of Company-operated restaurants
  decreased.
      U.S. operating income increased slightly for the six months and
  decreased slightly for the quarter.  This performance reflected lower
  Company-operated margin dollars and higher general, administrative &
  selling expenses, offset in part by higher franchised margin dollars, and
  for the quarter, lower other operating expenses.
      Company-operated margins as a percent of sales remained relatively
  flat for the six months and declined for the quarter.  Cost trends as a
  percent of sales follow:  food & paper costs increased while payroll and
  occupancy & other operating expenses decreased for the six months; for the
  quarter, food & paper and payroll costs increased while occupancy & other
  operating expenses decreased.
      Franchised margins as a percent of revenues declined for both periods.
  These declines reflected slower revenue growth as a result of flat to
  negative comparable sales and rent adjustments.  The margins were also
  negatively affected by higher occupancy costs, primarily rent expense,
  driven by an increase in the number of leased sites.

  decreased 4%.  Together with other sources of cash such as borrowings,
  cash provided by operations was used primarily for capital expenditures,
  debt repayments, share repurchases and dividends.  The consolidated
  capital expenditure decrease of 3% for the six months ended June 30,
  resulted from a 30% decrease in U.S. capital expenditures offsetting a 14%
  capital expenditure increase from outside the U.S.  Based on input from
  local management, the Company has refined its plans and expects to add
  about 2,400 restaurants globally in 1997, with about 80% being outside the
  U.S.
