Note 4:
- ------
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112), as of January
1, 1994. FAS 112 requires that postemployment benefits be recognized on the
accrual basis of accounting. Postemployment benefits include primarily
Company provided medical benefits to disabled employees and Company provided
life insurance as well as other disability- and death-related benefits to
former and inactive employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents.
The one-time effect of adopting FAS 112 in the first quarter of 1994 was a
non-cash, after-tax charge of $2.8 million (net of approximately $1.9 million
of income taxes).
In October 1994, an amendment of FAS 114, Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income
Recognition and Disclosures" was issued. FAS 114 as amended, was adopted
effective January 1, 1995 with no material effect to the Company.

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations - second quarter of 1995 compared to second quarter
of 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Income for the second quarter of 1995 was $37.8 million compared to $35.0
million for the same period of 1994, an increase of 8.0 percent. The
increase is principally due to a higher amount of finance income
resulting from higher net investment levels in addition to higher levels
of fee income partially offset by higher borrowing costs and higher
selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
Finance income in the second quarter of 1995 increased 18.3 percent to
$159.7 million. Finance income for Internal small-ticket financing
programs increased 13.3 percent to $75.2 million and External large-
ticket financing programs increased 19.9 percent to $47.0 million
primarily due to higher investment levels and higher fee based programs
partly offset by lower lease rates on new business. Finance income
related to External small-ticket financing programs increased 19.3
percent to $28.2 million primarily due to higher investment levels and
higher lease rates in 1995. Revenue generated from mortgage servicing
increased to $9.3 million in the second quarter of 1995 compared to $5.8
million in the second quarter of 1994 due to a larger mortgage servicing
portfolio.
SG&A expenses were $33.3 million in the second quarter of 1995 compared
to $26.6 million for the same period of 1994. SG&A expenses for Internal
small-ticket financing programs increased .9 percent to $13.4 million due
to higher personnel costs offset by lower amortization of deferred
initial direct costs. SG&A expenses for External large-ticket financing
programs increased 10.7 percent to $3.9 million primarily due to higher
personnel related costs partly offset by lower amortization of deferred
initial direct costs. SG&A expenses for External small-ticket financing
programs increased $5.0 million to $12.5 million principally due to
higher costs related to managing the Company's assets transferred from
its German affiliate and a higher level of marketing fees paid to brokers
on higher levels of new business. SG&A expenses related to mortgage
servicing increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of 1995 to $3.5
million due to higher operating costs associated with the larger mortgage
servicing portfolio.
Depreciation on operating leases was $2.5 million in the second quarter
of 1995 compared to $2.9 million for the same period of 1994.
Amortization of purchased mortgage servicing rights increased to $3.9
million in the second quarter of 1995 compared to $2.7 million in the
second quarter of 1994 due to the larger mortgage servicing portfolio.
Amortization of deferred costs associated with the Company's
participation in a partnership transaction completed in the fourth
quarter of 1993, totalled $.6 million for the second quarter of 1995
compared to $.9 million for the second quarter of 1994.
Pitney Bowes Credit Corporation - Form 10-Q
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
Page 11 of 18
The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 1995 was $13.1
million compared to $13.9 million in the second quarter of 1994. The
provision for Internal small-ticket financing programs increased 1.7
percent to $8.5 million primarily due to higher investment levels. The
provision for External large-ticket financing programs resulted in a
credit of $.6 million, which was $.9 million favorable to prior year
reflecting adjustments for management's current evaluation of expected
losses. The provision for the External small-ticket financing programs
of $5.2 million was even with the second quarter of 1994.
The Company's allowance for credit losses as a percentage of net lease
receivables (net investments before allowance for credit losses and
deferred investment tax credits plus the uncollected principal balance of
receivables sold) was 2.11 percent at June 30, 1995 and 2.12 percent at
December 31, 1994.
Interest expense was $50.9 million in the second quarter of 1995 compared
to $36.8 million for the same period of 1994. The increase primarily
reflects higher short-term interest rates as well as higher average
borrowings in the second quarter of 1995. The effective interest rate on
short-term average borrowings was 5.84 percent for the second quarter of
1995 compared to 3.77 percent for the same period of 1994. The Company
does not match fund its financing investments and does not apply
different interest rates to its various financing portfolios.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1995 was 31.9 percent
compared to 34.0 percent for the same period of 1994. The decrease is
principally due to the impact of the residual portfolio purchase
completed in the fourth quarter of 1994 and a higher level of tax-exempt
income.
The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 2.08 times for the
second quarter of 1995 compared to 2.43 times for the same period of
1994. The decrease reflects a significantly higher effective interest
rate in 1995.

Results of Operations - first six months of 1995 compared to first six
months of 1994
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first six months of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994,
finance income increased 17.6 percent, while income before the one-time
effect of a change in accounting for postemployment benefits was $73.8
million compared to $68.6 million for the same period of 1994, an
increase of 7.5 percent. The prior year period reflects the impact of
adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112) as of January 1, 1994.
FAS 112 requires that postemployment benefit costs be recognized on the
accrual basis of accounting for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1993. Postemployment benefits include primarily Company provided medical
benefits to disabled employees and Company provided life insurance as
well as other disability- and death-related benefits to former or
inactive employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents. The one-
time effect of adopting FAS 112 was a non-cash, after-tax charge in 1994
of $2.8 million.
The factors that affected the change in finance income and income before
the effect of a change in accounting for postemployment benefits were
essentially the same as those affecting the second quarter of 1995 versus
1994.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's principal sources of funds are from operations and
borrowings. It has been PBCC's practice to use a balanced mix of
maturities, variable- and fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap
agreements to control its sensitivity to interest rate volatility.
PBCC's debt mix was 64 percent short-term and 36 percent long-term at
June 30, 1995 and 70 percent short-term and 30 percent long-term at
December 31, 1994. PBCC's swap adjusted variable-rate versus fixed-rate
debt mix was 52 percent variable-rate and 48 percent fixed-rate at June
30, 1995 and 56 percent variable-rate and 44 percent fixed-rate at
December 31, 1994. The Company may borrow through the sale of commercial
paper, under its confirmed bank lines of credit, and by private and
public offerings of intermediate- or long-term debt securities.
Pitney Bowes Credit Corporation - Form 10-Q
Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

In May 1995, the Company issued $100 million of 6.250 percent notes due
in June 1998 and $100 million of 6.625 percent notes due in June 2002.
In June 1995, the Company also issued $25 million of medium-term notes
due in June 1998 and $50 million due in June 2000 with a weighted average
coupon rate of 6.014 percent.
The Company has $125 million available from a $500 million shelf
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in October 1992. The Company also had unused lines of credit and
revolving credit facilities totaling $1.59 billion at June 30, 1995,
largely supporting its commercial paper borrowings.
The Company continues to develop strategies in support of ongoing debt
level management. Emphasis on fee-based transactions and consideration
of the sale of certain financing transactions are expected to continue to
control the growth of External large-ticket investments and debt levels.
Additional financing will be arranged as deemed necessary. The Company's
borrowing requirements will be primarily dependent upon the level of
equipment purchases from Pitney Bowes Inc., the level of External large-
and small-ticket financing activity and the refinancing of maturing debt.
The Company's utilization of derivative instruments is currently limited
to interest rate swap agreements (interest rate swaps) and foreign
currency exchange forward contracts (foreign currency contracts). The
Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps as a means of
managing interest rate exposure. The interest rate differential to be
paid or received is recognized over the life of the agreements as an
adjustment to interest expense. The Company is exposed to credit loss in
the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate
swaps to the extent of the differential between fixed- and variable-
rates; such exposure is considered minimal. The Company has entered into
foreign currency contracts for the purpose of minimizing its risk of loss
from fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with certain
intercompany loans and certain transfers to the Company by foreign
affiliates of foreign currency denominated lease receivables. The
Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
counterparties to the foreign currency contracts to the extent of the
difference between the spot rate at the date of the contract delivery and
the contracted rate; such exposure is also considered minimal.
Since the Company normally enters into derivative transactions only with
members of its banking group, the credit risk of these transactions is
monitored as part of the normal credit review of the banking group. The

Gross finance assets (gross finance receivables plus unguaranteed
residual valuation) at the end of the second quarter of 1995 increased
4.0 percent from December 31, 1994. The increase is principally due to
higher levels of new volume in all financing programs. Gross finance
assets at June 30, 1995 were 11.4 percent, or $528.6 million higher than
June 30, 1994. Overall levels of lease receivables are in line with
management's expectations.
The Company's liquidity ratio (finance contracts receivable, including
residuals, expected to be realized in cash over the next 12 months to
current maturities of debt over the same period) was .64 times at June
30, 1995 and .61 times at December 31, 1994.
The Company will continue to use cash to invest in finance assets with
emphasis on Internal and External small-ticket leasing transactions and
controlled investment in External large-ticket financing programs. The
Company believes that cash generated from operations and collections on
existing lease contracts will provide the majority of cash needed for
such investment activities. Additional cash, to the extent needed, is
expected to be provided from commercial paper and intermediate- or long-
term debt securities. While the Company expects that market acceptance
of its short- and long-term debt will continue to be strong, additional
liquidity is available, if needed, under revolving credit facilities and
credit lines.
In December 1992, as part of the restructuring and reincorporation of its
German affiliate, Adrema Leasing Corporation (Adrema), the Company
purchased certain finance receivables and other assets from Adrema. In
connection with these assets, Pitney Bowes Inc. and the Company
(Companies) have completed their inquiry and evaluation, begun in 1993,
of the assets and liabilities of the German leasing business. At this
time, the Companies believe that sufficient reserves for credit losses
are in place to provide for currently expected losses. As part of the
orderly liquidation of assets from leasing non-Pitney Bowes products in
Germany, Adrema continues to bill and collect accounts and repossess and
remarket collateral where possible. These activities are expected to
continue for the remainder of the lease terms.
The Companies are scrutinizing the circumstances surrounding the losses.
German authorities have undertaken criminal proceedings with respect to
the conduct of certain German lessees of non-Pitney Bowes products and,
at the request of the Companies, with respect to the disposition of the
Companies' German leasing business assets. These proceedings include the
former general manager of the Companies' German leasing business and
others involved in that business. The principals of one of the
Companies' large German leasing accounts have been convicted of fraud
against Adrema and others. The Companies are party to certain civil
litigation and are continuing their evaluation of additional actions they
can take against former management personnel of their German leasing
business and others.
