NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Financial Statements
Sears DC Corp. ("SDC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sears,
Roebuck and Co. ("Sears"), is principally engaged in the
borrowing in domestic and foreign debt markets and lending
the proceeds of such borrowings to Sears and certain direct
and indirect subsidiaries of Sears in exchange for their
unsecured notes. In the last quarter of 1992, SDC stopped
selling medium-term notes and in March 1993, SDC discontinued
issuing commercial paper.
On March 9, 1993, SDC entered into a loan agreement with
Sears for the investment of available funds. The interest
rate paid to SDC by Sears under this agreement was designed
to produce earnings sufficient to cover SDC's fixed charges
(principally interest on SDC's indebtedness) at least 1.25
times. On March 22, 1994, the agreement was amended to
reduce the fixed charge coverage to 1.005. Required payments
of principal and interest to SDC under the Sears borrowing
agreement will be sufficient to allow SDC to make timely
payments of principal and interest to the holders of its
securities.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted. The significant accounting policies used in the
presentation of these financial statements are consistent
with the summary of significant accounting policies set forth
in SDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994, and these financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
found therein. The results of operations for the interim
periods should not be considered indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SDC has invested funds in the promissory notes of Sears,
which pay interest sufficient to cover SDC's fixed charges
1.005 times, and in highly liquid short-term investments.
SDC discontinued the sale of medium-term notes in the last
quarter of 1992. The $1.37 billion in outstanding medium-
term notes as of June 30, 1995 are not redeemable prior to
their stated maturity except for notes having a stated
maturity at the time of issue of more than seven years which
may be redeemed under certain circumstances in the event of
declining Discover Card receivables of Sears former
subsidiary, Dean Witter, Discover & Co.
Results of Operations
Due to the significant reduction in SDC's outstanding debt,
interest and related expenses decreased 15.5% and 16.2% for
the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 1995
from the same periods in 1994. Earnings covered fixed
charges 1.005 times for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995 compared to 1.006 times for the comparable periods
in 1994.
