1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The December
31, 1994 consolidated balance sheet included herein is derived from the audited
financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1994, but does not include all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles. The statements should be read in
conjunction with the significant accounting policies and notes to consolidated
financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.
The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Holdings, Inc., the common
stock of which is owned by Ford Motor Company ("Ford") and Ford Motor Credit
Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford.
2. IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and No. 118,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and
Disclosure", effective January 1, 1995. The effect on the Company's financial
statements was not material.
3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company will adopt the standard
January 1, 1996 and does not expect the impact on the financial statements to
be material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Pursuant to General Instructions H(2)(a), the following narrative analysis
is presented in lieu of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Revenues, Expenses and Operating Profit

------- ------- ------- ---
Operating Profit $ 81,145 $ 70,607 $10,538 15%
======= ======== ======= ===
Revenues
Consolidated revenues increased $30 million or 10% during the first six
months of 1995 primarily reflecting an 11% increase in average earning assets.
The increased revenues also result from a $7 million increase in gain on asset
sales, primarily in the Business Equipment Finance and Corporate Finance
business units.
Expenses
Total expenses for the first six months of 1995 increased $19 million or
9%, and are discussed below.
Sales, administrative and general expenses increased $2 million or 7% in
the first six months of 1995. The increase is a result of a new advertising
campaign, higher expenses to support the growing portfolio of earning assets
and normal inflationary increases.
Interest expense increased $29 million or 27% for the six-month period,
reflecting an increase during the period in average borrowings from $3.53
billion in 1994 to $3.92 billion in 1995 as a result of increased earning
assets and the increase in leverage effected at the end of 1994. In addition,
there was an increase in borrowing rates, which averaged 6.8% in the first six
months of 1995 compared to 6.0% in the 1994 period.
7
8
Depreciation expense on operating lease equipment decreased $6 million or
9% in the 1995 six-month period, although the average investment in the cost of
operating lease equipment increased 5% or $51 million during the period. The
reduction in depreciation expense is primarily a result of the increasingly
larger percentage of the operating lease portfolio invested in railcars, which
have longer useful lives and depreciate more slowly than other operating lease
equipment. In addition, the useful life of certain rail cars was extended at
the end of 1994, which reduced depreciation expense in the 1995 first six
months approximately $1 million.
Other expenses decreased $6 million or 33% in the 1995 first six months
due in part to a lower provision for losses (see Credit loss experience). In
addition, there was a decrease in operating lease expenses of approximately $3
million, primarily as a result of a decline in maintenance expenses incurred by
the Rail Services business unit. In the first half of 1994, special
maintenance costs were incurred for mandated inspections for 1,475 pressure
tank cars sold at the end of 1994.
Income before taxes on income
Based upon the discussion above, operating profit for the first six
months of 1995 improved $11 million or 15% compared with the first six months
of 1994 results.
Taxes on income
Income tax expense was 31.6% of income before taxes in the 1995 six-month
period compared with 32.1% in the same 1994 period. The decrease is primarily
a result of an increase in the percentage of income before taxes exempt from
Federal taxes.

GENERAL
Credit loss experience
The management of credit exposure is an important element of the
Company's business. The Company reviews the credit of all prospective
customers, and manages concentration exposures by customer, collateral type,
and geographic distribution. It establishes appropriate loss allowances based
on the credit characteristics and the loss experience for each type of
business, and also establishes additional reserves for specific transactions if
it believes this action is warranted. Delinquent receivables are reviewed by
management monthly, and generally are written down to expected realizable value
when, in the opinion of management, they become uncollectible or when they
become more than 180 days past due. Collection activities continue on accounts
written off when management believes such action is warranted.
The table below shows certain information on the Company's allowance for
doubtful accounts related to earning assets for the periods indicated:

Investment in associated companies 18 18 18
------ ------ ------
Total $5,250 $4,606 $5,043
====== ====== ======
During the first half of 1995, accounts receivable over 90 days past due
decreased $10 million, primarily as a result of the restructuring of a $16
million note, collateralized by an aircraft, which had been delinquent at
December 31, 1994. This decrease in accounts receivable over 90 days past due
was offset in part by a delinquent note in the amount of $11 million,
collateralized by an office building in Minnesota. Management is currently in
the process of attempting to restructure this note. Additions to the allowance
for doubtful accounts decreased $3 million when compared to the first six
months of 1994, primarily as a result of management's evaluation of the
adequacy of the loss reserve.
