Item 1. BUSINESS
CHRYSLER CORPORATION
GENERAL
Chrysler Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware on March 4, 1986, and is the continuing corporation of mergers into
itself of a number of its operating subsidiaries, including Chrysler Motors
Corporation, which was originally incorporated in 1925.
Chrysler Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Chrysler")
operates in two principal industry segments: automotive operations and
financial services. Automotive operations include the research, design,
manufacture, assembly and sale of cars, trucks and related parts and
accessories. Financial services include the operations of Chrysler Financial
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("CFC"), which is engaged in
wholesale and retail vehicle financing, servicing nonautomotive leases and
loans, and property, casualty and other insurance. Chrysler also participates
in short-term vehicle rental activities through its subsidiaries (the "Car
Rental Operations") and manufactures electronics products and systems through
its Chrysler Technologies Corporation subsidiary. Chrysler's principal
executive offices are located at Chrysler Center, 12000 Chrysler Drive,
Highland Park, Michigan 48288-0001. The telephone number of those offices is
(313) 956-5741.
AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
Chrysler and its subsidiaries manufacture, assemble and sell cars and
trucks under the brand names Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, Eagle and Jeep, and
related automotive parts and accessories, primarily in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. Passenger cars are offered in various size classes and
models. Chrysler produces trucks in light-duty, sport-utility and van/wagon
models, which constitute the largest segments of the truck market. Chrysler
also purchases and distributes under the Dodge, Plymouth and Eagle brand names
certain passenger cars and trucks manufactured in Japan by Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation ("MMC"), as well as cars manufactured in the United States by MMC's
subsidiary, Diamond-Star Motors Corporation ("Diamond-Star").
Although Chrysler currently sells most of its vehicles in
the United States, Canada and Mexico, Chrysler also participates in other
international markets through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chrysler Motors de
Venezuela, S.A., and indirectly through its minority investments in Beijing
Jeep Corporation, Ltd. and Arab American Vehicles Company. In addition,
Chrysler distributes in Europe and other world markets vehicles produced in
North America and by Eurostar Automobilwerk Ges.m.b.H & Co. KG ("Eurostar"), a
joint venture between Chrysler and Steyr-Daimler-Puch Fahrzeugtechnik of Graz,
Austria. Eurostar began producing and distributing Chrysler minivans in March
1992. During 1993, Chrysler also entered into an agreement with
Steyr-Daimler-Puch Fahrzeugtechnik to assemble up to 47,000 right and left-hand
drive Jeep Grand Cherokees per year in Austria beginning in late 1994.
Chrysler's automotive operations, including product
design and development efforts, manufacturing operations and sales, are
conducted mainly in North America. Chrysler's principal domestic competitors
in the United States are General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company. In
addition, a number of Japanese automotive companies own and operate
manufacturing and/or assembly facilities in the United States ("transplants")
and there are a number of other foreign manufacturers that distribute
automobiles and light-duty trucks in the United States.
Chrysler's plan is to focus on its core automotive
business. As part of this plan, Chrysler has sold certain assets and
businesses which are not related to its core automotive business, and may sell
other such assets in the future.
The automotive industry in North America is highly
competitive with respect to a number of factors, including product quality,
price, appearance, size, special options, distribution organization,
warranties, reliability, fuel economy, dealer service and financing terms. As
a result, Chrysler's ability to increase vehicle prices and the effectiveness
of its use of special sales incentives to improve sales are significantly
affected by the pricing actions and special sales programs of its principal
competitors. Moreover, the introduction of new products by other manufacturers
may adversely affect the market shares of competing products made by Chrysler.
Also, many of Chrysler's competitors have larger worldwide sales volumes and
greater financial resources, which may place Chrysler at a competitive
disadvantage in responding to substantial changes in consumer preferences or
governmental regulations that require major additional capital expenditures.
Adverse economic conditions in North America may also be more readily absorbed
by Chrysler's larger and more diversified competitors.

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Automotive Operations - Continued
Chrysler's long-term profitability depends upon its
ability to introduce and market its new products successfully. The success of
Chrysler's new products will depend on a number of factors, including the
economy, competition, consumer acceptance, Chrysler's ability to fund its new
product development and facility modernization programs, the effect of
governmental regulation and the strength of Chrysler's marketing and dealer
networks. As both Chrysler and its competitors plan to introduce new products,
Chrysler cannot predict the market shares its new products will achieve.
Moreover, Chrysler is substantially committed to the types of vehicles
contemplated by its product plans and would be adversely affected by
developments requiring a major shift in product design.

data for domestic retail sales of cars and trucks for the major domestic
manufacturers (including cars and trucks imported by them) and for

The Automotive Industry in the United States - Continued
Competition from foreign car and truck manufacturers, particularly
Japanese manufacturers, in the form of both exports to the United States and
sales by transplants, has been significant in recent years. The market share
for foreign passenger cars sold in the United States (including transplants)
increased from 32.1 percent in 1989 to 35.7 percent in 1991 but decreased to
34.0 percent during 1993. The market share for foreign trucks sold in the
United States (including transplants) increased from 16.0 percent in 1989 to
17.8 percent in 1991, but decreased to 14.8 percent during 1993. The Japanese
transplants enjoy several competitive advantages over domestic producers, such
as more flexible work rules, a younger, lower-cost work force and the absence
of significant numbers of retired workers and their attendant costs. Sales of
vehicles assembled in the United States by Japanese manufacturers have
increased to approximately 14.8 percent of the U.S. passenger car market and
5.4 percent of the U.S. truck market in 1993 from 14.1 percent and 5.3 percent,
respectively, in 1992.
Japanese manufacturers' exports to the United States are currently
subject to voluntary restraints limiting exports of new passenger cars
(excluding station wagons) from Japan to the United States. These restraints
have been in effect since 1981 and will continue in effect through March 1994
by a unilateral decision of the Japanese Government. For the 12 months ended
March 31, 1993, the Japanese export limit was 1.65 million cars while actual
exports during that period were 1.56 million cars. For the 12 months ending
March 31, 1994, Japanese exports are still limited to 1.65 million cars.
Estimated exports during the nine month period ended December 31, 1993 were
approximately 912,000 cars. There are no assurances as to what the restraints
on exports from Japan to the United States, if any, will be after March 31,
1994. A significant increase in the number of vehicles manufactured in Japan
and exported to the United States could adversely affect Chrysler's sales
levels and profitability.
Chrysler Canada Ltd.
Chrysler's consolidated subsidiary, Chrysler Canada Ltd. ("Chrysler
Canada"), operates manufacturing and assembly facilities and sales and
distribution networks in Canada. Chrysler Canada, whose operations are
substantially integrated with Chrysler's U.S. operations, manufactures
components and assembles front-wheel-drive minivan/wagons, front-wheel-drive
mid-size and large sedans, and rear-wheel-drive van/wagons. Chrysler Canada
began production of the mid-size and large sedans at its Bramalea, Ontario
facility in mid-1992 and early 1993, respectively. The Brampton, Ontario
facility was closed in 1992 when production of the Jeep Wrangler sport-utility
vehicle was transferred to Toledo, Ohio.
In 1993, Chrysler Canada produced 643,371 vehicles, of which 566,388
were sold outside of Canada. In 1992, Chrysler Canada produced 464,565
vehicles, of which 416,204 were sold outside of Canada. Chrysler Canada's
retail sales totaled 226,819 vehicles in 1993 and 205,071 vehicles in 1992, of
which 158,373 and 156,244, respectively, were produced outside of Canada. In
1993, Chrysler Canada's factory unit sales to Canadian dealerships accounted
for approximately 9.1 percent of Chrysler's total car and truck sales, compared
with 8.9 percent in 1992.
Chrysler Canada's retail unit sales of cars accounted for 14.7 percent
and 12.3 percent of the Canadian car market in 1993 and 1992, respectively. In
1993, retail unit sales of trucks accounted for 26.3 percent of the Canadian
truck market compared with 25.1 percent in 1992. In 1993, Chrysler Canada
ranked third in the Canadian industry in retail unit sales of both cars and
trucks.
Chrysler de Mexico
Chrysler's consolidated subsidiary, Chrysler de Mexico S.A. ("Chrysler
Mexico"), operates assembly and manufacturing facilities in Mexico, producing
vehicles and components for both Mexican and export markets. Chrysler Mexico
also distributes in the Mexican market finished vehicles imported from
Chrysler's U.S. and Canadian operations.
Chrysler Mexico's vehicle sales accounted for 16.0 percent of the
wholesale car market and 17.2 percent of the wholesale truck market in 1993,
compared with 19.7 percent and 19.6 percent, respectively, in 1992. Within the
Mexican industry, Chrysler Mexico's wholesale unit sales ranked third in cars
and trucks in both 1993 and 1992. In 1993, overall wholesale industry sales in
Mexico were 585,200 units, compared with 710,623 units in 1992, a decrease of
17.6 percent.

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Automotive Operations - Continued
Chrysler de Mexico - Continued
In 1993, Chrysler Mexico exported 104,712 automobiles, consisting of
Plymouth Acclaims, Dodge Spirits, Dodge Shadow coupes and convertibles,
Plymouth Sundances and Chrysler LeBaron sedans, compared with 70,395 units in
1992. In 1993, Chrysler Mexico also exported 36,660 trucks, consisting of
Dodge Ramchargers, Dodge Club Cab pickups, and selected models of the all-new
full-size Dodge Ram pickup trucks, compared with 30,331 units in 1992. In
addition, Chrysler Mexico provides certain major automobile components to
Chrysler, including engines and air conditioner condensers.
North American Free Trade Agreement
The North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") unites Mexico, Canada
and the United States into the world's largest trading region, a market with
more than 360 million consumers. NAFTA provides for the phase-out of trade
regulations which restricted vehicle imports and exports between Mexico and the
U.S. and Canada. Mexico represents a growing economy, and Chrysler ranks third
among worldwide manufacturers in wholesale unit sales in the Mexican car and
truck market. While Chrysler's management believes that NAFTA may result in
overall improvements in the North American automobile industry in the future,
the immediate impact of the agreement cannot be determined.
International Operations
Chrysler's automotive operations outside North America consist
primarily of Eurostar's manufacturing operations in Austria and the export of
finished vehicles and component kits produced in North America to independent
foreign distributors and local manufacturers. Chrysler has equity interests
in companies with manufacturing and assembly facilities in China, Venezuela,
and Egypt, and has established joint ventures with certain other foreign
manufacturers.
Chrysler's European shipments were 60,566 in 1993, consisting primarily
of 33,109 minivans and 21,895 Jeep vehicles, an increase of 11 percent from
1992. In addition, Chrysler sold 46,354 units in other world markets, primarily
in the Middle East, Taiwan and to U.S. military personnel. Chrysler continues
to export its newly designed Jeep Grand Cherokee, mid-size sedans and
right-hand drive Jeep Cherokees. In addition, Chrysler plans to export the new
Neon and Stratus passenger cars that will be introduced during 1994. Chrysler
also exported 19,946 kits to worldwide affiliates for overseas assembly of Jeep
vehicles. Most of the kits were shipped to Beijing Jeep Corporation Ltd. in
China and Chrysler's wholly-owned subsidiary in Venezuela.
Eurostar began production and distribution of Chrysler minivans in
March 1992 for the European market. Eurostar sold 33,738 minivans in 1993,
compared to 15,100 in 1992. The Eurostar facility launched a second shift
during 1993 and has a capacity of 55,000 vehicles per year. During 1993,
Chrysler entered into an agreement with Steyr-Daimler-Puch Fahrzeugtechnik to
assemble up to 47,000 right and left-hand drive Jeep Grand Cherokees annually
in Austria for the European and other world markets beginning in late 1994.
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation
Chrysler imports and distributes in the United States and Canada
selected models of passenger cars and light-duty trucks manufactured by MMC in
Japan and by its affiliates overseas. In 1993, Chrysler sold 69,646
MMC-manufactured vehicles in the United States (of which 67,988 were passenger
cars) representing 3.4 percent of Chrysler's U.S. retail vehicle sales during
1993. In 1992, Chrysler sold 67,474 MMC-manufactured vehicles in the United
States (of which 62,174 were passenger cars), representing 3.9 percent of
Chrysler's U.S. retail vehicle sales. In addition to passenger cars and light-
duty trucks, Chrysler purchases 3.0-liter V-6 engines for use in the production
of the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager minivans and other vehicles, and
intends to buy approximately 428,000 of these engines from MMC during the 1994
model year.

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Automotive Operations - Continued
Mitsubishi Motors Corporation - Continued
Diamond-Star produces small sporty cars in the United States for
Chrysler and Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America ("MMSA"). The Plymouth Laser
and Eagle Talon (marketed in the United States and Canada) and the Mitsubishi
Eclipse (marketed in the United States, Europe and Japan) are produced by
Diamond-Star. Chrysler sold its 50 percent interest in Diamond-Star to MMC,
its partner in the joint venture, in October 1991. Pursuant to a distribution
agreement that terminates in July 1999, Chrysler retains the right to purchase
a portion of Diamond-Star's production capacity. As long as Chrysler purchases
at least 60,000 units per year, Chrysler will also have co-exclusive rights for
the Eagle Talon replacement vehicle and exclusive rights for a replacement for
the Dodge Daytona and Chrysler LeBaron Coupe, both of which are planned for the
1994-95 period. In addition, Chrysler will provide engines and transmissions
for use in a portion of Diamond-Star's FJ-platform vehicles. During 1993,
Diamond-Star produced 135,610 units, of which 38,432 were for Chrysler and
97,178 were for MMSA. In 1992, Diamond-Star produced 140,156 units, of which
57,261 were for Chrysler and 82,895 were for MMSA. Chrysler's sales of
Diamond-Star cars in 1993 and 1992 represented 2.1 and 3.6 percent,
respectively, of Chrysler's U.S. retail vehicle sales volume in each period.
Under the terms of the United States Distribution Agreement ("USDA") in
effect between Chrysler and MMC, which terminates in March 1998, Chrysler and
MMSA share co-exclusive rights to distribute various MMC passenger car and
light-duty truck models which are available for sale in the United States. In
practice, Chrysler and MMSA share the distribution of certain models and
exclusively distribute other models. In connection with Chrysler's sale of its
50 percent interest in Diamond-Star to MMC in October 1991, the USDA was
amended to reassign a portion of MMC's total voluntary restraint agreement
quota from Chrysler to MMSA and to designate three vehicles as exclusive models
for MMSA.
Agreements similar to the USDA are in effect covering the Canadian
market. In practice, Chrysler Canada acts as sole distributor of MMC products.
The Japanese Government does not presently limit exports from Japan to the
Canadian vehicle market. Chrysler Canada distributes a two-door and four-door
subcompact Dodge and Plymouth Colt 100 and the Eagle Vista car imported from
MMC Sittipol Motors of Thailand (a MMC joint venture).
In 1992 and 1993, Chrysler sold 93.9 million shares of its equity
interest in MMC for approximately $544 million in cash, net of related
expenses, ending its equity interest in MMC.
Segment Information
Industry segment and geographic area data for 1993, 1992 and 1991 are
summarized in Part II, Item 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note
18.
Seasonal Nature of Business
Reflecting retail sales fluctuations of a seasonal nature, production
varies from month to month in the automotive business. In addition, the
changeover period related to new model introductions has traditionally occurred
in the third quarter of each year. Accordingly, third quarter operating
results are generally less favorable than those in the other quarters of the
year.
Automotive Product Plans
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Chrysler concentrated on the
development of fuel efficient, front-wheel drive cars.
Chrysler created a new market segment with the introduction of the
first minivan in 1983. The Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Chrysler Town
and Country were redesigned for the 1991 model year, freshened slightly for the
1994 model year and have captured 46.7 percent of the U.S. minivan market
segment for the 1993 calendar year versus 50.5 percent in 1992 despite new
competitive entries in the segment.
The 1987 acquisition of American Motors Corporation ("AMC") provided
Chrysler with the highly regarded Jeep nameplate and four-wheel-drive
technology. In the spring of 1992, the Jeep division introduced the all new
Grand Cherokee as an upscale companion to the existing Jeep lineup. The Jeep
Grand Cherokee and the Jeep Cherokee have collectively attained 32.5% of the
small sport-utility segment in calendar year 1993, up from 24.7% in 1992.

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Automotive Operations - Continued
Automotive Product Plans - Continued
In 1989, Chrysler initiated a strategic plan to replace all of its
passenger car platforms and its full-size pickup truck by 1995. Chrysler's
objective is to maintain and improve its positions in the minivan, small
sport-utility, and full-size pickup markets, while strengthening its passenger
car offerings.
To accomplish this goal, Chrysler changed the organizational structure
of its automotive design and development efforts by establishing
cross-functional product development groups called "platform teams." There are
four Platform teams: Small Car, Large Car, Minivan, and Jeep and Truck. Each
team includes designers, engineers, purchasing agents, manufacturing personnel,
financial analysts, sales and marketing personnel and supplier representatives.
Chrysler's platform team system is designed to (a) improve
communications and enhance collaborative problem solving as early as possible
in the design and development process; (b) reduce the cycle time required to
design and develop new vehicles, enhancing Chrysler's ability to respond to
market changes more quickly; (c) improve the quality of its new products
through the identification of potential problems early in the development
process; and (d) reduce the costs of developing new vehicle lines.
In the fall of 1992, Chrysler introduced the first of its all-new
passenger car platforms resulting from the new platform team concept. The
Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Eagle Vision compete primarily in the
important upper-middle segment. These cars employ a "cab-forward" design, with
the windshield steeply raked forward over the front axle. This design creates
more interior passenger space without significantly increasing vehicle size or
weight. The early success of these vehicles resulted in expanding production
to a second facility. Chrysler's share of the basic middle segment was 9.7
percent for 1993, compared to 5.3 percent for 1992. In early 1993, a new
Chrysler New Yorker and a touring derivative called the LHS were introduced
based on this platform.
In 1993, Dodge introduced the first truck designed under this platform
team system, a new full-size Ram pickup. This new pickup also marks the first
full-scale production use of a new "big gas" V-10 engine which was also used as
a basis for the design of the Dodge Viper V-10 engine.
The Small Car platform team introduced the subcompact Dodge and
Plymouth Neon in January 1994. The Neon introduces an all new family of
16-valve 4-cylinder engines, provides both driver and passenger airbags, and
also applies the "cab-forward" design used by the successful upper-middle
segment vehicles.
The Large Car platform team is expected to introduce, in the third
quarter of 1994, an all new compact car marketed as the Chrysler Cirrus and
Dodge Stratus. The Cirrus and Stratus will introduce two new engines, a
2.4-liter 16-valve double overhead cam 4-cylinder engine and a 2.5-liter
24-valve single overhead cam V-6 engine, provide driver and passenger airbags,
dynamic side impact protection, and also apply the "cab-forward" design used by
the successful upper-middle segment vehicles.
Automotive Marketing
New passenger cars and trucks are sold at retail principally by dealers
who have sales and service agreements with the manufacturer. The dealers
purchase cars, trucks, parts and accessories from the manufacturer for sale to
retail customers. In the United States, Chrysler had 4,726 dealers at December
31, 1993 compared with 4,779 at December 31, 1992. The U.S. dealers sold an
average of 433 vehicles per dealer in 1993 compared with an average of 358 in
1992. Chrysler Canada had 601 dealers at December 31, 1993 compared with 606
dealers at December 31, 1992. The Canadian dealers sold an average of 377 and
338 vehicles per dealer in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Chrysler's ability to maintain, expand and improve the quality of its
dealer organization will have an important impact on future sales. Chrysler
maintains programs to provide dealership operating capital by equity
investments where sufficient private capital is not available. The programs
anticipate that the dealer receiving such assistance will eventually purchase
Chrysler's equity investment from the dealer's share of the dealership profits.
Chrysler's equity interest in U.S. and Canadian dealerships totaled $37 million
in 91 dealerships as of December 31, 1993, compared with $40 million in 116
dealerships as of December 31, 1992.
Chrysler continues to focus on improving customer satisfaction
throughout the corporation. Chrysler has improved their Owner Relations
capabilities as they relocated the group to modern facilities with the latest
technology and added 49 representatives to assist owners requesting information
or assistance.

Manufactured and Purchased Components and Materials
Chrysler manufactures most of its requirements for eight-cylinder,
8.0-liter V-10, 3.5-liter V-6, 3.9-liter V-6, 3.8-liter V-6, 3.3-liter V-6,
in-line six-cylinder, four-cylinder, and derivative gasoline engines for cars
and trucks, gray iron casting for cylinder blocks for such engines, stampings
for passenger car and truck bodies, transmissions for cars and trucks,
automatic and manual transaxles, engine controllers, alternators, voltage
regulators, distributors, instrument clusters, radios and automotive air
conditioners, and processes about two-thirds of its requirements for fabricated
glass parts.
In the second quarter of 1993, Chrysler sold the plastics operations of
its Acustar division for $132 million, net of related expenses.
Chrysler uses approximately 16,600 suppliers for services, materials,
parts and components, and purchases from one or more of such firms
substantially all of its requirements for 3.0-liter V-6 engines and 5.9-liter
diesel engines, constant velocity joints, batteries, bearings, axles, bumpers,
carpets, cloth for trim and seat covers, vinyl trim and seat cushion back
covers, cylinder heads for four, six, and eight cylinder gasoline engines,
decorative die castings, fuel management systems, malleable iron, nuts, bolts
and other fasteners, radiators, raw glass, seat belts, steel, tires, wheels and
certain other items. Chrysler purchases a larger portion of its materials,
parts and other components from unaffiliated suppliers than do its principal
domestic competitors. Chrysler expects to continue purchasing its requirements
for these items rather than manufacturing them.
Government Regulation
Vehicle Regulation
Fuel economy, safety and emissions regulations and standards applicable
to motor vehicles have been issued from time to time under a number of federal
statutes, including the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966
(the "Safety Act"), the Clean Air Act, Titles I and V of the Motor Vehicle
Information and Cost Savings Act and the Noise Control Act of 1972. In
addition, the State of California has promulgated exhaust emission standards,
some of which are more stringent than the federal standards. Other states may,
under the Clean Air Act, adopt vehicle emission standards identical to those
adopted by the State of California. The States of New York and Massachusetts
have adopted such standards and several other states are considering similar
action. The American Automobile Manufacturers Association and the Association
of International Automobile Manufacturers have challenged the legality of
portions of both states' action on behalf of a number of vehicle manufacturers,
including Chrysler.
Vehicle Emissions Standards - Under the Clean Air Act, auto
manufacturers are required, among other things, to reduce significantly
tailpipe emissions of polluting gases from automobiles and light trucks and to
increase the length of time vehicles are subject to recall for failure to meet
emission standards to ten years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. This
Act imposes standards for model years through 2003 that require further
significant reductions in motor vehicle emissions. This Act also may require
production of certain vehicles capable of operating on fuels other than
gasoline or diesel fuel (alternative fuels) under a pilot test program to be
conducted principally in California beginning in the 1996 model year. Chrysler
is actively pursuing the development of flexible fuel vehicles capable of
operating on both gasoline and M-85 methanol blend fuels as well as development
of vehicles capable of operating on compressed natural gas.
The California Air Resources Board has received federal approval,
pursuant to the Clean Air Act, for a series of passenger car and light truck
emission standards, effective through the 2003 model year, that are more
stringent than those prescribed by the Clean Air Act for the corresponding
periods of time. These California standards are intended to promote the
development of various classes of low emission vehicles. California also
requires that a specified percentage of each manufacturer's California sales
volume, beginning at two percent in 1998 and increasing to ten percent in 2003,
must be zero-emission vehicles ("ZEVs") that produce no emissions of regulated
pollutants. A number of states located in the Northeast have indicated that
they will petition the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") to
impose a regional vehicle emissions program similar to the California program.
Chrysler has entered into a consortium of vehicle manufacturers, electric
utilities and the Department of Energy to develop new battery technology for
use in electric vehicles which would qualify as ZEVs and has built a limited
number of experimental prototype electric vehicles using existing advanced
battery technology.

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Automotive Operations - Continued
Government Regulation - Continued
Vehicle Regulation - Continued
CAFE - The Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, as amended by the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, requires vehicle manufacturers to provide
vehicles that comply with federally mandated fuel economy standards. Under
this Act, a manufacturer earns credits for exceeding the applicable fuel
economy standards; however, fuel economy credits earned on cars may not be used
for trucks. Failure to meet the average fleet fuel economy standards can
result in the imposition of penalties unless a manufacturer has sufficient fuel
economy credits from the preceding three years or projects that it will
generate sufficient credits over the succeeding three years. Chrysler is in
substantial compliance with existing CAFE requirements and anticipates
continued compliance with such requirements. In addition, the Energy Tax Act
of 1978 imposes a graduated "Gas Guzzler" tax on automobiles with a fuel
economy rating below specified levels.
There have been recent legislative initiatives in Congress that would
increase corporate average fuel economy standards from their current levels. A
significant increase in those requirements could be costly to Chrysler and
could result in significant restrictions on the products Chrysler offers.
Vehicle Safety - Under the Safety Act, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration ("NHTSA") is required to establish appropriate federal motor
vehicle safety standards that are practicable, meet the need for motor vehicle
safety and are stated in objective terms. NHTSA has announced its intention to
establish additional standards in the near future, which Chrysler supports in
principle. Chrysler expects to be able to comply with those standards.
Vehicle Recalls - The Safety Act and the Clean Air Act require product recalls
under certain circumstances. Recalls vary as to cause; some involve problems
that are relatively serious in nature, while others are much less significant.
In addition, since it is often unknown which vehicles may contain a defect,
large numbers of vehicles must be recalled to find, in many cases, a very low
percentage of vehicles with defects. The number of vehicles recalled and the
cost of such recalls vary widely from year to year. While Chrysler has not had
significant recalls in recent years, it cannot assure that there will not be
such recalls in the future.
Stationary Source Regulation
Chrysler's assembly, manufacturing and other operations are subject to
substantial environmental regulation under the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water
Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Pollution Prevention Act
of 1990 and the Toxic Substances Control Act, as well as a substantial volume
of state legislation paralleling and, in some cases, imposing more stringent
obligations than the federal requirements. These regulations impose severe
restrictions on air and water-born discharges of pollution from Chrysler
facilities, the handling of hazardous materials at Chrysler facilities and the
disposal of wastes from Chrysler operations. Chrysler is faced with many
similar requirements in its operations in Canada and is facing increased
governmental regulation and environmental enforcement in Mexico.
Clean Air Act - Pursuant to the Clean Air Act, the states are required
to amend their implementation plans to require more stringent limitations and
other controls on the quantity of pollutants which may be emitted into the
atmosphere to achieve national ambient air quality standards established by the
EPA. In addition, the Clean Air Act requires reduced emissions of substances
that are classified as hazardous, toxic or that contribute to acid deposition,
imposes comprehensive permit requirements for manufacturing facilities in
addition to those required by various states, and expands federal authority to
impose severe penalties and criminal sanctions. The Clean Air Act also allows
states to adopt standards more stringent than those required by the Clean Air
Act. Most recent reports filed with the EPA pursuant to the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 indicate that for calendar year 1992
releases and emissions of chemicals and toxics by Chrysler were reduced by more
than 70 percent from comparable 1987 levels.
Chrysler is unable to predict the exact level of expenditures that will
be required by the Clean Air Act but believes that the cost of complying with
the legislation will be substantial. While Chrysler is unable to predict the
exact level of expenditures that will be required to develop and implement new
technology in its North American facilities, since federal and state
requirements are not fully defined, it expects that in excess of $1.0 billion
will be spent during the period 1994 through 1998, including the impact of
annual emissions fees. Of this total, Chrysler estimates that $190 million
will be spent in 1994 and $200 million will be spent in 1995. In addition, the
extensive federal-state permit program established by the Clean Air Act may
reduce operational flexibility and cause delays in upgrading of Chrysler's
production facilities in the United States.

Environmental Liabilities - The EPA and various state agencies have
notified Chrysler that it may be a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for
the cost of cleaning up hazardous waste storage or disposal facilities
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other federal and state environmental laws.
Chrysler is also a party to a number of lawsuits in various jurisdictions which
allege conduct by Chrysler in violation of CERCLA or other environmental laws
which seek to recover costs associated with remedial action. In virtually all
instances, Chrysler is only one of a number of PRPs who may be found to be
jointly and severally liable for remediation costs at the 116 sites involved in
the foregoing matters at December 31, 1993. Chrysler may also incur
remediation costs at an additional 45 of its active or deactivated facilities.
In particular, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency notified Chrysler
on October 12, 1993 of its intention to institute a proceeding concerning a
Chrysler facility in Dayton, and the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management initiated an administrative proceeding in August 1985 concerning a
Chrysler facility in Indianapolis. Each proceeding alleges improper disposal
of waste, and each may result in the imposition of civil penalties in excess of
$100,000. The Indiana proceeding also seeks to require Chrysler to conduct a
site assessment and undertake remedial action.
Estimates of future costs of pending environmental matters are necessarily
imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws
and regulations, the development and application of new technologies, and the
apportionment and collectibility of remediation costs among responsible
parties. Chrysler may ultimately incur significant expenditures over an
extended period of time in connection with the foregoing environmental matters,
and therefore has established reserves totalling $287 million for the estimated
costs associated with all of its environmental remediation efforts. Chrysler
believes that these reserves will be sufficient to resolve these matters.
After giving effect to these reserves, management believes, based on currently
known facts and circumstances and existing laws and regulations, that the
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
Chrysler's consolidated financial position. Future developments could cause
Chrysler to change its estimate of the total costs associated with these
matters, and such changes could be material to Chrysler's consolidated results
of operations for the period in which such developments occur.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Chrysler's principal subsidiary, CFC, is a financial services organization
engaged in wholesale and retail vehicle financing, servicing nonautomotive
leases and loans, property, casualty and other insurance, and automotive
dealership facility development and management. All of CFC's common stock is
owned by Chrysler. CFC, a Michigan corporation, is the continuing corporation
resulting from a merger on June 1, 1967 of a financial services subsidiary of
Chrysler into a newly acquired, previously unaffiliated finance company
incorporated in 1926. CFC's primary objective is to provide financing for
automotive dealers and retail purchasers of Chrysler's products. CFC sells
significant amounts of automotive receivables acquired in transactions subject
to limited recourse provisions. CFC remains as servicer for which it is paid a
servicing fee. At the end of 1993, CFC had nearly 3,100 employees and its
portfolio of receivables managed totaled $28.3 billion.
CFC's financial condition and liquidity improved during 1993 as it
regained full access to the investment grade markets, continued to sell
significant amounts of automotive receivables and repaid all borrowings under
its revolving credit facilities. In addition, CFC realized aggregate cash
proceeds of $2.4 billion from the sales of certain nonautomotive assets during
1993. The sales of nonautomotive assets over the last two years have made CFC
more dependent upon Chrysler. Thus, lower levels of production and sales of
Chrysler products could result in a reduction in the level of finance operations
of CFC.
CFC's portfolio of finance receivables managed includes receivables owned and
receivables serviced for others. Receivables serviced for others primarily
represent sold receivables which CFC services for a fee. At December 31, 1993,
receivables serviced for others accounted for 69 percent of CFC's portfolio of
receivables managed. Total finance receivables managed at the end of each of
the five most recent years were as follows:

Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Financial Services - Continued
Automotive Financing - CFC conducts its automotive finance business
principally through its subsidiaries Chrysler Credit Corporation ("Chrysler
Credit"), Chrysler Credit Canada Ltd., and, in Mexico, Chrysler Comercial S.A.
de C.V. Chrysler Credit is the major source of automobile and light-duty truck
wholesale (also referred to as "floor plan") and retail financing for Chrysler
dealers and their customers throughout North America. At December 31, 1993,
Chrysler Credit was providing financing to approximately 2,600 Chrysler dealers
who exclusively sell Chrysler products. Chrysler Credit also finances
approximately 1,400 dealers who sell non-Chrysler products (either exclusively
or together with Chrysler products). Chrysler Credit also offers its floor plan
dealers working capital loans, real estate and equipment financing, and
financing plans for fleet buyers, including daily rental car companies
independent of, and affiliated with, Chrysler. The automotive financing
operations of Chrysler Credit and such other subsidiaries are conducted through
100 branches in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
During 1993, CFC financed or leased approximately 766,000 vehicles at
retail in the United States, including approximately 516,000 new Chrysler
passenger cars and light-duty trucks, representing 25 percent of Chrysler's
U.S. retail and fleet deliveries. In 1993, the average monthly payment for new
vehicle retail installment sale contracts acquired in the United States was
$341. The average percentage of dealer cost financed was 91 percent and the
average original term was 55 months. CFC also financed at wholesale
approximately 1,510,000 new Chrysler passenger cars and light-duty trucks
representing 75 percent of Chrysler's U.S. factory shipments in 1993. Wholesale
vehicle financing accounted for 74 percent of the total automotive financing
volume of CFC in 1993 and represented 16 percent of automotive finance
receivables outstanding at December 31, 1993.
Nonautomotive Financing - CFC has downsized its nonautomotive operations
through sales and liquidations over the last several years. During 1993, CFC
realized $2.4 billion of aggregate cash proceeds from the sale of substantially
all of the consumer and inventory financing businesses of Chrysler First Inc.
("Chrysler First") and the sale of certain assets of Chrysler Capital
Corporation ("Chrysler Capital").
Chrysler Capital manages nonautomotive leases and loans to clients in
over 30 industries through 16 offices throughout the United States. At
December 31, 1993, Chrysler Capital managed $2.7 billion of nonautomotive
finance receivables compared to $3.2 billion at December 31, 1992. In
addition, CFC managed a portfolio of secured small business loans totalling
$0.6 billion at December 31, 1993.
Insurance - Chrysler Insurance Company and its subsidiaries ("Chrysler
Insurance") provide specialized insurance coverages to automotive dealers and
their customers in the United States and Canada. The property and casualty
segment of Chrysler Insurance's business includes physical damage, garage
liability, workers' compensation and property and contents coverage provided
directly to automotive dealers. During 1993, the inventories of approximately
2,800 automotive dealerships that were financed by Chrysler Credit were insured
by Chrysler Insurance. During 1993, 1,875 Chrysler and non-Chrysler automotive
dealerships were insured by CFC's multi-line property and casualty insurance
program known as the Pentastar Protection program. Chrysler Insurance also
provides collateral protection and single interest insurance to retail
automobile customers and their financing sources.
Real Estate Management - Chrysler Realty Corporation ("Chrysler Realty"), which
is engaged in the ownership, development and management of Chrysler automotive
dealership properties in the United States, typically purchases, leases or
options dealership facilities and then leases or subleases these facilities to
Chrysler dealers. At December 31, 1993, Chrysler Realty controlled 923 sites
(of which 297 were owned by Chrysler Realty).
Funding - CFC's primary objective is to provide financing for
automotive dealers and retail purchasers of Chrysler's products. CFC's
liquidity improved during 1993. Proceeds from nonautomotive asset sales and
CFC's improved access to the capital markets enabled it to issue $2.3 billion
of term debt and increase the level of short-term notes outstanding (primarily
commercial paper) to $2.8 billion and repay all borrowings outstanding under
revolving credit facilities. Receivable sales continued to be a significant
source of funding during 1993, as CFC realized $7.8 billion of net proceeds
from the sale of automotive retail receivables compared to $5.8 billion of net
proceeds from the sale of automotive and nonautomotive receivables in 1992.

CAR RENTAL OPERATIONS
Through its Pentastar Transportation Group, Inc. ("Pentastar")
subsidiary, Chrysler owns Thrifty Rent-A-Car System, Inc. ("Thrifty"), Snappy
Car Rental, Inc. ("Snappy") and Dollar Rent A Car System, Inc. ("Dollar").
Both Thrifty and Dollar are engaged in leasing vehicles to independent
businesses they have licensed to use their trade names, systems and
technologies in the daily rental of cars for business, personal and leisure
use. They also maintain and operate a number of their own locations. Snappy,
through corporate-owned locations, is engaged in renting automobiles on a
short-term basis, primarily to customers whose insurance coverage entitles them
to a replacement vehicle if their own cars are damaged, stolen or require major
repairs. In September 1992, Chrysler announced a realignment of a part of the
Car Rental Operations under Pentastar and the consolidation and phase out of
certain of those operations. As part of that realignment, Chrysler
subsequently transferred to Dollar ownership of General Rent-A-Car, which also
rents cars for business, leisure and personal use, exclusively through
corporate owned locations. The consolidation process will be completed in
1994.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
For the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, Chrysler spent
$1.2 billion, $1.1 billion, and $955 million, respectively, for
company-sponsored research and development activities. These activities relate
to the development of new products and services and the improvement of existing
products and services, as well as compliance with standards that have been and
are being promulgated by the government.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1993, Chrysler and its consolidated subsidiaries had a
total of approximately 128,000 employees worldwide, approximately 91,000 of
which were employed in the United States. In the United States and Canada,
approximately 93 percent of Chrysler's hourly employees and 21 percent of its
salaried employees are represented by unions. Of these represented employees,
98 percent of hourly and 90 percent of salaried employees are represented by
the United Automotive, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America
("UAW") or the National Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement
Workers of Canada ("CAW").
In 1993, Chrysler negotiated three-year national agreements with the
UAW and CAW in the United States and Canada, respectively, without an
interruption of production. The UAW contract patterns the prior 1990 agreement
in that it provides moderate wage and pension benefit improvements, and retains
the job and income security protection program and health care coverage. The
job and income security benefit caps were negotiated at the previous contract
amount of $660 million with new Supplemental Unemployment Benefits Contingency
Accounts of $106 million. The contract also adopted provisions expected to
abate future increases in labor costs including Cost of Living Allowance
diversions, lower wage rates for new hires, and a broadened approach to managed
health care.
14
Item 1. BUSINESS - Continued Part I - Continued
Employees - Continued
Chrysler estimates that, when the UAW contract expires September 14,
1996, its total hourly labor costs, including employee and retiree benefits,
will have increased approximately 14 percent over the estimated $44 per hour in
effect when the prior UAW contract expired September 14, 1993. Chrysler
projects its labor cost at the end of the contract to be competitive compared
to the domestic automobile manufacturers' average.
Chrysler's pension plans, group life, and health care benefits for
active, inactive, and retired employees generally follow the structure of
benefits common to the automotive industry. See Part II, Item 8, Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes 1, 11 and 12 for further information
on postemployment benefits, pension plans, and postretirement benefits.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Chrysler has intellectual property rights which include patents,
proprietary technology, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, and licenses
under such rights of others, relating to its businesses, products, and
manufacturing equipment and processes. Chrysler grants licenses to others
under its intellectual property rights and receives fees and royalties under
some of these licenses. While Chrysler does not consider any particular
intellectual property right to be essential, it does consider the aggregate of
such rights important to the overall conduct of its businesses.
Item 2. PROPERTIES
AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
The statements concerning ownership of Chrysler's properties are made
without regard to taxes or assessment liens, rights of way, contracts,
easements or like encumbrances or questions of survey and are based on the
records of Chrysler. Chrysler knows of no material defects in title to, or
adverse claims against, any of such properties, nor any existing material liens
or encumbrances against Chrysler or its properties, except the mortgage loan on
Chrysler's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (Sterling Heights, Michigan), and a
mortgage granted to a state industrial development authority and various banks
on the vehicle paint facility at its Toledo Assembly Plant (Toledo, Ohio).
Chrysler's credit agreement with its commercial banks enables the banks to
obtain a security interest, to be shared equally and ratably with holders of
other senior indebtedness and guarantees of Chrysler, in Chrysler's principal
domestic plants and related machinery, equipment and tooling under certain
circumstances, including when borrowings under the amended agreement exceed
$500 million, and if Chrysler's senior debt does not have investment grade
credit ratings. None of the commitment was drawn upon at December 31, 1993.
Chrysler's manufacturing plants include a foundry, machining plants,
metal stamping plants, engine plants, transmission plants, trim plants,
electronic parts plants, an air conditioning equipment plant, a glass
fabricating plant and other component parts plants. In addition to Michigan,
other manufacturing plants in the United States are located in Alabama,
Illinois, Indiana, New York, Ohio, Texas and Wisconsin.
Chrysler's U.S. passenger car assembly plants are located in Sterling
Heights and Detroit, Michigan; Belvidere, Illinois and Newark, Delaware. The
U.S. truck assembly plants are located in Warren and Detroit, Michigan; Fenton,
Missouri; and Toledo, Ohio. An assembly facility located in Fenton, Missouri
was idled in 1991. The parts depots, warehouses and sales offices are situated
in various sections of the United States, while Chrysler's principal
engineering and research facilities and its general offices are located in
Michigan.
Automotive properties outside the U.S. are owned or leased principally
by Chrysler Canada and Chrysler Mexico. Other manufacturing and assembly
plants of subsidiaries outside the U.S. are located in Venezuela and Austria.
In 1991, Chrysler dedicated its new technology center in Auburn Hills,
Michigan and began the relocation of employees into the facility. By the end
of 1993, Chrysler had moved 99.6 percent of the employees expected to occupy
the technology center. The initial project is in the final stages of
completion and will be completed in the first half of 1994. The center
includes design, vehicle engineering, manufacturing engineering and pilot build
facilities associated with the development of new Chrysler cars and trucks, and
has total floor space of 3.3 million square feet. In the third quarter of
1992, the Board of Directors approved a subsequent project to build an
administrative building which is currently under construction.
In the opinion of management, Chrysler's properties include facilities
which are suitable and adequate for the conduct of its present assembly and
component plant requirements.

Item 2. PROPERTIES - Continued Part I - Continued
FINANCIAL SERVICES
At December 31, 1993, the following facilities were utilized by
CFC in conducting its business:
(a) executive offices of CFC, Chrysler Credit, Chrysler
Insurance and certain other domestic subsidiaries of CFC
in Southfield, Michigan;
(b) a total of 86 branches of Chrysler Credit located
throughout the United States;
(c) headquarters of remaining Chrysler First operations in Allentown,
Pennsylvania, and a total of 3 offices of such corporation in the
United States;
(d) headquarters of Chrysler Capital in Stamford, Connecticut and a
total of 16 offices of such corporation located throughout the
United States;
(e) headquarters of Chrysler Realty in Troy, Michigan; and
(f) a total of 15 offices used as headquarters and branch offices in
Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
All of the facilities described above were leased by CFC.
At December 31, 1993, a total of 297 automobile dealership properties
generally consisting of land and improvements were owned by Chrysler Realty
for lease to dealers franchised by Chrysler.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Chrysler and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings,
including some purporting to be class actions, and some which demand large
monetary damages or other relief that would require significant expenditures.
Chrysler believes that each of the product and environmental proceedings
described below constitutes ordinary routine litigation incidental to the
business conducted by Chrysler and its subsidiaries. See also Note 8 of Notes
To Consolidated Financial Statements.
Product Matters
Many of the legal proceedings seek damages for personal injuries claimed to
have resulted from alleged defects in the design or manufacture of products
distributed by Chrysler. The complaints filed in such matters specify
approximately $930 million in compensatory and $965 million in punitive damages
in the aggregate as of December 31, 1993. These amounts represent damages
sought by plaintiffs and, therefore, do not necessarily constitute an accurate
measure of Chrysler's ultimate cost to resolve such matters. Further, many
complaints do not specify a dollar amount of damages or specify only the
jurisdictional minimum. These amounts may vary significantly from one period
to the next depending on the number of new complaints filed or pending cases
resolved in a given period.
Numerous complaints seek damages for personal injuries sustained in
accidents involving alleged rollovers of Jeep CJ vehicles. These complaints
represent approximately $335 million of the compensatory and $763 million of
the punitive damages specified above. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement
with Chrysler, Renault has agreed to indemnify Chrysler against a portion of
certain costs arising from accidents involving alleged Jeep CJ vehicle rollovers
occurring between April 1, 1985 and March 31, 1994.
Many of the remaining complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for
personal injuries sustained in accidents involving alleged defects in occupant
restraint systems, seats, heater cores, or various other components in several
different vehicle models. Some complaints seek repair of the vehicles or
compensation for the alleged reduction in vehicle value.
Chrysler may ultimately incur significant expenditures over an extended
period of time in connection with the foregoing matters, and therefore has
established reserves which it believes will be sufficient to resolve such
matters. After giving effect to these reserves, management believes, based on
currently known facts and circumstances, that the disposition of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on Chrysler's consolidated financial
condition. Future developments could cause Chrysler to change its estimate of
the ultimate cost of resolving these matters, and such changes could be
material to Chrysler's consolidated results of operations for the period in
which such developments occur.
16
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -Continued Part I - Continued
Environmental Matters
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and various state
agencies have notified Chrysler that it may be a potentially responsible party
("PRP") for the cost of cleaning up hazardous waste storage or disposal
facilities pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other federal and state environmental laws.
Chrysler is also a party to a number of lawsuits in various jurisdictions which
allege conduct by Chrysler in violation of CERCLA or other environmental laws
which seek to recover costs associated with remedial action. In virtually all
instances, Chrysler is only one of a number of PRPs who may be found to be
jointly and severally liable for remediation costs at the 116 sites involved in
the foregoing matters at December 31, 1993. Chrysler may also incur
remediation costs at an additional 45 of its active or deactivated facilities.
In particular, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency notified Chrysler
on October 12, 1993 of its intention to institute a proceeding concerning a
Chrysler facility in Dayton, and the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management initiated an administrative proceeding in August 1985 concerning a
Chrysler facility in Indianapolis. Each proceeding alleges improper disposal
of waste, and each may result in the imposition of civil penalties in excess of
$100,000. The Indiana proceeding also seeks to require Chrysler to conduct a
site assessment and undertake remedial action.
Estimates of future costs of pending environmental matters are necessarily
imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the enactment of new laws
and regulations, the development and application of new technologies, and the
apportionment and collectibility of remediation costs among responsible
parties. Chrysler may ultimately incur significant expenditures over an
extended period of time in connection with the foregoing environmental matters,
and therefore has established reserves totalling $287 million for the estimated
costs associated with all of its environmental remediation efforts. Chrysler
believes that these reserves will be sufficient to resolve these matters.
After giving effect to these reserves, management believes, based on currently
known facts and circumstances and existing laws and regulations, that the
disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on
Chrysler's consolidated financial position. Future developments could cause
Chrysler to change its estimate of the total costs associated with these
matters, and such changes could be material to Chrysler's consolidated results
of operations for the period in which such developments occur.
Other Matters
In December 1990 and January 1991, eight class action lawsuits were
commenced by separate plaintiffs against Chrysler and certain of its directors
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for New Castle County,
Delaware. The Complaints in these suits are very similar and allege that the
directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by amending
Chrysler's Share Purchase Rights Plan in a manner designed to entrench
themselves in office and to impair the right of stockholders to avail
themselves of offers to purchase their shares by an acquiror not favored by
management. The Complaints ask for (a) certification of the class, (b)
rescission of and an injunction against implementation of the Rights Plan
amendments, (c) an order that Chrysler cooperate with Kirk Kerkorian, the
holder of 9.8% of Chrysler's common stock at the time the complaints were
filed, and take steps to enhance its attractiveness as a merger/acquisition
candidate, and (d) damages and costs. On January 9, 1991, the eight suits were
consolidated into one. On January 28, 1991, Chrysler filed an Answer and
Affirmative Defenses in the consolidated case. On March 7, 1991, the parties
agreed to allow an Amended Complaint to be filed which purports to assert a
derivative claim brought on behalf of Chrysler, in addition to class action
claims as originally filed. In this regard, the Amended Complaint alleges
injury to Chrysler as a direct result of violations of fiduciary duties by the
individual defendants. On July 25, 1991, Chrysler filed a motion to dismiss
the consolidated lawsuit. On July 27, 1992, the Court entered a memorandum
opinion dismissing the complaint as to all claims for relief other than
rescission. Chrysler later filed a Motion for Reargument which was denied on
August 11, 1992. The Corporation and the named directors are continuing with
the defense of this matter.

had been $0.15 per common share since the first quarter of 1991. Dividends on
the common stock are payable at the discretion of the Chrysler's Board of
Directors out of funds legally available therefor. Chrysler's ability to pay
dividends in the future will depend upon its financial results, liquidity and
financial condition and its ability to meet its new product development and
facility modernization spending programs. Chrysler's ability to pay dividends
is also affected by the provision in its credit agreement that it must maintain
net worth (as defined) at the end of each quarter at certain specified levels.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL Part II - Continued
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Chrysler reported earnings before income taxes and the
cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles of $3.8 billion in 1993,
compared with $934 million in 1992. The earnings in 1993 included a gain on
sales of automotive assets and investments of $265 million. Earnings in 1992
included a gain on the sale of an automotive investment of $142 million, a
$110 million charge for reducing investments of Chrysler Canada, and certain
of its employee benefit plans in a real estate investment concern to their
estimated net realizable value, and a $101 million restructuring charge
related to the realignment of the Car Rental Operations. Excluding the
effect of these items, Chrysler's pre-tax earnings for 1993 and 1992 were
$3.6 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
The improvement in 1993 over 1992 was primarily the result of
a substantial increase in unit sales volume, pricing actions, including
significantly lower per unit sales incentives, and an improved mix of
higher-margin products, partially offset by increased labor and benefit costs.
Chrysler's worldwide factory car and truck sales increased 14 percent during
1993 to 2,475,738 units. U.S. and Canadian dealers' days supply of vehicle
inventory decreased to 63 days at December 31, 1993 from 72 days at December
31, 1992.
Including the provision for income taxes and the cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles, Chrysler reported a net loss for
1993 of $2.6 billion, or $7.62 per common share, compared with net earnings of
$723 million, or $2.21 per common share, for 1992. The net loss for 1993
resulted from a charge of $4.68 billion, or $13.57 per common share, for the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to the adoption
of SFAS No. 106, "Employers'Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions." Also included in the 1993 results was a charge of $283 million, or
$0.82 per common share, for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle relating to the adoption of SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." Net earnings for 1992 included a $218 million, or
$0.74 per common share, favorable cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle relating to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."
During 1993, North American vehicle industry retail sales were
15.4 million cars and trucks, an increase of 7.7 percent from the 14.3 million
units sold in 1992. In addition to the improvements in the overall automotive
industry, Chrysler's U.S. and Canada combined retail car and truck market share
increased 1.4 percentage points in 1993, as shown below:
[Download Table]
Market Share
1993 1992 Increase
---------- ---------- ----------------
U.S. Retail Market Share (1):
Car 9.8 % 8.3 % 1.5 %
Truck 21.4 % 21.1 % 0.3 %
Combined U.S. Car and Truck 14.4 % 13.1 % 1.3 %
U.S. and Canada Combined Retail Car
and Truck Market Share (1) 14.8 % 13.4 % 1.4 %
________________________________
(1) All market share data include fleet sales.
The increase in U.S. retail car market share during 1993
resulted from the fall 1992 introduction and subsequent market success of
Chrysler's upper-middle segment sedans, the Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision and
Chrysler Concorde. The increase in U.S. truck market share in 1993 is the
result of increased sales in the small sport-utility vehicle segment, primarily
the result of the spring 1992 introduction and subsequent market success of the
Jeep Grand Cherokee, partially offset by reduced sales in the small pickup
segment, as a portion of the Dodge Dakota production was relocated among
Chrysler's assembly facilities.
In addition to these 1992 new product introductions, Chrysler
launched the Chrysler New Yorker and Chrysler LHS, which compete in the large
car segment, in the first quarter of 1993. During the fourth quarter of 1993,
Chrysler introduced its all new full-size Dodge Ram pickup truck. New product
introductions which will occur in 1994 include a new subcompact, the Dodge and
Plymouth Neon, in January 1994 and an all new compact car platform in the third
quarter of 1994, which will be marketed as the Chrysler Cirrus and Dodge
Stratus.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL Part II - Continued
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - Continued
The earnings of CFC before income taxes and the cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles were $267 million in 1993, compared
to $295 million in 1992. The decline in 1993 was primarily due to increased
borrowing costs incurred under CFC's revolving credit agreements. CFC reported
net earnings of $129 million and $231 million for 1993 and 1992, respectively.
CFC's net earnings for 1993 included charges totaling $30 million for the
adoptions of SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 112. Net earnings for 1992 included a
$51 million favorable adjustment for the adoption of SFAS No. 109.
During 1992 and 1993, Chrysler took various actions to
strengthen its financial condition, improve liquidity and add to its
equity base in order to ensure its ability to carry out its new product
development and facility modernization programs without significant
interruption. In the second and third quarters of 1993, Chrysler sold its
remaining 50.3 million shares of MMC stock for net proceeds of $329 million and
sold the plastics operations of its Acustar division for net proceeds of $132
million. In February 1993, Chrysler issued 52 million shares of common stock
for net proceeds of $1.95 billion. In 1992, Chrysler sold 43.6 million shares
of MMC stock for net proceeds of $215 million and issued 1.7 million shares of
convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $836 million.
Both Chrysler and CFC regained investment grade credit ratings
in 1993. The improved credit ratings reflect Chrysler's improved operating
results, the significant improvements in Chrysler's balance sheet (including
reductions in its outstanding debt and unfunded pension obligation), and CFC's
improved liquidity.
Chrysler's operating results have improved during 1992 and
1993, despite the slower than normal economic and automobile industry
recoveries in the U.S. and declining automobile industry sales in Canada,
Mexico and most European countries. The consensus of major economic
forecasters suggests that automobile industry sales will continue to increase
in the U.S. in 1994, and will begin to recover in Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Chrysler's new products may enable it to benefit from these market
improvements. However, due to Chrysler's dependence on the North American
market, a deterioration in North American economic conditions would adversely
affect Chrysler's operating results.
COMPARISON OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF REVENUE AND COSTS
Chrysler's total sales and revenues were as follows:

----------- ----------- -----------
Total sales and revenues $ 43,600 $ 36,897 18 % $ 29,370 26 %
========== ========== ==========
The increase in sales of manufactured products in 1993
primarily reflects the 14 percent increase in factory unit sales to 2,475,738
units in 1993. The 1992 increase is largely due to a 17 percent increase in
factory unit sales from the 1,866,101 units in 1991. Average revenue per unit,
net of sales incentives, was $16,461, $15,086 and $14,109 in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. The increases in average revenue per unit in 1993 and 1992
were principally due to an improved mix of higher-priced products (primarily
small sport-utility vehicles and upper-middle segment cars in 1993 and small
sport-utility vehicles and minivans in 1992), lower per unit sales incentives
and pricing actions.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL Part II - Continued
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
COMPARISON OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF REVENUE AND COSTS - Continued
The decreases in finance and insurance income in 1993 and 1992
were primarily attributable to lower levels of earning assets and declining
interest rates. Total automotive financing volume in 1993, 1992 and
1991 was $59.8 billion, $46.6 billion and $41.5 billion, respectively. The
increase in automotive financing volume over the last two years was largely due
to higher amounts of wholesale financing provided to automotive dealers.
Financing support provided in the United States by CFC for new Chrysler vehicle
retail deliveries (including fleet) and wholesale vehicle sales to dealers and
the number of vehicles financed during the last three years were as follows:

Wholesale 1,510 1,199 982
Other income, which was relatively consistent between 1993 and
1992, primarily represents revenues generated by the Car Rental Operations.
The increase in 1992 over 1991 was due to the acquisition of General Rent-A-Car
in March 1991.

=========== =========== ===========
Costs, other than items below increased in 1993 primarily due
to the 14 percent increase in factory unit sales volume and an increased
proportion of sales of higher-priced products, primarily small sport-utility
vehicles and upper-middle segment sedans. The increase in costs, other than
items below in 1992 compared to 1991 was due to the 17 percent increase in
factory unit sales volume and new-product-related pre-production and launch
costs in 1992. Included in costs, other than items below in 1992 is a $110
million investment loss for reducing investments of Chrysler Canada and certain
of its employee benefit plans in a real estate concern to their estimated net
realizable value. Included in costs, other than items below in 1991 was a $391
million credit provision which resulted from a reduction in planned capacity
adjustments related to facilities acquired in connection with Chrysler's
acquisition of AMC in 1987. Excluding the 1992 investment loss and the 1991
plant capacity credit provision, costs, other than items below as a percent of
net sales of manufactured products were 79 percent, 84 percent, and 91 percent
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. These improvements were primarily due to
increased capacity utilization and an increased mix of higher-margin products.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL Part II - Continued
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
COMPARISON OF SELECTED ELEMENTS OF REVENUE AND COSTS - Continued
Depreciation of property and equipment for 1993 remained
consistent with 1992, as increases resulting from Chrysler's capital spending
program were offset by reductions at CFC resulting from the sales and
downsizing of its nonautomotive financing operations. The increase in
depreciation of property and equipment in 1992 compared to 1991 was principally
the result of Chrysler's capital spending program, coupled with higher
obsolescence costs at renovated facilities. Amortization of special tooling
has remained relatively constant over the three years, as tooling amortization
associated with new vehicles has approximated prior year write-offs of tooling
related to discontinued models.
Selling and administrative expenses in 1993 remained
consistent with 1992, as increased employee costs were offset by reduced costs
at CFC due to the downsizing of its nonautomotive financing operations. The
increase in selling and administrative expenses in 1992 over 1991 was primarily
due to increased employee costs and increased advertising expenses related to
Chrysler's new products.
Pension expense decreased in 1993 as compared to 1992 due to
improved funding of the plans. Nonpension postretirement benefit expense
increased significantly in 1993 due to the adoption of SFAS No. 106, which
requires that the costs of health and life insurance benefits for retirees be
accrued as expense in the period in which employees provide services.
The decline in interest expense over the three years was
primarily due to CFC's lower average borrowings. The reduced average borrowings
in 1993 as compared to 1992 resulted from CFC's sales and downsizing of its
nonautomotive financing operations, the proceeds from which were used to reduce
outstanding indebtedness. The reduction in average borrowings in 1992 from
1991 was principally due to CFC's increased reliance on receivable sales as a
funding source. CFC's average effective cost of borrowings was 8.6 percent,
7.8 percent and 8.7 percent in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Despite
improved credit ratings and lower market interest rates, CFC's average
effective cost of borrowings increased in 1993, primarily as a result of the
amortization of up-front fees and costs associated with CFC's U.S. and Canadian
revolving credit agreements commencing in August 1992 and January 1993,
respectively. The decrease in the 1992 average effective cost of borrowings
from 1991 was the result of lower market interest rates.
The results of operations for 1992 included a restructuring
charge of $101 million relating to the realignment of the Car Rental Operations
under Pentastar Transportation Group and the consolidation and phase-out of
certain of these operations. This restructuring charge included the write-down
of goodwill, lease termination costs, losses associated with the disposal of
tangible assets, and other related charges.
Operating results for 1993, 1992 and 1991 included gains on
sales of automotive assets and investments of $265 million, $142 million and
$205 million, respectively. The 1993 gain was comprised of the $205 million
pre-tax gain on the sales of an aggregate of 50.3 million shares of MMC stock
and a $60 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the plastics operations of
Chrysler's Acustar division. The 1992 gain represented the pre-tax gain on the
sale of 43.6 million shares of MMC stock. The 1991 gain resulted from
Chrysler's sale of its 50 percent equity interest in Diamond-Star to MMC, its
partner in the joint venture.
Chrysler's effective tax rate was 37.1 percent in 1993,
compared with 45.9 percent in 1992 and 33.5 percent in 1991. The decrease in
the effective tax rate in 1993 was largely due to the favorable adjustment of
Chrysler's deferred tax assets and liabilities to the new 35 percent U.S.
income tax rate, partially offset by the increase in the 1993 income tax
provision to reflect this one percent increase in the U.S. income tax rate.
Nondeductible expenses, primarily goodwill amortization were higher in 1992 as
compared to 1993 and 1991.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Chrysler's combined cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaled $5.1 billion at December 31, 1993 (including $613 million
held by CFC), an increase of $1.4 billion from December 31, 1992. The increase
in 1993 was the result of cash generated by operating activities, the issuance
of 52 million shares of new common stock and the sale of assets and
investments, partially offset by debt repayments, pension contributions and
capital expenditures. During 1992, Chrysler increased its consolidated cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities by $614 million, as cash generated
by operating activities, the issuance of 1.7 million shares of convertible
preferred stock and the sale of automotive assets exceeded capital expenditures
and debt repayments. Chrysler believes that cash from operations and its cash
position will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued
Both Chrysler and CFC regained investment grade credit ratings
in 1993. The improved credit ratings reflect Chrysler's improved operating
results, the significant improvements in Chrysler's balance sheet (including
reductions in its outstanding debt and unfunded pension obligation), and CFC's
improved liquidity.
Chrysler's long-term profitability will depend on its ability
to introduce and market its products successfully. Chrysler expects to spend
approximately $20 billion over the next five years for new product development
and the acquisition of productive assets. At December 31, 1993, Chrysler had
commitments for capital expenditures, including commitments for assets
currently under construction, totaling $1.1 billion.
Chrysler's projected pension benefit obligation in excess of
pension plan assets was $2.2 billion at December 31, 1993, as compared to $3.9
billion at December 31, 1992. This reduction in the unfunded pension
obligation during 1993 resulted from Chrysler's contributions of $3.5 billion
to the pension fund, which exceeded the significant increases in the projected
pension benefit obligation caused by a reduction in the discount rate used to
measure such obligations and pension benefit increases which were included in
Chrysler's new national labor agreements with its principal collective
bargaining units. Chrysler's objective is to fully fund its remaining unfunded
pension obligation by the end of 1995.
At December 31, 1993, Chrysler (excluding CFC) had debt
maturities of $500 million in 1994, $412 million in 1995 and $42 million in
1996. Chrysler (excluding CFC) redeemed early $769 million of its outstanding
debt during the fourth quarter of 1993.
On June 30, 1993, Chrysler entered into an agreement with its
bank lenders which extended the maturity of its $1.5 billion bank
facility to June 30, 1996. At Chrysler's option, up to 50 percent of the total
commitment under the amended agreement may be used by CFC. The agreement
enables the banks to obtain a security interest, to be shared equally and
ratably with holders of other senior indebtedness and guarantees of Chrysler,
in Chrysler's principal domestic plants and related machinery, equipment and
tooling, Chrysler's equity interest in CFC and certain other assets under
certain circumstances, including when borrowings under the agreement exceed
$500 million, and if Chrysler's senior debt does not have investment grade
credit ratings. Under the agreement, Chrysler is subject to, and has complied
with, financial covenants relating to minimum net worth and the ratio of
liabilities and guarantees to net worth. None of the commitment was drawn upon
during 1993.
Chrysler's ability to market its products successfully depends
significantly on the availability of inventory financing for its dealers and,
to a lesser extent, the availability of financing for retail and fleet
customers, both of which CFC provides. CFC's liquidity improved during 1993
following the sales and downsizing of its nonautomotive financing operations
and the achievement of investment grade credit ratings. CFC's improved access
to the credit markets enabled it to issue $2.3 billion of term debt and
increase the level of its short-term notes (primarily commercial paper)
outstanding to $2.8 billion.
Receivable sales continued to be a significant source of
funding, as CFC realized $7.8 billion of net proceeds from the sale of
automotive retail receivables during 1993, as compared to $5.8 billion of net
proceeds from the sale of automotive and nonautomotive retail receivables
during 1992. In addition, CFC's revolving wholesale receivable sale
arrangements provided funding which aggregated $4.6 billion and $4.3 billion at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
During 1993, $2.4 billion in aggregate cash proceeds were
received from the sale of substantially all of the net assets of the consumer
and inventory financing businesses of Chrysler First and the sale of
certain assets of Chrysler Capital. Proceeds from these sales were
used to reduce outstanding indebtedness.
At December 31, 1993, CFC had U.S. and Canadian credit
facilities aggregating $5.2 billion, consisting of contractually committed U.S.
credit lines of $4.7 billion expiring in August 1995 and $489 million of
Canadian credit lines expiring in December 1995. CFC also has receivable sale
agreements totaling $2.9 billion, consisting of a $2.5 billion U.S. automotive
receivable sale agreement (which will be reduced to $1.25 billion in September
1994) which expires in September 1996, and a $414 million Canadian receivable
sale agreement which expires in December 1995. At December 31, 1993, none of
CFC's U.S. and Canadian credit facilities or receivable sale agreements were
utilized.
At December 31, 1993, CFC had debt maturities of $4.1 billion
in 1994 (including $2.8 billion of short-term notes), $626 million in 1995, and
$1.0 billion in 1996. CFC believes that cash provided by operations,
receivable sales, issuance of term debt, and issuance of commercial paper
backed by unused revolving credit facilities will provide sufficient liquidity.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,"
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. This new
accounting standard requires creditors to evaluate the collectibility of both
contractual interest and principal of receivables when evaluating the need for
a loss accrual. Chrysler has not determined the impact that the adoption of
this accounting standard will have on its consolidated operating results or
financial position. Chrysler plans to adopt this standard on or before January
1, 1995, as required.
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993. This accounting standard specifies the
accounting and reporting requirements for changes in the fair values of
investments in certain debt and equity securities. Based upon its initial
assessment, Chrysler believes that the implementation of this new accounting
standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated operating results
and financial position. Chrysler plans to adopt this standard effective
January 1, 1994, as required.

CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Chrysler Corporation and its
consolidated subsidiaries ("Chrysler") include the accounts of all significant
majority-owned subsidiaries and entities. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Vehicle and parts sales are generally recorded when such products are
shipped to dealers. Provisions for normal dealer sales allowances are made at
the time of sale and treated as sales reductions. Prior to 1991, the cost of
special sales incentive programs was recognized when a retail sale was made.
Due to the increased frequency and significance of special sales incentive
programs, Chrysler changed its method of accounting, effective January 1, 1991,
to recognize the cost of such programs as sales reductions at the time a
vehicle is sold to a dealer. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle resulted in an after-tax charge of $257 million, or $1.06
per common share.
Interest income from owned finance receivables is recognized using the
interest method. Lending fees and certain direct loan origination costs are
deferred and amortized to interest income using the interest method over the
contractual terms of the finance receivables. Recognition of interest income
is generally suspended when a loan becomes contractually delinquent for periods
ranging from 60 to 90 days. Income recognition is resumed when the loan
becomes contractually current, at which time all past due interest income is
recognized.
Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Chrysler, sells significant amounts of automotive receivables subject to
limited recourse provisions. CFC generally sells its receivables to a trust,
and remains as servicer, for which it is paid a servicing fee. In a
subordinated capacity, CFC retains excess servicing cash flows, a limited
interest in the principal balances of the sold receivables and certain cash
deposits provided as credit enhancements for investors.
Gains or losses from the sale of retail receivables are recognized in the
period that such sale occurs. In determining the gain or loss for each
qualifying sale, the investment in the sold receivable pool is allocated
between the portion sold and the portion retained based on their relative fair
values on the date of sale. Gains on sales of wholesale receivables are not
material. The portion of the receivables sold is removed from the balance
sheet.
Depreciation and Tool Amortization
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is generally provided on a straight-line basis. At December 31,
1993, the weighted-average service lives of assets were 32 years for buildings
(including improvements and building equipment), 11 years for machinery and
equipment and 12 years for furniture and fixtures. Special tooling costs are
amortized over the years that a model using that tooling is expected to be
produced, and within each year based on the units produced. Amortization is
deducted directly from the asset account. During any given model year, special
tools will contain tooling with varying useful lives.
Product-Related Costs
Expenditures for advertising, sales promotion and other product-related
costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated costs of product warranty are
accrued at the time of sale. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred and were $1.2 billion, $1.1 billion, and $955 million in 1993, 1992,
and 1991, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY Part II - Continued
DATA - Continued
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Marketable Securities
Marketable equity securities are carried at cost, which approximates
market. Debt securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortized premium or
discount and accrued interest.
Allowance for Credit Losses
An allowance for credit losses is generally established during the period
in which finance receivables are acquired. The allowance for credit losses is
maintained at a level deemed appropriate based on loss experience and other
factors. Retail automotive receivables not supported by a dealer guaranty are
charged to the allowance for credit losses net of the estimated value of
repossessed collateral at the time of repossession. Nonautomotive finance
receivables are reduced to the estimated fair value of the collateral when
determined to be uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of
approximately 42 percent and 44 percent of inventories at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively, was determined on a Last-In, First-Out ("LIFO") basis. The
balance of inventory cost was determined on a First-In, First-Out ("FIFO")
basis.
Intangible Assets
The purchase price of companies in excess of the value of net tangible
assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of up to 40
years. The amount is reported net of accumulated amortization of $643 million
and $558 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. As a result of
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," previously unrecognized net operating loss
("NOL") and tax credit carryforwards totaling $188 million, which were
purchased as part of acquisitions, have been recorded as a reduction to
goodwill. As part of Chrysler's purchase in 1987 of the interest of Regie
Nationale des Usines Renault ("Renault") in American Motors Corporation
("AMC"), Chrysler made a $211 million payment in 1992 to Renault, which was
recorded as an adjustment to intangible assets, based on the volume of sales of
certain Jeep vehicles manufactured from 1987 through 1991. Intangible assets
also included an intangible pension asset of $2.1 billion and $2.3 billion at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Postemployment Benefits
Effective January 1, 1993, Chrysler adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." This new accounting standard requires
the accrual of benefits provided to former or inactive employees after
employment but prior to retirement. Prior to 1993, Chrysler accrued for
certain of these benefits at the time an employee's active service ended and
expensed certain other benefits on the basis of cash expenditures. Adoption of
this accounting standard resulted in the recognition of an after-tax charge of
$283 million, or $0.82 per common share, for the cumulative effect of this
change in accounting principle. Adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in a nominal
increase in the annual expense recognized for these benefits and no cash
impact.
Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
Chrysler enters into various interest rate and foreign currency exchange
agreements to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates. Net interest differentials to be paid or received
relating to interest rate exchange agreements are accrued and included as
interest expense. Debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies and
subject to foreign currency swap agreements are included in the consolidated
balance sheet at the contractual rate of exchange in the respective foreign
currency swap agreement. Gains and losses on forward contracts and purchased
options, designated as hedges of known or anticipated contractual obligations
and export sales revenues, are deferred and included in the settlement of the
related transaction.

Nonearning finance receivables, including receivables sold subject to
limited recourse, totaled $333 million and $735 million at December 31, 1993
and 1992, respectively, which represented 1.21 percent and 2.49 percent of such
receivables outstanding, respectively.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. This new accounting standard
requires creditors to evaluate the collectibility of both contractual interest
and principal of receivables when evaluating the need for a loss accrual.
Chrysler has not determined the impact that the adoption of this accounting
standard will have on its consolidated operating results or financial position.
Chrysler plans to adopt this standard on or before January 1, 1995, as
required.

The weighted average interest rates include the effects of interest rate
exchange agreements and have been calculated on the basis of rates in effect at
December 31, 1993.
Interest rate exchange agreements have been entered into with major
financial institutions, which are expected to fully perform under the terms of
the agreements. These agreements are generally used as hedges and are matched
with specific financial instruments. At December 31, 1993, the notional amount
of Chrysler's portfolio of interest rate exchange agreements totaled $1.8
billion. While the notional amount is used to measure the volume of these
agreements, it does not represent exposure to credit loss.
CFC has entered into foreign currency swap arrangements which provide for
payment of foreign currency principal and interest obligations in U.S. or
Canadian dollars based on the contractual exchange rate in the respective
agreement. As a result, the underlying debt obligations are recorded at the
contractual rate totaling $535 million at December 31, 1993. If the debt
obligations had been translated at the various exchange rates in effect at
December 31, 1993, the recorded amount would have been $121 million higher.
On June 30, 1993, Chrysler entered into an agreement with its bank
lenders which extended the maturity of its $1.5 billion bank facility to June
30, 1996. At Chrysler's option, up to 50 percent of the total commitment under
the amended agreement may be used by CFC. The agreement enables the banks to
obtain a security interest, to be shared equally and ratably with holders of
other senior indebtedness and guarantees of Chrysler, in Chrysler's principal
domestic plants and related machinery, equipment and tooling, Chrysler's equity
interest in CFC and certain other assets under certain circumstances, including
when borrowings under the agreement exceed $500 million, and if Chrysler's
senior debt does not have investment grade credit ratings. Under the
agreement, Chrysler is subject to, and has complied with, financial covenants
relating to minimum net worth and the ratio of liabilities and guarantees to
net worth. None of the commitment was drawn upon at December 31, 1993.

At December 31, 1993, CFC had contractually committed credit lines of $5.2
billion and receivable sale agreements of $2.9 billion. At December 31, 1993,
CFC had no borrowings outstanding under any of its credit lines or receivable
sale arrangements.
At December 31, 1993, aggregate annual maturities of consolidated debt,
including principal payments on capital leases, were as follows (in millions of
dollars): 1994 - $4,580; 1995 - $1,038; 1996 - $1,103; 1997 - $516; 1998 -
$737.
Note 7. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1992, Chrysler adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," which requires the liability method of accounting for deferred
income taxes and the recognition of net deferred tax assets subject to an
ongoing assessment of realizability. The principal difference between the
liability method and the method previously used is that under the liability
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in
statutory tax rates, as income adjustments, in the period changes are enacted.
At January 1, 1992, the adjustment of deferred tax assets and liabilities
resulted in a favorable cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle
of $218 million, or $0.74 per common share. Also during 1992, adjustments to
deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in retained earnings resulted in
an increase of $37 million in shareholders' equity.
Earnings (loss) before income taxes and cumulative effect of changes in
accounting principles was attributable to the following sources:

Chrysler does not provide U.S. income tax or foreign withholding taxes on
the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as such earnings of $1.6
billion are intended to be permanently reinvested in those operations. It is

for the undistributed foreign earnings.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Litigation
Various claims and legal proceedings have been asserted or instituted
against Chrysler, including some purporting to be class actions, and some which
demand large monetary damages or other relief which would require significant
expenditures. Although the ultimate cost of resolving these matters cannot be
precisely determined at December 31, 1993, Chrysler has established reserves
which it believes will be sufficient to resolve these matters. After giving
effect to these reserves, management believes, based on currently known facts
and circumstances, that the disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on Chrysler's consolidated financial position. Future
developments could cause Chrysler to change its estimate of the ultimate cost
of resolving these matters, and such changes could be material to Chrysler's
consolidated results of operations for the period in which such developments
occur.
Environmental Matters
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and various state
agencies have notified Chrysler that it may be a potentially responsible party
("PRP") for the cost of cleaning up hazardous waste storage or disposal
facilities pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and other federal and state environmental laws.
Chrysler is also a party to a number of lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions
alleging CERCLA or other environmental claims. In virtually all cases,
Chrysler is only one of a number of PRPs who may be found to be jointly and
severally liable. In addition, Chrysler has identified additional active or
deactivated facilities at which it may be responsible for closure activities or
cleaning up hazardous waste. Estimates of future costs of such environmental
matters are necessarily imprecise due to numerous uncertainties, including the
enactment of new laws and regulations, the development and application of new
technologies, the identification of new sites for which Chrysler may have
remediation responsibility and the apportionment and collectibility of
remediation costs among responsible parties. Chrysler may ultimately incur
significant expenditures over an extended period of time in connection with the
foregoing environmental matters, and therefore has established reserves for the
estimated costs associated with all of its environmental remediation efforts,
including CERCLA and related matters, expected closure activities and voluntary
environmental cleanup efforts. Chrysler believes that these reserves will be
sufficient to resolve these matters. After giving effect to these reserves,
management believes, based on currently known facts and circumstances and
existing laws and regulations, that the disposition of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on Chrysler's consolidated financial position.
Future developments could cause Chrysler to change its estimate of the total
costs associated with these matters, and such changes could be material to
Chrysler's consolidated results of operations for the period in which such
developments occur.
Other Matters
The majority of Chrysler's lease payments are for operating leases. At
December 31, 1993, Chrysler had the following minimum rental commitments under
noncancelable operating leases (in millions of dollars):

1994 $ 268

1996 142
1997 96

1999 and thereafter 160
----------
Total $ 918
==========
Future minimum lease commitments have not been reduced by minimum sublease
rentals of $325 million due in the future under noncancelable subleases.
Rental expense for operating leases, with original expiration dates beyond
one year, was $410 million, $383 million and $343 million in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. Sublease rentals of $61 million, $60 million, and $61
million were received in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.

Chrysler had commitments for capital expenditures, including commitments
for facilities currently under construction, totaling $1.1 billion at December
31, 1993.
At December 31, 1993, Chrysler had guaranteed obligations of others in the
amount of $115 million, none of which are secured by collateral.
Note 9. Stock Options and Performance-Based Compensation
The Chrysler Corporation 1991 Stock Compensation Plan (the "1991 Plan")
provides that Chrysler may grant stock options to officers, key employees and
nonemployee directors and also may grant reload stock options (which are
options granted when outstanding options are exercised by payment in stock),
stock appreciation rights (payable in cash or stock, at the sole discretion of
the Stock Option Committee) and limited stock appreciation rights (payable in
cash in the event of a change in control). The 1991 Plan also provides for
awarding restricted stock units and performance stock units, which reward
service for specified periods or attainment of performance objectives. The
Chrysler Corporation Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), initially adopted in 1972
and readopted in 1982, was amended to incorporate certain features of the 1991
Plan.
Under the Plan and the 1991 Plan, outstanding options, consisting of
ten-year nonqualified stock options, have exercise prices of not less than 100
percent of the market value of Chrysler common stock at date of grant. Options
generally become exercisable on up to 40 percent of the shares after one year
from the date of grant, 70 percent after two years and 100 percent after three
years.
Information with respect to options granted under the Plan and the 1991
Plan was as follows:

In addition to the Plan and the 1991 Plan, Chrysler has programs under
which additional compensation is paid to hourly and salaried employees based
upon various measures of Chrysler's performance. Such performance-based
compensation programs include incentive compensation and profit sharing paid to
certain hourly and salaried employees.

Note 10. Shareholders' Equity - Continued
The annual dividend on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Convertible Preferred Stock") is $46.25 per share. The Convertible Preferred
Stock is convertible unless previously redeemed, at a rate (subject to
adjustment in certain events) of 27.78 shares of common stock for each share of
Convertible Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable
prior to January 22, 1997. Thereafter, Chrysler may redeem the Convertible
Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at $523.13 per share of Convertible
Preferred Stock for the period ending December 31, 1997, and thereafter
declining ratably annually to $500.00 per share after December 31, 2001, plus
accrued and unpaid dividends.
In February 1988, the Board of Directors declared and distributed a
dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (a "Right") for each then
outstanding share of Chrysler's common stock and authorized the distribution of
one right with respect to each subsequently issued share of common stock. Each
Right, as amended, entitles a shareholder to purchase one one-hundredth of a
share of Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of Chrysler at a price
of $120. The Rights are attached to the common stock and are not represented
by separate certificates or exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) 10
days after a person or group of persons acquires or obtains the right to
acquire 10 percent or more of Chrysler's outstanding common stock, and (ii) 10
business days after a person or group announces or commences a tender offer
that would result, if successful, in the bidder owning 10 percent or more of
Chrysler's outstanding common stock. If the acquiring person or group acquires
more than 10 percent of the common stock (except pursuant to a tender offer
made for all of Chrysler's common stock, and determined by Chrysler's
independent directors to be fair and in the best interests of Chrysler and its
shareholders) each Right (other than those held by the acquiror) will entitle
its holder to buy, for $120, a number of shares of Chrysler's common stock
having a market value of $240. Similarly, if after the Rights become
exercisable, Chrysler is acquired in a merger or other business combination and
is not the surviving corporation, or 50 percent or more of its assets, cash
flow or earning power is sold, each Right (other than those held by the
surviving or acquiring company) will entitle its holder to purchase, for $120,
shares of the surviving or acquiring company having a market value of $240.
Chrysler's directors may redeem the Rights at $0.05 per Right, and may amend
the Rights or extend the time during which the Rights may be redeemed until 10
business days following the date the Rights first become exercisable.
Additionally, at any time after a person acquires 10 percent or more, but less
than 50 percent, of Chrysler's common stock, Chrysler's directors may exchange
the Rights (other than those held by the acquiror), in whole or in part, at an
exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right. The Rights will expire
on February 22, 1998.
Of the 500 million shares of authorized common stock at December 31, 1993,
7.9 million shares were reserved for the Chrysler Salaried Employees' Savings
Plan, 11.0 million shares were reserved for the 1991 Plan, 13.2 million shares
were reserved for the Plan and 47.9 million shares were reserved for issuance
on conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock.
CFC did not pay cash dividends to Chrysler in 1993, 1992 or 1991. Under
CFC's credit facility, CFC is effectively prohibited from paying cash
dividends.
Earnings (loss) per common share amounts were computed by dividing earnings
(loss) after deduction of preferred stock dividends by the average number of
common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding. Fully diluted per common
share amounts assume conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the
elimination of the related preferred stock dividend requirement, and the
issuance of common stock for all other potentially dilutive equivalents
outstanding. Fully diluted per common share amounts are not applicable for
loss periods.
Note 11. Pension Plans
Chrysler's pension plans provide noncontributory and contributory benefits.
The noncontributory pension plans cover substantially all of the hourly and
salaried employees of Chrysler and certain of its consolidated subsidiaries.
Benefits are based on a fixed rate for each year of service. Additionally,
contributory benefits and supplemental noncontributory benefits are provided to
substantially all salaried employees of Chrysler and certain of its
consolidated subsidiaries under the Salaried Employees' Retirement Plan. This
plan provides contributory benefits based on the employee's cumulative
contributions and a supplemental noncontributory benefit based on years of
service during which employee contributions were made, and the employee's
average salary during the consecutive five years in which salary was highest in
the 15 years preceding retirement.

The reduction in the discount rate for U.S. Plans from 8.38 percent as of
December 31, 1992 to 7.38 percent as of December 31, 1993 resulted in a $1.0
billion increase in the PBO at December 31, 1993, and is expected to result in
a $89 million increase in the 1994 expense. Scheduled increases in benefits
under the 1993 U. S. collective bargaining agreements resulted in a $642
million increase in the PBO in 1993, and is expected to result in a $112
million increase in the 1994 expense. These increases in 1994 expense are
expected to be more than offset by reductions in 1994 expense resulting from
the increased fair value of U.S. plan assets at December 31, 1993, which is
largely the result of Chrysler's contributions to the pension fund and higher
than expected returns on plan assets in 1993.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY Part II - Continued
DATA - Continued
Note 11. Pension Plans - Continued
At December 31, 1993, plan assets were invested in a diversified portfolio
that consisted primarily of debt and equity securities, including 19.2 million
shares of Chrysler common stock.
During 1993, 1992, and 1991, Chrysler offered voluntary early retirement
opportunities to certain salaried and hourly employees. The cost of early
retirement programs offered in 1993, 1992, and 1991 was $40 million, $48
million, and $158 million, respectively.
Note 12. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Chrysler provides health insurance and life insurance benefits to
substantially all of its hourly and salaried employees and those of certain of
its consolidated subsidiaries. Upon retirement from Chrysler, employees may
become eligible for continuation of these benefits. However, benefits and
eligibility rules may be modified periodically. Prior to 1993, the expense
recognized for these benefits was based primarily on cash expenditures for the
period. Effective January 1, 1993, Chrysler adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("OPEB"), which
requires the accrual of such benefits during the years the employees provide
services.
The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in an after-tax charge of
$4.68 billion, or $13.57 per common share, in 1993. This one-time charge
represented the immediate recognition of the OPEB transition obligation of
$7.44 billion, partially offset by $2.76 billion of estimated tax benefits.
The OPEB transition obligation is the aggregate amount that would have been
accrued in the years prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 106, had this standard
been in effect for those years. Implementation of SFAS No. 106 did not
increase Chrysler's cash expenditures for postretirement benefits.
Components of nonpension postretirement benefit expense were as follows for
the year ended December 31, 1993 (in millions of dollars):

Benefits attributed to employees' service $ 142

Note 12. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions - Continued
Nonpension postretirement benefit expense is determined using assumptions
at the beginning of the year. The APBO is determined using the assumptions at
the end of the year. Assumptions at December 31, 1993 were:
[Download Table]
Discount rate 7.5 %
Base health care inflation rate (1994) 9.2 %
Ultimate health care inflation rate (2001) 5.4 %
Average health care inflation rate through 2001 6.3 %
The APBO at January 1, 1993 was determined using a discount rate of 8.6
percent. The reduction in the discount rate from 8.6 percent to 7.5 percent as
of December 31, 1993 resulted in a $1.1 billion increase in the APBO in 1993,
and is expected to result in a $53 million increase in nonpension
postretirement benefit expense in 1994.
A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care inflation rates
in each year would increase the APBO by $1.1 billion and would increase the
aggregate of the service and interest cost components of nonpension
postretirement benefit expense in 1994 by $99 million.
Note 13. Gain on Sales of Automotive Assets and Investments
In 1993, Chrysler sold the plastics operations of its Acustar division for
net proceeds of $132 million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $60
million ($39 million after applicable income taxes). Also during 1993,
Chrysler sold its remaining 50.3 million shares of Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation ("MMC") stock for net proceeds of $329 million, which resulted in a
pre-tax gain of $205 million ($128 million after applicable income taxes).
In 1992, Chrysler sold 43.6 million shares of MMC stock for net proceeds of
$215 million. This sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $142 million ($88 million
after applicable income taxes).
In 1991, Chrysler sold its 50 percent equity interest in Diamond-Star
Motors Corporation ("DSM") to MMC, its partner in the joint venture, for $100
million. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $205 million ($127 million
after applicable income taxes). Chrysler was released from its guarantees of
DSM's financial obligations.
Note 14. Restructuring Charge
The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1992 included a
$101 million pre-tax restructuring charge ($79 million after applicable income
taxes) relating to the realignment of a part of Chrysler's short-term vehicle
rental subsidiaries (the "Car Rental Operations") under Pentastar
Transportation Group, Inc. and to provide for the consolidation and phase out
of certain of those operations. This restructuring charge included the
write-down of goodwill, lease termination costs, losses associated with the
disposal of tangible assets and other related charges.
Note 15. Investment and Plant Capacity Adjustments
The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1992 included a
pre-tax charge of $110 million ($69 million after applicable income taxes) as a
result of a reduction to the estimated net realizable value of investments of
Chrysler Canada Ltd. and certain of its employee benefit plans in a real estate
investment concern, which filed reorganization proceedings in February 1992 and
was subsequently placed in bankruptcy, and in certain of its affiliated
companies.
In 1991, the results of operations included a noncash, nonrecurring pre-tax
credit provision of $391 million ($242 million after applicable income taxes)
which was the result of a reduction in planned capacity adjustments related to
facilities which were acquired by Chrysler in connection with its purchase of
AMC in 1987.

Note 17. Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
"Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by Chrysler using available market
information and the valuation methodologies described below. However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein may not
be indicative of the amounts that Chrysler could realize in a current market
exchange. The use of different assumptions or valuation methodologies may
have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of Chrysler's financial
instruments were as follows:

receivables in Chrysler's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1993

(2) The carrying value of debt excludes $22 million and $30 million of
obligations under capital leases classified as debt in Chrysler's
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and
accounts payable approximated fair values due to the short-term maturities of
these instruments.

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY Part II - Continued
DATA - Continued
Note 17. Financial Instruments - Continued
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of other
financial instruments are summarized as follows:
Marketable securities and noncurrent equity and debt investments
The fair values of marketable securities and noncurrent equity and debt
investments were estimated using quoted market prices.
Finance receivables, retained interests in sold receivables and other related
amounts - net
The carrying value of variable-rate finance receivables was assumed to
approximate fair value since they are priced at current market rates. The
fair value of fixed-rate finance receivables was estimated by discounting
expected cash flows using the current rates at which loans of similar
credit quality and maturity would be made as of the date of the
consolidated balance sheet. The fair values of excess servicing cash flows
and other subordinated amounts due CFC arising from receivable sale
transactions were estimated by discounting expected cash flows using
current market rates.
Debt
The fair value of public debt was estimated using quoted market prices.
The fair value of other long-term debt was estimated by discounting future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and
remaining maturities. The carrying value of borrowings under revolving
credit facilities was assumed to approximate fair value due to their short
maturities.
Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps
The fair values of interest rate swaps and interest rate caps were
estimated by discounting expected cash flows using quoted market interest
rates.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts was estimated based on
quoted market prices for contracts of similar terms.
Foreign currency swaps
The fair value of foreign currency swap agreements was estimated by
discounting expected cash flows using market exchange rates and relative
market interest rates over the remaining term of the swap.
The fair value estimates presented herein were based on information
available as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been revalued since the
date of the consolidated balance sheet and, therefore, current estimates of
fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Note 18. Industry Segment and Geographic Area Data
Industry Segment Data
Chrysler operates in two principal industry segments, Car and Truck and
Financial Services. The Car and Truck segment is composed of the automotive
operations of Chrysler, which includes the research, design, manufacture,
assembly and sale of cars, trucks and related parts and accessories. The Car
Rental Operations and Chrysler's defense electronics business, Chrysler
Technologies Corporation, each represents less than 10 percent of consolidated
revenues, operating profits and identifiable assets, and have been included in
the Car and Truck segment. The Financial Services segment is composed of CFC,
which is engaged in wholesale and retail vehicle financing, property and
casualty insurance, and servicing nonautomotive loans and leases. Information

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Shareholders and Board of Directors
Chrysler Corporation
Highland Park, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Chrysler
Corporation and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included
the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)2. These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Chrysler Corporation and consolidated
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has
adopted recently issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and,
accordingly, changed its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits
other than pensions and postemployment benefits in 1993, and its method of
accounting for income taxes in 1992. In addition, the Company changed its
method of accounting for the cost of special sales incentive programs in 1991.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
Chrysler's management is responsible for preparing the financial statements
and other financial information in this Annual Report. This responsibility
includes maintaining the integrity and objectivity of financial data and the
presentation of Chrysler's results of operations and financial position in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial
statements include amounts that are based on management's best estimates and
judgments.
Chrysler's financial statements have been audited by Deloitte & Touche,
independent auditors. Their audits were conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and included consideration of the internal control
system and tests of transactions as part of planning and performing their
audits.
Chrysler maintains a system of internal controls that provides reasonable
assurance that its records reflect its transactions in all material respects
and that significant misuse or loss of assets will be prevented. Management
believes the system of internal controls is adequate to accomplish these
objectives on a continuous basis. Chrysler maintains a strong internal
auditing program that independently assesses the effectiveness of the internal
controls and recommends possible improvements. Management considers the
General Auditor's and Deloitte & Touche's recommendations concerning the system
of internal controls and takes appropriate actions to respond to these
recommendations.
The Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee composed solely
of nonemployee directors, is responsible for determining that management
fulfills its responsibilities in the preparation of financial statements and
the maintenance of internal controls. In fulfilling its responsibility, the
Audit Committee recommends independent auditors to the Board of Directors for
appointment by the shareholders. The Committee also reviews the consolidated
financial statements and adequacy of internal controls. The Audit Committee
meets regularly with management, the General Auditor and the independent
auditors. Both the independent auditors and the General Auditor have full and
free access to the Audit Committee, without management representatives present,
to discuss the scope and results of their audits and their views on the
adequacy of internal controls and the quality of financial reporting.
It is the business philosophy of Chrysler Corporation and its subsidiaries
to obey the law and to require that its employees conduct their activities
according to the highest standards of business ethics. Management reinforces
this philosophy by numerous actions, including issuing a Code of Ethical
Behavior and maintaining a Business Practices Committee and a Business
Practices Office to support compliance with the Corporation's policies.

investments in Chrysler Financial Corporation ("CFC") and its investments in
short-term vehicle rental subsidiaries ("Car Rental Operations") accounted for
on an equity basis rather than as consolidated subsidiaries. This Supplemental
Information does not purport to present results of operations in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles because it does not comply with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 94, "Consolidation of
