n.b.: In addition to reviewing financial statements reported under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), a more complete understanding of the Company's results can be gained by viewing them on a pro forma, fully distributed basis. This approach considers all ESOP shares (which will be issued to employees over the course of the ESOP period) to be immediately outstanding and thus fully distributed. Consistent with this method, the ESOP compensation expense (which reflects the commitment of stock to employees) is excluded from fully distributed expenses and ESOP convertible preferred stock Convertible Preferred Stock

(1) UAL Corporation is a holding company whose principal subsidiary
    is United Air Lines, Inc.

(2) "ESOP compensation expense" represents the estimated average fair
    value of ESOP convertible preferred stock committed to be
    released to employees for the period, net of amounts used to
    satisfy dividend requirements for previously allocated ESOP
    convertible preferred shares, under Employee Stock Ownership
    Plans which were created as a part of the July 1994 employee
    investment transaction and recapitalization.

(3) "Miscellaneous, net" consisted of the following:

                               Fourth Quarter           Year
                               1995      1994       1995      1994

                               $ -       $  3       $ -       $(124)


(4)  The provisions for income taxes differ from the federal
     statutory rate of 35% principally due to state income taxes and
     certain nondeductible expenses, including certain expenses
     related to the recapitalization.

(5)  During 1995, UAL repaid prior to maturity $750 million in
     principal amount of various debt securities, resulting in an
     aggregate extraordinary loss of $29 million, after tax benefit
     of $18 million.  The securities were scheduled for repayment
     periodically through 2021.

(6)  UAL adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
     Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1994.  The effect
     of adopting SFAS No. 112 was a cumulative charge in 1994 for
     recognition of the transition liability of $42 million, before
     tax benefits of $16 million.

(7)  In April 1995, UAL issued $600 million in principal amount of
     6 3/8% convertible subordinated debentures in exchange for all
     outstanding shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock.
     As a result of the exchange, UAL recorded a non-cash increase of
     $45 million in additional capital invested representing the
     excess of the carrying value of the preferred stock exchanged
     over the fair value of the new debentures.  During 1995, UAL
     repurchased 4,259,709 depository shares, representing 4,260
     shares of its Series B 12 1/4% preferred stock, at an aggregate
     cost of $131 million to be held in treasury.  This resulted in a
     $24 million decrease in total equity.  These transactions had no
     effect on earnings; however, their net impact on UAL's equity is
     included in the computation of earnings per share.  Earnings
     available to common stockholders were also reduced by $3 million
     in the 1994 fourth quarter and twelve-month period for the
     excess of amounts paid to reacquire UAL preferred stock over the
     liquidation preference of such stock.

     Per share amounts were calculated after providing for dividends
     on preferred stock of $11 million in the 1995 fourth quarter,
     $20 million in the 1994 fourth quarter, $50 million in the 1995
     twelve-month period and $59 million in the 1994 twelve-month
     period.  Average shares used in the computations were as follows:

                                          1995      1994
                                         ______    ______
                                          (In Millions)

     Fourth Quarter                       12.5      12.4

     Year:
       Primary                            15.9      18.8
       Fully diluted                      17.9      18.8


     Primary per share amounts in 1995 were based on weighted average
     common shares and common equivalents outstanding, including ESOP
     shares committed to be released.  In addition, fully-diluted per
     share amounts assume the conversion of convertible debentures
     and elimination of related interest.  Common stock equivalents
     were not included in the 1994 computations as they did not have
     a dilutive effect.

     In connection with the July 1994 recapitalization, each old
     common share was exchanged for one half new common share.  As
     required under generally accepted accounting principles for
     transactions of this type, the historical weighted average
     shares outstanding have not been restated.  Thus, direct
     comparisons between per share amounts for the 1995 and 1994
     annual periods are not meaningful.
