(A)- Omitted or amended as the registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Navistar International Corporation and meets the conditions set forth in
General Instructions I(1) (a) and (b) of Form 10-K and is, therefore,
filing this Form with the reduced disclosure format.
PART I
Item 1. Business
The registrant, Navistar Financial Corporation ("NFC"), was
incorporated in Delaware in 1949 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
International Truck and Engine Corporation ("International"). As used herein,
the "Corporation" refers to Navistar Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries unless the context otherwise requires.
The Corporation is a commercial financing organization that provides
wholesale, retail and lease financing in the United States for sales of new and
used trucks sold by International and International's dealers. The Corporation
also finances wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable of
International. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other manufacturers
are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily sold for use
with International's truck products.
On November 30, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved
management's plan for the sale of Harco National Insurance Company ("Harco"),
the wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. Harco provides commercial physical damage
and liability insurance coverage to International's dealers and retail
customers, and to the general public through an independent insurance agency
system. As a result of this plan of disposal, the previously reported financial
statements have been restated and the results of operations of Harco have been
reported as Discontinued Operations.
Item 2. Properties
The Corporation's properties principally consist of office equipment
and leased office space in Rolling Meadows, Illinois; Duluth, Georgia and Plano,
Texas. The office equipment owned and in use by the Corporation is not
significant in relation to the total assets of the Corporation.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There were no material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary,
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Corporation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Intentionally omitted. See the index page of this Report for
explanation.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters
See Note 12 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Intentionally omitted. See the index page of this Report for
explanation.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements under this caption, which involve risks and
uncertainties, constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Securities
Reform Act. Navistar Financial Corporation's actual results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to,
those discussed under the headings "Business Outlook" and "Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
Financing Volume
Customer demand for Class 5 through 8 trucks in fiscal 2000 was 6%
lower than 1999 and 12% higher than 1998. High liquidity in the commercial
financing markets continued to provide the Corporation's customers with other
financing alternatives.
Financing support provided to retail customers over the last three
years was as follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Retail and Lease Financing: ($ millions)
Finance market share of new International
trucks sold in the U.S. 16.4% 16.4% 16.0%
Purchases of receivables and
equipment leased to others $1,475 $1,526 $1,397
Serviced retail notes and lease
financing balances (including
sold notes) at October 31 $3,296 $3,003 $2,579
During fiscal year 2000, the Corporation maintained a 16.4% finance
market share of new International trucks sold in the U.S. The purchase of
receivables and equipment leased to others declined 3% from 1999 levels
primarily due to lower industry demand. During fiscal 2000 the serviced
portfolio increased 10% to $3.3 billion. Purchases of receivables and equipment
leased to others in 1999 grew 9% above 1998 as a result of the higher finance
market share and truck industry demand.
Financing support provided to International's dealers over the last
three years was as follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
Wholesale Financing: ($ millions)
Percent of wholesale financing of
new International trucks sold to
International's dealers in the U.S. 96% 96% 95%
Purchases of receivables $4,119 $4,188 $3,813
Serviced wholesale note balances
(including sold notes) at
October 31 $1,115 $1,226 $1,039
2
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Financing Volume (continued)
In spite of the strong liquidity in the commercial financing market,
the Corporation's finance percentage of new International trucks sold to
International's dealers remained at 96% in 2000. The volume of receivables
purchased in 2000 was 2% lower than 1999 as industry demand declined during the
last half of fiscal year 2000. Receivables purchased increased 10% in 1999 from
1998 levels as dealers increased inventory levels in response to higher demand.
Results from Continuing Operations
Results from continuing operations over the last three years were as
follows:
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----
($ millions)
Revenue $311 $284 $234
Cost of borrowing 110 95 88
Income before taxes 92 96 79
Net income 56 59 49
Return on average equity 18.9% 21.0% 17.1%
The Corporation's return on average equity was 18.9% in 2000, compared
with 21.0% and 17.1% in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease from 1999 was
due primarily to lower gains on sales of retail note receivables and higher
losses on retail receivables, offset, in part, by higher average finance
receivable balances. The increase in 1999 over 1998 was due primarily to higher
finance receivable balances, resulting from an increase in International's
sales, and a higher level of average outstanding accounts payable to affiliates
which proportionately lowered debt levels and interest expense. This was offset,
in part, by a higher provision for losses, higher costs to service the larger
portfolio, and the competitive commercial financing market which continued to
put pressure on retail and wholesale finance margins.
Retail note financing revenue for 2000 was $79 million compared with
$85 million and $79 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in 2000
is primarily the result of lower gains on the sale of retail note receivables.
Gains on the sales of retail note receivables were $3 million, $12 million and
$15 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The lower gains reflect lower
retail note margins and increased funding rates incurred by the Corporation in
the asset-backed market.
3
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results from Continuing Operations (continued)
Lease financing revenue for 2000 was $94 million compared with $76
million and $57 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Included in lease
financing revenue is operating lease revenue of $75 million, $62 million and $46
million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The higher operating lease revenue
is the result of an increase in vehicles under operating leases due to a market
shift toward lease financing.
In fiscal 2000 wholesale note revenue increased 3% to $64 million
compared to 1999, primarily as a result of the higher level of wholesale
financing activity and an increase in the average prime interest rate. Wholesale
note revenue increased 45% in 1999 to $63 million as a result of the higher
level of wholesale financing activity, offset in part by lower yields in
response to the lower average prime interest rate.
Retail and wholesale account revenue for 2000 was $43 million compared
with $36 million and $33 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase is
primarily the result of higher average balances and an increase in the average
prime interest rate.
Servicing fee income for 2000 was $31 million compared with $24 million
and $22 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase was primarily the
result of higher average sold receivable balances.
Borrowing costs increased 16% in 2000 to $110 million from $95 million
in 1999 primarily due to higher average receivable funding requirements and
higher average interest rates. Accounts payable to affiliates reduced debt
levels and resulted in a reduction in borrowing costs of $16 million and $13
million for fiscal years ending 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Corporation's
weighted average interest rate on all debt was 6.4% in 2000, 5.6% in 1999 and
6.4% in 1998. The increase in the Corporation's weighted average interest rate
is primarily a result of the increase in market interest rates. Borrowing costs
increased 7% in 1999 to $95 million from $88 million in 1998 primarily due to
higher average receivable funding requirements. The ratio of debt to equity was
6.2:1, 6.1:1, and 5.8:1 at October 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The provision for losses on receivables totaled $12 million in 2000
compared with $6 million in 1999 and $1 million in 1998. The increase in 2000
compared to 1999 is primarily due to an increase in repossession frequency and
pricing pressure in the used truck market. Notes and account write-offs, net of
recoveries, including sold notes, were $12 million in 2000, $5 million in 1999
and less than one million in 1998. The Corporation's allowance for losses as a
percentage of serviced finance receivables was .54%, .55% and .64% at October
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Depreciation and other expenses in 2000 increased to $55 million from
$44 million in 1999 and $30 million in 1998. The increase is primarily the
result of a larger investment in equipment under operating leases.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results from Discontinued Operations
On November 30, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved
management's plan for the sale of Harco National Insurance Company ("Harco"),
the wholly-owned insurance subsidiary. Harco provides commercial physical damage
and liability insurance coverage to International's dealers and retail
customers, and to the general public through an independent insurance agency
system. As a result of this plan of disposal, the previously reported financial
statements have been restated and the results of operations of Harco have been
reported as Discontinued Operations.
The pretax loss on disposal of Harco is estimated to be approximately
$17 million and includes the estimated loss on sale of $12 million,
approximately $4 million of severance and other exit costs, and approximately $1
million of curtailment loss associated with the related future reduction of
employees from the Corporation's postretirement benefit plans. The anticipated
future results of operations of Harco through the date of disposition is not
anticipated to be material. The loss on disposal is reflected net of a deferred
tax benefit of approximately $6 million in the Statement of Consolidated
Financial Condition.
Revenues of Harco were $56 million, $44 million and $42 million for
fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Liquidity and Funds Management
The Corporation has traditionally obtained the funds to provide
financing to International's dealers and retail customers from sales of
receivables, commercial paper, short and long-term bank borrowings, medium and
long-term debt and equity capital. The Corporation's current debt ratings have
made sales of finance receivables the most economical source of funding.
In February 2000, Standard and Poors raised the Corporation's senior
debt ratings from BB+ to BBB-, while the subordinated debt ratings were also
raised from BB- to BB+. In May 1999, Moody's and Duff and Phelps raised the
Corporation's senior debt ratings from Ba1 and BBB- to Baa3 and BBB,
respectively, while also raising the subordinated debt ratings from Ba3 and BB+
to Ba2 and BBB-, respectively.
Operations used $322 million of cash in 2000 primarily as a result of
the decrease of $441 million in accounts payable to affiliates. To fund the cash
used for operations, investing and finance activities provided $324 million in
cash during this period primarily as a result of the sale of retail and
wholesale notes and proceeds from long term debt, partially offset by the
purchases of retail notes and lease receivables. See also the "Statements of
Consolidated Cash Flow" on page 14.
5
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Funds Management (continued)
Over the last three years, operations provided an aggregate of $411
million in cash, and proceeds from the sale of retail receivables totaled $3,102
million. These amounts were used principally to fund the purchase of finance
receivables and equipment leased to others of $4,062, net of principal
collections on the receivables, and to pay dividends of $140 million.
Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 2000, 1999
and 1998. Through the asset-backed public market and private placement sales,
the Corporation has been able to fund fixed rate retail note receivables at
rates offered to companies with higher investment grade ratings. During fiscal
2000, in two separate sales, the Corporation sold a total of $1,008 million of
retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through Navistar Financial Retail
Receivables Corporation ("NFRRC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.
The Corporation sold $533 million of retail notes in November 1999 to two
multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by a major
financial institution and $475 million of retail notes in March 2000 to an owner
trust which, in turn, sold notes to investors. Aggregate gains of $3 million
were recognized on the sales. During fiscal 1999, in two separate sales, the
Corporation sold a total of $1,260 million of retail notes, net of unearned
finance income, through NFRRC. The Corporation sold $545 million of retail notes
in November 1998 to a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit
sponsored by a major financial institution and $715 million of retail notes in
June 1999 to an owner trust which, in turn, issued securities which were sold to
investors. Aggregate gains of $12 million were recognized on the sales. During
fiscal 1998, the Corporation sold a total of $1,001 million of retail notes, net
of unearned finance income, through NFRRC, to owner trusts, which in turn,
issued securities which were sold to investors. Aggregate gains of $15 million
were recognized on the sales. As of October 31, 2000, the aggregate shelf
registration available to NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed securities is
$1,783 million. In November 2000, the Corporation sold $765 million of retail
notes, net of unearned finance income, through NFRRC to an owner trust which, in
turn, issued securities which were sold to investors. A $5 million gain was
recognized on this sale in November 2000.
At October 31, 2000, Navistar Financial Securities Corporation
("NFSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, had in place a revolving
wholesale note trust that funded $883 million of eligible wholesale notes.
During fiscal 2000, NFSC issued a $212 million tranche of investor certificates
which mature in June 2005 and sold variable funding certificates with an initial
balance of $300 million, to a conduit sponsored by a major financial
institution. The maximum funding capacity of the variable funding certificates
was reduced to $200 million in July 2000. As of October 31, 2000 the trust was
comprised of three $200 million tranches of investor certificates maturing in
2003, 2004 and 2008, a $212 million tranche of investor certificates maturing in
2005 and variable funding certificates with a balance of $125 million maturing
in 2001.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Funds Management (continued)
During fiscal 2000, the Corporation established Truck Retail Accounts
Corporation ("TRAC"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation, for the purpose of securitizing retail accounts receivable. At
October 31, 2000, TRAC had in place a revolving retail account conduit that
provides for the funding of $100 million of eligible retail accounts. As of
October 31, 2000 the Corporation had utilized $80 million of this facility. The
facility expires in 2001.
In November 2000, the Corporation established Truck Engine Receivables
Financing Corporation ("TERFCO"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Corporation, for the purpose of securitizing engine accounts receivable. On
November 21, 2000, the Corporation securitized all of its unsecured trade
receivables generated by the sale of diesel engines and engine service parts
from International to Ford. The transaction provides for funding of $100 million
and expires in 2006.
During fiscal 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Corporation entered into
sale/leaseback agreements with third party financiers involving vehicles subject
to retail finance leases and operating leases with end users. Total proceeds
were $137 million, $160 million and $144 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The outstanding capital lease obligations at October 31, 2000 were
$379 million.
On October 16, 2000 Truck Retail Instalment Paper Corporation ("TRIP"),
a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, terminated the
previously existing $400 million Asset-Backed Commercial Paper facility and
issued $475 million of a senior class AAA rated and $25 million of a
subordinated class A rated floating rate asset-backed notes. The proceeds were
used to purchase eligible receivables from the Corporation and establish a
revolving retail warehouse facility for the Corporation's retail notes and
retail leases, other than fair market value leases.
The Corporation manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates
by limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable rate debt
generally by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by
utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial
instruments may include forward contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps.
7
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Funds Management (continued)
In November 1998, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables to
a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major
financial institution on a variable rate basis. For the protection of investors,
the Corporation issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, the Corporation will make
payments if interest rates exceed certain levels. As of October 31, 2000 the cap
had a notional amount of $224 million and a fair value of $1 million, which is
recorded in other liabilities in the Statement of Consolidated Financial
Condition.
In November 1999, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables on
a variable rate basis and entered into an amortizing interest rate swap
agreement to fix the future cash flows of interest paid to lenders. In March
2000, the Corporation transferred all the rights and obligations of the swap to
the bank conduit. The notional amount of the amortizing swap is based on the
expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail receivables. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Corporation will make or receive payments based on
the difference between the transferred swap notional amount and the outstanding
principal balance of the sold retail receivables. The net settlement is included
in retail notes revenue. As of October 31, 2000 the difference between the
amortizing swap notional amount and the net outstanding principal balance of the
sold retail receivables was $11 million and had an immaterial fair value.
Under the revolving retail warehouse facility, the Corporation sells
fixed rate retail notes or finance leases to the conduit and pays investors a
floating rate of interest. As required by the rating agencies, the Corporation
purchased an interest rate cap to protect investors against rising interest
rates. To offset the economic cost of this cap, the Corporation sold an
identical interest rate cap. As of October 31, 2000 the interest rate caps each
had a notional amount of $500 million and a net fair value of zero.
The Corporation has a $925 million bank revolving credit facility and
the $500 million revolving retail warehouse facility program, which mature in
March 2001 and October 2005, respectively. Subsequent to October 31, 2000, the
Corporation renegotiated its revolving credit agreement. See Note 9 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. As of October 31,
2000, available funding under the bank revolving credit facility and the
revolving retail warehouse facility was $30 million. When combined with
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $72 million remained available to fund
the general business purposes of the Corporation.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Year 2000
The Corporation had instituted a corporate-wide Year 2000 readiness
project to identify all systems, which required modification or replacement, and
to establish appropriate remediation and contingency plans to avoid an impact on
the Corporation's ability to continue to provide its products and services.
Through the date of this report, the Corporation has not experienced any
significant Year 2000 problems. Total costs of the Year 2000 project were $6
million.
New Accounting Standards
On November 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as amended. This statement standardizes the accounting for
derivative instruments by requiring that an entity recognize all derivatives as
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure them
at fair value. When certain criteria are met, it also provides for matching the
timing of gain or loss recognition on the derivative hedging instrument with the
recognition of (a) the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged
asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the earnings effect of
the hedged forecasted transaction. The cumulative transition adjustment recorded
upon adoption was not material.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which the
Corporation must adopt for all applicable transactions occurring after March 31,
2001. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the
Corporation's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Business Outlook
Retail deliveries of Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses,
in the U.S. in fiscal 2001 is forecasted to decrease approximately 27% from
2000. The competitive commercial financing market will continue to put pressure
on the Corporation's retail and wholesale financing activity and margins.
Increased volatility in the capital markets is likely to put additional pressure
on the funding rates available to the Corporation in the asset-backed public
market, commercial paper markets and other debt financing markets. Additionally,
high fuel costs may impact the financial strength of the Corporation's customers
and the Corporation's ability to maintain the current level of portfolio
quality.
9
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Business Outlook (continued)
Management believes that collections on the outstanding receivables
portfolio plus cash available from the Corporation's various funding sources
will permit Navistar Financial Corporation to meet the financing requirements of
International's dealers and retail customers through 2001 and beyond.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Corporation is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations
in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the funding of a portion of
the Corporation's fixed rate receivables with floating rate debt. The
Corporation has managed exposure to interest rate changes by funding floating
rate receivables with floating rate debt and fixed rate receivables with fixed
rate debt, floating rate debt and equity capital. Management has reduced the net
exposure which results from the funding of fixed rate receivables with floating
rate debt by generally selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and
by utilizing derivative financial instruments. The Corporation does not use
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Corporation measures its interest rate risk by estimating the net
amount by which the fair value of all interest rate sensitive assets and
liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, would be impacted by
selected hypothetical changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical
10% increase in interest rates as of October 31, 2000, the estimated fair value
of the net assets, excluding net assets of Discontinued Operations, would
decrease by approximately $17 million.

NAVISTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navistar
Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Corporation").
International Truck and Engine Corporation ("International"), which is
wholly-owned by Navistar International Corporation ("Navistar"), is the parent
company of the Corporation.
Nature of Operations
The Corporation is a commercial financing organization that provides
retail, wholesale and lease financing of products sold by International and its
dealers within the United States.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue on Receivables
Revenue from finance receivables is recognized using the interest
method. Revenue on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the lease. Recognition of revenue is suspended when management
determines the collection of future income is not probable. Income recognition
is resumed if collection doubts are removed.
Allowance for Losses on Receivables
The allowance for losses on receivables is established through a charge
to the provision for losses. The allowance is an estimate of the amount required
to absorb losses on existing receivables that may become uncollectible. The
allowance is maintained at an amount management considers appropriate in
relation to the outstanding receivables portfolio based on such factors as
overall portfolio quality, historical loss experience and current economic
conditions.
15
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Allowance for Losses on Receivables (continued)
Under various agreements, International and its dealers may be liable
for a portion of customer losses or may be required to repurchase the
repossessed collateral at the receivable principal value. The Corporation's
losses are net of these benefits. Receivables are charged off to the allowance
for losses when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Receivable Sales
The Corporation securitizes and sells receivables to public and private
investors with limited recourse. The Corporation continues to service the
receivables, for which a servicing fee is received. Servicing fees are earned on
a level yield basis over the terms of the related sold receivables and are
included in servicing fee income. Gains or losses on sales of receivables are
credited or charged to financing revenue in the period in which the sales occur.
An adequate allowance for credit losses is provided prior to the receivable
sale.
Income Taxes
Navistar and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return, which includes International and the Corporation. Federal income taxes
for the Corporation are computed on a separate consolidated return basis and are
payable to International.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and marketable
securities with original maturities of three months or less.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts,
interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, are held for purposes other than
trading. The Corporation's policy prohibits the use of derivative financial
instruments for speculative purposes. The Corporation generally uses derivative
financial instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility.
The Corporation may use forward contracts to hedge future interest
payments on the notes and certificates related to an expected sale of
receivables. The principal balance of receivables expected to be sold by the
Corporation equals or exceeds the notional amount of open forward contracts. The
Corporation may use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate
changes when it sells fixed rate receivables on a variable rate basis. Gains or
losses incurred with the closing of forward contracts and interest rate swaps
are included in the net gain or loss on sale of receivables.
16
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)
For the protection of investors, the Corporation may enter into an
interest rate cap when fixed rate receivables are sold on a variable rate basis.
The Corporation will make payments under the terms of the written caps if
interest rates exceed certain levels. The interest rate caps are recorded at
fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in income.
New Accounting Standards
On November 1, 2000, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", as amended. This statement standardizes the accounting for
derivative instruments by requiring that an entity recognize all derivatives as
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure them
at fair value. When certain criteria are met, it also provides for matching the
timing of gain or loss recognition on the derivative hedging instrument with the
recognition of (a) the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged
asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk or (b) the earnings effect of
the hedged forecasted transaction. The cumulative transition adjustment recorded
upon adoption was not material.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which the
Corporation must adopt for all applicable transactions occurring after March 31,
2001. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the
Corporation's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation used in the 2000 financial statements.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES
Wholesale Notes, Wholesale Accounts and Retail Accounts
In accordance with the agreements between the Corporation and
International relating to financing of wholesale notes, wholesale accounts and
retail accounts, the Corporation receives interest income from International at
agreed upon interest rates applied to the average outstanding balances less
interest amounts paid by dealers on wholesale notes and wholesale accounts. The
Corporation purchases wholesale notes and accounts from International at the
principal amount of the receivables. Revenue collected from International was
$85.6 in 2000, $71.5 in 1999 and $67.2 in 1998.
Retail Notes and Lease Financing
In accordance with agreements between the Corporation and
International, International may be liable for certain losses on the finance
receivables and may be required to repurchase the repossessed collateral at the
receivable principal value. Losses recorded by International were $22.5 in 2000,
$3.5 in 1999 and $10.7 in 1998.
Support Agreements
Under provisions of certain public and private financing arrangements,
agreements with International and Navistar provide that the Corporation's
consolidated income before interest expense and income taxes will be maintained
at not less than 125% of its consolidated interest expense. No income
maintenance payments were required during the three-year period ended October
31, 2000.
Administrative Expenses
The Corporation pays a fee to International for data processing and
other administrative services based on the actual cost of services performed.
The amount of the fee was $3.0 in 2000 and $2.6 in 1999 and 1998.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable to affiliates, which are obligated to be repaid upon
request, were $266.4, $706.9, and $136.8 at October 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998,
respectively. Accounts payable to affiliates reduced debt levels and resulted in
a reduction in borrowing costs of $15.9 for fiscal 2000 and $12.5 for fiscal
1999. The reduction in borrowing costs for fiscal 1998 was not material.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On November 30, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved
management's plan for the sale of Harco National Insurance Company ("Harco"),
the wholly-owned insurance subsidiary.
Harco provides commercial physical damage and liability insurance
coverage to International's dealers and retail customers, and to the general
public through an independent insurance agency system. Harco generates its funds
through internal operations and has no external borrowings. Insurance premiums
written by Harco are earned on a pro rata basis over the terms of the policies.
Commission costs and premium taxes incurred in acquiring business are deferred
and amortized on the same basis as related premiums are earned. The liability
for unpaid insurance claims includes provisions for reported claims and
estimates of unreported claims based on past experience. Such provisions include
an estimate of loss adjustment expense. The estimated liability for unpaid
insurance claims is regularly reviewed and updated. Any change in such estimate
is reflected in current operations. Harco limits its exposure on any single loss
occurrence by ceding reinsurance to other insurance enterprises.
The Harco insurance segment is accounted for as a discontinued
operation and, accordingly amounts in the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto for all periods shown have been restated to reflect discontinued
operations accounting. The net assets of Harco have been reflected on the
consolidated balance sheet at net realizable value and consisted of the
following at October 31:
2000 1999
Marketable securities, at fair value................ $110.4 $101.7
Reinsurance receivables............................. 27.0 23.7

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (continued)
The pretax loss on disposal of Harco is estimated to be approximately
$16.9 and includes the estimated loss on sale of $11.9, approximately $3.8 of
severance and other exit costs, and $1.2 of curtailment loss associated with the
related future reduction of employees from the Corporation's postretirement
benefit plans. The anticipated future results of operations of Harco through the
date of disposition is not anticipated to be material. The loss on disposal is
reflected net of a deferred tax benefit of $6.4 in the Statement of Consolidated
Income.
Revenues of Harco were $55.9, $44.2 and $41.6 for fiscal 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

======== ======= ====== =======
The actual cash collections from finance receivables may vary from the
contractual cash flows because of sales, prepayments, extensions and renewals.
The contractual maturities, therefore, should not be regarded as a forecast of
future collections.
The Corporation's primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and
lease financing for new and used trucks sold by International and
International's dealers, and as a result, the Corporation's receivables and
leases have significant concentration in the trucking industry. On a geographic
basis, there is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk in any area
of the United States. The Corporation retains as collateral a security interest
in the equipment associated with wholesale notes, retail notes and leases.
The Corporation sells finance receivables to public and private
investors with limited recourse provisions. Outstanding sold receivable
balances, net of unearned finance income, at October 31 are as follows:
2000 1999
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retail notes............................ $1,730.2 $1,696.0
Wholesale notes......................... 883.0 600.0
Retail accounts......................... 80.0 -
---- ----
Total.............................. $2,693.2 $2,296.0
======== ========
The Corporation has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Navistar Financial
Retail Receivables Corporation ("NFRRC"), Navistar Financial Securities
Corporation ("NFSC") and Truck Retail Account Corporation ("TRAC"), which have a
limited purpose of purchasing retail, wholesale and account receivables,
respectively, and transferring an undivided ownership interest in such
receivables to investors.

4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES (continued)
During fiscal 2000, in two separate sales, the Corporation sold a total
of $1,008 of retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through NFRRC. The
Corporation sold $533.3 of retail notes in November 1999 to two multi-seller
asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by a major financial
institution and $475.0 of retail notes in March 2000 to an owner trust which, in
turn, sold notes to investors. Aggregate gains of $2.5 were recognized on the
sales. As of October 31, 2000, the aggregate shelf registration available to
NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed securities is $1,782.6.
At October 31, 2000, NFSC has in place a revolving wholesale note trust
that provides for the funding of $883.0 of eligible wholesale notes. During
fiscal 2000, NFSC issued a $212.0 tranche of investor certificates which mature
in June 2005 and NFSC sold variable funding certificates with an initial balance
of $300.0, to a conduit sponsored by a major financial institution. The maximum
funding capacity of the variable funding certificates was reduced to $200
million in July 2000. As of October 31, 2000 the trust is comprised of three
$200.0 tranches of investor certificates maturing in 2003, 2004 and 2008, a
$212.0 tranche of investor certificates maturing in 2005 and variable funding
certificates with a balance of $125.0 which mature in 2001.
TRAC has in place a revolving retail account conduit that provides for
the funding of $100.0 of eligible retail accounts. As of October 31, 2000 the
Corporation has utilized $80.0 of this facility. The facility expires in 2001.
NFRRC, NFSC and TRAC have limited recourse on the sold receivables and
their assets are available to satisfy the claims of their creditors prior to
such assets becoming available for their own uses or to the Corporation or
affiliated companies. The terms of receivable sales generally require the
Corporation to maintain cash reserves with the trusts and conduits as credit
enhancement. The use of cash reserves held by the trusts and conduits is
restricted under the terms of the securitized sales agreements. The maximum
exposure under all receivable sale recourse provisions at October 31, 2000 was
$329.8; however, management believes the recorded reserves for losses are
adequate.
The following is a summary of amounts included in Amounts Due from
Sales of Receivables as of October 31:

On October 16, 2000 Truck Retail Instalment Paper Corporation ("TRIP"),
a special purpose wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, terminated the
previously existing $400 Asset-Backed Commercial Paper facility and issued $475
of a senior class AAA rated and $25 of a subordinated class A rated floating
rate asset-backed notes. The proceeds were used to purchase eligible receivables
from the Corporation and establish a revolving retail warehouse facility for the
Corporation's retail notes and retail leases, other than fair market value
leases.
At October 31, 2000, the Corporation had a $925 contractually committed
bank revolving credit facility. Subsequent to October 31, 2000, the Corporation
renegotiated its revolving credit agreement. The new agreement provides for
aggregate borrowings of $820 and will mature in November 2005. Under the new
revolving credit agreement, Navistar's three Mexican finance subsidiaries will
be permitted to borrow up to $100 in the aggregate, which will be guaranteed by
the Corporation.
Available funding under the bank revolving credit facility and the
revolving retail warehouse facility was $30. When combined with unrestricted
cash and cash equivalents, $72 was available to fund the general business
purposes of the Corporation at October 31, 2000. Under the terms of the bank
revolving credit facility, the Corporation is required to maintain tangible net
worth at a minimum of $175 and a debt to tangible net worth ratio of no greater
than 7 to 1. The bank revolving credit agreement grants security interests in
substantially all of the Corporation's assets to the Corporation's debt holders.
Compensating cash balances are not required under the bank revolving credit
facility. Facility fees are paid quarterly regardless of usage.

9. SENIOR AND SUBORDINATED DEBT (continued)
During fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Corporation entered into
sale/leaseback agreements involving vehicles subject to retail finance and
operating leases with end users. The balances are classified under senior and
subordinated debt as capital lease obligations. In connection with the sale and
leaseback of certain of its leasing portfolio assets, the Corporation and its
subsidiary, Harco Leasing, Inc. ("HLC"), have established Navistar Leasing
Company ("NLC"), a Delaware business trust. NLC holds legal title to leased
vehicles and is the lessor on substantially all leases originated by the
Corporation. The assets of NLC have been and will continue to be allocated into
various beneficial interests issued by NLC. HLC owns one such beneficial
interest in NLC and HLC has transferred other beneficial interests issued by NLC
to purchasers under sale/leaseback agreements. Neither the beneficial interests
held by purchasers under sale/leaseback agreements or the assets represented
thereby, nor legal interest in any assets of NLC, are available to HLC, the
Corporation or its creditors.
10. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Corporation provides postretirement benefits to a substantial
number of its employees. Costs associated with postretirement benefits include
pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees and
surviving spouses and dependents.
Generally, the pension plans are non-contributory. The Corporation's
policy is to fund its pension plans in accordance with applicable United States
government regulations. At October 31, 2000, all legal funding requirements had
been met.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation's
financial instruments were as follows:
2000 1999
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Value Value Value Value
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial assets:
Finance receivables:
Retail notes....................... $ 1,050.5 $ 1,036.6 $ 851.9 $ 858.6
Wholesale notes and accounts....... 404.8 404.8 1,036.2 1,036.2
Amounts due from sales of
Receivables........................ 316.5 311.8 244.5 242.5
Financial liabilities:
Senior and subordinated debt,
excluding capital lease
obligations........................ 1,495.0 1,494.9 1,352.7 1,353.7
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair
value.
The fair value of retail notes is estimated by discounting the future
contractual cash flows using an estimated discount rate reflecting current rates
paid to purchasers of similar types of receivables with similar credit, interest
rate and prepayment risks. For wholesale notes and retail and wholesale
accounts, all of which reprice monthly, the carrying amounts approximate fair
value as a result of the short-term nature of the receivables.
The fair value of cash deposits included above in amounts due from
sales of receivables approximates their carrying value. The fair values of other
amounts due from sales of receivables were derived by discounting expected cash
flows at estimated current market rates.
For fixed rate debt, the fair value is estimated based on quoted market
prices where available and, where not available, on quoted market prices of debt
with similar characteristics.
The estimated fair values for all other financial instruments
approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature or variable
interest terms inherent in the financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Derivatives Held or Issued for Purposes Other Than Trading
The Corporation manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates
by limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable rate debt
generally by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by
utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial
instruments may include forward contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps. The fair value of these instruments is estimated based on quoted market
prices and is subject to market risk as the instruments may become less valuable
due to changes in market conditions or interest rates. The Corporation manages
exposure to counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial
instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully
perform under the terms of such agreements. The Corporation does not require
collateral or other security to support derivative financial instruments with
credit risk. The Corporation's counter-party credit exposure is limited to the
fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date. At
October 31, 2000, the Corporation's derivative financial instruments had a
negative net fair value. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of
derivative financial instruments and do not represent exposure to credit loss.
The Corporation enters into derivative financial instruments to manage
its exposure to fluctuations in the fair value of retail notes anticipated to be
sold. The Corporation manages such risk by entering into forward contracts to
sell fixed debt securities or forward interest rate swaps whose fair value is
highly correlated with that of the Corporation's receivables. Income recognition
of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is deferred until the derivative
instruments are closed. Gains or losses incurred with the closing of these
agreements are included as a component of the gain or loss on sale of
receivables. As of October 31, 2000, there were no such derivative financial
instruments open.
In November 1998, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables to
a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major
financial institution on a variable rate basis. For the protection of investors,
the Corporation issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, the Corporation will make
payments if interest rates exceed certain levels. As of October 31, 2000 the cap
had a notional amount of $224 and a fair value of $1, which is recorded in other
liabilities in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Condition.
32
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
In November 1999, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables on
a variable rate basis and entered into an amortizing interest rate swap
agreement to fix the future cash flows of interest paid to lenders. In March
2000, the Corporation transferred all the rights and obligations of the swap to
the bank conduit. The notional amount of the amortizing swap is based on the
expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail receivables. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Corporation will make or receive payments based on
the differential between the transferred swap notional amount and the
outstanding principal balance of the sold retail receivables. The net settlement
is included in retail notes revenue. As of October 31, 2000 the differential
between the amortizing swap notional amount and the net outstanding principal
balance of the sold retail receivables was $11 and had an immaterial fair value.
In October 2000, the Corporation entered into a $500 retail revolving
facility as a method to fund retail notes and finance leases prior to the sale
of receivables. Under the agreements of this facility, the Corporation sells
fixed rate retail notes or finance leases to the conduit and pays investors a
floating rate of interest. As required by the rating agencies, the Corporation
purchased an interest rate cap to protect investors against rising interest
rates. To offset the economic cost of this cap, the Corporation sold an
identical interest rate cap. As of October 31, 2000 the interest rate caps each
had a notional amount of $500 and a net fair value of zero.
14. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Corporation is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary
course of business, and is party to various legal proceedings which constitute
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Corporation. In
the opinion of the Corporation's management, none of these proceedings or claims
are material to the business or the financial condition of the Corporation.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In November 2000, the Corporation sold $764.7 of retail notes, net of
unearned finance income, through NFRRC to an owner trust which, in turn, issued
securities which were sold to investors. A $4.8 gain was recognized in November
2000.
In November 2000, the Corporation established Truck Engine Receivables
Financing Corporation ("TERFCO"), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Corporation, for the purpose of securitizing engine accounts receivable. On
November 21, 2000, the Corporation securitized all of its unsecured trade
receivables generated by the sale of diesel engines and engine service parts
from International to Ford. The transaction provides for funding of $100 million
and expires in 2006.
