PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. ("TMS") which was incorporated in California in
1982 and commenced operations in 1983. TMCC provides retail leasing, retail
and wholesale financing and certain other financial services to authorized
Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota industrial equipment dealers and their
customers in the United States (excluding Hawaii). TMCC has six wholly-owned
subsidiaries, four of which are engaged in the insurance business, one limited
purpose subsidiary formed primarily to acquire and securitize retail finance
receivables and one newly formed corporation, established in January 1996, to
provide retail and wholesale financing and certain other financial services
to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers and their customers in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. See Item 14, Exhibit 21.1. TMCC and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company".

The Company's earnings are primarily impacted by the level of average earning
assets, comprised primarily of investments in operating leases and finance
receivables, and asset yields as well as outstanding borrowings and the cost
of funds. The Company's business is substantially dependent upon the sale of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. Changes in the volume of
sales of such vehicles resulting from governmental action, changes in consumer
demand, changes in pricing of imported units due to currency fluctuations, or
other events, could impact the level of finance and insurance operations of
the Company. To date, the level of the Company's operations has not been
restricted by the level of sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

An operating agreement between TMCC and TMS (the "Operating Agreement"),
provides that TMCC will establish its own financing rates and is under no
obligation to TMS to finance wholesale obligations from any dealers or retail
obligations of any customers. In addition, pursuant to the Operating
Agreement, TMS will arrange for the repurchase of new Toyota and Lexus
vehicles financed at wholesale by TMCC at the aggregate cost financed in the
event of dealer default. The Operating Agreement also specifies that TMS will
retain 100% ownership of TMCC as long as TMCC has any funded debt outstanding
and that TMS will make necessary equity contributions or provide other
financial assistance TMS deems appropriate to ensure that TMCC maintains a
minimum coverage on fixed charges of 1.10 times such fixed charges in any
fiscal quarter; the Operating Agreement was amended on May 14, 1996 to reduce
the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.25 to 1.10. The Operating
Agreement does not constitute a guarantee by TMS of any obligations of TMCC.
The fixed charge coverage provision of the Operating Agreement is solely for
the benefit of the holders of TMCC's commercial paper, and the Operating
Agreement may be amended or terminated at any time without notice to, or the
consent of, holders of other TMCC obligations.

Retail Leasing

TMCC purchases primarily new and used vehicle lease contracts originated by
Toyota and Lexus dealers. TMCC assumes ownership of the leased vehicles and
is generally permitted to take possession of vehicles upon lessee default.
TMCC is responsible for contract collection and administration during the
lease period and for the value of the vehicle at lease maturity if the vehicle


-2-









is not purchased by the lessee or dealer. Off-lease vehicles returned to TMCC
are sold through a network of auction sites located throughout the United
States. TMCC requires lessees to carry fire, theft, collision and liability
insurance on leased vehicles covering the interests of both TMCC and the
lessee. In recent years, TMS has sponsored special lease programs by
supporting reduced lease rates. Leasing revenues contributed 82%, 78% and 71%
to total financing revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Retail Financing

TMCC purchases primarily new and used vehicle installment contracts from
Toyota and Lexus dealers. These obligations must first meet TMCC's credit
standards and thereafter TMCC retains responsibility for contract collection
and administration. TMCC acquires security interests in the vehicles financed
and generally can repossess vehicles if customers fail to meet contract
obligations. Substantially all of TMCC's retail financings are non-recourse
which relieves the dealers from financial responsibility in the event of
repossession. TMCC requires retail financing customers to carry fire, theft
and collision insurance on financed vehicles covering the interests of both
TMCC and the customer. In recent years, TMS has sponsored special retail
programs by supporting reduced interest rates. Retail financing revenues
contributed 14%, 18% and 24% to total financing revenues for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

A summary of vehicle retail leasing and financing activity follows:

Wholesale Financing

TMCC provides wholesale financing primarily to qualified Toyota and Lexus
dealers to finance inventories of new and used Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
TMCC acquires security interests in vehicles financed at wholesale, and
substantially all such financings are backed by corporate or individual
guarantees from or on behalf of participating dealers. In the event of dealer
default, TMCC has the right to liquidate any assets acquired and seek legal
remedies pursuant to the guarantees. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, TMS
will arrange for the repurchase of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles financed at
wholesale by TMCC at the aggregate cost financed in the event of dealer
default.

A summary of vehicle wholesale financing activity follows:



Years Ended September 30,
------------------------------------------------
1996 1995 1994 1993 1992
-------- -------- -------- -------- --------

Dealer loans ($Millions)....... $8,017 $7,626 $7,055 $6,378 $4,903

Average amount financed
per vehicle................. $19,926 $18,999 $17,530 $16,500 $15,400


TMCC also makes term loans to dealers for business acquisitions, facilities
refurbishing, real estate purchases and working capital. These loans are
typically secured with liens on real estate, other dealership assets and/or
personal guarantees of the dealers. Wholesale and other dealer financing
revenues contributed 4%, 4% and 5% to total financing revenues for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Insurance

TMCC's insurance subsidiaries provide certain insurance services along with
certain insurance and contractual coverages in connection with the sale and
lease of vehicles. In addition, the insurance subsidiaries insure and
reinsure certain TMS and TMCC risks.

Servicing

TMCC services retail installment obligations which have been sold to third
parties through its asset-backed securities program.

Funding

Funding to support the Company's level of earning assets is provided by access
to the capital markets as well as earning asset liquidations and funds
provided by operating activities. Debt issuances have generally been in the
form of commercial paper, United States and Euro medium-term notes, Eurobonds
and to a lesser extent, the sale of retail finance receivables.



-4-










The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage
interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. The derivative instruments
utilized include cross currency and interest rate swap agreements, indexed
note swaps and option-based products. The Company does not use any of these
instruments for trading purposes.

Competition and Government Regulations

TMCC's primary competitors for retail leasing and financing are commercial
banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies and
other captive automobile finance companies. Commercial banks and other
captive automobile finance companies also provide wholesale financing for
Toyota and Lexus dealers. TMCC's strategy is to supplement, with competitive
financing programs, the overall commitment of TMS to offer a complete package
of services to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers and their customers.

The finance and insurance operations of the Company are regulated under both
federal and state law. A majority of the states have enacted legislation
establishing licensing requirements to conduct retail and other finance and
insurance activities. Most states also impose limits on the maximum rate of
finance charges. In certain states, the margin between the present statutory
maximum interest rates and borrowing costs is sufficiently narrow that, in
periods of rapidly increasing or high interest rates, there could be an
adverse effect on the Company's operations in these states if the Company is
unable to pass on the increased interest costs to its customers.

The Company's operations are also subject to regulation under federal and
state consumer protection statutes. The Company continually reviews its
operations to comply with applicable law. Future administrative rulings,
judicial decisions and legislation in this area may require modification of
the Company's business practices and documentation.

Employee Relations

At November 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 2,090 full-time employees.
The Company considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

TMS was established in 1957 and as of September 30, 1996 is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Toyota Motor North America, Inc. ("TMA"). TMS is primarily
engaged in the wholesale distribution of automobiles, light trucks, industrial
equipment and related replacement parts and accessories throughout the United
States (excluding Hawaii). Additionally, TMS exports automobiles and related
replacement parts and accessories to Europe, Asia and United States
territories. Through September 30, 1996, TMS manufactured certain automobiles
through Toyota Motor Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc., and manufactured trucks
through Toyota Auto Body Corporation, Inc. ("TABC"), a wholly owned
subsidiary. Effective October 1, 1996, Toyota Motor Manufacturing North
America, Inc. ("TMMNA") was established to serve as the holding company for
all manufacturing operations in the United States and to coordinate and
support numerous manufacturing related administrative functions previously
carried out independently by various Toyota entities in North America and by
Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC") in Japan. Both TMMNA and TMS are wholly-
owned subsidiaries of TMA, a holding company owned 100% by TMC which was
established on September 3, 1996.

TMS's corporate headquarters are in Torrance, California, and TMS has port
facilities, regional sales offices and parts distribution centers at other
locations in the United States. Toyota vehicles are distributed throughout
the United States in twelve regions, ten of which are operated by or through
TMS. The remaining two regions are serviced by private distributors which
purchase directly from TMS and distribute to Toyota dealers within their
respective regions. For the year ended September 30, 1996, these two
distributors, Gulf States Toyota, Inc. of Houston, Texas and Southeast Toyota
Distributors, Inc. of Deerfield Beach, Florida, accounted for approximately
32% of the Toyota vehicles sold in the United States (excluding Hawaii).
Lexus vehicles are directly distributed by TMS to Lexus dealers throughout the
United States (excluding Hawaii).

For the year ended September 30, 1996, TMS sold approximately 1,109,000
automobiles and light trucks in the United States (excluding Hawaii), of which
approximately 682,000 were manufactured in the United States; TMS exported
approximately 62,000 automobiles. TMS sales represented approximately 27% of
TMC's worldwide sales volume for the year ended March 31, 1996. For the years
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, Toyota and Lexus vehicles accounted for
approximately 7.5% and 7.2%, respectively, of all retail automobile and light
truck sales in the United States.

Total revenues for TMS for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and
1994, aggregated approximately $27.5 billion, $26.2 billion and $23.3 billion,
respectively, of which approximately $24.4 billion, $23.7 billion and $21.5
billion, respectively, were attributable to revenues other than those
associated with financial services. At September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, TMS
had total assets of approximately $25.1 billion, $21.1 billion and $19.5
billion, respectively, and net worth in excess of $4.7 billion, $4.6 billion
and $4.3 billion, respectively. TMS had net income of $229 million for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 and net income in excess of $250 million
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was computed by dividing (i) the
sum of income before income taxes and fixed charges by (ii) fixed
charges. Fixed charges consist primarily of interest expense net of
the effect of noninterest-bearing advances. The ratio of earnings to
fixed charges for TMS and subsidiaries was 1.49, 1.74, 1.90, 2.07 and
1.83 for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. In March 1987, TMCC guaranteed payments of principal and
interest on $58 million principal amount of bonds issued in connection
with the Kentucky manufacturing facility of an affiliate. As of
September 30, 1996, TMCC has not incurred any fixed charges in
connection with such guarantee and no amount is included in any ratio
of earnings to fixed charges.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The composition of TMCC's net earning assets as of the balance sheet dates
reported herein and TMCC's vehicle lease and retail contract volumes and
finance penetration for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and
1994 are summarized below:



September 30, September 30,
1996 1995
------------- -------------
(Dollars in Millions)

Lease earning assets, net................ $12,194 $ 9,533
Retail finance receivables, net.......... 5,288 4,784

Contract volume:

Vehicle retail installment contracts.. 229,000 170,000 210,000
------- ------- -------
Total.................................... 505,000 349,000 414,000
======= ======= =======

Finance penetration...................... 41.2% 31.8% 36.7%



TMCC's net earning assets as of September 30, 1996 increased from
September 30, 1995 primarily due to growth in lease earning assets. Lease
earning assets, consisting of investments in operating leases, net of
accumulated depreciation, and lease finance receivables, net of unearned
income, increased in fiscal 1996 from fiscal 1995 due to higher lease volume
attributable to special lease programs sponsored by TMS and the increased
acceptance of leasing by retail consumers.

TMS sponsors special lease and retail programs which allow TMCC to offer
reduced monthly payments on certain Toyota and Lexus new vehicles and Toyota
industrial equipment to qualified lease and retail customers. Support amounts


-10-









received from TMS approximate the balances required by TMCC to maintain
revenues at standard program levels and are earned over the expected lease and
retail installment contract terms. The level of sponsored program activity
varies based on TMS marketing strategies and revenues earned vary based on the
mix of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, timing of programs and the level of support
provided. TMCC's revenues earned from TMS sponsored special lease and retail
programs totaled $174 million, $134 million and $54 million for fiscal years
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

TMCC is subject to residual value risk related to all outstanding lease
contracts. TMCC's residual value risk is a function of the number of off-
lease vehicles returned for disposition, and the difference between the amount
of disposition proceeds and the estimated residual value on returned vehicles.
Residual value losses incurred by TMCC in each of the three years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 have not had a material adverse impact on
operations. TMCC actively manages disposition of its lease vehicles by
working with lessees, dealers and auctions through end-of-lease-term
remarketing programs. In addition, returned lease vehicles are inspected and
lessees are charged for excess wear and tear, excess mileage and any damage
to the vehicles. Unguaranteed residual values related to outstanding lease
contracts totaled approximately $8.8 billion and $6.6 billion at September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The percentage of lease vehicles returned to
TMCC which were originally scheduled to mature in the following periods were
14%, 11% and 12% for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As the lease
portfolio matures, the Company anticipates that the level of vehicle lease
returns will increase; however, the Company believes that its lease earning
assets are recorded at net realizable value.

Retail finance receivables, net of unearned income, increased in fiscal 1996
from fiscal 1995 due to higher contract volume reflecting increased special
retail programs sponsored by TMS as well as increased average advances per
retail contract.

TMCC's finance penetration represents the percentage of new Toyota and Lexus
vehicle deliveries (excluding fleet) in the United States (excluding Hawaii)
leased or financed by TMCC. Increased penetration for fiscal 1996 as compared
with fiscal 1995 reflects increased volume primarily attributable to a higher
level of TMS sponsored special lease programs. The decline in finance
penetration from fiscal 1994 to 1995 reflects reduced contract volumes
attributable primarily to lower levels of TMS sponsored special lease programs
in fiscal 1995 as well as increased competition in retail financing.

TMCC's total financing revenues increased 21% in fiscal 1996 and 42% in fiscal
1995. The increase in fiscal 1996 reflects growth in operating lease revenues
due to continued growth in market acceptability of leasing as well as TMS
sponsored special lease programs, partially offset by reduced retail financing
and wholesale revenues. Retail financing revenues declined as a result of
reduced average retail receivables outstanding in fiscal 1996 as compared with
fiscal 1995 due to the sale of retail receivables in September 1995 and July
1996. Decline in wholesale revenues reflects reduced financing rates as well
as increased turnover of units financed. The increase in fiscal 1995 revenues
reflects primarily growth in operating lease revenues as well as growth in
retail financing and wholesale revenues.


-11-










Depreciation expense increased 32% and 68% in fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively, primarily as a result of the growth in investments in operating
leases.

Interest expense increased 15% and 47% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The increases in fiscal 1996 and 1995 reflect higher average borrowings
outstanding required to fund the growth in earning assets and an increase in
the average cost of borrowings. The weighted average cost of borrowings was
5.90%, 5.78% and 4.94% for the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Other revenues increased 20% and 19% in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The increases in other revenues for fiscal 1996 and 1995 reflect growth in the
Company's insurance operations and increased servicing and other income
related to retail receivables sold.

Operating and administrative expenses increased 15% and 10% in fiscal 1996 and
1995, respectively. The increases reflect primarily additional personnel and
operating costs required to support TMCC's growing customer base as well as
growth in the Company's insurance operations.














-12-










The provision for credit losses increased 74% and decreased 15% during fiscal
1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. The increase in fiscal 1996 was primarily
related to the substantial growth in earning assets as well as less favorable
credit loss experience. The decrease in fiscal 1995 reflects a decline in the
level of earning asset growth and a reduction in allowance levels due to
changes in the mix of earning assets and TMCC's favorable credit loss
experience. TMCC will continue to monitor loss levels and place emphasis on
its credit loss exposure.

An analysis of credit losses and the related allowance follows (certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period
presentation):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires, in the normal course of business, substantial funding
to support the level of its earning assets. Significant reliance is placed
on the Company's ability to obtain debt funding in the capital markets in
addition to funding provided by earning asset liquidations and cash provided
by operating activities. Debt issuances have generally been in the form of
commercial paper, United States and Euro medium-term notes ("MTNs"), Eurobonds
and to a lesser extent, the sale of retail finance receivables in the asset-
backed securities market. On occasion, this funding has been supplemented by
loans and equity contributions from TMS.

Commercial paper issuances are utilized to meet short-term funding needs.
Commercial paper outstanding under TMCC's commercial paper program ranged from
approximately $1.1 billion to $3.2 billion during fiscal 1996. For additional
liquidity purposes, TMCC maintains syndicated bank credit facilities with
certain banks which aggregated $2.0 billion at September 30, 1996. No loans
were outstanding under any of these bank credit facilities during fiscal 1996.
TMCC also maintains, along with TMS, uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit
with banks totaling $250 million to facilitate the issuance of letters of
credit. At September 30, 1996, TMCC had issued approximately $44 million in
letters of credit, primarily related to the Company's insurance operations.

Long-term funding requirements are met through the issuance of a variety of
debt securities underwritten in both the United States and international
capital markets. United States and Euro MTNs with original maturities ranging
from one to eleven years have provided TMCC with a significant source of
funding. During fiscal 1996, TMCC issued approximately $4.7 billion of MTNs
of which approximately $4.1 billion had original maturities of more than one
year. TMCC had approximately $10.1 billion of MTNs outstanding at
September 30, 1996 including the effect of foreign currency translations at
September 30, 1996 spot exchange rates; approximately $4.0 billion of the
$10.1 billion in MTNs was denominated in foreign currencies. In addition to
MTNs, TMCC had approximately $2.6 billion of debt securities outstanding
issued principally in the form of Eurobonds in the international capital
markets at September 30, 1996, including the effect of foreign currency
translations at September 30, 1996 spot exchange rates; approximately $2.1
billion of the $2.6 billion in debt securities was denominated in foreign
currencies.

TMCC anticipates continued use of MTNs in both the United States and
international capital markets. At November 30, 1996, approximately
$780 million was available for issuance under TMCC's United States public MTN
program, none of which was committed for issue by the Company. The maximum
aggregate principal amount authorized to be outstanding at any time under
TMCC's Euro MTN program is $12.0 billion, which was increased in July 1996
from the prior maximum of $9.5 billion. Approximately $2.3 billion was
available for issuance under the Euro MTN program as of November 30, 1996, of
which the Company has committed to issue approximately $250 million. The
United States and Euro MTN programs may be expanded from time to time to allow
for the continued use of these sources of funding. In addition, approximately
$700 million of securities registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, excluding MTNs, were available for issuance at November 30, 1996.

In July 1996, TMCC's shelf registration statement relating to $1.5 billion of
asset-backed notes and certificates was declared effective by the SEC. On
July 24, 1996, TMCC received proceeds of approximately $754 million from the


-14-









sale of a pool of retail receivables and the related offering of certificates
backed by such receivables. Approximately $750 million under the shelf
registration remains available for issuance as of November 30, 1996. The
Company's sale of finance receivables is discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 1, 1996 Toyota Lease Trust ("TLT") was created as a Delaware
business trust for the purpose of titling leases, originated in certain
states, in connection with development of a lease securitization program.
TMCC anticipates its first lease securitization to occur in fiscal 1997.

TMCC utilizes a variety of interest rate and currency derivative financial
instruments to manage interest rate and foreign exchange exposures. The
derivative instruments utilized include cross currency and interest rate
swaps, indexed note swaps and option-based products. TMCC does not use any
of these instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments utilized by TMCC involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit risk in the event a counterparty should default and market
risk as the instruments are subject to rate and price fluctuations. Credit
risk is managed through the use of credit standard guidelines, counterparty
diversification, monitoring of counterparty financial condition and master
netting agreements in place with all derivative counterparties. Market risk
is limited to interest rate risk as foreign currency denominated instruments
are entirely hedged. TMCC uses a value-at-risk methodology, in connection
with other management tools, to assess and manage the interest rate risk of
aggregated loan and lease assets and financial liabilities, including
derivatives and option-based products.

The total notional amount of TMCC's derivative financial instruments at
September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $20.5 billion and $17.4 billion, respectively.
The notional amounts of interest rate and indexed note swap agreements and
option-based products do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and,
thus, are not a measure of the Company's exposure through its use of
derivatives.

Descriptions of derivative instruments utilized and risk management procedures
as well as a reconciliation of the Company's derivative activities for the
years ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are included in Note 11 of the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On occasion, TMS has made equity contributions to maintain TMCC's equity
capitalization at certain levels. During the year ended September 30, 1996,
TMS made an equity contribution to TMCC by purchasing, at par value, newly
issued shares of TMCC's capital stock in the amount of $50 million. No equity
contributions were made during fiscal 1995. Also, on occasion, TMS makes
interest-bearing loans to TMCC. There were no loans from TMS during fiscal
1996.

Cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities have been
used primarily to support earning asset growth. Cash provided by the
liquidation of earning assets, totaling $13.6 billion and $11.9 billion during
fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, was used to purchase additional
investments in operating leases and finance receivables, totaling $19.2
billion and $15.1 billion during fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Investing activities resulted in a net use of cash of $4.8 billion and
$2.7 billion in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively, as the purchase of


-15-









additional earning assets, primarily investments in operating leases, exceeded
cash provided by the liquidation of earning assets. Net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $2.3 billion and $2.0 billion during fiscal 1996
and 1995, respectively, and net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$2.6 billion and $0.7 billion, during fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company believes that cash provided by operating and investing activities as
well as access to domestic and international capital markets and issuance of
commercial paper will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its future funding
requirements.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The foregoing Business description and Management's Discussion and Analysis
contain various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations
or beliefs concerning future events, including the following: potential
adverse effect on the Company's operations as a result of governmental
regulations; that the Company considers its employee relations to be
satisfactory; the level of lease vehicle returns; that the lease earning
assets on the Company's books are recorded at net realizable value; that the
ultimate liability resulting from pending claims and actions should not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations; the Company's continued use of MTNs in the United
States and the international capital markets; that the first lease
securitization is expected in fiscal 1997; the sufficiency of the Company's
cash provided by operating, investing and financing activities for the
Company's future liquidity and capital resource needs. The Company cautions
that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking
statements, including, without limitation, the following: decline in demand
for Toyota and Lexus products; the effect of economic conditions; a decline
in the market acceptability of leasing; the effect of competitive pricing on
interest margins; increases in prevailing interest rates; changes in pricing
due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the United States dollar;
the effect of governmental actions; the effect of competitive pressures on the
used car market and residual values; the continuation of, and if continued,
the level and type of special programs offered by TMS; the ability of the
Company to successfully access the United States and international capital
markets; increased costs associated with the Company's debt funding efforts;
and the ability of the Company's counterparties to perform under interest rate
and cross currency swap agreements. Results actually achieved thus may differ
materially from expected results included in these statements.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("Statement No. 121"). Statement No. 121
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be
held and used and long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be disposed of. Statement No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition,


-16-









Statement No. 121 requires that certain long-lived assets and intangibles to
be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell. Statement No. 121 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. The Company has not determined the impact that the
adoption of this accounting standard will have on its financial position or
results of operations. The Company plans to adopt Statement No. 121 in the
first interim period of fiscal 1997.

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", effective for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996. The Company will adopt this Standard during fiscal
1997, as required. Adoption of this Standard is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Nature of Operations
- -----------------------------

Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") provides retail and wholesale
financing, retail leasing and certain other financial services to
authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota industrial equipment
dealers and their customers in the United States (excluding Hawaii).
TMCC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
("TMS" or the "Parent"). TMS is primarily engaged in the wholesale
distribution of automobiles, trucks, industrial equipment and related
replacement parts and accessories throughout the United States
(excluding Hawaii). Substantially all of TMS's products are purchased
from Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC") or its affiliates. TMC
restructured its North American organizations with the establishment of
Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America, Inc. ("TMMNA") on October 1,
1996. TMMNA functions to coordinate and support numerous manufacturing
related administrative functions previously carried out independently
by various Toyota entities in North America and by TMC in Japan. Both
TMMNA and TMS are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Toyota Motor North
America, Inc., a holding company owned 100% by TMC which was
established on September 3, 1996.

TMCC has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, Toyota Motor Insurance
Services, Inc. ("TMIS"), Toyota Motor Insurance Corporation of Vermont
("TMICV"), Toyota Motor Insurance Company ("TMIC"), Toyota Motor Life
Insurance Company ("TLIC"), Toyota Motor Credit Receivables Corporation
("TMCRC") and Toyota Credit De Puerto Rico Corp. ("TCPR"). TMCC and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
"Company". The insurance subsidiaries provide certain insurance
services along with certain insurance and contractual coverages in
connection with the sale and lease of vehicles. In addition, the
insurance subsidiaries insure and reinsure certain TMS and TMCC risks.
TMCRC, a limited purpose subsidiary, was formed in June 1993 primarily
to acquire retail finance receivables from TMCC for the purpose of
securitizing such receivables. TCPR was established in January 1996 to
provide retail and wholesale financing and certain other financial
services to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers and their
customers in Puerto Rico; TCPR commenced operations in October 1996.

The Company's business is substantially dependent upon the sale of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. Changes in the volume
of sales of such vehicles resulting from governmental action, changes
in consumer demand, changes in pricing of imported units due to
currency fluctuations, or other events could impact the level of
finance and insurance operations of the Company.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------

Use of Estimates
----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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.

Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TMCC and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition
-------------------

Revenue from retail financing contracts and finance leases is
recognized using the effective yield method. Revenue from operating
leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------

Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of money market instruments and
debt securities, represent highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.

Investments in Marketable Securities
------------------------------------

Investments in marketable securities consist of debt and equity
securities. Debt securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried
at amortized cost and are reduced to net realizable value for other
than temporary declines in market value. Debt and equity securities
designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses included in shareholder's equity, net of
applicable taxes. Realized investment gains and losses, which are
determined on the specific identification method, are reflected in
income.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------


Investments in Operating Leases
-------------------------------

TMCC acquires retail leases from Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota
industrial equipment dealers. TMCC is also the lessor on certain
property that it acquires directly. Investments in operating leases
are recorded at cost and depreciated, primarily on a straight-line
basis, over the lease term to the estimated residual value. Gains or
losses on disposal and adjustments to the residual value of underlying
assets are also included in Depreciation Expense.

Allowance for Credit Losses
---------------------------

Allowances for credit losses are established during the period in which
receivables are acquired and are maintained in amounts considered by
management to be appropriate in relation to receivables outstanding
based upon historical loss experience and other factors. Losses are
charged to the allowance for credit losses when it has been determined
that collateral cannot be recovered and any shortfall between proceeds
received and carrying cost of repossessed collateral is charged to the
allowance. Recoveries are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Deferred Charges
----------------

Deferred charges consist primarily of premiums paid for option-based
products, underwriters' commissions and other debt issuance costs
which are amortized to Interest Expense over the life of the related
instruments on a straight-line basis.


Insurance Operations
--------------------

Revenues from insurance premiums and from providing coverage under
various contractual agreements are earned over the terms of the
respective policies and agreements in proportion to estimated claims
activity. Certain costs of acquiring new business, consisting
primarily of commissions and premium taxes, are deferred and amortized
over the terms of the related policies on the same basis as revenues
are earned. The liability for reported losses and the estimate of
unreported losses is recorded in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses.
Commission and fee income are recognized in relation to the level of
services performed.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
-----------------------------

TMCC utilizes interest rate swap agreements in managing its exposure to
interest rate risk. Interest rate swap agreements are executed as an
integral part of specific debt transactions or on a portfolio basis.
The differential paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is
recorded as an adjustment to Interest Expense over the term of the
agreements.

Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements
--------------------------------------------

TMCC's senior debt issued in foreign currencies is hedged by
concurrently executed cross currency interest rate swap agreements
which involve the exchange of foreign currency principal and interest
obligations for U.S. dollar principal and interest obligations. TMCC's
foreign currency debt is translated into U.S. dollars in the financial
statements at the various foreign currency spot exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet date. The receivables or payables,
reflecting the differences between the September 30, 1996 foreign
currency spot exchange rates and the contract rates applicable to the
cross currency interest rate swap agreements, are classified in Other
Receivables or Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, respectively.

Income Taxes
------------

TMCC uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under
which deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect
changes in tax rates and laws in the period such changes are enacted
resulting in adjustments to the current period's income statement.

The Company joins with TMS in filing consolidated federal income tax
returns and combined or consolidated income tax returns in certain
states. Federal and state income tax is provided on a separate return
basis. Prior to October 1, 1994, for states where a combined or
consolidated income tax return was filed, state income taxes were
allocated to the Company by TMS based upon the Company's apportionment
factors and income in those states. There was no material effect to
the financial position or results of operations as a result of the
change in the method of allocating state income taxes.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities" ("Statement No. 115"). Statement No. 115
addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in all debt
securities and for investments in equity securities that have readily
determinable fair values. The fair value of securities was estimated

Note 6 - Sale of Finance Receivables
- ------------------------------------

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued Statement
of Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities",
effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996. The
Company will adopt this Standard during fiscal 1997, as required.
Adoption of this Standard is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's results of operations and financial position.

In the fourth quarters of fiscal 1996 and 1995, the Company sold retail
finance receivables aggregating $782 million and $679 million,
respectively, subject to certain limited recourse provisions. In each
case, TMCC sold its receivables to TMCRC which in turn sold them to a
trust; TMCC remains as servicer and is paid a servicing fee. In a
subordinated capacity, TMCRC retains excess servicing cash flows,
certain cash deposits and, in connection with the fiscal 1993 sale of
finance receivables, a limited interest in the trust. TMCRC's
subordinated interests in excess servicing cash flows, cash deposits,
limited interest in the 1993 trust and other related amounts are held
as restricted assets which are subject to limited recourse provisions.
These restricted assets are not available to satisfy any obligations of
TMCC. Following is a summary of amounts included in Other Receivables:

The pretax gain resulting from the sale of finance receivables totaled
$15 million and $11 million in fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively,
after providing for an allowance for estimated credit losses. In
addition to the above described transactions, in August 1996 TMCC sold
approximately $150 million of retail finance receivables to World Omni
Retail Funding Inc. in exchange for an interest bearing certificate
secured by a 100% interest in the same receivables.

The outstanding balance of the sold finance receivables which TMCC
continues to service at September 30, 1996 and 1995 totaled $1.1
billion and $762 million, respectively.

Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" ("Statement
No. 118"). The Statements apply to loans individually evaluated for
impairment and do not apply to portfolios of small dollar homogenous
loans, such as retail finance receivables, which are collectively
evaluated for impairment. The amount of impaired loans and related
allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 1996 is not material.

Note 8 - Transactions with Parent
- ---------------------------------

An operating agreement with TMS (the "Operating Agreement") provides
that 100% ownership of TMCC will be retained by TMS as long as TMCC has
any funded debt outstanding and that TMS will provide necessary equity
contributions or other financial assistance it deems appropriate to
ensure that TMCC maintains a minimum coverage on fixed charges of 1.10
times such charges in any fiscal quarter. To maintain TMCC's minimum
coverage pursuant to the Operating Agreement, TMS has made noninterest-
bearing advances and income maintenance payments to TMCC though no such
advances were made in fiscal 1996, 1995 or 1994. The coverage
provision of the Operating Agreement is solely for the benefit of the
holders of TMCC's commercial paper and the Operating Agreement may be
amended or terminated at any time without notice to, or the consent of,
holders of other TMCC obligations. The Operating Agreement does not
constitute a guarantee by TMS of any obligations of TMCC.

TMS provides certain technical and administrative services and incurs
certain expenses on the Company's behalf and, accordingly, allocates
these charges to the Company. The charges, reimbursed by TMCC to TMS,
totaled $12 million, $8 million and $7 million for the years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. TMS sponsors special
retail and lease programs offered by TMCC; for the years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, TMCC recognized revenue of
$174 million, $134 million and $54 million, respectively, related to
TMS sponsored programs.

TMCC has an arrangement to borrow and invest funds with TMS at short
term market rates. For the year ended September 30, 1996, TMCC had no
borrowings from TMS. For the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
the highest amounts of borrowings from TMS were $34 million and
$161 million, respectively; interest charges related to these
borrowings were immaterial. The Operating Agreement provides that
borrowings from TMS are subordinated to all other indebtedness of TMCC.
For the years September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the highest amounts of
funds invested with TMS were $224 million, $603 million and $326
million, respectively; interest earned on these investments totaled
$5 million, $16 million and $5 million for the years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company leases its headquarters facility from TMS; rent expense
paid to TMS for this facility totaled $3 million for each of the years
ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. TMCC leases a corporate
aircraft to TMS and provides wholesale financing for a TMS affiliate;
for each of the years ended September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, TMCC
recognized revenue of $3 million related to these arrangements.

TMIS and TMICV provide certain insurance services, and insurance and
reinsurance coverages, respectively, to TMS. Premiums, commissions and
fees earned on these services for the years ended September 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994 totaled $7 million, $4 million and $7 million,
respectively.

Short-term borrowings include commercial paper and certain medium-term
notes ("MTNs"). The weighted average remaining term of commercial
paper was 31 days and 27 days at September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate on commercial paper
was 5.41% and 6.53% at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Short-term MTNs with original terms of one year or less, included in
other senior debt, were $559 million and $444 million at September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on
these short-term MTNs was 5.19% and 5.86% at September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, including the effect of interest rate swap
agreements.

The weighted average interest rate on other senior debt was 5.98% and
5.75% at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, including the
effect of interest rate swap agreements and option-based products. The
rates have been calculated using rates in effect at September 30, 1996
and 1995, some of which are floating rates that reset daily.
Approximately 24% of other senior debt at September 30, 1996 had

average of these fixed interest rates was 5.83% at September 30, 1996.
Approximately 49% of other senior debt at September 30, 1996 had
floating interest rates that were covered by option-based products. The
weighted average strike rate on these option-based products was 6.18%
at September 30, 1996. TMCC manages interest rate risk via continuous
adjustment of the mix of fixed and floating rate debt through use of
interest rate swap agreements and option-based products.

Included in Notes and Loans Payable at September 30, 1996 and 1995 were
unsecured notes denominated in various foreign currencies as follows:

Concurrent with the issuance of these unsecured notes, TMCC entered
into cross currency interest rate swap agreements to convert these
obligations at maturity into U.S. dollar obligations which in aggregate
total a principal amount of $6.2 billion. TMCC's foreign currency debt
was translated into U.S. dollars in the financial statements at the
various foreign currency spot exchange rates in effect at September 30,
1996. The receivables or payables arising as a result of the
differences between the September 30, 1996 foreign currency spot
exchange rates and the contract rates applicable to the cross currency
interest rate swap agreements are classified in Other Receivables or
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, respectively, and would in
aggregate total a net payable position of $171 million at
September 30, 1996.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information
available to management as of September 30, 1996 and 1995. Although
the Company is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect
the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been
comprehensively reevaluated for purposes of these financial statements
since September 30, 1996 and 1995 and, therefore, current estimates of
fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of
financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates market
value due to the short maturity of these investments.

Investments in Marketable Securities
------------------------------------

The fair value of marketable securities was estimated using quoted
market prices or discounted cash flow analysis.

Retail Finance Receivables

The carrying amounts of $900 million and $1.1 billion of variable rate
finance receivables at September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were
assumed to approximate fair value as these receivables reprice at
prevailing market rates. The fair value of fixed rate finance
receivables was estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the
rates at which loans of similar credit quality and maturity would be
made as of September 30, 1996 and 1995.

Other Receivables
-----------------

The carrying amount and fair value of other receivables are presented
separately from the receivables arising from cross currency interest
rate swap agreements. The fair value of amounts associated with the
sale of finance receivables was estimated by discounting expected cash
flows using quoted market interest rates as of September 30, 1996 and
1995. The carrying amount of the remaining other receivables
approximate market value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.

Notes and Loans Payable

The fair value of notes and loans payable was estimated by discounting
expected cash flows using the interest rates at which debt of similar
credit quality and maturity would be made as of September 30, 1996 and

Interest Rate Risk Management
-----------------------------

TMCC utilizes interest rate swap agreements in managing its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate swap agreements are executed
as an integral part of specific debt transactions or on a portfolio
basis. TMCC's interest rate swap agreements involve agreements to pay
fixed and receive a floating rate, or receive fixed and pay a floating
rate, at specified intervals, calculated on an agreed-upon notional
amount. Interest rate swap agreements may also involve basis swap
contracts which are agreements to exchange the difference between
certain floating interest amounts, such as the net payment based on the
commercial paper rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"),
calculated on an agreed-upon notional amount. The original maturities
of the interest rate swap agreements ranged from one to ten years at
September 30, 1996.

TMCC also utilizes option-based products in managing its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. Option-based products are executed on a
portfolio basis and consist primarily of purchased interest rate cap
agreements and to a lesser extent corridor agreements. Option-based
products are agreements which either grant TMCC the right to receive or
require TMCC to make payments at specified interest rate levels.
Approximately 49% of TMCC's other senior debt at September 30, 1996 had
floating interest rates that were covered by option-based products
which had an average strike rate of 6.18%. The premiums paid for
option-based products are included in Deferred Charges and are
amortized to Interest Expense over the life of the instruments on a
straight-line basis. Amounts receivable under option-based products
are recorded as a reduction to Interest Expense. The original
maturities of the option-based products ranged from two to three years
at September 30, 1996.

TMCC utilizes indexed note swap agreements in managing its exposure in
connection with debt instruments whose interest rate and/or principal
redemption amounts are derived from other underlying instruments.
Indexed note swap agreements involve agreements to receive interest
and/or principal amounts associated with the indexed notes, denominated
in either U.S. dollars or a foreign currency, and to pay fixed or
floating rates on fixed U.S. dollar liabilities. At September 30,
1996, TMCC was the counterparty to $1.9 billion of indexed note swap
agreements, of which $0.6 billion was denominated in foreign currencies
and $1.3 billion was denominated in U.S. dollars. At September 30,
1995, TMCC was the counterparty to $1.7 billion of indexed note swap
agreements, of which $0.7 billion was denominated in foreign currencies
and $1.0 billion was denominated in U.S. dollars. The original
maturities of the indexed note swap agreements ranged from one to
eleven years at September 30, 1996.

The notional amounts of interest rate and indexed note swap agreements
and option-based products do not represent amounts exchanged by the
parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's exposure through
its use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are calculated based on
the notional amounts and other terms of the derivatives which relate to
interest rates or financial or other indexes.

- -----------------------------------------------------------


Foreign Exchange Risk Management
--------------------------------

TMCC utilizes cross currency interest rate swap agreements to manage
exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on principal and interest
payments for borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. Notes and
loans payable issued in foreign currencies are hedged by concurrently
executed cross currency interest rate swap agreements which involve the
exchange of foreign currency principal and interest obligations for
U.S. dollar obligations at agreed-upon currency exchange and interest
rates. The aggregate notional amounts of cross currency interest rate
swap agreements at September 30, 1996 and 1995 were $5.6 billion and
$4.8 billion, respectively. The original maturities of the cross
currency interest rate swap agreements ranged from one to ten years at
September 30, 1996.

Credit Risk Management
----------------------

TMCC manages the risk of counterparty default through the use of credit
standard guidelines, counterparty diversification and monitoring of
counterparty financial condition. At September 30, 1996, approximately
80% of TMCC's derivative financial instruments, based on notional
amounts, were with commercial banks and investment banking firms
assigned investment grade ratings of "AA" or better by national rating
agencies. TMCC does not anticipate non-performance by any of its
counterparties and has no reserves related to non-performance as of
September 30, 1996; TMCC has not experienced any counterparty default
during the three years ended September 30, 1996. Additionally, TMCC's
loss in the event of counterparty default is partially mitigated as a
result of master netting agreements in place with all derivative
counterparties which allow the net difference between TMCC and each
counterparty to be exchanged in the event of default.

Credit exposure of derivative financial instruments is represented by
the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at September 30,
1996 reduced by the effects of master netting agreements. The credit
exposure of TMCC's derivative financial instruments at September 30,
1996 was $205 million on an aggregate notional amount of $20.5 billion.

Note 11 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk (Continued)
- -----------------------------------------------------------

Market Risk
-----------

TMCC's loan and lease portfolios consist of a series of contractually
defined cash flows over the life of the portfolios. The value to TMCC
of the cash flows changes as market interest rates change. TMCC's
asset portfolios are funded by various debt instruments whose cash
flows are modified or hedged by a variety of derivative and option-
based products. The value of TMCC's liability and derivative cash
flows also change as market interest rates change.

TMCC uses a value-at-risk methodology, in connection with other
management tools, to assess the interest rate risk of aggregated loan
and lease assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives and
option based products. TMCC is not subject to currency exchange rate
risk as foreign currency denominated instruments are entirely hedged.
Value-at-risk represents the potential losses for a portfolio from
adverse changes in market factors for a specified period of time and
level of confidence. TMCC estimates value-at-risk using historical
interest rate volatilities for the past two years. The value at risk
of TMCC's portfolio as of September 30, 1996, measured as the potential
30 day loss in value from assumed adverse changes in interest rates
that are estimated to cover 90% of likely market movements, totals
$45.6 million on a mean portfolio value of $3.8 billion; alternatively,
the value at risk represents 1.2% of the mean portfolio value.

As of September 30, 1996, an interest rate increase of 1% (100 basis
points) would raise TMCC's weighted average interest rate, including
the effects of interest rate swap agreements and option-based products,
by .30%, from 5.80% to an estimated 6.10% at September 30, 1996.
Conversely, an interest rate decrease of 1% (100 basis points) would
lower TMCC's weighted average interest rate, including the effects of
interest rate swap agreements and option based products, by .43%, from
5.80% to an estimated 5.37% at September 30, 1996.

Note 12 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans
- -----------------------------------------

All full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate in
the TMS pension plan commencing on the first day of the month following
hire. Benefits payable under this non-contributory defined benefit
pension plan are based upon the employees' years of credited service
and the highest sixty consecutive months' compensation, reduced by a
percentage of social security benefits. For the years ended
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company's pension expense was
$4 million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively. At
September 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the accumulated benefit obligation
and plan net assets for employees of the Company were not determined
separately from TMS; however, the plan's net assets available for
benefits exceeded the accumulated benefit obligation. TMS funding
policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount deductible for
federal income tax purposes.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" ("Statement No. 112"). Statement No. 112 requires accrual,
during the years that the employee renders the necessary service or
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, of the expected
cost of providing postemployment benefits to former or inactive
employees, their beneficiaries, and covered dependents after employment
but before retirement. This method differs from the Company's previous
practice of accounting for these benefits on a cash basis. The
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was not
material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

To facilitate and maintain letters of credit, TMCC maintains, along
with TMS, uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit with banks totaling
$250 million as of September 30, 1996. Approximately $44 million in
letters of credit had been issued, primarily related to the Company's
insurance operations as of September 30, 1996, compared to $86 million
as of September 30, 1995. The letters of credit for the insurance
companies are used to satisfy requirements of certain insurance

Note 15 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
- ------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 1996, the Company was a lessee under lease agreements
for facilities with minimum future commitments as follows: years
ending September 30, 1997 - $9 million; 1998 - $8 million; 1999 -
$6 million; 2000 - $4 million; 2001 - $3 million; thereafter -
$3 million.

TMCC has guaranteed payments of principal and interest on $58 million
principal amount of flexible rate demand pollution control revenue
bonds maturing in 2006, issued in connection with the Kentucky
manufacturing facility of an affiliate.

Various legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims are
pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against TMCC and
its subsidiaries with respect to matters arising from the ordinary
course of business. Certain of these actions are or purport to be
class action suits, seeking sizeable damages. Certain of these actions
are similar to suits which have been filed against other financial
institutions and captive finance companies. The amounts of liability
on these claims and actions as of September 30, 1996 were not
determinable; however, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability resulting therefrom should not materially affect TMCC's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Principal Position Year Salary ($) Bonus ($) ($) Other ($)

Officer 1994 $199,800 $91,300 $7,000

Nobu Shigemi 1996 $316,000 $50,900 $51,700
Senior Vice President 1995 $199,000 $40,500 $47,300


- ------------
The amounts in this column represent housing allowances and relocation costs.
The amounts in this column represent the Company's allocated contribution under the TMS
Savings Plan (the "Plan"), a tax-qualified 401(k) Plan. Participants in the Plan may
elect, subject to applicable law, to contribute up to 6% of their base compensation on a
pre-tax basis to which the Company adds an amount equal to two-thirds of the employee's
contribution. Participants are vested 25% each year with respect to the Company's
contribution and are fully vested after four years. Subject to the limitations of the
Plan, employee and Company contributions are invested in various investment options at the
discretion of the employee. TMS also maintains a 401(k) Excess Plan, a non-qualified
deferred compensation plan which has similar provisions to the Saving Plan.



Employee Benefit Plan

All full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the TMS
Pension Plan commencing on the first day of the month following hire.
Benefits payable under this non-contributory defined benefit pension plan are
based upon final average compensation, final average bonus and years of
credited service. Final average compensation is defined as the average of the
participant's base rate of pay, plus overtime, during the highest-paid 60
consecutive months prior to the earlier of termination or normal retirement.
Final average bonus is defined as the highest average of the participant's
fiscal year bonus, and basic seniority-based cash bonus for non-managerial
personnel, over a period of 60 consecutive months prior to the earlier of
termination or normal retirement. A participant generally becomes eligible
for the normal retirement benefit at age 62, and may be eligible for early
retirement benefits starting at age 55.







-54-









The annual normal retirement benefit under the Pension Plan, payable monthly,
is an amount equal to the number of years of credited service (up to 25 years)
multiplied by the sum of (i) 2% of the participant's final average
compensation less 2% of the estimated annual Social Security benefit payable
to the participant at normal retirement and (ii) 1% of the participant's final
average bonus. The normal retirement benefit is subject to reduction for
certain benefits under any union-sponsored retirement plan and benefits
attributable to employer contributions under any defined-contribution
retirement plan maintained by TMS and its subsidiaries or any affiliate that
has been merged into the TMS Pension Plan.

The TMS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (TMS SERP) authorizes a benefit
to be paid to eligible executives, including Mr. Jahn. Benefits under the TMS
SERP, expressed as an annuity payable monthly, are based on 2% of the
executive's compensation recognized under the plan after deducting the
executive's primary Social Security benefit, multiplied by the years of
service credited under the plan (up to a maximum of 25), offset by benefits
payable under the TMS Pension Plan. A covered participant's compensation may
include base pay and a percentage (not in excess of 100%) of bonus pay,
depending on the executive's length of service in certain executive positions.
Similarly, years of service credited under the plan are determined by
reference, in part, to the executive's length of service in certain executive
positions. No benefit is payable under the TMS SERP to an executive unless
the executive's termination of employment occurs on a date, after the
executive reaches age 55, that is agreed in writing by the President of TMS
and the executive; and the executive is vested in benefits under the TMS
Pension Plan, or unless the executive accepts an invitation to retire extended
by the President of TMS.

The following pension plan table presents typical annual retirement benefits
under the TMS Pension Plan for various combinations of compensation and years
of credited service for participants who retire at age 62, assuming no final
average bonus and excluding Social Security offset amounts. The amounts are
subject to Federal statutory limitations governing pension calculations and
benefits.

Mr. Jahn is a participant in the TMS Pension Plan and the TMS SERP and has 23
years of total credited service as of September 30, 1996, 7 years of which
have been allocated to the Company. Based upon years of credited service

allocable to the Company, Mr. Jahn would be entitled to receive and the
Company would be required to pay approximately $26,000 in annual pension
benefits when Mr. Jahn reaches age 62. Mr. Jahn would also be entitled to
receive pension benefits from TMS based upon services to and compensation by
TMS.
