CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1--Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
CIT Group Inc. ("CIT" or "the Company"), formerly known as Tyco Capital
Corporation and previously The CIT Group, Inc., is a diversified finance company
engaging in vendor, equipment, commercial, consumer and structured financing and
leasing activities.
Basis of Presentation--These financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of
the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the transitional nine-month period
ended September 30, 2001. These financial statements have not been examined by
independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of CIT's
financial position and results of operations. Certain prior period amounts have
been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
On June 1, 2001, the Company was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco International Ltd. in a purchase business combination. Tyco International
Ltd. and its subsidiaries, excluding CIT and its subsidiaries, are referred to
herein as "Tyco." In accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business
combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus related purchase accounting
adjustments, were "pushed down" and recorded in CIT's financial statements for
the periods after June 1, 2001, resulting in a new basis of accounting for the
"successor" period beginning June 2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets
and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value in CIT's financial
statements. Any resulting premiums or discounts are being accreted or amortized
on a level yield basis over the remaining estimated lives of the corresponding
assets or liabilities. Information relating to all "predecessor" periods prior
to the acquisition is presented using CIT's historical basis of accounting. CIT
operated its businesses independently as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco (see Note 2).
Note 2--Acquisition by Tyco
The purchase price paid by Tyco for CIT and other consideration totaled
approximately $9.5 billion. The $9.5 billion value consisted of the following:
the issuance on June 1, 2001 of approximately 133.0 million Tyco common shares
valued at $6,650.5 million in exchange for approximately 73% of the outstanding
CIT common stock (including exchangeable shares of CIT Exchangeco, Inc.); the
payment on June 1, 2001 of $2,486.4 million in cash to The Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank,
Limited ("DKB") for approximately 27% of the outstanding CIT common stock; the
issuance of stock options for Tyco common shares valued at $318.6 million in
exchange for CIT stock options; and the payment of $29.2 million in
acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco. In addition, $22.3 million in
acquisition-related costs were incurred and paid by Tyco and have been reflected
in CIT's equity as an additional capital contribution. The purchase of the CIT
common stock held by DKB, which was contingent upon the satisfaction of the
conditions to the merger, took place on June 1, 2001 immediately prior to the
closing of the merger. Additionally, Tyco made capital contributions totaling
$898.1 million for the period June 2, 2001 through September 30, 2001, including
a note receivable of $200.0 million. There were no further capital contributions
from Tyco subsequent to September 30, 2001, although the $200.0 million note
receivable at September 30, 2001 relating to the prior fiscal year capital
contribution was paid by Tyco during the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
In connection with the acquisition by Tyco, CIT recorded acquired assets
and liabilities at their estimated fair values. Fair value estimates are subject
to future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are obtained or
when restructuring plans are committed to and finalized. All such additional
purchase accounting adjustments were finalized by March 31, 2002.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
There were no acquisition related adjustments recorded during the June
2002 quarter. However, during the nine months ended June 30, 2002, CIT recorded
additions to goodwill of $348.6 million. Goodwill adjustments relate to fair
value adjustments to purchased assets and liabilities, and accruals relating to
severance, facilities or other expenses incurred as a result of the purchase
transaction. The accruals of $79.1 million recorded during the six months ended
March 31, 2002 related to finalizing integration and consolidation plans for the
elimination of additional corporate administrative and other personnel located
primarily in North America and Europe. These accruals resulted in additional
purchase accounting liabilities, which also increased goodwill and deferred tax
assets.
The following table summarizes purchase accounting liabilities (pre-tax)
related to severance of employees and closing facilities and current year
utilization that were recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2002 in
connection with the acquisition by Tyco. Fair value adjustments and adjustments
related to the sale or liquidation of certain non-strategic portfolios are not
included ($ in millions).

Note 3--Derivative Financial Instruments
The components of the adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
for derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows at September 30, 2001
and the balance outstanding at June 30, 2002 are presented in the following
table ($ in millions):

------ ------ -----
Balance at June 30, 2002 ............... $ 69.7 $(26.5) $43.2
====== ====== =====
The unrealized loss as of June 30, 2002, presented in the preceding table,
primarily reflects our use of interest rate swaps to convert variable-rate debt
to fixed-rate debt, and is due to the fact that interest rates have declined
from the June 1, 2001 Tyco acquisition date, or from the inception date of the
derivative contracts. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002 approximately $0.1
million, before taxes, was recorded as additional interest expense for the
ineffective portion of changes in fair values of cash flow hedges. Assuming no
change in interest rates, $69.8 million, net of tax, of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next
twelve months as contractual cash payments are made. The Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss (along with the corresponding swap liability) will be
adjusted as market interest rates change over the remaining life of the swaps.
The table above does not include any information on the impact on Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Loss of changes in the value of retained interests in
securitizations.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
CIT uses derivatives for hedging purposes only, and does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As part of
managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, CIT, as an end-user,
enters into various interest rate swap transactions in the over-the-counter
markets, with other financial institutions acting as principal counterparties.
To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, all
derivatives entered into are designated according to a hedge objective against a
specified liability, including senior notes, bank credit facilities, and
commercial paper. CIT's primary hedge objectives include the conversion of
variable-rate liabilities to fixed rates, and the conversion of fixed-rate
liabilities to variable rates. The notional amounts, rates, indices and
maturities of CIT's derivatives are required to closely match the related terms
of CIT's hedged liabilities.
The following table presents the notional principal amounts of interest
rate swaps by class and the corresponding hedge objectives at June 30, 2002 ($
in millions):
Interest Rate Swaps Notional Amount Description
- ------------------------------- --------------- --------------------------------------------------
Floating to fixed-rate

-------- equivalent amount of fixed-rate senior notes to a

========
CIT also utilizes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge
currency risk underlying its net investments in foreign operations and cross
currency interest rate swaps to hedge both foreign currency and interest rate
risk underlying foreign debt. At June 30, 2002, CIT was party to foreign
currency exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling $3.4 billion
and maturities ranging from 2002 to 2006. CIT was also party to cross currency
interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.0 billion and maturities
ranging from 2002 to 2027.

Note 6--Accounting Change--Goodwill
The Company periodically reviews and evaluates its goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. Effective October 1, 2001, the
beginning of CIT's 2002 fiscal year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. As part of the
adoption, the Company allocated its existing goodwill to each of the reporting
units as of October 1, 2001. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, as
of October 1, 2001, there was no goodwill impairment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, our former parent, Tyco,
experienced disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan,
a downgrade in its credit rating, and a significant decline in its market
capitalization. As a result of these events at Tyco, CIT also experienced credit
downgrades and a disruption to its funding base and ability to access capital
markets. Further, market-based information used in connection with our
preliminary consideration of an initial public offering for 100% of CIT
indicated that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March
31, 2002. As a result, management performed a Step 1 SFAS 142 impairment
analysis as of March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was
warranted at that date.
Management's objective in performing the Step 1 SFAS 142 analysis was to
obtain relevant market-based data to calculate the estimated fair value of each
CIT reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 based on each reporting unit's projected
earnings and market factors that would be used by market participants in
ascribing value to each of these reporting units in the planned separation of
CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data from our financial
advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples and market condition
discounts applicable to each reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 and applied
this market data to the individual reporting unit's projected annual earnings as
of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair value of each reporting unit
and any resulting reporting unit goodwill impairment. The estimated fair values
were compared to the corresponding carrying value of each reporting unit at
March 31, 2002, resulting in a $4.512 billion estimated impairment charge as of
March 31, 2002.
SFAS 142 requires a second step analysis whenever the reporting unit book
value exceeds its estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit's individual assets and
liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2002 we completed this analysis for each reporting
unit and determined that an additional Step 2 goodwill impairment charge of
$132.0 million was required based on March 31, 2002 reporting unit values.
Subsequent to March 31, 2002, CIT experienced further credit downgrades
and the business environment and other factors continued to negatively impact
the expected CIT IPO proceeds. As a result, we performed Step 1 and Step 2
analysis as of June 30, 2002 in a manner consistent with the March 2002 process
described above. This analysis was based upon updated market data from our
financial advisors regarding the individual reporting units, and other relevant
market data at June 30, 2002 and through the period immediately following the
IPO of the Company, including the total amount of the IPO proceeds. This
analysis resulted in Step 1 and Step 2 goodwill impairment of $1.719 billion and
$148.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2002, which was recorded during the
June quarter.

Other intangible assets, net, comprised primarily of proprietary computer

million at June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, and are included
in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are being
amortized over a five year period on a straight-line basis, resulting in an
annual amortization of $4.4 million. Amortization of intangible assets of $1.1
million and $3.3 million is included in the results of operations for the
quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002, respectively
Note 7--Related Party Transactions
Upon the acquisition, CIT and Tyco entered into an Operating Agreement,
dated as of June 1, 2001, which limited certain transactions between CIT and
Tyco while Tyco was a shareholder of CIT and required that CIT would at all
times maintain its books, records and assets separately from Tyco. The Operating
Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the IPO on July 8, 2002.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
On February 14, 2002, CIT amended its public debt indentures to prohibit
certain transactions between CIT and Tyco while Tyco owned 50% or more of CIT's
outstanding stock. These provisions are not applicable following the IPO. The
Operating Agreement and indenture amendments are discussed in more depth in the
CIT March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q/A.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, CIT decreased the capacity
available under a factoring program with Tyco from $384.4 million to $337.6
million. During the quarter, certain subsidiaries of Tyco sold receivables of
$319.0 million to CIT and CIT recognized $3.4 million fee income. The
transaction was satisfied as of June 30, 2002.
CIT has entered into a number of equipment loans and leases with
affiliates of Tyco. Loan and lease terms generally range from 3 to 12 years.
Tyco has guaranteed payment and performance obligations under each loan and
lease agreement. At June 30, 2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these
equipment loans and leases was approximately $70.2 million, and the aggregate
amount outstanding upon delivery of all applicable equipment will be
approximately $72.5 million.
While CIT was an indirect subsidiary of Tyco, certain of CIT's operating
expenses were paid by Tyco and billed to CIT. As of June 30, 2002, CIT had
outstanding payables to subsidiaries of Tyco totaling $23.8 million related
primarily to these charges. These payables were subsequently satisfied.
On May 1, 2002, CIT assumed a corporate aircraft lease obligation from
Tyco. The assumed lease obligation is approximately $16.0 million for a period
of 134 months beginning on May 1, 2002. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, CIT had an
agreement to purchase this aircraft directly from the previous owner.
Following June 30, 2002, but immediately prior to the closing of the IPO,
Tyco effectuated a restructuring whereby CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) was merged into
Tyco Capital Holdings (TCH), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco Capital,
a Bermuda Company. This combined entity was then merged into CIT Group Inc.
(Delaware). TCH was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity had been
in connection with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of
CIT by Tyco on June 1, 2001. TCH had no assets or liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT, at the time of the merger. Tyco completed the IPO on July 8,
2002 and CIT subsequently received the proceeds from the underwriters'
over-allotment option. See Note 10 "Subsequent Events" for further details.
Note 8--Commitments
As of June 30, 2002, remaining commitments to purchase aircraft from both
Airbus Industrie and The Boeing Company totaled 94 units at an approximate value
of $4.4 billion, including options to purchase additional units. Additionally,
in some cases CIT has the flexibility to delay or terminate certain positions.
Deliveries of these new aircraft are scheduled to take place through 2006. As of
June 30, 2002, all delivered aircraft have been placed in service. Remaining
deliveries for calendar years 2002 and 2003 are 5 and 19, respectively, of which
all 2002 and eight 2003 deliveries have customers in place as of June 30, 2002.

Note 10--Subsequent Events
On July 2, 2002, following the pricing of the IPO, CIT's long-term debt
and commercial paper credit ratings were upgraded by Standard & Poors to A/A-1
and by Fitch to A/F1.
On July 8, 2002, Tyco closed the sale of 200 million shares of CIT,
representing 100% of the issued and outstanding shares, at an initial public
offering price of $23.00 per share, resulting in estimated proceeds to Tyco of
$4.6 billion before underwriting discounts and commissions. Following completion
of the offering, Moody's reaffirmed CIT's ratings and moved CIT from negative to
stable outlook.
On July 12, 2002, the underwriters of the IPO exercised a portion of their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 11.6 million shares of the
Company's Common Stock from CIT at the IPO price of $23.00 per share or an
aggregate of $266.8 million, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The
proceeds will be used for general operating purposes.
On July 15, 2002, CIT announced its selection of five commercial paper
dealers as a first step to re-initiate a commercial paper program, with a
program size targeted at up to $5.0 billion. The Company expects to maintain
committed bank facilities at amounts equal to or greater than the commercial
paper program.
On July 24, 2002, CIT reentered the commercial paper market. As of July
31, 2002, $2.5 billion was issued and outstanding.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the
results of CIT Group Inc., a Nevada corporation, formerly known as Tyco Capital
Corporation and previously The CIT Group, Inc., the predecessor to CIT Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we," "CIT" or the "Company").
On July 8, 2002 Tyco sold 100% of CIT via an initial public offering and
CIT became a publicly-traded corporation with its shares listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. See Note 10 Subsequent Events, for further detail.
On June 1, 2001, The CIT Group, Inc. was acquired by a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco") in a purchase business
combination. In accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business
combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus related purchase accounting
adjustments had been "pushed down" and recorded in CIT's financial statements,
resulting in a new basis of accounting for the "successor" period beginning June
2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets and liabilities were recorded at
estimated fair value in the CIT financial statements. Information relating to
all "predecessor" periods prior to the acquisition is presented using CIT's
historical basis of accounting. In September 2001, CIT changed its fiscal year
end from December 31 to September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal year end. In
conjunction with the acquisition, we changed our name from The CIT Group, Inc.
to Tyco Capital Corporation. On February 8, 2002, we changed our name from Tyco
Capital Corporation to CIT Group Inc.
Results for the June quarter reflect a goodwill impairment charge that
considers the IPO valuation of market capitalization of the Company, reserving
actions relating to our telecommunication and Argentine portfolios, the
continued disruption to our funding base, our excess liquidity positions, and
the effects of the weak economy with respect to credit and new business
generation.
The following table summarizes our net income and related data ($ in
millions).

======== ======== ======== ========
The current quarter net loss of $1,993.5 million includes a $1,999.0
million non-cash charge for the estimated impairment of goodwill and a $161.2
million, after tax, provision to establish reserves primarily relating to the
telecommunications portfolio, notably competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC)
exposures, and continued devaluation of the Argentine peso brought on by
economic reforms instituted by the Argentine government that converted
dollar-denominated receivables into peso denominated obligations. Continuing
liquidity issues, which have constrained growth and increased our funding costs,
also negatively impacted operating results for the period. Partially offsetting
these factors were strong other revenues and reduced operating expenses. The
current period's results also include the liquidation of low-yielding,
non-strategic assets, the effects of fair value adjustments in new basis
accounting on net interest margin, and lower leverage. As a result of the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on October 1, 2001, there was no goodwill
amortization for the current fiscal periods.
20
Reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 included charges
totaling $158.0 million after tax, including reserving actions related to
telecommunication receivables, write-downs of e-commerce equity investments and
transaction costs relating to the Tyco acquisition.

Net finance margin decreased $73.4 million to $356.0 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 from the quarter ended June 30, 2001. For the nine
months ended June 30, 2002, net finance margin increased $67.0 million to
$1,291.7 million from the prior year period. As a percentage of AEA, net finance
margin was 4.11% and 4.75% for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002
compared to 4.19% and 3.96% in the prior year quarter and nine months,
respectively. AEA declined during the quarter and nine months ended June 30,
2002 due to the following: (1) sales and liquidation of non-strategic assets;
(2) increased securitization activity; and (3) lower new business origination
volume due to weak economic conditions and growth constraints following the draw
down of bank facilities and other liquidity events described below.
The net finance margin as a percentage of AEA for the quarter and nine
months ended June 30, 2002 was favorably impacted by the exit activities related
to non-strategic and under-performing businesses, the decline in market interest
rates, the effect of fair value adjustments in the new basis of accounting to
reflect market interest rates on debt and assets, including liquidating
portfolios and lower leverage. These positive factors were partially offset by
the full quarterly impact of higher cost bank line borrowings, the $2.5 billion
term debt financing and excess cash maintained for liquidity purposes during the
quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Current quarter net finance margin declined $92.2 million and dropped from
4.98% as a percentage of AEA from the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily
to the higher cost associated with the draw down of bank facilities to pay off
commercial paper, the issuance of $2.5 billion of fixed rate term debt on April
1, 2002, and higher levels of excess cash maintained for liquidity purposes.
Finance income (interest on loans and lease rentals) for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 decreased $318.0 million, to $1,021.9 million from $1,339.9
million for the comparable 2001 quarter, and decreased $780.3 million to
$3,327.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from $4,107.9 million
in the prior year nine months. The trend primarily reflected declines of 15.5%
and 12.0% in AEA for the quarter and the nine months from the prior year
periods. As a percent of AEA, finance income was 11.79% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 and 12.23% for the nine months then ended, respectively, compared
to 13.07% and 13.29% for the comparable quarter and nine months ended June 30,
2001, respectively, as the impact of portfolio mix changes resulting from the
sale and liquidation activities, as well as the favorable impact of the new
basis of accounting, were offset by the effects of lower market interest rates
and lower rentals in the aerospace portfolio due to the commercial airline
industry downturn post September 11, 2001.
Interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002
decreased $188.6 million and $745.2 million, respectively, from the comparable
2001 periods. As a percent of AEA, interest expense decreased to 4.27% from
5.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, while in the nine month period
interest expense decreased to 4.01% from 5.94% in the prior year period. The
lower interest expense both in dollars and as a percentage of AEA reflects the
lower current period debt levels associated with funding a lower asset base,
decreased leverage, the lower market interest rates, and the effect of fair
value adjustments in the new basis of accounting, partially offset by higher
funding costs. Interest expense as a percentage of AEA increased from 3.87%
during the prior quarter, reflecting higher funding costs and excess liquidity.
The operating lease equipment portfolio was $6.7 billion at June 30, 2002,
down from $7.2 billion at June 30, 2001. Depreciation on operating lease
equipment for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $295.7 million, compared to
$351.7 million in the comparable 2001 quarter, and was $944.4 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1,046.5 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2001. As a percent of average operating lease equipment,
annualized depreciation expense was 17.8% and 19.5% for the quarters ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 19.2% and 19.6% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Operating lease margin (rental income less
depreciation expense) was 5.9% and 6.2% for the quarter and nine months ended
June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to 6.1% and 6.9% for the same periods
ended June 30, 2001. The decline in depreciation expense from prior year levels
22
reflects a greater proportion of longer-term aircraft and rail assets in the
2002 periods. Our depreciable assets range from smaller-ticket, shorter-term
lease assets (e.g. computers) to larger-ticket, longer-term lease assets (e.g.
aircraft and rail assets).
The events surrounding our increased cost of funds, which negatively
impacted the current quarter margin, and our actions taken to address the
related liquidity issues included the following:
o In connection with Tyco and CIT credit rating downgrades, CIT drew
down on its $8.5 billion of unsecured bank credit facilities in
February 2002 in order to pay down commercial paper and term debt at
scheduled maturities. The full quarter impact of the higher cost
bank facilities was reflected in the current quarter.
o Interest costs on the April 1, 2002 $2.5 billion fixed-rate debt
offering, comprised of $1.25 billion of 7.375% senior notes due
April 2, 2007, and $1.25 billion of 7.750% senior notes due April 2,
2012, are higher than comparable fixed-rate debt costs assuming
borrowing spreads prior to the onset of our recent liquidity issues.
In general, the spreads on interest rates for corporate bonds over
treasury securities have risen over the last several months.
o During the March 2002 quarter, CIT entered into a $1.2 billion
conduit financing backed by trade accounts receivable in order to
broaden funding access and repay term debt at the scheduled
maturities. The conduit was repaid during the June quarter using
available funds.
o During the June 2002 quarter, CIT completed $2.7 billion of
securitization transactions backed by equipment and home equity
loans to broaden funding access and repay term debt at the scheduled
maturities.
o Excess cash of approximately $1.5 billion on average was maintained
for liquidity purposes, with associated investment yields earned
being lower than the Company's borrowing costs.
The events above resulted in an increased cost of funds due to the
alternative sources of financing being more expensive than our historical
financing sources, and due to the Company maintaining excess cash liquidity
levels for the orderly payment of debt. Management expects that margin and
earnings will continue to be impacted for the foreseeable future, as results in
prospective quarters will reflect the continued impact of the more expensive
funding sources and excess liquidity.
The trend in net finance margin is presented in the following table, which
summarizes the components of net finance margin as a percentage of AEA for the
quarters of fiscal 2002:

(1) Excluding the telecommunications and Argentine reserving actions, the
provision for credit losses was 1.12%, 1.36% and 1.22% for the quarters
ended March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and nine months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively.

Net Finance Margin after Provision for Credit Losses
The net finance margin after provision for credit losses (risk adjusted
interest margin) declined to $(1.7) million and $626.1 million for the quarter
and nine months ended June 30, 2002, from $262.7 million and $925.9 million for
the comparable periods ended June 30, 2001 due to additional reserves for the
telecommunications portfolio and Argentine exposure. Excluding these additional
provisions in the current quarter and nine months, risk adjusted interest margin
was $238.3 million (2.75% of AEA) for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and $961.1
million (3.53%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2002. The comparable 2001
three and nine month comparisons as a percentage of AEA were 3.43% and 3.28%,
respectively.
For the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 2002, the interest
margin impact of fair value adjustments to mark receivables and debt to market
as of the Tyco acquisition was approximately 40 and 44 basis points,
respectively. The risk-adjusted margin related to the liquidating portfolios for
the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002 was not significant because the
interest margin, including purchase accounting accretion, was substantially
offset by charge-offs (included in the provision for loan losses) related to
such portfolios.
Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and
2001 was $357.7 million and $166.7 million, respectively. The increased
provision reflects higher 2002 charge-off levels and reserving actions relating
to the telecommunications portfolio ($200 million) and our Argentine exposure
($40 million). The prior year quarter included a $89.5 million provision related
to non-strategic lease and loan portfolios.
Our provision for credit losses and reserve for credit losses are
presented in the following table ($ in millions).

The reserve for credit losses is periodically reviewed for adequacy
considering economic conditions, collateral values and credit quality
indicators, including charge-off experience, and levels of past due loans and
non-performing assets. The reserve increased to $808.9 million (2.90% of finance
receivables) at June 30, 2002 compared to $492.9 million (1.55% of finance
receivables) at September 30, 2001 and $463.8 million (1.50% of finance
receivables) at June 30, 2001.
The reserve increase, both on a dollar basis and as a percentage of
finance receivables, compared to the prior quarter and the prior year periods is
primarily due to reserving actions taken during the current quarter in two
areas. First, in light of the continued deterioration in the telecommunications
sector, particularly with respect to competitive local exchange carriers
(CLEC's), we added $200.0 million to the reserve for credit losses. This
reserving action followed a review of the telecommunications portfolio, which
totaled $671.9 million at June 30, 2002, including $291.0 million in CLEC
exposure. Second, following the continued weakening in the peso during the
quarter and the Argentine government's action last quarter to convert our dollar
denominated loans to pesos, we added $40.0 million to Argentine reserves during
the current quarter, bringing the total reserve for Argentine exposure to $135.0
million at June 30, 2002.
The following table presents the components of the reserve for credit
losses, both in amount and as a percentage of finance receivables ($ in

Net charge-offs were $126.0 million, 1.79% of average finance receivables,
and $351.3 million, 1.57%, during the quarter and nine months ended June 30,
2002, respectively, compared to $156.8 million, 1.91%, and $283.6 million,
1.14%, during the prior year quarter and six months, respectively. Excluding
liquidating portfolios of non-strategic assets and special provisions in 2001,
net charge-offs were $105.6 million, 1.63%, and $246.6 million, 1.19%, for the
quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to $76.6
million, 0.94%, and $203.4 million, 0.82%, in the prior year quarter and nine
months, respectively.
25
The increased net charge-offs from the prior year, both in amount and
percentage, reflect general economic weakness leading to higher net charge-offs
in virtually all of our business segments. The higher net charge-off percentages
in relation to the prior year also reflect higher charge-off rates associated
with approximately $1.7 billion of net receivables in liquidation status as of
June 30, 2002, which include trucking, franchise, inventory finance,
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle receivables. Net charge-offs, both
in amount and as a percentage of average finance receivables, are shown for the
liquidating and core portfolios for the quarter and nine months ended June 30,

over quarter, most notably Equipment Financing and Leasing. The increased core
charge-offs in the June quarter reflect continued economic weakness and
increased severity of loss due to weakening equipment values in several sectors.

Other revenue was $246.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002,
versus $199.9 million (excluding special charges) during the quarter ended June
30, 2001, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 was $723.3 million,
compared to $628.8 million (excluding special charges) for the same period of
2001. Fees and other income, which includes servicing fees, miscellaneous fees,
syndication fees and gains from receivable sales, outpaced prior year quarter
and nine months results as stronger fee income and factoring commissions were
recognized in the Commercial Finance segment. An increase in fees and other
income was also reported in the Specialty Finance segment.
The following table presents additional information regarding
securitization gains ($ in millions):

(1) Excludes short-term trade receivables securitized for liquidity purposes
during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and subsequently repaid in the
quarter ended June 30, 2002.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we securitized $0.8 billion of
home equity loans and $1.9 billion of equipment loans to meet funding and
liquidity needs. Gains during the current quarter were higher due to improved
market demand and the higher proportion of public versus conduit structures in
the quarter.
Ranges of key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained
interests at the date of securitization for transactions completed during the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 were as follows:
Commercial Home
Equipment Equity
-------------- ---------------
Prepayment speed .................... 9.00% - 48.30% 25.00%
Expected credit losses .............. 0.00% - 1.27% 0.80% - 0.93%
Weighted average discount rate ...... 9.00% - 16.00% 11.00% - 13.00%
Weighted average life (in years) .... 0.98 - 2.53 2.51 - 2.71
The prepayment speed, in the tables above, is based on Constant Prepayment
Rate ("CPR") which expresses payments as a function of the declining amount of
loans at a compound annual rate. Expected credit losses are based upon annual
loss rates.
27
Salaries and General Operating Expenses
Salaries and general operating expenses were $230.4 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002, versus $265.5 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002, salaries and general
operating expenses were $687.8 million compared to $788.3 million for the same
prior year period. The decreases are due to corporate staff reductions and
business restructurings. As a result, both the efficiency ratio and the ratio of
salaries and general operating expenses to average managed assets ("AMA")
improved for the current periods, notwithstanding the lower 2002 managed asset
levels, as set forth in the following table ($ in millions):
Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended
June 30, June 30,
---------------------- ----------------------
2002 2001 2002 2001
----------- ---------- ----------- ----------
(successor) (combined) (successor) (combined)
Efficiency ratio(1) ................... 38.3% 42.6% 34.1% 44.4%

Average Managed Assets ................ $45,734.3 $50,927.3 $47,393.2 $51,657.4
- -----------
(1) Efficiency ratio is the ratio of salaries and general operating expenses
to operating margin, excluding the provision for credit losses.
(2) "AMA" means average managed assets, which is average earning assets plus
the average of finance receivables previously securitized and still
managed by us.
The improvement in the efficiency ratios in 2002 over 2001 is a result of
strong margins and fee income and cost reductions. Management expects an
increase in expenses as the Company will incur added expenses associated with
operating as a public company, but continues to target an efficiency ratio in
the mid 30% area.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Amortization
The Company periodically reviews and evaluates its goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. Effective October 1, 2001, the
beginning of CIT's 2002 fiscal year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. As part of the
adoption, the Company allocated its existing goodwill to each of the reporting
units as of October 1, 2001. Under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, as
of October 1, 2001, there was no goodwill impairment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, our former parent, Tyco,
experienced disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan,
a downgrade in its credit rating, and a significant decline in its market
capitalization. As a result of these events at Tyco, CIT also experienced credit
downgrades and a disruption to its funding base and ability to access capital
markets. Further, market-based information used in connection with our
preliminary consideration of an initial public offering for 100% of CIT
indicated that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March
31, 2002. As a result, management performed a Step 1 SFAS 142 impairment
analysis as of March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was
warranted at that date.
Management's objective in performing the Step 1 SFAS 142 analysis was to
obtain relevant market-based data to calculate the estimated fair value of each
CIT reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 based on each reporting unit's projected
earnings and market factors that would be used by market participants in
ascribing value to each of these reporting units in the planned separation of
CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data from our financial
advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples and market condition
discounts applicable to each reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 and applied
this market data to the individual reporting unit's projected annual earnings as
of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair value of each reporting unit
28
and any resulting reporting unit goodwill impairment. The estimated fair values
were compared to the corresponding carrying value of each reporting unit at
March 31, 2002, resulting in a $4.512 billion estimated impairment charge as of
March 31, 2002.
SFAS 142 requires a second step analysis whenever the reporting unit book
value exceeds its estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit's individual assets and
liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2002 we completed this analysis for each reporting
unit and determined that an additional Step 2 goodwill impairment charge of
$132.0 million was required based on March 31, 2002 reporting unit values.
Subsequent to March 31, 2002, CIT experienced further credit downgrades
and the business environment and other factors continued to negatively impact
the expected CIT IPO proceeds. As a result, we performed Step 1 and Step 2
analysis as of June 30, 2002 in a manner consistent with the March 2002 process
described above. This analysis was based upon updated market data from our
financial advisors regarding the individual reporting units, and other relevant
market data at June 30, 2002 and through the period immediately following the
IPO of the Company, including the total amount of the IPO proceeds. This
analysis resulted in Step 1 and Step 2 goodwill impairment of $1.719 billion and
$148.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2002, which was recorded during the
June quarter.
Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate was (0.3)% during the quarter ended June 30,
2002, versus 40.5% during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, and was (4.3)% and
42.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
effective income tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2002,
reflects the impact of the goodwill impairment charge, which is not deductible
for income tax purposes. Excluding the impact of the goodwill charges, the
effective income tax rate was 38.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2002.
Financing and Leasing Assets
Managed assets, comprised of financing and leasing assets plus finance
receivables securitized that we continue to manage, totaled $47.7 billion at
June 30, 2002, down from $50.9 billion at September 30, 2001, and $51.1 billion
at June 30, 2001. Owned financing and leasing portfolio assets totaled $35.7
billion at June 30, 2002 compared to $40.7 billion at September 30, 2001 and
$40.5 billion June 30, 2001.
The trend of declining asset levels reflects the following: (1) sales and
liquidation of non-strategic assets; (2) the continued focus on managing down
our leverage ratios; and (3) lower origination volume due to continued soft
economic conditions and growth constraints relating to the previously described
liquidity events. During fiscal 2002, we completed the sale of approximately
$700 million in recreational vehicle receivables in the Specialty
Finance-consumer business unit, and the liquidation of several portfolios
continued, including trucking, franchise, inventory financing, manufactured
housing and recreational vehicles. In addition, $2.7 billion of equipment and
home equity receivables were securitized during the quarter in the Equipment
Financing and Specialty Finance-commercial business units as part of our program
to broaden funding access. New origination volume (excluding factoring) was down
sequentially and remained below prior year levels by approximately 10%. Within
the Equipment Financing and Leasing segment, Capital Finance grew during the
nine months ended June 30, 2002 due to demand for its rail and aerospace
products, including placements of new commercial airliners.

Past due loans declined during the June quarter to $1.03 billion, or 3.69%
of finance receivables due to improvements in each of the commercial segments,
except for Structured Finance. Non-performing assets increased to $1.05 billion,
primarily in the telecommunications/CLEC portfolio in Structured Finance and in
the Equipment Financing unit, driven by an increase in repossessed assets.
Structured Finance non-performing CLEC exposures totaled $99.5 million at June
30, 2002. As discussed in "Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses", a $200.0
million provision was recorded during the quarter relating to the
Telecommunications portfolio.
Managed past dues declined from 4.09% at March 31, 2002 to 3.74% at June

Concentrations
Our ten largest financing and leasing asset accounts in the aggregate
accounted for 4.6% of our total financing and leasing assets at June 30, 2002
(with the largest account representing less than 1%), all of which are
commercial accounts secured by either equipment, accounts receivable or
inventory.
At June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, our managed asset geographic
diversity did not differ significantly from our owned asset geographic
diversity.
31
Our financing and leasing asset portfolio in North America is diversified
by region. At June 30, 2002, with the exception of California (10.1%), New York
(9.0%), and Texas (7.0%), no state or province represented more than 4.0% of
owned financing and leasing assets. Our June 2002 managed and owned asset
geographic composition did not significantly differ from our September 2001
managed and owned asset geographic composition.
Financing and leasing assets to foreign obligors totaled $7.3 billion at
June 30, 2002. After Canada, $1.7 billion (4.9% of financing and leasing
assets), the largest foreign exposures were England, $1.1 billion (3.1%), China,
$410 million (1.1%), Germany, $443 million (1.2%), France, $369 million (1.0%)
and Australia $458 million (1.3%). Our remaining foreign exposure was
geographically dispersed, with no other individual country exposure exceeding
1.0% of financing and leasing assets.
At September 30, 2001, with the exception of California (10.4%), New York
(8.8%), and Texas (7.7%), no state or province represented more than 4.5% of
owned financing and leasing assets. Financing and leasing assets to foreign
obligors totaled $6.9 billion at September 30, 2001. After Canada, $2.0 billion
(4.8% of financing and leasing assets), the next largest foreign exposure was to
England, $0.9 billion (2.1%). Our remaining foreign exposure was geographically
dispersed, with no other individual country exposure exceeding 1.0% of financing
and leasing assets.
At June 30, 2002 we had approximately $180 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated loans and assets outstanding to customers located or doing
business in Argentina. The Argentine government has recently instituted economic
reforms, including the conversion of certain dollar-denominated loans into
pesos. During the June 2002 quarter, the peso continued its devaluation against
the dollar, therefore we increased our reserve by $40 million, in addition to
the $95.0 million charge recorded last quarter, bringing our total Argentine
reserves to $135.0 million.
Our telecommunications portfolio is included in "Communications" in the
industry composition table included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. This portfolio is part of our Structured Finance segment and totals
approximately $671.9 million at June 30, 2002, comprising approximately 1.9% of
total financing and leasing assets, of which 16.7% are on non-accrual status.
This portfolio consists of 54 accounts with an average balance of approximately
$12.4 million. The 10 largest accounts in the portfolio aggregate $206.0 million
with the largest single account under $30.0 million. Competitive local exchange
carrier ("CLEC") accounts were approximately $291.0 million, or 43.3%, of the
telecommunications portfolio at June 30, 2002. Many of these CLEC accounts are
still in the process of building out their networks and developing their
customer bases. Our telecommunications transactions are collateralized by the
assets of the customer (equipment, receivables, cash, etc.) and typically are
also secured by a pledge of the stock of non-public companies. Weak economic
conditions and industry overcapacity have driven down values in this sector. As
discussed in Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses, $200.0 million in reserves
were recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 for telecommunication
exposures. As management continues to evaluate and work out the individual
accounts in this portfolio, charge-offs will be recorded against this reserve in
subsequent quarters. Continued weakness in this sector could result in
additional losses or require additional reserves.
At June 30, 2002, our aerospace portfolio consisted of approximately 300
aircraft, with an average age of approximately eight years. The portfolio is
spread over approximately 100 accounts, with the majority (approximately 200
aircraft in the Capital Finance business unit) with major carriers. Of the 200
aircraft in the Capital Finance business unit, approximately 68%, 22% and 10%
are narrow-body, intermediate-body and wide-body, respectively, and all comply
with stage III noise regulations. The remaining 100 aircraft are with regional
carriers in the Structured Finance segment and are not subject to such noise
regulations. The total portfolio is geographically diversified with
approximately 30% of the fleet operating with carriers in North America, 37% in
Europe, 20% in Asia-Pacific and the remaining 13% primarily in Latin America,
the Middle East and Africa.
32
On August 11, 2002 a major U.S. airline announced its bankruptcy filing.
CIT's exposure is approximately $75 million to this carrier, secured primarily
by five narrow-body 737's. Each financing is collateralized and, in the event of
repossession, we believe that, based on current valuations, any collateral
write-down would be modest. Continued deterioration in the commercial airline
industry could affect such valuations.
Our Structured Finance segment has direct and private fund venture capital
equity investments totaling $362.5 million at June 30, 2002. This portfolio is
comprised of direct investments of approximately $199 million in 60 companies
and $164 million in 50 private equity funds. These investments are principally
in emerging growth enterprises in selected industries, including industrial
buyout, information technology, life science and consumer products. In 2001, we
ceased making new venture capital investments beyond existing commitments, which
totaled approximately $200 million at June 30, 2002. These commitments, which
are mainly to private equity funds, may, or may not, be drawn. Performance of
these investments will depend upon the economy and the venture capital and
private equity markets.
Other Assets
Other assets totaled $4.3 billion and $3.9 billion at June 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2001. Included in other assets as of June 30, 2002 is the
following: Securitization assets, including cash reserve accounts, interest-only
strips, retained subordinated securities and servicing assets of $1.5 billion;
investments in and receivables from non-consolidated subsidiaries of $666
million; accrued interest and receivables from derivative counter-parties of
$450 million; equity investments of $362 million and deposits on flight
equipment of $335 million. The increase in Other Assets from September 2001 to
June 2002 was primarily due to an increase in securitization assets, reflecting
the higher use of securitization for funding purposes following the disruption
to our funding base in the March 2002 quarter.
Liquidity Risk Management
In February 2002, we drew down on our $8.5 billion in unsecured bank
credit facilities, which have historically been maintained as liquidity support
for our commercial paper programs. The proceeds were used to satisfy our
outstanding commercial paper obligations. The bank credit facilities are made up
of four variable-rate components. Two of the components mature in March 2003,
with one totaling $3.72 billion at LIBOR plus 28 basis points and the other is
$0.5 billion (Canadian dollars) at Prime plus 5 basis points as of March 31,
2002. The remaining two variable rate credit instruments consist of $3.72
billion at LIBOR plus 30 basis points that matures in March 2005 and $0.765
billion at LIBOR plus 45 basis points that matures in April 2003. This draw down
followed a draw down of bank lines by Tyco.
In April 2002, we completed a $2.5 billion public unsecured bond offering
as part of our strategy to strengthen our liquidity position. This debt offering
was comprised of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes
due April 2, 2007 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior
notes due April 2, 2012. The proceeds will be used to repay a portion of our
existing term debt at maturity.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, our credit ratings were further
downgraded by Standard & Poors and Fitch, while Moody's confirmed our ratings.
Following the IPO, Standard & Poors and Fitch upgraded our long-term and
short-term ratings, while Moody's reaffirmed the ratings. Our credit ratings are
shown for March 31, 2002, June 30, 2002 and July 31, 2002 in the following

On July 15, 2002, CIT announced its selection of five commercial paper
dealers as a first step to re-initiate a commercial paper program, with a
program size targeted at up to $5.0 billion. The Company expects to maintain
committed bank facilities to fully back up the program.
On July 24, 2002, CIT reentered the commercial paper markets. As of July
31, 2002, $2.5 billion was issued and outstanding. These proceeds are being used
to pay down bank lines.
From time to time, CIT files registration statements for debt securities,
which it may sell in the future. At June 30, 2002, we had $12.2 billion of
registered, but unissued, debt securities available under a shelf registration
statement. In addition, CIT had $4.4 billion of registered, but unissued,
securities available under public shelf registration statements relating to our
asset-backed securitization program.

On July 12, 2002, as part of CIT's IPO, the underwriters exercised a
portion of their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 11.6 million
shares of CIT stock for approximately $255 million, after underwriting discounts
and commissions. On a pro-forma basis, including the proceeds from the
over-allotment, the ratios of tangible shareholder's equity and preferred
capital securities to managed assets and total debt to tangible shareholder's
equity and preferred capital securities would be 9.79% and 6.62x at June 30,
2002.
See Note 10 and the "--Overview" section above for a discussion of events
impacting our liquidity and capitalization.
Securitization and Joint Venture Activities
We utilize special purpose entities (SPE's) and joint ventures in the
normal course of business to execute securitization transactions and conduct
business in key vendor relationships.
34
Securitization Transactions--SPE's are used to achieve "true sale" and
bankruptcy remote requirements for these transactions in accordance with SFAS
No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." Pools of assets are originated and sold to
independent trusts (the SPE's), which in turn issue securities to investors
solely backed by asset pools. Accordingly, CIT has no legal obligations to repay
the investment certificates in the event of a default by the Trust. CIT retains
the servicing rights and participates in certain cash flows of the pools. The
present value of expected net cash flows that exceeds the estimated cost of
servicing is recorded in other assets as a "retained interest." Assets
securitized are shown in our managed assets and our capitalization ratios on
managed assets.
Joint Ventures--We utilize joint ventures to conduct financing activities
with certain strategic vendor partners. Receivables are originated by the joint
venture entity and purchased by CIT. These distinct legal entities are jointly
owned by the vendor partner and CIT, and there is no third-party debt involved.
These arrangements are accounted for on the equity method, with profits and
losses distributed according to the joint venture agreement.
Commitments and Contingencies--In the normal course of business, we grant
commitments to extend additional financing and leasing asset credit and we have
commitments to purchase commercial aircraft for lease to third parties. We
also enter into various credit-related commitments, including letters of credit,
acceptances and guarantees. These financial arrangements generate fees and
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts
recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. To minimize potential credit risk,
we generally require collateral and other credit-related terms from the
customer.
Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making
estimates and assumptions that affect 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 income and expenses during the reporting
period. The following accounting policies include inherent risks and
uncertainties related to judgments and assumptions made by management.
Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the
end of each period.
Investments--Investments for which the Company does not have the ability
to exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily
determinable market value are accounted for under the cost method. Management
uses judgment in determining when an unrealized loss is deemed to be other than
temporary, in which case such loss is charged to earnings.
Charge-off of Finance Receivables--Finance receivables are reviewed
periodically to determine the probability of loss. Charge-offs are taken after
considering such factors as the borrower's financial condition and the value of
underlying collateral and guarantees (including recourse to dealers and
manufacturers).
Impaired Loans--Loan impairment is defined as any shortfall between the
estimated value and the recorded investment in the loan, with the estimated
value determined using the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is
collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
Retained Interests in Securitizations--Significant financial assumptions,
including loan pool credit losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates, are
utilized to determine the fair values of retained interests, both at the date of
the securitization and in the subsequent quarterly valuations of retained
interests. Any resulting losses, representing the excess of carrying value over
estimated fair value, are recorded in current earnings. However, unrealized
gains are reflected in shareholder's equity as part of other comprehensive
income, rather than in earnings.
35
Lease Residual Values--Operating lease equipment is carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and is depreciated to estimated residual value using
the straight-line method over the lease term or projected economic life of the
asset. Direct financing leases are recorded at the aggregated future minimum
lease payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income.
Management performs periodic reviews of the estimated residual values, with
impairment, other than temporary, recognized in the current period.
Reserve for Credit Losses--The reserve for credit losses is periodically
reviewed by management for adequacy considering economic conditions, collateral
values and credit quality indicators, including historical and expected
charge-off experience and levels of past-due loans and non-performing assets.
Management uses judgment in determining the level of the consolidated reserve
for credit losses and in evaluating the adequacy of the reserve.
Goodwill--CIT adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of CIT's fiscal 2002. The Company has
determined that there is no impact of adopting this new standard under the
transition provisions of SFAS No. 142. Since adoption, goodwill is no longer
amortized but instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. During
this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating
results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows,
and transactions and market place data. See "--Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets Amortization" above for a discussion of our recent impairment analysis.

Market Risk Management
Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from
September 30, 2001, except for possible additional interest rate exposure
discussed in "Overview" and "Liquidity Risk Management" above.
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. We are currently assessing the impact of this new
standard.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting model for
impairment of long-lived assets. We are currently assessing the impact of this
new standard.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
This statement rescinds the above mentioned statements and amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. We are
currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal." This statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities that are
initiated after December 31, 2002. We are currently assessing the impact of this
new standard.
