NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements included in Textron Financial
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2005. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Textron
Financial Corporation (Textron Financial or the Company) and its subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. The consolidated
financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of Textron Financial's consolidated financial
position at March 31, 2005, and its consolidated results of operations and cash
flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

NOTE 3. MANAGED AND SERVICED FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Textron Financial manages and services finance receivables for a variety of
investors, participants and third-party portfolio owners. Managed and serviced
finance receivables are summarized as follows:
MARCH 31, JANUARY 1,
2005 2005
--------- ----------
(IN MILLIONS)
Total managed and serviced finance receivables.......... $ 9,521 $ 9,268
Third-party portfolio servicing......................... (620) (606)
Nonrecourse participations.............................. (485) (488)
SBA sales agreements.................................... (36) (39)

Total managed finance receivables....................... 8,380 8,135
Securitized receivables................................. (1,949) (2,032)
Other managed finance receivables....................... (228) (266)
------- -------
Owned finance receivables............................... $ 6,203 $ 5,837
======= =======
Third-party portfolio servicing largely relates to finance receivable
portfolios of resort developers and loan portfolio servicing for third-party
financial institutions.
Nonrecourse participations consist of undivided interests in loans
originated by Textron Financial, primarily in vacation interval resorts and golf
finance, which are sold to independent investors.
Owned receivables include approximately $123 million of finance receivables
that were unfunded at March 31, 2005, primarily as a result of holdback
arrangements. The corresponding liability is included in Accrued interest and
other liabilities on Textron Financial's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4. LOAN IMPAIRMENT
Textron Financial periodically evaluates finance receivables, excluding
homogeneous loan portfolios and finance leases, for impairment. A loan is
considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. In addition, the Company identifies loans that are considered
impaired due to the significant modification of the original loan terms to
reflect deferred principal payments generally at market interest rates, but
which continue to accrue finance charges since full collection of principal and
interest is not doubtful. Impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of
a loan to its carrying amount. Fair value is based on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the
loan's observable market price or, if the loan is collateral dependent, at the
fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. If the fair value of the loan
is less than its carrying amount, the Company establishes a reserve based on
this difference. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires
estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be
received on impaired loans, that may differ from actual results.

(IN MILLIONS)
Nonaccrual finance receivables.......................... $107 $119

==== ====
Impaired finance receivables with identified reserve
requirements.......................................... $ 43 $ 48
Allowance for losses on finance receivables related to
impaired loans........................................ $ 16 $ 16
The average recorded investment in impaired finance receivables during the
first quarter of 2005 was $123 million compared to $172 million in the
corresponding period in 2004.
Nonaccrual finance receivables resulted in Textron Financial's finance
charges being reduced by $2 million and $4 million for the first quarter of 2005
and 2004, respectively. No finance charges were recognized using the cash basis
method.
Captive finance receivables with recourse that were delinquent 90 days or
more amounted to $27 million at March 31, 2005 and $31 million at January 1,
2005, and were 8.4% and 9.3% of captive finance receivables with recourse,
respectively. Revenues recognized on these accounts were $1 million for both the
first quarter of 2005 and 2004.

residual values associated principally with Textron golf and turf equipment
lease payments that were sold.

====== ======
The weighted-average interest rates on short-term borrowings have been
determined by relating the annualized interest cost to the daily average dollar
amounts outstanding. The combined weighted-average interest rate was 2.66%
during the three months ended March 31, 2005, and 2.87% at March 31, 2005.
As part of its commercial paper program, the Company has a policy of
maintaining unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount not less than
outstanding commercial paper balances. These lines of credit currently total
$1.5 billion, of which $500 million expires in July of 2005 and $1 billion
expires in 2008. The $500 million facility includes a one-year term out option,
effectively extending its expiration into 2006. Lines of credit not reserved as
support for outstanding commercial paper or letters of credit were $8 million at
March 31, 2005, compared to $187 million at January 1, 2005. Textron Financial
is also permitted to borrow under Textron's $1.3 billion revolving credit
facility, which expires in 2010. At March 31, 2005, $1.2 billion of
10
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)
the Textron facility was not reserved as support for outstanding commercial
paper or letters of credit. During the first quarter of 2005, Textron Financial
increased its Canadian uncommitted credit facilities to CAD 148 million, of
which CAD 15 million remained unused. The Company also maintains an AUD
committed credit facility, which was reduced to AUD 50 million and extended to
2006 during the first quarter of 2005. At March 31, 2005, Textron Financial had
utilized AUD 9 million of this facility. Textron Financial also has a $25
million multi-currency committed credit facility, of which $18 million remained
unused at March 31, 2005. This facility expires in 2005, and the Company expects
to renew it prior to expiration.
Interest on Textron Financial's variable rate notes is predominantly tied
to the three-month LIBOR for U.S. dollar deposits. The weighted-average interest
rate on these notes before consideration of the effect of interest rate exchange
agreements, was 3.50% and 2.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
March 31, 2004, respectively.
The Company had interest rate exchange agreements related to the conversion
of fixed rate debt to variable rate debt of $2.5 billion and $2.2 billion at
March 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, whereby the Company makes
periodic floating rate payments in exchange for periodic fixed rate receipts. In
addition, Textron Financial had $200 million of interest rate exchange
agreements at both March 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, related to the conversion
of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt with a weighted-average fixed interest
rate of 3.43%.
The weighted-average interest rate on variable rate term obligations
(including the effect of interest rate exchange agreements) was 3.96% and 2.60%
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively.
Through its subsidiary, Textron Financial Canada Funding Corp. (Textron
Canada Funding), the Company periodically issues debt securities. Textron
Financial owns 100% of the common stock of Textron Canada Funding. Textron
Canada Funding is a financing subsidiary of Textron Financial with no
operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to the issuance,
administration and repayment of debt securities that are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by Textron Financial.
Securitizations are an important source of liquidity for Textron Financial
and involve the periodic transfer of finance receivables to qualified special
purpose trusts. The outstanding amount of debt issued by these qualified special
purpose trusts was $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion for the periods ending March
31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.
The terms of certain of the Company's loan agreements and credit
facilities, under the most restrictive covenant, limit the payment of dividends
to $328 million at March 31, 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, Textron
Financial declared and paid dividends of $99 million.

NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES
On February 3, 2004, in the Court of Common Pleas for Knox County, Ohio, a
purported class action lawsuit was commenced against the Company and Litchfield,
certain of their current and former officers, and other third-parties, related
to the financing of certain land purchases by consumers through a third-party
land developer commonly known as "Buyer's Source." Among other claims, the
purported class action alleges fraud in the financing of Buyer's Source and
seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages in excess of $10 million. The
Company intends to aggressively defend this claim. The Company believes that the
purported class action will not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.
Textron Financial is subject to challenges from tax authorities regarding
amounts of tax due. These challenges may alter the timing or amount of taxable
income or deductions, or the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is conducting an examination of the Company's
Federal income tax returns for the years 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and has
issued Notices of Proposed Adjustment that may affect certain leveraged lease
transactions with a total initial investment of approximately $77 million.
Resolution of these issues may result in an adjustment to the timing of taxable
income and deductions that reduce the effective yield of the leveraged lease
transactions and could result in a pretax adjustment to income. Management
believes that the proposed IRS adjustments are inconsistent with existing tax
law and intends to vigorously defend the Company's position. The resolution of
these issues and the impact on the Company's financial position and results of
operations cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)
There are other pending or threatened lawsuits and other proceedings
against Textron Financial and its subsidiaries. Some of these suits and
proceedings seek compensatory, treble or punitive damages in substantial
amounts. These suits and proceedings are being defended by, or contested on
behalf of, Textron Financial and its subsidiaries. On the basis of information
presently available, Textron Financial believes any such liability would not
have a material effect on Textron Financial's financial position or results of
operations.
NOTE 9. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company aligns its business units into six operating segments based on
the markets served and the products offered: Aircraft Finance, Asset-Based
Lending, Distribution Finance, Golf Finance, Resort Finance and Structured
Capital. In addition, the Company maintains an Other segment (non-core) that
includes franchise finance, media finance, syndicated bank loans and other
liquidating portfolios related to a strategic realignment of the Company's

(1) Interest expense is allocated to each segment in proportion to its net
investment in finance assets. Net investment in finance assets includes
deferred income taxes, security deposits and other specifically identified
liabilities. The interest allocated matches, to the extent possible,
variable rate debt with variable rate finance assets and fixed rate debt
with fixed rate finance assets.
(2) Indirect expenses are allocated to each segment based on the use of such
resources. Most allocations are based on the segment's proportion of net
investment in finance assets, headcount, number of transactions, computer
resources and senior management time.
(3) Finance assets include: finance receivables; equipment on operating leases,
net of accumulated depreciation; repossessed assets and properties; retained
interests in securitizations; investment in equipment residuals;
Acquisition, Development and Construction arrangements; and other short- and
long-term investments (some of which are classified in Other assets on
Textron Financial's Consolidated Balance Sheets).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Textron Financial Corporation (Textron Financial or the Company) is a
diversified commercial finance company with operations in six segments: Aircraft
Finance, Asset-Based Lending, Distribution Finance, Golf Finance, Resort Finance
and Structured Capital. Textron Financial's other financial services and
products include transaction syndication, equipment appraisal and disposition,
and portfolio servicing.
During the first quarter of 2005, Textron Financial experienced significant
growth in its owned finance receivable portfolio. Owned finance receivables grew
by $366 million, or 6%, from year-end 2004, primarily in Distribution Finance
and Aircraft Finance. The Company expects continued growth in its core
portfolios during 2005.
Portfolio quality statistics have continued to improve from year-end 2004.
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of finance assets decreased to 2.01% at
March 31, 2005 from 2.18% at year-end 2004, and 60+ days contractual delinquency
as a percentage of finance receivables decreased to 1.37% at March 31, 2005 from
1.47% at year-end 2004. The Company expects relative stability in these
statistics during 2005; however, the Company could experience an out-of-trend
result in any one quarter.
Net interest margin as a percentage of average net investment (net interest
margin percentage) decreased to 6.30% during the first quarter of 2005 as
compared to 7.28% during the first quarter of 2004, primarily attributable to
decreases in discount earnings and other income. In addition, net interest
margin percentage was negatively impacted by Prime rate increases, which reduced
the benefit of loans with Prime rate floors. Net interest margin percentage will
continue to be negatively impacted by Prime rate increases during 2005; however,
the Company expects this impact will dissipate as rates increase above the Prime
rate floors.
Operating efficiency (the ratio of selling and administrative expenses
divided by net interest margin) deteriorated during the first quarter of 2005,
primarily as a result of increased employee salaries and benefits expense, from
increased performance based compensation tied to the Company's improved
profitability and an increase in pension costs, and the recognition of a $2
million asset impairment charge related to specialized computer software in the
Other segment. Excluding the one-time asset impairment charge, operating
efficiency was 49.0%, up from year-end 2004 (47.1%). The Company anticipates
that this trend will reverse in 2005 based on continuing process improvement
initiatives and increases in net interest margin due to growth in the core
business portfolios.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Textron Financial mitigates liquidity risk (i.e., the risk that the Company
will be unable to fund maturing liabilities or the origination of new finance
receivables) by developing and preserving reliable sources of capital. The
Company uses a variety of financial resources to meet these capital needs. Cash
is provided from finance receivable collections, sales and securitizations as
well as the issuance of commercial paper and term debt in the public and private
markets. This diversity of capital resources enhances the Company's funding
flexibility, limits dependence on any one source of funds, and results in
cost-effective funding. In making particular funding decisions, management
considers market conditions, prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, and
the maturity profile of its assets and liabilities.
As part of its commercial paper program, the Company has a policy of
maintaining unused committed bank lines of credit in an amount not less than
outstanding commercial paper balances. These lines of credit currently total
$1.5 billion, of which $500 million expires in July of 2005 and $1 billion
expires in 2008. The $500 million facility includes a one-year term out option,
effectively extending its expiration into 2006. Lines of credit not reserved as
support for outstanding commercial paper or letters of credit were $8 million at
March 31, 2005, compared to $187 million at January 1, 2005. Textron Financial
is also permitted to borrow
15
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
under Textron's $1.3 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in 2010.
At March 31, 2005, $1.2 billion of the Textron facility was not reserved as
support for outstanding commercial paper or letters of credit. During the first
quarter of 2005, Textron Financial increased its Canadian uncommitted credit
facilities to CAD 148 million, of which CAD 15 million remained unused. The
Company also maintains an AUD committed credit facility, which was reduced to
AUD 50 million and extended to 2006 during the first quarter of 2005. At March
31, 2005, Textron Financial had utilized AUD 9 million of this facility. Textron
Financial also has a $25 million multi-currency committed credit facility, of
which $18 million remained unused at March 31, 2005. This facility expires in
2005, and the Company expects to renew it prior to expiration.
Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Textron Financial may issue public debt securities in one or more
offerings up to a total maximum offering of $4 billion. Under this registration
statement, Textron Financial issued $400 million of USD term debt and 130
million of CAD term debt during the first quarter of 2005. The proceeds from the
USD term debt issuance were used to repay short-term debt. Proceeds from the CAD
term debt issuance were received on April 1, 2005, and were used to pay down the
balance of the Company's Canadian credit facility. At March 31, 2005, Textron
Financial had $2.8 billion of capacity under this registration statement.
Cash flows provided (used) by operating activities were $75 million during
the first quarter of 2005, compared to $(12) million in the corresponding period
of 2004. The increase in cash flows was primarily due to the timing of payments
of accrued interest and other liabilities and an income tax payment of $60
million in the first quarter of 2004.
Cash flows (used) provided by investing activities totaled $(403) million
during the first quarter of 2005, compared to $57 million in the corresponding
period of 2004. The decrease in cash flows during the first quarter of 2005
largely resulted from a $276 million increase in finance receivable
originations, net of cash collections, and a $142 million reduction in proceeds
from receivable sales, including securitizations.
Cash flows provided (used) by financing activities were $265 million during
the first quarter of 2005, compared to $(320) million in the corresponding
period of 2004. The increase in cash flows during the first quarter of 2005
principally reflected a net increase in debt outstanding to fund asset growth.
The cash used by financing activities during the first quarter of 2004
principally reflected the use of cash proceeds generated from the sale of a
portfolio in December 2003 to pay down maturing debt.
Because the finance business involves the purchase and carrying of
receivables, a relatively high ratio of borrowings to net worth is customary.
Debt as a percentage of total capitalization was 84% at March 31, 2005, compared
to 82% at January 1, 2005. Textron Financial's ratio of earnings to fixed
charges was 1.71x for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to 1.79x
for the corresponding period in 2004. Commercial paper and Other short-term debt
as a percentage of total debt was 31% at March 31, 2005, compared to 27% at the
end of 2004.
During the first quarter of 2005, Textron Financial declared and paid
dividends to Textron of $99 million, compared to dividends declared and paid of
$59 million during the corresponding period of 2004. The increase in 2005 was
due to excess capital from liquidating non-core portfolios and increased
profitability. Textron contributed capital of $2 million to Textron Financial in
the first quarters of 2005 and 2004, which consisted of Textron's dividend on
the preferred stock of Textron Funding Corporation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Textron Financial sells finance receivables utilizing both securitizations
and whole-loan sales. As a result of these transactions, finance receivables are
removed from the Company's balance sheet and the proceeds received are used to
reduce the Company's recorded debt levels. Despite the reduction in the recorded
balance sheet position, the Company generally retains a subordinated interest in
the finance receivables sold through securitizations, which may affect operating
results through periodic fair value adjustments. The Company also sells
receivables in whole-loan sales in which it retains a continuing interest,
through limited credit
16
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
enhancement, in the form of a contingent liability related to finance receivable
credit losses and, to a lesser extent, prepayment risk.
The Company utilizes off-balance sheet financing arrangements (primarily
asset-backed securitizations) to further diversify the Company's funding
alternatives. These arrangements are an important source of funding that
provided net proceeds of $26 million and $174 million in the first quarter of
2005 and 2004, respectively. Textron Financial has used the proceeds from these
arrangements to fund the origination of new finance receivables and to retire
commercial paper. Gains related to these transactions amounted to $10 million in
the first quarter of 2005 and $13 million in the first quarter of 2004. Of the
$10 million of gains in the first quarter of 2005, $9 million were related to
the recurring finance receivable sales into the Distribution Finance revolving
securitization conduit, while $1 million was related to an increase in the
Resort Finance securitization conduit. Cash collections on current and prior
period securitization gains were $14 million and $12 million for the first
quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Managed Finance Receivables
Managed finance receivables consist of owned finance receivables, and
finance receivables that Textron Financial continues to service, but has sold in
securitizations or similar structures in which some risks of ownership are
retained. The managed finance receivables of our business segments are presented
in the following table.

------ ---- ------ ---- ----
Total managed finance receivables......... $8,380 100% $8,135 100% $245
====== ==== ====== ==== ====
Managed finance receivables within the core businesses increased $283
million, primarily as a result of growth in the private brands portfolio within
Distribution Finance. This increase was partially offset by higher collections,
net of new finance receivable originations, in the Resort Finance portfolio. The
decrease in the Other segment represents the continued portfolio collections of
the liquidating portfolios.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual finance receivables and repossessed
assets and properties. Textron Financial classifies receivables as nonaccrual
and suspends the recognition of earnings when accounts are contractually
delinquent by more than three months, unless collection of principal and
interest is not doubtful. In addition, earlier suspension may occur if Textron
Financial has significant doubt about the ability of the obligor to meet current
contractual terms. Doubt may be created by payment delinquency, reduction in the
obligor's cash flows, deterioration in the loan to collateral value relationship
or other relevant considerations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The following table sets forth certain information about nonperforming
assets and the related percentages of owned finance assets at March 31, 2005 and
January 1, 2005, by business segment.
MARCH 31, JANUARY 1,
2005 2005
------------- ------------
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)
Resort Finance....................................... $ 47 4.12% $ 53 4.44%
Golf Finance......................................... 21 1.83% 26 2.34%
Aircraft Finance..................................... 7 0.54% 12 0.96%
Asset-Based Lending.................................. 5 0.80% 7 1.17%

Other................................................ 53 12.66% 37 8.35%
---- ----
Total nonperforming assets........................... $136 2.01% $140 2.18%
==== ====
The Company believes that nonperforming assets generally will be in the
range of 2% to 4% of finance assets depending on economic conditions.
Nonperforming assets decreased $4 million in the first quarter of 2005 as
compared to year-end 2004. The core businesses showed significant improvement,
decreasing $20 million from year-end 2004 largely related to improved general
economic conditions, while the Other segment increased by $16 million. The
increase in the Other segment was primarily related to one customer in media
finance. Overall, the Company expects relative stability in portfolio quality
during 2005.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Textron Financial's mix of fixed and floating rate debt is continuously
monitored by management and is adjusted, as necessary, based on evaluations of
internal and external factors. Management's strategy of matching floating rate
assets with floating rate liabilities limits Textron Financial's risk to changes
in interest rates. This strategy includes the use of interest rate exchange
agreements. At March 31, 2005, floating rate liabilities in excess of floating
rate assets were $466 million, net of $2.3 billion of interest rate exchange
agreements on long-term debt and $164 million of interest rate exchange
agreements on finance receivables. Classified within fixed rate assets are $611
million of floating rate loans with index rate floors that are, on average, 40
basis points above the applicable index rate (predominately the Prime rate). As
a consequence, these assets are classified as fixed rate, and will remain so
until the Prime rate increases above the floor rates. The Company has benefited
from these interest rate floor agreements in the recent low rate environment.
However, in a rising rate environment, this benefit will dissipate until the
Prime rate exceeds the floor rates embedded in these agreements. In addition,
$516 million of floating rate receivables with index rate floors have been sold
into the Distribution Finance securitization conduit. Since this conduit issues
floating rate liabilities to investors, Textron Financial currently benefits, in
connection with the Company's ownership of the conduit's residual interest, from
the interest differential between the floor rates and the index rates. On
average, these securitized receivables have index rate floors that are 29 basis
points above the applicable index rate.
Management believes that its asset/liability management policy provides
adequate protection against interest rate risks. Increases in interest rates,
however, could have an adverse effect on interest margin. Variable rate finance
receivables are generally tied to changes in the Prime rate offered by major
U.S. banks. As a consequence, changes in short-term borrowing costs generally
precede changes in variable rate receivable yields. Textron Financial assesses
its exposure to interest rate changes using an analysis that measures the
potential loss in net income, over a twelve-month period, resulting from a
hypothetical change in interest rates of 100 basis points across all maturities
occurring at the outset of the measurement period (sometimes referred to as a
"shock test"). Textron Financial also assumes in its analysis that prospective
receivable additions will be match funded, existing portfolios will not prepay
and contractual maturities of both debt and assets will result in issuances or
reductions of commercial paper. This shock test model, when applied to
18
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Textron Financial's asset and liability position at March 31, 2005, indicates
that an increase in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a negative
impact on Textron Financial's net income and cash flows of $0.8 million for the
following twelve-month period.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Textron Financial's results are affected by changes in U.S. and, to a
lesser extent, foreign interest rates. As part of managing this risk, Textron
Financial enters into interest rate exchange agreements. Textron Financial's
objective of entering into such agreements is not to speculate for profit, but
generally to convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt and vice versa. The
overall objective of Textron Financial's interest rate risk management is to
achieve match-funding objectives. The fair values of interest rate exchange
agreements are recorded in either Other assets or Accrued interest and other
liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. These agreements do
not involve a high degree of complexity or risk.
Textron Financial manages its foreign currency exposure by funding most
foreign currency denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency. The
Company may enter into foreign currency exchange agreements to convert foreign
currency denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows into functional currency
denominated assets, liabilities and cash flows. In addition, as part of managing
its foreign currency exposure, Textron Financial may enter into foreign currency
forward exchange contracts. The objective of such agreements is to manage any
remaining foreign currency exposures to changes in currency rates. The notional
amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts were $7
million and $3 million at March 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. The
fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts are recorded in
either Other assets or Accrued interest and other liabilities on the Company's
Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the Company hedges all substantial foreign
currency exposures which could impact net income, likely future changes in
foreign currency rates would not have a significant impact on earnings.

REVENUES AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
A comparison of revenues and net interest margin is set forth in the

===== =====
Portfolio yield............................................. 7.43% 7.82%
Net interest margin as a percentage of average net
investment................................................ 6.30% 7.28%
Finance charges and discounts increased during the first quarter of 2005,
principally reflecting $787 million of higher average finance receivables ($15
million), partially offset by a reduction in discount earnings in Distribution
Finance ($4 million). The increase in average finance receivables was related to
core portfolio growth primarily in Golf Finance ($323 million), Distribution
Finance ($250 million), Resort Finance
19
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
($137 million), Aircraft Finance ($126 million), Asset-Based Lending ($126
million) and Structured Capital ($115 million), partially offset by liquidation
in non-core portfolios ($290 million). The decrease in other income was mostly
due to lower securitization gains in Aircraft Finance ($2 million) and
Distribution Finance ($1 million).
Net interest margin remained flat as compared to the first quarter of 2004.
The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $734 million increase in
the average debt outstanding, which was used to finance asset growth. The impact
of the higher interest rate environment was mostly offset by improved credit
spreads on new debt issuances. Net interest margin percentage decreased to
6.30%, as compared to 7.28% during the first quarter of 2004, primarily
attributable to the aforementioned decreases in discount earnings and other
income. In addition, net interest margin percentage was negatively impacted by
Prime rate increases, which reduced the benefit of loans with Prime rate floors.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
MARCH 31, MARCH 31,
2005 2004

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
managed and serviced finance receivables.................. 2.03% 1.88%
Operating efficiency ratio.................................. 51.1% 44.5%
The increase in selling and administrative expenses was attributable to
increased employee salaries and benefits expense ($4 million) and the
recognition of an asset impairment charge ($2 million) related to specialized
computer software in the Other segment. The increase in employee salaries and
benefits expense resulted from increased performance based compensation tied to
the Company's improved profitability and an increase in pension costs.

The decrease in the provision for losses during the first quarter of 2005
principally reflects an improvement in portfolio quality. Nonaccrual finance
receivables decreased $12 million to $107 million at March 31, 2005 from $119
million at January 1, 2005. In addition, the Company experienced lower net
charge-offs in both its core and non-core portfolios.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Although management believes it has made adequate provision for anticipated
losses, realization of these assets remains subject to uncertainties. Subsequent
evaluations of nonperforming assets, in light of factors then prevailing,
including economic conditions, may require additional increases or decreases in
the allowance for losses for such assets.

Distribution Finance segment income decreased in the first quarter of 2005
reflecting a lower net interest margin, an increase in provision for losses and
higher selling and administrative expenses. The decrease in net interest margin
was primarily due to a reduction in discount earnings ($4 million) and lower
securitization gains ($1 million). The increase in provision for losses was
mostly the result of growth in the portfolio during 2005, and a reduction in
reserving requirements for this segment during 2004.

Other segment loss increased during the first quarter of 2005 primarily
reflecting a lower net interest margin, higher selling and administrative

was mostly due to the liquidation of the portfolio and lower other income ($1
million). The increase in selling and administrative expenses was the result of
the recognition of an asset impairment charge ($2 million) related to
specialized computer software. The increase in provision for losses was largely
the result of a change in reserve requirements for the franchise finance
portfolio.
NET INCOME
Net income of $22 million for the first quarter of 2005 was $1 million, or
3%, higher than the corresponding period of 2004. The increase was due to a $8
million reduction in provision for losses as a result of improving portfolio
quality, partially offset by a $6 million increase in selling and administrative
expenses.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For information regarding Textron Financial's Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosure About Market Risk, see "Interest Rate Sensitivity" and "Financial
Risk Management" in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer (the "CEO") and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
(the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act")) as of the end of the
fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and
CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (b) such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, there was one change in
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On
January 2, 2005, the Company engaged a third-party service provider to assume
operational oversight and maintenance of its information technology
infrastructure. As of March 31, 2005, there has been no material change in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting related to this contract;
however, the transfer of operational oversight to the third-party service
provider is expected to result in material changes to the Company's internal
control over financial reporting related to its information technology
infrastructure later in 2005. We believe that we have taken appropriate actions
to ensure that effective internal controls over financial reporting will
continue to be maintained during the transition period.
