INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
PHH Corporation
Parsippany, New Jersey
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of PHH Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, as of March 31, 2003, the related consolidated condensed statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 5, 2003 (February 13, 2003 as to the subsequent event described in Note 20), we expressed an unqualified opinion (and included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the adoption of the non-amortization provisions for goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets and the modification of the accounting treatment relating to securitization transactions and the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements) on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unless otherwise noted, all amounts are in millions)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of PHH Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"). The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation ("Cendant"). Pursuant to certain covenant requirements in the indentures under which the Company issues debt, the Company
continues to operate and maintain its status as a separate public reporting entity. In management's opinion, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or
any subsequent interim period. In addition, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on
judgments and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period
presentation.
The Company segregates the financial data related to its management and mortgage programs as such activities are autonomous and distinct from the Company's other activities. Assets classified under management and mortgage programs are assets generated in the operations of the Company's vehicle management, relocation and mortgage services businesses. The Company seeks to offset the interest rate exposures inherent in these assets by matching them with financial liabilities that have similar term and interest rate characteristics. Fees generated from these assets are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Funding for the Company's assets under management and mortgage programs is also provided by both unsecured borrowings and asset-backed financing arrangements, which are classified as liabilities under management and mortgage programs, as well as securitization facilities with special purpose entities. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of the Company's management and mortgage programs.
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 5, 2003.
Changes in Accounting Policies
Stock-Based Compensation. Under Cendant's existing stock plans, CD common stock awards (including stock options,
stock appreciation rights,
restricted shares and restricted stock units) are granted to the Company's employees, including directors and officers of the Company. On January 1, 2003, Cendant adopted the fair value method
of accounting for stock-based compensation provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which is considered by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") to be the preferable accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Cendant also adopted SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosure," in its entirety on January 1, 2003.
Under the fair value method of accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123, Cendant is required to expense all employee stock options over their vesting period based upon the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Under SFAS No. 148, which amended SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
6
accounting provisions, Cendant elected to use the prospective transition method when adopting SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, Cendant is only required to expense employee stock options that were granted subsequent to December 31, 2002. Cendant will allocate compensation expense to the Company for all employee stock awards granted to the Company's employees subsequent to December 31, 2002. The expense will be based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and allocated over the vesting period. During first quarter 2003, Cendant did not allocate any compensation expense to the Company for employee stock awards as there were no such awards granted during the quarter.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Cendant measured its stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value approach under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, Cendant did not recognize compensation expense upon the issuance of its stock options because the option terms were fixed and the exercise price equaled the market price of the underlying CD common stock on the grant date. Therefore, the Company was not allocated compensation expense. The Company complied with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 by providing pro forma disclosures of net income giving consideration to the fair value method provisions of SFAS No. 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income as if the fair value based method had been applied to all employee stock awards granted by Cendant to the Company's employees prior to January 1, 2003:

1 | 6 | ||||
Pro forma net income | $ | 77 | $ | 37 | ||
Pro forma compensation expense reflected for prior period grants is not indicative of future compensation expense that would be recorded by the Company. Future expense may vary based upon factors such as the number of awards granted and the then-current fair market value of such awards.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Such standard requires costs associated with exit or disposal activities (including restructurings) initiated after December 31, 2002 to be recognized when the costs are incurred, rather than at a date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This standard nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Under SFAS No. 146, a liability related to an exit or disposal activity is not recognized until such liability has actually been incurred whereas under EITF Issue No. 94-3 a liability was recognized at the time of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan.
Guarantees. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," in its entirety. Such Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of any guarantee issued or modified after
7
December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The impact of adopting this Interpretation was not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued FASB
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). Such Interpretation addresses consolidation of entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the
residual economic risks and rewards. These entities have been commonly referred to as special purpose entities ("SPE"), although other non-SPE-type entities may be subject to
the Interpretation. This Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also requires disclosures
for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and other parties with significant variable interests in the entity. Transferors to a qualifying SPE ("QSPE") and certain other interests
in QSPEs are not subject to this Interpretation.
For variable interest entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, subsequent to January 31, 2003, the Company is required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately. The Company has not created a variable interest entity nor obtained an interest in a variable interest entity for which the Company would be required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately. For variable interest entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, on or before January 31, 2003, the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are first required to be applied in the Company's financial statements as of July 1, 2003. For these variable interest entities, the Company expects to apply the prospective transition method whereby the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment, if necessary, as of July 1, 2003.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this interpretation. Thus far, the Company has concluded that the adoption of this Interpretation will result in the consolidation of its mortgage securitization facility, Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust ("Bishop's Gate"), as of July 1, 2003. The consolidation of Bishop's Gate is not expected to affect the Company's results of operations. However, had the Company consolidated Bishop's Gate as of March 31, 2003, its total assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs would have each increased by approximately $2.0 billion. See Note 5Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements for more information regarding the Bishop's Gate mortgage securitization facility.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Such standard amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The provisions of this statement are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Amortization expense included within non-program related depreciation and amortization relating to all intangible assets excluding mortgage servicing rights (see Note 3Mortgage Servicing Activities) was $1 million for three months ended March 31, 2002. Such amortization expense was not material for three months ended March 31, 2003. Based on the Company's amortizable assets as of March 31, 2003, the Company expects related amortization expense for the remainder of 2003 and five succeeding fiscal years to approximate $2 million each period.
3. Mortgage Servicing Activities
The activity in the Company's residential first mortgage loan servicing portfolio consisted of:
|
Three Months Ended March 31, |
||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
2003 |
2002 |
|||||

Purchases, net | 2,533 | 982 | |||||
Balance, March 31, (*) | $ | 117,879 | $ | 100,834 | |||
Substantially all of the mortgage loans serviced by the Company were sold without recourse. However, approximately $2.0 billion (approximately 1.7%) of the Company's total servicing portfolio at March 31, 2003 were sold with recourse. The majority of such loans were sold under a program where the Company retains the credit risk for a limited period of time and only for a specific default event. For these loans, the Company accrues a provision (equal to the fair value of the recourse obligation) for expected losses. As of March 31, 2003, the provision approximated $3 million and was recorded as a component of accounts payable and other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. There was no significant activity that would cause the Company to utilize this provision in the first quarter of 2003. The Company believes that this provision is adequate to cover expected losses and that such losses would not be material to its results of operations.

The weighted average note rate on all the underlying mortgages serviced by the Company as of March 31, 2003 and 2002 was 5.93% and 6.70%, respectively.
The activity in the Company's capitalized mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") asset consisted of:

As of March 31, 2003, the Company expects MSR amortization expense for the remainder of 2003 and the five succeeding fiscal years to approximate $250 million, $290 million, $230 million, $200 million, $180 million and $160 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2003, the MSR portfolio had a weighted average life of approximately 4.6 years.
The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the impact that accelerated prepayments have on the fair value of its MSR asset. Such derivatives, which are primarily designated as fair value hedging instruments, tend to increase in value as interest rates decline and conversely decline in value as interest rates increase. The activity in the Company's derivatives related to mortgage servicing rights asset consisted of:
|
Three Months Ended March 31, |

Sales/proceeds received or paid | (279 | ) | (74 | ) | |||
Balance, March 31, | $ | 224 | $ | 90 | |||
The net impact of the changes in fair value of the Company's MSR asset after giving effect to the changes in fair value of the related derivatives was a gain of $63 million during first quarter 2003 and a loss of $6 million during first quarter 2002. During first quarter 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded $61 million and $31 million, respectively, of impairment through the MSR valuation allowance. Such amounts are included within net revenues in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

5. Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
In addition to the Company's on-balance sheet borrowings, the Company sells specific assets under management and mortgage programs. The Company sells relocation receivables to Apple Ridge Funding LLC ("Apple Ridge"), a bankruptcy remote QSPE, in exchange for cash. The Company also sells mortgage loans originated by our mortgage business into the secondary market, which is customary practice in the mortgage industry. Such mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market primarily through one of the following means: (i) the direct sale to a government-sponsored entity, (ii) through capacity under a subsidiary's public registration statement (which approximated $856 million as of March 31, 2003) or (iii) through Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust, an unaffiliated bankruptcy remote SPE. Presented below is detailed information for each of the SPEs the Company utilizes in off-balance sheet financing and sale arrangements as of March 31, 2003.

6. Commitments and Contingencies
The June 1999 disposition of the Company's fleet businesses was structured as a tax-free reorganization and, accordingly, no tax provision was recorded on a majority of the gain. However, pursuant to an interpretive ruling, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has taken the position that similarly structured transactions do not qualify as tax-free reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a)(1)(A). If the transaction is not considered a tax-free reorganization, the resultant incremental liability could range between $10 million and $170 million depending upon certain factors, including utilization of tax attributes. Notwithstanding the IRS interpretive ruling, the Company believes that, based upon analysis of current tax law, its position would prevail, if challenged.
The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
7. Stockholder's Equity
On January 1, 2003, Cendant transferred the mortgage operations (with net assets of $11 million) of a recently acquired real estate brokerage business to the Company. Such transfer was recorded by the Company as a component of stockholder's equity and is presented within the common stock line item. During the first quarter 2003, the Company paid dividends of $35 million to Cendant. Such dividends were recorded by the Company as a reduction to retained earnings.
The components of comprehensive income are summarized as follows:

8. Related Party Transactions
The Company participates in acquisitions made by NRT Incorporated ("NRT"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cendant, by acquiring mortgage operations of the real estate brokerage firms acquired by NRT. Reflected within the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income for first quarter 2003 and 2002 are real estate referral fees of $8 million and $7 million, respectively. These fees are customary as they are paid to the Company by all real estate brokerages (both affiliates and non-affiliates) who receive referrals from the Company's relocation business.
9. Segment Information
Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as earnings before income taxes and non-program related depreciation and amortization. On January 1, 2003, the Company changed its performance measure used in evaluating the operating results of its reportable segments and, as such, the information presented below for first quarter 2002 has been revised to reflect this change. The Company's presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Presented below is the revenue and EBITDA for each of the Company's reportable segments.

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions.
We are a provider of relocation, mortgage and fleet management services. Our Real Estate Services segment provides homebuyers with mortgages and facilitates employee relocations and our Fleet Management Services segment provides fleet management and fuel card services to corporate clients and government agencies.
The majority of our businesses operate in environments where we are paid a fee for a service performed. Therefore, the results of the majority of our recurring operations are recorded in our financial statements using accounting policies that are not particularly subjective, nor complex. However, in presenting our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Several of the estimates and assumptions that we are required to make pertain to matters that are inherently uncertain as they relate to future events. Presented within the section entitled "Critical Accounting Policies" of our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K are the accounting policies that we believe require subjective and complex judgments that could potentially affect reported results (mortgage servicing rights, retained interests from securitizations, financial instruments and goodwill and other intangible assets). There have not been any significant changes to those accounting policies nor to our assessment of which accounting policies we would consider to be critical accounting policies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONSFIRST QUARTER 2003 V. FIRST QUARTER 2002
Discussed below are the results of operations for each of our reportable segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of our reportable segments based upon revenue and "EBITDA," which is defined as earnings before income taxes and non-program related depreciation and amortization. On January 1, 2003, we changed our performance measure used in evaluating the operating results of our reportable segments and, as such, the information presented below for first quarter 2002 has been revised to reflect this change. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Real Estate Services
Revenues and EBITDA increased $123 million (49%) and $55 million (87%), respectively, in first quarter 2003 compared with 2002.
Revenues from mortgage-related activities grew $124 million (86%) in first quarter 2003 compared with 2002 due to a significant increase in mortgage loan production resulting from continued historically low interest rates and increased revenues from our servicing operations. Revenues from mortgage loan production increased $110 million (61%) due to a 58% increase in the volume of loans that we packaged and sold, as well as growth in our fee-based mortgage origination operations (discussed below). We sold $12.7 billion of mortgage loans in first quarter 2003 compared with $8.5 billion in first quarter 2002, generating incremental production revenues of $79 million. In addition, production revenues generated from our fee-based mortgage origination activity increased $31 million (68%) as compared with first quarter 2002. Production fee income on fee-based loans is generated at the time of closing, whereas originated mortgage loans held for sale generate revenues at the time of sale (typically 30-60 days after closing). Accordingly, our production revenue in first quarter 2003 was driven by a mix of mortgage loans closed and mortgage loans sold. Mortgage loans closed increased $5.2 billion (42%) to $17.8 billion in first quarter 2003, comprised of a $4.5 billion increase (58%) in closed loans to be securitized (sold by us) and a $764 million increase (16%) in closed loans that were fee-based. The increase in loan origination volume was principally driven by substantial refinancing activity during first quarter 2003. Refinancings increased $4.6 billion (63%) to $11.8 billion and purchase mortgage closings grew $679 million (13%) to $6.1 billion. Additionally, our margin on securitized loans (production revenues divided by the principal amount of loans sold) increased from prior year levels.
Net revenues from servicing mortgage loans increased $5 million, which was driven by a $16.6 billion (17%) quarter-over-quarter increase in the average servicing portfolio. Net servicing revenues also included an additional $73 million of increased mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") amortization and provision for impairment due to the high levels of refinancings and related loan prepayments, resulting from a lower interest rate environment. However, this was substantially offset by $69 million of incremental gains from hedging and other derivative activities to protect against changes in the fair value of MSRs due to fluctuations in interest rates. Operating and administrative expenses within this segment increased $69 million, primarily due to the continued high level of mortgage loan production and related servicing activities.
Fleet Management
Revenues and EBITDA increased $14 million (4%) and $5 million (21%), respectively in first quarter 2003 compared with 2002 reflecting strong growth in our Wright Express fuel card business, which contributed incremental revenues of $10 million in first quarter 2003 compared with 2002 due to increased gasoline prices as Wright Express earns a percentage of the total gas purchased by its clients. The impact on EBITDA was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses to support a greater volume of cards.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We purchase assets or finance the purchase of assets on behalf of our clients. Assets generated in this process are classified as assets under management and mortgage programs. We seek to offset the interest rate exposures inherent in these assets by matching them with financial liabilities that have similar term and interest rate characteristics. As a result, we minimize the interest rate risk associated with managing these assets and create greater certainty around the financial income that they produce. Fees generated from our clients are used, in part, to repay the interest and principal associated with the financial liabilities. Funding for our assets under management and mortgage programs is also provided by both unsecured borrowings and asset-backed financing arrangements, which are classified
16
as liabilities under management and mortgage programs, as well as securitization facilities with special purpose entities. Cash inflows and outflows relating to the generation or acquisition of assets and the principal debt repayment or financing of such assets are classified as activities of our management and mortgage programs. We believe that it is appropriate to segregate our assets under management and mortgage programs and our liabilities under management and mortgage programs separately from the assets and liabilities of the rest of our businesses because, ultimately, the source of repayment of such liabilities is the realization of such assets.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand and our ability to generate cash through operations and financing activities, as well as available credit and securitization facilities, each of which is discussed below.
Cash Flows
At March 31, 2003, we had $73 million of cash on hand, an increase of $43 million from $30 million at December 31, 2002. The following table summarizes such increase:

Effects of exchange rate changes | (2 | ) | 1 | (3 | ) | ||||||
Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 43 | $ | 2 | $ | 41 | |||||
During first quarter 2003, we generated $59 million of additional cash from operating activities as compared to 2002. This change principally reflects greater contributions from our mortgage business despite a decrease in net cash inflows provided by mortgage origination and sale activity due to a timing difference on the receipt of proceeds from the sales of loans originated.
During first quarter 2003, we used $207 million less cash for investing activities compared to 2002. This change primarily represents a net decrease of $142 million in cash used in management and mortgage program investing activities, which primarily resulted from greater cash inflows from derivative contracts used to manage the interest rate risk inherent in our MSR asset. We also received proceeds of $64 million in first quarter 2003 on the sale of real estate, which resulted from our foreclosure on certain mortgages classified outside of assets under management and mortgage programs. We used more cash for capital expenditures to support operational growth, enhance marketing opportunities and develop operating efficiencies through technological improvements. We continue to anticipate aggregate capital expenditure investments for 2003 to be approximately $65 million.
We used $222 million more cash in financing activities during first quarter 2003 compared to 2002. This change primarily represents a net increase of $99 million in cash used in management and mortgage program financing activities, primarily related to a net decrease in borrowings repaid during first quarter 2003. In addition, during first quarter 2003, we used $35 million of cash to pay a dividend to Cendant and we used an additional $88 million of cash in connection with intercompany funding activities with Cendant.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
In addition to our on-balance sheet borrowings, we sell specific assets under management and mortgage programs. We sell relocation receivables to Apple Ridge Funding LLC, a bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose entity, in exchange for cash. We also sell mortgage loans originated by our mortgage business into the secondary market, which is customary practice in the mortgage industry. Such mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market primarily through one of the following means: (i) the direct sale to a government-sponsored entity, (ii) through capacity under a subsidiary's public registration statement (which approximated $856 million as of March 31, 2003) or (iii) through Bishop's Gate Residential Mortgage Trust, an unaffiliated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity.

Our liquidity position may be negatively affected by unfavorable conditions in any one of the industries in which we operate. Additionally, our liquidity as it relates to both management and mortgage programs, could be adversely affected by deterioration in the performance of the underlying assets of such programs. Our liquidity as it relates to mortgage programs is highly dependent on the secondary markets for mortgage loans. Access to certain of our securitization facilities and our ability to act as servicer thereto also may be limited in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded below investment grade and, in certain circumstances, where we fail to meet certain financial ratios. However, we do not believe that our credit ratings are likely to fall below such thresholds. Additionally, we monitor the maintenance of these financial ratios and as of March 31, 2003, we were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities. When securitizing assets under management and mortgage programs, we make representations and warranties customary to the securitization markets, including eligibility characteristics of the assets transferred and servicing responsibilities.
Currently our credit ratings are as follows:
|
Moody's Investor Service |
Standard & Poor's |
Fitch Ratings |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Senior debt | Baa1 | BBB+ | BBB+ | |||
Short-term debt | P-2 | A-2 | F-2 |
Our credit ratings, with the exception to those assigned to our short-term debt, are currently on negative outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
As of March 31, 2003, our future contractual obligations have not changed significantly from the amounts reported within our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any changes to our obligations related to debt under management and mortgage programs are presented above within the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital ResourcesFinancial Obligations" and also within Note 4 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Changes in Accounting Policies
On January 1, 2003, we adopted the following standards:
For more detailed information regarding these changes in accounting policies, see Note 1 to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
On January 17, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Such Interpretation addresses
consolidation of entities
that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. These entities have been commonly referred to as special
purpose entities ("SPE"), although other non-SPE-type entities may be subject to the Interpretation. This Interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable
interest entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. It also requires disclosures for both the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and other parties with
significant variable interests in the entity. Transferors to a qualified special purpose entity ("QSPE") and certain other interests in QSPEs are not subject to this Interpretation.
21
For variable interest entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, subsequent to January 31, 2003, we are required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately. We have not created a variable interest entity nor obtained an interest in a variable interest entity for which we would be required to apply the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation immediately. For variable interest entities created, or interests in variable interest entities obtained, on or before January 31, 2003, the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are first required to be applied in our financial statements as of July 1, 2003. For these variable interest entities, we expect to apply the prospective transition method whereby the consolidation provisions of this Interpretation are applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment, if necessary, as of July 1, 2003.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Interpretation. Thus far, we have concluded that the adoption of this Interpretation will result in the consolidation of the Bishop's Gate mortgage securitization facility, as of July 1, 2003. The consolidation of Bishop's Gate is not expected to affect our results of operations. However, had we consolidated Bishop's Gate as of March 31, 2003, our total assets and liabilities under management and mortgage programs would have each increased by approximately $2.0 billion.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Such
standard amends and clarifies
the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The provisions of this statement are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. We are in the process of assessing the
impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As previously discussed in our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we assess our market risk based on changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values, and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change (increase and decrease) in our market risk sensitive positions. We used March 31, 2003 market rates to perform a sensitivity analysis separately for each of our market risk exposures. The estimates assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest rate yield curves and exchange rates. We have determined, through such analyses, that the impact of a 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates and prices on our earnings, fair values and cash flows and that the impact of a 10% change in interest rates on our fair values and cash flows would not be material. The potential impact on earnings resulting from a 10% increase and decrease in interest rates was a loss of $41 million and a gain of $20 million, respectively. While these results may be used as benchmarks, they should not be viewed as forecasts.
