In the third quarter of 2000, we implemented certain strategic organizational
refinements, which are reflected on a year to date basis in the table above, to
better align marketing and risk management efforts and to further improve
operating efficiencies and returns. Certain North American business lines of
Vendor Technology Finance were transferred to the Equipment Financing business
unit. The communications and media product lines previously with Equipment
Financing have been transferred to Structured Finance and Equity Investments now
operates as part of Structured Finance. Included in the Corporate results are
goodwill amortization as well as normal overhead expenses. Prior year Corporate
results also included Equity Investments.
Note 5 - Newcourt Acquisition
On November 15, 1999, CIT acquired Newcourt, a publicly traded non-bank
financial services enterprise, which originated, invested in and securitized,
syndicated and sold asset-based loans and leases. The acquisition of Newcourt
has been accounted for using the purchase method. The difference between the
purchase price and the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to
goodwill in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

* 1999 pro forma results include the following: a disposal of two automotive
leasing units resulting in a $34.3 million pre-tax gain, $15.5 million
after-tax and $0.06 pro forma EPS and a non-recurring gain from the
extinguishment of certain derivative instruments by Newcourt of $56.6 million
pretax, $31.1 million after tax and $0.12 pro forma EPS.
The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are
based on the historical operating results of Newcourt prior to the acquisition.
The pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily to recognize
accretion and amortization based on the allocated purchase price of assets and
liabilities. However, the 1999 results do not include cost savings, reduced
securitization activity and other initiatives contemplated by CIT in connection
with the acquisitions. Accordingly, management does not believe that the 1999
pro forma results are indicative of the actual results that would have occurred
had the acquisition closed at the beginning of the year.
Note 7 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS 137 delayed the
implementation of SFAS No. 133, which is now effective for all fiscal quarters
of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. During June 2000, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133."
10
<PAGE>
THE CIT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have completed the initial analysis of the impact of SFAS 138 and are in the
process of implementing systems capabilities to account for derivatives under
this new standard. We do not expect the implementation in 2001 of SFAS 138 to be
material to either the statement of financial position or the results of
operations.
During September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities--a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 125". SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after March 31, 2001, and is effective for recognition and reclassification of
collateral and for disclosures for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
This Statement revised the standards for accounting for securitizations and
other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires additional
disclosures. It carries forward most of the provisions of SFAS 125 without
change. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to affect the accounting
for, or the structure of, our securitization transactions.

The earnings per share above reflect higher 2000 earnings offset by the dilutive
effect of stock issued in connection with the November 15, 1999 acquisition of
Newcourt. Compared to the prior year, the third quarter and nine-month 2000
earnings reflect growth from our 1999 acquisition activities, solid fee and
other income generation, as well as considerable expense savings related to our
operational integrations. The declines from 1999 reflect narrower net finance
margins and higher expense levels associated with the 1999 acquisitions.
Earnings, as well as return on AEA and return on equity, have improved in each
successive quarter of 2000.
New business origination volume, excluding factoring volume, for the third
quarter of 2000 was $6.1 billion, unchanged from the second quarter of 2000, and
an increase from $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 1999 due primarily to the
Newcourt acquisition.
Total managed assets increased to $54.6 billion at September 30, 2000, up 2.4%
from $53.4 billion at June 30, 2000 and up 6.2% from $51.4 billion at year-end.
Growth in equipment financing and seasonal growth in factoring were somewhat
offset by continued sales of non-strategic assets totaling over $300
13
<PAGE>
million in the third quarter, and approximately $900 million year to date.
Commercial managed assets were $47.3 billion at September 30, 2000, up from
$46.1 billion at June 30, 2000 and $44.2 billion at December 31, 1999. Consumer
managed assets were $7.3 billion at September 30, 2000 compared to $7.2 billion
at June 30, 2000 and unchanged from December 31, 1999. Total portfolio assets
increased to $43.8 billion from $42.6 billion at June 30, 2000 and from $40.4
billion at year-end 1999.

Net finance margin increased 69.8% to $370.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from the same period in 1999, and was up $11.3 million, or
3.1%, over the second quarter of 2000. The year over year increase primarily
reflects growth in financing assets due to our 1999 acquisitions and internally
generated portfolio growth. Net finance margin for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 increased $434.1 million or 67.3% from the same period in
1999. As a percentage of AEA, net finance margin declined to 3.61% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 from 3.66% in the third quarter of 1999, but was
up from 3.53% for the second quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, net finance margin as a percentage of AEA declined to 3.57%
from 3.70% for the same period in 1999. The year over year comparisons reflect
several factors including rising market interest rates, wider debt pricing
spreads, competitive product pricing, and the growing operating lease portfolio.
Our operating leases, which generally have lower net margins than finance
receivables at inception, also generate equipment gains, renewal fees and tax
depreciation benefits. The improvement in net finance margin as a percentage of
AEA from the second quarter of 2000 reflects the more stable interest rate
environment and the impact of pricing initiatives in the acquired businesses.
Finance income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $742.7
million, or 127.2%, from the third quarter 1999 and $24.8 million from the
second quarter of 2000. Finance income for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2000 increased $2,177.4 million, or 129.6%, from the same period in 1999. As
a percentage of AEA, finance income (excluding interest income relating to
short-term interest-bearing deposits) was 12.70% for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2000, compared to 9.60% for the same quarter of 1999 and 12.53%
for the second quarter of 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, finance income (excluding interest income relating to short-term
interest-bearing deposits) as a percentage of AEA was 12.56% and 9.50%,
respectively. The year over year increase in yield was due to product mix change
primarily as a result of the fourth quarter 1999 Newcourt acquisition.
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased $338.6
million, or 111.3%, from the third quarter 1999 and $11.8 million from June 30,
2000, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, increased $987.3
million, or 115.0%, from the same period in 1999. As a percentage of AEA,
interest expense (excluding interest expense relating to short-term
interest-bearing deposits and dividends related to the Company's preferred
capital securities) for the third quarter of 2000 increased to 6.04% from 4.90%
for the September 30, 1999 period and 5.93% for the June 30, 2000 period, and
increased to 5.90% from 4.78% for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively. The increases from the second to third quarters of
2000 and from the comparable
15
<PAGE>
periods of 1999 reflect the rising interest rate environment in the latter half
of 1999, which continued into 2000.
The operating lease equipment portfolio was $6.8 billion at September 30, 2000
versus $6.1 billion at December 31, 1999 and $3.7 billion at September 30, 1999.
Operating lease margin (rental income less depreciation expense as a percentage
of average operating leases) for the third quarter of 2000 was 7.2%, up from
6.9% in the second quarter of 2000 and relatively unchanged from the prior year
third quarter, while the nine-month periods were 7.5% and 6.9% for 2000 and
1999, respectively. Depreciation on operating lease equipment for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000 was $313.4 million, up from $61.6 million for the same
period in 1999 and $311.7 million for the second quarter of 2000, and for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, depreciation was $932.9 million, up from
$176.9 million in the same period in 1999. As a percentage of average operating
leases, depreciation expense, on an annualized basis, was 20.8% and 7.2% at
September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively. The year over year
increases in operating lease margin and depreciation reflects the acquired
Newcourt portfolios, which include shorter-term assets with higher margins and
more rapid depreciable lives.
We seek to mitigate interest rate risk by matching the repricing characteristics
of our assets with our liabilities, which is done in part through the use of
derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps. The notional
amounts of interest rate swaps were $14,145.2 million at September 30, 2000,
reflecting our current strategy to hedge available for sale and securitized
receivables, interim hedging in advance of large, less frequent fixed rate
financing and to reduce funding costs by issuing floating rate debt and swapping
it into fixed rate. See "Liquidity Risk Management" for further discussion. A
comparative analysis of the weighted average principal outstanding and interest
rates paid on our debt before and after the effect of interest rate swaps is
shown in the following table.

The weighted average composite interest rate after swaps in each of the periods
presented increased from the composite interest rate before swaps primarily
because a larger proportion of our debt, after giving effect to interest rate
swaps, was subject to a fixed interest rate. However, the weighted average
interest rates before swaps do not necessarily reflect the interest expense that
would have been incurred had we chosen to manage interest rate risk without the
use of such swaps.

OTHER (NON-SPREAD) REVENUE
Other revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 totaled $224.2
million, compared to $81.9 million for the third quarter of 1999 and $232.3
million for the June 30, 2000 quarter. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, other revenue totaled $694.7 million and $221.4 million,
respectively. These year over year increases reflect the broadened and more
diversified revenue sources from the acquired Newcourt business units.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The growth in fees and other income reflects fees associated with the acquired
Newcourt businesses, including strong joint venture revenues, syndication and
structuring fees, as well as gains from consumer whole loan sales. Factoring
commissions, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,
increased reflecting higher internally generated origination volume and the 1999
acquisitions. Securitization gains were $26.9 million or 10.7% of pretax income
versus $23.0 million or 9.4% of pretax income for the second quarter of 2000,
and no securitization gain activity for the same period in 1999. Gains on
equipment sales, while above the prior year quarter, were below the second
quarter, which included particularly strong gains in the Equipment Financing and
Leasing segment. Gains of $11.7 million for the third quarter and $59.8 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were realized on a number of
venture capital investments, including a sizeable first quarter transaction.
SALARIES AND GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Salaries and general operating expenses totaled $250.2 million for the third
quarter of 2000, up from $110.2 million in the comparable 1999 period, but down
$7.3 million from the second quarter of 2000 due to continued realization of
integration benefits. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000,
salaries and general operating expenses increased to $775.9 million from $324.0
for the same period in 1999. The year over year increases reflect increased
personnel and facilities due to the 1999
18
<PAGE>
acquisitions and normal expense increases. Although up from the prior year
quarter and nine months, third quarter 2000 expense levels reflect annualized
run rate savings in excess of our original $150 million integration related
expense reduction target. Expense savings to date are primarily from the
elimination of duplicate corporate overhead and consolidation of non-revenue
department activities, as well as savings from the consolidation of certain
servicing centers and real estate cost reductions. Headcount was 7,300 at
quarter end, down 955 from December 31, 1999 and 100 from June 30, 2000.
Management monitors productivity via the efficiency ratio and the ratio of
salaries and general operating expenses to average managed assets ("AMA"). These
ratios are set forth in the following table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

expenses as a percentage of AMA 1.96% 1.65% 2.03% 2.03% 1.66%
</TABLE>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The decrease in expenses as noted above reduced the two ratios from the second
quarter 2000 levels. The higher 2000 ratios, when compared to 1999, reflect the
acquired Vendor Technology Finance operations, which carry significantly higher
expense ratios. Management targets an efficiency ratio below 40.0%.
GOODWILL AMORTIZATION
Goodwill amortization was $22.7 million and $63.8 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, versus $4.9 million and $13.1 million for the
same periods in 1999. These increases reflect the impact of the 1999
acquisitions of Newcourt, and the factoring operations of Heller and Congress,
each of which were accounted for under the purchase method.
Incremental exit costs associated with restructuring activities, designed to
further improve efficiency and profitability, which were contemplated in CIT's
integration plan, would be reflected as goodwill adjustments in the fourth
quarter of 2000 to the extent applicable. We do not believe such adjustments, if
any, would be material.

RESERVE AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES/CREDIT QUALITY
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 $468.2 million (1.37% of finance receivables) at
September 30, 2000 from $460.3 million (1.39% of finance receivables) at June
30, 2000, $446.9 million (1.44% of finance receivables) at December 31, 1999 and
$283.8 million (1.33% of finance receivables) at September 30, 1999 due to
portfolio growth for the first nine months and the 1999 acquisitions. The
decline in the reserve ratio from the second quarter is due to mix changes in
the portfolio, as well as seasonal factoring receivable growth. The relationship
of the reserve for credit losses to non-accrual finance receivables was 72.7% at
September 30, 2000 compared to 73.6% at June 30, 2000 and 87.6% at December 31,
1999.
The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2000 was $65.8 million,
up from $32.2 million in the third quarter of 1999 and $64.0 million for the
second quarter of 2000, reflecting higher 2000 net credit losses over 1999
levels and provisions for portfolio growth.
Net credit losses were stable at $61.9 million (0.74% of average finance
receivables) for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to $60.7 million
(0.73% of average finance receivables) for the second quarter of 2000. Net
credit losses for the third quarter last year were $25.3 million (0.48% of
average finance receivables). For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, net credit losses were $175.5 million (0.71%) and $67.5 million (0.44%),
respectively. The increase in net credit losses from 1999 to 2000 as a
percentage of average finance receivables reflects product mix changes due to
the 1999 acquisitions.

* The September 2000 balances and percentages reflect the transfer,
retroactively back to January 1, 2000, of certain business lines from Vendor
Technology Finance to Equipment Financing and Leasing Segment made during
the third quarter.
Commercial net credit losses were relatively stable during the third quarter in
relation to the second quarter 2000, 0.67% versus 0.64%, whereas consumer net
credit losses declined to 1.21% from 1.34%. Year over year, commercial net
credit losses for the quarter were up from 0.31% in 1999 to 0.67% due mainly to
higher charge-offs in Equipment Financing and Leasing (due primarily to asset
transfers from Vendor Technology Finance) and Commercial Finance and to the
addition of Vendor Technology Finance. Consumer net credit losses were 1.21%
compared to 1.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily due to higher losses in the manufactured housing
portfolio. Equipment Financing and Leasing net credit losses increased primarily
due to the transfer of
21
<PAGE>
assets from the acquired Newcourt portfolios. The increase in Commercial Finance
net credit losses, for the nine months over 1999, was primarily due to
write-offs associated with a food wholesaler.
PAST DUE AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

included in Vendor Technology Finance. Additionally, the 1999 amounts and
ratios do not reflect integration related portfolio transfers between
Vendor Technology Finance, Structured Finance and Equipment Financing and
Leasing.
(2) For these calculations, certain finance receivables held for sale and the
associated past due and non-performing balances are included.
(3) The September 2000 balances and percentages reflect the transfer of
certain business lines from Vendor Technology Finance to Equipment
Financing and Leasing Segment made during the third quarter. The June 30,

The third quarter trends in commercial past due and non-performing accounts
reflect improvements in collection activities at the servicing centers
consolidated earlier in the year. The increased level of delinquency and
non-performing assets from June 30, 2000 for Equipment Financing and Leasing, as
well as the corresponding decreases for Vendor Technology Finance, were largely
the result of the transfer of
22

certain business lines from Vendor Technology Finance to Equipment Financing and
Leasing in July 2000.

37.8% and 34.5%, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, the effective income tax rates were 38.0% and 34.7%,
respectively. The increase in the 2000 effective tax rate was primarily due to
nondeductible goodwill amortization.
FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS
Our managed assets increased 2.4% from June 30, 2000 to $54.6 billion at
September 30, 2000, while total portfolio assets increased 2.8% to $43.8 billion
this quarter, due to seasonal growth in factoring receivables approximating $600
million partially offset by planned sales of non-strategic portfolios totaling
over $300 million.
The managed assets of our business segments and the corresponding strategic
business units are presented in the following table.

Our financing and leasing asset portfolio in the United States is diversified by
state. At September 30, 2000, with the exception of California (10.8%), Texas
(8.1%), and New York (6.8%), no state represented more than 4.8% of financing
and leasing assets. Our managed asset geographic composition did not
significantly differ from our December 31, 1999 managed asset geographic
composition.
Financing and leasing assets to foreign obligors totaled $7.1 billion at
September 30, 2000. Following Canada, $2.3 billion (5.3% of financing and
leasing assets), the largest foreign exposures were England, $1.2 billion
(2.7%), and Australia, $389.3 million (0.9%). Our remaining foreign exposure was
geographically dispersed, with no other individual country exposure greater than
0.8% of financing and leasing assets.
Financing and leasing assets to foreign obligors totaled $7.7 billion at

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity risk refers to the risk of CIT being unable to meet potential cash
outflows promptly and cost effectively. Factors that could cause such a risk to
arise might be a disruption of a securities market or other source of funds. We
actively manage and mitigate liquidity risk by maintaining diversified sources
of funding. The primary funding sources are commercial paper (U.S., Canada and
Australia), medium-term notes (U.S., Canada and Europe) and asset-backed
securities (U.S. and Canada). During the quarter, we issued $1.4 billion of
variable rate term debt and $1.0 billion of fixed rate term debt. Consistent
with our prior practice, a portion of the variable rate debt was effectively
converted into fixed rate debt via interest rate swaps for asset liability
management reasons. We also maintain committed bank lines of credit aggregating
$8.4 billion to provide backstop support of commercial paper borrowings and
approximately $212 million of local bank lines to support our international
operations. Additional sources of liquidity are loan and lease payments from
customers and whole-loan sales, syndications and asset-backed receivable
conduits. At September 30, 2000, $11.9 billion of registered, but unissued, debt
27
<PAGE>
securities remained available under shelf registration statements, including
$2.0 billion of European Medium-Term Notes.
To ensure uninterrupted access to capital, at October 31, 2000, we maintained
strong investment grade ratings as outlined below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short Term Long Term
---------- ---------
Moody's P-1 A1
Standard & Poor's A-1 A+
Fitch F-1 A+
Dominion Bond Rating Service R-1 (mid) A (mid)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of our continuing program of accessing the public and private
asset-backed securitization markets as an additional liquidity source, general
equipment finance receivables of $2,925.0 million were securitized ($1,331.3
million in the third quarter) during the first three quarters of 2000. At
September 30, 2000, we had $2.5 billion of registered, but unissued, securities
available under public shelf registration statements relating to our
asset-backed securitization program.
We also target and monitor certain liquidity metrics to ensure both a balanced
liability profile and adequate alternate liquidity availability. Among the
target ratios are commercial paper as a percentage of total debt and committed
bank line coverage of outstanding commercial paper.
