Navistar International Transportation Corp.
and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note A. Summary of Accounting Policies
Navistar International Transportation Corp., hereafter referred
to as "the company" and "Transportation" is the wholly owned
subsidiary of Navistar International Corporation, hereafter referred
to as "Parent Company." The consolidated financial statements
include the results of Transportation's manufacturing operations and
its wholly owned financial services subsidiaries. The effects of
transactions between the manufacturing and financial services
operations have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated
totals.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the
1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction
with the disclosures therein.
In the opinion of management, these interim financial
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the
full year. Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation used in the 1997 financial statements.
Note B. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Consolidated interest payments during the first six months of
1997 and 1996 were $79 million and $82 million, respectively.
Note C. Income Taxes
The Parent Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax
return which includes Transportation and its U.S. subsidiaries.
Transportation has a tax allocation agreement (Tax Agreement) with
the Parent Company, which requires Transportation to compute its
separate federal income tax expense based on its adjusted book
income. Any resulting tax liability is paid to the Parent Company.
In addition, under the Tax Agreement, Transportation is required to
pay to the Parent Company any tax payments received from its
subsidiaries. The effect of the Tax Agreement is to allow the
Parent Company rather than Transportation to utilize U.S. operating
losses and loss carryforwards (NOLs) generated in earlier years.

Note D. Receivables
On January 1, 1997, Transportation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities," for all applicable transactions. As a result, certain
1997 balance sheet items have been reclassified. Restatement of
prior periods is not permitted. The new standard did not have a
material effect on Transportation's net income or financial
position.

Note F. Financial Instruments
During March through April 1997, Navistar Financial Corporation
(NFC) entered into $500 million of forward interest rate lock
agreements on a U.S. Treasury security maturing in 1999 related to
NFC's May 1997 sale of retail receivables. These hedge agreements
were closed in conjunction with the pricing of the sale. The loss,
which was not material, was deferred at April 30, 1997, and included
in the gain on the sale of $500 million of retail notes in May 1997.
In April 1997, NFC entered into a $100 million forward interest
rate lock agreement on a U.S. Treasury security maturing in 2002
related to NFC's May 1997 subordinated debt issue. The hedge
agreement was closed in conjunction with the pricing of the
subordinated debt, and the loss, which was not material, will be
amortized over the life of the subordinated debt.
In May 1997, NFC entered into a $50 million forward starting
swap agreement on a U.S. Treasury security maturing in 1999 related
to NFC's anticipated November 1997 sale of retail receivables. This
swap agreement starts on October 31, 1997 and NFC intends to sell
this position in October 1997 on the pricing date of the sale. The
gain or loss which will result from the swap transaction will be
included in the gain or loss recognized on the sale of receivables.

Note F. Financial Instruments (continued)
During May 1997, NFC sold $100 million of Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2002. NFC used the net proceeds to repurchase $6 million
of its outstanding 1998 Notes and to reduce outstanding indebtedness
under the Bank Revolving Credit Facility.
Note G. Environmental Matters
In the fourth quarter of 1994, Transportation recorded a charge
for potential clean-up costs related to two formerly owned
businesses, Wisconsin Steel and Solar Turbines, Inc. (Solar), as
disclosed in Note 4 to Transportation's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In March 1997, the U.S. Department of Justice and
Transportation approved the final consent decree in settlement of a
dispute related to the Wisconsin Steel property. In June 1997,
Transportation paid $11 million to the Economic Development
Administration in settlement of various commercial issues and past
environmental costs which is consistent with the estimate of
anticipated clean-up costs of the Wisconsin Steel and Solar sites
reported at October 31, 1996.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements under this caption constitute "forward-
looking statements" under the Reform Act, which involve risks and
uncertainties. Navistar International Transportation Corporation's
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed
in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a
difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under
the heading "Business Environment."
Second Quarter Ended April 30, 1997
-----------------------------------
Transportation reported net income of $16 million for the
second quarter ended April 30, 1997, compared with a net loss of $2
million for the comparable quarter last year.
Transportation's manufacturing operations reported income
before income taxes of $4 million compared with a pretax loss of $1
million in the second quarter of 1996 reflecting continued strong
demand for mid-range diesel engines. The financial services
operations' pretax income for the second quarter of 1997 was $16
million, unchanged from the same period in 1996.
Sales and Revenues. Second quarter 1997 industry retail sales of
Class 5 through 8 trucks totaled 86,800 units, equal to the number
of units sold during this period in 1996. Class 8 heavy truck sales
of 48,500 units during the second quarter of 1997 were two percent
lower than the 1996 level of 49,700 units. Industry sales of Class
5, 6 and 7 medium trucks, including school buses, increased three
percent to 38,300 units. Industry sales of school buses, which
accounted for 18 percent of the medium truck market, decreased four
percent.
Sales and revenues for the second quarter of 1997 totaled
$1,543 million, five percent higher than the $1,474 million reported
for the comparable quarter in 1996. Sales of trucks, mid-range
diesel engines and service parts for the second quarter of 1997
totaled $1,493 million compared with $1,423 million reported for the
same period in 1996.
Transportation maintained its position as sales leader in the
combined United States and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck market
with a 27.1 percent market share for the second quarter of 1997, a
slight decrease from the market share reported in 1996. (Sources:
American Automobile Manufacturer's Association, the United States
Motor Vehicle Manufacturer's Association and R.L. Polk & Company.)
<PAGE>
<PAGE 13>
Shipments of mid-range diesel engines by Transportation to
other original equipment manufacturers during the second quarter of
1997 totaled 48,300 units, a 19 percent increase from the same
period of 1996. Higher shipments to a domestic automotive
manufacturer to meet consumer demand for the light trucks and vans
which use this engine was the primary reason for the increase.
Service parts sales of $203 million in the second quarter of
1997 increased four percent from the prior year's level.
Finance and insurance revenue was $43 million in the second
quarter of 1997 slightly lower than in 1996 primarily as a result of
a decline in wholesale note revenue.
Costs and expenses. Manufacturing gross margin was 13.8 percent of
sales for the second quarter of 1997 compared with 13.7 percent for
the same period in 1996. Consolidated marketing and administrative
expense increased to $87 million in 1997 from $75 million in the
second quarter of 1996 reflecting investment in the implementation
of the company's strategy to reduce costs and complexity in its
manufacturing processes.
Six Months Ended April 30, 1997
-------------------------------
Pretax income for the first six months of 1997 was $16 million
compared with $24 million reported for the same period of 1996.
Transportation's manufacturing operations reported a loss before
income taxes of $23 million during this period, compared to a pretax
loss of $19 million reported for the first six months of 1996. The
financial services operations' pretax income for the first six
months of 1997 was $39 million, a decline from the $43 million
reported in 1996. This change is a result of lower income on sales
of retail receivables and a lower volume of wholesale financing.
Manufacturing operations' sales and revenues during this period
totaled $2,742 million, slightly lower than in 1996. During the
first six months of 1997, sales of trucks declined six percent while
sales of diesel engines to original equipment manufacturers
increased ten percent. Service parts sales were five percent higher
than in the same period of 1996. Finance and insurance revenue was
$88 million during the first two quarters of 1997 compared with $101
million in 1996.
Industry retail sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks during the
first six months of 1997 totaled 159,000 units, a decrease from the
167,600 units sold during this period in 1996. The company remained
the sales leader in the combined United States and Canadian Class 5
through 8 truck market for the first two quarters of the year with a
26.8 percent market share, an increase over the 26.2 percent market
share reported for the same period last year.
<PAGE>
<PAGE 14>
Manufacturing gross margin for the first six months of 1997 was
13.7 percent compared with 13.0 percent in 1996. The increase in
gross margin reflects improved operating performance and pricing.
Consolidated marketing and administrative expense was $170 million
during this period compared with $148 million during the first two
quarters of 1996. The factors which influenced this expense during
the second quarter of 1997 were also responsible for the change
during the first half of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow is generated from the manufacture and sale of trucks,
mid-range diesel engines and service parts as well as product
financing and insurance coverage provided to Transportation's
dealers and retail customers by the financial services operations.
Historically, funds to finance Transportation's products are
obtained from a combination of commercial paper, short- and long-
term bank borrowings, medium- and long-term debt issues, sales of
finance receivables and equity capital. NFC's current debt ratings
have made bank borrowings and sales of finance receivables the most
economic sources of cash. Insurance operations are funded through
internal operations.
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of the
company amounted to $172 million at April 30, 1997, $348 million at
October 31, 1996 and $297 million at April 30, 1996.
Cash used in operations during the first six months of 1997
totaled $81 million primarily from a net change in operating assets
and liabilities of $126 million offset by $44 million of other
noncash items, principally depreciation. The net change in
operating assets and liabilities includes a $93 million increase in
accounts payable offset by a slight increase in inventory, a $69
million increase in receivables and a $127 million decline in other
liabilities. The change in other liabilities includes the company's
contribution of $109 million to its hourly and salaried pension
plans in the second quarter. This contribution is in addition to
the $105 million that the company contributed in the first quarter
of 1997.
Investment programs provided $17 million in cash reflecting a
net decrease in marketable securities of $13 million and a net
decrease in retail notes and lease receivables of $73 million. In
addition, $58 million was used to fund capital expenditures for
construction of a truck assembly facility in Mexico, to increase
mid-range diesel engine capacity, and for truck product
improvements.
Financing activities used cash to reduce notes and debt
outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility and asset-
backed and other commercial paper program by $158 million offset by
a $79 million increase in debt.
<PAGE>
<PAGE 15>
Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 1997
and 1996. During the first six months of 1997 and of 1996, NFC sold
$487 million and $525 million, respectively, of retail notes through
Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC). NFRRC
has filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission which provide for the issuance of up to $5,000 million of
asset-backed securities. At April 30, 1997, the remaining shelf
registration available to NFRRC was $1,973 million.
During March through April 1997, NFC entered into $500 million
of forward interest rate lock agreements on a U.S. Treasury security
maturing in 1999 related to the May 1997 sale of retail receivables.
These hedge agreements were closed in conjunction with the pricing
of the sale.
During May 1997, NFC sold $500 million of retail notes,
realizing net proceeds of $499 million which were used for general
working capital purposes. A gain of approximately $6 million was
recognized on the sale.
In May 1997, NFC entered into a $50 million forward starting
swap agreement on a U.S. Treasury security maturing in 1999 related
to the anticipated November 1997 sale of retail receivables. This
swap agreement starts on October 31, 1997 and NFC intends to sell
this position in October 1997 on the pricing date of the sale.
NFC also utilizes a $400 million revolving wholesale note trust
that provides for the continuous sale of eligible wholesale notes on
a daily basis. The trust is comprised of two $100 million tranches
of investor certificates maturing serially from 1997 to 1999 and a
$200 million tranche maturing in 2004.
At April 30, 1997, available funding under NFC's amended and
restated credit facility and the asset-backed commercial paper
facility was $440 million, of which $145 million was used to back
short-term debt at April 30, 1997. The remaining $295 million, when
combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents made $298
million available to fund the general business purposes of NFC at
April 30, 1997.
In April 1997, NFC entered into a $100 million forward interest
rate lock agreement on a U.S. Treasury security maturing in 2002
related to the May 1997 subordinated debt issue. The hedge
agreement was closed in conjunction with the pricing of the
subordinated debt.
During May 1997, the NFC sold $100 million of Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2002. NFC used the net proceeds to repurchase
$6.0 million of its outstanding 1998 Notes and to reduce outstanding
indebtedness under the Bank Revolving Credit Facility.

Transportation had outstanding capital commitments of $128
million at April 30, 1997, which consist of truck and engine
development, ongoing facility maintenance programs and construction
of a plant in Mexico. In November 1996, Transportation announced
plans to spend $167 million, over the next two years, to construct
this new truck assembly facility in Mexico.
It is the opinion of management that, in the absence of
significant unanticipated cash demands, current and forecasted cash
flow will provide a basis for financing operating requirements and
capital expenditures. Management also believes that collections on
the outstanding receivables portfolios as well as funds available
from various funding sources will permit the financial services
operations to meet the financing requirements of Transportation's
dealers and customers.
Business Environment
Sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks are cyclical, with demand
affected by such economic factors as industrial production,
construction, demand for consumer durable goods, interest rates and
the earnings and cash flow of dealers and customers. Although the
general economy remains stable, demand for new trucks in 1997 is
anticipated to be lower than in 1996. An improvement in the number
of new orders has increased Transportation's order backlog to 34,900
units at April 30, 1997 from 26,700 units at April 30, 1996. Retail
deliveries during the remainder of 1997 continue to be highly
dependent on the rate at which new truck orders are received.
Transportation will evaluate order receipts and backlog throughout
the year and will balance production with demand as appropriate.
Transportation currently projects 1997 United States and
Canadian Class 8 heavy truck demand to be 180,000 units, an eight
percent decrease from 1996. Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck demand,
excluding school buses, is forecast at 112,000 units, a slight
decrease from 1996. Demand for school buses is expected to decline
slightly in 1997 to 31,500 units. Mid-range diesel engine
shipments by Transportation to original equipment manufacturers in
1997 are expected to be 178,100 units, nine percent higher than in
1996. Transportation's service parts sales are projected to grow
eight percent to $817 million.
