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" or
"Navistar." 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 1997 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 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation used in the 1998 financial statements.
Note B. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Consolidated interest payments during the first six months of 1998 and 1997
were $85 million and $79 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 generated in earlier years.
Note D. Inventories
Inventories are as follows:

Navistar International Transportation Corp. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note E. Financial Instruments
Transportation purchases collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs)
that have predetermined fixed-principal payment patterns which are relatively
certain. These instruments totaled $36 million at April 30, 1998. At April 30,
the unrecognized gain on the CMOs was not material.
In June 1998, Navistar Financial Corporation, (NFC) sold $501 million of
retail notes, net of unearned finance income, recognizing a gain of $8 million
on the sale. The proceeds of $482 million, net of underwriting fees and credit
enhancements, were used by NFC for general working capital purposes.
NFC entered into $400 million of forward treasury locks in anticipation
of a June 1998 sale of retail receivables. These hedge agreements were closed in
conjunction with the pricing of the sale and resulted in an immaterial gain.
NFC also entered into a $100 million forward treasury lock in
anticipation of a November 1998 sale of retail receivables. This hedge agreement
will be closed in conjunction with the pricing of the sale and any resulting
gain or loss will be included in the gain or loss on the sale of receivables
recognized in November 1998.
Note F. New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement revises
standards for disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
standard expands or modifies disclosure and, accordingly will have no impact on
Transportation's reported financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This statement defines whether
or not certain costs related to the development or acquisition of internal use
software should be expensed or capitalized and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1998. Transportation is currently assessing the
impact of this statement on its results of operations and financial position.
Note G. Debt and Equity Offerings
On February 4, 1998 Navistar issued $100 million 7% Senior Notes due 2003
and $250 million 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. The proceeds of the
Senior Notes were used to prepay an 8% Secured Note due 2002 and will be used to
redeem the 9% Sinking Fund Debentures on June 15, 1998. (The company called the
9% Sinking Fund Debentures during May 1998). The proceeds of the Senior

Navistar International Transportation Corp. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note G. Debt and Equity Offerings (continued)
Subordinated Notes were used to redeem the Parent Company's $240 million, $6.00
Series G Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and to pay accumulated and
unpaid dividends thereon. Excess proceeds from both debt issues will be used for
general working capital purposes.
On June 8, 1998, a secondary public offering of the common stock of the
Parent Company was completed, in which the Navistar International Transportation
Corp. Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust sold approximately 19.9 million shares
of common stock at an offering price of $26.50 per share. In conjunction with
this offering, the company and certain of the company's pension plans purchased
2 million and 3 million, respectively, of the shares being offered. Navistar has
also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1.3
million shares to cover over-allotments, if any. The company did not receive any
proceeds from the sale of the shares in the offering but will pay expenses
related to this offering estimated at $14 million, which will be expensed in the
third quarter of 1998.

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 Corp'.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, 1998
Transportation reported net income of $77 million for the second quarter
ended April 30, 1998, compared with net income of $16 million for the comparable
quarter last year.
Transportation's manufacturing operations reported income before income
taxes of $69 million compared with pretax income of $4 million in the second
quarter of 1997 reflecting an increase in the demand for trucks and engines. The
financial services operations' pretax income for the second quarter of 1998 was
$19 million compared with $16 million in the prior year reflecting increased
finance receivable balances.
Sales and Revenues. Second quarter 1998 industry retail sales of Class 5 through
8 trucks totaled 96,600 units, which is 10% higher than the 87,500 units sold
during this period in 1997. Class 8 heavy truck sales of 56,500 units during the
second quarter of 1998 were 15% higher than the 1997 level of 49,000 units.
Industry sales of Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks, including school buses,
increased 4% to 40,100 units. Industry sales of school buses, which accounted
for 18% of the medium truck market, increased 2%.
Sales and revenues for the second quarter of 1998 totaled $2,008 million,
30% higher than the $1,543 million reported for the comparable quarter in 1997.
Sales of trucks, mid-range diesel engines and service parts for the second
quarter of 1998 totaled $1,955 million compared with $1,493 million reported for
the same period in 1997.
The company maintained its position as sales leader in the combined
United States and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck market with a 29.6% market
share for the second quarter of 1998, an increase from the 26.9% market share
reported in 1997. (Sources: American Automobile Manufacturers Association,
Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, and R.L. Polk & Company.)
Shipments of mid-range diesel engines by the company to other original
equipment manufacturers during the second quarter of 1998 totaled 56,000 units,
a 16% increase from the same period of 1997. Higher shipments to Ford Motor
Company to meet consumer demand for the light trucks and vans which use this
engine were the primary reason for the increase.
- 10 -
<PAGE>
Service parts sales of $217 million in the second quarter of 1998
increased 7% from the prior year's level.
Finance and insurance revenue of $47 million in the second quarter of 1998
increased 9% from 1997, primarily as a result of increased retail notes and
lease financing receivables.
Costs and expenses. Manufacturing gross margin was 14.6% of sales for the
second quarter of 1998 compared with 13.8% for the same period in 1997.
Consolidated marketing and administrative expense increased to $95
million in 1998 from $87 million in the second quarter of 1997 reflecting
investment in the implementation of the company's truck strategy to reduce costs
and complexity in its manufacturing processes and an increase in the provision
for payment to employees as provided by the company's performance incentive
programs.
Postretirement benefits expense decreased to $43 million in 1998 from $57
million in the second quarter of 1997 mainly as a result of higher excepted
return on plan assets.
Engineering and research expense increased $14 million from the second
quarter of 1997 to $46 million, reflecting the company's investment in its NGV
program.
Six Months Ended April 30, 1998
-------------------------------
Pretax income for the first six months of 1998 was $119 million compared
with $16 million reported for the same period of 1997. The company's
manufacturing operations reported income before income taxes of $77 million
during this period, compared with a pretax loss of $23 million reported in 1997.
The financial services operations' pretax income for the first six months of
1998 was $42 million, an increase from the $39 million reported in 1997. This
change is primarily a result of an increase in finance receivable balances.
Manufacturing operations' sales and revenues during this period totaled
$3,617 million, an increase of 32% from 1997. During the first six months of
1998, sales of trucks increased 42% while sales of diesel engines to original
equipment manufacturers increased 16%. Service parts sales were 3% higher than
in the same period of 1997. Finance and insurance revenue was $92 million during
the first two quarters of 1998 compared with $88 million in 1997.
Industry retail sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks during the first six
months of 1998 totaled 182,200 units, an increase from the 159,600 units sold
during this period in 1997. 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 29.4% market share, an increase over the 26.7%
market share reported for the same period last year.
- 11 -
<PAGE>
Manufacturing gross margin for the first six months of 1998 was 13.9%
compared with 13.7% in 1997. Consolidated marketing and administrative expense
was $191 million during this period compared with $170 million during the first
two quarters of 1997. The factors which influenced marketing and administrative
expense, postretirement benefits expense and engineering and research expense
during the second quarter of 1998 were also primarily responsible for the
changes 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 the company'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 sales of finance receivables the
most economic source of funding. Insurance operations are funded through
internal operations.
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of Transportation
amounted to $233 million at April 30, 1998, $291 million at October 31, 1997 and
$172 million at April 30, 1997.
Cash used in operations during the first six months of 1998 totaled $213
million primarily from excess postretirement benefits funding of $283 million
and from a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $90 million offset
by net income of $99 million and $61 million of other noncash items, principally
depreciation. In addition to regular postretirement benefit payments, the
company contributed $200 million to the Retiree Health Care Base Plan Trust and
$100 million to the hourly pension plan during the first six months of 1998. The
net change in operating assets and liabilities included a $145 million increase
in receivables primarily due to strong sales during the first six months of
1998. The $62 million increase in inventory, the $76 million increase in other
liabilities and the $51 million increase in accounts payable were primarily due
to timing of cash payments and higher production volume.
Investment programs used $188 million in cash reflecting a net increase
in retail notes and lease receivables of $56 million and $88 million for
property and equipment leased to others. In addition, $62 million was used to
fund capital expenditures to increase mid-range diesel engine capacity and for
truck product improvements.
Financing activities provided $343 million in cash primarily due to an
increase of $312 million in notes and debt outstanding under the bank revolving
credit facility and other commercial paper program as well as a $31 million net
increase in debt.

On June 8, 1998, a secondary public offering of the common stock of the
Parent Company was completed, in which the Navistar International Transportation
Corp. Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust sold approximately 19.9 million shares
of common stock at an offering price of $26.50 per share. In conjunction with
this offering, the company and certain of the company's pension plans purchased
2 million and 3 million, respectively, of the shares being offered. Navistar has
also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1.3
million shares to cover over-allotments, if any. The company did not receive any
proceeds from the sale of the shares in the offering but will pay expenses
related to this offering estimated at $14 million, which will be expensed in the
third quarter of 1998.
During May 1998, the company called its 9% Sinking Fund Debentures due June
2004. These debentures will be redeemed on June 15, 1998 for approximately $47
million including accrued interest.
Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 1998 and 1997.
During the first six months of 1998 and of 1997, NFC sold $500 million and $486
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, 1998, the remaining
shelf registration available to NFRRC was $973 million.
At April 30, 1998, available funding under NFC's amended and restated
credit facility and the asset-backed commercial paper facility was $242 million,
of which $138 million was used to back short-term debt at April 30, 1998. The
remaining $104 million, when combined with unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents made $143 million available to fund the general business purposes of
NFC at April 30, 1998.
Transportation purchases collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) that
have predetermined fixed-principal payment patterns which are relatively
certain. These instruments totaled $36 million at April 30, 1998. At April 30,
the unrecognized gain on the CMOs was not material.
In June 1998, NFC sold $501 million of retail notes, net of unearned
finance income, recognizing a gain of $8 million on the sale. The proceeds of
$482 million, net of underwriting fees and credit enhancements, were used by NFC
for general working capital purposes.
NFC entered into $400 million of forward treasury locks in anticipation
of a June 1998 sale of retail receivables. These hedge agreements were closed in
conjunction with the pricing of the sale and resulted in an immaterial gain.
NFC also entered into a $100 million forward treasury lock in
anticipation of a November 1998 sale of retail receivables. This hedge agreement
will be closed in conjunction with the pricing of the sale and any resulting
gain or loss will be included in the gain or loss on the sale of receivables
recognized in November 1998.

The company had outstanding capital commitments of $107 million at April
30, 1998, primarily for increased manufacturing capacity at the Indianapolis
engine plant and improvements to existing facilities and products.
Management continues to evaluate current and forecasted cash flow as a
basis for financing operating requirements and capital expenditures. Management
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.
Year 2000
Transportation has identified all significant applications that will
require modification to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Internal and external
resources are being used to make the required modifications and test Year 2000
compliance. Transportation plans to complete the modifications and testing
process of all significant applications by July 1999, which is prior to any
anticipated impact on its operating systems. The total cost of the Year 2000
project has not been and is not anticipated to be material to Transportation's
financial position or results of operations and will be funded through operating
cash flows.
The costs of the project and the date on which Transportation believes it
will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources, third party
modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.
In addition, Transportation has communicated with others with whom it
does significant business to determine their Year 2000 compliance readiness and
the extent to which the company is vulnerable to any third party Year 2000
issues. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems or products of other
companies, including Transportation's dealers, on which Transportation relies
will be timely converted, or that a failure to convert by another company, or a
conversion that is incompatible with Transportation's systems, would not have a
material adverse affect on Transportation.
Impact of Government Regulation
For model year 1998, the U.S. EPA has issued conditional certification of
conformance for electronically-controlled diesel engines while it investigates
whether these engines fully comply with regulations concerning nitrogen oxide
emissions. In particular, the U.S. EPA is focusing on whether certain
electronics strategies used to attain fuel economy have an adverse impact on
nitrogen oxide emissions. In connection with its investigation the U.S. EPA has
made demand upon Transportation that it enter into a consent decree providing,
among other things, for the payment of fines in excess of $100,000 for alleged
violations of U.S. EPA emissions standards. Transportation believes the diesel
engines manufactured by it are in compliance with all applicable U.S. EPA
standards and is engaged in confidential discussions with the U.S. EPA in an
effort to resolve this issue. It is premature at this time to predict the final
results of these discussions.

New Pronouncements
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement revises
standards for disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans
and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This
standard expands or modifies disclosure and, accordingly will have no impact on
Transportation's reported financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". This statement defines which
costs related to the development or acquisition of internal use software should
be expensed or capitalized and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. Transportation is currently assessing the impact of this
statement on its results of operations and financial position.
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. Reflecting the stability of the general economy, demand for new
trucks remained strong during the second quarter of 1998. An improvement in the
number of new truck orders has increased Transportation's order backlog to
65,400 units at April 30, 1998 from 34,900 units at April 30, 1997. Retail
deliveries in 1998 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.
A stronger than expected economy has led Transportation to increase its
estimates of demand. Transportation currently projects 1998 United States and
Canadian Class 8 heavy truck demand to be 230,000 units, a 17% increase from
1997. Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck demand, excluding school buses, is forecast
at 127,000 units, an 8% increase from 1997. Demand for school buses is expected
to decline slightly in 1998 to 32,000 units. Mid-range diesel engine shipments
by the company to original equipment manufacturers in 1998 are expected to be
215,500 units, 17% higher than in 1997. Transportation's service parts sales are
projected to grow 9% to $875 million.
At the currently forecasted 1998 demand of 389,000 units, the entire
truck industry is operating at or near capacity while Transportation's
manufacturing facilities are near capacity. Additionally, constraints have been
placed on Transportation's ability to meet certain customers' demands because of
component parts availability.
During March 1998, Transportation announced that it has been selected to
negotiate an extended term agreement to supply diesel engines for select Ford
Motor Company under 8,500 lbs. GVW light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles.
