PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its principal
operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation Corp., referred to
as "Transportation." As used hereafter, "Navistar" or "company" refers to
Navistar International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Navistar operates in three principal industry segments: truck, engine
(collectively called "manufacturing operations") and financial services. The
company's truck segment is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of medium
and heavy trucks, including school buses. The company's engine segment is
engaged in the design and manufacture of mid-range diesel engines. The truck
segment operates primarily in the United States (U.S.) and Canada as well as in
Mexico, Brazil and other selected export markets while the engine segment
operates primarily in the U.S. and Brazil. Based on assets and revenues, the
truck and engine segments represent the majority of the company's business
activities. The financial services operations consist of Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC), its domestic insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign
finance and insurance subsidiaries. Industry and geographic segment data for
1999, 1998 and 1997 is summarized in Note 13 to the Financial Statements, which
is incorporated herein by reference.
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The following table illustrates the percentage of the company's sales of
products and services by segment based on dollar amount:
YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31,

=== === ====
The truck segment manufactures and distributes a full line of
diesel-powered trucks and school buses in the common carrier, private carrier,
government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and student
transportation markets. The truck segment also provides customers with
proprietary products needed to support the International truck and bus lines,
together with a wide selection of other standard truck and trailer aftermarket
parts. The company offers diesel-powered trucks and school buses because of
their improved fuel economy, ease of serviceability and greater durability over
gasoline-powered vehicles.
<PAGE>
PAGE 4
The truck and bus manufacturing operations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and
Brazil consist principally of the assembly of components manufactured by its
suppliers, although the company produces its own mid-range diesel truck engines,
sheet metal components (including cabs) and miscellaneous other parts.
The engine segment designs and manufactures diesel engines for use in the
company's Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses and selected Class 8
heavy truck models, and for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in
the U.S. and Mexico. This segment also sells engines for industrial,
agricultural and marine applications. In addition, the engine segment provides
customers with proprietary products needed to support the International engine
lines, together with a wide selection of other standard engine and aftermarket
parts. In February 1999, Navistar acquired a 50% interest in Maxion
International Motores, S.A., the largest producer of diesel engines in South
America. The joint venture produces the current Maxion products in addition to
the Navistar 7.3 liter (7.3L) V-8 Turbo Diesel Engine. Based upon information
published by R.L. Polk & Company, diesel-powered Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck
and bus shipments represented 90.4% of all medium shipments for fiscal 1999 in
the U.S. and Canada.
The financial services segment provides retail, wholesale and lease
financing of products sold by the truck segment and its dealers within the U.S.
as well as the company's wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts
receivable. NFC's insurance subsidiary provides commercial physical damage and
liability insurance to the truck segment's dealers and retail customers and to
the general public through an independent insurance agency system. The foreign
finance subsidiaries' primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and lease
financing to the Mexican operations' dealers and retail customers.
THE MEDIUM AND HEAVY TRUCK INDUSTRY
The markets in which Navistar competes are subject to considerable
volatility as they move in response to cycles in the overall business
environment and are particularly sensitive to the industrial sector which
generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Government
regulation has impacted and will continue to impact trucking operations and the
efficiency and specifications of equipment.
The following table shows industry retail deliveries in the combined U.S.
and Canadian markets for the five years ended October 31, in thousands of units:

Communications in the U.S. and the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association.
The company's first full year of operations in Mexico was 1997. Industry
retail deliveries of Class 5 through 8 trucks and school buses in the Mexican
market were 23,300 units, 21,800 units and 15,600 units in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, based on monthly data provided by the Associacion Nacional de
Productores de Autobuses, Camiones y Tractocamiones.
<PAGE>
PAGE 5
The company's first full year of operations in Brazil was 1999. Industry
retail deliveries of Class 5 through 8 trucks in the Brazilian market were
44,300 units in 1999.
The Class 5 through 8 truck markets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil
are highly competitive. Major U.S. domestic competitors include PACCAR, Ford and
General Motors, as well as foreign-controlled domestic manufacturers, such as
Freightliner and Sterling (DaimlerChrysler), Mack (Renault) and Volvo. In
addition, manufacturers from Japan such as Hino, Isuzu, Nissan and Mitsubishi
are competing in the U.S. and Canadian markets. In Mexico, the major domestic
competitors are Kenmex (PACCAR) and Mercedes (DaimlerChrysler). In Brazil, the
competition is with Mercedes (DaimlerChrysler), Volkswagon, Scania and Volvo.
The intensity of this competition results in price discounting and margin
pressures throughout the industry. In addition to the influence of price, market
position is driven by product quality, engineering, styling, utility and
distribution.
The company's truck segment currently estimates $460 million in capital
spending and $190 million in development expense through 2004 for development of
its next generation vehicles.
TRUCK MARKET SHARE
The company delivered 119,300 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school
buses, in the U.S. and Canada in fiscal 1999, a 5% increase from the 113,900
units delivered in 1998. Navistar's 1999 market share of 25.6% in the combined
U.S. and Canadian Class 5 through 8 truck market was constrained by the fact
that continued industry demand for heavy and medium trucks outstripped system
capacity. The company's market share in 1998 was 29.1%.
The company delivered 4,800 Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school
buses, in Mexico in 1999, a 17% increase from the 4,100 units delivered in 1998.
Navistar's combined share of the Class 5 through 8 truck market in Mexico was
20.7% in 1999 and 18.7% in 1998.
The company delivered 500 trucks in Brazil in 1999. Navistar's share of the
truck market in Brazil was 1.0% in 1999.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
Navistar's truck products are distributed in virtually all key markets in
the U.S. and Canada. The company's truck distribution and service network in
these countries was composed of 927, 945 and 954 dealers and retail outlets at
October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Included in these totals were
517, 524 and 514 secondary and associate locations at October 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The company also has a dealer network in Mexico composed of
60, 44 and 38 dealer locations at October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and a dealer network in Brazil composed of 14 dealer locations at October 31,
1999, and six dealer locations at October 31, 1998.
Retail dealer activity is supported by five regional operations in the U.S.
and general offices in Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The company has a national
account sales group, responsible for 94 major U.S. national account customers.
Navistar's network of 15 Used Truck Centers in the U.S. provides trade-in
support to the company's dealers and national accounts group, and markets all
makes and models of reconditioned used trucks to owner-operators and fleet
buyers. Trucks, components and service parts are exported for wholesale and
retail sale to more than 70 countries around the world.
In the U.S. and Canada, the company operates seven regional parts
distribution centers, which allow it to offer 24 hour availability and same day
shipment of the parts most frequently requested by customers. The company also
operates parts distribution centers in Mexico and Brazil.

ENGINE AND FOUNDRY
Navistar is the leading supplier of mid-range diesel engines in the 160-300
horsepower range according to data supplied by Power Systems Research of
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Navistar has an agreement to supply its 7.3L electronically controlled
diesel engine to Ford Motor Company (Ford) through the year 2002 for use in
all of Ford's diesel-powered light trucks and vans. Shipments to Ford account
for approximately 91% of the engine segment's 7.3L shipments. Total engine
units shipped reached 374,200 in 1999, a 25% increase over 1998. This excludes
the 48,200 units shipped by Maxion International Motores, S.A., the company's
50% joint venture in Brazil. The company's shipments of engines to all OEMs
totaled 286,500 units in 1999, an increase of 34% from the 213,700 units
shipped in 1998. During 1997, Navistar entered into a 10-year agreement,
effective with model year 2003, to supply Ford with a successor engine to the
current 7.3L product for use in its diesel-powered super duty trucks and
vans (over 8,500 lbs. GVW). In March 1998, the company was selected by Ford to
negotiate an extended agreement to supply diesel engines for certain under
8,500 lbs. GVW light duty trucks and sport utility vehicles, such as the Ford
Expedition, F-150 and F-250 pick-ups and Econoline 150 and 250 van models. To
support this program the company has announced plans to open an engine
assembly operation in Huntsville, Alabama.
The company has approved a plan for up to $500 million in capital spending
over the next four years in order to manufacture a next generation version of
diesel engines. In addition, approximately $120 million of development expense
was approved for the development of these engines. Included in these amounts are
the company's planned investment in Huntsville, Alabama.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
NFC is a financial services organization that provides wholesale, retail
and lease financing of new and used trucks sold by the company and its dealers
in the U.S. NFC also finances the company's wholesale accounts and selected
retail accounts receivable. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other
manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily
sold for use with the company's truck products. During 1999 and 1998, NFC
provided wholesale financing for 96% and 95%, respectively, of the new truck
units sold by the company to its dealers and distributors in the U.S., and
retail and lease financing for 16% of all new truck units sold or leased by the
company to retail customers in both 1999 and 1998.
NFC's wholly owned domestic insurance subsidiary, Harco National Insurance
Company, provides commercial physical damage and liability insurance coverage to
the company's dealers and retail customers and to the general public through an
independent insurance agency system.
Navistar's wholly owned subsidiaries, Arrendadora Financiera Navistar,
Servicios Financieros Navistar and Navistar Comercial, provide wholesale,
retail and lease financing to the truck segment's dealers and customers in
Mexico.
Harbour Assurance Company of Bermuda Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the company, offers a variety of programs to the company, including general
liability insurance, ocean cargo coverage for shipments to and from foreign
distributors and reinsurance coverage for various company policies.
IMPORTANT SUPPORTING OPERATIONS
Navistar International Corporation Canada has an agreement with a
subsidiary of General Electric Capital Canada, Inc. to provide financing for
Canadian dealers and customers.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development activities, which are directed toward the
introduction of new products and improvements of existing products and processes
used in their manufacture, totaled $207 million, $138 million and $85 million
for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
BACKLOG
The backlog of unfilled truck orders (subject to cancellation or return in
certain events) at October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, was $3,352 million, $4,505
million and $2,360 million, respectively.
Although the backlog of unfilled orders is one of many indicators of market
demand, other factors such as changes in production rates, available capacity,
new product introductions and competitive pricing actions may affect
point-in-time comparisons.
EMPLOYEES
The company employed 18,600, 17,600 and 16,200 individuals at October 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, worldwide.
LABOR RELATIONS
At October 31, 1999, the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (UAW) represented 9,100 of the company's active
employees in the U.S., and the National Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural
Implement Workers of Canada (CAW) represented 2,100 of the company's active
employees in Canada. Other unions represented 800 of the company's active
employees in the U.S. and 800 of the company's active employees in Mexico. The
company's master contract with the UAW expires on October 1, 2002. In June 1999,
a new collective bargaining agreement was ratified by the CAW which expires on
June 1, 2002. The contract allows the company to improve productivity through
better use of work assignments and manpower utilization.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
Navistar continuously obtains patents on its inventions and owns a
significant patent portfolio. Additionally, many of the components which
Navistar purchases for its products are protected by patents that are owned or
controlled by the component manufacturer. Navistar has licenses under
third-party patents relating to its products and their manufacture and grants
licenses under its patents. The monetary royalties paid or received under these
licenses are not significant. No particular patent or group of patents is
considered by the company to be essential to its business as a whole.
Navistar's primary trademarks are an important part of its worldwide sales
and marketing efforts and provide instant identification of its products and
services in the marketplace. To support these efforts, Navistar maintains, or
has pending, registrations of its primary trademarks in those countries in which
it does business or expects to do business.
<PAGE>
PAGE 8
RAW MATERIALS AND ENERGY SUPPLIES
The company purchases raw materials, parts and components from numerous
outside suppliers, but relies upon some suppliers for a substantial number of
components for its truck and engine products. A majority of the company's
requirements for raw materials and supplies is filled by single-source
suppliers.
The impact of an interruption in supply will vary by commodity. Some parts
are generic to the industry while others are of a proprietary design requiring
unique tooling which would require time to recreate. However, the company's
exposure to a disruption in production as a result of an interruption of raw
materials and supplies is no greater than the industry as a whole. In order to
remedy any losses resulting from an interruption in supply, the company
maintains contingent business interruption insurance for storms, fire and water
damage.
While the company believes that it has adequate assurances of continued
supply, the inability of a supplier to deliver could have an adverse effect on
production at certain of the company's manufacturing locations. The company's
exposure in Mexico and Brazil to an interruption in local supply could result in
an inability to meet local content requirements.
Strong demand for International trucks coupled with record industry demand
continues to outpace Navistar's near term capacity as well as the capacity of
some key suppliers. Process improvements and capacity expansions are being
implemented to enhance the company's ability to meet customer demand for its
products.
Navistar is currently meeting demand for International engines, for both
International truck and OEMs. There are currently no engine component supplier
capacity issues. The expansion of engine capacity in Brazil and in Huntsville,
Alabama will enable Navistar to meet any future external customer needs in the
light truck diesel market for the foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
PAGE 9
IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face heavy governmental
regulation of their products, especially in the areas of environment and safety.
The company believes its products comply with all applicable environmental and
safety regulations.
As a diesel engine manufacturer, the company has incurred research,
development and tooling costs to design its engine product lines to meet United
States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and California Air Resources
Board (CARB) emission standards that will come into effect after the turn of the
century. The company intends to provide engines that satisfy CARB's emission
standards effective in 2002 for engines used in vehicles from 8,501 to 14,000
lbs. GVW, as well as heavy-duty engines that comply with more stringent CARB and
U.S. EPA emission standards, promulgated in 1997, for 2004 and later model
years. At the same time, Navistar expects to be able to meet all of the
obligations it agreed to in the Consent Decree signed in October 1998 with the
U.S. EPA and in a Settlement Agreement with CARB concerning alleged excess
emissions of nitrogen oxides.
Rulemaking is currently underway for emission standards for light and
heavy-duty engines for 2004 and later model years. Navistar is actively
participating in these rulemakings to ensure that its products can comply.
In November 1999, CARB promulgated new emission standards for light-duty
diesel engines which cover Navistar's new V-6 diesel engines. On the basis of
available technology, compliance with the 2007 standards is dependent upon the
availability of low sulfur diesel fuel. Navistar believes that CARB has exceeded
its statutory authority in promulgating these emission standards and in November
1999 filed suit to overturn them. Even if the emission standards are not
overturned, Navistar does not believe they will have a material effect on the
company's financial condition or operating results.
Canadian and Mexican heavy-duty engine emission regulations essentially
mirror those of the U.S. EPA, except that compliance in Mexico is conditioned on
availability of low-sulfur diesel fuel. The company's engines comply with
Canadian and Mexican emission regulations, as well as those of Brazil.
Truck manufacturers are also subject to various noise standards imposed by
federal, state and local regulations. The engine is one of a truck's primary
noise sources, and the company, therefore, works closely with OEMs to develop
strategies to reduce engine noise. The company is also subject to the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety Act) and Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (Safety Standards) promulgated by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration. The company believes it is in compliance with the Safety
Act and the Safety Standards.
Expenditures to comply with various environmental regulations relating to
the control of air, water and land pollution at production facilities and to
control noise levels and emissions from the company's products have not been
material except for two sites formerly owned by the company: Wisconsin Steel in
Chicago, Illinois, and Solar Turbine in San Diego, California. In 1994, the
company recorded a $20 million after-tax charge as a loss of discontinued
operations for environmental liabilities and cleanup cost at these two sites. It
is not expected that the costs of compliance with foreseeable environmental
requirements will have a material effect on the company's financial condition or
operating results.

PAGE 10
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
In North America, the company owns and operates 10 manufacturing and
assembly operations which contain approximately 10 million square feet of floor
space. Of these 10 facilities, six plants manufacture and assemble trucks, and
four plants are used by the company's engine segment, of which two manufacture
diesel engines and two produce grey iron castings. In addition, the company owns
or leases other significant properties in the U.S. and Canada including vehicle
and parts distribution centers, sales offices and two engineering centers, which
serve the company's truck and engine segments, and its headquarters which is
located in Chicago. The company's truck assembly facility located in Escobedo,
Mexico is encumbered by a lien in favor of certain lenders of the company as
collateral for a $125 million revolving loan agreement.
The truck segment's principal research and engineering facility is located
in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the engine segment's facility is located in Melrose
Park, Illinois. In addition, certain research is conducted at each of the
company's manufacturing plants.
All of the company's plants are being utilized and have been adequately
maintained, are in good operating condition and are suitable for its current
needs through productive utilization of the facilities. In 1999, the company
announced plans for a new plant in Huntsville, Alabama, to produce new high
technology diesel engines. These facilities, together with planned capital
expenditures, are expected to meet the company's manufacturing needs in the
foreseeable future.
A majority of the activity of the financial services operations is
conducted from its leased headquarters in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. The
financial services operations also lease 6 other office locations in the U.S.
and one in Mexico.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in
the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings
which constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the
company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of the company's management, none
of these proceedings or claims are material to the business or the financial
condition of the company.

Exhibit 10.21
NAVISTAR 1998 SUPPLEMENTAL STOCK PLAN
SECTION I
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
The purpose of this Navistar 1998 Supplemental Stock Plan ("Plan") is to
provide an additional plan for the issuance of stock options and restricted
stock for shares of the common stock of Navistar International Corporation to
employees of Navistar International Corporation and its subsidiaries
("Corporation") to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, to provide key
employees who hold positions of major responsibility the opportunity to earn
incentive awards commensurate with the quality of individual performance, the
achievement of performance goals and ultimately the increase in shareowner
value. This Plan is separate from and intended to supplement the Navistar 1994
Performance Incentive Plan ("1994 Plan"). The Plan replaces the Navistar
International Corporation 1998 Interim Stock Plan for grants or awards of stock
made on and after the date of adoption of this Plan.
SECTION II
DEFINITIONS
The terms used in this Plan are defined as specified in the 1994 Plan
unless the context indicates to the contrary.
SECTION III
ELIGIBILITY
Management will, from time to time, select and recommend to the Committee
on Compensation and Governance of the Board of Directors of Navistar
International Corporation ("Committee")(formerly named the Committee on
Organization) Employees who are to become Participants in the Plan. Employees
will be selected from those who, in the opinion of management, have substantial
responsibility in a managerial or professional capacity. Employees selected for
participation in the Plan may also be participants in the 1994 Plan, and
E-8
<PAGE>
participation in this Plan will not be considered participation in a plan that
would affect their participation in the 1994 Plan.
SECTION IV
STOCK OPTIONS
The Committee may grant Nonqualified Stock Options to Participants in the
amount and at the time that the Committee approves. No Incentive Stock Options
shall be granted under this Plan. Options shall be granted under the same terms
and conditions as options granted under the 1994 Plan, as amended from time to
time, but subject to the limitation on the number of shares contained in this
Plan, and subject to the limitation that only treasury shares, and not newly
issued shares, may be used for any grant.
SECTION V
RESTRICTED SHARES
The Committee may award restricted shares for the purposes and under the
same terms and conditions as specified in Sections VI and VIII, and the other
provisions of the 1994 Plan, but subject to the limitations on the number of
shares contained in this Plan, and subject to the limitation that only treasury
shares, and not newly issued shares, may be used for any award to an officer of
the Corporation.
SECTION VI

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Certain statements under this caption that are not purely historical
constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based on current management expectations as of the date made. The
company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Navistar
International 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
captions "Year 2000" and "Business Environment."
Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its principal
operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation Corp.
(Transportation). In this discussion and analysis, "company" or "Navistar"
refers to Navistar International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Navistar operates in three principal industry segments: truck, engine
(collectively called "manufacturing operations") and financial services. The
company's truck segment is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of Class 5
through 8 trucks, including school buses. The truck segment also provides
customers with proprietary products needed to support the International truck
and bus lines, together with a wide selection of other standard truck and
trailer aftermarket parts. The truck segment operates primarily in the United
States (U.S.) and Canada as well as in Mexico, Brazil and other selected export
markets. The company's engine segment is engaged in the design and manufacture
of mid-range diesel engines. The engine segment also provides customers with
proprietary products needed to support the International engine lines, together
with a wide selection of other standard engine and aftermarket parts. The engine
segment operates primarily in the U.S. and Brazil. The financial services
operations of the company provide wholesale, retail and lease financing, and
domestic commercial physical damage and liability insurance coverage to the
company's dealers and retail customers and to the general public through an
independent insurance agency system.
The discussion and analysis reviews the operating and financial results,
and liquidity and capital resources of the manufacturing and financial services
operations. Manufacturing operations reflect the financial results of the
financial services operations included on a one-line basis under the equity
method of accounting. Financial services operations include Navistar Financial
Corporation (NFC) and the company's foreign finance companies. See Note 1 to the
Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The company reported net income of $544 million for 1999, or $8.20 per
diluted common share, reflecting higher sales of engines as well as a $178
million reduction in the company's tax valuation allowance. Net income was $299
million, or $4.11 per diluted common share in 1998, and $150 million, or $1.65
per diluted common share in 1997. Net income in 1998 included a $45 million
reduction in the company's tax valuation allowance.
The company's manufacturing operations reported income before income taxes
of $474 million in 1999 compared with $321 million in 1998 and $164 million in
1997. The truck segment's profits increased by 20% in 1999 and 91% in 1998
compared to revenue increases of 6% and 26%, respectively. The engine segment's
profits increased by 58% in 1999 and 35% in 1998 compared to revenue increases
of 21% and 22%, respectively. The truck and engine segments' profit increases
during 1999 are attributable to economies of scale in engine production,
improved truck pricing and various cost improvement initiatives by both the
truck and engine segments. The truck and engine segments' profit increases
during 1998 are attributable to economies of scale in truck and engine
production, improved truck pricing and various other cost improvement
initiatives by both the truck and engine segments. The truck and engine
segments' revenue increases are attributable to increases in shipments of trucks
and of mid-range diesel engines to other original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs).
The financial services segment's profit in 1999 was $28 million higher than
in 1998. This is primarily attributable to the increase in NFC's pretax income
and a legal settlement in favor of an insurance subsidiary of the company. NFC's
- 2 -
<PAGE>
pretax income in 1999 was $101 million, a 19% increase from $85 million in 1998,
primarily as a result of an increase in wholesale and retail financing activity
and proportionally lower interest expense and debt levels resulting from a
higher level of average outstanding accounts payable to affiliates. This was
partially offset by a higher provision for losses and higher costs to service
the larger portfolio. The financial services segment's profit in 1998 was $7
million higher than in 1997, primarily due to the $10 million increase in NFC's
pretax income from the $75 million reported in 1997. This increase is primarily
due to an increase in wholesale and retail financing activity partially offset
by lower financing margins.
Sales and Revenues. Sales and revenues of $8,647 million in 1999 were 10% higher
than the $7,885 million reported in 1998 which was 24% higher than the $6,371
million reported in 1997. Sales of manufactured products totaled $8,326 million
in 1999, 9% above the $7,629 million reported for 1998 which was a 24% increase
from the $6,147 million reported in 1997.
U.S. and Canadian industry retail sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks totaled
465,500 units in 1999, a 19% increase from the 392,000 units sold in 1998, and
34% higher than the 347,400 units sold in 1997. Class 8 heavy truck sales
totaled 286,000 units, a 23% increase from the 232,000 units sold in 1998, and
45% higher than the 196,800 units sold in 1997. Industry sales of Class 5, 6 and
7 medium trucks, including school buses, totaled 179,500 units in 1999, a 12%
increase from 1998, when 160,000 units were sold, which was a 6% increase over
the 150,600 units sold in 1997. Industry sales of school buses, which accounted
for 19% of the medium truck market, increased approximately 3% from 1998 to
33,800 units.
The company's 1999 market share of 25.6% in the combined U.S. and Canadian
Class 5 through 8 truck market was constrained by the fact that continued
industry demand for heavy and medium trucks outstripped system capacity. Market
shares in 1998 and 1997 were 29.1% and 28.3%, respectively. (Sources: Ward's
Communications and the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association).
Total engine units shipped reached 374,200 in 1999, a 25% increase over
1998. This excludes the 48,200 units shipped by Maxion International Motores
S.A., the company's joint venture in Brazil. Shipments of mid-range diesel
engines by the company to other OEMs during 1999 were a record 286,500 units, a
34% increase over the 213,700 units shipped in 1998, which represented a 16%
improvement over 1997. Higher shipments to Ford Motor Company to meet consumer
demand for the light trucks and vans which use this engine was the primary
reason for the increases.
Finance and insurance revenue was $256 million for 1999, a $55 million
increase over 1998 revenue of $201 million, which was a $27 million increase
over 1997 revenue of $174 million. These increases are primarily due to
increased wholesale and retail financing.
The 1999 increase in other income is primarily due to a legal settlement in
favor of an insurance subsidiary of the company.
Costs and Expenses. Manufacturing gross margin was 18.0% of sales in 1999,
compared with 15.3% in 1998, and 14.2% in 1997. The increase in 1999 gross
margin is primarily due to improved pricing and improved operating efficiencies.
The 1998 improvement in margin was primarily due to improved operating
efficiencies offset by provisions for employee profit sharing.
Postretirement benefits expense of $216 million in 1999 increased $42
million from $174 million in 1998 and approximated the 1997 expense of $215
million. The 1999 increase is mainly a result of higher retiree healthcare
expense and higher profit sharing provisions to a retiree trust ($23 million and
$16 million, respectively). The 1998 decrease was mainly a result of higher
expected return on plan assets and lower amortization of prior service cost ($69
million and $9 million, respectively) offset by higher profit sharing provisions
to a retiree trust ($38 million).
Engineering and research expense increased to $281 million in 1999 from
$192 million in 1998 and $124 million in 1997. Approximately 50% and 35%,
respectively, of these increases reflect the company's continuing investment in
- 3 -
<PAGE>
its next generation vehicle (NGV) program and approximately 25% and 20%,
respectively, of the 1999 and 1998 increases reflect investment in the next
generation diesel (NGD) program.
Sales, general and administrative expense was $486 million in 1999 compared
with $427 million in 1998 and $365 million in 1997. The 1999 increase is
primarily due to marketing programs and the operational implementation of the
company's integrated truck and engine strategies ($13 million and $34 million,
respectively). The change between 1998 and 1997 primarily reflects investment in
the company's five-point truck strategy and an increase in the provision for
payment to employees as provided by the company's performance incentive programs
($24 million and $20 million, respectively).
Interest expense increased to $135 million in 1999 from $105 million in
1998 and $74 million in 1997. The increase in 1999 resulted, in part, from
higher average receivable funding requirements driven by higher sales levels.
Additionally, a portion of the increase in 1999 and the majority of the increase
in 1998 is due to a $358 million net increase in manufacturing operations debt
during 1998 driven by the issuance of $350 million of senior and senior
subordinated notes in February 1998.
Other expense for 1998 includes $14 million related to the secondary public
offering of 19.9 million shares of the company's common stock which was
completed in June 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow is generated from the manufacture and sale of trucks and
mid-range diesel engines and their associated service parts as well as from
product financing and insurance coverage provided to the company's dealers and
retail customers by the financial services segment. The company's current debt
ratings have made sales of finance receivables the most economic sources of
funding for NFC. Insurance operations are self-funded.
The company had working capital of $340 million at October 31, 1999,
compared to $482 million at October 31, 1998. The decrease from 1998 to 1999 is
primarily due to a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $439
million as described below, and $144 million of purchases of common stock offset
by net sales and maturities of marketable securities of $330 million.
Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of the
company were $576 million at October 31, 1999, $1,064 million at October 31,
1998, and $965 million at October 31, 1997. Cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities available to manufacturing operations, including a 1999
$659 million intercompany receivable from NFC, which NFC is obligated to repay
upon request, totaled $1,045 million at October 31, 1999, $1,010 million at
October 31, 1998 and $901 million at October 31, 1997.
Cash provided by operations during 1999 totaled $302 million, primarily
from net income of $544 million. Income tax expense for 1999 was $47 million,
primarily composed of cash payments of $40 million to federal and certain state,
local and foreign governments.
The net change in operating assets and liabilities of $439 million includes
a $445 million increase in receivables, primarily due to a net increase in
wholesale note and account balances. The change also includes a $129 million
increase in inventory due to higher production levels, offset by a related $139
million increase in accounts payable.
During 1999, investment programs used $451 million in cash principally to
fund $498 million of capital expenditures and investments in affiliates. Capital
expenditures were made primarily for the NGV and NGD programs, increased engine
production capacity, and increased capacity, infrastructure and facility
enhancements at the Escobedo, Mexico plant. Investment programs also used cash
for a $160 million net increase in retail notes and lease receivables and a $108
million net increase in property and equipment leased to others. These were
offset by a net decrease in marketable securities of $330 million.
Financing activities provided an $88 million net increase in notes and debt
outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility and other commercial paper
programs, and a $39 million net increase in long-term debt. Additionally, $22
million was borrowed under the Mexican credit facility, of which approximately
- 4 -
<PAGE>
half is denominated in Mexican pesos. These were offset by purchases of $144
million of common stock during 1999 in accordance with board approved spending
levels for 1999 and 2000.
Cash flow from the company's manufacturing and financial services
operations is currently sufficient to cover planned investment in the business.
Capital investments for 2000 are expected to be nearly $600 million including
approximately $100 million for the NGV program and $200 million for the NGD
program. In addition to the NGV and NGD programs, capital expenditures are
planned to purchase lease options on engine equipment, to add a school bus
facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and for normal improvements to existing facilities
and products. The company had outstanding capital commitments of $505
million at October 31, 1999, including $91 million for the NGV program and $325
million through 2003 for the NGD program.
The company currently estimates $460 million and $500 million in capital
spending and $190 million and $120 million in development expense through 2004
for the NGV and NGD programs, respectively. Approximately $90 million and $20
million of the development expenses are planned for 2000. Included in the NGD
amounts for capital spending and development expense are the company's planned
investment to produce new high technology diesel engines in Huntsville, Alabama.
During October 1999, the company's board of directors approved a new share
repurchase program for as much as $243 million. Under the new repurchase
program, shares will be purchased on the open market from time to time; however,
the company cannot purchase more than 4.5 million shares through March 2001
without impairing the use of its tax loss carryforwards. Through November 1999,
the company has purchased $46 million worth of shares under this program,
including $11 million in fiscal 1999.
The company's truck assembly facility in Escobedo, Mexico is encumbered by
a lien in favor of certain lenders of the company as collateral for a $125
million revolving Mexican credit facility. At October 31, 1999, $52 million of a
Mexican subsidiary's receivables were pledged as collateral for bank borrowings.
In addition, as of October 31, 1999, the company is contingently liable for
approximately $204 million for various purchasing commitments, credit guarantees
and buyback programs. Based on historical loss trends, the company's exposure is
not considered material. Additionally, restrictions under the terms of the
senior and senior subordinated notes and the Mexican credit facility include a
limitation on indebtedness and a limitation on certain restricted payments.
NFC has traditionally obtained funds to provide financing to the company's
dealers and retail customers from sales of finance receivables, commercial
paper, short and long-term bank borrowings, medium and long-term debt and equity
capital. At October 31, 1999, NFC's funding consisted of sold finance
receivables of $2,296 million, bank and other borrowings of $1,287 million,
subordinated debt of $100 million, capital lease obligations of $323 million and
equity of $280 million.
Through the asset-backed markets, NFC has been able to fund fixed rate
retail note receivables at rates offered to companies with investment grade
ratings. During 1999, NFC sold $1,260 million of retail notes through Navistar
Financial Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC), a wholly owned subsidiary of
NFC. At October 31, 1999, the remaining shelf registration available to NFRRC
for the public issuance of asset-backed securities was $2,257 million. Also, at
October 31, 1999, Navistar Financial Securities Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of NFC, had in place a revolving wholesale note trust that provides
for the funding of $600 million of wholesale notes.
At October 31, 1999, available funding under NFC's bank revolving credit
facility and the asset-backed commercial paper facility was $87 million, of
which $35 million was used to back short-term debt. The remaining $52 million,
when combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, made $90 million
available to fund the general business purposes of NFC.
- 5 -
<PAGE>
In November 1999, NFC sold $533 million of retail notes, net of unearned
finance income, through NFRRC to two multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper
conduits sponsored by a major financial institution. The gain on the sale, which
was not material, was recognized in November 1999.
NFC's maximum contractual exposure under all receivable sale recourse
provisions at October 31, 1999, was $257 million. However, management believes
the recorded reserves for losses on sold receivables are adequate. See Note 5 to
the Financial Statements.
At October 31, 1999, NFC held forward interest rate contracts with notional
amounts of $500 million and $75 million in anticipation of retail receivable
sales to occur in November 1999 and March 2000, respectively. These contracts
were entered into to reduce exposure to future changes in interest rates. NFC
intends to close these positions on the pricing dates of the sales. Any
resulting gain or loss will be included in the gain or loss on the sales of
receivables. For the protection of investors in NFC's debt securities, NFC
issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap, $374 million,
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, NFC will make payments if
interest rates exceed certain levels. The interest rate cap is recorded at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in income. At October 31, 1999, the
impact on income was not material.
In addition, the company held German mark, Japanese yen, and Canadian
dollar forward contracts with notional amounts of $49 million, $13 million, and
$10 million, respectively, and other derivative contracts with notional amounts
of $19 million. At October 31, 1999, the unrealized net loss on these contracts
was not material.
At October 31, 1999, the Canadian operating subsidiary was contingently
liable for retail customers' contracts and leases financed by a third party. The
Canadian operating subsidiary is subject to maximum recourse of $251 million on
retail contracts and $22 million on retail leases. The Canadian operating
subsidiary, NFC and certain other subsidiaries included in the financial
services operations are parties to agreements that may result in the restriction
of amounts which can be distributed to Transportation in the form of dividends
or loans and advances. At October 31, 1999, the maximum amount of dividends
which were available for distribution under the most restrictive covenants was
$220 million.
The company and Transportation are obligated under certain agreements with
public and private lenders of NFC to maintain the subsidiary's income before
interest expense and income taxes at not less than 125% of its total interest
expense. No income maintenance payments were required for the three years ended
October 31, 1999.
In May 1999, Moody's and Duff and Phelps raised the company's senior debt
ratings from Ba1 and BB+ to Baa3 and BBB-, respectively and raised the company's
subordinated debt ratings from Ba3 and BB- to Ba2 and BB, respectively. NFC's
senior debt ratings increased from Ba1 and BBB- to Baa3 and BBB, respectively.
NFC's subordinated debt ratings were also raised from Ba3 and BB+ to Ba2 and
BBB-, respectively.
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, capital investments and planned
repurchases of common stock. 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 the company's dealers and customers.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The company has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP), in
conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising under an
environmental protection law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, popularly known as the Superfund law. These
cases involve sites which allegedly have received wastes from current or former
company locations. Based on information available to the company, which, in most
- 6 -
<PAGE>
cases, consists of data related to quantities and characteristics of material
generated at, or shipped to, each site as well as cost estimates from PRPs
and/or federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a
reasonable estimate is calculated of the company's share, if any, of the
probable costs and is provided for in the financial statements. These
obligations are generally recognized no later than completion of the remedial
feasibility study and are not discounted to their present value. The company
reviews its accruals on a regular basis and believes that, based on these
calculations, its share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup of
each site will not have a material effect on the company's financial results.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As disclosed in Notes 1 and 10 to the Financial Statements, the company
uses derivative financial instruments to transfer or reduce the risks of foreign
exchange and interest rate volatility, and potentially increase the return on
invested funds.
The company's manufacturing operations, as conditions warrant, hedge
foreign exchange exposure on the purchase of parts and materials from foreign
countries and its exposure from the sale of manufactured products in other
countries. Contracted purchases of commodities or manufacturing equipment may
also be hedged.
The financial services operations may use forward contracts to hedge the
fair value of their fixed rate receivables against changes in market interest
rates in anticipation of the sale of such receivables. The financial services
operations also use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate
changes when they sell fixed rate receivables on a variable rate basis. For the
protection of investors in NFC's debt securities, NFC may write interest rate
caps when fixed rate receivables are sold on a variable rate basis.
MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE
The company's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates
and currency exchange rates. The company is also exposed to changes in the
prices of commodities used in its manufacturing operations and to changes in the
prices of equity instruments owned by the company. Commodity price risk related
to the company's current commodity financial instruments and equity price risk
related to the company's current investments in equity instruments are not
material. The company does not hold any material market risk sensitive
instruments for trading purposes.
The company has established policies and procedures to manage sensitivity
to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate market risk. These
procedures include the monitoring of the company's level of exposure to each
market risk, the funding of variable rate receivables with variable rate debt,
and limiting the amount of fixed rate receivables which may be funded with
floating rate debt. These procedures also include the use of derivative
financial instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate fluctuations and
to reduce the exposure to exchange rate risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the company will incur economic losses
due to adverse changes in interest rates. The company measures its interest rate
risk by estimating the net amount by which the fair value of all of its interest
rate sensitive assets and liabilities would be impacted by selected hypothetical
changes in market interest rates. Fair value is estimated using a discounted
cash flow analysis. Assuming a hypothetical instantaneous 10% decrease in
interest rates as of October 31, 1999 and 1998, the net fair value of these
instruments would decrease by approximately $5 million in each year. The
company's interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift in
interest rate yield curves. The model, therefore, does not reflect the potential
impact of changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest
rates.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the company will incur economic
losses due to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company's
primary exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations are the Canadian
dollar/U.S. dollar and Mexican peso/U.S. dollar. At October 31, 1999 and 1998,
the potential reduction in future earnings from a hypothetical instantaneous 10%
adverse change in quoted foreign currency spot rates applied to foreign currency
- 7 -
<PAGE>
sensitive instruments would be approximately $10 million in each year. The
foreign currency sensitivity model is limited by the assumption that all of the
foreign currencies to which the company is exposed would simultaneously decrease
by 10%, because such synchronized changes are unlikely to occur. The effects of
foreign currency forward contracts have been included in the above analysis;
however, the sensitivity model does not include the inherent risks associated
with the anticipated future transactions denominated in foreign currency for
which these forward contracts have been entered into for hedging purposes.
YEAR 2000
In 1995, the company instituted a corporate-wide Year 2000 readiness
project to identify all systems which will require modification or replacement,
and to establish appropriate remediation and contingency plans to avoid an
impact on the company's ability to continue to provide its products and
services. Navistar has established a team of professionals within each of its
sites and locations to implement and complete this initiative. In 1997, the
company expanded its Year 2000 readiness project to include the company's
products, external suppliers, dealers and facilities.
The company's Year 2000 program is directed to four major areas: products,
internal systems (including information technology (IT) and non-IT systems),
suppliers and dealers.
The company has completed its compliance review of virtually all of its
products and has not learned of any products which it manufactures that will
cease functioning or experience an interruption in operation as a result of the
transition to the Year 2000.
The internal systems portion of the project addresses personal computing;
facilities, including the physical "machines" inside a plant or office complex;
and computer business systems that are commonly run on larger mainframes and
mid-range computers as well as the supporting infrastructure for the company's
computer business systems. The company presently believes that it has identified
all significant applications that require remediation, which in some cases will
involve the replacement of the systems, to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Both
internal and external resources are being used to make the required
modifications and test for Year 2000 compliance. At November 30, 1999, the
company estimates that it was 99.8% complete with the conversion or compliance
checking of its internal systems including significant applications. The company
is targeting the completion of the modifications and testing processes to all
significant applications by mid-December 1999, which is prior to any anticipated
impact on its operating systems. Remaining significant applications have
contingency plans available.
The company has completed assessing the Year 2000 readiness of its
production and service parts suppliers through a supplier survey process
designed and coordinated by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG).
Responses to these questionnaires have been received and based on these
responses, individual supplier contacts and 160 on-site assessments, the company
believes that the majority of these suppliers have successfully completed their
Year 2000 readiness programs. In addition, contingency plans have been
established for all suppliers to assure an uninterrupted flow of materials in
the unlikely event there are some that have unexpected problems.
NFC has received written assurances from its major suppliers of cash
management services that their main treasury management products and required
backroom processing have been tested and deemed ready for the Year 2000.
The company is working with its independent dealers on their Year 2000
readiness and monitoring their progress. The company has contacted all dealers
and is working with its certified Dealer Business Systems Vendors to assist the
dealers in becoming Year 2000 compliant. Compliance of all certified dealers
systems is targeted for completion in December 1999.
The company's total cost of the Year 2000 project, which will be funded
through operating cash flows, is estimated to be $32 million, including $26
million of estimated expense and $6 million of capital expenditures.
Approximately $23 million has been expensed and approximately $6 million has
- 8 -
<PAGE>
been capitalized through October 31, 1999. The remaining costs are estimated to
be incurred in fiscal year 2000. The company's estimated annual expense for the
Year 2000 project is not material to the company's fiscal 2000 information
technology budget. Other non-Year 2000 information technology efforts have not
been materially delayed or impacted by the Year 2000 project.
The costs of the Year 2000 project and the dates on which the company
believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications and testing are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
regarding 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 currently anticipated. Examples of 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 embedded technology, and similar
uncertainties. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the systems or
products of other entities, including the company's independent dealers, on
which the company relies will be converted on a timely basis, or that a failure
to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible with the
company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the company.
The company currently believes that the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario with respect to the Year 2000 issue is the failure of a supplier,
including utility suppliers, to become Year 2000 compliant, which could result
in the temporary interruption of the supply of necessary products or services to
a manufacturing facility. This could result in interruptions in production for a
period of time, which in turn could result in potential lost sales and profits.
Additionally, sales, general and administrative expense could increase if
automated functions would need to be performed manually.
The company currently believes that the most reasonably likely worst case
scenario for its financial services operations with respect to the Year 2000
issue would be the inability to sustain its current level of performance and
customer service. Additionally, a significant failure of the banking systems or
key entities in the financial markets could adversely affect the financial
services operations' ability to access various credit and money markets.
As part of its continuous assessment process, each of the business
locations have prepared contingency plans for critical business processes that
will be placed into effect in the event of a Year 2000 problem. These plans
identify when contingent actions should be taken and identify the resources
necessary for a proper response. Review and testing of the contingency plans
will continue through the remainder of 1999, along with the necessary training
of people that will manage through the crossover into the Year 2000.
Checklists have been established for each of the contingency plans, against
which status will be measured as the crossover occurs. The first priority will
be to determine that computing platforms, data base management systems and
communication networks for both voice and data are functioning properly.
Immediately following, a series of production applications have been scheduled
to run, with the objective being to quickly identify any remaining Year 2000
problems, and to initiate corrective actions promptly.
A Year 2000 command center structure has been established to facilitate the
management of activities and communications, consisting of a central center and
10 subsidiary centers defined for the business locations. Staffing has been
identified for each of the centers, along with the procedures to manage the
implementation of the defined pre and post-Year 2000 activities.
Navistar is using its best efforts to ensure that the Year 2000 impact on
its critical systems and processes will not affect its supply of product,
quality or service. However, in the event that the company is unable to complete
its remedial actions described above and is unable to implement adequate
contingency plans in the event problems arise, there could be a material adverse
effect on the company's business, financial position or results of operations.

The preceding Year 2000 discussion contains various forward-looking
statements which represent the company's beliefs or expectations regarding
future events. When used in the Year 2000 discussion, the words "believes,"
"expects," "estimates," "planned," "could," and similar expressions are intended
to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, the company's expectations as to when it will complete the
remediation and testing phases of its Year 2000 program as well as its Year 2000
contingency plans; its estimated cost of achieving Year 2000 readiness; and the
company's belief that its internal systems and equipment will be Year 2000
compliant in a timely manner. All forward-looking statements involve a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially
from the projected results. Factors that may cause these differences include,
but are not limited to, the availability of qualified personnel and other
information technology resources; the ability to identify and remediate all
date-sensitive lines of computer code or to replace embedded computer chips in
affected systems or equipment; and the actions of governmental agencies or other
third parties with respect to Year 2000 problems.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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. The company adopted this statement effective
November 1, 1999. At planned 2000 spending levels, adoption of this statement
will result in the company capitalizing approximately $25 million of certain
costs that would have otherwise been expensed.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), to establish accounting and
reporting requirements for derivative instruments. This standard requires
recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of financial
condition as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. This
statement additionally requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to be
recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income depending on
the intended use of the derivatives. The company is currently assessing the
impact of this statement on the company's results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which
amends SFAS 133 by deferring for one year, the effective date of SFAS 133, to
those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
INCOME TAXES
The Statement of Financial Condition at October 31, 1999 and 1998 includes
a deferred tax asset of $896 million and $912 million, respectively, net of
valuation allowances of $86 million and $264 million, respectively, related to
future tax benefits. The deferred tax asset has been reduced by the valuation
allowance as management believes it is more likely than not that some portion of
the deferred tax asset may not be realized in the future.
The deferred tax asset includes the tax benefits associated with cumulative
tax losses of $1,134 million and temporary differences, which represent the
cumulative expense of $1,224 million recorded in the Statement of Income that
has not been deducted on the company's tax returns. The valuation allowance at
October 31, 1999, assumes that it is more likely than not that approximately
$226 million of cumulative tax losses will not be realized before their
expiration date. Realization of the net deferred tax asset is dependent on the
generation of approximately $2,400 million of future taxable income. Until the
company has utilized its significant net operating loss carryforwards, the cash
payment of U.S. federal income taxes will be minimal. See Note 3 to the
Financial Statements.
The company performs extensive analysis to determine the amount of the
deferred tax asset. Such analysis is based on the premise that the company is,
and will continue to be, a going concern and that it is more likely than not
that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future
- 10 -
<PAGE>
taxable income. Management reviews all available evidence, both positive and
negative, to assess the long-term earnings potential of the company. The
financial results are evaluated using a number of alternatives in economic
cycles at various industry volume conditions. One significant factor considered
is the company's role as a leading producer of heavy and medium trucks and
school buses and mid-range diesel engines.
As a result of the increase in 1999 industry demand, the continued
successful implementation of the company's manufacturing strategies, changes in
the company's operating structure, and other positive operating indicators,
management reviewed its projected future taxable income and evaluated the impact
of these changes on its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. This review was
completed during the third quarter of 1999 and resulted in a reduction to the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $178 million which has been recorded
as a reduction of income tax expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 8%.
In addition, a $45 million reduction in the allowance was recorded during the
fourth quarter of 1998 based on a similar review. Management believes that, with
the combination of available tax planning strategies and the maintenance of
significant market share, earnings are achievable in order to realize the net
deferred tax asset of $896 million.
Reconciliation of the company's income before income taxes for financial
statement purposes to U.S. taxable income for the years ended October 31 is as
follows:
Millions of dollars 1999 1998 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Sales of Class 5 through 8 trucks have historically been 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 1999. The decrease in the number of
new truck orders has decreased the company's order backlog to a more normal
level of 57,300 units at October 31, 1999, from 72,100 units at October 31,
1998. The company continually evaluates order receipts and backlog throughout
the year and will balance production with demand as appropriate.
The company currently projects 2000 U.S. and Canadian Class 8 heavy truck
demand to be 245,000 units, a 14% decrease from 1999. Although lower, this level
of demand is still considered strong allowing Navistar to produce at record
capacity levels. Process improvements and capacity expansions have been
implemented to enhance the company's ability to meet customer demand for its
products. Class 5, 6 and 7 medium truck demand, excluding school buses is
forecast at 128,000 units, 12% lower than in 1999. Demand for school buses is
expected to decrease only 5% in 2000 to 32,000 units. Mid-range diesel engine
shipments by the company to OEMs in 2000 are expected to be 324,000 units, 13%
higher than in 1999.
In 1999, the company announced that it had finalized a joint venture with a
Brazilian diesel engine producer to manufacture diesel engines in South America.
In June 1999, the employees represented by Local 127 of the Canadian Auto
Workers voted to ratify a new three-year labor agreement. The new contract
extends through June 1, 2002. Increased labor and pension costs associated with
the new contract are expected to be offset by work rule changes that provide
increased manufacturing flexibility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
Navistar International Corporation is a holding company, whose principal
operating subsidiary is Navistar International Transportation Corp.
(Transportation). As used hereafter, "company" or "Navistar" refers to Navistar
International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Navistar operates
in three principal industry segments: truck, engine (collectively called
"manufacturing operations") and financial services.
The company's truck segment is engaged in the manufacture and marketing of
Class 5 through 8 trucks, including school buses, and operates primarily in the
United States (U.S.) and Canada as well as in Mexico, Brazil and other selected
export markets. The company's engine segment is engaged in the design and
manufacture of mid-range diesel engines and operates primarily in the U.S. and
Brazil. The financial services operations of the company provide wholesale,
retail and lease financing, and domestic commercial physical damage and
liability insurance coverage to the company's dealers and retail customers and
to the general public through an independent insurance agency system.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of the company'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. Certain
1998 and 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation
used in the 1999 financial statements. During 1999, the company adopted a
classified balance sheet format; 1998 balances have been reclassified to conform
with the presentation used in 1999.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Truck operations recognize shipments of new trucks and service parts to
dealers and retail customers as sales. Price allowances, expected in the normal
course of business, and the cost of special incentive programs are recorded at
the time of sale. Engine sales are recognized at the time of shipment to
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). An allowance for losses on receivables
is maintained at an amount that management considers appropriate in relation to
the outstanding receivables portfolio, and it is charged when receivables are
determined to be uncollectible.
Financial services operations recognize finance charges on finance
receivables as income over the term of the receivables utilizing the interest
method. Operating lease revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the lease. Selected receivables are securitized and sold to public
and private investors with limited recourse. Gains or losses on sales of
receivables are credited or charged to revenue in the period in which the sale
occurs. Financial services operations continue to service the sold receivables
and receive a fee for such services. An allowance for losses is maintained at a
level deemed appropriate based on such factors as overall portfolio quality,
historical loss experience and current economic conditions.
Insurance premiums are earned on a prorata basis over the terms of the
policies. The liability for unpaid insurance claims includes provisions for
reported claims and an estimate of unreported claims based on past experience.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of three months or
less from date of purchase, consisting primarily of bankers' acceptances,
commercial paper, U.S. government securities and floating rate notes, are
classified as cash equivalents in the Statements of Financial Condition and Cash
Flow.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and
are reported at fair value. The difference between amortized cost and fair value
is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in
shareowners' equity, net of applicable deferred taxes. Securities with remaining
maturities of less than twelve months and other investments needed for current
cash requirements are classified as current within the Statement of Financial
Condition. All equity securities are classified as current because they are
highly liquid financial instruments which can be readily converted to cash. All
other securities are classified as non-current.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or market.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and Other Long-Lived Assets
Significant expenditures for replacement of equipment, tooling and pattern
equipment, and major rebuilding of machine tools are capitalized. Depreciation
and amortization are generally provided on the straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which average 35 years for buildings and
improvements and eight years for machinery and equipment. Gains and losses on
property disposals are included in other income and expense. The carrying amount
of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to
the depreciation and amortization period or to the unamortized balance is
warranted. Such evaluation is based principally on the expected utilization of
the long-lived assets and the projected, undiscounted cash flows of the
operations in which the long-lived assets are deployed.
Engineering and Research Expense
Engineering and research expense includes research and development expenses
and routine ongoing costs associated with improving existing products and
manufacturing processes. Research and development expenses, which include
activities for the introduction of new truck and engine products and major
improvements to existing products and processes, totaled $207 million, $138
million and $85 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Product Related Costs
The company accrues warranty expense at the time of end product sale.
Product liability expense is accrued based on the estimate of total future
payments to settle product liability claims.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The company uses derivatives to transfer or reduce risks of foreign
exchange and interest rate volatility and to potentially increase the return on
invested funds. Financial services operations may use forward contracts to hedge
the fair value of its fixed rate receivables against changes in market interest
rates in anticipation of the sale of such receivables. Financial services
operations also use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate
changes when they sell fixed rate receivables on a variable rate basis. For the
protection of investors in Navistar Financial Corporation's (NFC) debt
securities, NFC may write interest rate caps when fixed rate receivables are
sold on a variable rate basis. The company also uses derivatives such as forward
contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange volatility.
Derivative financial instruments are generally held for purposes other than
trading. Income recognition of changes in fair values of the derivatives is
deferred until the derivative instruments are closed. Gains or losses related to
hedges of anticipated transactions are deferred until they are recognized in
income when the effects of the anticipated transactions are recognized in
earnings. The principal balance of receivables expected to be sold by NFC equals
or exceeds the notional amount of open forward contracts. Additionally, the
value of committed purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency generally exceeds the notional amount of related open derivative
contracts.

Foreign Currency
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S.
dollars using the period-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities and a
weighted-average exchange rate for each period for revenues and expenses. The
local currency is the functional currency for the company's foreign subsidiaries
and translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are recorded as a component
of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareowners' equity. Effective
February 1, 1999, the functional currency of the company's Mexican subsidiaries
changed from the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso because Mexico's economy is no
longer considered highly inflationary. The effect of this change was not
material. Translation gains and losses arising from fluctuations in currency
exchange rates on transactions denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency are recognized in earnings as incurred, except for those
transactions which hedge purchase commitments and for those intercompany
balances which are designated as long-term investments. Net income included a
foreign currency transaction loss of $10 million in 1999 and foreign currency
transaction gains of $4 million in 1998 and $2 million in 1997.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective November 1, 1998, Navistar adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified as
required by this statement. Effective November 1, 1998, Navistar adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). See Note 13 to the
Financial Statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
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. The company adopted this statement effective
November 1, 1999. At planned 2000 spending levels, adoption of this statement
will result in the company capitalizing approximately $25 million of certain
costs that would have otherwise been expensed.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), to establish accounting and
reporting requirements for derivative instruments. This standard requires
recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of financial
condition as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. This
statement additionally requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to be
recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income depending on
the intended use of the derivatives. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133," which amends SFAS 133 by deferring for one year the effective date of SFAS
133, to those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The company is
currently assessing the impact of SFAS 133 on the company's results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.

2. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The company provides postretirement benefits to substantially all of its
employees. Costs associated with postretirement benefits include pension and
postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees and surviving
spouses and dependents. In addition, as part of the 1993 restructured health
care and life insurance plans, profit sharing payments to the Retiree
Supplemental Benefit Trust (Trust) are required.
The cost of postretirement benefits is segregated as a separate component
in the Statement of Income and is as follows:
Millions of dollars 1999 1998 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pension expense...................... $ 77 $ 74 $ 129
Health/life insurance................ 65 42 66
Profit sharing provision to Trust.... 74 58 20
-------- -------- --------
Total postretirement benefits expense $ 216 $ 174 $ 215
======== ======== ========
Generally, the pension plans are non-contributory. The company's policy is
to fund its pension plans in accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian
government regulations and to make additional payments as funds are available to
achieve full funding of the accumulated benefit obligation. At October 31, 1999,
all legal funding requirements had been met. In 2000, the company expects to
contribute approximately $85 million to its pension plans to meet legal
requirements.
In 1993, the Retiree Health Benefit Trust was established to provide a
vehicle for funding the health care liability through company contributions and
retiree premiums. The company made a required prefunding contribution of $200
million to this trust during 1998.
Postretirement Benefits Expense
Net periodic benefits expense included in the Statement of Income is

The accumulated other comprehensive loss included in shareowners' equity is
recorded in the Statement of Financial Condition net of deferred income taxes of
$91 million and $172 million at October 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair
value of plan assets for the pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations
in excess of plan assets were $2,057 million, $2,056 million and $1,814 million,
respectively, as of October 31, 1999, and $3,393 million, $3,336 million and
$2,931 million respectively, as of October 31, 1998.
During 1998, the pension plans purchased 3 million shares of the company's
common stock. At October 31, 1998, these shares accounted for approximately 2%
of the plans' assets. During 1999, the pension plans sold all of their shares of
the company's common stock.
The weighted average rate assumptions used in determining expenses and
benefit obligations were:

======== ======== ========
The deferred tax expense does not represent cash payment of income taxes
and was primarily generated by the utilization of net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards and the increase of temporary differences, and will not require
future cash payments. Consolidated tax payments made during 1999, 1998 and 1997
were $40 million, $7 million and $10 million, respectively.
The relationship of the tax expense to income before taxes for 1999, 1998
and 1997 differs from the U.S. statutory rate (35%) because of state income
taxes and the benefit of NOL carryforwards in foreign countries. Also, the 1999
and 1998 effective tax rates reflect a $178 million and $45 million reduction in
the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, respectively. A valuation allowance
has been provided for those NOL carryforwards and temporary differences which
are estimated to expire before they are utilized. The effective tax rates for
1999, 1998 and 1997 were 8.0%, 27.0% and 38.0%, respectively.
As a result of continued strong industry demand, the continued successful
implementation of the company's manufacturing strategies, changes in the
company's operating structure, and other positive operating indicators,
management reviewed its projected future taxable income and evaluated the impact
of these changes on its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. This review was
completed during the third quarter of 1999 and resulted in a reduction to the
deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $178 million which reduced income tax
expense during the third quarter of 1999. In addition, a $45 million reduction
in the allowance was recorded during the fourth quarter of 1998 based on a
similar review.

3. INCOME TAXES (continued)
Undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were $126 million and $50
million at October 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Taxes have not been provided
on these earnings because no withholding taxes are applicable upon repatriation
and any U.S. tax would be substantially offset by the utilization of NOL
carryforwards.
Taxpaying entities of the company offset all deferred tax assets and
liabilities within each tax jurisdiction. The components of the deferred tax

The financial services segment purchases the majority of the wholesale
notes receivable and some retail notes and accounts receivable arising from the
company's operations.
A portion of NFC's funding for retail and wholesale notes comes from sales
of receivables by NFC to third parties with limited recourse. NFC's maximum
contractual exposure under all receivable sale recourse provisions at October
31, 1999 was $257 million; however, management believes that the allowance for
credit losses on sold receivables is adequate. Proceeds from sales of retail
notes receivable, net of underwriting costs, were $1,192 million in 1999, $953
million in 1998 and $958 million in 1997. Uncollected sold retail and wholesale
receivable balances totaled $2,296 million and $2,145 million as of October 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
In November 1999, NFC sold $533 million of retail notes, net of unearned
finance income, through Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation
(NFRRC) to two multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduits sponsored by
a major financial institution. The gain on sales, which was not material, was
recognized in November 1999.
Contractual maturities of accounts receivable, retail notes and lease
financing and wholesale notes, including unearned finance income, at October 31,
1999 were: 2000 - $1,550 million, 2001 - $443 million, 2002 - $245 million, 2003
- - $188 million, 2004 - $148 million and thereafter - $49 million. Unearned
finance income totaled $154 million at October 31, 1999. Notes receivable are
due upon demand from a limited partnership that invests in S&P 500 stock index
arbitrage.

2001 - $58 million, 2002 - $44 million, 2003 - $27 million and thereafter - $13
million. Each of these assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
term of the lease in an amount necessary to reduce the leased vehicle to its
estimated residual value at the end of the lease term. Capitalized interest for
1999, 1998, and 1997 was $15 million, $12 million, and $2 million, respectively.

(ABCP) program supported by a bank liquidity facility plus $14 million of trust
certificates issued in connection with the formation of the ABCP trust.
Available funding under the bank revolving credit facility and the ABCP program
was $87 million, of which $35 million provided funding backup for the
outstanding short-term debt at October 31, 1999.
NFC's wholly owned subsidiaries, Navistar Financial Securities Corporation
(NFSC) and NFRRC, have a limited purpose of purchasing retail and wholesale
receivables, respectively, and transferring an undivided ownership interest in
such notes to investors. The subsidiaries have limited recourse on the sold
receivables and their assets are available to satisfy the claims of their
creditors prior to such assets becoming available to NFC or affiliated
companies.

NFSC has in place a revolving wholesale note trust that provides for the
funding of $600 million of wholesale notes. The trust is comprised of three $200
million tranches maturing in 2003, 2004 and 2008.
During fiscal 1999, in two separate sales, NFC sold a total of $1,260
million of retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through NFRRC. The
combined gain recognized on the sale of these notes was $12 million. The
aggregate shelf registration available to NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed
securities is $2,257 million.
NFC has entered into various sale/leaseback agreements involving vehicles
subject to retail finance and operating leases with end users. The outstanding
balances are classified under financial services operations as capitalized

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, as reported in the Statement
of Financial Condition and described in various Notes to the Financial
Statements, and their fair values at October 31 are as follows:
1999 1998
-------------------- --------------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Millions of dollars Amount Value Amount Value

Total receivables, net....... $2,818 $2,824 $2,196 $2,216
Long-term investments
and other assets........... 207 206 127 130
Total debt................... 2,267 2,256 2,122 2,119
Cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value. The cost and fair value
of marketable securities are disclosed in Note 4.
The fair value of notes receivable and retail notes is estimated by
discounting expected cash flows at estimated current market rates. Customer
receivables, wholesale notes and retail and wholesale accounts approximate fair
value as a result of the short-term nature of the receivables.
The fair value of investments and other assets is estimated based on quoted
market prices or by discounting future cash flows.
The short-term debt and variable-rate borrowings under NFC's bank revolving
credit agreement, which are repriced frequently, approximate fair value. The
fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices, when
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated
using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments or discounting
future cash flows.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Derivatives Held or Issued for Purposes Other Than Trading
The company uses derivatives to transfer or reduce risks of foreign
exchange and interest rate volatility, and to potentially increase the return on
invested funds.
The company periodically enters into forward contracts in order to reduce
exposure to exchange rate risk related to purchases denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency.
The financial services operations manage exposures to fluctuations in
interest rates by limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable
rate debt generally by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and
by utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial
instruments may include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and forward
contracts. The fair value of these instruments is subject to risk as the
instruments may become less valuable due to changes in market conditions or
interest rates. NFC manages exposure to counter-party credit risk by entering
into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can
be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. NFC's credit
exposure is limited to the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at
the reporting date. Notional amounts are used to measure the volume of
derivative financial instruments and do not represent exposure to credit loss.
The financial services operations enter into forward contracts to manage
their exposure to fluctuations in the fair value of retail notes anticipated to
be sold. The financial services operations manage such risk by entering into
forward contracts to sell fixed debt securities or forward interest rate swaps
whose fair value is highly correlated with that of its receivables. Income
recognition of changes in fair value of the derivatives is deferred until the
derivative instruments are closed. Gains or losses incurred with the closing of
these agreements are included as a component of the gain or loss on sale of
receivables.
In November 1998, NFC sold $545 million of fixed rate retail receivables to
a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major
financial institution on a variable rate basis. For the protection of investors,
NFC issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap, $374 million,
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, NFC will make payments if
interest rates exceed certain levels. The interest rate cap is recorded at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in income. As of October 31, 1999,
the impact on income was not material.
At October 31, 1999, NFC held forward interest rate contracts with notional
amounts of $500 million and $75 million in anticipation of retail receivable
sales to occur in November 1999 and March 2000, respectively. In addition, the
company held German mark, Japanese yen and Canadian dollar forward contracts
with notional amounts of $49 million, $13 million, and $10 million,
respectively, and other derivative contracts with notional amounts of $19
million. At October 31, 1999, the unrealized net loss on these contracts was not
material.

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, RESTRICTED ASSETS, CONCENTRATIONS AND LEASES
Commitments, Contingencies and Restricted Assets
At October 31, 1999, commitments for capital expenditures in progress were
approximately $505 million. The company's truck assembly facility located in
Escobedo, Mexico is encumbered by a lien in favor of certain lenders of the
company as collateral for the $125 million revolving Mexican credit facility. At
October 31, 1999, $52 million of a Mexican subsidiary's receivables were pledged
as collateral for bank borrowings. In addition, as of October 31, 1999, the
company is contingently liable for approximately $204 million for various
purchasing commitments, credit guarantees and buyback programs. Based on
historical loss trends, the company's exposure is not considered material.
Additionally, restrictions under the terms on the senior and senior subordinated
notes and Mexican credit facility include a limitation on indebtedness and a
limitation on certain restricted payments.
At October 31, 1999, the Canadian operating subsidiary was contingently
liable for retail customers' contracts and leases financed by a third party. The
Canadian operating subsidiary is subject to maximum recourse of $251 million on
retail contracts and $22 million on retail leases. The Canadian operating
subsidiary, NFC and certain other subsidiaries included in financial services
operations are parties to agreements that may result in the restriction of
amounts which can be distributed to Transportation in the form of dividends or
loans and advances. At October 31, 1999, the maximum amount of dividends which
were available for distribution under the most restrictive covenants was $220
million.
The company and Transportation are obligated under certain agreements with
public and private lenders of NFC to maintain the subsidiary's income before
interest expense and income taxes at not less than 125% of its total interest
expense. No income maintenance payments were required for the three years ended
October 31, 1999.
Concentrations
At October 31, 1999, the company employed 10,800 hourly workers and 6,700
salaried workers in the United States and Canada. Approximately 98% of the
hourly employees and 21% of the salaried employees are represented by unions. Of
these represented employees, 92% of the hourly workers and 100% of the salaried
workers are represented by the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (UAW) or the National Automobile, Aerospace, and
Agricultural Implement Workers of Canada (CAW). The company's current master
contract with the UAW expires on October 1, 2002. The collective bargaining
agreement with the CAW expires on June 1, 2002. Additionally, of the company's
1,070 employees in Mexico, approximately 71% are represented by a union.
Reflecting higher consumer demand for light trucks and vans, sales of
mid-range diesel engines to Ford Motor Company by the engine segment were 17% of
consolidated sales and revenues in 1999 and 14% in both 1998 and 1997. The
company has a 10-year agreement, effective with model year 2003, to continue
supplying Ford Motor Company with diesel engines for use in its diesel-powered
light trucks and vans.

11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, RESTRICTED ASSETS, CONCENTRATIONS,
AND LEASES (continued)
Leases
The company has long-term noncancellable leases for use of various
equipment and facilities. Lease terms are generally for five to 25 years and, in
many cases, provide for renewal options. The company is generally obligated for
the cost of property taxes, insurance and maintenance. The company leases office
buildings, distribution centers, furniture and equipment, machinery and
equipment, and computer equipment.
The majority of the company's lease payments are for operating leases. At
October 31, 1999, future minimum lease payments under operating leases having
lease terms in excess of one year are: 2000 - $43 million, 2001 - $33 million,
2002 - $21 million, 2003 - $19 million, 2004 - $9 million and thereafter - $26
million. Total operating lease expense was $30 million in 1999, $36 million in
1998 and $40 million in 1997. Income received from sublease rentals was $7
million in 1999 and 1998 and $6 million in 1997.
12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in
the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings
which constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the
company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of the company's management, none
of these proceedings or claims is material to the business or the financial
condition of the company.
The company has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP), in
conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising under an
environmental protection law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, popularly known as the Superfund law. These
cases involve sites which allegedly have received wastes from current or former
company locations. Based on information available to the company, which, in most
cases, consists of data related to quantities and characteristics of material
generated at or shipped to each site as well as cost estimates from PRPs and/or
federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a
reasonable estimate is calculated of the company's share, if any, of the
probable costs and is provided for in the financial statements. These
obligations are generally recognized no later than completion of the remedial
feasibility study and are not discounted to their present value. The company
reviews its accruals on a regular basis and believes that, based on these
calculations, its share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup of
each site will not have a material effect on the company's financial results.

13. SEGMENT DATA
Effective November 1, 1998, Navistar adopted SFAS 131. Segment data for
1998 and 1997 has been restated. Under the provisions of the new standard,
Navistar has three reportable segments: truck, engine and financial services.
The company's reportable segments are organized according to the products and
the markets they each serve.
The company's truck segment manufactures and distributes a full line of
diesel-powered trucks and school buses in the common carrier, private carrier,
government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and student
transportation markets. The truck segment also provides customers with
proprietary products needed to support the International truck and bus lines,
together with a wide selection of standard truck and trailer aftermarket parts.
The company's engine segment designs and manufactures diesel engines for
use in the company's Class 5, 6 and 7 medium trucks and school buses and
selected Class 8 heavy truck models, and for sale to OEMs in the U.S. and
Mexico. This segment also sells engines for industrial, agricultural and marine
applications. In addition, the engine segment provides customers with
proprietary products needed to support the International engine lines, together
with a wide selection of standard engine and aftermarket parts.
The company's financial services segment consists of NFC, its domestic
insurance subsidiary and the company's foreign finance and insurance
subsidiaries. NFC's primary business is the retail, wholesale and lease
financing of products sold by the truck segment and its dealers within the U.S.
as well as the company's wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts
receivable. NFC's insurance subsidiary provides commercial physical damage and
liability insurance to the truck segment's dealers and retail customers and to
the general public through an independent insurance agency system. The foreign
finance subsidiaries' primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and lease
financing to the Mexican operations' dealers and retail customers.
The company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on
operating profits, which exclude certain corporate items, and retiree pension
and medical expense. Additionally, the operating profits of the company's truck
and engine segments exclude most interest revenue and expense items.
Intersegment sales are transferred at prices established by an agreement between
the buying and selling locations.

14. PREFERRED AND PREFERENCE STOCKS
The company's Nonconvertible Junior Preference Stock Series A was held for
the Retiree Supplemental Benefit Program by the Supplemental Trust. This stock
was redeemed in October 1999 at a redemption price of $1.00 per share. The UAW
holds the Nonconvertible Junior Preference Stock Series B and is currently
entitled to elect one member of the company's board of directors. At October 31,
1999, there was one share of Series B Preference stock authorized and
outstanding. The value of the preference share is minimal.
On April 20, 1999, the company's board of directors adopted a shareholder
rights plan (Rights Plan) and declared a rights dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (Right) for each outstanding share of common stock (Common
Shares) of the company to shareowners of record as of the close of business on
May 3, 1999. Subject to the terms of the Rights Plan, each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from the company one one-thousandth of a share of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the company (Preferred Shares)
at a price of $175 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. The Rights are exercisable only if a person or group (Acquiring
Person) acquires 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares and commences a
tender offer for 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares. Upon any such
occurrence, each Right will entitle its holder (other than the Acquiring Person
and certain related parties) to purchase, at the Right's then current exercise
price, a number of Common Shares having a market value of two times such price.
Similarly, in the event the company is acquired in a merger or other business
combination and is not the surviving corporation, each Right (other than Rights
owned by the Acquiring Person and certain related parties) shall thereafter be
exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right. Subject to
certain conditions, the Rights are redeemable by the company's board of
directors for $0.01 per Right and are exchangeable for Common Shares. The Rights
have no voting power and initially expire on May 3, 2009.
During 1998, the company redeemed all 4.8 million shares of its $6.00
Series G Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $50 per
share plus accrued dividends. At October 31, 1999, there were 168,000 shares of
Series D Convertible Junior Preference Stock (Series D) outstanding and 3
million authorized and issued with an optional redemption price and liquidation
preference of $25 per share plus accrued dividends. The Series D converts into
common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) at .3125 per
share. The Series D ranks senior to common stock as to dividends and liquidation
and receives dividends at a rate of 120% of the cash dividends on common stock
as declared on an as-converted basis.
Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL),
dividends may only be paid out of surplus or out of net profits for the fiscal
year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year, and no
dividend may be paid on common stock at any time during which the capital of
outstanding preferred stock or preference stock exceeds the net assets of the
company. At October 31, 1999, the company had a surplus of $1,283 million as
defined under DGCL.

15. COMMON SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY (continued)
Common Stock (continued)
In January 1998, the company repurchased 3.2 million shares of the Class B
common stock that was outstanding. During June 1998, a secondary public offering
of the common stock of the company was completed, in which the Navistar
International Transportation Corp. Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust (Trust)
sold approximately 19.9 million shares of common stock at an offering price of
$26.50 per share. These shares represented the Class B common stock held by the
Trust which automatically converted into common stock upon the sale. In
conjunction with this offering, the company purchased 2 million of the shares
being offered. The company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
shares in the offering. In addition, the underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option and elected to purchase 1.1 million shares from the
company at $26.50 per share. The company offset the dilution through open market
purchases.
During 1999, the company purchased $133 million of shares as approved by
the board of directors in 1998. Additional purchases of $11 million were made in
1999 under a new share repurchase program approved by the board in October 1999.
This program provides for the purchase of up to $243 million of shares on the
open market from time to time, however, the company cannot purchase more than
4.5 million shares through March 2001 without impairing the use of its tax loss
carryforward. Through November 1999, the company purchased an additional $35
million under the new program.

Unexercised employee stock options to purchase .2 million, .5 million and
1.5 million shares of Navistar common stock during the years ended October 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were not included in the computation of
diluted shares outstanding because the exercise prices were greater than the
average market prices of Navistar common stock. Additionally, the diluted
calculations for 1998 and 1997 exclude the effects of the conversion of the
Series G preferred stock as such conversion would have been anti-dilutive.

17. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The company has stock-based compensation plans, approved by the Committee
on Compensation and Governance of the board of directors, which provide for
granting of stock options to employees for purchase of common stock at the fair
market value of the stock on the date of grant. The grants generally have a
10-year life.
The company has elected to continue to account for stock option grants to
employees and directors in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for fixed stock options because the exercise prices of the stock
options equal the market value of the company's common stock at the date of
grant. Had compensation cost for the plans been determined based upon the fair
value at the grant date consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," pro forma net
income would have been $542 million in 1999, $297 million in 1998 and $147
million in 1997; pro forma diluted earnings per share would have been $8.16 in
1999, $4.09 in 1998 and $1.61 in 1997; and pro forma basic earnings per share
would have been $8.30 in 1999, $4.14 in 1998 and $1.62 in 1997. The pro forma
effect on net income for 1999 and 1998 may not be representative of the pro
forma effect on net income of future years as in 1999 and 1998, one-third of the
options granted became exercisable on each of the first, second and third
anniversaries of grant. Prior to 1998, grants were generally exercisable after
one year.
The weighted-average fair values at date of grant for options granted
during 1999, 1998 and 1997 were $8.15, $7.53 and $5.71, respectively, and were
estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions:

(A)- Omitted or amended as the registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Navistar International Transportation Corp. and meets the conditions set
forth in General Instructions I(1) (a) and (b) of Form 10-K and is,
therefore, filing this Form with the reduced disclosure format.
<PAGE>
PART I
Item 1. Business
The registrant, Navistar Financial Corporation ("NFC"), was incorporated in
Delaware in 1949 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navistar International
Transportation Corp. ("Transportation"), which is wholly-owned by Navistar
International Corporation ("Navistar"). As used herein, the "Corporation" refers
to Navistar Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries unless the
context otherwise requires.
The Corporation is a commercial financing organization that provides
wholesale, retail and lease financing in the United States for sales of new and
used trucks sold by Transportation and Transportation's dealers. The Corporation
also finances wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable of
Transportation. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other
manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily
sold for use with Transportation's truck products. Harco National Insurance
Company, NFC's wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, provides commercial physical
damage and liability insurance coverage to Transportation's dealers and retail
customers, and to the general public through an independent insurance agency
system.
Item 2. Properties
The Corporation's properties principally consist of office equipment and
leased office space in Rolling Meadows, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; Duluth,
Georgia; Plano, Texas; Mt. Laurel, New Jersey; and San Ramon, California. The
office equipment owned and in use by the Corporation is not significant in
relation to the total assets of the Corporation.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There were no material pending legal proceedings other than ordinary,
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Corporation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Intentionally omitted. See the index page of this Report for explanation.
PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters
See Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Intentionally omitted. See the index page of this Report for explanation.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements under this caption, which involve risks and
uncertainties, constitute "forward-looking statements" under the Securities
Reform Act. Navistar Financial 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 headings "Year 2000", "Business Outlook" and
"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
Financing Volume
In response to the continued strong U.S. economy, customer demand for Class
5 through 8 trucks in fiscal 1999 was 19% and 34% higher than 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The strong economy continued to contribute to high liquidity in
the commercial financing markets, which gives the Corporation's customers more
financing alternatives. This continuing, highly competitive financing market has
caused the Corporation to increase marketing efforts for its retail and
wholesale financing products and services and to reduce finance rates offered
during the fiscal year.
Financing support provided to retail customers over the last three years
was as follows:
1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
Retail and Lease Financing: ($ millions)
Finance market share of new International
trucks sold in the U.S. 16.4% 16.0% 13.2%
Purchases of receivables and
equipment leased to others $1,526 $1,397 $1,036
Serviced retail notes and lease
financing balances (including
sold notes) at October 31 $3,003 $2,579 $2,253
As a result of the Corporation's higher finance market share and the higher
truck industry demand in 1999, purchases of receivables and equipment leased to
others were 9% above 1998. During fiscal 1999 the serviced portfolio grew 16% to
$3.0 billion. Purchases of receivables and equipment leased to others in 1998
grew 14% above 1997 as a result of the higher finance market share and truck
industry demand.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Financing Volume (continued)
Financing support provided to Transportation's dealers over the last three
years was as follows:
1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
Wholesale Financing: ($ millions)
Percent of wholesale financing of
new International trucks sold to
Transportation's dealers in the U.S. 96% 95% 94%
Purchases of receivables $4,188 $3,813 $2,773
Serviced wholesale note balances
(including sold notes) at
October 31 $1,226 $1,039 $691
In spite of the strong liquidity in the commercial financing market, the
Corporation's finance percentage of new International trucks sold to
Transportation's dealers increased slightly to 96% from 95% and 94% in 1998 and
1997, respectively. In response to the strong industry demand, the volume of
receivables purchased in 1999 was 10% higher than 1998 which was 38% higher than
1997.
Results of Operations
The components of net income over the last three years were as follows:
1999 1998 1997
---- ---- ----
Income before income taxes: ($ millions)
Finance operations $96.4 $79.2 $68.6
Insurance operations 5.0 6.0 6.0
----- ----- -----
Income before income taxes 101.4 85.2 74.6
Taxes on income 38.9 32.3 28.9
---- ----- -----
Net income $62.5 $52.9 $45.7
===== ===== =====
Return on average equity 22.1% 18.5% 16.1%
The Corporation's 1999 return on average equity was a record 22.1% in 1999,
compared with 18.5% and 16.1% in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase over
1998 was due primarily to higher finance receivable balances, resulting from an
increase in Transportation's sales, and a higher level of average outstanding
accounts payable to affiliates which proportionately lowered debt levels and
interest expense. This was offset, in part, by a higher provision for losses,
higher costs to service the larger portfolio, and the competitive commercial
financing market which continued to put pressure on retail and wholesale finance
margins. The 1998 increase over 1997 is primarily due to the higher level of
wholesale and retail financing, partially offset by lower financing margins and
higher costs to service the larger portfolio.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Results of Operations - Finance Operations:
Retail note and lease financing revenue for 1999 was $161 million compared
with $136 million and $106 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 18%
growth in fiscal 1999 is due to higher retail financing activities and continued
growth in lease financing, offset in part by lower yields. Included in retail
note and lease financing revenue is operating lease revenue of $62 million, $46
million and $29 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The higher
operating lease revenue is the result of an increase in vehicles under operating
leases due to a market shift toward lease financing. For operating leases, the
Corporation recognizes the entire lease payment as revenue and records
depreciation expense on the assets under lease. Also included in retail note and
lease finance revenue are gains on sales of retail note receivables of $12
million, $15 million and $13 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
lower gains on sales of retail note receivables in fiscal 1999 resulted from
lower retail note margins and increased credit spreads in the capital market.
In fiscal 1999 wholesale note revenue increased 45% to $63 million versus
1998, primarily as a result of the higher level of wholesale financing activity,
offset in part by lower yields in response to the lower average prime interest
rate in 1999 and the competitive commercial financing market. Wholesale note
revenue increased 20% in 1998 to $43 million as a result of the higher level of
wholesale financing activity, offset in part by lower yields in response to
competitive commercial financing market.
Borrowing costs increased 7% in 1999 to $95 million from $88 million in
1998 primarily due to higher average receivable funding requirements, offset in
part by a higher level of average outstanding accounts payable to affiliates and
lower average interest rates. The higher level of average outstanding accounts
payable to affiliates reduced debt levels and resulted in a reduction in
borrowing costs of $13 million for fiscal year 1999. The Corporation's weighted
average interest rate on all debt was 5.6% in 1999 and 6.4% in 1998 and 1997.
The decrease in the Corporation's weighted average interest rate is primarily a
result of the decrease in market interest rates and a lower outstanding
subordinated term debt balance. Borrowing costs increased 21% in 1998 to $88
million from $73 million in 1997 primarily due to higher average receivable
funding requirements. The ratio of debt to equity was 6.1:1, 5.8:1, and 4.3:1 at
October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Credit, collection and administrative expenses increased to $43 million in
1999 from $36 million and $31 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
increase in 1999 compared with 1998 and 1997 was primarily due to higher costs
to service the larger portfolio and costs associated with year 2000 initiatives.

Results of Operations - Finance Operations (continued)
The provision for losses on receivables totaled $6 million in 1999 compared
with $1 million in 1998 and $3 million in 1997. The increase in 1999 compared to
1998 is primarily due to a non-recurring loss recovery in 1998 and the increase
in serviced finance receivable balances. Notes and account write-offs, net of
recoveries, including sold notes, were $5 million in 1999, less than one million
in 1998 and $2 million in 1997. The Corporation's allowance for losses as a
percentage of serviced finance receivables was .55%, .64% and .72% at October
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Depreciation and other expenses in 1999 increased to $44 million from $30
million in 1998 and $19 million in 1997. The increase is primarily the result of
a larger investment in equipment under operating leases.
Insurance Operations:
Harco National Insurance Company's ("Harco") pretax income was $5 million
in 1999 and $6 million in both 1998 and 1997. Harco's gross premiums written in
1999 were $47 million, consistent with 1998 and 2% below 1997. The insurance
industry continues to be over capitalized which results in a highly competitive
market and places pressure on Harco's volume and margins. The ratio of losses to
earned premiums was 72% during 1999, compared to 70% in 1998 and 1997.
Liquidity and Funds Management
The Corporation has traditionally obtained the funds to provide financing
to Transportation's dealers and retail customers from sales of receivables,
commercial paper, short and long-term bank borrowings, medium and long-term debt
and equity capital. The Corporation's current debt ratings have made sales of
finance receivables the most economical source of funding. The Corporation's
insurance operation generates its funds through internal operations and has no
external borrowings.
In May 1999, Moody's and Duff and Phelps raised the Corporation's senior
debt ratings from Ba1 and BBB- to Baa3 and BBB, respectively, while also raising
the subordinated debt ratings from Ba3 and BB+ to Ba2 and BBB-, respectively. In
January 1998, Standard and Poors raised the Corporation's senior debt ratings
from BB to BB+, while the subordinated debt ratings were also raised from B+ to
BB-.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Funds Management (continued)
Operations provided $654 million of cash in 1999 primarily as a result of
an increase in accounts payable to affiliates. The cash provided by operations
was used primarily for investing activities of $637 million, of which $410
million supported wholesale note and account financing, and to pay dividends of
$60 million. Financing activities, excluding dividends, provided $68 million.
During 1999, the purchase of $1,526 million of retail receivables and equipment
leased to others was funded primarily with $1,192 million of proceeds from the
sale of receivables, principal collections on retail notes and lease receivables
of $88 million, and $68 million net increase in total debt. See also the
"Statements of Consolidated Cash Flow" on page 14.
Over the last three years, operations provided an aggregate of $864 million
in cash and proceeds from the sale of retail receivables totaled $3,102 million.
These amounts were used principally to fund the purchase of finance receivables
and equipment leased to others of $3,661, net of principal collections on the
receivables, and to pay dividends of $157 million.
Receivable sales were a significant source of funding in 1999, 1998 and
1997. Through the asset-backed public market and private placement sales, the
Corporation has been able to fund fixed rate retail note receivables at rates
offered to companies with investment grade ratings. During fiscal 1999, in two
separate sales, the Corporation sold a total of $1,260 million of retail notes,
net of unearned finance income, through Navistar Financial Retail Receivables
Corporation ("NFRRC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The
Corporation sold $545 million of retail notes in November 1998 to a multi-seller
asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major financial institution
and $715 million of retail notes in June 1999 to an owner trust which, in turn,
issued securities which were sold to investors. During fiscal 1998 and 1997, the
Corporation sold $1,001 and $987 million, respectively, of retail notes, through
"NFRRC", to owner trusts, which in turn, issued securities which were sold to
investors. The aggregate shelf registration available to NFRRC for issuance of
asset-backed securities is $2,257 million.
At October 31, 1999, Navistar Financial Securities Corporation ("NFSC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, had a revolving wholesale note trust
that provides for the funding of $600 million of wholesale notes. All eligible
wholesale notes are sold to the trust through NFSC. During 1999, a $100 million
tranche of investor certificates matured. As of October 31, 1999, the trust is
comprised of three $200 million tranches of investor certificates maturing in
2003, 2004 and 2008.
During fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Corporation entered into
sale/leaseback agreements involving vehicles subject to retail finance leases
and operating leases with end users. Total proceeds were $160 million, $144
million and $111 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The outstanding
capital lease obligations at October 31, 1999 were $323 million.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Liquidity and Funds Management (continued)
The Corporation has a $925 million bank revolving credit facility and a
$400 million asset-backed commercial paper ("ABCP") program supported by a bank
liquidity facility, which mature in March 2001. See Note 10 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion.
As of October 31, 1999, available funding under the bank revolving credit
facility and the ABCP program was $87 million, of which $35 million provided
funding backup for the outstanding short-term debt. The remaining $52 million,
when combined with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, made $90 million
available to fund the general business purposes of the Corporation.
The Corporation manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by
limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable rate debt
generally by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by
utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial
instruments may include forward contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps.
As of October 31, 1999, the Corporation had a total of $500 million of
forward interest rate contracts outstanding in anticipation of a November 1999
sale of retail receivables and a $75 million forward starting swap contract in
anticipation of a March 2000 sale of retail receivables. These forward contracts
were entered into to reduce exposure to future changes in interest rates. The
Corporation closes the forward contract positions on the pricing date of the
sale and any gain or loss is included in the gain on the sale of receivables.
The unrealized loss was immaterial at October 31, 1999.
In November 1998, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables to a
multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major
financial institution on a variable rate basis. For the protection of investors,
the Corporation issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, the Corporation will make
payments if interest rates exceed certain levels. As of October 31, 1999 the cap
had a notional amount of $374 million and a fair value of $1 million.
In November 1999, the Corporation sold $533 million of retail notes, net of
unearned finance income, through NFRRC to two multi-seller asset-backed
commercial paper conduits sponsored by a major financial institution. A $2
million gain will be recognized in fiscal year 2000. Lower retail note margins
and increased credit spreads in the capital market have reduced the realized
gains on sales of receivables in fiscal 1999 and 2000.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Year 2000
The Corporation has identified all significant information technology
("IT") applications that required remediation, which in some cases involved the
replacement of systems, to ensure Year 2000 compliance. Internal and external
resources were used to make the required modifications and to test for Year 2000
compliance. As of November 30, 1999, the Corporation is 100% complete with the
modifications and testing process of all significant IT systems. Total costs
connected with the remediation of the Corporation's significant IT systems
totaled $2 million in 1999, $3 million in 1998 and $1 million in 1997.
Approximately 25% of the total costs, representing investment in purchased IT
systems, were capitalized and will be depreciated over three to five years. The
total cost of the Year 2000 project has not had nor is it anticipated to have a
material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations
and has been funded through operating cash flows.
While certain aspects of the Corporation's businesses could operate on a
manual basis for a period of time, in the event the Corporation experiences
interruptions due to the transition to the Year 2000, the Corporation currently
believes that the most reasonably likely worst case scenario would be the
inability to sustain its current level of performance and customer service.
Additionally, a significant failure of the banking systems or key entities in
the financial markets could adversely affect the Corporation's ability to access
various credit and money markets.
The Corporation has received written assurances from its significant
suppliers of cash management services that they will be able to operate in the
Year 2000 and beyond, without interruption in service. While the Corporation
believes that it does not have significant exposure to other significant
suppliers' Year 2000 problems, it has collected compliance assurances from such
other significant suppliers.
As part of its continuous assessment process, the Corporation has prepared
contingency plans for critical business processes that will be placed into
effect in the event of a Year 2000 problem. These plans identify when contingent
actions should be taken and identify the resources necessary for a proper
response. Review and testing of the contingency plans will continue through the
remainder of 1999, along with the necessary training of people that will manage
through the crossover into the Year 2000.
Checklists have been established for each of the contingency plans, against
which status will be measured as the crossover occurs. The first priority will
be to determine that computing platforms, data base management systems and
communication networks for both voice and data are functioning properly.
Immediately following, a series of production applications have been scheduled
to run, with the objective being to quickly identify any remaining Year 2000
problems, and to initiate corrective actions promptly.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Year 2000 (continued)
A Year 2000 command center structure has been established to facilitate the
management of activities and communications. Staffing has been identified, along
with the procedures to manage the implementation of the defined pre and post
- -Year 2000 activities.
The Corporation is using its best efforts to ensure that the Year 2000
impact on its critical systems and processes will not affect its level of
performance and customer service. However, in the event that the Corporation is
unable to implement adequate contingency plans in the event problems arise,
there could be a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business,
financial position or results of operations.
New Accounting Standards
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Development 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. The company will adopt this statement effective
November 1, 1999. At planned fiscal year 2000 spending levels, adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on the results of operations,
financial condition and cash flow.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to
establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. This
statement requires recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of
financial condition as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value.
This statement additionally requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to
be recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income, depending
on the intended use of the derivatives. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS 133 by
deferring its effective date for one year, to those fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of these
statements on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
<PAGE>
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
Business Outlook
The truck industry in 2000 is forecasted to decrease approximately 13% from
1999. The competitive commercial financing market will continue to put pressure
on the Corporation's retail and wholesale financing activity and margins.
Increased volatility in the capital markets is likely to put additional pressure
on the funding rates offered to the Corporation in the asset-backed public
market, commercial paper markets and other debt financing markets.
Management believes that collections on the outstanding receivables
portfolio plus cash available from the Corporation's various funding sources
will permit Navistar Financial to meet the financing requirements of
Transportation's dealers and retail customers through 2000 and beyond.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Corporation is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in
interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from the funding of a portion of the
Corporation's fixed rate receivables with floating rate debt and from the
Corporation's investment in fixed income securities. The Corporation has managed
exposure to interest rate changes by funding floating rate receivables with
floating rate debt and fixed rate receivables with fixed rate debt, floating
rate debt and equity capital. Management has reduced the net exposure which
results from the funding of fixed rate receivables with floating rate debt by
generally selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by utilizing
derivative financial instruments. The Corporation does not use derivative
financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Corporation maintains investments in marketable securities. The
securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded on the
Statements of Consolidated Financial Condition at fair value with unrealized
gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareowner's equity, net of
applicable deferred taxes. As of October 31, 1999, the fair value of the
Corporation's marketable securities portfolio was $102 million, consisting of
$81 million invested in debt securities and $21 million invested in equity
securities.
<PAGE>
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
(continued)
The Corporation measures its interest rate risk by estimating the net
amount by which the fair value of all interest rate sensitive assets and
liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, would be impacted by
selected hypothetical changes in market interest rates. Assuming a hypothetical
10% increase in interest rates as of October 31, 1999, the estimated net fair
asset value would decrease by approximately $5 million.
Equity price risk arises when the Corporation could incur economic losses
due to adverse changes in a particular stock index or price. The Corporation's
investments in equity securities are exposed to equity price risk and the fair
value of the portfolio is correlated to the S&P 500. Management estimates that
an immediate 10% change in the S&P 500 would affect the fair value of its equity
securities by approximately $2 million.

NAVISTAR FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navistar
Financial Corporation ("NFC") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Corporation").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All
of the Corporation's capital stock is owned by Navistar International
Transportation Corp. ("Transportation"), which is wholly-owned by Navistar
International Corporation ("Navistar").
Nature of Operations
The Corporation is a commercial financing organization that provides
retail, wholesale and lease financing of products sold by Transportation and its
dealers within the United States. The Corporation also provides commercial
physical damage and liability insurance coverage to Transportation's dealers and
retail customers and to the general public through an independent insurance
agency system.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue on Receivables
Revenue from finance receivables is recognized using the interest method.
Revenue on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life
of the lease. Recognition of revenue is suspended when management determines the
collection of future income is not probable. Income recognition is resumed if
collection doubts are removed.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Allowance for Losses on Receivables
The allowance for losses on receivables is established through a charge to
the provision for losses. The allowance is an estimate of the amount required to
absorb losses on existing receivables that may become uncollectible. The
allowance is maintained at an amount management considers appropriate in
relation to the outstanding receivables portfolio based on such factors as
overall portfolio quality, historical loss experience and current economic
conditions.
Under various agreements, Transportation and its dealers may be liable for
a portion of customer losses or may be required to repurchase the repossessed
collateral at the receivable principal value. The Corporation's losses are net
of these benefits. Receivables are charged off to the allowance for losses when
the receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Receivable Sales
The Corporation securitizes and sells receivables to public and private
investors with limited recourse. The Corporation continues to service the
receivables, for which a servicing fee is received. Servicing fees are earned on
a level yield basis over the terms of the related sold receivables and are
included in servicing fee income. Gains or losses on sales of receivables are
credited or charged to financing revenue in the period in which the sales occur.
An adequate allowance for credit losses is provided prior to the receivable
sales.
Insurance Operations
Insurance premiums written by the Corporation's wholly-owned insurance
subsidiary, Harco National Insurance Company ("Harco"), are earned on a pro rata
basis over the terms of the policies. Commission costs and premium taxes
incurred in acquiring business are deferred and amortized on the same basis as
related premiums are earned. The liability for unpaid insurance claims includes
provisions for reported claims and an estimate of unreported claims based on
past experience. Such provisions include an estimate of loss adjustment expense.
The estimated liability for unpaid insurance claims is regularly reviewed and
updated. Any change in such estimate is reflected in current operations.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Insurance Operations (continued)
Harco limits its exposure on any single loss occurrence by ceding
reinsurance to other insurance enterprises. Reinsurance receivables, including
amounts related to unpaid insurance claims and prepaid reinsurance premiums, are
reported as other assets in the Statements of Consolidated Financial Condition.
Income Taxes
Navistar and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return, which includes Transportation and the Corporation. Federal income taxes
for the Corporation are computed on a separate consolidated return basis and are
payable to Transportation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and marketable
securities with original maturities of three months or less, except for such
securities held by the insurance operations which are included in marketable
securities.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported
at fair value. The difference between amortized cost and fair value is recorded
as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable
deferred taxes. The fair value of marketable securities is based on quoted
market prices, when available. If a quoted price is not available, fair value is
estimated using quoted market prices for similar financial instruments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts, interest
rate swaps and interest rate caps, are held for purposes other than trading. The
Corporation's policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for
speculative purposes. The Corporation generally uses derivative financial
instruments to reduce its exposure to interest rate volatility.
The Corporation may use forward contracts to hedge the fair value of its
fixed rate receivables against changes in market interest rates in anticipation
of the sale of such receivables. The principal balance of receivables expected
to be sold by the Corporation equals or exceeds the notional amount of open
forward contracts. The Corporation may use interest rate swaps to reduce
exposure to interest rate changes when it sells fixed rate receivables on a
variable rate basis. Gains or losses incurred with the closing of forward
contracts and interest rate swaps are included in the net gain or loss on sale
of receivables.

1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)
For the protection of investors, the Corporation may write interest rate
caps when fixed rate receivables are sold on a variable rate basis. The
Corporation will make payments under the terms of the written caps if interest
rates exceed certain levels. The written caps are recorded at fair value with
subsequent changes in fair value recognized in income.
New Accounting Standards
Effective November 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified as
required by this statement.
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software
Development 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. The company will adopt this statement effective
November 1, 1999. At planned fiscal year 2000 spending levels, adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on the results of operations,
financial condition and cash flow.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to
establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. This
statement requires recognition of all derivative instruments in the statement of
financial condition as either assets or liabilities, measured at fair value.
This statement additionally requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to
be recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income, depending
on the intended use of the derivatives. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No.
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which amends SFAS 133 by
deferring its effective date for one year, to those fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of these
statements on its results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation used in the 1999 financial statements.

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES
Wholesale Notes, Wholesale Accounts and Retail Accounts
In accordance with the agreements between the Corporation and
Transportation relating to financing of wholesale notes, wholesale accounts and
retail accounts, the Corporation receives interest income from Transportation at
agreed upon interest rates applied to the average outstanding balances less
interest amounts paid by dealers on wholesale notes and wholesale accounts. The
Corporation purchases wholesale notes and accounts from Transportation at the
principal amount of the receivables. Revenue collected from Transportation was
$71.5 in 1999, $67.2 in 1998 and $54.7 in 1997.
Retail Notes and Lease Financing
In accordance with agreements between the Corporation and Transportation,
Transportation may be liable for certain losses on the finance receivables and
may be required to repurchase the repossessed collateral at the receivable
principal value. Losses recorded by Transportation were $3.5 in 1999, $10.7 in
1998 and $10.1 in 1997.
Support Agreements
Under provisions of certain public and private financing arrangements,
agreements with Transportation and Navistar provide that the Corporation's
consolidated income before interest expense and income taxes will be maintained
at not less than 125% of its consolidated interest expense. No income
maintenance payments were required during the three-year period ended October
31, 1999.
Administrative Expenses
The Corporation pays a fee to Transportation for data processing and other
administrative services based on the actual cost of services performed.
The amount of the fee was $2.6 in 1999 and 1998 and $2.1 in 1997.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable to affiliates, which are obligated to be repaid upon
request, were $706.9, $136.8 and $131.5 at October 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The higher level of average outstanding accounts payable to
affiliates reduced debt levels and resulted in a reduction in borrowing costs of
$12.5 for fiscal 1999. The reduction in borrowing costs for fiscal 1998 and 1997
was not material.

The actual cash collections from finance receivables may vary from the
contractual cash flows because of sales, prepayments, extensions and renewals.
The contractual maturities, therefore, should not be regarded as a forecast of
future collections.
The Corporation's primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and
lease financing for new and used trucks sold by Transportation and
Transportation's dealers, and as a result the Corporation's receivables and
leases have significant concentration in the trucking industry. On a geographic
basis, there is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk in any area
of the United States. The Corporation retains as collateral a security interest
in the equipment associated with wholesale notes, retail notes and leases.
The Corporation sells finance receivables to public and private investors
with limited recourse provisions. Outstanding sold receivable net balances at
October 31 are as follows:
1999 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retail notes....................................... $1,696.0 $1,445.4
Wholesale notes.................................... 600.0 700.0

The Corporation has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Navistar Financial
Retail Receivables Corporation ("NFRRC") and Navistar Financial Securities
Corporation ("NFSC"), which have a limited purpose of purchasing retail and
wholesale receivables, respectively, and transferring an undivided ownership
interest in such notes to investors.

5. FINANCE RECEIVABLES (continued)
During fiscal 1999, in two separate sales, the Corporation sold a total of
$1,260 of retail notes, net of unearned finance income, through NFRRC. The
Corporation sold $545 of retail notes in November 1998 to a multi-seller
asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major financial institution
and $715 of retail notes in June 1999 to an owner trust which, in turn, issued
securities which were sold to investors. The aggregate shelf registration
available to NFRRC for issuance of asset-backed securities is $2,257.
At October 31, 1999, NFSC has in place a revolving wholesale note trust
that provides for the funding of $600 of wholesale notes. During 1999, a $100
tranche of investor certificates matured. As of October 31, 1999 the trust is
comprised of three $200 tranches of investor certificates maturing in 2003, 2004
and 2008.
NFRRC and NFSC have limited recourse on the sold receivables and their
assets are available to satisfy the claims of their creditors prior to such
assets becoming available to the Corporation or affiliated companies. The terms
of receivable sales require the Corporation to maintain cash reserves with the
trusts and conduits as credit enhancement. The use of cash reserves held by the
trusts and conduits is restricted under the terms of the securitized sales
agreements. The maximum exposure under all receivable sale recourse provisions
at October 31, 1999 was $257.3; however, management believes the recorded
reserves for losses are adequate.
The following is a summary of amounts included in Amounts Due from Sales of
Receivables as of October 31:

10. SENIOR AND SUBORDINATED DEBT (continued)
At October 31, 1999, the Corporation had a $925 contractually committed
bank revolving credit facility and a $400 ABCP program supported by a bank
liquidity facility. Available funding under the ABCP program is comprised of the
$400 liquidity facility plus $14 of trust certificates issued in connection with
the formation of the ABCP trust. Under the terms of the ABCP program, Truck
Retail Instalment Paper Company ("TRIP"), a special purpose wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation, purchases eligible receivables from the
Corporation. All assets of TRIP are pledged to a trust that funds the
receivables with A1/P1 rated commercial paper.
Available funding under the bank revolving credit facility and the ABCP
program was $87, of which $35 provided funding backup for the outstanding
short-term debt at October 31, 1999. the remaining $52 when combined with
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents made $90 available to fund the general
business purposes of the Corporation at October 31, 1999. Under the terms of the
bank revolving credit facility, the Corporation is required to maintain tangible
net worth at a minimum of $175 and a debt to tangible net worth ratio of no
greater than 7 to 1. The bank revolving credit agreement grants security
interests in substantially all of the Corporation's assets to the Corporation's
debt holders. Compensating cash balances are not required under the bank
revolving credit facility. Facility fees are paid quarterly regardless of usage.
During fiscal 1999 and 1998, the Corporation entered into sale/leaseback
agreements involving vehicles subject to retail finance and operating leases
with end users. The balances are classified under senior and subordinated debt
as capital lease obligations. In connection with the sale and leaseback of
certain of its leasing portfolio assets, the Corporation and its subsidiary,
Harco Leasing, Inc. ("HLC"), have established Navistar Leasing Company ("NLC"),
a Delaware business trust. NLC holds legal title to leased vehicles and is the
lessor on substantially all leases originated by the Corporation. The assets of
NLC have been and will continue to be allocated into various beneficial
interests issued by NLC. HLC owns one such beneficial interest in NLC and HLC
has transferred other beneficial interests issued by NLC to purchasers under
sale/leaseback agreements. Neither the beneficial interests held by purchasers
under sale/leaseback agreements or the assets represented thereby, nor legal
interest in any assets of NLC, are available to HLC, the Corporation or its
creditors.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation's
financial instruments were as follows:
1999 1998
----------------------------------------
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Value Value Value Value
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial assets:
Finance receivables:
Retail notes................... $ 851.9 $ 858.6 $ 775.3 $ 797.6
Wholesale notes and accounts... 1,036.2 1,036.2 607.8 607.8
Amounts due from sales of
receivables.................... 244.5 242.5 245.9 243.8
Financial liabilities:
Senior and subordinated debt....... 1,352.7 1,353.7 1,397.9 1,401.4
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
The cost and fair value of marketable securities are disclosed in Note 4.
The fair value of retail notes is estimated by discounting the future
contractual cash flows using an estimated discount rate reflecting current rates
paid to purchasers of similar types of receivables with similar credit, interest
rate and prepayment risks. For wholesale notes and retail and wholesale
accounts, all of which reprice monthly, the carrying amounts approximate fair
value as a result of the short-term nature of the receivables.
The fair value of cash deposits included above in amounts due from sales of
receivables approximates their carrying value. The fair values of other amounts
due from sales of receivables were derived by discounting expected cash flows at
estimated current market rates.
For fixed rate debt, the fair value is estimated based on quoted market
prices where available and, where not available, on quoted market prices of debt
with similar characteristics.
The estimated fair values for all other financial instruments approximate
their carrying values due to the short-term nature or variable interest terms
inherent in the financial instruments.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Derivatives Held or Issued for Purposes Other Than Trading
The Corporation manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by
limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable rate debt
generally by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by
utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial
instruments may include forward contracts, interest rate swaps and interest rate
caps. The fair value of these instruments is subject to market risk as the
instruments may become less valuable due to changes in market conditions or
interest rates. The Corporation manages exposure to counter-party credit risk by
entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions
that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. The
Corporation does not require collateral or other security to support derivative
financial instruments with credit risk. The Corporation's counter-party credit
exposure is limited to the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at
the reporting date. At October 31, 1999, the Corporation's derivative financial
instruments had a negative net fair value. Notional amounts are used to measure
the volume of derivative financial instruments and do not represent exposure to
credit loss.
The Corporation enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its
exposure to fluctuations in the fair value of retail notes anticipated to be
sold. The Corporation manages such risk by entering into forward contracts to
sell fixed debt securities or forward interest rate swaps whose fair value is
highly correlated with that of the Corporation's receivables. Income recognition
of changes in the fair value of the derivatives is deferred until the derivative
instruments are closed. Gains or losses incurred with the closing of these
agreements are included as a component of the gain or loss on sale of
receivables. As of October 31, 1999, outstanding derivative financial
instruments consisted of the following:
Notional
Amount Fair Value
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forward interest rate contracts in anticipation of
November 1999 sale of retail receivables............ $500 $ 0.0
Forward starting swap contract in anticipation of
March 2000 sale of retail receivables............... $ 75 $(0.2)

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
In November 1998, the Corporation sold fixed rate retail receivables to a
multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit sponsored by a major
financial institution on a variable rate basis. For the protection of investors,
the Corporation issued an interest rate cap. The notional amount of the cap
amortizes based on the expected outstanding principal balance of the sold retail
receivables. Under the terms of the cap agreement, the Corporation will make
payments if interest rates exceed certain levels. As of October 31, 1999 the cap
had a notional amount of $374 million and a fair value of $1 million. The
interest rate cap is recorded at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in income.
15. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of
taxes, are as follows:
Accumulated
Unrealized Minimum Other
Gains (Losses) Pension Comprehensive

16. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Corporation is subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course
of business, and is party to various legal proceedings which constitute ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Corporation. In the opinion
of the Corporation's management, none of these proceedings or claims are
material to the business or the financial condition of the Corporation.

In November 1999, the Corporation sold $533 of retail notes, net of
unearned finance income, through NFRRC to two multi-seller asset-backed
commercial paper conduits sponsored by a major financial institution. A $2.2
