Items 1 through 4, Item 6 and Item 8 are not included because they are not

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.
   
    On May 22, 1996, the Registrant caused the issuance and sale by 
Caterpillar Financial Asset Trust 1996-A (the "Issuer") of (i) Class A-1, 
Class A-2 and Class A-3 Asset Backed Notes (the "Notes") pursuant to an 
Indenture dated as of May 1, 1996 between the Issuer and The First National 
Bank of Chicago and (ii) Asset Backed Certificates (the "Certificates," and 
together with the Notes, the "Securities") pursuant the Amended and Restated 
Trust Agreement dated as of May 1, 1996 between the Registrant and Chemical 
Bank Delaware.  In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Registrant 
had been advised by Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. ("Merrill 
Lynch") that it furnished to prospective investors a certain ABS term sheet
(the "Term Sheet") with respect to the Securities following the effective date
of Registration Statement No. 333-2988 but prior to the availability of a final
Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus relating to the Securities.

    On May 16, 1996, the Registrant filed the form of the Term Sheet 
that it believed had been used by Merrill Lynch  with the Commission on Form 
8-K (the "Filed Term Sheet").  On May 22, 1996, the Registrant became aware 
that the cover of the Filed Term Sheet did not correspond to the cover of the 
Term Sheet actually distributed to investors. Therefore, the Registrant 
hereby files a revised Term Sheet reflecting the actual Term Sheet 
distributed to investors on May 13, 1996. The only difference between the 
Filed Term Sheet and the Term Sheet filed herewith are the first two pages.

    The filed Term Sheet was preliminary and has been superseded in its 
entirety by the Term Sheet and the final Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement 
relating to the Securities and maybe superceded by any other information 
subsequently filed with the commission. In addition, information in the 
Term Sheet was preliminary and has been superseded by the final Prospectus 
Supplement and Prospectus relating to the Securities and may be superseded by 
any other information subsequently filed with the Commission.

                               the Reserve Account is less  than 0.75% of the Pool  Balance
                               as of the end of the preceding Collection Period, then funds

                              THE RECEIVABLES POOL
 
    The   pool  of  Receivables  (the   "Receivables  Pool")  will  include  the
Receivables purchased  pursuant  to the  Purchase  Agreement with  an  aggregate
Principal Balance of $371,897,157 as of May 1, 1996 (the "Cut-off Date").
 
    The Receivables were selected from the entire U.S. ISC Portfolio (other than
receivables  previously sold to trusts  under prior asset-backed securitizations
which CFSC continues  to service which  are otherwise included  in the U.S.  ISC
Portfolio) using several criteria, some of which are set forth in the Prospectus
under  "The Receivables Pools," as well as that each Receivable (i) has a stated
maturity of not earlier than September 1996  or later than April 2001, (ii)  has
an  annual percentage rate of interest  (based on its Principal Balance) ("APR")
of at least 6.00% and (iii) is not more than 31 days past due as of the  Cut-off
Date.  As of  the Cut-off Date,  no Obligor on  any Receivable was  noted in the
related  records  of  the  Servicer  as  being  in  default  under  the  related
Installment  Sales Contract or as being  the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
No selection procedures  believed by CFSC  or the  Seller to be  adverse to  the
Noteholders or the Certificateholders were used in selecting the Receivables.
 
    The  composition of the Receivables and  the distribution of the Receivables
by APR, new and  used equipment, equipment  type, industry application,  payment
frequency  and remaining Principal Balance as of  the Cut-off Date are set forth
in the following  tables. Amounts  and percentages  are based  on the  Principal
Balance  of the Receivables as of the Cut-off Date. The "Principal Balance" of a
Receivable means  its  original  principal  balance,  as  reduced  by  principal
payments  applied in accordance with the actuarial method. The Principal Balance
of an Over-Rate  Receivable includes  the unamortized purchase  premium paid  by
CFSC to Dealers. As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate current Principal Balance
of the Receivables is the Initial Pool Balance.

(1) CFSC,  in conjunction  with Caterpillar  and its  subsidiaries, periodically
    offers below market rate financing to Obligors under merchandising programs.
    Caterpillar, at the outset  of a subsidized transaction,  remits to CFSC  an
    amount  equal to  the interest differential,  which amount  is recognized as
    income over the term of the related contract. The APR of any Receivable does
    not take into account, and  the Trust does not have  an interest in, any  of
    such  amounts  remitted  to  CFSC  by  Caterpillar  with  respect  to  these
    Receivables.

(1) "Variable  Frequency" Receivables have monthly  payment schedules but permit
    the Obligors thereon  to skip  or reduce payments  during certain  specified
    months  which  are predetermined  at origination.  The  majority of  skip or
    reduced payments  take place  during months  coinciding with  the cash  flow
    patterns  of the related  Obligors. Although there can  be no assurance that
    the experience on  the Variable  Frequency Receivables  will be  comparable,
    CFSC  has not identified any cash  flow pattern resulting from the existence
    of Variable  Frequency Receivables  in the  U.S. ISC  Portfolio. The  Seller
    believes  that the pattern of principal  payments on the Securities will not
    be materially affected by the inclusion of Variable Frequency Receivables in
    the Trust.  See  "The  Receivables  Pools--The  Retail  Equipment  Financing
    Business--INSTALLMENT SALES CONTRACTS--CONTRACT TERMS" in the Prospectus.

- -------------------
(1) Based on billing addresses of Obligors.
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
    Unless  otherwise specified herein, references  herein to percentages of the
Receivables refer in each case to the approximate percentage of the Initial Pool
Balance, based on the  Principal Balances of the  Receivables as of the  Cut-off
Date,  and after  giving effect  to all payments  received prior  to the Cut-off
Date.
 
    All of  the  Receivables were  Installment  Sales Contracts.  4.31%  of  the
Receivables  were  originated or  arranged by  Michigan Cat,  a Dealer  in Novi,
Michigan, and in  the aggregate  17.56% of  the Receivables  were originated  or
arranged  by the  five largest Dealers.  No other Dealer  originated or arranged
more than 3.42% of the Receivables. 3.78% of the Receivables were originated  or
arranged  by Carter Machinery Company, Inc., a Dealer in Salem, Virginia and the
only Dealer owned by Caterpillar.
 
    No single Obligor accounted for more than 1.05% of the Receivables, and  the
five largest Obligors accounted for approximately 4.14% of the Receivables.
 
    Approximately  95.67%  of the  Receivables  have related  Financed Equipment
manufactured by Caterpillar,  and the  remaining 4.33% of  the Receivables  have
related Financed Equipment manufactured by a variety of other sources.
 
    At  origination  CFSC confirms  the applicable  loan-to-value ratios  of its
receivables. Because of the depreciating  nature of the Financed Equipment,  and
in  light of CFSC's credit loss experience  set forth herein with respect to the
U.S. ISC Portfolio, the Seller believes that statistical information relating to
original loan-to-value ratios of the Receivables is not material to investors in
the Securities.
 
    Certain Receivables  may be  cross-collateralized, being  secured by  junior
liens  on other items of equipment (which  may or may not be Financed Equipment)
in addition  to first  priority liens  on the  related Financed  Equipment,  and
certain  items of Financed Equipment  may secure other receivables  of CFSC on a
junior basis (which may or may not be Receivables).
 
DELINQUENCIES, REPOSSESSIONS AND NET LOSSES
 
    Set  forth  below  is  certain  information  concerning  CFSC's   experience
pertaining  to delinquencies, repossessions and net  losses on the entire United
States portfolio  of installment  sales contracts  serviced by  CFSC  (including
receivables  sold which CFSC  continues to service)  (the "U.S. ISC Portfolio").
Generally, when  an account  becomes  120 days  delinquent, accrual  of  finance
income is suspended, the collateral is repossessed and the account is designated
for litigation.
 
    Delinquencies,  repossessions and net losses  on installment sales contracts
are affected by economic conditions generally. Total delinquencies had decreased
from 1991 to 1992 due to increased collection efforts and decreased in 1993  due
to  an improving U.S. economy and to  CFSC's expansion of its service center and
regional office  collection  staff  and enhanced  collection  tracking  systems.
Fluctuations  in the levels  of repossessions and  net losses from  1991 to 1995
reflect changes in economic conditions  generally and in economic conditions  of
industries which CFSC's customers serve.
 
    Although  the Seller believes that the composition of the Receivables in the
aggregate is representative of the U.S. ISC Portfolio, there can be no assurance
that the delinquency, repossession  and net loss  experience on the  Receivables
will  be comparable to that set forth below or that delinquencies, repossessions
and net losses in the future will be comparable to those in the past.

</TABLE>
 
- ------------------------
(1)  Amounts and  percentages  are based  on  the  gross amount  of  all  unpaid
     installments of principal and unearned finance charges scheduled to be paid
     on each contract.
 
(2)  Delinquent  contracts  that have  been modified  in accordance  with CFSC's
     credit policies may not  be considered to be  "delinquent" for purposes  of
     this table. Such modifications include extensions, restructurings with skip
     payments,  refinancings, changes  of installment  due dates,  reductions of
     interest rates, and partial buyouts. See "The Receivables Pools--The Retail
     Equipment  Financing   Business--EXTENSION/REVISION  PROCEDURES"   in   the
     Prospectus.  In addition, a contract is no longer considered delinquent and
     is no longer included  in the U.S. ISC  Portfolio upon the repossession  of
     its  related  financed equipment.  See  "The Receivables  Pools--The Retail
     Equipment  Financing  Business--REPOSSESSION/WRITEOFF  PROCEDURES"  in  the
     Prospectus.
 
(3)  A  monthly contract is deemed  to be "31-60" or "over  60" days past due if
     the amount due is not collected by  the last day of the succeeding or  next
     succeeding  month, respectively (I.E., a payment due any time in January is
     not considered  "31-60"  days  past  due  unless  the  amount  due  remains
     uncollected on February 28).
 
(4)  Adjustments  result primarily from the application of payments made but not
     allocated  by  CFSC  to  the  amount  then  outstanding  under   delinquent
     contracts.  Increases or decreases in the  contract number or dollar amount
     of contracts in a  particular delinquency category  result from either  the
     removal of contracts from a particular delinquent status or the shifting of
     contracts  from  one delinquency  category to  another as  a result  of the
     adjustment process.

</TABLE>
 
- ------------------------
(1)  Except as indicated,  all amounts and  percentages are based  on the  gross
     amount of all unpaid installments of principal and unearned finance charges
     scheduled to be paid on each contract.
 
(2)  Repossessions  prior to  the third quarter  of 1993  represented all unpaid
     principal and  finance  charges accrued  but  not collected  for  contracts
     repossessed  and terminated during the period,  and subsequent to the third
     quarter of 1993 represent contracts repossessed and either terminated or in
     inventory.
 
(3)  Liquidations represent  a  reduction in  the  outstanding balances  of  the
     contracts as a result of cash payments and charge-offs.
 
(4)  Net  Losses  are equal  to the  aggregate amount  of principal  and finance
     charges accrued on all contracts  which are determined to be  uncollectible
     plus  repossession expenses  less (i) in  the case of  repossessed (but not
     liquidated) financed equipment,  the estimated proceeds  of liquidation  of
     such  equipment, and (ii) in the case of liquidated financed equipment, the
     actual proceeds of liquidation of such equipment. With respect to  Financed
     Equipment  which is repossessed  in one calendar year  and sold in another,
     the Net Loss figures for the  year of repossession include CFSC's  estimate
     of  loss after giving  effect to its estimate  of the liquidation proceeds,
     and the Net Loss figures in  the subsequent calendar year are increased  to
     reflect  the amount by which actual liquidation proceeds are less than such
     estimate or are decreased to reflect the amount by which actual liquidation
     proceeds exceed such estimate. The Trust receives proceeds of  liquidations
     but  will not have the benefit of subsequent amounts received from Obligors
     or others (except  for recourse payments  from Dealers) with  respect to  a
     contract  after  the related  financed equipment  is  sold and  the related
     contract is terminated. The Net Loss figures above give effect to  payments
     by  Dealers on a limited number of the contracts which provide for recourse
     to the related  Dealers. See "The  Receivables Pools--The Retail  Equipment
     Financing Business--DEALER AGREEMENTS" in the Prospectus and "Certain Legal
     Aspects  of the Receivables--Dealer Recourse Receivables" in the Prospectus
     Supplement.
