| JDCC's net income was $67.4 million for the quarter and $136.7 million for the year to date, compared with net income of $67.5 million and $129.8 million last year. Affecting results for the quarter were higher gains from an increased volume of retail-note sales, offset by an increase in administrative costs related in part to higher performance-bonus expense. The year-to-date improvement was mainly due to higher gains from an increased volume of retail-note sales and growth in the portfolio, partially offset by higher administrative costs. |
|
|
| Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $12.339 billion at April 30, 2004, compared with $12.359 billion one year ago. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $15.448 billion at April 30, 2004, compared with $14.457 billion one year ago. |
