Organization and Consolidation
Organization and Consolidation	(1)         John Deere Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries (Capital Corporation), and its other consolidated entities are collectively called the Company. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10 ‑K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company provides and administers financing for retail purchases of new equipment manufactured by Deere & Company’s agriculture and turf and construction and forestry operations and used equipment taken in trade for this equipment. The Company generally purchases retail installment sales and loan contracts (retail notes) from Deere & Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively called John Deere). John Deere generally acquires these retail notes through John Deere retail dealers. The Company also purchases and finances a limited amount of non-Deere retail notes and continues to service a small portfolio of other retail notes. The Company also finances and services revolving charge accounts, in most cases acquired from and offered through merchants in the agriculture and turf and construction and forestry markets (revolving charge accounts). The Company also provides wholesale financing for inventories of John Deere agriculture and turf and construction and forestry equipment owned by dealers of those products (wholesale receivables). In addition, the Company leases John Deere equipment and a limited amount of non-Deere equipment to retail customers (financing and operating leases). The Company also offers credit enhanced international export financing to select customers and dealers which generally involves John Deere products. Retail notes, revolving charge accounts, wholesale receivables, financing leases and operating loans are collectively called “Receivables.” Receivables and equipment on operating leases are collectively called “Receivables and Leases.”

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards	(2)     New accounting standards to be adopted are as follows: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends ASU No. 2014-09. As a result , the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adoption will use one of two retrospective application methods. The Company has not determined the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which amends ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. Therefore, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period ( s ) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The total compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 201 5, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015- 03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends ASC 835 -30, Interest - Imputation of Interest. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to borrowings be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the borrowing. This treatment is consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the amount or timing of expenses for debt issuance costs. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and will be applied retrospectively. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 201 5, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015- 05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which amends ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal - Use Software. This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If an arrangement includes a software license, the accounting for the license will be consistent with licenses of other intangible assets. If the arrangement does not include a license, the arrangement will be accounted for as a service contract. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and will be adopted prospectively. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which amends ASC 835-30, Interest - Imputation of Interest. This ASU clarifies the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with lines of credit. These costs may be presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are outstanding borrowings on the arrangement. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and will be applied retrospectively. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Receivables
Receivables	(4)         Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date. The Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables as either performing or non-performing monthly. Non-performing Receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when retail notes are approximately 120 days delinquent, accrual of finance income is suspended, the collateral is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer's withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended, the collateral should be repossessed or the account should be designated for litigation and the estimated uncollectible amount written off to the allowance for credit losses. Generally, when a financing lease account becomes 120 days delinquent, the accrual of lease revenue is suspended, the equipment is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer's withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Finance income for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is generally resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured. An age analysis of past due Receivables that are still accruing interest and non-performing Receivables was as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31, 2015 90 Days 30-59 Days 60-89 Days or Greater Total Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .8 .6 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf .3 Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Total Receivables $ $ $ $ Total Total Non- Total Past Due Performing Current Receivables Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf .4 Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Total Receivables $ $ $ $ October 31, 2014 90 Days 30-59 Days 60-89 Days or Greater Total Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf .9 Construction and forestry .3 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .2 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf .6 Construction and forestry .8 .2 Total Receivables $ $ $ $ Total Total Non- Total Past Due Performing Current Receivables Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .1 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Total Receivables $ $ $ $ July 31, 2014 90 Days 30-59 Days 60-89 Days or Greater Total Past Due Past Due Past Due Past Due Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .9 .4 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .6 .1 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .6 .5 Operating loans: Agriculture and turf Total Receivables $ $ $ $ Total Total Non- Total Past Due Performing Current Receivables Retail notes: Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry Revolving charge accounts: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .8 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Operating loans: Agriculture and turf Total Receivables $ $ $ $ Allowances for credit losses on Receivables are maintained in amounts considered to be appropriate in relation to the Receivables outstanding based on historical loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions and credit risk quality.

Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as non-performing.

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first nine months of 2015, the Company identified 76 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $2.2 million pre-modification and $1.7 million post-modification. During the first nine months of 2014, there were 51 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $1.4 million pre-modification and $1.2 million post-modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At July 31, 2015, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Securitization of Receivables

Securitization of Receivables	9 Months Ended

Securitization of Receivables
Securitization of Receivables	(5)     Securitization of receivables: The Company, as a part of its overall funding strategy, periodically transfers certain Receivables (retail notes) into variable interest entities (VIEs) that are special purpose entities (SPEs), or a non-VIE banking operation, as part of its asset-backed securities programs (securitizations). The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes does not meet the criteria of sales of receivables, and is, therefore, accounted for as a secured borrowing. SPEs utilized in securitizations of retail notes differ from other entities included in the Company’s consolidated statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated. Use of the assets held by the SPEs or the non-VIE is restricted by terms of the documents governing the securitization transactions. In securitizations of retail notes related to secured borrowings, the retail notes are transferred to certain SPEs or to a non-VIE banking operation, which in turn issue debt to investors. The resulting secured borrowings are recorded as “Securitization borrowings” on the balance sheet. The securitized retail notes are recorded as “Retail notes securitized” on the balance sheet. The total restricted assets on the balance sheet related to these securitizations include the retail notes securitized less an allowance for credit losses, and other assets primarily representing restricted cash. For those securitizations in which retail notes are transferred into SPEs, the SPEs supporting the secured borrowings are consolidated unless the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. No additional support to these SPEs beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided during the reporting periods. In certain securitizations, the Company consolidates the SPEs since it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance through its role as servicer of all the Receivables held by the SPEs, and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. The restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses and other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $2,638.8 million, $3,011.1 million and $2,402.3 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled $2,533.9 million, $2,942.4 million and $2,308.3 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit. In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes to a non-VIE banking operation, which is not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entity. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to these securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIE were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses and other assets) of $283.8 million, $368.0 million and $425.5 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $265.3 million, $350.5 million and $397.7 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes into bank-sponsored, multi-seller, commercial paper conduits, which are SPEs that are not consolidated. The Company does not service a significant portion of the conduits’ receivables, and, therefore, does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance. These conduits provide a funding source to the Company (as well as other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the retail notes through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company’s carrying values and variable interests related to these conduits were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses and other assets) of $1,923.2 million, $1,330.8 million and $1,538.5 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were $1,798.3 million, $1,267.1 million and $1,437.8 million at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s carrying amount of the liabilities to the unconsolidated conduits, compared to the maximum exposure to loss related to these conduits, which would only be incurred in the event of a complete loss on the restricted assets was as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31 2015 Carrying value of liabilities $ Maximum exposure to loss The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately $54.2 billion at July 31, 2015. The components of consolidated restricted assets related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31 October 31 July 31 2015 2014 2014 Retail notes securitized $ $ $ Allowance for credit losses Other assets Total restricted securitized assets $ $ $ The components of consolidated secured borrowings and other liabilities related to securitizations were as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31 October 31 July 31 2015 2014 2014 Securitization borrowings $ $ $ Accrued interest on borrowings Total liabilities related to restricted securitized assets $ $ $ The secured borrowings related to these restricted retail notes are obligations that are payable as the retail notes are liquidated. Repayment of the secured borrowings depends primarily on cash flows generated by the restricted assets. Due to the Company's short-term credit rating, cash collections from these restricted assets are not required to be placed into a restricted collection account until immediately prior to the time payment is required to the secured creditors. At July 31, 2015, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately six years.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	(6)     Commitments and contingencies: At July 31, 2015, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had $314.0 million of commercial paper, $288.5 million of medium-term notes outstanding, and a fair value liability of $27.9 million for derivatives, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of $2,107.1 million that were guaranteed by John Deere Capital Corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes at July 31, 2015 was 5.5 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of less than one year. The Company has a variable interest in John Deere Canada Funding Inc. (JDCFI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Deere Financial Inc., which was created as a VIE to issue debt in public markets to fund the operations of affiliated companies in Canada. The Company has a variable interest in JDCFI because it provides guarantees for all debt issued by JDCFI, however it does not consolidate JDCFI because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact JDCFI’s economic performance. The Company has no carrying value of assets or liabilities related to JDCFI. Its maximum exposure to loss is the amount of the debt issued by JDCFI and guaranteed by the Company, which was $1,500.1 million at July 31, 2015. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at July 31, 2015 was 2.3 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately seven years. No additional support beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided to JDCFI during the reporting periods. The Company has commitments to extend credit to customers and John Deere dealers through lines of credit and other pre-approved credit arrangements. The Company applies the same credit policies and approval process for these commitments to extend credit as it does for its Receivables. Collateral is not required for these commitments, but if credit is extended, collateral may be required upon funding. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to John Deere dealers was $7.6 billion at July 31, 2015. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was $27.3 billion at July 31, 2015. A significant portion of these commitments is not expected to be fully drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts likely do not represent a future cash requirement. The Company generally has the right to unconditionally cancel, alter or amend the terms of these commitments at any time. Over 95 percent of these unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At July 31, 2015, the Company had restricted other assets of approximately $11.9 million. See Note 5 for additional restricted assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations. The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions which arise in the normal course of its business, the most prevalent of which relate to retail credit. The Company believes the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions in addition to amounts accrued would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes	(7)         The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at July 31, 2015 were $38.1 million, compared to $36.2 million at October 31, 2014. The liability at July 31, 2015 consisted of approximately $20.2 million, which would affect the effective tax rate if it was recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The changes in the unrecognized tax benefits for the first nine months of 2015 were not significant. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant.

Fair values of Receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar Receivables. The fair values of the remaining Receivables approximated the carrying amounts. Fair values of long-term borrowings and short-term securitization borrowings were based on current market quotes for identical or similar borrowings and credit risk, or on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings included adjustments related to fair value hedges. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as Level 2 measurements on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31 October 31 July 31 2015 2014 2014 Receivables from John Deere Derivatives: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Cross-currency interest rate contracts Other assets Derivatives: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts Total assets * $ $ $ Other payables to John Deere Derivatives: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Cross-currency interest rate contracts .9 Accounts payable and accrued expenses Derivatives: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts Total liabilities $ $ $ * Excluded from this table are the Company’s cash equivalents, which were carried at cost that approximates fair value.

Level 2 measurements include significant other observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves; and other market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. The Company utilizes valuation models and techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. The models are industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including time values and yield curves as well as other economic measures. These valuation techniques are consistently applied. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value: Derivatives – The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps and caps, foreign currency forwards and swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps. The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies. Receivables – Specific reserve impairments are based on the fair value of the collateral, which is measured using a market approach (appraisal values or realizable values). Inputs include a selection of realizable values.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments	(9)         It is the Company’s policy that derivative transactions are executed only to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business and not for the purpose of creating speculative positions or trading. The Company manages the relationship of the types and amounts of its funding sources to its receivable and lease portfolio in an effort to diminish risk due to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, while responding to favorable financing opportunities. The Company also has foreign currency exposures at some of its foreign and domestic operations related to financing in currencies other than the functional currencies. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Cash collateral received or paid is not offset against the derivative fair values on the balance sheet. Each derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or remains undesignated. All designated hedges are formally documented as to the relationship with the hedged item as well as the risk-management strategy. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis the hedging instrument is assessed as to its effectiveness. If and when a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge, or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer likely to occur, or the hedge designation is removed, or the derivative is terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued. Any past or future changes in the derivative’s fair value, which will not be effective as an offset to the income effects of the item being hedged, are recognized currently in the income statement. Cash flow hedges Certain interest rate and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as hedges of future cash flows from borrowings. The total notional amounts of the receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate contracts at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014 were $2,800.0 million, $3,050.0 million and $3,650.0 million, respectively. The notional amounts of cross-currency interest rate contracts at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014 were none . The effective portions of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense or administrative and operating expenses (foreign exchange) in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate changes on the related borrowings. Any ineffective portions of the gains or losses on all cash flow interest rate contracts designated as hedges were recognized currently in interest expense or administrative and operating expenses (foreign exchange) and were not material during any periods presented. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows. The amount of loss recorded in OCI at July 31, 2015 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense or administrative and operating expenses in the next twelve months if interest rates or exchange rates remain unchanged is approximately $3.0 million after-tax. These contracts mature in up to 29 months. There were no gains or losses reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur. Fair value hedges Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of these receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014 were $8,203.4 million, $8,228.4 million and $8,253.9 million, respectively. The effective portions of the fair value gains or losses on these contracts were offset by fair value gains or losses on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings). Any ineffective portions of the gains or losses were recognized currently in interest expense. The ineffective portions were a loss of $.3 million and $1.5 million during the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 and were a gain of $1.1 million and a loss of $2.5 million during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows. The gains (losses) on these contracts and the underlying borrowings recorded in interest expense were as follows (in millions of dollars): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended July 31 July 31 2015 2014 2015 2014 Interest rate contracts * $ $ $ $ Borrowings ** * Includes changes in fair value of interest rate contracts excluding net accrued interest income of $40.7 million and $41.9 million during the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $126.2 million and $116.2 million during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. ** Includes adjustments for fair values of hedged borrowings excluding accrued interest expense of $63.2 million and $64.3 million during the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $193.4 million and $179.7 million during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments The Company has certain interest rate contracts (swaps and caps), foreign exchange contracts (forwards and swaps) and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps), which were not formally designated as hedges. These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures primarily for certain borrowings. The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014 were $2,651.3 million, $3,075.9 million and $3,147.6 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $853.6 million, $1,364.5 million and $1,356.6 million and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $79.7 million, $98.1 million and $78.2 million, respectively. At July 31, 2015 , October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014 there were also $2,086.8 million, $1,703.5 million and $1,857.7 million, respectively, of interest rate caps purchased and the same amounts sold at the same capped interest rate to facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes. The fair value gains or losses from the interest rate contracts were recognized currently in interest expense and the gains or losses from foreign exchange contracts in administrative and operating expenses, generally offsetting over time the expenses on the exposures being hedged. The cash flows from these non-designated contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows. Fair values of derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31 October 31 July 31 2015 2014 2014 Receivables from John Deere Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Cross-currency interest rate contracts Total not designated Other Assets Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts Total not designated Total derivatives $ $ $ Other Payables to John Deere Designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Cross-currency interest rate contracts .9 Total not designated Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts Total not designated Total derivatives $ $ $ The classification and gains (losses), including accrued interest expense related to derivative instruments on the statement of consolidated income consisted of the following (in millions of dollars): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Expense or OCI July 31 July 31 Classification 2015 2014 2015 2014 Fair Value Hedges: Interest rate contracts Interest expense $ $ $ $ Cash Flow Hedges: Recognized in OCI (Effective Portion): Interest rate contracts OCI (pretax) * .8 Foreign exchange contracts OCI (pretax) * Reclassified from OCI (Effective Portion): Interest rate contracts Interest expense * Foreign exchange contracts Administrative and operating expenses * Recognized Directly in Income (Ineffective Portion) ** ** ** ** Not Designated as Hedges: Interest rate contracts Interest expense * $ $ .8 $ $ Foreign exchange contracts Administrative and operating expenses * Total not designated $ $ $ $ * Includes interest and foreign exchange gains (losses) from cross-currency interest rate contracts. ** The amount is not significant. Included in the above table are interest expense and administrative and operating expense amounts the Company incurred on derivatives transacted with John Deere. The amount of gain the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the three months ende d July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $26.5 million and $70.6 million, respectively. The amount of gain the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $165.4 million and $66.4 million, respectively. Counterparty Risk and Collateral The Company’s outstanding derivatives have been transacted with both unrelated external counterparties and with John Deere. For derivatives transacted with John Deere, the Company utilizes a centralized hedging center structure in which John Deere enters into a derivative transaction with an unrelated external counterparty and simultaneously enters into a derivative transaction with the Company. Except for collateral provisions, the terms of the transaction between the Company and John Deere are identical to the terms of the transaction between John Deere and its unrelated external counterparty. Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements executed directly with the unrelated external counterparties contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. At July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, there were no aggregate liability positions for derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the Company would be required to post collateral up to an amount equal to any liability position, prior to considering applicable netting provisions. Derivative instruments are subject to significant concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector. The Company manages individual unrelated external counterparty exposure by setting limits that consider the credit rating of the unrelated external counterparty, the credit default swap spread of the counterparty and other financial commitments and exposures between the Company and the unrelated external counterparty banks. All interest rate derivatives are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation. Some of these agreements executed with unrelated external counterparties include credit support provisions. Each master agreement executed with an unrelated external counterparty permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or termination. The maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur on derivatives transacted directly with unrelated external counterparties, if counterparties to derivative instruments fail to meet their obligations, not considering collateral received or netting arrangements, was the gross asset amount of the external derivatives shown in the subsequent table. None of the concentrations of risk with any individual unrelated external counterparty was considered significant in any periods presented. The Company also has ISDA agreements with John Deere that permit the net settlement of amounts owed between counterparties in the event of early termination. In addition, the Company has a loss sharing agreement with John Deere in which it has agreed to absorb any losses and expenses John Deere incurs if an unrelated external counterparty fails to meet its obligations on a derivative transaction that John Deere entered into to manage exposures of the Company. The maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur on derivatives transacted with John Deere if the unrelated external counterparty would fail to meet its obligations, not considering collateral received or netting arrangements, was the gross asset amount of the John Deere derivatives shown in the subsequent table. The loss sharing agreement increases the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, by $5.6 million, $8.0 million and $17.3 million as of July 31, 2015, October 31, 2014 and July 31, 2014, respectively. Derivatives are recorded without offsetting for netting arrangements or collateral. The impact on the derivative assets and liabilities for external derivatives and those with John Deere related to netting arrangements and any collateral received or paid were as follows (in millions of dollars): July 31, 2015 Derivatives: Gross Amounts Recognized Netting Arrangements Collateral Received Net Amount Assets External $ $ $ John Deere Liabilities External John Deere .8 October 31, 2014 Derivatives: Gross Amounts Recognized Netting Arrangements Collateral Received Net Amount Assets External $ $ $ John Deere Liabilities External John Deere July 31, 2014 Derivatives: Gross Amounts Recognized Netting Arrangements Collateral Received Net Amount Assets External $ $ $ John Deere Liabilities External John Deere

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Receivables - Non-Performing, Policy	Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date. The Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables as either performing or non-performing monthly. Non-performing Receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when retail notes are approximately 120 days delinquent, accrual of finance income is suspended, the collateral is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer's withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended, the collateral should be repossessed or the account should be designated for litigation and the estimated uncollectible amount written off to the allowance for credit losses. Generally, when a financing lease account becomes 120 days delinquent, the accrual of lease revenue is suspended, the equipment is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer's withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Finance income for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is generally resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured. Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as non-performing.
Receivables - Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy	Allowances for credit losses on Receivables are maintained in amounts considered to be appropriate in relation to the Receivables outstanding based on historical loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions and credit risk quality.
Troubled Debt Restructuring, Policy	A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. The Company utilizes valuation models and techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. The models are industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including time values and yield curves as well as other economic measures. These valuation techniques are consistently applied.
Derivative Financial Instruments	It is the Company’s policy that derivative transactions are executed only to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business and not for the purpose of creating speculative positions or trading. The Company manages the relationship of the types and amounts of its funding sources to its receivable and lease portfolio in an effort to diminish risk due to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, while responding to favorable financing opportunities. The Company also has foreign currency exposures at some of its foreign and domestic operations related to financing in currencies other than the functional currencies.

Any past or future changes in the derivative’s fair value, which will not be effective as an offset to the income effects of the item being hedged, are recognized currently in the income statement.
