Organization and Consolidation
Organization and Consolidation	(1)     The interim consolidated financial statements of John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively called the Company) have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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 consolidated 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 uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The first quarter ends for fiscal year 2017 and 2016 were January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks. 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 and financing leases 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 adopted are as follows: In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Update (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 Accounting Standards Codification (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. 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 periods the 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 adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted 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. As required, the presentation and disclosure requirements were adopted through retrospective application with the consolidated balance sheet and related notes in prior periods adjusted for a consistent presentation. Debt issuance costs of $38.5 million and $38.0 million at October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively, were reclassified from other assets to borrowings in the consolidated balance sheet. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted 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. The Company presents these costs in other assets and amortizes the costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are outstanding borrowings on the arrangement. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company prospectively adopted 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 adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. New accounting standards to be adopted are as follows: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in 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. In August 2015, the FASB amended the effective date to be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The FASB issued several amendments clarifying various aspects of the ASU, including revenue transactions that involve a third party, goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract and licensing arrangements. The adoption will use one of two retrospective application methods. The Company plans to adopt the ASU effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments ‑ Overall. This ASU changes the treatment for available-for-sale equity investments by recognizing unrealized fair value changes directly in net income and no longer in other comprehensive income. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Early adoption of the provisions affecting the Company is not permitted. The ASU will be adopted with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet in the year of adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. The ASU’s primary change is the requirement for lessee entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right of use asset during the term of operating lease arrangements. The ASU does not significantly change the lessee’s recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. Lessees and lessors will use a modified retrospective transition approach. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which amends ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. This ASU eliminates the requirement to retroactively restate the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings on a step by step basis when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in ownership or degree of influence. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted, and will be adopted prospectively. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. This ASU simplifies the treatment of share based payment transactions by recognizing the impact of excess tax benefits or deficiencies related to exercised or vested awards in income tax expense in the period of exercise or vesting. This change will be recognized prospectively. The presentation of excess tax benefits in the statement of consolidated cash flows is also modified to be included with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. The change can be adopted using a prospective or retrospective transition method. The ASU also clarifies that cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be presented as a financing activity in the statement of consolidated cash flows and should be applied retrospectively. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted beginning in fiscal year 2020. The ASU will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU provides guidance on the statement of cash flows presentation of certain transactions where diversity in practice exists. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU will be adopted using a retrospective transition approach. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU requires that the income tax consequences of an intra-entity asset transfer other than inventory are recognized at the time of the transfer. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU will be adopted using a modified‑retrospective transition approach. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the reporting period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will be adopted using a retrospective transition approach. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations. This ASU provides further guidance on the definition of a business to determine whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted in certain cases. The ASU will be adopted on a prospective basis and 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): January 29, 2017 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 .6 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .5 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .8 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 .2 Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Total Receivables $ $ $ $ October 30, 2016 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 .7 .4 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .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 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf .3 Construction and forestry Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry Total Receivables $ $ $ $ January 31, 2016 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 .5 Wholesale receivables: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .5 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry .9 .8 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 Financing leases: Agriculture and turf Construction and forestry 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. An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and investment in Receivables was as follows (in millions of dollars): Three Months Ended January 29, 2017 Revolving Retail Charge Wholesale Financing Total Notes Accounts Receivables Leases Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Provision (credit) for credit losses Write-offs (.1) Recoveries .9 .1 Translation adjustments (.1) (.1) End of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Balance individually evaluated * $ .6 $ .2 $ .8 Receivables: End of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Balance individually evaluated * $ $ $ $ .6 $ Three Months Ended January 31, 2016 Revolving Retail Charge Wholesale Financing Total Notes Accounts Receivables Leases Receivables Allowance: Beginning of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Provision for credit losses .3 Write-offs Recoveries Translation adjustments (.3) (.2) (.5) End of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Balance individually evaluated * $ $ .2 $ Receivables: End of period balance $ $ $ $ $ Balance individually evaluated * $ $ $ $ .9 $ * Remainder is collectively evaluated. 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. An analysis of impaired Receivables was as follows (in millions of dollars): Unpaid Average Recorded Principal Specific Recorded Investment Balance Allowance Investment January 29, 2017 * Receivables with specific allowance: Retail notes $ $ $ .6 $ Financing leases .5 .4 .2 .4 Total with specific allowance .8 Receivables without specific allowance: Retail notes Wholesale receivables .2 .2 .2 Total without specific allowance Total $ $ $ .8 $ Agriculture and turf $ $ $ .3 $ Construction and forestry .5 Total $ $ $ .8 $ October 30, 2016 * Receivables with specific allowance: Retail notes $ $ $ $ Wholesale receivables .3 .3 .2 Financing leases .4 .3 .1 .4 Total with specific allowance Receivables without specific allowance: Retail notes Wholesale receivables .2 .2 .3 Total without specific allowance Total $ $ $ $ Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry .7 Total $ $ $ $ January 31, 2016 * Receivables with specific allowance: Wholesale receivables $ $ $ $ Financing leases .9 .8 .2 .9 Total with specific allowance Receivables without specific allowance: Retail notes Wholesale receivables .5 .5 .6 Total without specific allowance Total $ $ $ $ Agriculture and turf $ $ $ $ Construction and forestry .2 Total $ $ $ $ * Finance income recognized was not material. 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 quarter of 2017, the Company identified 164 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $3.2 million pre‑modification and $2.4 million post‑modification. During the first quarter of 2016, there were 18 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $.3 million pre‑modification and $.3 million post‑modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At January 29, 2017, 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
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 non‑VIE banking operations, 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‑VIEs 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 non-VIE banking operations, 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 $2,213.2 million, $2,717.6 million and $2,464.0 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled $2,174.9 million, $2,655.1 million and $2,317.1 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2015, as part of a receivable transfer, the Company retained $228.0 million of securitization borrowings, with no balance at January 29, 2017 or October 30, 2016 and $113.5 million at January 31, 2016. This amount is not shown as a liability above as the borrowing is not outstanding to a third party. 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 non-VIE banking operations, which are not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entities. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to these securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIEs were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses and other assets) of $490.4 million, $663.6 million and $212.7 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $468.1 million, $616.5 million and $205.0 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, 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 $1,655.1 million, $1,861.0 million and $1,405.0 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were $1,579.5 million, $1,728.8 million and $1,354.8 million at January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, 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): January 29 2017 Carrying value of liabilities $ Maximum exposure to loss The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately $51.6 billion at January 29, 2017. The components of consolidated restricted assets related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows (in millions of dollars): January 29 October 30 January 31 2017 2016 2016 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): January 29 October 30 January 31 2017 2016 2016 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 January 29, 2017, 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 January 29, 2017, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had $314.4 million of commercial paper and a fair value liability of $14.0 million for derivatives, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of $2,164.2 million that were guaranteed by Capital Corporation. Capital Corporation 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. Capital Corporation 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. Capital Corporation 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 Capital Corporation, which was $1,719.1 million at January 29, 2017. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at January 29, 2017 was 2.1 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately five 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 $9.0 billion at January 29, 2017. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was $28.1 billion at January 29, 2017. 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 the unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At January 29, 2017, the Company had restricted other assets of approximately $40.6 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 January 29, 2017 were $29.7 million, compared to $36.5 million at October 30, 2016. The liability at January 29, 2017 consisted of approximately $15.0 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 three months of 2017 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 Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	(8)     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. To determine 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. Level 1 measurements consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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. The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values were as follows (in millions of dollars): January 29, 2017 October 30, 2016 January 31, 2016 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value * Value Value * Value Value * Receivables financed – net $ $ $ $ $ $ Retail notes securitized – net Securitization borrowings Current maturities of long‑term borrowings Long-term borrowings * Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all Receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings. 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): January 29 October 30 January 31 2017 2016 2016 Receivables from John Deere Derivatives: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Cross-currency interest rate contracts Other assets Derivatives: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts .9 Total assets * $ $ $ Other payables to John Deere Derivatives: Interest rate contracts $ $ $ Cross-currency interest rate contracts .3 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. The cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds that were Level 1 measurements. Fair value, nonrecurring Level 3 measurements from impairments were as follows (in millions of dollars): Fair Value Losses * Three Months Ended January 29 October 30 January 31 January 29 January 31 2017 2016 2016 2017 2016 Equipment on operating leases – net $ $ $ Other assets Total $ $ $ * See Receivables with specific allowances in Note 4 that were not significant. 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. Equipment on operating leases - net – The impairments are based on an income approach (discounted cash flow), using the contractual payments, plus an estimate of equipment sale price at lease maturity. Inputs include realized sales values. Other assets – Impairments are based on the fair value of the matured operating lease inventory, which is measured using a market approach. Inputs include realized sales values.

Derivative Instruments

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 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 January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016 were $1,850.0 million, $1,600.0 million and $2,650.0 million, respectively. 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 in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest 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 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 gain recorded in OCI at January 29, 2017 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is approximately $.4 million after-tax. These contracts mature in up to 32 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 January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016 were $7,307.2 million, $8,283.7 million and $8,297.9 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 gain of $2.0 million and a loss of $.5 million during the first three months of 2017 and 2016, 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 January 29 January 31 2017 2016 Interest rate contracts * $ $ Borrowings ** * Includes changes in fair value of interest rate contracts excluding net accrued interest income of $24.7 million and $38.2 million during the first three months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. ** Includes adjustments for fair values of hedged borrowings excluding accrued interest expense of $61.4 million and $64.1 million during the first three months of 2017 and 2016, 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 January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016 were $1,981.1 million, $2,101.2 million and $2,603.8 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $1,064.0 million, $1,263.6 million and $1,109.7 million and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $67.7 million, $63.4 million and $73.1 million, respectively. At January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016 there were also $2,127.3 million, $2,430.3 million and $1,668.7 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): January 29 October 30 January 31 2017 2016 2016 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 .6 Foreign exchange contracts .9 Total not designated Total derivative assets $ $ $ 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 .3 Total not designated Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Not designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate contracts Foreign exchange contracts Total not designated Total derivative liabilities $ $ $ 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 Expense or OCI January 29 January 31 Classification 2017 2016 Fair Value Hedges: Interest rate contracts Interest expense $ $ Cash Flow Hedges: Recognized in OCI (Effective Portion): Interest rate contracts OCI (pretax) Reclassified from OCI (Effective Portion): Interest rate contracts Interest expense (.2) Recognized Directly in Income (Ineffective Portion) ** ** Not Designated as Hedges: Interest rate contracts Interest expense * $ .6 $ (.9) Foreign exchange contracts Administrative and operating expenses * Total not designated $ $ * Includes interest and foreign exchange gains (losses) from cross-currency interest rate contracts. ** The amounts were 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 the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the three months ended January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016 were a loss of $196.8 million and a gain of $110.9 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 January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, 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 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 loss sharing agreement increases the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, by $49.5 million, $1.9 million and $1.0 million as of January 29, 2017, October 30, 2016 and January 31, 2016, respectively. Derivatives are recorded without offsetting for netting arrangements or collateral.

Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended

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.
Fiscal Year	The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The first quarter ends for fiscal year 2017 and 2016 were January 29, 2017 and January 31, 2016, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.
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. To determine 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. 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.
