	(2)                The consolidated financial statements of Deere & Company and consolidated subsidiaries 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 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.
CASH FLOW INFORMATION	'

	(8)                The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at January 31, 2014 were $257 million, compared to $272 million at October 31, 2013.  The liability at January 31, 2014 consisted of approximately $51 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 to the unrecognized tax benefits for the first three months of 2014 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.

FINANCING RECEIVABLES	'
	(10)        Past due balances of financing 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.  Non-performing financing receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income.  These receivables are generally 120 days delinquent and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer’s withholding account, has been 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 resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

Financing 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 quarter of 2014, the Company identified six financing receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $.2 million pre-modification and $.2 million post-modification.  During the first quarter of 2013, there were 26 financing receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with $1.3 million pre-modification and $1.1 million post-modification balances.  During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off.  At January 31, 2014, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES	'
SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES	'
	(11)  Securitization of financing receivables:
	The Company, as a part of its overall funding strategy, periodically transfers certain financing 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 “Short-term securitization borrowings” on the balance sheet.  The securitized retail notes are recorded as “Financing receivables securitized – net” on the balance sheet.  The total restricted assets on the balance sheet related to these securitizations include the financing receivables 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 $2,223 million, $2,626 million and $1,970 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively.  The liabilities (short-term securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled $2,159 million, $2,547 million and $1,915 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, 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 the securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIE were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses and other assets) of $296 million, $353 million and $248 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively.  The liabilities (short-term securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $289 million, $338 million and $245 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, 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 $1,069 million, $1,274 million and $898 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively.  The liabilities (short-term securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were $1,044 million, $1,225 million and $885 million at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, 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 31, 2014
	Carrying value of liabilities	$	1,044
	Maximum exposure to loss		1,069
	The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately $43 billion at January 31, 2014.

	Accrued interest on borrowings	1		1		1
	Total liabilities related to restricted securitized assets	$	3,492	$	4,110	$	3,045
	The secured borrowings related to these restricted securitized 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 31, 2014, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately six years.

	(14)  Commitments and contingencies:
	The Company generally determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience to the estimated amount of equipment that has been sold and is still under warranty based on dealer inventories and retail sales.  The historical claims rate is primarily determined by a review of five-year claims costs and current quality developments.
	The premiums for extended warranties are primarily recognized in income in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred over the contract period.  These unamortized extended warranty premiums (deferred revenue) included in the following table totaled $360 million and $309 million at January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	A reconciliation of the changes in the warranty liability and unearned premiums in millions of dollars follows:

	At January 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $282 million of guarantees issued primarily to banks outside the U.S. and Canada related to third-party receivables for the retail financing of John Deere equipment.  The Company may recover a portion of any required payments incurred under these agreements from repossession of the equipment collateralizing the receivables.  At January 31, 2014, the Company had an accrued liability of approximately $6 million under these agreements.  The maximum remaining term of the receivables guaranteed at January 31, 2014 was approximately six years.
	At January 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of approximately $316 million for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment.  Also, at January 31, 2014, the Company had restricted assets of $105 million, primarily as collateral for borrowings and restricted other assets.  See Note 11 for additional restricted assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations.
	The Company also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities totaling approximately $50 million at January 31, 2014, for which it believes the probability for payment is substantially remote.  The accrued liability for these contingencies was not material at January 31, 2014.
	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 product liability (including asbestos related liability), retail credit, software licensing, patent, trademark and environmental matters.  The Company believes the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions in addition to the amounts accrued would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

	The fair value measurement and impairment loss shown above was the result of changes in circumstances that indicate it was probable the future cash flows would not cover the carrying amounts of certain long-lived assets.  The non-cash charge of $26 million pretax and after-tax was recognized in the first quarter of 2014 in cost of sales.  The impairment was associated with the Company’s John Deere Water operations, which are included in the agriculture and turf operating segment.  The loss was due to a review of strategic options for the business.
	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.
	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:
Marketable Securities – The portfolio of investments is primarily valued on a market approach (matrix pricing model) in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, credit risk and prepayment speeds.
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.
Financing Receivables – Specific reserve impairments are based on the fair value of collateral, which is measured using a market approach (appraisal values or realizable values).  Inputs include a selection of realizable values.
Property and Equipment – Net – The impairments are measured at the lower of the carrying amount, or fair value.  The valuations were based on an income approach using probability weighted cash flows of potential outcomes of the ongoing strategic option review.  The inputs include estimates of the cash flow related to each of the alternatives being considered and management’s estimate of the likelihood of each alternative.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	'
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS	'
	(16)  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’s financial services operations manage the relationship of the types and amounts of their funding sources to their 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 buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currencies.
	All derivatives are recorded at fair value 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 January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 were $3,600 million, $3,100 million and $3,100 million, respectively.  The notional amounts of cross-currency interest rate contracts at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 were $70 million, $816 million and $923 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 or other operating expenses (foreign exchange) in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.  These amounts offset the effects of interest rate or foreign currency 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 other 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 consolidated statement of cash flows.
	The amount of loss recorded in OCI at January 31, 2014 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense or other operating expenses in the next twelve months if interest rates or exchange rates remain unchanged is approximately $5 million after-tax.  These contracts mature in up to 56 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 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 were $8,185 million, $7,380 million and $9,025 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.  During the first three months of 2014 and 2013, the ineffective portions were a loss of $2 million and a gain of $2 million, respectively.  The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
	The gains (losses) on these contracts and the underlying borrowings recorded in interest expense follow in millions of dollars:

	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 and purchases or sales of inventory.  The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 were $5,636 million, $5,627 million and $4,624 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $4,274 million, $3,800 million and $4,698 million and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $86 million, $85 million and $82 million, respectively.  At January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, there were also $1,458 million, $1,641 million and $1,263 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 cost of sales or other 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.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral
Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on reductions in credit ratings.  The aggregate fair value of all derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at January 31, 2014, October 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, was $114 million, $91 million and $36 million, respectively.  The Company, due to its credit rating and amounts of net liability position, has not posted any collateral.  If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the Company would be required to post full collateral for this 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 counterparty exposure by setting limits that consider the credit rating of the counterparty and the size of other financial commitments and exposures between the Company and the counterparty banks.  All interest rate derivatives are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation.  Some of these agreements include credit support provisions.  Each master agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or termination.
The maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur if counterparties to derivative instruments fail to meet their obligations, not considering collateral received or netting arrangements, was the gross asset amount of the derivative shown below.  None of the concentrations of risk with any individual counterparty was considered significant in any periods presented.
Derivatives are recorded without offsetting for netting arrangements or collateral.  The impact on the derivative assets and liabilities related to netting arrangements and any collateral received or paid follows:

DISPOSITION	'
	(18)  In December 2013, the Company closed the sale of 60 percent of its subsidiary John Deere Landscapes, LLC (Landscapes) to a private equity investment firm affiliated with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC (CD&R).  CD&R acquired newly created shares of cumulative convertible participating preferred stock initially representing 60 percent of the outstanding capital stock of Landscapes on an as-converted basis.
	At October 31, 2013, the total assets of $505 million and liabilities of $120 million for these operations were classified as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements and written down to realizable value, which consisted of $153 million of receivables, $219 million of inventories, $37 million of property and equipment, $106 million of goodwill, $25 million of other intangible assets and $10 million of other assets less a $45 million asset impairment.  The related liabilities held for sale consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The total amount of proceeds from the sale at closing was approximately $305 million with no significant gain or loss.
	The Company initially retained 40 percent of the Landscapes business in the form of common stock.  As of January 2014, the Company no longer consolidates Landscapes and reports the results as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.  The fair value of the Company’s retained equity investment was approximately $80 million at closing.  The fair value was determined using an implied equity value approach.  This approach used an option pricing model to determine the value of Landscapes’ total equity based on the purchase price of the preferred stock of $174 million, as well as the preferred stock’s conversion feature and dividend rights.  The value of the Company’s common stock of Landscapes was the difference between the total fair value of the Landscapes’ equity and the value of CD&R’s preferred stock.  The significant unobservable inputs were the expected term of the investment, assumptions about the form of preferred dividend payments and the assumed volatility of the Landscapes enterprise during the term of the investment.  Due to the Company’s continuing involvement through its initial 40 percent interest, Landscapes’ historical operating results are presented in continuing operations.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CASH FLOW INFORMATION (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2014
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CASH FLOW INFORMATION	'
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.
Financing Receivables - Non-Performing, Policy	'
	Past due balances of financing 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.  Non-performing financing receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income.  These receivables are generally 120 days delinquent and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer’s withholding account, has been 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 resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.
	Financing 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.
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.
Inventory Valuation, Policy	'
	Most inventories owned by Deere & Company and its U.S. equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method.
Product Warranties	'
	The Company generally determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience to the estimated amount of equipment that has been sold and is still under warranty based on dealer inventories and retail sales.
Extended Product Warranty, Policy	'
	The premiums for extended warranties are primarily recognized in income in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred over the contract period.
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’s financial services operations manage the relationship of the types and amounts of their funding sources to their 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 buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currencies.
	All derivatives are recorded at fair value 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.
