Item 5. Other Information Events.
John Deere Capital Corporation's net income was $50.2
million in the third quarter and $124.1 million for the first
nine months of 1999, compared with $39.9 million and $103.4
million for the same periods last year. The 1999 third quarter
and year-to-date results benefited from higher gains on the
sale of retail notes, the sale of the yacht retail note
portfolio and related intangibles, and higher income on a 6
percent increase in the average balance of receivables and
leases financed during the first nine months.
Net receivables and leases financed by John Deere Capital
Corporation were $7.170 billion at July 31, 1999, compared with
$6.952 billion one year ago. The increase resulted from
acquisitions exceeding collections during the last 12 months
and the consolidation of the portfolio of its subsidiary, John
Deere Credit Limited in Gloucester, England, due to the
acquisition of a controlling interest in 1999. This increase
was partially offset by the previously mentioned retail note
sales during the same period. Net receivables and leases
administered, which include receivables previously sold, were
$9.391 billion at July 31, 1999, compared with $8.381 billion
at July 31, 1998.
