In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of those expected for any other interim period or for a full year. Certain March 1999 accounts have been reclassified to conform with the March 2000 and September 1999 presentation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, significant accounting policies and other notes to the consolidated financial statements included in TMCC's 1999 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Form 10-K. -6- TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 2 - Finance Receivables - ---------------------------- Finance receivables, net consisted of the following: March 31, September 30, March 31, 2000 1999 1999 --------- ------------- --------- (Dollars in Millions) Retail..................................... $10,773 $ 9,524 $ 8,753 Finance leases............................. 5,456 4,065 2,813 Wholesale and other dealer loans........... 2,021 1,292 1,468 ------- ------- ------- 18,250 14,881 13,034 Unearned income............................

The weighted average remaining term and weighted average interest rate of commercial paper was 37 days and 6.05%, respectively, at March 31, 2000. The weighted average remaining term and weighted average interest rate on extendible commercial notes at March 31, 2000 was 23 days and 6.12%, respectively. Short-term MTNs with original terms of one year or less, included in other senior debt, were $1.5 billion at March 31, 2000. The weighted average interest rate on these short- term MTNs was 6.17% at March 31, 2000, including the effect of interest rate swap agreements. The weighted average interest rate on other senior debt was 6.07% at March 31, 2000, including the effect of interest rate swap agreements. This rate has been calculated using rates in effect at March 31, 2000, some of which are floating rates that reset periodically. Approximately 58.8% of other senior debt at March 31, 2000 had interest rates including the effect of interest rate swap agreements that were fixed. The weighted average of these fixed interest rates was 6.48% at March 31, 2000. Approximately 39.4% of total debt at March 31, 2000 had floating interest rates that were covered by option-based products. The weighted average strike rate on these option-based products was 6.06% at March 31, 2000. TMCC manages interest rate risk through continuous adjustment of the mix of fixed and floating rate debt using interest rate swap agreements and option-based products. -8- TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 4 - Notes and Loans Payable (continued) - -------------------------------------------- Included in notes and loans payable at March 31, 2000 were unsecured notes denominated in various foreign currencies; concurrent with the issuance of these notes, TMCC entered into cross currency interest rate swap agreements to convert these obligations at maturity into U.S. dollar obligations which in aggregate total a principal amount of $7.5 billion. TMCC's foreign currency debt was translated into U.S. dollars in the financial statements at the various foreign currency spot exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2000. The receivables or payables arising as a result of the differences between the March 31, 2000 foreign currency spot exchange rates and the contract rates applicable to the cross currency interest rate swap agreements are classified in other receivables or accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, and in aggregate reflect a net payable position of $903 million at March 31, 2000. Note 5 - Related Party Transactions - ----------------------------------- TMCC has an arrangement to borrow from and invest funds with Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. ("TMS" or "Parent") at short term market rates. For the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the highest amounts of funds, included in Receivable from Parent and Affiliate, invested with TMS were $759 million and $2.0 billion, respectively. Interest earned on these investments totaled $4 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $10 million and $25 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Note 6 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - ----------------------------------------------- As of March 31, 2000, TMCC has guaranteed payments of principal, interest and premiums, if any, on $165.5 million principal amount of bonds issued in connection with the manufacturing facilities of certain of its affiliates. Effective July 1999, TMCC authorized the guarantee of up to $50 million of the debt of Toyota Credit Argentina S.A. ("TCA"), of which $40 million has been guaranteed as of March 31, 2000. -9- TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 7 - Segment Information - ---------------------------- Financial results for the Company's operating segments are summarized below: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------ ----------------- - --- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------ ------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Millions) Assets: Financing operations.............. $ 26,232 $ 22,590 $ 26,232 $ 22,590 Insurance operations.............. 772 649 772 649 Eliminations/reclassifications....

On April 18, 2000, Toyota Motor Corporation announced its plans to establish Toyota Financial Services Corporation ("TFS"), a Japanese corporation that will eventually oversee Toyota's worldwide financial service operations, including those in the United States. TFS is scheduled to assume ownership of TMCC, currently a subsidiary of TMS, on October 1, 2000. In March 2000, certain nationally recognized statistical rating organizations placed several classes of TMCC's lease securitizations under review for possible downgrade as a result of higher than expected residual value losses. In April 2000, TMCC announced that it will make a cash capital contribution totaling $102 million to Toyota Leasing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMCC, for deposit into the reserve funds of the lease securitizations under review. TMCC also announced that a portion of the monthly excess cash flows in the transactions will be retained in these reserve funds to supplement the capital contribution. As a result of TMCC's stated intentions, the rating organizations affirmed the original credit ratings for the lease asset-backed securities. -10- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Income - ---------- The following table summarizes TMCC's net income by operating segment for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------ ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- (Dollars in Millions) Net income: Financing operations................ $14 $23 $41 $51 Insurance operations................ 11 5 16 12 --- --- --- --- Total net income................. $25 $28 $57 $63 === === === === Net income from financing operations decreased 39% and 20% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 primarily due to lower interest margin as a result of higher interest expense, lower investment and other income and higher operating and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower depreciation on leases and higher financing revenues. Net income from insurance operations increased $6 million and $4 million for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000,respectively, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999, primarily due to lower provision for income taxes reflecting a modification of tax allocation treatment for intercompany insurance income which resulted in elimination of previously provided income tax and reduction of current income tax by $7 million. -11- Earning Assets - -------------- The composition of TMCC's net earning assets (which excludes retail receivables and interests in lease finance receivables sold through securitization transactions), as of the balance sheet dates reported herein and TMCC's vehicle lease and retail contract volume and finance penetration for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 are summarized below: March 31, September 30, March 31, 2000 1999 1999 --------- ------------- --------- (Dollars in Millions) Vehicle lease Investment in operating leases, net..... $ 8,048 $ 8,290 $ 8,841 Finance leases, net..................... 4,454 3,315 2,271 ------ ------- ------- Total vehicle leases..................... 12,502 11,605 11,112 Vehicle retail finance receivables, net.. 10,115 8,916 8,143 Vehicle wholesale and other receivables.. 2,947 2,142 2,259 Allowance for credit losses..............

Asset growth from September 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999, reflects primarily higher vehicle retail and finance lease contract volume, as well as increased wholesale earning assets. The increase in retail earning assets was partially offset by the sale of $989 million of retail finance receivables in July 1999. Wholesale earning assets increased from September 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999, due to an increase in the number of dealers receiving wholesale financing from TMCC. The allowance for credit losses increased from September 30, 1999 reflecting asset growth and is deemed adequate to cover expected losses based on current and historical credit loss experience, portfolio composition and other factors. In October 1996, TMCC created Toyota Lease Trust, a Delaware business trust (the "Titling Trust"), to act as a lessor and to hold title to leased vehicles in specified states. TMCC holds an undivided trust interest in lease contracts owned by the Titling Trust, and such lease contracts are included in TMCC's lease assets, until such time as the beneficial interests in such contracts are transferred in connection with a securitization transaction. Substantially all leases owned by the Titling Trust are classified as finance receivables due to certain residual value insurance arrangements in place with respect to such leases, while leases of similar nature originated outside of the Titling Trust are classified as operating leases. The continued acquisition of leases by the Titling Trust has changed the composition of earning assets resulting in an increased mix of finance receivables relative to operating lease assets due to the classification differences described above. TMCC's lease contract volume increased for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 reflecting strong sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles as well as higher levels of programs sponsored by TMS. TMCC's retail contract volume increased for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 primarily due to higher finance penetration on strong sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, as well as an increase in used vehicle financing. -13- Net Financing Revenues and Other Revenues - ----------------------------------------- TMCC's net financing revenues increased 5% and 4% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 primarily due to lower depreciation on leases, described below under Depreciation on Leases, and increased retail and wholesale revenue, substantially offset by higher interest expense. TMCC's continued use of the Titling Trust to purchase leases has caused a shift in the composition of earning assets from operating leases to finance receivables, as discussed earlier, and has resulted in increased revenues from finance leases and reduced operating lease revenues and depreciation on operating leases. Insurance premiums earned and contract revenues increased 13% and 17% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 due to higher underwriting revenues associated with in-force agreements. The following table summarizes TMCC's investment and other income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------ ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- (Dollars in Millions) Investment income...................... $11 $ 9 $22 $19 Servicing fee income................... 7 10 17 19 Gains on assets sold................... - 1 1 6 Asset impairment....................... (14) - (14) - ---- ---- ---- ---- Investment and other income......... $ 4 $20 $26 $44 ==== ==== ==== ==== The decrease in investment and other income for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 was primarily due to the permanent impairment of assets retained in the sale of interests in lease finance receivables resulting from higher than expected residual value losses. In addition, TMCC expects a decrease in investment and other income for the quarter ended June 30,2000 resulting from the discounting of cash deposited into the reserve funds of the Company's lease securitizations as described in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Investment income increased 22% and 16% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 primarily due to increased interest income. Servicing fee income decreased 30% and 10% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 due to the reduction in the combined balance of sold interests in lease finance and sold retail receivables as well as a temporary waiver of servicing fee income related to the fiscal 1997 sale of interests in lease finance receivables. Gains on assets sold decreased by $5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same period in fiscal 1999 reflecting a decrease in the amount of finance receivables sold. Gains recognized on asset- backed securitization transactions generally accelerate the recognition of income on lease and retail contracts, net of servicing fees and other related deferrals, into the period the assets are sold. Numerous factors can affect the timing and amounts of these gains, such as the type and amount of assets sold, the structure of the sale, key assumptions used and current financial market conditions. -14- Depreciation on Leases - ---------------------- The following table sets forth the items included in TMCC's depreciation on leases for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------ ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- (Dollars in Millions) Straight-line depreciation on operating leases... $323 $351 $644 $712 Provision for residual value losses.............. 44 76 106 146 ---- ---- ---- ---- Total depreciation on leases.................. $367 $427 $750 $858 ==== ==== ==== ==== Straight-line depreciation expense decreased 8% and 10% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 corresponding with a decline in average operating lease assets. As discussed earlier, the acquisition of leases by the Titling Trust has increased the ratio of lease finance receivables relative to operating lease assets, which results in reduced operating lease revenues and depreciation on operating leases. TMCC is subject to residual value risk in connection with its lease portfolio. TMCC's residual value exposure is a function of the number of off-lease vehicles returned for disposition and any shortfall between the net disposition proceeds and the estimated unguaranteed residual values on returned vehicles. If the market value of a leased vehicle at contract termination is less than its contract residual value, the vehicle is more likely to be returned to TMCC. A higher rate of vehicle returns exposes TMCC to a higher risk of aggregate losses. Total unguaranteed residual values related to TMCC's vehicle lease portfolio increased from approximately $6.5 billion at September 30, 1999 to $7.1 billion at March 31, 2000. TMCC maintains an allowance for estimated losses on lease vehicles returned to the Company for disposition at lease termination. The level of allowance required to cover future vehicle disposition losses is based upon projected vehicle return rates and projected residual value losses derived from market information on used vehicle sales, historical factors, including lease return trends, and general economic factors. The decrease in the provision for residual value losses for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 reflects reduced losses at vehicle disposition of $15 million and $18 million, respectively, as well as management's estimate that current reserve levels are considered adequate to cover expected losses at vehicle disposition as of March 31, 2000. The number of returned leased vehicles sold by TMCC during a specified period as a percentage of the number of lease contracts that as of their origination dates were scheduled to terminate ("full term return ratio") was 52% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 as compared to 48% for the same period in fiscal 1999 while per unit residual value loss rates have improved for the same period. -15- TMCC believes that industry-wide record levels of incentives on new vehicles and a large supply of late model off-lease vehicles have put downward pressure on used car prices. In addition, TMCC's increased vehicle return rates reflect the impact of competitive new vehicle pricing for core Toyota and Lexus models. Return rates and losses may also be affected by the amount and types of accessories or installed optional equipment included in leased vehicles. Although vehicle loss rates are typically the result of a combination of factors, to the extent certain types of optional equipment depreciate more quickly than the value of the base vehicle, leased vehicles having a greater portion of their manufacturer's suggested retail price attributable to such optional equipment will experience relatively higher levels of loss. TMCC expects the large supply of vehicles coming off-lease to continue through fiscal 2000 and that the full term return ratio and losses will remain at or near current levels. The Company has taken action to reduce vehicle disposition losses by developing strategies to increase dealer and lessee purchases of off-lease vehicles, expanding marketing of off-lease vehicles through the internet and maximizing proceeds on vehicles sold through auction. In addition, TMCC implemented a new residual value setting policy for new model year 1999 Toyota vehicles that separately calculates the residual value applicable to the base vehicle and the residual value applicable to certain specified optional accessories and optional equipment. TMCC's lease portfolio includes contracts with original terms ranging from 12 to 60 months; the average original contract term in TMCC's lease portfolio was 41 months and 39 months at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest Expense - ---------------- Interest expense increased 44% and 29% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 primarily due to higher average cost of borrowings and increased average debt outstanding. The weighted average cost of borrowings was 6.07% and 5.36% for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Continuing increases in market interest rates are expected to negatively impact the interest margin on TMCC's outstanding portfolio. Operating and Administrative Expenses - ------------------------------------- Operating and administrative expenses increased 7% and 8% for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999 reflecting expenses associated with technology-related projects, as well as costs to support TMCC's growing customer base. -16- Provision for Credit Losses - --------------------------- TMCC's provision for credit losses remained relatively stable for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the same periods in fiscal 1999. Allowances for credit losses are evaluated periodically, considering historical loss experience and other factors, and are considered adequate to cover expected credit losses as of March 31, 2000. In April 2000, TMCC completed the national launch of an expanded tiered pricing program for retail vehicle contracts. The objective of the expanded program is to better match customer risk with contract rates charged to allow profitable purchases of a wider range of risk levels. A pilot program for expanded tiered pricing for lease vehicle contracts is underway. Implementation of these expanded programs is expected to both increase contract yields and increase credit losses in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts. Net credit loss experience, excluding net losses on receivables sold subject to limited recourse provisions, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, ------------------ ---------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ----- ----- ----- ----- (Dollars in Millions) Gross Credit Losses............. $ 31 $ 29 $ 57 $ 56 Recoveries......................

Significant reliance is placed on the Company's ability to obtain debt funding in the capital markets in addition to funding provided by earning asset liquidations and cash provided by operating activities as well as transactions through the Company's asset- backed securities programs. Debt issuances have generally been in the form of commercial paper, extendible commercial notes, domestic and euro medium-term notes ("MTNs"), and bonds. Commercial paper issuances and extendible commercial notes are used to meet short-term funding needs. Commercial paper outstanding under TMCC's commercial paper program ranged from approximately $1.5 billion to $3.6 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2000, with an average outstanding balance of $2.5 billion. The outstanding balance of extendible commercial notes at March 31, 2000 totaled $148 million. For additional liquidity purposes, TMCC maintains syndicated bank credit facilities with certain banks which aggregated $2.7 billion at March 31, 2000. No loans were outstanding under any of these bank credit facilities during the first six months of fiscal 2000. TMCC also maintains uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit with banks totaling $175 million, of which $100 million is maintained along with TMS. At March 31, 2000, TMCC and TMS had issued approximately $13 million in letters of credit in connection with these uncommitted, unsecured lines of credit. Long-term funding requirements are met through the issuance of a variety of debt securities underwritten in both the United States and international capital markets. Domestic and euro MTNs and bonds have provided TMCC with significant sources of funding. During the first six months of fiscal 2000, TMCC issued approximately $2.6 billion of domestic and euro MTNs and bonds, all of which had original maturities of one year or more. The original maturities of all MTNs and bonds outstanding at March 31, 2000 ranged from one to eleven years. As of March 31, 2000, TMCC had total MTNs and bonds outstanding of $16.1 billion, of which $6.6 billion was denominated in foreign currencies. TMCC anticipates continued use of MTNs and bonds in both the United States and international capital markets. The Company maintains a shelf registration with the SEC providing for the issuance of MTNs and other debt securities. At April 30, 2000 approximately $5.8 billion was available for issuance under this registration statement. The maximum aggregate principal amount authorized to be outstanding at any time under TMCC's euro MTN program is $16.0 billion. Approximately $4.4 billion was available for issuance under the euro MTN program as of April 30, 2000 of which TMCC had committed to issue approximately $102 million. The United States and euro MTN programs may be expanded from time to time to allow for the continued use of these sources of funding. In addition, TMCC may issue bonds in the domestic and international capital market that are not issued under its domestic or euro MTN programs. Additionally, TMCC uses its asset-backed securitization programs to generate funds for investment in earning assets. As described earlier, leases are purchased by the Toyota Lease Trust to maintain a pool of assets available for sale in connection with TMCC's lease securitization program. However, until leases are included in a securitization transaction, they continue to be classified as finance receivables on TMCC's balance sheet. In addition, TMCC maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC relating to the issuance of asset-backed notes secured by, and certificates representing interests in, retail receivables. As of April 30, 2000, $1.5 billion remained available for issuance under the registration statement. -18- In March 2000, certain nationally recognized statistical rating organizations placed several classes of TMCC's lease securitizations under review for possible downgrade as a result of higher than expected residual value losses. In April 2000, TMCC announced that it will make a cash capital contribution totaling $102 million to Toyota Leasing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMCC, for deposit into the reserve funds of the lease securitizations under review. TMCC also announced that a portion of the monthly excess cash flows in the transactions will be retained in these reserve funds to supplement the capital contribution. As a result of TMCC's stated intentions, the rating organizations affirmed the original credit ratings for the lease asset-backed securities. TMCC's long term unsecured ratings were unaffected by these recent events. TMCC does not believe that the rating organization actions have had a material adverse effect on its liquidity or access to capital markets. TMCC's ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.14 for the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to 1.23 for the first six months of fiscal 1999. TMCC believes that the decline in the ratio has not affected its ability to maintain liquidity or access to outside funding sources. The decline in the ratio is due to several factors including higher interest expense, lower investment and other income as well as higher operating and administrative expenses attributable to technology projects and TMCC's growing customer base. Cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities have been used primarily to support earning asset growth. During the first six months of fiscal 2000, cash used to purchase additional finance receivables and investments in operating leases, totaling $14.0 billion, was partially provided by the liquidation and sale of earning assets totaling $10.3 billion. Investing activities resulted in a net cash use of $3.1 billion during the first six months of fiscal 2000, as the purchase of additional earning assets exceeded cash provided by the liquidation and sale of earning assets. Investing activities were also supported by net cash provided by operating and financing activities totaling $1.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, during the first six months of fiscal 2000. The Company believes that cash provided by operating and investing activities as well as access to domestic and international capital markets, the issuance of commercial paper and extendible commercial notes, and asset-backed securitization transactions will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its future funding requirements. -19- Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 The foregoing Business description and Management's Discussion and Analysis contain various "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the following: that TMCC expects a decrease in investment and other income for the quarter ended June 30,2000 resulting from the discounting of cash deposited into the reserve fund of the Company's lease securitizations; that current reserve levels are considered adequate to cover expected losses at vehicle disposition; that TMCC believes that industry-wide record levels of incentives on new vehicles and large supply of late model off-lease vehicles have put downward pressure on used car prices; that TMCC expects the large supply of vehicles coming off- lease to continue through fiscal 2000 and that the full term return ratio and losses will remain at or near current levels; that continuing increases in market interest rates are expected to negatively impact the interest margin on the existing portfolio; that the implementation of the expanded tiered pricing program is expected to both increase contract yields and increase credit losses in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts; that allowances for credit losses are considered adequate to cover expected credit losses; that TMCC anticipates continued use of MTNs and bonds in the United States and the international capital markets; that TMCC may issue bonds in the domestic and international capital markets that are not issued under its MTN programs; that TMCC does not believe that the rating organizations actions have had a material adverse effect on its liquidity or access to capital markets; that the decline in the ratio of earnings to fixed charges has not affected TMCC's ability to maintain liquidity or access to outside funding sources; that cash provided by operating and investing activities as well as access to domestic and international capital markets, the issuance of commercial paper and extendible commercial notes, and asset-backed securitization transactions will provide sufficient liquidity to meet TMCC's future funding requirements. The Company cautions that the forward looking statements referred to above involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements, including, without limitation, the following: decline in demand for Toyota and Lexus products; the effect of economic conditions; a decline in the market acceptability of leasing; the effect of competitive pricing on interest margins; increases in prevailing interest rates; changes in pricing due to the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the United States dollar; the effect of governmental actions; the effect of competitive pressures on the used car market and residual values and the continuation of the other factors causing an increase in vehicle returns and disposition losses; the continuation of, and if continued, the level and type of special programs offered by TMS; the ability of the Company to successfully access the United States and international capital markets; the effects of any rating agency actions; the monetary policies exercised by the European Central Bank and other monetary authorities; increased costs associated with the Company's debt funding efforts; with respect to the effects of litigation matters, the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or determination by judges, juries or other finders of fact which do not accord with the Company's evaluation of the possible liability from existing litigation; and the ability of the Company's counterparties to perform under interest rate and cross currency swap agreements. Results actually achieved thus may differ materially from expected results included in these statements, and the Company will not update the forward looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward looking statements. -20- New Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS No. 133 requires companies to record derivatives on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be accounted for as either components of earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133", which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has not determined the impact that adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 133 by October 1, 2000, as required. -21- ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. As discussed more fully in TMCC's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K, TMCC uses a variety of interest rate and currency derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate and currency exchange exposures. TMCC does not use these instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments used by TMCC involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in the event a counterparty should default and market risk as the instruments are subject to rate and price fluctuations. Credit exposure of derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at March 31, 2000 reduced by the effects of master netting agreements. The credit exposure of TMCC's derivative financial instruments at March 31, 2000 was $97 million on an aggregate notional amount of $36.8 billion. At March 31, 2000 approximately 96% of TMCC's derivative financial instruments, based on notional amounts, were with commercial banks and investment banking firms assigned investment grade ratings of "AA" or better by national rating agencies. TMCC does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. Changes in interest rates may impact TMCC's future weighted average interest rate on outstanding debt as a result of floating rate liabilities. As of March 31, 2000, an interest rate increase of 1% (100 basis points) would raise TMCC's weighted average interest rate, including the effects of interest rate swap agreements and option-based products, by .51% from 6.11% to an estimated 6.62% at March 31, 2000. Conversely, an interest rate decrease of 1% (100 basis points) would lower TMCC's weighted average interest rate, including the effects of interest rate swap agreements and option-based products, by .61% from 6.11% to an estimated 5.50% at March 31, 2000. TMCC uses a value-at-risk methodology, in connection with other management tools, to assess and manage the interest rate risk of aggregated loan and lease assets and financial liabilities, including interest rate derivatives and option-based products. Value-at-risk represents the potential losses for a portfolio from adverse changes in market factors for a specified period of time and likelihood of occurrence (i.e. level of confidence). TMCC's value- at-risk methodology incorporates the impact from adverse changes in market interest rates but does not incorporate any impact from other market changes, such as foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices, which do not affect the value of TMCC's portfolio. The value-at-risk methodology excludes changes in fair values related to investments in marketable securities as these amounts are not significant. The value-at-risk methodology uses four years of historical interest rate data to build a database of prediction errors in forward rates for a one month holding period. These prediction errors are then applied randomly to current forward rates through a Monte Carlo process to simulate 500 potential future yield curves. The portfolio is then re-priced with these curves to develop a distribution of future portfolio values. Options in the portfolio are priced with current market implied volatilities and the simulated yield curves using the Black Scholes method. The lowest portfolio value at the 95% confidence interval is compared with the current portfolio value to derive the value-at- risk number. -22- The value-at-risk and the average value-at-risk of TMCC's portfolio as of March 31, 2000 and for the six months ended March 31, 2000, measured as the potential 30 day loss in fair value from assumed adverse changes in interest rates are as follows: Average for the As of Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 March 31, 2000 ----------------- ------------------ Mean portfolio value..................... $4,990.0 million $4,370.0 million Value-at-risk............................ $116.4 million $111.2 million Percentage of the mean portfolio value... 2.3% 2.5% Confidence level......................... 95.0% 95.0% TMCC's calculated value-at-risk exposure represents an estimate of reasonably possible net losses that would be recognized on its portfolio of financial instruments assuming hypothetical movements in future market rates and is not necessarily indicative of actual results which may occur. It does not represent the maximum possible loss nor any expected loss that may occur, since actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated, based upon actual fluctuations in market rates, operating exposures, and the timing thereof, and changes in the composition of TMCC's portfolio of financial instruments during the year. A reconciliation of the activity of TMCC's derivative financial instruments for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is as follows: Six Months Ended March 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ Cross Currency Interest Interest Indexed Rate Swap Rate Swap Option-based Note Swap Agreements Agreements Products Agreements ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- (Dollars in Billions) Beginning notional amount....... $8.8 $9.0 $ 9.0 $7.3 $6.9 $6.3 $1.3 $0.8 Add: New agreements............... 0.9 - 11.2 3.2 2.8 0.9 0.2 0.5 Less: Terminated agreements........ - - 0.3 - - - - Expired agreements........... 1.9 0.3 1.1 1.8 1.3 0.7 - 0.2 ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Ending notional amount.......... $7.8 $8.7 $19.1 $8.4 $8.4 $6.5 $1.5 $1.1 ==== ==== ===== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== -23- Review by Independent Accountants With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of Toyota Motor Credit Corporation for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated May 12, 2000 appearing herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act. -24- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Various legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against TMCC and its subsidiaries with respect to matters arising from the ordinary course of business. Certain of these actions are or purport to be class action suits, seeking sizeable damages. Certain of these actions are similar to suits which have been filed against other financial institutions and captive finance companies. Management and internal and external counsel perform periodic reviews of pending claims and actions to determine the probability of adverse verdicts and resulting amounts of liability. The amounts of liability on pending claims and actions as of March 31, 2000 were not determinable; however, in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability resulting therefrom should not have a material adverse effect on TMCC's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The foregoing is a forward looking statement within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, which represents the Company's expectations and beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that its discussion of Legal Proceedings is further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statement, including but not limited to the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which do not accord with the Company's evaluation of the possible liability from existing litigation.
