PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") iswas incorporated in California in 1982
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. ("TMS") and
was incorporated in California in 1982 and
commenced operations in 1983. TMS is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC"). On October 1, 2000, ownership of TMCC was
transferred from TMS to Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation
("TFSA"), a holding company owned 100% by Toyota Financial Services Corporation
("TFSC"). TFSC, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMC. TFSC was
incorporated in July 2000 and its corporate headquarters is located in Nagoya,
Japan. The purpose of TFSC is to control and manage Toyota's finance
operations worldwide.
TMCC provides retail leasing, retail and wholesale financing, retail leasing and certain other
financial services to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota industrial
equipment dealers and their customers in the United States (excluding Hawaii)and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. TMCC has four wholly-owned subsidiaries,
one of which is engaged in the insurance business, one limited purpose
subsidiary formed primarily to acquire and securitize retail finance
receivables, one limited purpose subsidiary formed primarily to acquire and
securitize lease finance receivables and one subsidiary which provides retail
and wholesale financing and certain other financial services to authorized
Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers and their customers in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. TMCC does business as Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and Lexus
Financial Services and markets products under the service mark "Toyota
Financial Services". TMCC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively
referred to as the "Company".
Toyota Credit Argentina S.A. ("TCA") provides retail and wholesale financing to
authorized Toyota vehicle dealers and their customers in Argentina. As of
December 13, 1999, TMCC owns
a 33% interest in TCA. Banco Toyota do Brasil ("BTB") provides retail and
lease financing to authorized Toyota vehicle dealers and their customers in
Brazil. BTB is owned 15% by TMCC. The remaining interests in TCA and BTB are
owned by Toyota Motor Corporation
("TMC"), the ultimate parent of TMCC and TMS.TFSC.
The Company's earnings are primarily impacted by the level of average earning
assets, comprised primarily of investments in finance receivables and operating
leases, and asset yields as well as outstanding borrowings and the cost of
funds. The Company's business is substantially dependent upon the sale of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. For the year ended September
30, 2000, TMS sold approximately 1,629,000 automobiles and light trucks in
the United States (excluding Hawaii), of which approximately 1,033,000 were
manufactured in the United States; TMS exported approximately 36,100
automobiles. TMS' sales represented approximately 31% of TMC's worldwide
unit sales volume for the year ended March 31, 2000. For the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, Toyota and Lexus vehicles accounted for
approximately 9.1% and 8.7%, respectively, of all retail automobile and light
truck unit sales volume in the United States. Changes in the volume of sales
of such vehicles resulting from governmental action, changes in consumer
demand, changes in pricing of imported units due to currency fluctuations, or
other events, could impact the level of finance and insurance operations of the
Company. To date, the level of the Company's operations has not been
restricted by the level of sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
An operating-2-
In connection with the creation of TFSC and the transfer of ownership of TMCC
from TMS to TFSC, a new credit support agreement (the "TMC Credit Support
Agreement") has been entered into between TMC and TFSC, and a new credit
support agreement (the "TFSC Credit Support Agreement") has been entered into
between TFSC and TMCC. Under the terms of the TMC Credit Support Agreement, TMC
has agreed to: 1) maintain 100% ownership of TFSC; 2) cause TFSC and its
subsidiaries to have a net worth of at least Japanese yen 10 million; and 3)
make sufficient funds available to TFSC so that TFSC will be able to (i)
service the obligations arising out of its own bonds, debentures, notes and
other investment securities and commercial paper and (ii) honor its obligations
incurred as a result of guarantees or credit support agreements that it has
extended. The agreement is not a guarantee by TMC of any securities or
obligations of TFSC. Under the terms of the TFSC Credit Support Agreement, TFSC
agreed to: 1) maintain 100% ownership of TMCC; 2) cause TMCC TMS and Toyota Motor Manufacturing North
America, Inc. ("TMMNA") (the "Operating Agreement"), providesits
subsidiaries to have a net worth of at least U.S. $100,000; and 3) make
sufficient funds available to TMCC so that TMCC will establishbe able to service the
obligations arising out of its own financing ratesbonds, debentures, notes and other
investment securities and commercial paper (collectively, "TMCC Securities").
The agreement is not a guarantee by TFSC of any TMCC Securities or other
obligations of TMCC. The TMC Credit Support Agreement and the TFSC Credit
Support Agreement are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
of Japan. Both agreements are filed as exhibits in Item 14.
Holders of TMCC Securities will have the right to claim directly against TFSC
and TMC to perform their respective obligations under the credit support
agreements by making a written claim together with a declaration to the effect
that the holder will have recourse to the rights given under the credit support
agreement. If TFSC and/or TMC receives such a claim from any holder of TMCC
Securities, TFSC and/or TMC shall indemnify, without any further action or
formality, the holder against any loss or damage resulting from the failure of
TFSC and/or TMC to perform any of their respective obligations under the credit
support agreements. The holder of TMCC Securities who made the claim may then
enforce the indemnity directly against TFSC and/or TMC.
TMC files periodic reports and other information with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which can be read and copied at the public
reference facilities maintained by the SEC at Room 1024, Judiciary Plaza, 450
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and at the regional offices of the
SEC located at 7 World Trade Center, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10048 and
at Citicorp Center, 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois
60661. Copies of such material may also be obtained by mail from the Public
Reference Section of the SEC, at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Room 1024, Washington,
D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates.
A Repurchase Agreement was entered into between TMCC and TMS in October 2000
which provides that TMCC is under no obligation to TMS to finance wholesale
obligations from any dealers or retail obligations of any customers. In
addition, pursuant to the Operating Agreement, TMS will arrange for the repurchase of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles
financed at wholesale by TMCC at the aggregate cost financed in the event of
dealer default. The OperatingRepurchase Agreement also specifies that TMS will retain 100% ownershipis filed as an exhibit in Item 14.
On June 6, 2000, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of TMCC
as long as
TMCC has any funded debt outstandingapproved a change in TMCC's year-end from September 30 to March 31. A report
covering the six-month transition period beginning October 1, 2000 and that TMS and TMMNAending
March 31, 2001 will make necessary
equity contributions or provide other financial assistance deemed appropriate
to ensure that TMCC maintains a minimum coveragebe filed with the SEC on fixed charges of 1.10 times
such fixed charges in any fiscal quarter. Under the Operating Agreement, all
loans by TMS and TMMNA to TMCC must be subordinated to all other indebtedness
of TMCC. The Operating Agreement does not constitute a guarantee by TMS or
TMMNA of any obligations of TMCC. The fixed charge coverage provision of the
Operating Agreement is solely for the benefit of the holders of TMCC's
commercial paper and extendible commercial notes, and the Operating Agreement
may be amended or terminated at any time without notice to, or the consent of,
holders of other TMCC obligations.

Retail Leasing
TMCC purchases primarily new vehicle lease contracts originated by Toyota and
Lexus dealers. Lease contracts purchased must first meet TMCC's credit
standards after which TMCC assumes ownership of the leased vehicles and is
generally permitted to take possession of vehicles upon lessee default. TMCC
is responsible for contract collection and administration during the lease
period and for the value of the vehicle at lease maturity if the vehicle is not
purchased by the lessee or dealer. Off-lease vehicles returned to TMCC are
sold through a network of auction sites located throughout the United States as
well as through the internet. TMCC requires lessees to carry fire, theft,
collision and liability insurance on leased vehicles covering the interests of
both TMCC and the lessee. Leasing revenues contributed 76%72%, 80%76% and 83%80% to
total financing revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999
1998
and 1997,1998, respectively.
In October 1996, TMCC created Toyota Lease Trust, a Delaware business trust
(the "Titling Trust"), to act as lessor and to hold title to leased vehicles in
specified states in connection with a lease securitization program. TMCC acts
as the servicer for lease contracts purchased by the Titling Trust from Toyota
and Lexus dealers and services such lease contracts in the same manner as
contracts owned directly by TMCC. 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.
Retail Financing
TMCC purchases primarily new and used vehicle installment contracts from Toyota
and Lexus dealers. Certain of the used vehicle contracts purchased by TMCC are
"Certified" Toyota and Lexus used vehicle contracts which relate to vehicles
purchased by dealers, reconditioned and certified to meet certain Toyota and
Lexus standards, and sold or leased with an extended warranty from the
manufacturer. Installment contracts purchased must first meet TMCC's credit
standards and thereafter TMCC retains responsibility for contract collection
and administration. TMCC acquires security interests in the vehicles financed
and generally can repossess vehicles if customers fail to meet contract
obligations. Substantially all of TMCC's retail financings are non-recourse
which relieves the dealers from financial responsibility in the event of
repossession. TMCC requires retail financing customers to carry fire, theft
and collision insurance on financed vehicles covering the interests of both
TMCC and the customer. Retail financing revenues contributed 21%23%, 17%20% and 14%16%
to total financing revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
During fiscal 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 national launch of
an expanded tiered pricing program for lease vehicle contracts is planned for
fiscal 2001. Implementation of these expanded programs is expected to
increase contract yields and 1997, respectively.as the portfolio matures, increase credit losses
in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts.
TMS has historically and continues to sponsor special lease and retail programs
by subsidizing below market lease and retail contract rates.

portfolio amounts in the above table.
Wholesale Financing
TMCC provides wholesale financing primarily to qualified Toyota and Lexus
vehicle dealers to finance inventories of new Toyota and Lexus vehicles and
used Toyota, Lexus and other vehicles. TMCC acquires security interests in
vehicles financed at wholesale, and substantially all such financings are
backed by corporate or individual guarantees from or on behalf of participating
dealers. In the event of dealer default, TMCC has the right to liquidate any
assets acquired and seek legal remedies pursuant to the guarantees. Pursuant
to the OperatingRepurchase Agreement, TMS will arrange for the repurchase of new Toyota
and Lexus vehicles financed at wholesale by TMCC at the aggregate cost financed
in the event of dealer default.

TMCC also makes term loans to dealers for business acquisitions, facilities
refurbishment, real estate purchases and working capital requirements. These
loans are typically secured with liens on real estate, other dealership assets
and/or personal guarantees of the dealers. Wholesale and other dealer
financing revenues contributed 3%5%, 4% and 4% to total financing revenues for
each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and 1997.

Insurance
The principal activities of TMCC's insurance subsidiary, Toyota Motor Insurance
Services, Inc. ("TMIS"), include marketing, underwriting, claims administration
and providing certain coverages related to vehicle service agreements and
contractual liability agreements sold by or through Toyota and Lexus vehicle
dealers and affiliates to customers. In addition, TMIS insures and reinsures
certain TMS and TMCC risks. Income before income taxes from insurance
operations contributed 13%22%, 16%13% and 12%16% to total income before income taxes for
the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 1998 and 1997,1998, respectively.
Servicing
TMCC remains as servicer on accounts included in its asset-backed
securitization transactions and is paid a servicing fee.
Field Operations
During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, TMCC announced plans to restructure
the Company's field operations. The branch offices of TMCC will be converted
to serve only dealer business which includes the purchasing of contracts from
dealers, financing inventories, loans to dealers for business acquisitions,
facilities refurbishment, real estate purchases and working capital
requirements, as well as consulting on finance and insurance operations. The
other functions that the branch offices currently cover, such as customer
service, collections, lease termination and administrative functions, will be
handled by three regional call centers. The new structure is expected to be
completed in fiscal 2003.
Funding
Funding to support the Company's level of earning assets is provided by access
to the capital markets as well as earning asset liquidations and funds provided
by operating activities. Capital market funding has generally been in the form
of commercial paper, extendible commercial notes, domestic and euro medium-term
notes and bonds and transactions through the Company's asset-backed
securitization programs.
The Company uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage
interest rate and currency exchange exposures. The derivative instruments used
include cross currency and interest rate swap agreements, indexed note swap
agreements and option-based products. The Company does not use any of these
instruments for trading purposes.
Competition and Government Regulations
TMCC's primary competitors for retail leasing and financing are commercial
banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies and
other captive automobile finance companies. Commercial banks and other captive
automobile finance companies also provide wholesale financing for Toyota and
Lexus dealers. Competition for the principal products and services provided
through the insurance operations is primarily from national and regional
independent service contract providers. TMCC's strategy is to supplement, with
competitive financing and insurance programs, the overall commitment of TMS to
offer a complete package of services to authorized Toyota and Lexus dealers and
their customers.
-5--6-
The finance and insurance operations of the Company are regulated under both
federal and state law. A majority of states have enacted legislation
establishing licensing requirements to conduct retail and other finance and
insurance activities. Most states also impose limits on the maximum rate of
finance charges. In certain states, the margin between the present statutory
maximum interest rates and borrowing costs is sufficiently narrow that, in
periods of rapidly increasing or high interest rates, there could be an adverse
effect on the Company's operations in these states if the Company were unable
to pass on increased interest costs to its customers. In addition, state laws
differ as to whether anyone suffering injury to person or property involving a
leased vehicle may bring an action against the owner of the vehicle merely by
virtue of that ownership. To the extent that applicable state law permits such
an action, TMCC may be subject to liability to such an injured party. However,
the laws of most states either do not permit such suits or limit the lessor's
liability to the amount of any liability insurance that the lessee was required
under applicable law to maintain (or, in some states, the lessor was permitted
to maintain), but failed to maintain. TMCC's lease contracts contain
provisions requiring the lessees to maintain levels of insurance satisfying
applicable state law and TMCC maintains certain levels of contingent liability
insurance for protection from catastrophic claims. TMCC currently does not
monitor ongoing insurance compliance in connection with its customary servicing
procedures.
The Company's operations are also subject to regulation under federal and state
consumer protection statutes. The Company continually reviews its operations
for compliance with applicable laws. Future administrative rulings, judicial
decisions and legislation may require modification of the Company's business
practices and documentation.
Employee Relations
At November 30, 1999,2000, the Company had approximately 2,8732,700 full-time employees.
The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

Financial information regarding industry segments is set forth in Note 17 of

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.damages and/or changes in TMCC's business operations, policies and practices.
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
September 30, 19992000 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.

Net income from financing operations decreased 5%38% in fiscal 2000, primarily
due to lower interest margin as a result of higher interest expense, the
recognition of asset impairment losses, higher provision for credit losses, and
higher operating and administrative expenses. The decrease in fiscal 1999

TMCC's net earning assets as of September 30, 19992000 increased from September 30,
19981999 due to growth in retail, finance lease and wholesale earning assets,
partially offset by a decline in operating lease earning assets. The increase
in retail earning assets was primarily due to higher retail contract volume,
partially offset by the sale of $989 million$1.5 billion of retail finance receivables.receivables
during fiscal 2000. Finance lease earning assets increased from September 30,
1999 as fiscal 2000 volume exceeded liquidations. Wholesale earning assets
increased from September 30, 1999 primarily due to an increase in the number of
dealers receiving wholesale financing. The increase in allowance for credit
losses reflects asset growth.
TMCC's net earning assets as of September 30, 1999 increased from September 30,
1998 primarily due to higher dealer inventories. The
decrease in lease earning assets was primarily due to lower lease contract
volume and the sale of $780 million of interests in lease finance receivables.
The decrease in allowance for credit losses reflects improved loss experience
and is deemed adequate to cover expected losses based on current and historical
loss experience, portfolio composition and other factors.
TMCC's net earning assets as of September 30, 1998 increased from September 30,
1997 primarily due to growth in lease, retail and wholesale earning assets, attributable to higher volume, partially
offset by the sale of $1.6 billion of
interestsa decline in lease finance receivables.earning assets.
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. The value of the lease contracts purchased by
the Titling Trust in fiscal 19992000 and 19981999 represented approximately 41%43% and
40%41%, respectively, of all lease contracts purchased by both TMCC and the
Titling Trust. 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 increasing mix of finance
receivables relative to operating lease assets due to the classification
differences described above.
TMS sponsors special lease and retail programs which subsidize reduced monthly
payments on certain Toyota and Lexus new vehicles and Toyota industrial
equipment to qualified lease and retail customers. Support amounts received
from TMS in connection with these programs approximate the balances required by
TMCC to maintain revenues at standard program levels and are earned over the
expected lease and retail installment contract terms. The level of sponsored
program activity varies based on TMS marketing strategies, and revenues earned
vary based on the mix of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, timing of programs and the
level of support provided. TMCC's revenuesSupport amounts earned from TMS sponsored special
lease and retail contracts outstanding totaled $108 million, $126 million $142 million and $174$142 million
for fiscal years 2000, 1999 1998 and 1997,1998, respectively.
TMCC's lease contract volume for the year ended September 30, 19992000 declined
from 1999 reflecting lower levels of programs sponsored by TMS. TMCC's retail
contract volume for the year ended September 30, 2000 increased from 1999
levels due to competitive pricing and the strong sales of Toyota and Lexus
vehicles.
The increase in used vehicle retail contract volume during fiscal 2000 and 1999
reflects a large supply of used vehicles due to the volume of vehicles coming
off-lease as well as a shift from leasing to retail financing.
Lower lease contract volume in 1999 compared to 1998 reflectingwas primarily due to lower
finance penetration due to changes in lease programs and the residual value
setting policy, as well as lower levels of programs sponsored by TMS. TMCC'sHigher
retail contract volume for the year ended September 30,in 1999 increased
fromcompared to 1998 levels despite reduced TMS sponsored programswas primarily due to
competitive pricing and the strong sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
Higher contract volume in 1998 compared to 1997 was primarily due to strong
sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles as well as higher levels of programs
sponsored by TMS.
-12--13-
Net Financing Revenue and Other Revenues
- ----------------------------------------
TMCC's net financing revenues decreased slightlyincreased in fiscal 2000 primarily due to lower
depreciation expenses and higher retail and wholesale revenues, substantially
offset by higher interest expense. The decrease in fiscal 1999 net financing
revenues was primarily due to lower leasing revenues, offset by lower interest
expense and increased retail and wholesale revenues. 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 resulted in increased revenues from finance leases (until such interests in leases were
sold in a securitization transaction) and reduced
operating lease revenues and depreciation on operating leases.
The decrease in fiscal 1998 net financing
revenues reflects increased provision for residual value losses as well as
increased interest expense, partially offset by increased retail and wholesale
revenues.
Insurance premiums earned and contract revenues increased 9%13% and 15%9% in fiscal
19992000 and 1998,1999, respectively, due to higher underwriting revenues associated
with in-force agreements.
The following table summarizes TMCC's investment and other income for the
fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 1998 and 1997:1998:

==== ==== ====
The decreaseincrease in investment and other income from fiscal 1999 to fiscal 2000 is
primarily due to higher investment income, partially offset by lower gains on
assets sold and lower servicing fee income. The increase in investment and
other income from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999 is primarily due to higher
servicing fee income, partially offset by lower gains on assets sold.
The increase in investment income in fiscal 2000 reflects higher market
interest rates and an increase in TMCC's portfolio of marketable securities.
Servicing fee income decreased 13% in fiscal 2000 due to the impairmentreduction in the
average balance of an asset retainedsold interests in lease and retail finance receivables as
well as the temporary waiver of servicing fee income related to the fiscal
1997 sale of interests in lease finance receivables, as well as lower gains on assets
sold, partially offset by higher servicing income. The increase in investment
and other income from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 reflects primarily higher
levels of servicing fee income from accounts included in the Company's asset-
backed securitization programs.receivables. Servicing fee income
increased 50% and 100%
in fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively, due to the growth in the combined balance of
sold interests in lease finance and sold retail receivables.
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. -13-Gains on assets sold
decreased $10 million and $6 million during fiscal years 2000 and 1999,
respectively, primarily due to increases in market interest rates which result
in narrower spreads being retained by the Company.
-14-
TMCC performs a quarterly review of the fair market value of assets retained
in the sale of interests in lease finance receivables. The fair market value
of these retained assets are impacted by management's expectations as to
future losses on vehicle disposition, credit losses and prepayment rates.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company refined its methodology
for forecasting losses on vehicle disposition to better reflect recent and
expected loss experience. TMCC recognized losses due to the permanent
impairment of assets retained in the sale of interests in lease finance
receivables totaling $74 million and $19 million during the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, resulting from an increase in
vehicle disposition loss assumptions related to leases originated prior to
model year 1999 and terminating fiscal years 2000 through 2002.
Depreciation on Leases
- ----------------------
The following table sets forth the items included in TMCC's depreciation on
leases for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 1998 and 1997:1998:

====== ====== ======
Straight-line depreciation expense decreased 8% during fiscal 2000 and 9% for fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively,
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-leaseoff-
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 risk of higher aggregate losses.
Total unguaranteed residual values related to TMCC's vehicle lease portfolio
declinedincreased from approximately $7.6 billion at September 30, 1998 to $6.5 billion at September 30, 1999 reflecting the acquisition of residual value insurance
on an increasing number of leases in connection with the lease securitization
program as well as sales of interests in lease finance receivables.to $7.0
billion at September 30, 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.
-14--15-
The increasedecrease in the provision for residual value losses in fiscal 2000
reflects reduced losses at vehicle disposition, as well as management's
estimate that current reserve levels are considered adequate to cover
expected losses at vehicle disposition as of September 30, 2000. Losses at
vehicle disposition decreased $30 million and $42 million during fiscal 2000
and fiscal 1999, reflects higher off-leaserespectively. The decrease in vehicle return rates anddisposition losses
was primarily due to a larger supplydecrease in the number of vehicles comingscheduled to
terminate resulting from the sale of interests in lease finance receivables
during fiscal 1997 and 1998, partially offset by a higher rate of vehicle
returns. 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 resulting in higher total losses althoughvehicles through the
loss perinternet 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 has declined duringand the same period.residual value applicable to certain
specified optional accessories and optional equipment.
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 50% for
fiscal 2000 as compared to 47% and 40% for fiscal 1999 as compared to
40% and 18% for fiscal 1998,
and 1997, respectively. Losses at vehicle
disposition increased $42 million and $118 million during fiscal 1999 and
fiscal 1998, respectively, although per unit residual value loss rates have
improved for fiscal 1999 as compared with fiscal 1998. 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 and losses 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 20002001 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.
Under an arrangement with TMS, TMCC received Parent support for vehicle disposition
losses in fiscal years 2000 and 1998; no assurance can be provided as to
either the last three quarterslevel of fiscal 1998. During fiscal
1999,support or the Company did not receive any Parentcontinuation of the support for vehicle disposition
losses and there are currently no plans for such supportarrangement in

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 3842 months and 40 months at September 30, 2000 and 1999, and 1998, respectively.
-15-
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense increased 37% in fiscal 2000 compared with fiscal 1999
primarily due to higher average cost of borrowings and an increase in average
debt outstanding. Interest expense decreased 5% in fiscal 1999 compared with fiscal 1998
primarily due toreflecting
lower average cost of borrowings, partially offset by an increase in average
debt outstanding. Interest expense increased 8% in fiscal
1998 reflecting higher average debt outstanding, slightly offset by a decline
in the average cost of borrowings. The weighted average cost of borrowings was 5.34%6.30%, 5.85%5.34% and
5.87%5.85% for the years ended September 30, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Increases in TMCC's interest costs are expected to continue through fiscal 2001
reflecting the increases in market interest rates during fiscal 2000 and 1997,
respectively.1999.
-16-
Operating and Administrative Expenses
- -------------------------------------
Operating and administrative expenses increased 6% and 16% in fiscal 2000 and
25%1999, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2000 reflects expenses associated
with technology-related projects, as well as costs to support TMCC's growing
customer base. The increase in fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively. The increases reflectreflects primarily additional
personnel and operating costs required to support TMCC's growing customer base,
growth in the Company's insurance operations, as well as costs in connection
with technology upgrades and software modifications to address year 2000
issues.
TMCC
anticipates continued growthIncluded in operating and administrative expenses reflecting costs associated with portfolio growthare charges allocated by
TMS for certain technological and technology initiatives.administrative services provided to TMCC.
On October 1, 2000, TMS and TMCC entered into a Shared Services Agreement
covering the services TMS will continue to provide after the ownership of
TMCC was transferred to TFSA. During fiscal 2000, charges reimbursed by TMCC
to TMS totaled $25 million. Net charges to be reimbursed by TMCC to TMS
during the six months ended March 31, 2001 are estimated to range between $22
million and $28 million. The Shared Services Agreement is filed as an
exhibit in Item 14.
A credit support fee agreement expected to be entered into between TMCC and
TFSC provides that TMCC will pay to TFSC a semi-annual fee equal to a
percentage of the outstanding amount of TMCC's Securities entitled to credit
support, as described under Item 1. Credit support fees to be included in
operating and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2001
are estimated to be $6 million.
Operating and administrative expenses are also expected to increase as a
result of the planned restructuring of TMCC's field operations. The branch
offices of TMCC will be converted to serve only dealer business which
includes the purchasing of contracts from dealers, financing inventories,
loans to dealers for business acquisitions, facilities refurbishment, real
estate purchases and working capital requirements, as well as consulting on
finance and insurance operations. The other functions that the branch
offices currently cover, such as customer service, collections, lease
termination and administrative functions, will be handled by three regional
call centers. The new structure is expected to be completed in fiscal 2003.
Restructuring charges to be recognized during the six months ended March 31,
2001 are not expected to exceed $10 million. Additional restructuring
charges are expected through fiscal 2003.
Provision for Credit Losses
- ---------------------------
TMCC's provision for credit losses increased 63% during fiscal 2000 reflecting
growth in earning assets. The provision for credit losses decreased 35% and 7% during
fiscal 1999 and
1998, respectively, reflecting management's estimate that current reserve
levels are adequate based on improved credit loss experience, portfolio composition and
other factors. 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 September 30, 1999.
In2000.
During fiscal 1999,2000, TMCC pilot testedcompleted 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 national roll-outlaunch of
thean expanded tiered pricing program for both retail and lease vehicle contracts is planned for
fiscal 2000.2001. Implementation of thisthese expanded program may result in both increasedprograms is expected to
increase contract yields and increasedas the portfolio matures, increase credit losses
in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires, in the normal course of business, substantial funding to
support the level of its earning assets. 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
securitization programs. Debt issuances have generally been in the form of
commercial paper, extendible commercial notes ("ECNs") and domestic and euro
medium-term notes ("MTNs") and bonds.
On occasion, this funding has been supplemented by loans and equity
contributions from TMS. During FY 1999, TMCC began issuing extendible
commercial notes ("ECNs") which have an initial maturity period of up to ninety
days, subject to an extension for up to a maximum term of three hundred and
ninety days at the option of the Company.
Commercial paper and ECN issuances are used to meet short-term funding needs.
Commercial paper outstanding under TMCC's commercial paper program ranged from
approximately $1.1$1.5 billion to $2.9$4.0 billion during fiscal 1999,2000, with an average
outstanding balance of $1.7$2.7 billion. The outstanding balance of ECNs at
September 30, 19992000 totaled $146$195 million.
For additional liquidity purposes, TMCC maintains syndicated bank credit
facilities with certain banks, which aggregated $2.7$3.0 billion at SeptemberNovember 30,
1999.2000. No loans were outstanding under any of these bank credit facilities
during fiscal 1999.2000. TMCC also maintains,
along with TMS, uncommitted, unsecured lines of
credit with banks totaling $175$125 million. At SeptemberNovember 30, 1999,2000, TMCC had issued
approximately $13$1 million in letters 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 fiscal 1999,2000, TMCC issued approximately
$4.0$4.9 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 September 30,
19992000 ranged from onenine months to eleven years. As of September 30, 1999,2000, TMCC
had total MTNs and bonds outstanding of $16.9$17.5 billion, of which $7.6$7.0 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
November 30, 1999,2000, approximately $0.6$3.3 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 $6.0$4.8 billion was available for issuance under the euro MTN
program as of November 30, 1999.2000. 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. The Company has filed a new shelf registration statement with the
SEC covering debt securities in a principal amount equal to $1.0 billion to be
used for both MTN issuances and underwritten offerings. The Company expects to
increase the amount registered to $4.5 billion prior to effectiveness. In addition, TMCC may issue bonds in the domestic and
international capital markets that are not issued under its MTN programs.
-18-
Additionally, TMCC uses its asset-backed securitization programs to generate
funds for investment in earning assets as described in Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. During the year ended September 30, 1999,
TMCC sold interests in lease finance receivables totaling $780 million. During
fiscal 1999, the number and principal amount of leases purchased by the Toyota
Lease Trust in connection with TMCC's lease securitization program comprised a
significant and increasing percentage of what otherwise would have been TMCC's
lease portfolio. 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. During the
year ended September 30, 1999,2000, TMCC sold retail receivables totaling $989 million$1.5
billion in connection with securities issued under the shelf registration
statement. As of November 30, 1999,2000, $1.5 billion remained available for
issuance under the registration statement.
-19-
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 May 2000, TMCC made 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. In addition, a
portion of the monthly excess cash flows in the transactions are being
retained in these reserve funds to supplement the capital contribution. As a
result of TMCC's actions, the rating organizations affirmed the original
credit ratings for the lease asset-backed securities. TMCC's long term
unsecured ratings were unaffected by these 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 1.13, 1.24 1.25 and 1.311.25 in the years
ended September 30, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997,1998, respectively. 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 during fiscal 2000
was due to several factors including lower interest margin as a result of
higher interest expense, the recognition of asset impairment losses, higher
provision for credit losses and higher operating and administrative expenses.
Cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities have been
used primarily to support earning asset growth. Cash provided by the
liquidation and sale of earning assets, totaling $21.0$23.0 billion and $19.1$21.0
billion during fiscal 19992000 and 1998,1999, respectively, was used to purchase
additional investments in operating leases and finance receivables, totaling
$23.9$28.2 billion and $23.6$23.9 billion during fiscal 19992000 and 1998,1999, respectively.
Investing activities resulted in a net use of cash of $2.9$5.1 billion and
$4.5$3.3 billion in fiscal 19992000 and 1998,1999, respectively, as the purchase of
additional earning assets exceeded cash provided by the liquidation of earning
assets. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.9 billion and
$2.0$2.3 billion in fiscal 19992000 and 1998,1999, and net cash provided by financing
activities totaled $1.1$3.1 billion and $2.5$1.1 billion, during fiscal 19992000 and 1998,1999,
respectively. 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 ECNs, and asset-backed
securitization transactions will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its
future funding requirements.

Year 2000 Date Conversion
- -------------------------
The year 2000 issue concerns the inability of computer systems and related
applications to function properly in the year 2000 and beyond. As a wholly-
owned subsidiary of TMS, TMCC is participating in TMS' comprehensive action
plan to identify and address year 2000 issues. As part of the year 2000
action plan, TMCC is identifying and evaluating potential year 2000 problems
and is implementing changes designed to yield year 2000 compliance in its
information technology systems, including mainframe, distributed and desktop
computer systems, networks and telecommunications (collectively, "IT systems")
and its non-information technology systems, including security and HVAC
systems, automated access readers and other machinery and equipment
(collectively, "embedded systems"). An additional component of the year 2000
action plan involves TMCC's communications with its external business partners
for the purpose of assessing and reducing the risk that TMCC's operations
could be adversely affected by such third parties' noncompliance with year
2000 issues.
Phases
The year 2000 action plan consists of four phases, some of which are being
conducted concurrently:
Inventory and Assessment: During this phase an inventory is taken of all
software and/or hardware components of significant applications or systems.
Software and hardware that is no longer in use or is planned to be replaced
before the year 2000, is identified and removed from the scope of the project.
Once the inventory is completed and verified, a preliminary determination of
whether the software or hardware is likely to have year 2000 date issues is
made either by manual review, vendor inquiry or by use of software tools
designed to search for date impacts. Once the assessment is completed, a
business critical prioritized plan is developed for remediation, testing, and
implementing the remediated hardware or software in the remaining phases.
Remediation: During this phase, software for which TMS or TMCC owns the
source code will be scanned and corrected. In most instances, TMCC will use
the "windowing" approach to fix source code which uses program logic to
correct year 2000 date issues. In some cases, it will be necessary to expand
the year field from two to four digits where the year 2000 date issue can not
be solved with the "windowing" method. Software for which TMS or TMCC does
not own the source code will be remediated by obtaining the year 2000 ready
version of the software from the vendor. For hardware and operating system
software, the year 2000 ready component will also be obtained from the vendor.
Testing: The testing phase focuses mainly on remediated hardware and software
that supports business critical functions. Test plans and test cases are
expected to be developed and performed for each application. For software
modified by TMCC, tests will be designed to demonstrate that application
functionality has not changed as a result of the remediation.
Implementation: During this phase, the remediated hardware and software
components will be implemented in the production environment. At this time,
policies and procedures will be implemented to ensure that additional
modifications to remediated and tested hardware and/or software are year 2000
compliant.
-20-
State of Readiness
The Company has identified the following six areas for specific review and
remediation in connection with its year 2000 compliance efforts:
Critical Business Systems Applications: Includes distributed and mainframe
applications used in operations such as retail and lease financing, customer
account processing, collections, insurance operations and accounting systems.
TMCC has completed the inventory and remediation of these systems. All
business critical applications have been tested and implemented back into
production.
Desktop Systems: Includes commercial off-the-shelf software as well as custom
developed applications. TMCC has completed the inventory and assessment of
these systems and related software applications. Remediation and testing of
business critical custom developed systems is completed. Replacement of non-
compliant off-the-shelf software applications is expected by the end of fourth
quarter of calendar year 1999.
Technical Infrastructure: Includes mainframe, distributed and PC systems,
networks, and telecommunications. TMCC has completed the inventory and
assessment phases of its technical infrastructure. Testing and implementation
of business critical components has been completed.
Embedded Systems: Includes non-information technology systems described
above. TMCC has completed the inventory, assessment and implementation phases
for embedded systems at its owned facilities. With respect to embedded
systems located at facilities leased by TMCC, TMCC has completed the
assessment phase of contacting the property managers and/or owners regarding
the year 2000 status of the facilities. TMCC is establishing contingency
plans for coping with problems that may arise from embedded systems in leased
facilities that are not year 2000 compliant.
External Compliance: Includes financial institutions, dealers, suppliers,
trustees, underwriters and affiliates ("business partners"). Critical
business partners have been identified and prioritized. Letters and surveys
have been sent to business partners to assess the risk associated with those
business partners' failure to remediate their own year 2000 issues. TMCC has
completed the assessment phase of critical business partners. Testing of
business critical systems with external business partners will continue
through the end of calendar year 1999.
Non-Critical Systems: Includes systems and applications from the above-listed
areas which have been prioritized as non-critical. Such systems and
applications are being reviewed on an ongoing basis and will continue to be
assessed for year 2000 compliance through the end of calendar year 1999.
-21-
TMS has contacted its affiliates and others involved in the manufacture of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles and equipment to determine the status of year 2000
product compliance, and based on information received to date, TMCC is not
aware of any year 2000 problems that would affect the operational safety of
these products.
Year 2000 Costs
Costs associated with the year 2000 systems and software modifications are
generally expensed as incurred. TMS is allocating a portion of its year 2000
costs to TMCC. TMCC's total costs incurred through fiscal year 1999 were $16.5
million. TMCC's total costs (including allocated costs from TMS) for the year
2000 issue are estimated not to exceed $20 million. The costs to be incurred
by TMCC in connection with its year 2000 compliance efforts are not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or capital resources. As a result of the application of resources
to year 2000 compliance efforts, certain information technology projects
previously scheduled to be initiated or implemented in fiscal 1999 were
deferred. Such deferral is not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Year 2000 Risks
The most reasonably likely worst case scenario with respect to the year 2000
issue is the failure of a business partner, particularly another financial
institution, to be year 2000 compliant. Although TMCC does not currently
anticipate that it will experience significant business disruptions as a
result of year 2000 problems, there remains uncertainty in this area. The
failure to achieve year 2000 compliance by energy and water utilities,
governmental agencies or other private or public suppliers of general
infrastructure could present substantial difficulties to TMCC's business
operations in the affected geographic areas. The inability of TMCC, its
external business partners or the public and private suppliers of general
infrastructure to identify and timely resolve year 2000 problems could result
in a significant adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial
results, including an inability to collect receivables, pay obligations,
process new business, raise capital and occupy facilities.
Year 2000 Contingency Plan
The Company is currently developing a contingency plan to address problems
resulting from year 2000 noncompliance. TMCC's contingency planning focuses
on identifying systems of TMCC and its business partners that TMCC believes
will be the most likely to experience year 2000 problems. The contingency
plan includes arrangements with back-up vendors, suppliers and other resources
to permit operations to be conducted temporarily on a manual basis. TMCC's
contingency plan is substantially completed, although revisions will be made
on an ongoing basis through the end of the calendar year as circumstances
change and additional information becomes available.
-22-
Euro Conversion
- ---------------
On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European
Union (the "participating countries") established fixed conversion rates
between their existing sovereign currencies (the "legacy currencies") and the
euro. The participating countries agreed to adopt the euro as their common
legal currency on the date that the euro began trading on currency exchanges
and was available for non-cash transactions. The legacy currencies are
scheduled to remain legal tender in the participating countries as
denominations of the euro until January 1, 2002 (the "transition period").
During the transition period, public and private parties may pay for goods
and services using either the euro or the participating country's legacy
currency. Beginning January 1, 2002, the participating countries will issue
new euro-
denominatedeuro-denominated bills and coins for use in cash transactions and legacy
currencies will be withdrawn from circulation, signifying the completion of
the euro conversion process.
As TMCC does not currently support Toyota finance operations in Europe, the
impact of the euro conversion is limited to issues in connection with raising
funds in the European capital markets. TMCC generally hedges all foreign
exchange exposure associated with its funding activities which limits its
exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. In addition, payments in
foreign currencies owed by TMCC are made by its counterparties under
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") master
agreements governing swap transactions. Accordingly, TMCC did not need to
make any material changes to its systems to accommodate these types of
payments. TMCC has provided changes to its standard settlement instructions
to the extent necessary to reflect changes in account information and payment
instructions occurring as a result of the introduction of the euro. TMCC
does not believe that it will experience significant issues relating to the
continuity of TMCC's contracts arising from the introduction of the euro.
The ISDA Master Agreements entered into by TMCC are generally governed by New
York law. New York has adopted legislation which prevents a party to a
contract from unilaterally breaking or changing its contractual obligations
as a result of the euro conversion. In addition, TMCC is a party to the EMU
Protocol published by ISDA designed to clarify the effects of certain issues
surrounding the introduction of the euro including continuity of contracts,
price source changes, payment netting and certain definitions.
The introduction of the euro has not had a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial results. The Company plans to continue to
consider the euro in future funding strategies and will continue to fund in
all markets which are cost-effective.

growth in operating and administrative expenses reflecting costs associated
with portfolio growthtechnology initiatives and technology initiatives;operating and administrative services provided
by TMS, credit support fees and the restructuring of TMCC's field operations;
that the implementation of the expanded tiered pricing programprograms may result in
increased contract yields and as the portfolio matures, increased credit
losses in connection with purchases of higher risk contracts; that TMCC expects
the large supply of vehicles coming off-lease to continue through fiscal 20002001
and that the full term return ratio and losses will remain at or near current
levels; that allowances for credit losses are considered adequate to cover

continuity of TMCC's contracts arising from the introduction of the euro; that
the Company does not currently anticipate non-performance by any of its
counterparties; that TMCC
believes that the new methodology will result in a more accurate measurement
of the interest rate risk in the portfolio.
-24-
The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by 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; increases in market interest rates; the monetary
policies exercised by the European Central Bank and other monetary authorities; unanticipated problems or delays in the
completion by the Company of its year 2000 action plan; failure of TMCC's
business partners to timely resolve their year 2000 issues ; the failure of the
Company to develop and implement an adequate contingency plan relating to year
2000 issues;
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.

New Accounting Standards
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This SOP provides guidance
on accounting for certain costs in connection with obtaining or developing
computer software for internal use and requires that entities capitalize such
costs once certain criteria are met. The Company adopted SOP 98-1 as of
October 1, 1998. The effect on the Company's financial statements was not
material.
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.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133", which amends the accounting and reporting standards of
Statement No. 133. The Company adopted SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 on
October 1, 2000. The adoption of these new accounting standards will
result in cumulative after-tax reductions in net income of approximately
$2 million. The adoption will also impact assets and liabilities
recorded on the balance sheet.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This
statement replaces SFAS No. 125 and revises the standards for accounting for
securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral. SFAS
No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement
is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for
disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal
years ending after December 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.
-25--23-
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
TMCC usesutilizes a variety of interest rate and currency derivative financial
instruments to manage interest rate and currency exchange exposures. The
derivative instruments used include cross currency and interest rate swaps,
indexed note swaps and option-based products. TMCC does not use any of these
instruments for trading purposes. The total notional amounts of TMCC's
derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2000 and 1999 and 1998 were
$26.0$32.0 billion and $23.4$26.0 billion, respectively. The notional amounts of
interest rate and indexed note swap agreements and option-based products do not
represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the
Company's exposure through its use of derivatives. The only market rate risk
related to TMCC's portfolio is interest rate risk as foreign currency risks are
entirely hedged through cross currency interest rate swap agreements.
TMCC usesutilizes interest rate swap agreements in managing its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate swap agreements are executed as an
integral part of specific debt transactions or on a portfolio basis. TMCC's
interest rate swap agreements involve agreements to pay fixed and receive a
floating rate, or receive fixed and pay a floating rate, at specified
intervals, calculated on an agreed-upon notional amount. Interest rate swap
agreements may also involve basis swap contracts which are agreements to
exchange the difference between certain floating interest amounts, such as the
net payment based on the commercial paper rate and the London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR"), calculated on an agreed-upon notional amount.
TMCC also usesutilizes option-based products in managing its exposure to interest
rate fluctuations. Option-based products are executed on a portfolio basis and
consist primarily of purchased interest rate cap agreements and, to a lesser
extent, corridor agreements. Option-based products are agreements which either
grant TMCC the right to receive, or require TMCC to make payments at, specified
interest rate levels.
TMCC usesutilizes indexed note swap agreements in managing its exposure in
connection with debt instruments whose interest rate and/or principal
redemption amounts are derived from other underlying instruments. Indexed note
swap agreements involve agreements to receive interest and/or principal amounts
associated with the indexed notes, denominated in either U.S. dollars or a
foreign currency, and to pay fixed or floating rates on fixed U.S. dollar
liabilities.
TMCC usesutilizes cross currency interest rate swap agreements to entirely hedge
exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on principal and interest payments for
borrowings denominated in foreign currencies. Notes and loans payable issued
in foreign currencies are hedged by concurrently executed cross currency
interest rate swap agreements which involve the exchange of foreign currency
principal and interest obligations for U.S. dollar obligations at agreed-upon
currency exchange and interest rates.
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
risk is managed through the use of credit standard guidelines, counterparty
diversification, monitoring of counterparty financial condition and master
netting agreements in place with all derivative counterparties. Credit exposure
of derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair value of
contracts with a positive fair value at September 30, 19992000 reduced by the
effects of master netting agreements. The credit exposure of TMCC's derivative
financial instruments at September 30, 19992000 was $88$95 million on an aggregate
notional amount of $26.0$32.0 billion. Additionally, at September 30, 1999,2000,
approximately 89% 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 currently anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties and
has no reserves related to non-performance as of September 30, 1999;2000; TMCC has
not experienced any counterparty default during the three years ended
September 30, 1999.
-26-2000.
-24-
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
September 30, 1999, 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 .29%, from 5.44% to an
estimated 5.73%. 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 .49%,
from 5.44% to an estimated 4.95% at September 30, 1999. TMCC's interest rate
exposure primarily results from changes in U.S. commercial paper rates and U.S.
LIBOR.
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 in fair
value 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 and equipment financing as these amounts are not
significant.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, TMCC changed itssignificant to TMCC's total portfolio.
The value-at-risk methodology. The new methodology makes no assumptions about the distribution
of interest rates; instead it relies on actual interest rate data. Fouruses five years of historical interest rate
data is used 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.
The previous
method used two years of historical interest rate volatilities, simulated only
100 potential future yield curves using a stratified random sampling
methodology and assumed that changes in interest rates are lognormally
distributed. Since the new model makes no assumptions about the distribution
of interest rates but instead uses the actual historical distribution of
interest rates along with an increased number of simulations, TMCC believes
that the new methodology will result in a more accurate measurement of the
interest rate risk in the portfolio.
-27-

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. The increase in the mean portfolio value and
value-at-risk levels from fiscal 1998 was1999 primarily due to thereflects an increase in interest rate volatility.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Nature of Operations
- -----------------------------
Toyota Motor Credit Corporation ("TMCC") provides retail and wholesale
financing, retail leasing and certain other financial services to authorized
Toyota and Lexus vehicle and Toyota industrial equipment dealers and their
customers in the United States (excluding Hawaii) and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico. As of September 30, 2000, TMCC iswas a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. ("TMS" or the "Parent"). TMS is primarily
engaged in the wholesale distribution of automobiles, trucks, industrial
equipment and related replacement parts and accessories throughout the United
States (excluding Hawaii). Substantially all of TMS's products are purchased
from Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC") or its affiliates.
TMCC has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc.
("TMIS"), Toyota Motor Credit Receivables Corporation ("TMCRC"), Toyota
Leasing, Inc. ("TLI") and Toyota Credit de Puerto Rico Corporation ("TCPR").
TMCC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the
"Company". Effective July 1, 1998, Toyota Motor Insurance Company, Toyota
Motor Insurance Corporation of Vermont and Toyota Motor Life Insurance Company
which had been wholly-owned subsidiaries of TMCC became wholly-owned
subsidiaries of TMIS. The insurance subsidiaries provideTMIS provides certain insurance services along with certain
insurance and contractual coverages in connection with the sale and lease of
vehicles. In addition, the insurance subsidiaries insure and reinsure certain
TMS and TMCC risks. TMCRC, a limited purpose subsidiary, operates primarily to
acquire retail finance receivables from TMCC for the purpose of securitizing
such receivables. TLI, a limited purpose subsidiary, operates primarily to
acquire lease finance receivables from TMCC for the purpose of securitizing
such leases. TCPR provides retail and wholesale financing and certain other
financial services to authorized Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers and their
customers in Puerto Rico.
Toyota Credit Argentina S.A. ("TCA") was incorporated in September 1998 and
commenced business operations in December 1998. TCA provides retail and wholesale financing to
authorized Toyota vehicle dealers and their customers in Argentina. TCA is owned 85% by TMC and 15% by TMCC. As of September 30,
1999TMCC owns
a 33% interest in TCA. TMCC's investment in TCA totaled $2 million and is accounted for using the
costequity method. Banco Toyota do Brasil ("BTB") was incorporated in January 1999 and commenced
business operations in June 1999. BTB provides retail and lease
financing to authorized Toyota vehicle dealers and their customers in Brazil.
BTB is owned 85% by TMC and 15% by TMCC. As of September 30, 1999 TMCC's investment in BTB
totaled $4 million and is accounted for using the
cost method. The remaining interests in TCA and BTB are owned by TMC, the
ultimate parent of TMCC.
The Company's earnings are primarily impacted by the level of average earning
assets, comprised primarily of investments in finance receivables and operating
leases, and asset yields as well as outstanding borrowings and the cost of
funds. The Company's business is substantially dependent upon the sale of
Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. Changes in the volume of sales
of such vehicles resulting from governmental action, changes in consumer
demand, changes in pricing of imported units due to currency fluctuations, or
other events could impact the level of finance and insurance operations of the
Company.

TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ---------------------------------------------------
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TMCC and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of money market instruments and debt
securities, represent highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less.
Investments in Marketable Securities
------------------------------------
Investments in marketable securities consist of debt and equity securities.
Debt securities designated as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost
and are reduced to net realizable value for other than temporary declines in
market value. Debt and equity securities designated as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated
other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Realized investment gains
and losses, which are determined on the specific identification method, are
reflected in income.
Investments in Operating Leases
-------------------------------
Investments in operating leases are recorded at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis, over the lease terms to the estimated residual value.
Revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms.
Finance Receivables
-------------------
Finance receivables are recorded at the present value of the related future
cash flows.flows including residual values for finance leases. Revenue associated
with finance receivables is recognized on a level-yield basis over the contract
terms.
-36--33-
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------
Allowance for Credit Losses
---------------------------
Allowances for credit losses are evaluated periodically, considering historical
loss experience and other factors, and are maintained in amounts considered by
management to be appropriate in relation to receivables outstanding and
expected future loss experience. Losses are charged to the allowance for
credit losses when it has been determined that collateral cannot be recovered
and any shortfall between proceeds received and the carrying cost of
repossessed collateral is charged to the allowance. Recoveries are credited to
the allowance for credit losses.
Allowance for Residual Value Losses
-----------------------------------
Allowances for estimated losses on lease vehicles returned to TMCC for
disposition at lease termination are established based upon projected vehicle
return rates and projected residual value losses derived from historical and
market information as well as general economic factors. The provision for
residual value losses is included in lease depreciation expense.
Deferred Charges
----------------
Deferred charges consist primarily of premiums paid for option-based products,
underwriters' commissions and other debt issuance costs which are amortized to
interest expense over the life of the related instruments on a straight-line
basis, which is not materially different from the effective interest method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
--------------------------------
TMCC uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage funding costs
and risks associated with changes in interest and foreign currency exchange
rates. The derivative instruments used include interest rate, cross currency
interest rate and indexed note swap agreements and option-based products. TMCC
does not use any of these instruments for trading purposes. The derivative
financial instruments are specifically designated to the underlying debt
obligations or to portfolio level risks. Cash flows related to these
instruments are classified in the same categories as cash flows from related
borrowing activities.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
-----------------------------
Interest rate swap agreements are executed as an integral part of specific debt
transactions or on a portfolio basis. The differential paid or received on
interest rate swap agreements is recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment
to interest expense over the term of the agreements.
Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap Agreements
--------------------------------------------
Cross currency interest rate swap agreements are executed as an integral part
of foreign currency debt transactions. The differential between the contract
rates and the foreign currency spot exchange rates as of the reporting dates is
classified in other receivables or accounts payable and accrued expenses; the
differential paid or received on the interest rate swap portion of the
agreements is recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense
over the term of the agreements.
-37--34-
TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
- ---------------------------------------------------
Indexed Note Swap Agreements
----------------------------
Indexed note swap agreements are executed as an integral part of indexed note
transactions. Any differential between contract rates and foreign currency
spot exchange rates as of the reporting dates is classified in other
receivables or accounts payable and accrued expenses; the interest differential
paid or received on indexed note swap agreements is recorded on an accrual
basis as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the agreements.
Option-Based Products
---------------------
Option-based products are executed on a portfolio basis. Premiums paid for
option-based products are included in deferred charges and are amortized to
interest expense over the life of the instruments on a straight-line basis.
Amounts receivable under option-based products are recorded on an accrual basis
as a reduction to interest expense.
Insurance Operations
--------------------
Revenues from insurance premiums and from providing coverage under various contractual agreements are
recognized over the term of the agreement in relation to the timing and level
of anticipated expenses. Revenues from insurance premiums are earned over the
terms of the respective policies and
agreements in proportion to estimated claims activity.
Certain costs of acquiring new business, consisting primarily of commissions
and premium taxes, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related
policies on the same basis as revenues are earned. The liability for reported
losses and the estimate of unreported losses are recorded in accounts payable
and accrued expenses. CommissionCommissions and fee incomefees from services provided are
recognized in relation to the timing and level of services performed.
Income Taxes
------------
TMCC uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax
rates and laws in the period such changes are enacted resulting in adjustments
to the current period's provision for income taxes.
The Company joins with TMS in filing consolidated federal income tax returns
and combined or consolidated income tax returns in certain states. Federal and
state income tax expense is generally recognized as if the Company filed its
tax returns on a stand alone basis. In those states where TMCC joins in the
filing of consolidated or combined income tax returns, TMCC is allocated its
share of the total income tax expense based on the Company's income or loss
which would be allocable to such states if the Company filed separate returns.
Based on an informal tax sharing agreement with TMS and other members of the
TMS group, the Company pays TMS for its share of the consolidated federal and
consolidated or combined state income tax expense and is reimbursed for the
benefit of any of its tax basis losses utilized in the consolidated federal and
consolidated or combined state income tax returns.

- ---------------------------------------------------
Asset-Backed Securitization Transactions
----------------------------------------
TMCC periodically sells retail receivables and interests in lease finance
receivables through limited purpose subsidiaries TMCRC and TLI, respectively.
TMCC retains servicing rights for sold assets and receives a servicing fee
which is recognized over the remaining term of the related sold retail
receivables or interests in lease finance receivables. TMCRC and TLI retain
subordinated interests in the excess cash flows of these transactions, certain
cash deposits and other related amounts which are held as restricted assets
subject to limited recourse provisions. The Company's retained interests in
such receivables are included in investments in marketable securities and are
classified as available for sale.
Pre-tax gains on sold retail receivables and interests in lease finance
receivables are recognized in the period in which the sale occurs and are
included in other income. In determining such gains, the investment in the
sold
retail receivablereceivables and interests in lease finance receivable pool isreceivables are allocated
between the portion sold and the portion retained based on their relative fair
values on the date sold.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." This SOP provides guidance
on accounting for certain costs in connection with obtaining or developing
computer software for internal use and requires that entities capitalize such
costs once certain criteria are met. The Company adopted SOP 98-1 as of
October 1, 1998. The effect on the Company's financial statements was not
material.
In June 1998, the FASBFinancial 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.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No.
133", which amends the accounting and reporting standards of
Statement No. 133. The Company adopted SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 on
October 1, 2000. The adoption of these new accounting standards will
result in cumulative after-tax reductions in net income of approximately
$2 million. The adoption will also impact assets and liabilities
recorded on the balance sheet.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This
statement replaces SFAS No. 125 and revises the standards for accounting for
securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral. SFAS
No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This statement
is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for
disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2000. The Company has not determined the
impact that adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates market value due
to the short maturity of these investments.
Investments in Marketable Securities
------------------------------------
The fair value of marketable securities was estimated using quoted market
prices or discounted cash flow analysis.
Retail Finance Receivables

The carrying amounts of $1.1$2.1 billion and 1.0$1.1 billion of variable rate finance
receivables at September 30, 2000 and 1999, and 1998,respectably,respectively, were assumed to
approximate fair value as these receivables reprice at prevailing market rates.
The fair value of fixed rate finance receivables was estimated by discounting
expected cash flows using the rates at which loans of similar credit quality
and maturity would be originated as of September 30, 19992000 and 1998.

Interest Rate Risk Management
- -----------------------------
TMCC utilizes interest rate swap agreements in managing its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate swap agreements are executed as an
integral part of specific debt transactions or on a portfolio basis. TMCC's
interest rate swap agreements involve agreements to pay fixed and receive a
floating rate, or receive fixed and pay a floating rate, at specified
intervals, calculated on an agreed-upon notional amount. Interest rate swap
agreements may also involve basis swap contracts which are agreements to
exchange the difference between certain floating interest amounts, such as the
net payment based on the commercial paper rate and the London Interbank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR"), calculated on an agreed-upon notional amount. The original
maturities of interest rate swap agreements ranged from one to fiveten years at
September 30, 1999.2000.
TMCC also utilizes option-based products in managing its exposure to interest
rate fluctuations. Option-based products are executed on a portfolio basis and
consist primarily of purchased interest rate cap agreements and to a lesser
extent corridor agreements. Option-based products are agreements which either
grant TMCC the right to receive or require TMCC to make payments at specified
interest rate levels. Approximately 41%62% of TMCC's other senior debt at
September 30, 19992000 had floating interest rates that were covered by option-
based products which had an average strike rate of 5.83%6.45%. The premiums paid
for option-based products are included in deferred charges and are amortized to
interest expense over the life of the instruments on a straight-line basis.
Amounts receivable under option-based products are recorded as a reduction to
interest expense. The original maturities of option-based products ranged from
one to four years at September 30, 1999.2000.
The aggregate notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements and option-
based products outstanding at September 30, 19992000 and 19981999 were as follows:

Interest Rate Risk Management (Continued)
- -----------------------------
TMCC utilizes indexed note swap agreements in managing its exposure in
connection with debt instruments whose interest rate and/or principal
redemption amounts are derived from other underlying instruments. Indexed note
swap agreements involve agreements to receive interest and/or principal amounts
associated with the indexed notes, denominated in either U.S. dollars or a
foreign currency, and to pay fixed or floating rates on fixed U.S. dollar
liabilities. At September 30, 2000, TMCC was the counterparty to $1.4 billion
of indexed note swap agreements, of which $0.4 billion was denominated in
foreign currencies and $1.0 billion was denominated in U.S. dollars. At
September 30, 1999, TMCC was the counterparty to $1.3 billion of indexed note
swap agreements, of which $0.4 billion was denominated in foreign currencies
and $0.9 billion was denominated in U.S. dollars. At
September 30, 1998, TMCC was the counterparty to $0.8 billion of indexed note
swap agreements, of which $0.3 billion was denominated in foreign currencies
and $0.5 billion was denominated in U.S. dollars. The original maturities of
indexed note swap agreements ranged from onetwo to ten years at September 30,
1999.2000.
The notional amounts of interest rate and indexed note swap agreements and
option-based products do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and,
thus, are not a measure of the Company's exposure through its use of
derivatives. The amounts exchanged are calculated based on the notional
amounts and other terms of the derivatives which relate to interest rates or
financial or other indexes.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
- --------------------------------
TMCC utilizes cross currency interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure
to exchange rate fluctuations on principal and interest payments for borrowings
denominated in foreign currencies. Notes and loans payable issued in foreign
currencies are hedged by concurrently executed cross currency interest rate
swap agreements which involve the exchange of foreign currency principal and
interest obligations for U.S. dollar obligations at agreed-upon currency
exchange and interest rates. The aggregate notional amounts of cross currency
interest rate swap agreements at September 30, 2000 and 1999 and 1998 were $8.8$8.4 billion
and $9.0$8.8 billion, respectively. The original maturities of cross currency
interest rate swap agreements ranged from onetwo to tennine years at September 30,
1999.

Credit Risk Management
- ----------------------
TMCC manages the risk of counterparty default through the use of credit
standard guidelines, counterparty diversification and monitoring of
counterparty financial condition. At September 30, 1999,2000, approximately 89% 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 and has no reserves related to non-
performance as of September 30, 1999;2000; TMCC has not experienced any counterparty
default during the three years ended September 30, 1999.2000. Additionally, TMCC's
loss in the event of counterparty default is partially mitigated as a result of
master netting agreements in place with all derivative counterparties which
allow the net difference between TMCC and each counterparty to be exchanged in
the event of default.
Credit exposure of derivative financial instruments is represented by the fair
value of contracts with a positive fair value at September 30, 19992000 reduced by
the effects of master netting agreements. The credit exposure of TMCC's
derivative financial instruments at September 30, 19992000 was $88$95 million on an
aggregate notional amount of $26$32 billion.
Note 11 - Pension and Other Benefit Plans
- -----------------------------------------
All full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the TMS
pension plan commencing on the first day of the month following hire. Benefits
payable under this non-contributory defined benefit pension plan are based upon
the employees' years of credited service and the highest sixty consecutive
months' compensation, reduced by a percentage of social security benefits. The
Company's pension expense was $5 million, $6 million for the year ended September 30, 1999, and $4 million for each of the
years ended September 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998, and 1997.respectively. At
September 30, 2000, 1999 1998 and 1997,1998, the accumulated benefit obligation and plan
net assets for employees of the Company were not determined separately from
TMS; however, the plan's net assets available for benefits exceeded the
accumulated benefit obligation. TMS funding policy is to contribute annually
the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

the TMC Credit Support Agreement, TMC agreed to: 1) maintain 100% ownership of
TFSC; 2) cause TFSC and its subsidiaries to have a net worth of at least

$500,000 $150,000 $200,000 $250,000
All full-time employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the TMS
Pension Plan commencing on the first day of the month following hire. Benefits
payable under this non-contributory defined benefit pension plan are based upon
final average compensation, final average bonus and years of credited service.
Final average compensation is defined as the average of the participant's base
rate of pay, plus overtime, during the highest-paid 60 consecutive months prior
to the earlier of termination or normal retirement. Final average bonus is
defined as the highest average of the participant's fiscal year bonus, and
basic seniority-based cash bonus for non-managerial personnel, over a period of
60 consecutive months prior to the earlier of termination or normal retirement.
A participant generally becomes eligible for the normal retirement benefit at
age 62, and may be eligible for early retirement benefits starting at age 55.
The annual normal retirement benefit under the Pension Plan, payable monthly,
is an amount equal to the number of years of credited service (up to 25 years)
multiplied by the sum of (i) 2% of the participant's final average compensation
less 2% of the estimated annual Social Security benefit payable to the
participant at normal retirement and (ii) 1% of the participant's final average
bonus. The normal retirement benefit is subject to reduction for certain
benefits under any union-sponsored retirement plan and benefits attributable to
employer contributions under any defined-contribution retirement plan
maintained by TMS and its subsidiaries or any affiliate that has been merged
into the TMS Pension Plan.
-66--64-
The TMS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (TMS SERP), a non-qualified non-
contributing benefit plan, authorizes a benefit to be paid to eligible
executives, including Mr. Borst and Mr. Deaderick. Benefits under the TMS
SERP, expressed as an annuity payable monthly, are based on 2% of the
executive's compensation recognized under the plan multiplied by the years of
service credited under the plan (up to a maximum of 30), offset by benefits
payable under the TMS Pension Plan and the executive's primary Social Security
benefit. A covered participant's compensation may include base pay and a
percentage (not in excess of 100%) of bonus pay, depending on the executive's
length of service in certain executive positions. Similarly, years of service
credited under the plan are determined by reference, in part, to the
executive's length of service in certain executive positions. No benefit is
payable under the TMS SERP to an executive unless the executive's termination
of employment occurs on a date, after the executive reaches age 55, that is
agreed in writing by the President of TMS and the executive; and the executive
is vested in benefits under the TMS Pension Plan, or unless the executive
accepts an invitation to retire extended by the President of TMS.
Mr. Borst is a participant in the TMS Pension Plan and the TMS SERP, and had
1415 years of total credited service as of September 30, 1999.2000. Based upon years
of credited service allocable to TMCC, Mr. Borst may be entitled to receive
approximately $22,000$36,000 in annual pension plan benefits when Mr. Borst reaches
age 62. Mr. Borst also may be entitled to receive pension benefits from TMS
based upon services to and compensation by TMS.
Mr. Deaderick is a participant in the TMS Pension Plan and the TMS SERP, and
had 2526 years of total credited service as of September 30, 1999.2000. Based upon
years of credited service allocable to TMCC, Mr. Deaderick may be entitled to
receive approximately $74,000$93,000 in annual pension plan benefits when Mr.
Deaderick reaches age 62. Mr. Deaderick also may be entitled to receive
pension benefits from TMS based upon services to and compensation by TMS.
