Item 5. Other Information Events.

JDCC'ss net income was $41.9 million for the fourth quarter and $157.8 million for the year, compared with $31.7 million and $140.8 million, respectively, last year. The results for this year benefited primarily from higher volumes and improved spreads, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses.

Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $11.790 billion at October 31, 2001, compared with $8.515 billion at October 31, 2000. This increase was due in part to the previously announced program under which Deere & Company's equipment operations began to sell their trade receivables to Deere Capital, Inc. (DCI) a wholly-owned subsidiary of JDCC. Under this program, DCI acquired $2.2 billion of trade receivables at October 29, 2001. The remaining increase resulted from other acquisitions exceeding collections during the last twelve months, partially offset by sales of retail notes during the same period. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $13.242 billion at October 31, 2001, compared with $10.498 billion at October 31, 2000.
