Item 5.	Other Events.
	JDCC's net income was $57.2 million for the fourth quarter and $230.6 million for the year, compared with $41.9 million and $157.8 million, respectively, last year. The increase in net income for the quarter was primarily due to higher income on dealer receivables. The increase in net income for the year was mainly due to higher income on dealer receivables, increased gains on retail-note sales and improved interest-rate spreads, partially offset by a higher provision for bad debts and losses related to the peso devaluation in Argentina.
	Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $11.240 billion at October 31, 2002, compared with $11.790 billion one year ago. The decrease resulted from retail-note sales during the last twelve months. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $13.773 billion at October 31, 2002, compared with $13.242 billion at October 31, 2001.
