Item 5.	Other Events.
	JDCC's net income was $79.8 million for the third quarter and $209.6 million for the first nine months of 2003, compared with $58.9 million and $173.4 million, respectively, last year. The increase in quarterly net income was primarily due to higher gains resulting from an increased volume of retail note sales and growth in the portfolio. The year-to-date increase was primarily due to lower loan losses, growth in the portfolio and the absence of losses from Argentina, partially offset by lower gains on the sales of retail notes and narrower financing spreads.
	Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $11.971 billion at July 31, 2003, compared with $10.747 billion one year ago. The increase resulted from acquisitions exceeding collections during the last twelve months partially offset by sales of retail notes. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $14.750 billion at July 31, 2003 compared with $13.576 billion one year ago.
