SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES

SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES

(9)  Securitization of Financing Receivables

As a part of its overall funding strategy, the Company periodically transfers certain financing receivables (retail notes) into VIEs that are special purpose entities (SPEs), or non-VIE banking operations, as part of its asset-backed securities programs (securitizations). The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes does not meet the accounting criteria for sales of receivables, and is, therefore, accounted for as a secured borrowing. SPEs utilized in securitizations of retail notes differ from other entities included in the Company’s consolidated statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated. Use of the assets held by the SPEs or the non-VIEs is restricted by terms of the documents governing the securitization transactions.

The components of consolidated restricted assets, secured borrowings, and other liabilities related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows in millions of dollars:
