Segment Reporting
This Current Report on Form 8-K discloses additional information about the operating segments of Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (“CFSC”) following management’s decision effective January 1, 2006, to reclass $232 million of assets, primarily finance receivables, from the North America segment to the Cat Power Finance segment in the amount of $216 million and the Diversified Services segment in the amount of $16 million in order to maintain alignment with management responsibility. This resulted in a reclassification of assets and the revenue related to those assets for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003. This reclassification does not change CFSC’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations for any period presented.
 
  The reclassification had no impact to the wording or amounts in CFSC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations with respect to each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 (the “MD&A”) and the related Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of CFSC (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), except for the reclassification of assets and the revenue related to those assets from the North America to Diversified Services and Cat Power Finance segments in Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Current Report also includes the report on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Except as noted above, the Consolidated Financial Statements remain unchanged from the Consolidated Financial Statements that were filed in CFSC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
