NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Interim Financial Data

The information furnished in these unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2006 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, significant accounting policies, and other notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Toyota Motor Credit Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K. References herein to “TMCC” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation, and references herein to “we”, “our” and “us” denote Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
New Accounting Standards

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that we recognize in our financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 will be effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006, or with respect to our fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 and are unable to estimate its impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, or with respect to our fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FAS 157 and are unable to estimate its impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the financial statements are materially misstated. SAB 108 is effective for annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, or with respect to our fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. The implementation of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Our notes and loans payable and carrying value adjustment at September 30, 2006 include $8.9 billion in variable rate debt with indexed contractual interest rates ranging from 0.0 percent to 7.9 percent and $30.9 billion in fixed rate debt with contractual interest rates ranging from 0.6 percent to 15.3 percent.

Included in debt is commercial paper with an average remaining maturity of 51 days at September 30, 2006. Notes and loans payable mature on various dates through fiscal 2036.

The syndicated bank credit facilities do not contain any material adverse change clauses or additional restrictive financial covenants that would limit each of TMCC’s and TCPR’s ability to borrow under its respective facilities.

2 Includes $72 million and $75 million in facilities lease commitments with affiliates at September 30 and March 31, 2006,
respectively.

As of September 30, 2006 there have been no material changes to our commitments as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, except as described below.

Commitments

Of the total credit facilities available to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers, $2.6 billion and $2.4 billion were outstanding at September 30 and March 31, 2006, respectively. The amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit with Toyota de Puerto Rico Corp., a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. Inc., at September 30 and March 31, 2006 was $47 million. The amount drawn by Toyota Financial Services Americas Corporation (“TFSA”) under the reciprocal credit agreement at September 30, 2006 was approximately $30 million. During fiscal 2006, $24 million was drawn by TFSA under the credit agreement, which TFSA repaid in fiscal 2006.

Guarantees and Other Contingencies

TMCC has guaranteed certain bond obligations relating to two affiliates totaling $148 million of principal and interest that were issued by Putnam County, West Virginia and Gibson County, Indiana. The bonds mature in the following fiscal years: 2028 - $20 million; 2029 - $50 million; 2030 - $38 million; 2031 - $30 million; and 2032 - $10 million. TMCC would be required to perform under the guarantees in the event of failure by the affiliates to fulfill their obligations; bankruptcy involving the affiliates or TMCC; or failure to observe any covenant, condition, or agreement under the guarantees by the affiliates, bond issuers, or TMCC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

These guarantees include provisions whereby TMCC is entitled to reimbursement by the affiliates for amounts paid. TMCC receives an annual fee of $102,000 for guaranteeing such payments. TMCC has not been required to perform under any of these affiliate bond guarantees as of September 30 and March 31, 2006. The fair value of these guarantees as of September 30 and March 31, 2006 was approximately $1 million. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no liability amounts have been recorded related to the guarantees as management has determined that it is not probable that we would be required to perform under these affiliate bond guarantees.

In certain securitization structures, a revolving liquidity note (“RLN”) is used in lieu of a deposit to a cash reserve fund. The securitization trust may draw upon the associated RLN to cover any shortfall in interest and principal payments to investors. We fund such draws, and the terms of a RLN obligate the securitization trust to repay amounts drawn plus accrued interest. Repayments of principal and interest due under a RLN are subordinate to principal and interest payments on the asset-backed securities and, in some circumstances, to deposits into the related reserve fund. If collections are insufficient to repay amounts outstanding under a RLN, we will recognize a loss for the outstanding amounts. We must fund the entire amount available under a RLN into the related reserve fund if our short term unsecured debt ratings are downgraded below P-1 or A-1 by Moody’s or S&P, respectively. No amounts were outstanding under any RLN as of September 30 and March 31, 2006. The RLN had no material fair value as of September 30 and March 31, 2006. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no liability amounts have been recorded for any RLN as management has determined that it is not probable that we would be required to fund any amounts under a RLN.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements containing indemnification provisions standard in the industry related to several types of transactions, including, but not limited to, debt funding, derivatives, securitization transactions, and our vendor and supplier agreements. Performance under these indemnities would occur upon a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made or given, or a third party claim. In addition, we have agreed in certain debt and derivative issuances, and subject to certain exceptions, to gross-up payments due to third parties in the event that withholding tax is imposed on such payments. In addition, certain of our funding arrangements would require us to pay lenders for increased costs due to certain changes in laws or regulations. Due to the difficulty in predicting events which could cause a breach of the indemnification provisions or trigger a gross-up or other payment obligation, we are not able to estimate our maximum exposure to future payments that could result from claims made under such provisions. We have not made any material payments in the past as a result of these provisions, and as of September 30, 2006, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any material payments in the future. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no amounts have been recorded under these indemnifications.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Receivable Repurchase Obligations

TMCC makes certain representations and warranties to the special purposes entities (“SPEs”), and the SPEs make corresponding representations and warranties to securitization trusts, relating to receivables sold in securitization transactions by us. TMCC and the SPEs may be required to repurchase any receivable in the event of a breach of a representation and warranty that would materially and adversely affect the interest of the SPEs, or any securitization trust, as applicable. In addition, TMCC, as the servicer of the receivables, may be required to repurchase any receivable in the event of a breach of a covenant by the servicer that would materially and adversely affect the interest of any securitization trust, or if extensions or modifications to a receivable are made. TMCC, as the servicer, does not elect to make advances to cover any resulting reductions in interest payments. The repurchase price is generally the outstanding principal balance of the receivable plus any accrued interest thereon. These provisions are customary in the securitization industry. No receivables were repurchased under these provisions during the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. As of September 30, 2006, we determined that it is not probable that TMCC will be required to make any material payments in the future. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no amounts have been recorded under these obligations.

Advancing Requirements

As a servicer of receivables sold through securitizations, TMCC is required to advance delinquent amounts contractually owed by an obligor to the applicable securitization trust to the extent it believes the advance will be recovered from future collections of the related receivable. Each securitization trust is required to reimburse TMCC for any outstanding advances from collections on all receivables before making other required payments. These provisions are customary in the automotive finance securitization industry. Advances outstanding at September 30 and March 31, 2006 totaled $1 million.

Litigation

Various legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted in the future against us with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Certain of these actions are or purport to be class action suits, seeking sizeable damages and/or changes in our business operations, policies and practices. Certain of these actions are similar to suits that have been filed against other financial institutions and captive finance companies. Our management and internal and external counsel perform periodic reviews of pending claims and actions to determine the probability of adverse verdicts and resulting amounts of liability. We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims and associated costs of defense may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for these claims. However, based on information currently available, the advice of counsel, and established reserves, our management expects that the ultimate liability resulting therefrom will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Lending Class Actions

An alleged class action in the U.S. District Court - Central District of California, Baltimore v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation filed in November 2000 claimed that our pricing practices discriminate against African-Americans and Hispanics. Two additional cases in the state courts in California, (Herra v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and Gonzales v. Toyota Motor Credit

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

Corporation) filed in the Superior Court of California Alameda County in April 2003 and in the Superior Court of the State of California in August 2003, respectively, contained similar allegations claiming discrimination against minorities. The cases were brought by various individuals. Injunctive relief was sought in all three cases and the cases also included a claim for actual damages in an unspecified amount. The parties reached an agreement to settle these cases. The settlement was approved by the Federal District Court for the Central District of California on November 6, 2006. Under the settlement, TMCC agreed to stop purchasing contracts with markups greater than amounts approved under the settlement and to include disclosures on TMCC’s contracts that explain that the finance charge may be negotiable and that the dealer may keep part of the finance charge. TMCC also agreed to: (i) offer 850,000 pre-approved offers of credit (that cannot be marked up) to African-American and Hispanic consumers; (ii) contribute $750,000 to non-profit entities for consumer education purposes with a focus on minorities; (iii) pay $95,000 in damages; (iv) pay up to $10,600,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs; and (v) on submission of a valid claim, provide eligible class members with either a certificate of credit applicable to their next financing with TMCC in amounts ranging from $50 to $400 or a check in amounts ranging from $25 to $225, depending upon the amount of their payment over the applicable buy rate or, in certain circumstances, the time their contracts were assigned to TMCC. TMCC is fully reserved for this settlement.

There are also non-class action cases making similar claims in other jurisdictions. We believe that TMCC has strong defenses to these claims.

New Jersey Consumer Fraud Action

An action in the New Jersey Superior Court, Jorge v. Toyota Motor Insurance Services (“TMIS”), filed in November 2002 claimed that the TMIS Gold Plan Vehicle Service Agreement (“VSA”) is unconscionable on its face and violates the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. In September 2004, the case was certified as a class action consisting of all New Jersey consumers who purchased a TMIS Gold Plan VSA. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief as well as actual damages and treble damages in an unspecified amount. In an opinion dated August 1, 2006, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a decision vacating the trial court's certification of the class and reversing the denial of TMIS' Motion for Summary Judgment. The Appellate Division remanded the matter to the trial court for the entry of judgment in favor of TMIS. On September 8, 2006, upon direction of the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court, the trial Court vacated its ruling granting class action status to the lawsuit and further dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.

Note 11 - Income Tax Provision

Our effective tax rate was 26 percent and 30 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively. The decrease in income taxes during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 was due to a one time favorable adjustment related to a change in the franchise Texas tax law (Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3)) and a federal income tax benefit related to the Hybrid vehicle credit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OPERATING SUMMARY

Financing Operations

We generate revenue, income, and cash flows by providing retail financing, leasing, wholesale financing, and certain other financial products and services to vehicle and industrial equipment dealers and their customers. We measure our performance in the following ways:

·  
New contract volume
·  
Market share related to Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales
·  
Return on assets
·  
Financial leverage
·  
Financing margins
·  
Operating efficiency

Our consolidated net income was $42 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $158 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Our consolidated net income was $211 million for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to $308 million for the first half of fiscal 2006.

Our results were primarily affected by an increase in interest expense due to derivatives, higher market interest rates, and our higher outstanding debt portfolio. This was partially offset by the increase in our financing revenues. Revenues were favorably impacted by increased contract volume and higher portfolio yields on our finance receivables.

Insurance Operations

We also generate revenue through marketing, underwriting, and administering claims related to covering certain risks of vehicle dealers and their customers. We measure our insurance operations on the basis of agreement volume, number of agreements in force, investment portfolio return, and loss ratio.

Our insurance operations reported net income of $33 million and $40 million during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $10 million and $23 million of net income during the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our results were primarily affected by an increase in investment income, contract revenues and earned premiums, partially offset by the increase in insurance product expenses.

Net financing revenues decreased 52 percent and 23 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our results were primarily affected by an increase in interest expense due to derivatives, higher market interest rates, and our higher outstanding debt portfolio. This was partially offset by the increase in our financing revenues. Revenues were favorably impacted by increased contract volume and higher portfolio yields on our finance receivables. Our revenues were influenced as follows:

·  
Our operating lease revenues were up 34 percent for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our direct finance lease revenues were down 18 percent and 23 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our operating lease revenues and direct finance lease revenues on a combined basis were up 31 percent for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. This increase was primarily driven by our higher leasing volume in the past two fiscal years, offset by the decrease in direct finance leases due to the classification of new vehicle leases as operating leases.

·  
Our retail financing revenues increased 24 percent and 25 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. This was due to an increase in retail finance receivables with a corresponding increase in our portfolio yield.

·  
Dealer financing revenues increased 43 percent and 42 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 primarily due to an increase in the yield on dealer financing and a higher average outstanding balance on dealer financing earning assets. The yield on dealer financing receivables increased as the majority of the dealer financing portfolio bears interest at variable rates which re-price with changes in market rates. 
 
-21

Our total finance receivables portfolio yield increased to 6.7 percent for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, compared to 6.0 percent and 5.9 percent during the same periods in fiscal 2006.
 
Depreciation expense on operating leases increased 30 percent and 32 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. This increase is consistent with the increase in the average number of operating lease units outstanding for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. Please refer to the “Residual Value Risk” section within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for further discussion.

Our higher contract volume on our retail and lease contracts during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 resulted in increases in earning assets. Our volume of new contracts acquired primarily from Toyota and Lexus vehicle dealers was up 8 percent and 12 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. Much of this growth in volume resulted from increased sales levels of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (“TMS”) sold 571,000 units and 1.1 million units during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to 494,000 units and 975,000 units during the same periods in fiscal 2006. Our market share of retail contracts on new Toyota and Lexus vehicles decreased due to fewer subvened retail contracts, while our market share of lease contracts on new Toyota and Lexus vehicles increased due to higher Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales and higher lease subvention.

Retail Finance Receivables and Contract Volume

Retail finance receivables and vehicle retail contract volume increased due to higher Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales combined with our emphasis on developing dealer relationships and purchasing a broader range of credit quality, partially offset by a decrease in the availability of TMS subvention on new retail contracts. Retail market share of TMS sales decreased for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 due to competitive pricing pressure and the decrease in the availability of TMS subvention on retail contracts. Retail contract volume typically moves in line with Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales and the availability of subvention on retail contracts.
-24-

 
Lease Earning Assets and Contract Volume

Total lease earning assets is comprised of investments in operating leases and direct finance leases. Leasing generally becomes more attractive to customers in a rising interest rate environment because the difference between monthly payments under a lease contract and a retail installment contract typically widens as interest rates rise. Vehicle lease contract volume typically moves in line with Toyota and Lexus vehicle sales, the availability of subvention programs, and changes in the interest rate environment. Direct finance leases decreased due to the classification of new vehicle leases as operating leases.

Dealer Financing Earning Assets

Dealer financing decreased primarily due to seasonal fluctuations in the amount of dealer inventory financed, partially offset by continued growth in the number of vehicle dealers receiving wholesale financing.

Residual Value Risk

The primary factors affecting our exposure to residual value risk are the levels at which contractual residual values are established at lease inception, projected market values, and the resulting impact on vehicle lease return rates and loss severity.

Management periodically reviews the estimated realizable value of leased assets to assess the appropriateness of the carrying value of the lease residuals. For operating leases, the impact of estimated declines in contractual residual values is recorded over time in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Depreciation expense on operating leases increased due to an increase in the average number of operating lease vehicles outstanding. Average operating lease units outstanding increased due to new operating lease vehicles being added to the portfolio at a faster rate than operating lease vehicles have matured.
 
Depreciation expense is also affected by changes in the used vehicle market. During the current quarter, the used vehicle market was stable and did not materially contribute to the increase in depreciation expense.

In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors such as: economic conditions, operational factors, and credit quality of the portfolio at quarter end. The allowance for credit losses decreased at September 30, 2006 from March 31, 2006 as a result of continued improvements in our service operations and credit loss management methods.

Our provision for credit loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was lower compared to the same period in the prior year. Our provision for credit loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 included an adjustment related to Hurricane Katrina. Excluding this adjustment, our provision for credit loss would have increased due to our growth in earning assets and a broader range of credit quality within the retail portfolio.

Our provision for credit loss for the first half of fiscal 2007 was higher compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding the Hurricane Katrina adjustment in fiscal 2006, the increase in our provision for credit loss would have been greater due to the growth in earning assets and a broader range of credit quality within the retail portfolio.

We experienced an increase in 60-day delinquencies and net charge-offs as a percentage of average gross earning assets on the overall portfolio. This increase was primarily due to the higher credit risk associated with increased retail contract volume acquired in fiscal 2004 and 2005, which reflected longer term contracts and a broader range of credit quality.

Our insurance operations reported $33 million and $40 million of net income during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $10 million and $23 million of net income during the same periods in fiscal 2006. Contract revenues and earned premiums increased due to increased agreement volume and agreements in force. Our agreement volume and agreements in force increased due to the increase in vehicle sales. The increase in commissions and fees is in line with the increase in agreement volume. Investment income increased due to higher realized gains on marketable securities and interest income on fixed income securities resulting from increased investment yields and investment balances.

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expense was consistent for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006. Insurance losses and loss adjustment expense was up 8 percent for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 due to the increase in our wholesale inventory claims and to a lesser extent, an increase in the average loss per claim. The increase in our wholesale inventory claims, which represents physical damage protection for dealers’ floorplan vehicles, was caused by an increase in weather related claims in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The slight increase in our average loss per claim, related to our vehicle service agreements, was primarily driven by increases in auto repair costs. The average monthly loss frequency decreased to 0.60 percent for the first half of fiscal 2007 compared to 0.62 percent for the same period in fiscal 2006.

INVESTMENT AND OTHER INCOME

Our investment and other income is primarily comprised of investment income from securitizations and investment income from marketable securities. We reported $58 million and $78 million of investment and other income during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to $28 million and $61 million during the same periods in fiscal 2006. This increase was due to higher net realized gains on marketable securities and an increase in interest income on fixed income securities resulting from increased investment yields, partially offset by lower investment income from securitizations. Investment income from securitizations decreased due to a reduction in the average outstanding balance of securitization pools as a result of the amortization of the related receivables and fewer outstanding transactions. The outstanding balance of securitized finance receivables we service decreased to $318 million at September 30, 2006 from $533 million at March 31, 2006.

TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 26 percent and 30 percent during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, respectively. The decrease in income taxes during the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 was due to a one time favorable adjustment related to a change in Texas franchise tax law (Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3)) and a federal income tax benefit related to the Hybrid vehicle credit.

1 Includes carrying value adjustments of $926 million and $457 million at September 30 and March 31, 2006, respectively, as described in Note 7- Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We do not rely on any single source of funding and may choose to realign our funding activities depending upon market conditions, relative costs, and other factors. We believe that our funding sources, combined with operating and investing activities, provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding requirements and business growth. Our funding volume is based on asset growth and debt maturities.
 
For liquidity purposes, we hold cash in excess of our immediate funding needs. These excess funds are invested in short-term, highly liquid and investment grade money market instruments, which provide liquidity for our short-term funding needs and flexibility in the use of our other funding sources. We maintained excess funds ranging from $418 million to $2.2 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2006, with an average balance of $1.3 billion.

-29-

 
Commercial Paper

Short-term funding needs are met through the issuance of commercial paper in the United States. Commercial paper outstanding under our commercial paper programs ranged from approximately $12.6 billion to $15.1 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2006, with an average outstanding balance of $14.1 billion. Our commercial paper programs are supported by the liquidity facilities discussed later in this section. As an issuer rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), we believe there is ample capacity to meet our short-term funding requirements.

1 Amounts represent par values and as such exclude unamortized premium/discount, foreign currency transaction gains and losses on debt denominated in foreign currencies, fair value adjustments to debt in hedge accounting relationships, and the unamortized fair value adjustments on the hedged item for terminated hedge accounting relationships. Par values of non-U.S. currency denominated notes are determined using foreign exchange rates applicable as of the issuance dates.
2 MTNs had terms to maturity ranging from approximately one year to thirty years, and had interest rates at the time of issuance ranging from 4.9 percent to 8.4 percent.
3 EMTNs were issued in U.S. and non-U.S. currencies, had terms to maturity ranging from approximately three years to fifteen years, and had interest rates at the time of issuance ranging from 1.4 percent to 15.3 percent. Eurobonds were issued in Swiss Francs, had terms to maturity of approximately ten years, and had interest rates at the time of issuance of 2.9 percent. Concurrent with the issuance of non-U.S. currency denominated notes, we entered into cross currency interest rate swap agreements to convert payments of principal and interest on these notes to U.S. dollars.
4 Consists of fixed and floating rate debt. Upon the issuance of fixed rate debt, the Company generally elects to enter into pay-float interest rate swaps. See “Results of Operations - Derivative Instruments” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 for a detailed description of the Company’s use of derivatives.

We maintain a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to provide for the issuance of debt securities in the U.S. capital markets to both retail and institutional investors. We qualify as a well-known seasoned issuer under SEC rules, and as a result, we may issue under our registration statement an unlimited amount of debt securities during the three year period ending March 2009. Our EMTN program provides for the issuance of debt securities in the international capital markets. In September 2006, the EMTN program was renewed for a one year period, and the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized to be outstanding at any time was increased from $20 billion to $30 billion, or the equivalent in other currencies, of which $10.7 billion was available for issuance at October 31, 2006. Our EMTN program may be expanded from time to time to allow for the continued use of this source of funding. In addition, we may issue bonds in the international capital markets that are not issued under our U.S. or EMTN programs. Debt securities issued under the U.S. shelf registration statement are issued pursuant to the terms of an indenture, and EMTNs are issued pursuant to the terms of an agency agreement, both of which contain customary terms and conditions, including negative pledge and cross-default provisions.

Liquidity Facilities and Letters of Credit

Of the total credit facilities, $2 million of the uncommitted letters of credit facilities was used at September 30 and March 31, 2006. No amounts were drawn on the committed facilities at September 30 and March 31, 2006.

TMCC may take advances under the syndicated bank credit facilities subject to customary covenants and conditions, including negative pledge and cross default provisions. Under the 364-day credit facility, a default by Toyota Credit Canada Inc., our affiliate and a co-borrower, could constitute a default by us. The syndicated bank credit facilities do not contain any material adverse change clauses or additional restrictive financial covenants that would limit each of TMCC’s and TCPR’s ability to borrow under its respective facilities.

Securitization

Our securitization program represents an additional source of liquidity. As of September 30, 2006, we owned approximately $43.7 billion in potentially securitizable finance receivables. On July 27, 2006, our shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. The registration statement complies with Regulation AB, the SEC’s rule governing the offering of asset backed securities, and can be used to issue asset backed securities secured by our retail finance contracts. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2006, we did not execute any securitization transactions. A detailed description of our securitization program is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”.

The cost and availability of unsecured financing is influenced by credit ratings, which are intended to be an indicator of the creditworthiness of a particular company, security, or obligation. Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs as well as reduced access to capital markets. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). Each NRSRO may have different criteria for evaluating risk, and therefore ratings should be evaluated independently for each NRSRO. Our credit ratings depend in part on the existence of the credit support agreements of TFSC and TMC. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Credit Support” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Our use of derivatives is limited to the management of interest rate and foreign exchange risks. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not actively trade in and out of derivative positions for speculative purposes.

We categorize derivatives as those designated for hedge accounting (“hedge accounting derivatives”) and those that are not designated for hedge accounting (“non-hedge accounting derivatives”). Hedge accounting derivatives are comprised of pay-float interest rate swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps. Non-hedge accounting derivatives are comprised of pay-fixed interest rate swaps, de-designated pay-float interest rate swaps, pay-float interest rate swaps for which hedge accounting has not been elected, interest rate caps, and currency basis swaps. We discontinue the use of hedge accounting if a derivative is sold, terminated or exercised, or if our management determines that designating a derivative under hedge accounting is no longer appropriate (“de-designated derivatives”). De-designated derivatives are included within the category of non-hedge accounting derivatives. A detailed description of our accounting for derivative instruments is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 under “Results of Operations - Derivative Instruments”.

One of our goals is to manage the interest rate risk arising from the differences in timing between the re-pricing of assets relative to liabilities. We use non-hedge accounting derivatives, specifically pay-fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, to manage this exposure. The use of these non-hedge accounting derivatives to mitigate interest rate risk has historically resulted in significant volatility in the net result from non-hedge accounting. The combination of the changes in fair values of de-designated derivatives with those of non-hedge accounting derivatives has had the effect of reducing earnings volatility. Our management does not engage in de-designation with a view as to the favorable or unfavorable impact on the results of operations. De-designation has resulted in lower losses in the net result from non-hedge accounting in certain quarters and in lower gains in the net result from non-hedge accounting in other quarters. These decreases represent reductions in volatility in the net result from non-hedge accounting. We estimate that the impact of de-designation on the results of operations was a reduction in the volatility in net result from non-hedge accounting of approximately $53 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and approximately $22 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Our management evaluates the reduction of volatility on a quarterly basis only.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005

Interest expense on debt primarily represents the interest due on notes and loans payable and commercial paper. The change during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to increases in interest rates and higher outstanding debt balances.

The amortization of basis adjustments on debt is primarily comprised of amortization related to the fair value adjustments on debt for terminated fair value hedging relationships. As discussed in the “Derivative Instruments” section of this MD&A, the de-designation of the hedge accounting derivatives resulted in the termination of fair value hedging relationships. As a consequence of these terminations, the fair value adjustments to the hedged items continue to be reported as part of the basis of the debt and are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. The decrease in amortization during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was due to maturities of debt associated with previously terminated fair value hedging relationships.

Net interest realized on hedge accounting derivatives represents net interest on pay-float swaps for which hedge accounting has been elected. The change during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was due to the rise in short-term interest rates, primarily three-month LIBOR and higher outstanding debt balances.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005

The change in interest expense on debt during the first half of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to increases in interest rates and higher outstanding debt balances.

The decrease in amortization of basis adjustments during the first half of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was due to maturities of debt associated with previously terminated fair value hedging relationships.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 vs. September 30, 2005

Currency basis swaps are used in combination with interest rate swaps to convert non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to U.S. dollar denominated payments. We have elected hedge accounting for the interest rate swaps and debt, but have elected not to apply hedge accounting for the currency basis swaps. The loss in the fair value of the currency basis swaps in both the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 was due to the slight strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies in each of the three month periods in fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007.

The foreign currency transaction gains or losses relates to foreign currency denominated debt where hedge accounting has been applied only for interest rate risk. The gains recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 were primarily due to the slight strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain other currencies. These foreign currency transaction gains or losses offset the unrealized gains or losses on the currency basis swaps discussed above.

Net interest realized on non-hedge accounting derivatives represents interest received on pay-fixed swaps offset by interest paid on non-hedge accounting pay-float swaps. The change for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the impact of the rise in three-month LIBOR, resulting in higher interest payments received on pay-fixed swaps, and higher outstanding pay-fixed notional balances.

The unrealized loss on non-hedge accounting derivatives for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was due to the impact of the fall in the two- and three- year swap rates on pay-fixed swaps and the increase in outstanding notional balances of these derivatives. The unrealized gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was due to the impact of the rise in the two- and three-year swap rates on pay-fixed swaps. This unrealized gain was partially offset by unrealized losses on pay-float swaps which were negatively impacted by the same interest rate increases. Refer to the “Derivative Instruments” section of this MD&A for further discussion.

The gain in the fair value of the currency basis swaps during the first half of fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies during the first half of fiscal 2007. The loss in the fair value of the currency basis swaps for the first half of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies during the first half of fiscal 2006.

The foreign currency transaction losses recognized during the first half of fiscal 2007 were primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain other currencies. The foreign currency transaction gains recognized during the same period in fiscal 2006 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against certain other currencies.

The change in net interest realized on non-hedge accounting derivatives during the first half of fiscal 2007 when compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the impact of the overall increase in three-month LIBOR during the first half of fiscal 2007, resulting in higher interest payments received on pay-fixed swaps, and higher outstanding notional balances.

The unrealized loss on non-hedge accounting derivatives during the first half of fiscal 2007 was primarily due to the impact of the fall in the two- and three- year swap rates on pay-fixed swaps with more than one year to maturity and the passage of time on pay-fixed swaps with less than one year to maturity which were partially offset by the impact of the fall in these interest rates on pay-float swaps with more than one year to maturity. The unrealized loss on non-hedge accounting derivatives during the first half of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to the passage of time on pay-fixed swaps with less than one year to maturity and the impact of the rise in the two- and three-year swap rates on pay-float swaps.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Securitization Funding

A detailed description of our securitization funding program is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”.

Guarantees

TMCC has guaranteed the payments of principal and interest with respect to the bonds of manufacturing facilities of certain affiliates. TMCC receives an annual fee of $102,000 for guaranteeing such payments. The nature, business purpose, and amounts of these guarantees are described in Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than the fee discussed above, there are no corresponding expenses or cash flows arising from our guarantees, nor are any amounts recorded as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Lending Commitments

A detailed description of our lending commitments is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”. While the majority of these credit facilities and financing arrangements are secured, approximately 2 percent of our lending commitments at September 30, 2006 were unsecured. In addition to these lending commitments, we have also extended $6.9 billion and $6.6 billion of wholesale financing lines not considered to be contractual commitments at September 30 and March 31, 2006, respectively, of which $3.5 billion and $4.3 billion were outstanding at September 30 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Indemnification

Refer to Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of agreements containing indemnification provisions. We have not made any material payments in the past as a result of these provisions, and as of September 30, 2006, we determined that it is not probable that we will be required to make any material payments in the future. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no amounts have been recorded under these indemnifications.

Receivable Repurchase Obligations

Refer to Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of our receivable repurchase obligations. No receivables were repurchased under these provisions during the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. As of September 30, 2006, we determined that it is not probable that TMCC will make any material payments in the future. As of September 30 and March 31, 2006, no amounts have been recorded under these obligations.

Advancing Requirements

Refer to Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of our advancing requirements. Advances outstanding at September 30 and March 31, 2006 totaled $1 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various types of market risks as a result of our normal business activities. Market risk is the sensitivity of our income, market value, and capital to fluctuations in market variables such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and market prices.

We manage exposure to certain market risks, in part through the use of derivative instruments. Refer to the “Derivative Instruments” section of the MD&A for further discussion of our use of derivative instruments. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not actively trade in and out of derivative positions for speculative purposes.
 
Interest Rate Risk

Currently, our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results primarily from differences in the re-pricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities. When evaluating interest rate risk management strategies, we consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, management’s risk tolerance and market conditions. We use various analytical techniques (including the Value at Risk (“VaR”) methodology, gap analysis, and sensitivity analysis) to assess and manage interest rate risk.

The VaR model we use presents the potential loss in fair value for our portfolio from adverse changes in interest rates for a 30-day holding period within a 95 percent confidence interval using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The VaR methodology is applied to our derivative financial instruments, financial instruments, and lease contracts. The methodology uses historical interest rate data to assess the potential future losses from changes in market interest rates while holding other market risks constant. The model assumes that loan prepayments do not depend on the level of interest rates. All options in the debt and derivatives portfolio are included in the VaR calculation, with the exception of options embedded in debt instruments which are offset by the use of interest rate swaps with options mirroring those embedded in the underlying debt. These matched positions are not included in the VaR calculation as the resulting net exposure is not material.

The VaR of our portfolio as of and for the six months ended September 30 and the year ended March 31, 2006 measured as the potential 30 day loss in fair value from assumed adverse changes in interest rates are as follows:
 
September 30,
2006
Average for the Six Months Ended

Mean portfolio value

Confidence level

-39-

Our calculated VaR exposure represents an estimate of reasonably possible net losses that would be recognized on its portfolio of financial instruments assuming hypothetical movements in future market rates and is not necessarily indicative of actual results which may occur. It does not represent the maximum possible loss nor any expected loss that may occur, since actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated, based upon actual fluctuations in market rates, operating exposures, and the timing thereof, and changes in the composition of the our portfolio of financial instruments during the year. The VaR at September 30, 2006 compared to March 31, 2006 increased primarily as a result of a decrease in the percentage of TMCC’s fixed-rate assets that were hedged with pay-fixed swaps.

Equity Price Risk

We are also exposed to equity price risk related to equity investments included in the investment portfolio of our insurance operations. These investments, classified as available for sale, consist primarily of passively managed mutual funds that are designed to track the performance of major equity market indices. Fair market values of the equity investments are determined using quoted market prices.

A summary of the unrealized gains and losses on equity investments included in other comprehensive income assuming a 10 percent and 20 percent adverse change in market prices is presented below (dollars in millions):
 
September 30,
2006
March 31,

These hypothetical scenarios represent an estimate of reasonably possible net losses that may be recognized as a result of changes in the fair market value of our equity investments assuming hypothetical adverse movements in future market values. These scenarios are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur. Additionally, the hypothetical scenarios do not represent the maximum possible loss or any expected loss that may occur, since actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated, based upon actual fluctuations in market prices.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We issue debt in a variety of currencies. As a matter of policy, currency exposure related to foreign currency debt is hedged at issuance through the execution of cross currency interest rate swaps or a combination of interest rate swaps coupled with currency basis swaps. Therefore, we believe that the market risk exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on our debt issuances is not material.

We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to equity and bond investments included in the investment portfolio of our insurance operations. These investments consist primarily of international equity funds and, to a lesser extent, bond funds which are incorporated into the overall investment portfolio to provide broader diversification of the investment assets. Substantially all of the market risk exposure to changes in currency exchange rates relates to the investments in international equity funds. These equity fund investments, and any related foreign exchange risk, are included in our market price risk analysis described above.
-40-

 
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK

We enter into reciprocal collateral arrangements with certain counterparties to mitigate our exposure to the credit risk associated with the respective counterparty. A valuation of our position with the respective counterparty is performed at least once a month. If the market value of our net derivatives position with the counterparty exceeds a specified threshold, the counterparty is required to transfer cash collateral in excess of the threshold to us. Conversely, if the market value of the counterparty's net derivatives position with us exceeds a specified threshold, we are required to transfer cash collateral in excess of the threshold to the counterparty. Our International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with counterparties contain legal right of offset provisions, and therefore the collateral amounts are netted against derivative assets, which are included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At September 30 and March 31, 2006, we held a net $488 million and $251 million, respectively, in collateral from counterparties, which is included in cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We are not required to hold the collateral in a segregated account.

Counterparty credit risk of derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at September 30, 2006, reduced by the effects of master netting agreements and collateral. At September 30, 2006, substantially all of our derivative instruments were executed with commercial banks and investment banking firms assigned investment grade ratings of "A" or better by NRSROs. We have not experienced a counterparty default and do not currently anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties, and as such have no reserves related to non-performance as of September 30, 2006. In addition, many of our ISDA Master Agreements with counterparties contain reciprocal ratings triggers providing either party with an option to terminate the agreement and related transactions at market in the event of a ratings downgrade below a specified threshold.

A summary of our net counterparty credit exposure by credit rating (net of collateral held) is presented below (dollars in millions):

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Fair Lending Class Actions

An alleged class action in the U.S. District Court - Central District of California, Baltimore v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation filed in November 2000 claimed that our pricing practices discriminate against African-Americans and Hispanics. Two additional cases in the state courts in California, (Herra v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation and Gonzales v. Toyota Motor Credit Corporation) filed in the Superior Court of California Alameda County in April 2003 and in the Superior Court of the State of California in August 2003, respectively, contained similar allegations claiming discrimination against minorities. The cases were brought by various individuals. Injunctive relief was sought in all three cases and the cases also included a claim for actual damages in an unspecified amount. The parties reached an agreement to settle these cases. The settlement was approved by the Federal District Court for the Central District of California on November 6, 2006. Under the settlement, TMCC agreed to stop purchasing contracts with markups greater than amounts approved under the settlement and to include disclosures on TMCC’s contracts that explain that the finance charge may be negotiable and that the dealer may keep part of the finance charge. TMCC also agreed to: (i) offer 850,000 pre-approved offers of credit (that cannot be marked up) to African-American and Hispanic consumers; (ii) contribute $750,000 to non-profit entities for consumer education purposes with a focus on minorities; (iii) pay $95,000 in damages; (iv) pay up to $10,600,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs; and (v) on submission of a valid claim, provide eligible class members with either a certificate of credit applicable to their next financing with TMCC in amounts ranging from $50 to $400 or a check in amounts ranging from $25 to $225, depending upon the amount of their payment over the applicable buy rate or, in certain circumstances, the time their contracts were assigned to TMCC. TMCC is fully reserved for this settlement.

There are also non-class action cases making similar claims in other jurisdictions. We believe that TMCC has strong defenses to these claims.

New Jersey Consumer Fraud Action

An action in the New Jersey Superior Court, Jorge v. Toyota Motor Insurance Services (“TMIS”), filed in November 2002 claimed that the TMIS Gold Plan Vehicle Service Agreement (“VSA”) is unconscionable on its face and violates the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. In September 2004, the case was certified as a class action consisting of all New Jersey consumers who purchased a TMIS Gold Plan VSA. The plaintiffs sought injunctive relief as well as actual damages and treble damages in an unspecified amount. In an opinion dated August 1, 2006, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey issued a decision vacating the trial court's certification of the class and reversing the denial of TMIS' Motion for Summary Judgment. The Appellate Division remanded the matter to the trial court for the entry of judgment in favor of TMIS. On September 8, 2006, upon direction of the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court, the trial Court vacated its ruling granting class action status to the lawsuit and further dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 have not materially changed for the September 2006 quarter: sales of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, credit support, residual value risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, operational risk, regulatory risk, counterparty credit risk, factors affecting earnings, competition, risk of catastrophes, concentration of customer risk, insurance reserves, and reinsurance credit risk. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 for a complete discussion of these risk factors.
