Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarize our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Derivative assets were reduced by a counterparty credit valuation adjustment of $1 million as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014. Derivative liabilities were reduced by a non-performance credit valuation adjustment of less than $1 million as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of their respective reporting periods. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, there were no transfers between levels. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, there was a $2 million transfer from the Corporate debt securities asset class to the U.S. government and agency obligations asset class within the Level 3 debt instruments due to a reclassification of an existing debt instrument.

The following tables summarize the reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Nonrecurring fair value measurements consist of Level 3 net finance receivables that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments utilizing the fair value of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent, when there is evidence of impairment. For these assets, we record the fair value on a nonrecurring basis and disclose changes in fair value during the reporting period. These nonrecurring fair value measurements were not significant as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014

The fair value measurements of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurement, and the corresponding change in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, were not significant to our Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income as of and for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2014 and as of and for the year ended March 31, 2014.

The carrying value of each class of finance receivables is presented including accrued interest and deferred fees and costs, net of deferred income and the allowance for credit losses. The amount excludes related party receivables of $94 million and $89 million at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 and direct finance leases of $291 million and $274 million at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

The carrying value of unsecured notes and loans payable represents the sum of unsecured notes and loans payable and carrying value adjustment as described in Note 9 - Debt.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities which includes [financial] instruments measured at fair value that are classified in stockholders' equity. Such assets and liabilities may be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The disclosures which may be required or desired include: (1) for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, disclosure may include: (a) the fair value measurements at the reporting date; (b) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (ii) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); (iii) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs); (d) the amount of the total gains or losses for the period in subparagraph (c) (i) above included in earnings (or changes in net assets) that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (e) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period and (2) for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired assets) disclosure may include, in addition to (a) above: (a) the reasons for the fair value measurements recorded; (b) the same as (b) above; (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a description of the inputs and the information used to develop the inputs; and (d) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes, if any, in the valuation technique(s) used to measure similar assets and/or liabilities in prior periods. Where the quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the Level 1 input is the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset.
