AT&T CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by AT&T Capital Corporation and its subsidiaries ("AT&T
Capital" or the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of
management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations, financial position and cash flows for each period shown. The
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial
results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the current
year's previously issued Form 10-Q.
2. Shareowners' Equity and Earnings Per Share
The computation of earnings per common share and common share
equivalent is based upon the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding plus common share equivalents arising from the effect of
dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method. Fully dilutive
earnings per common share and common share equivalents are not presented
since dilution is less than 3%.
On February 28, 1995 and May 31, 1995, the Company paid a dividend of
$.10 per share to shareowners of record as of February 10, 1995 and May
10, 1995, respectively. In addition, on July 17, 1995 the Company's board
of directors declared a second quarter dividend of $.10 per share. The
dividend is payable August 31, 1995 to shareowners of record as of the
close of business on August 10, 1995.
3. Acquisitions
On January 4, 1995, the Company acquired the vendor leasing and
finance companies of Banco Central Hispano and certain of its affiliates
("CFH Leasing International") located in the United Kingdom, Germany,
France, Italy, and Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). CFH
Leasing International provides financial services to equipment
manufacturers and vendors. With offices throughout Western Europe, it
serves approximately 4,600 customers and had assets of approximately $540
million at the time of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for by
the purchase method and the total cash paid (net of cash acquired) was
approximately $74 million. In addition, on June 30, 1995, the Company
acquired two relatively small businesses, a United States mid-range
computer asset business with approximately $180 million in assets and an
Australian equipment finance company with approximately $40 million in
assets. These acquisitions did not materially impact net income for the
three or six months ended June 30, 1995.

AT&T CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
In January 1995, the Company acquired CFH Leasing International
located in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Benelux. CFH
Leasing International provides financial services to equipment
manufacturers and vendors. With offices throughout Western Europe, it
serves approximately 4,600 customers and had approximately $540 million in
assets at the time of acquisition. The Company also acquired two
relatively small businesses on June 30, 1995, a United States mid-range
computer asset business with approximately $180 million in assets and an
Australian equipment finance company with approximately $40 million in
assets. These acquisitions did not materially impact net income for the
three or six months ended June 30, 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six months ended June 30, 1995
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was $53.0 million,
an increase of $18.3 million, or 52.7% compared with the first six months
of 1994. Earnings per share for the first half of 1995 were $1.13, a
52.7% increase over the $.74 reported for the same period in 1994. Net
income of the Company is highly dependent upon the level of portfolio
assets (investment in finance receivables, capital leases, and operating
leases), the related margins earned on portfolio assets, remarketing
activity, and the quality of portfolio assets. The growth in net income
and earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared
with the same period of 1994 was due primarily to an increase in average
portfolio assets, strong secondary market and renewal activity and a lower
provision for credit losses.
Finance revenue of $81.0 million increased $23.6 million, or 41.2%,
in the first six months of 1995 compared with the same period of 1994,
reflecting a 30.5% increase in the average finance receivable portfolio as
well as higher average yields for the first six months of 1995 compared
with the same period in 1994.
Capital lease revenue of $277.7 million increased $56.4 million, or
25.5%, in the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same
period in 1994. This is reflective of a 24.6% increase in the average
capital lease portfolio during the first half of 1995 compared with the
first half of 1994.
Rental revenue on operating leases of $269.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 increased $40.7 million, or 17.8%, compared
with the six months ended June 30, 1994. Depreciation expense on
10 FORM 10-Q
operating leases of $171.2 million increased $18.2 million, or 11.9%, for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the six months
ended June 30, 1994. Rental revenue less associated depreciation
("operating lease margin") for the first half of 1995 was $98.2 million,
or 36.5% of rental revenue, compared with $75.8 million, or 33.1% of
rental revenue for the first half of 1994. The increased operating lease
margin in 1995 relates primarily to renewed leases in the Company's small-
ticket telecommunications equipment portfolio, as well as higher margins
in the automobile lease portfolio, testing and diagnostic equipment
portfolio and reduced levels of lower yielding mainframe business.
Net interest margin (finance revenue, capital lease revenue and
rental revenue, less depreciation on operating leases and interest
expense) of $262.1 million was 6.59% of average portfolio assets for the
first six months of 1995. This compares with net interest margin of
$228.7 million, which was 7.15% of average portfolio assets for the first
six months of 1994. The decrease in net interest margin for the first six
months of 1995 was due primarily to an increase in the Company's average
debt to equity ratio and a change in portfolio mix. Additionally, the
Company has experienced some margin compression in certain small-
ticket equipment leasing portfolios due to the frequency and steepness of
the Federal Reserve Board's rate increases in 1994 and 1995. As interest
rates change, product pricing is generally adjusted to reflect the
Company's higher or lower cost of borrowing. However, the pricing in
connection with some small-ticket portfolios tends to lag and may not be
commensurate with the change in the Company's borrowing costs. The
Company's net interest margin has remained flat when compared with the
period ended March 31, 1995.
Total non-AT&T (i.e., excludes the leasing of AT&T equipment to
customers of AT&T and leasing to AT&T, its affiliates and its employees)
revenue, assets and net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were
$422.1 million (or 56.7% of total revenue), $5,714.6 million (or 65.4% of
total assets) and $2.9 million (or 5.6% of total net income),
respectively. This compares with total non-AT&T revenue, assets and net
loss of $370.8 million (or 56.3% of total revenue), $3,935.8 million (or
56.6% of total assets), and $9.3 million, respectively, for the six months
ended June 30, 1994. Although profitability of the Company's non-AT&T
businesses has improved, the non-AT&T net income in 1995 and net loss in
1994 were impacted by start-ups in non-AT&T businesses, particularly as a
result of the Company's international expansion.
Revenue from equipment sales of $17.0 million decreased $55.0
million, or 76.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with
the same period in 1994. Cost of equipment sales of $15.3 million
decreased $52.0 million, or 77.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
compared with the same period of 1994. Equipment sales revenue less
associated cost of equipment sold ("equipment sales margin") was $1.7
million, or 9.9% of equipment sales revenue for the first six months of
1995. Equipment sales margin for the first six months of 1994 was $4.7
million, or 6.5%, of equipment sales revenue. In 1995, the opportunities
for this type of activity internationally as well as in the United States
continued to decrease due to increased competitive pressures in the
computer mainframe market as more companies move to client/server
technology.
11 FORM 10-Q
Other revenue of $99.7 million grew $20.9 million, or 26.4%, in the
six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the six months ended June
30, 1994. The increase is primarily due to higher remarketing gains on
end-of-lease equipment of $10.2 million, increased revenue of $4.5 million
related to higher levels of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans
sold in the secondary market with servicing retained and increased fee
income of $3.2 million.
The Company's mainframe portfolio and related residual amounts
continue to trend downward in 1995. The Company regularly monitors its
estimates of residual values for all leased equipment, including mainframe
computers, and believes that its residual values are conservatively
stated.
Growth in the Company's portfolio assets, including the acquisition
of CFH Leasing International, caused the average borrowings outstanding to
increase by 30.4%, or $1.4 billion, to $6.0 billion. The Company's
interest expense increased $69.0 million, or 54.9%, to $194.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same period in 1994.
The increase in average borrowings caused interest expense to increase by
approximately $38.2 million, of which approximately $7.6 million is
related to additional borrowings brought about by an increase in the
Company's average debt to equity. Debt to equity increased to 5.95 times
at June 30, 1995 compared with 5.01 times at June 30, 1994 as the Company
continues to deploy the initial public offering proceeds and reach it's
target debt to equity ratio of 6.25 times. Higher average interest rates
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the six months ended
June 30, 1994, caused interest expense to increase by $30.8 million. The
Company's average interest rate on borrowings was 6.52% for the six months
ended June 30, 1995, compared with 5.49% for the six months ended June 30,
1994. The Company's increased cost of borrowing is reflective of the
Federal Reserve Board's interest rate increases during 1994 and 1995. The
impact of these rate increases is beginning to be more evident as the
Company replaces maturing debt with today's higher rate debt. As interest
rates change, product pricing is generally adjusted to reflect the
Company's higher or lower cost of borrowing. See previous discussion on
net interest margin.
Operating and administrative costs of $235.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, increased $32.4 million, or 16.0%, compared
with the six months ended June 30, 1994. International expansion,
including the acquisition of CFH Leasing International and the Company's
start-up businesses in Australia and Mexico, contributed $8.6 million to
the increase. Also contributing to the increase were higher costs
associated with managing a higher level of portfolio assets. For the
first six months of 1995, annualized operating and administrative costs to
total assets as of June 30, 1995 was 5.38% compared with 5.82% for the
first six months of 1994. For the year ended December 31, 1994, operating
and administrative costs to total year-end assets was 5.33%.
The Company's effective tax rate was 40.3% and 42.6% for the first
six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease is due primarily
to lower levels of non-tax deductible goodwill in 1995.
12 FORM 10-Q
Three months ended June 30, 1995
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, was $27.9 million, an
increase of $9.0 million, or 47.7% compared with the second quarter of
1994. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1995 were $.59, a
47.5% increase over the $.40 reported for the same period in 1994. Net
income of the Company is highly dependent upon the level of portfolio
assets, the related margins earned on portfolio assets, remarketing
activity, and the quality of portfolio assets. The increase in net income
and earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared
with the same period of 1994 principally resulted from an increase in
average portfolio assets, strong secondary market and renewal activity and
a lower provision for credit losses.
Finance revenue of $42.2 million increased $12.6 million, or 42.7%,
in the second quarter of 1995 compared with the same period of 1994,
reflecting a 32.3% increase in the average finance receivable portfolio as
well as higher average yields for the second quarter of 1995 compared with
the same period in 1994.
Capital lease revenue of $142.2 million increased $27.6 million, or
24.1%, in the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same
period in 1994. This reflects a 24.0% increase in the average capital
lease portfolio during the second quarter of 1995 compared with the second
quarter of 1994.
Rental revenue on operating leases of $136.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 increased $19.2 million, or 16.4%, compared
with the three months ended June 30, 1994. Depreciation expense on
operating leases of $85.9 million increased $8.0 million, or 10.3%, for
the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the three months
ended June 30, 1994. Operating lease margin for the second quarter of
1995 was $50.5 million, or 37.0% of rental revenue, compared with $39.3
million, or 33.5% of rental revenue for the second quarter of 1994. The
increased operating lease margin in 1995 relates primarily to renewed
leases in the Company's small-ticket telecommunications equipment
portfolio, as well as higher margins in the automobile lease portfolio,
testing and diagnostic equipment portfolio and reduced levels of lower
yielding mainframe business.
Net interest margin of $134.2 million was 6.57% of average portfolio
assets for the second quarter of 1995. This compares with net interest
margin of $117.9 million, which was 7.22% of average portfolio assets for
the second quarter of 1994. The decrease in net interest margin for the
second quarter of 1995 is due primarily to an increase in the Company's
debt to equity ratio (debt to equity was 5.95 times and 5.01 times at June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively) and a change in portfolio mix.
Additionally, the Company has experienced some margin compression in
certain small-ticket equipment leasing portfolios due to the frequency and
steepness of the Federal Reserve Board's rate increases in 1994 and 1995.
As interest rates change, product pricing is generally adjusted to reflect
the Company's higher or lower cost of borrowing. However, the pricing in
connection with some small-ticket portfolios tends to lag and may not be
commensurate with the change in the Company's borrowing costs. The
13 FORM 10-Q
Company's net interest margin remained flat when compared with March 31,
1995.
Total non-AT&T revenue, assets and net income for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 was $221.0 million (or 57.9% of total revenue),
$5,714.6 million (or 65.4% of total assets) and $3.3 million (or 12.0% of
total net income),respectively. This compares with total non-AT&T
revenue, assets and net loss of $187.4 million (or 56.4% of total
revenue), $3,935.8 million (or 56.6% of total assets), and $3.0 million,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1994. Although
profitability of the Company's non-AT&T businesses has improved, the non-
AT&T net income in 1995 and net loss in 1994 were impacted by
start-ups in non-AT&T businesses, particularly as the Company expands
internationally.
Revenue from equipment sales of $9.0 million decreased $21.3 million,
or 70.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the
quarter ended June 30, 1994. Cost of equipment sales of $8.2 million
decreased $20.5 million, or 71.3%, for the three months ended June 30,
1995, compared with the same period of 1994. Equipment sales margin was
$.8 million, or 8.9% of equipment sales revenue for the second quarter of
1995. Equipment sales margin for the second quarter of 1994 was $1.6
million, or 5.4%, of equipment sales revenue. In 1995, the opportunities
for this type of activity internationally as well as in the United States
continued to decrease due to increased competitive pressures in the
computer mainframe market as more companies move to client/server
technology.
Other revenue of $52.0 million grew $11.7 million, or 28.9%, in the
three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the three months ended
June 30, 1994. The increase is primarily due to higher remarketing gains
on end-of-lease equipment of $5.8 million, increased revenue of $2.6
million related to higher levels of SBA loans sold in the secondary market
with servicing retained and increased fee income of $1.9 million.
Growth in the Company's portfolio assets, including the acquisition
of CFH Leasing International, caused the average borrowings outstanding to
increase by 29.2%, or $1.4 billion, to $6.1 billion. The Company's
interest expense increased $35.2 million, or 53.5%, to $100.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the same period in
1994. The increase in average borrowings caused interest expense to
increase by approximately $19.2 million, of which approximately $7.8
million is related to additional borrowings brought about by an increase
in average debt to equity. Higher average interest rates for the three
months ended June 30, 1995, compared with the three months ended June 30,
1994, caused interest expense to increase by $16.0 million. The Company's
average interest rate on borrowings was 6.66% for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, compared with 5.60% for the three months ended June 30,
1994. The Company's increased cost of borrowing is reflective of the
Federal Reserve Board's interest rate increases during 1994 and 1995. The
impact of these rate increases is beginning to be more evident as the
Company replaces maturing debt with today's higher rate debt. As interest
rates change, product pricing is generally adjusted to reflect the
Company's higher or lower cost of borrowing. See previous discussion on
net interest margin.
14 FORM 10-Q
Operating and administrative costs of $121.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, increased $19.2 million, 18.7%, compared with the
three months ended June 30, 1994. International expansion, including
the acquisition of CFH Leasing International and the Company's start-
up businesses in Australia and Mexico, contributed $5.3 million to the
increase. Also contributing to the increase were higher costs associated
with managing a higher level of portfolio assets.
The Company's effective tax rate was 40.4% and 44.9% for the second
quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to
lower levels of non-tax deductible goodwill in 1995.
CREDIT QUALITY
The active management of credit losses is an important element of
the Company's business. The Company seeks to minimize its credit risk
through diversification of its portfolio assets by customer, industry
segment, geographic location and maturity. The Company's financing
activities have been spread across a wide range of equipment segments
(e.g., telecommunications, general, data center, other data processing,
and transportation) and a large number of customers located throughout
the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad.

Portfolio credit performance indicators continued to be favorable in
1995 reflecting the strength of the economy. Delinquency and charge-
off levels during 1995 were lower than that of 1994. The lower level of
nonaccrual assets, charge-offs and delinquency for the first six months
as well as the second quarter of 1995, were reflected in the decrease in
the Company's provision for credit losses of $9.6 million, or 19.5%, and
$4.6 million, or 19.8% compared with the first six months and second
quarter of 1994, respectively.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses at an amount
based on a review of historical loss experience, a detailed analysis of
delinquencies and problem portfolio assets, and an assessment of probable
15 FORM 10-Q
losses in the portfolio as a whole given its diversification. Management
also takes into consideration the potential impact of existing and
anticipated economic conditions.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Portfolio assets were $8.3 billion, an increase of $828.3 million,
or 11.1%, at June 30, 1995 compared with December 31, 1994. As a result
of the acquisition of CFH Leasing International, the Company's
international assets (excluding cross border transactions) at June 30,
1995 grew to 17.7% of total assets, up from 10.9% at December 31, 1994.
The net investment in finance receivables increased by $175.9
million, or 12.1% to $1.6 billion at June 30, 1995 compared with December
31, 1994 primarily due to the acquisition of CFH Leasing International and
to increased loans in the Company's manufacturing equipment portfolio and
small business lending portfolio.
The net investment in capital leases increased by $608.1 million, or
11.9%, at June 30, 1995 to $5.7 billion compared with December 31, 1994.
This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of CFH Leasing
International, and to growth in the Company's small-ticket equipment
portfolio.
The net investment in operating leases of $946.9 million at June 30,
1995 increased by $44.3 million, or 4.9%, compared with December 31, 1994.
The increase is primarily due to growth in the Company's automobile lease
portfolio.
At June 30, 1995, the total portfolio assets managed by the Company
on behalf of others was $2.5 billion compared with $2.7 billion at
December 31, 1994. The decrease in portfolio assets managed is
attributable to lower securitized assets managed due to normal run-
off of the receivable stream. Of the total assets managed by the Company
on behalf of others, 60.1% at June 30, 1995 and 55.9% at December 31,
1994, were assets managed on behalf of AT&T and its affiliates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company generates a substantial portion of its funds to support
the Company's operations from lease and rental receipts, but is also
highly dependent upon external financing, including the issuance of
commercial paper and medium-and long-term notes in public markets and, to
a lesser extent, privately placed asset-backed financings (or
securitizations). Standard & Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. have rated the
Company's senior medium- and long-term debt A, A3 and A, respectively, and
have rated the Company's commercial paper A-1, P-1 and D-1, respectively.
In the first half of 1995, the Company issued commercial paper of
$11.7 billion and made commercial paper repayments of $12.3 billion, and
issued medium- and long-term debt of $1.3 billion and repaid medium-
and long-term debt of $394.6 million. In the first half of 1994, the
Company
16 FORM 10-Q
issued commercial paper of $10.7 billion, and made commercial paper
repayments of $10.9 billion and issued medium- and long-term debt of $1.0
billion and made medium- and long-term debt repayments of $436.5 million.
During the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, principal
collections from customers of $2.1 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively,
were received. These receipts were primarily used for financings and
lease equipment purchases, and purchases of businesses and finance asset
portfolios totalling $2.9 billion and $2.6 billion in the first half of
1995 and 1994, respectively.
In conjunction with acquisitions, the Company assumed approximately
$436 million and $107 million of debt, in the first half of 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Approximately $404 million of such assumed debt was
outstanding at June 30, 1995.
The Company has paid quarterly dividends every quarter since the
fourth quarter of 1993, its first full quarter of operations after its
initial public offering. On May 31, 1995 the Company paid a dividend
of ten cents per share to shareowners of record as of May 10, 1995. In
addition, on July 17, 1995, the Company's board of directors declared a
quarterly dividend of ten cents per share for the fourth consecutive
quarter. The dividend will be payable on August 31, 1995 to shareowners
of record as of the close of business on August 10, 1995.
In July 1995, the Company filed with the SEC an additional $3.0
billion of debt securities (including medium-term notes) and warrants to
purchase debt securities, currency warrants, index warrants and interest
rate warrants. At June 30, 1995 $4.1 billion of medium-term debt was
outstanding under all SEC debt registrations.
On June 30, 1995, the Company reestablished credit facilities of $2.0
billion. These facilities, negotiated with a consortium of 35 lending
institutions, support the commercial paper issued by the Company. At June
30, 1995, these facilities were unused. The Company also has available
local lines of credit to meet local funding requirements in Hong Kong,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Mexico of approximately $759
million, of which approximately $445 million was unused at June 30, 1995.
The Company has, from time to time, borrowed funds directly from
AT&T, including on an interest-free basis pursuant to tax agreements.
These interest-free loans amounted to $248.9 million at June 30, 1995.
These sources of funds would not be available if the Company were to cease
being a member of AT&T's consolidated group for federal income tax
purposes.
Future financing is contemplated to be arranged as necessary to meet
the Company's capital and other requirements with the timing of issue,
principal amount and form depending on the Company's needs and prevailing
market and general economic conditions.
The Company anticipates obtaining necessary external financing
through issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes, available
17 FORM 10-Q
lines of credit for certain foreign operations and privately placed
asset-backed financings (or securitizations).
The Company considers its current financial resources, together with
the debt facilities referred to above and estimated future cash flows, to
be adequate to fund the Company's future growth and operating
requirements.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
AT&T Capital's asset and liability management ("ALM") process takes
a coordinated approach to the management of interest rate and foreign
currency risks. The Company's overall strategy is to match the average
cash maturities of its borrowings with the average cash flows of its
portfolio assets, as well as the currency denominations of its borrowings
with those of its portfolio assets, in a manner intended to reduce the
Company's interest rate and foreign currency exposure. The following
discussion describes certain key elements of this process, including AT&T
Capital's use of derivatives to manage risk.
Match Funding
AT&T Capital generally matches the duration and maturity structure
of its liabilities to that of its portfolio assets. The Company
routinely projects the expected future cash flows related to its current
portfolio assets. Based on these projections, the Company is generally
able to match the maturity and duration of its debt with that of its
assets. The cash flow projections incorporate assumptions about customer
behavior such as prepayments, refinancings and charge-offs. The
assumptions are based on historical experience with the Company's
individual markets and customers and are continually monitored and
updated as markets and customer behaviors change, to reflect current
customer preferences, competitive market conditions, portfolio growth
rates and portfolio mix.
Interest Rate Risk and Currency Exchange Risk
AT&T Capital actively manages interest rate risk to protect the
Company's margins on existing transactions. Interest rate risk is the
risk of earnings volatility attributable to changes in interest rates.
The Company routinely analyzes its portfolio assets and strives to match
floating rate assets with floating rate debt and fixed rate assets with
fixed rate debt. The Company generally achieves a matched position
through issuances of commercial paper and medium-term notes, as well as
through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company does not speculate
on interest rates, but rather seeks to mitigate the possible impact of
interest rate fluctuations. This is a continual process due to
prepayments, refinancings, non-performing loans, as well as other
portfolio dynamics, and therefore, interest rate risk can be
significantly limited but never fully eliminated. Additionally, the
Company enters into foreign exchange contracts and participates in the
currency swap market to mitigate its exposure to assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies and to meet local funding requirements.
18 FORM 10-Q
The Company has and expects to enter into more foreign exchange contracts
and currency swaps in 1995 primarily as a result of the January 1995
acquisition of CFH Leasing International, previously discussed.
Using Derivatives to Manage Interest Rate and Currency Risk
AT&T Capital uses derivatives to match fund its portfolio and
thereby manage interest rate and currency risk. Derivatives can be
customized in terms of duration and interest rate basis (i.e., fixed or
floating). Derivatives used by the Company are operationally efficient
to arrange and maintain. Whether AT&T Capital issues medium-term notes,
on which it pays a fixed rate, or issues floating rate debt and utilizes
interest rate swaps, on which it generally pays a fixed rate and receives
a floating rate, the Company's interest rate risk position can be equally
well managed. However, it is the continuing interplay between liquidity,
capital, portfolio characteristics, and economic and market conditions
which determines the changing mix of medium-term notes, commercial paper
and swaps (or other derivatives) used to manage interest rate risk.
At June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the total notional amount of
the Company's interest rate and currency swaps was $2.7 billion and $2.9
billion, respectively. The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's
foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $596.7 million at June
30, 1995, compared with $318.1 million at December 31, 1994. The
notional amount of derivative contracts does not represent direct credit
exposure. Rather, credit exposure may be defined as the market value of
the derivative contract and the ability of the counterparty to perform
its payment obligations under the agreement. The majority of the
Company's interest rate swaps require AT&T Capital to pay a fixed rate
and receive a floating rate. Therefore, this risk is reduced in a
declining interest rate environment as the Company is generally in a
payable position, and is increased in a rising interest rate environment
as the Company is generally in a receivable position. The Company seeks
to control the credit risk of its interest rate swap agreements through
credit approvals, exposure limits and monitoring procedures. All swap
agreements are with major money center banks and intermediaries with an
investment grade rating by nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations, with the majority of the Company's counterparties being
rated "AA" or better.
There were no past due amounts or reserves for credit losses at June
30, 1995 related to derivative transactions. The Company has not
experienced a credit related charge-off associated with derivative
transactions.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 114 ("Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan") and
No. 118 ("Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures") in the first quarter of 1995. These
standards require that impaired loans be measured based on the present
value of expected cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate or, the loans observable market price or, the fair value of the
19 FORM 10-Q
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, as well as certain related
disclosures. The adoption of these statements did not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This statement establishes the
accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be disposed of. This standard is effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, which for the Company
would be 1996. Based upon management's review, the adoption of SFAS No.
121 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position and results of operations.

EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLAN
(As Amended and Restated Effective as of June 14, 1995)
Article I. Establishment and Purposes
1.1 Establishment. AT&T Capital Corporation (hereinafter
"AT&T Capital") heretofore established and presently maintains an
unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan, known as the
"AT&T CAPITAL CORPORATION EXECUTIVE BENEFIT PLAN" (hereinafter
referred to as the "Plan"). The Plan which was initially
effective as of January 1, 1994, is hereby amended and restated,
effective as of June 14, 1995, to reflect recent design changes,
including the addition of change-in-control provisions.
1.2 Purpose. AT&T Capital desires to provide supplemental
retirement benefits for certain individuals who have been in the
employ of AT&T Capital and who are now serving as executive
officers of AT&T Capital. AT&T Capital believes it is in its best
interest that such individuals' services be retained. In order to
induce such individuals to continue in the employ of AT&T Capital
and in recognition of such individuals' service, and in order to
attract qualified executives to AT&T Capital, AT&T Capital hereby
amends and restates the Plan as set forth herein.
The Plan is an unfunded Pension Plan for a "select group of
management and highly-compensated Participants" within the

5.1 Automatic Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity.
(a) General Rule. In lieu of the Retirement Benefits
otherwise payable as a Single Life Annuity under
Article IV hereof, the Retirement Benefit of a married
Participant who is entitled to receive monthly annuity
payments under the Plan shall be payable in the form of
an Automatic Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity unless
he has elected otherwise pursuant to paragraph (b)
below.
(b) Election Procedures.
(1) General Rule. A married Participant may elect in
writing, on a form supplied by the Plan
Administrator, to waive an Automatic Joint and
Surviving Spouse Annuity, and to receive his
Retirement Benefits in the form of a Single Life
Annuity or in accordance with an optional form of
payment described in section 5.2. Any election by
a Participant pursuant to this paragraph (1) must
be filed with the Plan Administrator within the
election period described in paragraph (5). For
such an election to be effective--
(A) the Participant's Beneficiary must consent in
writing to such election; and
(B) such Beneficiary's consent must be witnessed
by a notary public.
(2) Exception to Consent Requirement. The consent of a
Participant's Beneficiary shall not be required
where--
(A) the Participant has elected an Automatic
Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity under
section 5.2;
(B) the Plan Administrator determines that the
required consent cannot be obtained because
there is not a Beneficiary or the
-26-
31 Participant's Beneficiary can not be
located;
(C) the Plan Administrator determines that the
Participant is legally separated;
(D) the Plan Administrator determines that the
Participant has been abandoned within the
meaning of local law and there is a court
order to that effect; or
(E) there exists any other circumstance (as
determined by the Plan Administrator) which
excepts the Participant from the consent
requirement.
(3) Revocation and Modification. An election by a
Participant, pursuant to paragraph (1), to waive
an Automatic Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity
may be revoked by the Participant, in writing,
without the consent of his Beneficiary at any time
during the election period. Any subsequent
election by a Participant to waive an Automatic
Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity or any
subsequent modification of a prior election (other
than a revocation of a waiver of an Automatic
Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity, must comply
with the requirements set forth in paragraph (1)
above, unless a "general consent" has been
executed by the Beneficiary. A Beneficiary's
consent shall be considered a "general consent" if
the following requirements are satisfied--
(A) the consent permits the Participant to waive
the Automatic Joint and Surviving Spouse
Annuity;
(B) the consent permits the Participant to change
the optional form of Retirement Benefit
payment without any requirement of further
consent by the Beneficiary; and
(C) the Beneficiary acknowledges in the consent
that--
-27-
32 (I) he has the right to limit consent to
a specific optional form of benefit, and
(ii) that he voluntarily relinquishes such
right.
(4) Validity of Spousal Consent. Any consent or
election under this section shall be valid only
with respect to the Beneficiary who signs the
consent or, if the Beneficiary's consent is
excused by the Plan Administrator pursuant to
paragraph (2) above, the Beneficiary so excused,
but shall be irrevocable once made.
(5) Election Period. For purposes of this section 5.1,
a Participant's "election period" shall be the
90-day period ending on the Annuity Starting Date.
5.2 Other Optional Forms of Payment. Subject to the
provisions of section 5.1, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, make available to Plan Participants other optional
forms of payment which are the Actuarial Equivalent of the
Retirement Benefit payable to the Participant in a Single Life
Annuity form if a Participant is unmarried as of his Annuity
Starting Date or (b) the Retirement Benefit payable to the
Participant as an Automatic Joint and Surviving Spouse Annuity,
if a Participant is married as of his Annuity Starting Date.
-28-
33 Article VI. Death Benefits
6.1 Preretirement Surviving Spouse Benefits. The surviving
Beneficiary of a married Participant shall be eligible to receive
a surviving spouse annuity benefit under this Article VI if such
Participant dies--
(a) while an Eligible Member hereunder,
(b) after he has attained Early Retirement Age under this
Plan, and
(c) before such Participant's Annuity Starting Date.
6.2 Amount.
(a) Determination of Benefit. The monthly amount of the
automatic preretirement surviving spouse benefit
payable to a Beneficiary eligible therefore pursuant to
section 6.1 shall be defined as follows:
(1) If a married Participant dies after the date on
which such Participant has attained Early
Retirement Age under the Plan, the Participant's
Beneficiary will receive 45 percent of the amount
of the monthly Retirement Benefit that the
Participant would have been entitled to receive if
he had retired with an immediate Automatic Joint
and Surviving Spouse Annuity in effect on the
Participant's date of death under the terms of
this Plan.
(b) Assumptions. For purposes of calculating the automatic
preretirement surviving spouse annuity in paragraph (a)
above, the amount of offset calculated under
sections 4.1(b)(1)(B), 4.1(b)(2)(B), and 4.1(b)(3)(B)
shall be the Single Life Annuity Actuarial Equivalent
of the qualified preretirement spouse benefits, if any,
payable to the surviving spouse under the RSP, the
Excess Plan, the SERP, the AT&T Pension Plan, and the
Nonqualified AT&T Pension Plan as of the Beneficiary's
surviving spouse's Annuity Starting Date (determined
-29-
34
under section 6.3 below).
For purposes of this subsection 6.2(b), the "qualified
preretirement spouse benefit," if any, payable under
the RSP or the Excess Plan, as applicable, shall equal
the annual amount, if any, payable under the RSP or the
Excess Plan in a Single Life Annuity Actuarial
Equivalent form to the surviving spouse as of the
Participant's death, but taking into account only the
"Uniform Points Allocation" credited to the Participant
under the RSP on the Excess Plan and based upon the
Actuarial Assumptions set forth in section 2.2 herein
as of such date.
6.3 Commencement and Duration. The monthly automatic
preretirement surviving spouse benefit shall be payable to the
Beneficiary for life, beginning as of the first day of the
calendar month following the Participant's death.

35 Article VII. Rights of Participants
7.1 Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in sections 7.2
below, a Participant who has--

(b) is an Eligible Member at the time of such Termination
of Employment;
shall have a nonforfeitable right at all times to his Accrued
Benefit as of such Termination of Employment.
(c) Definitions of Vested Retirement Age. For purposes of
this Article VII, the term "Vested Retirement Age"
shall have the meaning given such term under
paragraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable.
(1) Members of CLT. With respect to an Eligible Member
who is either the Chief Executive Officer of AT&T
Capital on January 1, 1994 or a member of the CLT
of AT&T Capital, "Vested Retirement Age" shall
mean the Eligible Member's age when he has
completed five years of Vesting Service; and
(2) SBLs. With respect to an Eligible Member who is
an SBL, "Vested Retirement Age" shall mean the
Eligible Member's age when he has completed 15
years of Vesting Service.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph
(1) above, the Chief Executive Officer of AT&T Capital
on January 1, 1994 shall attain his Vested Retirement
Age hereunder on the date he attains age 55.
7.2 Change in Control and Involuntary Termination
Provisions. In the event of a Change in Control or an Eligible
Member's Termination of Employment (other than as a result of a
Nonqualifying Termination) (a "Vesting Event"), paragraphs (a),
(b), and (c) below shall become operative and the provisions of
sections 2.47 and section 7.1 shall be superseded to the extent
-31-
36
provided below.
(a) Chief Executive Officer and CLT Members on or Prior to
January 1, 1995. A Participant who is the Chief
Executive Officer of AT&T Capital or a member of the
CLT on or prior to January 1, 1995 shall be deemed to
have completed five complete years of Vesting Service
and shall be fully vested in his Accrued Benefit as of
a Vesting Event, whether or not the Participant has
actually completed such Vesting Service for AT&T
Capital (or a successor employer, if any).
(b) CLT Members after January 1, 1995. A Participant who
first became a member of the CLT after January 1, 1995
shall be deemed to have completed a number of complete
years of Vesting Service hereunder equal to the
complete years of Credited Service he has completed as
of a Vesting Event. If such a Participant has been
credited with 15 years of Credited Service as of a
Vesting Event, he shall be fully vested in his Accrued
Benefit as of his Vesting Event, whether or not the
Participant has otherwise attained his Vested
Retirement Age.
(c) SBLs. A Participant who is an SBL of an SBU of
AT&T Capital be deemed to have completed a number of
complete years of Vesting Service hereunder equal to
the complete years of Credited Service he has completed

credited with 20 years of Credited Service as of a
Vesting Event, he shall be fully vested in his Accrued
Benefit as of his Vesting Event, whether or not the
Participant has otherwise attained his Vested
Retirement Age.
7.3 Contractual Obligation.
(a) General Rule. It is intended that AT&T Capital is under
a contractual obligation to pay Retirement Benefits
under Article IV and Article VI when due. Payment of
-32-
37
Retirement Benefits under the Plan shall be made out of
AT&T Capital's general assets or, at the discretion of
the Board, from a grantor trust established by
AT&T Capital to pay Retirement Benefits hereunder.
(b) Statement of AT&T Capital Intention. Notwithstanding
anything in paragraph (a) to the contrary, it is
AT&T Capital's intention to establish an irrevocable
grantor trust and fully fund Retirement Benefits
accrued under this Plan upon a "Change in Control."
7.4 Unsecured Interest. Notwithstanding anything in
section 7.3 to the contrary, no Participant or Beneficiary shall
have any interest whatsoever in any specific asset of
AT&T Capital. To the extent that any person acquires a right to
receive payments under the Plan (or if a grantor trust is
established pursuant to sections 7.3 above, under such grantor
trust), such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of AT&T Capital.
7.5 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of AT&T Capital to terminate any
Participant's employment at any time, nor confer upon any
Participant any right to continue in the employ of AT&T Capital.
-33-
38 Article VIII. Nontransferability
8.1 Nontransferability. In no event shall AT&T Capital make
any payment under the Plan to any assignee or creditor of a
Participant or a Beneficiary. Prior to the time of payment

under the Plan nor shall such rights be assigned or transferred
by operation of law.
-34-

11.1 Tax Withholding. AT&T Capital shall have the right to
deduct from all payments made from the Plan any federal, state,
or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to
such payments.
To the extent a Participant is subject to FICA taxes with respect
to Retirement Benefits accrued but not yet payable under the Plan

withhold from his current Salary amounts thereby due and payable.
-37-

for processing the claim, written notice of an
extension shall be furnished to the claimant prior to
the end of the initial period of 90 days following the
date on which the claim is filed. Such an extension may
not exceed a period of 90 days beyond the end of said
initial period.
If the claim has not been granted, and if written
notice of the denial of the claim is not furnished
within 90 days following the date on which the claim is
filed, the claim shall be deemed denied for the purpose
of proceeding to the claim review procedure.
(c) Claim Review Procedure. The claimant or his authorized
representative shall have 60 days after receipt of
written notification of denial of a claim to request a
-39-
44 review of the denial by making written request to the
Committee, and may review pertinent documents and
submit issues and comments in writing within such
60-day period.
Not later than 60 days after receipt of the request for
review, the Committee shall render and furnish to the
claimant a written decision which shall include specific
reasons for the decision, and shall make specific references
to pertinent Plan provisions upon which it is based. If
special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing, the decision shall be rendered as soon as
possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the
request for review, provided that written notice and
explanation of the delay are given to the claimant prior to
commencement of the extension. Such decision by the
Committee shall not be subject to further review. If a
decision on review is not furnished to a claimant within the
specified time period, the claim shall be deemed to have
been denied on review.
