OUR COMPANY
CIT is a leading global commercial and consumer finance company that has
been a consistent provider of financing and leasing capital since 1908. With
about $48 billion of managed assets, we have the financial resources,
intellectual capital and product knowledge to serve the needs of our clients
across 30 industries. Our clients range from small private companies to many of
the world's largest and most respected multinational corporations. Our market
leadership, balanced credit and risk management culture, strategies of
diversification and specialization, customer oriented financing solutions and
experienced management team have delivered consistent net income growth over
time.
Our commercial lending and leasing businesses are diverse and provide a wide
range of financing and leasing products to small, midsize and larger companies
across a wide variety of industries. Our secured lending, leasing and factoring
products include direct loans and leases, operating leases, leveraged and single
investor leases, secured revolving lines of credit and term loans, credit
protection, accounts receivable collection, import and export financing,
debtor-in-possession and turnaround financing, and acquisition and expansion
financing. Our consumer finance business consists primarily of home equity
lending to consumers originated largely through a network of brokers and
correspondents. The diversity of our products and markets enhances our ability
to manage risk and maintain profitability.
OUR STRENGTHS
BROAD MARKET LEADERSHIP. We have strong franchise businesses with market
scale, including leading positions in vendor financing, factoring and
construction equipment financing. We are also a market leader in financing and
leasing personal computers, telecommunication equipment, office equipment,
industrial equipment, rail cars, and commercial and corporate aircraft. In
addition, we have significant market presence in providing home equity loans to
consumers, asset-based and credit-secured lending and advisory-structured
finance. We also have the number one market position in Small Business
Administration loans.
BALANCED CREDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT CULTURE. We value the importance of
strong risk management as a fundamental attribute to the success of our
business. Such management values balance our credit and risk management with
continued long-term profitable asset growth, a strong and reliable balance sheet
and sensible diversification. Our highly sophisticated risk management systems
and procedures are designed to identify and analyze risks, to set appropriate
policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks. Our risk management
has been tested and refined over several economic cycles.
1
DIVERSIFICATION. Our portfolio of finance receivables, leases and operating
lease equipment is well diversified by: customer, product, industry, geography,
ticket size and equipment. We manage our portfolio to avoid risk concentrations
through up-front origination processes and portfolio management.
SPECIALIZATION. Our businesses are focused on specific customers,
industries, equipment types, collateral and geographic areas. Our personnel are
industry and equipment specialists. They are positioned to deliver their
products with quality and consistency to deliver profitable growth.
CUSTOMER-ORIENTED FINANCING SOLUTIONS. We provide financing solutions that
are integrated with our customers' order entry and inventory management systems
by utilizing a method of seamless origination and processing. Equipment loans,
leases, mortgages, factoring arrangements and other financial products are
originated, approved and processed under delivery systems that are cost
efficient, timely and operate under reliable quality standards. This positioning
allows us to provide financing at all points of a product life cycle, including
the handling and remarketing of equipment. By linking this integration to a
variety of financial structures, we have developed private label, joint venture
and other programs. We are a leading provider of such integrated capabilities
and structures and are one of only a handful of companies that do so. Our
approach to an integrated process has required continuous improvements in
process technology, quality and cost against major competitors in the market.
STRONG, PROVEN MANAGEMENT TEAM. We feel CIT is a unique blend of people and
assets with a proven 94-year history of consistently meeting our goals and
serving our customers' needs through numerous business cycles and changing
business environments. Our senior management team, with over 25 years of finance
industry experience on average and long tenure with CIT, has demonstrated an
ability to profitably grow our business both before and after our acquisition by
Tyco and has successfully implemented significant improvements in our
operational structure.
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY
Our business strategy is to be a leading full-service provider of commercial
and consumer financing and leasing and related services and products through
focused franchise businesses with efficient operating platforms. The principal
elements of our business strategy are to:
MAINTAIN AND LEVERAGE OUR EXISTING MARKET LEADERSHIP POSITIONS TO CONTINUE
TO EXPAND IN EXISTING MARKETS, INDUSTRIES AND PRODUCTS. We will continue to
expand our highly integrated operations of origination, processing, and end of
lease activities by building additional relationships, expanding our sales and
marketing reach, adding complementary products and solutions and improving our
brand recognition in the United States and abroad. We will selectively pursue
strategic acquisition opportunities of both businesses and portfolios of assets
that we believe will enhance our growth and profitability and that can be
integrated into our core franchises.
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OVERALL EFFICIENCY AND FLEXIBILITY. Since being
acquired by Tyco in June 2001, we have reduced annual operating expenses by
approximately $150 million, consolidated some of our businesses to improve our
operational structure, and divested over $5 billion of non-core, less profitable
assets. These improvements have allowed us to achieve and execute our strategic
and financial goals across our operating businesses in a highly effective and
flexible manner. We intend to continue to focus on expense control while
continuously improving our process and investment in technology.
RESTORE DEBT CREDIT RATINGS TO HIGHER LEVELS. Our strategy is to operate
the Company at high credit ratings. While our current long-term debt ratings are
BBB+, A2 and BBB for Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, respectively, we
expect to operate the company to achieve A+, A1 and A+ long-term debt ratings
and A-1, P-1 and F1 commercial paper ratings in the future.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH TYCO
CIT is currently an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco
International Ltd. Tyco has announced that it intends to separate CIT from Tyco,
and that it is considering alternative means for the separation, including a
sale of CIT to a third party, or through this offering.
After completing this offering, Tyco and its affiliates will no longer hold
any of our shares of common stock and will not have representation on our board
of directors. In connection with the offering, we will enter into an agreement
with Tyco providing for mutual releases of claims for periods prior to the
offering and mutual indemnification against third-party claims arising from our
respective businesses or the offering. We will also enter into an agreement with
Tyco covering certain tax matters. In addition, we plan to enter into an
agreement with Tyco under which we may have the opportunity to offer financing
and other services to Tyco and Tyco's customers.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation (which is referred to in
this prospectus as CIT Group Inc. (Nevada)), and is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of TCH, a Nevada corporation, which is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco Capital, a Bermuda company. Prior to the closing of this
offering, Tyco will effectuate a restructuring whereby CIT Group Inc. (Nevada)
will merge with and into TCH, and that combined entity will further merge with
and into CIT Group Inc. (Del), a Delaware corporation. In connection with the
reorganization, CIT Group Inc. (Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As a result
of the reorganization, CIT Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and will be
the successor to CIT's business, operations, obligations and SEC registration.
In connection with the reorganization and mergers described above, CIT Group
Inc. (Nevada) is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of TCH, as
CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. The Delaware
company has had no operations and nominal financial activity and will be used
solely for the purpose of the reincorporation of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). TCH
was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity has been in connection
with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of CIT by Tyco on
June 1, 2001. TCH has not acted as an operating company and immediately prior to
the reorganization will have nominal assets and liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT. TCH's stand-alone historical financial activity is comprised
of intercompany debt payable to an affiliate of Tyco and interest expense
related to the acquisition of CIT, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco
common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. All of the activity
of TCH will be unwound through a capital contribution from Tyco prior to the
reorganization discussed above and TCH's balance sheet will have nominal
balances. The ongoing operations of the registrant will effectively be comprised
of the existing operations of CIT.
On June 1, 2001, CIT, formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and
previously The CIT Group, Inc., was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco in a purchase business combination (see Note 2 to the "Consolidated
Financial Statements" beginning on page F-1). In accordance with the guidelines
for accounting for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco for
CIT plus related purchase accounting adjustments have been "pushed-down" and
recorded in CIT's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to
June 1, 2001. This resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting the fair
market value of CIT's assets and liabilities for the "successor" period
beginning June 2, 2001. Information relating to all "predecessor" periods prior
to the acquisition by Tyco is presented using CIT's historical basis of
accounting.
The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial information
regarding CIT's results of operations and balance sheets. To assist in the
comparability of our financial results the financial information in the
following table combines the "predecessor period" (January 1 through June 1,
2001) with the "successor period" (June 2 through September 30, 2001) to present
"combined" results for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The data
presented below should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and
Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and the "Consolidated Financial
Statements" included elsewhere in this prospectus.
RESTATEMENT--The Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The restatement to the financial
statements herein reflects an impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," resulting in an estimated goodwill
impairment charge of $4.51 billion. This restatement has no impact on previously
reported operating margin or net cash provided by operations for any periods.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and
Note 6, "Accounting Change--Goodwill Amortization" in the

Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2002

(1) In September 2001, CIT changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to
September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal year end.
(2) On September 30, 2001, we sold certain international subsidiaries, which
had assets of $1.8 billion and liabilities of $1.5 billion, to a non-U.S.
subsidiary of Tyco for a note in the amount of approximately $295 million.
This sale did not affect earnings for the period ended September 30, 2001.
On February 11, 2002, we repurchased the international subsidiaries that we
had previously sold to an affiliate of Tyco. The summary financial data
includes these international operations for all periods presented; as a
result, the Balance Sheet Data at September 30, 2001 varies slightly from
comparable data reported in CIT's Form 10-K for the period ended
September 30, 2001.
(3) Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001

computed by dividing net (loss) income for each period by 200,316,302

share equivalents expected to be issued prior to the closing of the
offering.

assets.
(9) Average Earning Assets is the average of finance receivables, operating

RISK FACTORS
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RISKS, AND THE
OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS PROSPECTUS. THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT
THE ONLY ONES FACING US. ADDITIONAL RISKS THAT ARE PRESENTLY UNKNOWN TO US OR
THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS.
RISKS RELATED TO CIT'S BUSINESS
WE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY A GENERAL DETERIORATION IN ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be affected
by various economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the
markets in which we operate. Unfavorable economic conditions may make it more
difficult for us to maintain both our new business origination volume and the
credit quality of new business at levels previously attained. Our growth depends
significantly upon our ability to generate new finance receivables, and in a
recession or other adverse economic environment, growth in our finance
receivables may be limited by a decrease in demand for consumer or commercial
credit or by a decline in collateral values. Delinquencies, foreclosures and
credit losses generally increase during economic slowdowns or recessions.
We are also subject to industry-specific economic factors. An economic
downturn or slowdown in an industry could reduce demand for the financing we
provide for products of that industry. For example, our factoring business could
decline if there is a downturn in the retail textile, apparel, furniture or home
furnishings markets. At March 31, 2002, 5.1% of our total financing and leasing
assets related to obligations of retailers (12.7% including the trade
receivables securitized and managed by CIT), 11.6% related to commercial airline
obligations and 4.6% related to home equity obligations. Adverse economic
conditions in the markets or industries that we serve could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.
In a recession or under other adverse economic conditions, nonearning assets
and writedowns are likely to increase as debtors fail to meet their payment
obligations. Although we maintain a consolidated reserve for credit losses in an
amount that we believe is sufficient to provide adequate protection against
potential writedowns in our portfolio, this allowance could prove to be
insufficient. Adverse economic conditions may impair our ability to re-lease or
remarket our leased equipment or other collateral securing our finance
receivables and realize the value at which we carry our leased assets and/or
estimated lease residual values on our books.
A recession or downturn could contribute to a downgrading of our credit
ratings. A ratings downgrade likely would increase our funding costs, and could
decrease our net finance income, limit our access to the capital markets or
result in a decision by the lenders under our existing bank credit facilities
not to extend such credit facilities after their expiration.
The broad-based economic slowdown in 2001 led to increases in both past-due
loans and non-performing assets. We have experienced increases in our commercial
past-due loans and non-performing assets across a wide range of industries,
including trucking, construction, retail and technology, as well as
manufacturing and machine tools. Continued weak economic conditions have
recently resulted in higher charge-offs in virtually all of our business
segments. Our reserve for credit losses as a percentage of finance receivables
has increased significantly as a result of continuing general economic weakness
and uncertainty in Argentina. In addition, our new origination volume has
recently declined due in part to soft economic conditions. We can provide no
assurance regarding when economic conditions will strengthen, or that these
trends will improve when the economy begins to grow again.
OUR LIQUIDITY OR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL MAY BE LIMITED.
Our primary funding sources have historically been commercial paper,
medium-term notes and asset-backed securities. We also maintain committed bank
lines of credit to provide liquidity support of commercial paper borrowings and
to support our international operations. An additional source of
7
liquidity is cash flow from operations, including loan and lease payments from
customers, whole loan sales and syndications.
Following Tyco's announcement on January 22, 2002 of its plans to separate
into four independent, publicly-traded companies and other related events, we
experienced a downgrade in our credit ratings by Standard & Poor's and Fitch.
While we continue to maintain investment-grade ratings, these events limited our
access to the commercial paper market.
On February 5, 2002, we drew on our $8.5 billion in unsecured bank credit
facilities, which have historically been maintained as liquidity support for our
commercial paper programs. The proceeds from these bank lines are being used to
pay down outstanding commercial paper at the scheduled maturities. The cost of
the bank loans is higher than the cost of commercial paper, and will adversely
affect our future operating results. While we expect to return to the commercial
paper market at some point in the future with a dealer-based program, we can
provide no assurance that we will be able to access that market on favorable
terms in the future or at the levels previously attained. We exercised our one
year term-out option on a portion of our unsecured bank credit facilities, which
will increase our cost of funds.
We will likely need to effect debt or equity financings in the future. The
type, timing and terms of financing selected by us will depend upon our cash
needs, the availability of other financing sources and the prevailing conditions
in the financial markets. While we have recently accessed the debt markets as
described in "Recent Developments," there can be no assurance that any of these
sources will be available to us at any given time or that they will be available
on favorable terms. On June 7, 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded our long-term
debt rating from A- to BBB+, and on June 10, 2002, Fitch downgraded our
long-term debt rating from A- to BBB. There can be no assurance that there will
not be a further downgrade in our credit ratings in the future or, if such
downgrading does occur, that it will not result in an increase in our interest
expense or have an adverse impact on our ability to access the commercial paper
market or the public and private debt markets.
SIGNIFICANT INCREASES OR DECREASES IN PREVAILING INTEREST RATES COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Our operating results and cash flow depend to a great extent upon our level
of net finance income, which is the difference between total finance income
earned on earning assets, such as loans and investments, and total interest
expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as borrowings. The amount of
net finance income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of earning
assets, the rates earned on those assets, the volume of interest-bearing
liabilities and the rates paid on those interest-bearing liabilities.
Although we have an active and comprehensive approach to managing our
interest rate risk, including matching the repricing characteristics of our
assets with our liabilities, significant increases in market interest rates, or
the perception that an increase may occur, could adversely affect both our
ability to originate new finance receivables and our ability to grow.
Conversely, a decrease in interest rates could result in an acceleration in the
prepayment of owned and managed finance receivables. In addition, changes in
market interest rates, or in the relationships between short-term and long-term
market interest rates, or between different interest rate indices (I.E., basis
risk) could affect the interest rates charged on interest-earning assets
differently than the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which
could result in an increase in interest expense relative to finance income. An
increase in market interest rates also could adversely impact the ability of our
floating-rate borrowers to meet their higher payment obligations, which could
result in an increase in nonearning assets and writedowns.
8
INVESTMENT IN AND REVENUES FROM OUR FOREIGN OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING FOREIGN CURRENCIES.
Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can have a material adverse
effect on the investment in international operations and the level of
international revenues that we generate from international asset-based financing
and leasing. Reported results from our operations in foreign countries may
fluctuate from period to period due to exchange rate movements in relation to
the U.S. dollar, particularly exchange rate movements in the Canadian dollar,
which is our largest non-U.S. exposure. In addition, an economic recession or
downturn or increased competition in the international markets in which we
operate could adversely affect us. Other risks inherent in conducting
international business operations generally include political and macro-economic
instability, changes in regulatory requirements and taxes, unreliability of
judicial processes, financial market instability and illiquidity. There can be
no assurance that one or more of these factors will not have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations. In
addition, instability or adverse economic conditions in international markets
may adversely affect the businesses of our domestic customers, which could
adversely affect such customers' demand for our products.
At March 31, 2002, we had approximately $180 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated loans and assets outstanding to customers located or doing
business in Argentina. The Argentine government has recently instituted economic
reforms, including the conversion of certain dollar-denominated loans into
pesos. We are currently assessing the impact of these government actions on our
U.S. dollar-denominated loans and assets and reserve for credit losses. If the
Argentine government does not reverse its action, or if the governments of other
foreign jurisdictions take any similar actions, it could have an adverse impact
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of March 31,
2002, our exposure in Argentina was approximately $180 million and we recorded a
$95.0 million provision to reserve for Argentina-related receivables.
OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE WERE UNABLE TO
COMPLETE SECURITIZATIONS.
We fund most of our assets on our balance sheet using our access to the
medium-term note and capital markets. In an effort to broaden our funding
sources and to provide an additional source of liquidity, we have in place an
array of securitization programs to access both the public and private
asset-backed securitization markets. Under a typical asset-backed
securitization, we sell a "pool" of secured loans or leases to a special-purpose
entity, generally a trust. The special-purpose entity, in turn, typically issues
certificates and/or notes that are collateralized by the pool and entitle the
holders thereof to participate in certain pool cash flows. Several factors will
affect our ability to complete securitizations, including:
- conditions in the securities markets, generally;
- conditions in the asset-backed securities markets;
- the credit quality and performance of our financial instruments;
- our ability to obtain third-party credit enhancement;
- our ability to adequately service our financial instruments; and
- the absence of any material downgrading or withdrawal of ratings given to
securities previously issued in our securitizations.
In a securitization transaction, a gain on sale and a related retained
interest in the securitized pool are recognized when the assets being
securitized are sold. The value of the retained interest recognized in a
securitization transaction is dependent upon certain assumptions regarding
future performance of the securitized portfolio, including the level of credit
losses and the rate of prepayments. If actual credit losses or prepayment rates
differ from the original assumptions, the value of the retained interest in the
securitized pool may increase or decrease materially. The value of the retained
interest in the securitized pool may also increase or decrease materially with
changes in market interest rates. Also, if
9
assets being securitized are not properly hedged, the gain on sale recorded in a
securitization transaction may be affected by changes in market interest rates
between the time the assets being securitized are originated and the time the
assets are sold to the securitization entity.
Changes in the volume of assets securitized or decreases in the value of
retained interests in securitizations due to changes in market interest rates or
higher than expected credit losses on prepayments could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REALIZE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE EQUIPMENT WE LEASE.
We lease various types of equipment to customers through two distinct types
of transactions: capital leases and operating leases. A capital lease passes
substantially all of the risks and rewards of owning the related equipment to
the customer. Lease payments during the initial terms of a capital lease cover
approximately 90% of the underlying equipment's cost at the inception of the
lease. The realization of unrecovered equipment values (residual values) at the
end of the term of a lease is an important element in the leasing business. The
duration of an operating lease, however, is substantially shorter relative to
the equipment's useful life. We bear greater risk in operating leases as we may
not be able to remarket the equipment on terms that will allow us to fully
recover our operating lease equipment carrying values.
At the inception of each capital lease, we record a residual value for the
leased equipment based on our estimate of the future value of the equipment at
the expected disposition date. Residual values are determined by experienced
internal equipment management specialists, as well as external consultants. We
also record periodic depreciation expense on operating lease equipment based
upon estimates of the equipment's useful life and the estimated future value of
the equipment at the end of its useful life. A decrease in the market value of
leased equipment at a rate greater than the rate we projected, whether due to
rapid technological or economic obsolescence, unusual wear and tear on, or use
of, the equipment or other factors, would adversely affect the residual values
of such equipment. Consequently, there can be no assurance that our estimated
residual values for equipment will be realized.
CONTINUED WEAKNESS IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT THE
VALUE OF OUR TELECOMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO.
Our telecommunications portfolio is approximately $685 million at March 31,
2002, and includes approximately $294 million of Competitive Local Exchange
Carrier (CLEC) accounts. The highly competitive telecommunications industry has
experienced over-capacity and substantial decline over the past year, which has
resulted in considerable weakness in asset values in the sector. Our CLEC
portfolio includes many companies which are in the process of building out their
networks and developing their customer bases. Therefore, these companies are
more vulnerable to the overall industry decline.
We believe that our loan loss reserves relating to the telecommunications
portfolio are adequate. However, continued deterioration in the sector could
result in losses beyond current reserve levels.
OUR RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES MAY PROVE INADEQUATE.
Our business depends on the creditworthiness of our customers. We believe
that our credit risk management systems are adequate to limit our credit losses
to a manageable level. We attempt to mitigate credit risks through the use of a
corporate credit risk management group, formal credit management processes
implemented by each business unit and automated credit scoring capabilities for
small ticket business.
We maintain a consolidated reserve for credit losses on finance receivables.
Our consolidated reserve for credit losses reflects management's judgment of
losses inherent in the portfolio.
10
Management periodically reviews our consolidated reserve for adequacy
considering economic conditions and trends, collateral values and credit quality
indicators, including past charge-off experience and levels of past due loans
and non-performing assets.
The consolidated reserve for credit losses is intended to provide for losses
inherent in the portfolio, which requires the application of estimates and
significant judgment as to the ultimate outcome of collection efforts and
realization of collateral, among other things. We cannot be certain that our
consolidated reserve for credit losses will be adequate over time to cover
credit losses in our portfolio because of unanticipated adverse changes in the
economy or events adversely affecting specific customers, industries or markets.
If the credit quality of our customer base materially decreases, or if our
reserves for credit losses are not adequate, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may suffer.
OUR COMMERCIAL AIRLINE FINANCING BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE
EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 AND THE WEAK ECONOMY.
A portion of the Capital Finance business within our Equipment Financing and
Leasing segment involves providing financing to commercial airlines. The Capital
Finance aerospace portfolio includes most of the leading U.S. and foreign
commercial airlines, with a fleet of approximately 200 aircraft, with an average
age of nine years.
The Capital Finance business may be adversely affected by the challenges
faced by the airline industry due to a combination of the terrorist attacks on
September 11, 2001 and the current worldwide economic slowdown. Airlines face a
number of increased costs, including higher insurance premiums and security
costs, while also experiencing a reduction in demand. As a result of these
circumstances, some airlines have taken aircraft out of service, sought to
restructure their fixed costs, including their debt and lease payments, and
sought protection from creditors in bankruptcy. Accordingly, we have experienced
some rental reductions or disruptions. Our portfolio could be adversely affected
by these factors, resulting in, among other effects, declines in the value of
aircraft, delays in payments on existing financings and reduced new business
origination.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REALIZE THE ENTIRE BOOK VALUE OF GOODWILL.
We have $2.4 billion of goodwill, net, at March 31, 2002. We implemented the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on October 1, 2001. Since adoption,
existing goodwill is no longer amortized, but instead will be assessed annually
for impairment or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We
have determined that there was no impact of adopting this standard under the
transition provisions of SFAS No. 142.
We have restated our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,
2002 to reflect an estimated impairment of our goodwill of $4.51 billion. We
will continue with our analysis of goodwill impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 142 during the quarter ending June 30, 2002. In the event that the book
value of goodwill, net, is impaired, any such impairment would be charged to
earnings in the period of impairment. An impairment by itself does not impact
our total tangible capitalization, although our total capitalization as reported
is affected by the goodwill impairment.
OUR POTENTIAL ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES OR ASSET PORTFOLIOS IN
THE FUTURE MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
As part of our long-term business strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of
other companies or asset portfolios. In addition, as we have done recently, we
may dispose of non-strategic businesses or asset portfolios. Future acquisitions
may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and the
incurrence of additional debt, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. Future acquisitions
could involve numerous additional risks,
11
including: difficulties in integrating the operations, services, products and
personnel of the acquired company; the diversion of management's attention from
other business concerns; entering markets in which we have little or no direct
prior experience; and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired
company. In addition, acquired businesses and asset portfolios may have
credit-related risks arising from substantially different underwriting standards
associated with those businesses or assets. In the event of future dispositions
of our businesses or asset portfolios, there can be no assurance that we will
receive adequate consideration for those businesses or assets at the time of
their disposition or will be able to adequately replace the volume associated
with the businesses or asset portfolios that we dispose of with higher-yielding
businesses or asset portfolios having acceptable risk characteristics. As a
result, our future disposition of businesses or asset portfolios could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
WE COMPETE WITH A VARIETY OF FINANCING SOURCES FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
Our markets are highly competitive and are characterized by competitive
factors that vary based upon product and geographic region. Our competitors
include captive and independent finance companies, commercial banks and thrift
institutions, industrial banks, leasing companies, manufacturers and vendors
with global reach. Substantial financial services networks have been formed by
insurance companies and bank holding companies that compete with us. On a local
level, community banks and smaller independent finance and mortgage companies
are a competitive force.
Competition from both traditional competitors and new market entrants has
intensified in recent years due to a strong economy, growing marketplace
liquidity and increasing recognition of the attractiveness of the commercial
finance markets. In addition, the rapid expansion of the securitization markets
is dramatically reducing the difficulty in obtaining access to capital, which is
the principal barrier to entry into these markets. This is further intensifying
competition in certain market segments, including increasing competition from
specialized securitization lenders which offer aggressive pricing terms.
We compete primarily on the basis of pricing, terms and structure. Our
competitors seek to compete aggressively on the basis of these factors and we
may lose market share to the extent we are unwilling to match our competitors'
pricing, terms and structure in order to maintain interest margins and/or credit
standards. To the extent that we match competitors' pricing, terms or structure,
we may experience decreased interest margins and/or increased risk of credit
losses. Many of our competitors are large companies that have substantial
capital, technological and marketing resources, and some of these competitors
are larger than us and may have access to capital at a lower cost than us.
Further, the size and access to capital of certain of our competitors are being
enhanced by the continued consolidation activity in the commercial and
investment banking industries.
OUR BUSINESS MAY BE AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY THE HIGHLY REGULATED ENVIRONMENT IN
WHICH WE OPERATE.
Our domestic operations are subject, in certain instances, to supervision
and regulation by state and federal authorities and may be subject to various
laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing various requirements and
restrictions. Such regulation and supervision are primarily for the benefit and
protection of our customers, and not for the benefit of investors, and could
limit our discretion in operating our businesses. For example, state laws often
establish maximum allowable finance charges for certain consumer and commercial
loans. Noncompliance with applicable statutes or regulations could result in the
suspension or revocation of any license or registration at issue, as well as the
imposition of civil fines and criminal penalties.
The financial services industry is heavily regulated in many jurisdictions
outside the United States. The varying requirements of these jurisdictions may
be inconsistent with U.S. rules and may adversely affect our business or limit
our ability to expand our international operations. We may not be able to obtain
necessary regulatory approvals, or if approvals are obtained, we may not be able
to continue to comply with the terms of the approvals or applicable regulations.
In addition, in many countries, the
12
regulations applicable to the financial services industry are uncertain and
evolving, and it may be difficult for us to determine the exact regulatory
requirements.
Our inability to remain in compliance with regulatory requirements in a
particular jurisdiction could have a material adverse effect on our operations
in that market and on our reputation generally. No assurance can be given that
applicable laws or regulations will not be amended or construed differently,
that new laws and regulations will not be adopted or that we will not be
prohibited by state laws from raising interest rates above certain desired
levels, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
WE HAVE ANTI-TAKEOVER DEFENSES THAT COULD DELAY OR PREVENT AN ACQUISITION OF CIT
AND COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES.
Certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law which we did not
opt out of and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and
by-laws may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing hostile
takeovers, including those that might result in a premium being paid over the
market price of our common stock, and discouraging, delaying or preventing
changes in control or management of CIT.
We have not opted out of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
which prohibits us from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested
stockholder" (generally defined as a stockholder who becomes a beneficial owner
of 15% of more of our voting stock) for a three-year period following the date
that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a manner prescribed under Section 203.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the approval of certain
matters requires the vote of holders of 66 2/3% of our outstanding capital stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors. These matters include amending,
repealing or adopting of by-laws by the stockholders, removing directors (which
is permitted for cause only) and amending, repealing or adopting any provision
that is inconsistent with certain provisions of our certificate of
incorporation. Further, our certificate of incorporation requires that any
action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at
a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders and may not be
effected by a consent in writing. Special meetings of our stockholders may be
called only by our board of directors. In addition, our by-laws establish
advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the
nomination of candidates for election as directors. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Anti-takeover Effects of Delaware General Corporation Law and Certain
Charter Provisions."
RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK SINCE TYCO ACQUIRED US IN
JUNE 2001, AND THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR SHARES MAY FLUCTUATE.
Our common stock will not be publicly traded prior to the offering date.
After the offering date, the public market will establish trading prices for our
common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common
stock will develop or be sustained.
The price of our common stock after this offering may fluctuate widely,
depending upon many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:
- the perceived prospects of our business and the financial services
industry in general;
- differences between our actual financial and operating results and those
expected by investors and analysts;
- changes in analysts' recommendations or projections;
- actions or announcements by our competitors;
- regulatory actions;
13
- changes in general economic or market conditions; and
- broad market fluctuations.
In addition, stock markets generally experience significant price and volume
volatility from time to time which may adversely affect the market price of the
common stock for reasons unrelated to our performance.
YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS BECAUSE OUR HISTORICAL
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION MAY NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR RESULTS AS A
SEPARATE COMPANY.
The historical consolidated financial information included in this
prospectus is not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations,
financial position and cash flows. We have not made adjustments to this
information to reflect changes that will occur in our cost structure, funding or
operations as a result of our separation from Tyco, including changes in our
financing and increased costs associated with being a public, stand-alone
company. Further, in connection with the reorganization described under
"Corporate Structure and Reorganization," CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is reflected
in the consolidated financial statements of TCH as CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. In addition, this prospectus includes separate
financial information for CIT Group Inc. (Del) on a stand-alone basis and CIT
Group Inc. on a consolidated basis. TCH has not acted as an operating company
and immediately prior to the reorganization will have nominal assets and
liabilities, other than its investment in CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). However,
TCH's financial statements currently reflect an intercompany loan payable to an
affiliate of Tyco and interest expense related to the acquisition of CIT, which
will be satisfied prior to consummation of the reorganization, and TCH also
facilitated the delivery of Tyco common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco
Inc. shares. As a result, the historical financial information including TCH is
not indicative of the future results of operations, financial position and cash
flows of CIT following the offering.
EACH OF THE SEPARATION AND THE TAX AGREEMENTS CONTAINS INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATIONS OF TYCO THAT TYCO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SATISFY, WHICH COULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON US.
The separation agreement allocates responsibility between Tyco and us for
various liabilities and obligations. The separation agreement provides that each
party will indemnify the other against third-party claims relating to or arising
out of their respective businesses. The tax agreement provides that Tyco will
indemnify us against certain income-based tax related liabilities, including any
income-based tax liabilities imposed on TCH or CIT Group Inc. (Del) (in each
case determined on a non-consolidated basis) for periods or partial periods
ending on or prior to the date that CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) merges with TCH and
certain income-based tax liabilities imposed as a result of that merger or TCH's
merger with us. Tyco will also indemnify us for any penalties imposed on us
resulting from the late filing of U.S. federal income tax returns that were
prepared by or under the direction of Tyco on our behalf and from late payments
related to those returns and any liability for U.S. federal income taxes and
income taxes of New York, New Jersey and any other state for which a unitary
return was filed resulting from a tax position reflected on any applicable tax
return prepared by or under the direction of Tyco on our behalf which was taken
by Tyco in a manner inconsistent with our past practices. Tyco will not
indemnify us, however, for any tax liability resulting from a claim for refund
filed by or on behalf of the predecessor of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) on May 30,
2002.
The availability of these indemnities will depend upon the future financial
strength of Tyco and us. If Tyco were unable to fund these indemnities if they
should arise, our financial condition could be adversely affected.
14
THE SALE OR AVAILABILITY FOR SALE OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK
COULD CAUSE OUR STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE OR IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock after the
offering, or the public perception that these sales may occur, could depress the
market price of our common stock and could materially impair our ability to
raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Immediately
after the offering, 200,316,302 shares of our common stock will be outstanding
(or 220,316,302 shares if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in
connection with the offering in full). Immediately after the offering, all of
the 200,000,000 shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, unless
held by our "affiliates," as that term is defined by the SEC and, if applicable,
subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements described below. Upon completion
of this offering, 316,302 shares of CIT restricted stock will be issued in
substitution for Tyco restricted shares. In addition, in connection with the
offering, we will issue options to purchase an aggregate of 15,541,432 shares of
our common stock; of those options, options to purchase 4,002,796 shares will be
immediately exercisable upon completion of this offering. We intend to register
the issuance of the shares of CIT restricted stock and the shares underlying our
options on Form S-8. Accordingly, such shares of CIT restricted stock and shares
purchased upon exercise of the options will be available for sale in the public
market, subject to the vesting restrictions on the restricted shares, the
limitation on the resale of our shares by "affiliates" under Rule 144 and the
restrictions imposed under the terms of the lock-up agreements described below.
We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs &
Co. and Lehman Brothers Inc., as the representatives of the underwriters, we
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or dispose of any common stock or
any securities which may be converted into or exchanged for any common stock for
a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus (other than (x) pursuant
to any employee benefit plan or stock option plan described in this prospectus,
or (y) common stock issued as consideration in acquisitions, provided that the
aggregate amount of common stock issued in such acquisitions does not exceed 10%
of our shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this
offering and provided further that any recipient of 10% or more of the shares
issued as consideration in any single acquisition of a business or entity that
is not publicly held shall agree in writing to be bound by the lock-up agreement
for the remainder of the 180-day period). All of our executive officers and
directors have agreed under lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written
consent of the representatives of the underwriters, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities which may
be converted into or exchanged or exercised for any common stock for a period of
180 days from the date of this prospectus. The lock-up agreements described
above may be released at any time as to all or any portion of the common stock
subject to such agreements at the sole discretion of the representatives of the
underwriters.
An aggregate of 27,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for
issuance under our benefit plans, including the shares described above. We
intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 covering the sale of the
shares of common stock issued under the benefit plans. Accordingly, shares of
common stock registered under any such registration statement will be available
for sale in the public market upon issuance of such shares of common stock
pursuant to the respective plan, unless such shares of common stock are subject
to vesting restrictions, subject to limitation on resale by "affiliates"
pursuant to Rule 144 or subject to the lock-up agreements described above.
15
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this prospectus are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in
nature are forward-looking and the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect,"
"estimate" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, in
press releases, written statements or other documents filed with the SEC or in
communications and discussions with investors and analysts in the normal course
of business through meetings, webcasts, phone calls and conference calls,
concerning our operations, economic performance and financial condition are
subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and contingencies.
Forward-looking statements are included, for example, in the discussions about:
- our liquidity risk management,
- our credit risk management,
- our asset/liability risk management,
- our capital, leverage and credit ratings,
- our operational and legal risks,
- how we may be affected by legal proceedings, and
- our separation from Tyco and our relationship with Tyco following the
separation.
All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or
achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or
achievements. Also, forward-looking statements are based upon management's
estimates of fair values and of future costs, using currently available
information. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied in those statements. Factors that could cause such
differences include, but are not limited to:
- the factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in
this prospectus,
- risks of economic slowdown, downturn or recession,
- industry cycles and trends,
- risks inherent in changes in market interest rates,
- funding opportunities and borrowing costs,
- changes in funding markets, including commercial paper, term debt and the
asset-backed securitization markets,
- uncertainties associated with risk management, including credit,
prepayment, asset/liability, interest rate and currency risks,
- adequacy of reserves for credit losses,
- risks associated with the value and recoverability of leased equipment and
lease residual values,
- risks associated with the potential further impairment of our goodwill,
- changes in regulations governing our business and operations or
permissible activities,
- changes in competitive factors, and
- future acquisitions and dispositions of businesses or asset portfolios.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our shares of
common stock by Tyco Capital; however, if the underwriters exercise their
over-allotment option, we will receive the proceeds from the sale of shares
pursuant to such exercise. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option in full, we estimate that we will receive approximately $441,600,000 from
the sale of shares pursuant to such exercise after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions. We will use the net proceeds from any such sale of
shares by us to the underwriters for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of outstanding indebtedness.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Since Tyco acquired us in June 2001, we have not declared any cash dividends
on our common stock. The indentures for our public debt securities were amended
in February 2002 to prohibit payments of dividends to Tyco. These provisions do
not apply if Tyco owns less than 50% of our common stock as long as at least
two-thirds of the members of our board of directors are not affiliated with
Tyco. We anticipate that these provisions will not restrict our payment of
dividends once the offering is complete since Tyco will no longer have a direct
or indirect equity interest in CIT.
Following our initial public offering in November 1997 and prior to the
acquisition by Tyco, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, except for
the first quarter of 1998. Our policy will be to pay a modest dividend while
retaining a strong capital base. We anticipate that the initial dividend rate
will be $0.12 per share per quarter. The declaration and payment of future
dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Any
determination as to the payment of dividends, including the level of dividends,
will depend on, among other things, general economic and business conditions,
our strategic and operational plans, our financial results and condition,
contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by
us, and such other factors as the board of directors may consider to be
relevant.
CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND REORGANIZATION
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation and is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH, a Nevada corporation, which is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco Capital, a Bermuda company. All of these
entities are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco. Prior to the closing
of this offering, Tyco will effecuate a restructuring whereby CIT Group Inc.
(Nevada) will merge with and into TCH, and that combined entity will further
merge with and into CIT Group Inc. (Del), a Delaware corporation. In connection
with the reorganization, CIT Group Inc. (Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As
a result of the reorganization, CIT Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and
will be the successor to CIT's business, operations, obligations and SEC
registration.
In connection with and effective upon the closing of this offering, Tyco
will also cause to be redeemed all of the outstanding exchangeable shares of CIT
Exchangeco Inc., presently a subsidiary of CIT. Each exchangeable share of CIT
Exchangeco is currently exchangeable for 0.6907 of a Tyco common share, which
was the exchange ratio in Tyco's acquisition of CIT. This redemption and the
elimination of the CIT Exchangeco structure will be completed pursuant to the
terms of the agreements governing CIT Exchangeco. These Exchangeco shares are
included in the caption "Tyco Investment" in the capitalization table below. The
redemption will not impact CIT's capitalization.
17
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our capitalization as of March 31, 2002:
- on an actual combined basis, reflecting the combined capitalization of CIT
Group Inc. (Nevada), TCH and CIT Group Inc. (Del);
- on a pro forma basis to (1) exclude the intercompany debt and other
activities of TCH and CIT Group Inc. (Del), as these companies will have
nominal assets and liabilities and other balance sheet items prior to
their mergers with CIT Group Inc. and (2) reflect issuance of an
additional $2.5 billion in CIT term debt on April 1, 2002, which is
assumed to repay a portion of CIT term debt outstanding at March 31, 2002;
and
- on an as adjusted basis to reflect the pro forma assumptions described
above and (1) the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of our common stock in
connection with the offering, (2) the issuance of 316,302 shares of
restricted common stock to be issued to CIT officers and employees in
substitution for Tyco restricted shares held by such persons and (3) the
reorganization described in "Corporate Structure and Reorganization."
This table should be read in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated
Historical Financial Data of CIT," our Consolidated Financial Statements and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk" which
are included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(1) Excludes (1) 15,541,432 shares of common stock that will be subject to
options to be granted to CIT officers, directors and employees concurrent
with this offering and (2) 20,000,000 shares of common stock issuable by us
upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
(2) This pro forma calculation was derived using the 200,316,302 common shares
expected to be outstanding immediately after this offering.
CIT has estimated the incremental increase to interest expense relating to
funding transactions occurring during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and the
April 1, 2002 funding transaction presented in the pro forma capitalization
table as follows. These estimates are based on current facts and circumstances,
including market interest rates and the following events:
- The $2.5 billion debt issuance on April 1, 2002 and the planned repayment
of maturing fixed-rate debt outstanding.
- The $8.5 billion draw of our bank facilities on February 5, 2002 and the
subsequent repayment of maturing commercial paper.
- Incremental costs associated with the $2.2 billion in securitization
facilities completed during February and March 2002.
If the above transactions had been consummated on April 1, 2001, the impact
on interest expense for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002 would have been
an increase of approximately $50 million after tax.
This pro forma estimate was calculated assuming that at January 1, 2001 the
proceeds of the April 2002 $2.5 billion debt issuance were used to refinance an
equal amount of fixed-rate debt next maturing following the April 2002 issuance.
Such maturing notes had a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.60%.
The pro forma estimate also includes (1) approximately 40 basis points of
incremental annual interest expense in connection with the bank facility draw
relative to the interest expense associated with the commercial paper paid with
the proceeds of such draw and (2) incremental costs associated with the
above-mentioned securitization facilities.
The actual increase in costs will depend upon numerous factors, including
the actual amounts borrowed, future market interest rates, hedging strategies
and other initiatives, including the Company's plans to re-access the commercial
paper market, as well as the excess liquidity that is maintained during this
transition period. For additional information regarding our liquidity, see

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 1, 2002, CIT completed a $2.5 billion debt offering. CIT sold
$1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due April 2,
2007 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior notes due
April 2, 2012. CIT has determined that the proceeds will be used to repay a
portion of existing term debt at maturity.
On June 3, 2002, Tyco announced that L. Dennis Kozlowski had resigned as
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Tyco. Tyco announced that at
the request of Tyco's Board, John F. Fort, III would assume primary executive
responsibilities during an interim period while a search for a permanent
replacement is completed.
On June 7, 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating
from A- to BBB+. Standard & Poor's ratings of CIT's debt remain on watch status
with developing implications.
On June 10, 2002, Fitch downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating from A- to
BBB. All of the Company's Fitch ratings remain on watch status.
Tyco has entered into an agreement to acquire McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath"),
a rental provider of modular offices and classrooms and electronic test
equipment, in a transaction in which the consideration would be a combination of
cash and Tyco common shares. Prior to developing the plan to separate CIT from
Tyco, Tyco intended to integrate McGrath's business with CIT's business.
However, if the acquisition is completed pursuant to the acquisition agreement,
Tyco currently would expect to retain McGrath as a part of its business.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA OF CIT
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation (which is referred to in
this prospectus as CIT Group Inc. (Nevada)) and is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of TCH, a Nevada corporation, which is a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco Capital, a Bermuda company. Prior to the closing of this
offering, Tyco will effectuate a restructuring whereby CIT Group Inc. (Nevada)
will merge with and into TCH, and that combined entity will further merge with
and into CIT Group Inc. (Del), a Delaware corporation. In connection with the
reorganization, CIT Group Inc. (Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As a result
of the reorganization, CIT Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and will be
the successor to CIT's business, operations, obligations and SEC registration.
In connection with the reorganization and mergers described above, CIT Group
Inc. (Nevada) is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of TCH, as
CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. The Delaware
company has had no operations and nominal financial activity and will be used
solely for the purpose of the reincorporation of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). TCH
was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity has been in connection
with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of CIT by Tyco on
June 1, 2001. TCH has not acted as an operating company and immediately prior to
the reorganization will have nominal assets and liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT. TCH's stand-alone historical financial activity is comprised
of intercompany debt payable to an affiliate of Tyco and interest expense
related to the acquisition of CIT, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco
common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. All of the activity
of TCH will be unwound through a capital contribution from Tyco prior to the
reorganization discussed above and TCH's balance sheet will have nominal
balances. The ongoing operations of the registrant will effectively be comprised
of the existing operations of CIT.
On June 1, 2001, CIT, formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and
previously The CIT Group, Inc., was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco in a purchase business combination (see Note 2 to the "Consolidated
Financial Statements" beginning on page F-1). In accordance with the guidelines
for accounting for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco for
CIT plus related purchase accounting adjustments have been "pushed-down" and
recorded in CIT's consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to
June 1, 2001. This resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting the fair
market value of CIT's assets and liabilities for the "successor" period
beginning June 2, 2001. Information relating to all "predecessor" periods prior
to the acquisition by Tyco is presented using CIT's historical basis of
accounting.
The following tables set forth selected consolidated financial information
regarding CIT's results of operations and balance sheets. The financial data at
and for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were derived from the
unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of CIT included elsewhere in this
prospectus. The financial data at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 2000 were derived from the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements of CIT included elsewhere in this prospectus. The financial
data at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1998 were derived from audited financial statements
not presented in this prospectus. To assist in the comparability of our
financial results the financial information in the following tables combines the
"predecessor period" (January 1 through June 1, 2001) with the "successor
period" (June 2 through September 30, 2001) to present "combined" results for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The data presented below should be
read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures
about Market Risk" below and the "Consolidated Financial Statements" included
elsewhere in this prospectus.
RESTATEMENT--The Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The restatement to the financial
statements herein reflects an impairment of
21
goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles,"
resulting in an estimated goodwill impairment charge of $4.51 billion. This
restatement has no impact on previously reported operating margin or net cash
provided by operations for any periods. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and
Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and Note 6, "Accounting
Change--Goodwill Amortization" in the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 for further information
regarding the goodwill impairment.

------------------------------
(1) In September 2001, CIT changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to
September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal year end.
(2) On September 30, 2001, we sold certain international subsidiaries, which
had assets of $1.8 billion and liabilities of $1.5 billion, to a non-U.S.
subsidiary of Tyco for a note in the amount of the net book value of
approximately $295 million. This sale did not affect earnings for the
period ended September 30, 2001. On February 11, 2002, we repurchased the
international subsidiaries that we had previously sold to an affiliate of
Tyco for a purchase price equal to the net book value. The selected
financial data includes these international operations for all periods
presented; as a result, the Balance Sheet Data at September 30, 2001 varies
slightly from comparable data reported in CIT's Form 10-K for the period
ended September 30, 2001.
(3) Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
(combined) include special charges incurred by the predecessor of
$221.6 million ($158.0 million after tax). See Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
(4) Includes results of operations of Newcourt Credit Group Inc. from the
November 15, 1999 acquisition date.
(5) Includes a 1997 gain of $58.0 million on the sale of an equity interest
acquired in connection with a loan workout.
22
(6) During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we recorded an initial estimate of
goodwill impairment of $4.51 billion in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The Company has restated its
Consolidated Financial Statements to reflect this impairment. This
impairment is discussed further under "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk--Quarters and Six Months Ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001--CIT Group Inc.--Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets Amortization."
(7) Basic and diluted pro forma (loss) income per common share have been
computed by dividing net (loss) income for each period by 200,316,302
shares of common stock, which is the number of common shares expected to be
outstanding immediately after this offering. There are no dilutive common
share equivalents expected to be issued prior to the closing of the
offering.
(8) Prior to the acquisition by Tyco on June 1, 2001, CIT paid a quarterly
dividend of $0.10 per share for each quarter from and including the second
quarter of 1998. In the year ended December 31, 1997, and prior to CIT's
initial public offering, CIT paid $79.3 million to its principal
stockholders under a dividend policy that terminated in connection with its
initial public offering. See the description of CIT's dividend policy under
"Dividend Policy" elsewhere in this prospectus.

------------------------------
(1) "AEA" means average earning assets which is the average of finance
receivables, operating lease equipment, finance receivables held for sale
and certain investments, less credit balances of factoring clients.
(2) Tangible shareholder's equity excludes goodwill and other intangible
assets.
(3) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
earnings consist of income before income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed
charges consist of interest on indebtedness, minority interest in
subsidiary trust holding solely debentures of the Company and one-third of
rent expense which is deemed representative of an interest factor.
(4) Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $3,873.1 million in
the six months ended March 31, 2002. Earnings for the six months ended
March 31, 2002 included a non-cash goodwill estimated impairment charge of
$4,512.7 million in accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." The ratio of earnings to fixed charges includes total
fixed charges of $737.2 million and a loss before provision for income
taxes of $3,873.1 million resulting in a total loss before provision for
income taxes and fixed charges of ($3,135.9) million.
(5) "AMA" means average managed assets, which is average earning assets plus
the average of finance receivables previously securitized and still managed
by us.
(6) Efficiency ratio is the ratio of salaries and general operating expenses to
operating margin excluding the provision for credit losses.
(7) Total debt excludes, and tangible shareholder's equity includes,
Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary
trust holding solely debentures of the Company.
(8) "Managed assets" are comprised of financing and leasing assets and finance
receivables previously securitized and still managed by us.
(9) Approximately $1.8 billion of international assets were sold to a
subsidiary of Tyco on September 30, 2001, with no effect on earnings for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001. We repurchased our international
assets on February 11, 2002 at net book value. The selected financial data
includes the international operations for all periods presented; as a
result, the Balance Sheet Data at September 30, 2001 varies slightly from
comparable data reported in CIT's Form 10-K for the period ended
September 30, 2001.
(10) Excluding special charges of $221.6 million ($158.0 million after tax) for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, (i) the return on average
tangible shareholder's equity would have been 15.8%, (ii) the return on AEA
would have been 1.62%, (iii) the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would
have been 1.51x, (iv) the salaries and general operating expenses as a
24
percentage of AMA would have been 2.07%, (v) the efficiency ratio would
have been 40.2% and (vi) net credit losses as a percentage of average
finance receivables would have been 0.87%.
(11) Excluding the gain of $58.0 million on the sale of an equity interest
acquired in a loan workout and certain special expenses, for the year ended
December 31, 1997, (i) the return on average tangible shareholder's equity
would have been 13.1%, (ii) the return on AEA would have been 1.58%,
(iii) salaries and general operating expenses as a percentage of AMA would
have been 2.01% and (iv) the efficiency ratio would have been 41.1%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTRODUCTION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of
CIT, formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and previously The CIT
Group, Inc. On June 1, 2001, The CIT Group, Inc. was acquired by a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco, a diversified manufacturing and service company, in a
purchase business combination. In accordance with the guidelines for accounting
for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus related purchase
accounting adjustments have been "pushed down" and recorded in CIT's financial
statements, resulting in a new basis of accounting for the "successor" period
beginning June 2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets and liabilities were
recorded at estimated fair value in the CIT financial statements. Information
relating to all "predecessor" periods prior to the acquisition is presented
using CIT's historical basis of accounting. In September 2001, CIT changed its
fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal
year end.
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation and is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH, a Nevada corporation, which is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco Capital, a Bermuda company. Prior to the closing
of this offering, Tyco will effectuate a restructuring whereby CIT will merge
with and into TCH, and that combined entity will further merge with and into CIT
Group Inc. (Del), a Delaware corporation. In connection with the reorganization,
CIT Group Inc. (Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As a result of the
reorganization, CIT Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and will be the
successor to CIT's business, operations, obligations and SEC registration.
In connection with the reorganization and mergers described above, CIT Group
Inc. (Nevada) is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of TCH, as
CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. The Delaware
company has had no operations and nominal financial activity and will be used
solely for the purpose of the reincorporation of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). TCH
was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity has been in connection
with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of CIT by Tyco on
June 1, 2001. TCH has not acted as an operating company and immediately prior to
the reorganization will have nominal assets and liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT. TCH's stand-alone historical financial activity is comprised
of intercompany debt payable to an affiliate of Tyco and interest expense
related to the acquisition of CIT, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco
common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. All of the activity
of TCH will be unwound through a capital contribution from Tyco prior to the
reorganization discussed above and TCH's balance sheet will have nominal
balances. The ongoing operations of the registrant will effectively be comprised
of the existing operations of CIT.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that management
believes to be relevant to understanding our consolidated financial condition
and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the "Consolidated Financial Statements" and the related notes thereto which are
included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion includes certain
forward-looking statements. For a discussion of important factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, see
"Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements." See also "--Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 2001 and Calendar Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999--CIT
Group Inc.--Risk Management" for certain factors that have in the past and may
in the future affect our financial performance.
We are engaged in the commercial and consumer finance businesses, providing
secured financing and leasing products on both a fixed and floating interest
rate basis. Our commercial segments include equipment financing and leasing,
factoring, commercial finance and structured finance. Our consumer
26
business primarily consists of home equity lending. Our revenues principally
consist of finance income and fees and other income, which include factoring
commissions, commitment, facility, servicing, letter of credit and syndication
fees, and gains and losses from sales of equipment and other investments and
sales and securitization of finance receivables. Our primary expenses are
(i) interest expense related to funding our finance receivables and operating
lease equipment, (ii) salaries and general operating expenses, (iii) provision
for credit losses and (iv) depreciation on operating lease equipment.
Comparability of results among quarterly periods may be affected by the timing
of several events, including equipment sales, securitizations, the sales of
venture capital investments, dispositions of non-strategic assets and the
effects of new-basis of accounting as of June 1, 2001. Our business requires
significant funds to originate finance receivables and purchase leasing
equipment, and we consequently require substantial liquidity to finance our
operations. See "--Quarters and Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001--CIT
Group Inc.--Liquidity Risk Management" and "--Fiscal Year Ended September 30,
2001 and Calendar Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999--CIT Group Inc.--Risk
Management--Market Risk Management--Liquidity Risk Management."
RESTATEMENT--The Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The restatement to the financial
statements herein reflects an impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," resulting in an estimated goodwill
impairment charge of $4.51 billion. This restatement has no impact on previously
reported operating margin or net cash provided by operations for any periods.
See "--Quarters and Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001--CIT Group Inc."
and Note 6, "Accounting Change--Goodwill Amortization" in the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 for
further information regarding the goodwill impairment.
QUARTERS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
CIT GROUP INC.
OVERVIEW
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the
results of CIT Group Inc., a Nevada corporation ("we," "CIT" or the "Company"),
formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and previously The CIT Group, Inc. On
June 1, 2001, The CIT Group, Inc. was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco"), a diversified manufacturing and service
company, in a purchase business combination. In accordance with the guidelines
for accounting for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus
related purchase accounting adjustments have been "pushed down" and recorded in
CIT's financial statements, resulting in a new basis of accounting for the
"successor" period beginning June 2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets
and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value in the CIT financial
statements. Information relating to all "predecessor" periods prior to the
acquisition is presented using CIT's historical basis of accounting. In
September 2001, CIT changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to
September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal year end. On February 8, 2002, we
changed our name from Tyco Capital Corporation to CIT Group Inc.
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements, footnotes and throughout this document include the results
of operations, financial position and cash flows of the international
subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco for all periods presented and, as a result,
will vary slightly from comparable information reported in our Form 10-K for the
transition period ended September 30, 2001.

The following table summarizes our net (loss) income and related data ($ in
millions).

Return on average earning assets ("AEA")....... (48.38)% 1.54% (22.18)% 1.54%
The current quarter net loss of $4,355.4 million includes a
$4,512.7 million charge for the estimated impairment of goodwill and a
$58.9 million, after tax, provision to establish reserves relating to the
economic reforms instituted by the Argentine government that converted
dollar-denominated receivables into the peso. Partially offsetting the decrease
in net income was stronger risk-adjusted net interest margin, higher other
revenues and reduced operating expenses. The current period's results also
include the sale and liquidation of low-yielding, non-strategic assets, lower
market interest rates and funding costs, the effects of fair value adjustments
in new basis accounting on net interest margin and lower leverage. Current
quarter operating expenses reflected our adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on
October 1, 2001. As a result of the adoption, there was no goodwill amortization
for the current quarter, whereas we had $19.9 million of goodwill amortization
(after tax) in the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we recorded an initial estimate of
goodwill impairment of $4.51 billion. The estimated impairment at March 31, 2002
by reporting unit was $1.74 billion for Equipment Financing and Leasing,
$1.62 billion for Specialty Finance, $1.08 billion for Commercial Finance and
$66 million for Structured Finance. This estimated goodwill impairment reflects
the estimated fair value of each of CIT's reporting units at March 31, 2002
based on each reporting unit's projected earnings and market factors expected to
be used by market participants in ascribing value to each of these reporting
units in the planned separation of CIT from Tyco. We are continuing with our
analysis of goodwill impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142. If actual
proceeds of an initial public offering are less than the $6.5 billion estimate
used to calculate the initial impairment and/or the market capitalization of CIT
is less than the carrying value after the offering, then these events would be
an indication of a potential further impairment. Tyco will receive estimated
proceeds of $4.6 billion, before underwriting discounts and commissions, from
the sale of 100% of CIT's common stock. This impairment is discussed further
under "--Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Amortization."
Net income declined from $239.0 million in the quarter ended December 31,
2001 due to the estimated goodwill impairment charge and the Argentina-related
provision, in addition to lower risk-adjusted margins, reflecting higher cost of
funds on bank borrowings and increased liquidity, and lower fee income.
The events surrounding our increased cost of funds, which negatively
impacted the current quarter margin, and our actions taken to address the
related liquidity issues include the following:
- January 22, 2002--Tyco announced a plan to dispose of CIT.
- February 5, 2002--In connection with Tyco and CIT credit rating
downgrades, CIT drew down on its $8.5 billion unsecured bank credit
facilities in order to pay down commercial paper at the scheduled
maturities.
- February 14, 2002--CIT amended its public indenture agreements to prohibit
or restrict transactions with Tyco.
28
- February 20, 2002--CIT completed a $1.2 billion conduit financing backed
by trade accounts receivable in order to broaden funding access and repay
term debt at the scheduled maturities.
- March 4, 2002--CIT completed a $1.0 billion securitization facility backed
by home equity loans in order to broaden funding access and repay term
debt at the scheduled maturities.
- April 1, 2002--CIT completed a $2.5 billion debt offering, comprised of
$1.25 billion of 7.375% senior notes due April 2, 2007, and $1.25 billion
of 7.750% senior notes due April 2, 2012.
The events above resulted in an increased cost of funds due to the
alternative sources of financing being more expensive than our historic
financing sources, and due to the Company maintaining excess cash liquidity
levels for the payment of debt. Management expects that the current margin and
earnings trends, which began in the middle of the quarter ended March 31, 2002,
will continue for the foreseeable future. Results in prospective quarters will
reflect the impact of the more expensive funding sources and excess liquidity as
described above for a full quarter, as well as the impact of the $2.5 billion
debt offering completed on April 1, 2002. Further, management expects that new
business volumes will continue to be similarly constrained by these items. Upon
separation from Tyco, we expect to have our ratings reviewed by the rating
agencies to regain more cost effective access to the commercial paper and public
term debt markets.

========= =========
------------------------------
(1) Average earning assets is the average of finance receivables, operating
lease equipment, finance receivables held for sale and certain investments,
less credit balances of factoring clients.
Net finance margin increased $43.5 million to $448.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 from the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the six months
ended March 31, 2002, net finance margin increased $140.4 million to
$935.7 million from the prior year period. As a percentage of AEA, net finance
margin increased to 4.98% and 5.04% for the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2002 from 3.89% and 3.82% in the prior year quarter and six months,
respectively. AEA declined during the quarter and six months ended March 31,
2002 due to the following: (1) sales and liquidation of non-strategic assets;
and (2) lower new business origination volume due to soft economic conditions,
the exit of non-strategic businesses, and growth constraints following the draw
down of bank facilities and other liquidity events described previously. The
increase in net finance margin as a percentage of AEA for the quarter and six
months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to the effect of fair value
adjustments in new basis of accounting to reflect market interest rates on debt
and assets, including liquidating receivables. Other factors contributing to the
increase were the following: (1) exits from non-strategic and under-performing
businesses; (2) the decline in short term interest rates; and (3) lower
leverage. These positive factors were partially offset by the increased cost of
bank line borrowings and excess cash maintained for liquidity purposes during
the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Current quarter net finance margin declined
$39.3 million and dropped from 5.20% as a percentage of AEA from the quarter
ended December 31, 2001 due primarily to the higher cost associated with the
draw down of bank facilities to pay off commercial paper and higher levels of
excess liquidity. The risk-adjusted margin related to the liquidating portfolios
for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002 was not significant because
the interest margin, including purchase accounting accretion, was substantially
offset by charge-offs (included in the provision for loan losses) related to
such portfolios.
Finance income (interest on loans and lease rentals) for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 decreased $270.1 million, to $1,106.7 million from
$1,376.8 million for the comparable 2001 quarter, and decreased $462.3 million
to $2,305.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from
$2,768.0 million in the prior year six months. The decline reflected a 13.5% and
10.9% decline in AEA for the quarter and the six months from the prior year
periods. As a percent of AEA, finance income was 12.30% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 and 12.43% for the six months then ended, respectively, compared
to 13.23% and 13.29% for the comparable quarter and six months ended March 31,
2001, respectively, as the impact of portfolio mix changes resulting from the
sale and
30
liquidation activities, as well as the favorable impact of new basis accounting,
were offset by the effects of lower market interest rates and lower rentals in
the aerospace portfolio due to the industry downturn post September 11, 2001.
Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002
decreased $277.4 million and $556.6 million, respectively, from the comparable
2001 periods. As a percent of AEA, interest expense for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 decreased to 3.87% from 6.01% for the quarter ended March 31,
2001, while in the six month period interest expense decreased to 3.89% from
6.14% in the prior year period. The lower interest expense both in dollars and
as a percentage of AEA reflects the lower current period debt levels associated
with funding a lower asset base and decreased leverage, the lower market
interest rates in the current period and the effect of fair value adjustments in
new basis accounting.
Depreciation on operating lease equipment for the quarter ended March 31,
2002 was $310.2 million, compared to $346.4 million in the comparable 2001
quarter, and was $648.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002,
compared to $694.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The declines
in both operating lease equipment and depreciation on operating lease equipment
in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002 from the March 2001 quarter
reflect the sale of certain rail assets in Equipment Financing and Leasing,
while the decreased depreciation expense from prior year levels also reflects a
greater proportion of longer term assets. Operating lease margin (rental income
less depreciation expense) was 6.6% and 6.3% for the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 2002, respectively, compared to 7.2% and 7.3% for the same
periods ended March 31, 2001. As a percent of average operating lease equipment,
annualized depreciation expense was 19.0% and 19.4% for the quarters ended
March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 20.0% and 19.6% for the six months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The operating lease equipment
portfolio was $6.6 billion at March 31, 2002, down from $7.2 billion at
March 31, 2001. Our depreciable assets range from smaller-ticket shorter-term
leases (E.G., computers) to larger-ticket, longer-term leases (E.G., aircraft
and rail assets).
NET FINANCE MARGIN AFTER PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The net finance margin after provision for credit losses (risk adjusted
interest margin) declined to $253.2 million and $627.8 million for the quarter
and six months ended March 31, 2002, from $336.4 million and $663.2 million for
the same periods ended March 31, 2001 due to the Argentina-related provision in
the current quarter. The 2002 three and six month comparisons as a percentage of
AEA were 2.81% and 3.38% compared to 3.23% and 3.18% in 2001, respectively.
PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 was $195.0 million and $68.3 million, respectively. The increased provision
reflects higher 2002 charge-off levels and a $95.0 million provision relating to
the economic reforms instituted by the Argentine government that resulted in the
mandatory conversion of dollar-denominated receivables into the peso.
Net charge-offs increased to $112.4 million or 1.58% of average finance
receivables and $225.2 million or 1.49% during the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2002, respectively, compared to $66.7 million or 0.80% and
$126.8 million or 0.75% during the prior year quarter and six months,
respectively. Excluding liquidating portfolios of non-strategic assets, net
charge-offs were $75.2 million or 1.13% and $140.9 million or 1.00% for the
quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively compared to
$66.7 million or 0.80% and $126.8 million or 0.75% in the prior year
31
quarter and six months, respectively. Our provision for credit losses and
reserve for credit losses are presented in the following table ($ in millions).

------------------------------
(1) The March 31, 2002 percentage is 39.7% excluding the Argentina-related
provision.
The reserve for credit losses is periodically reviewed for adequacy
considering economic conditions, collateral values and credit quality
indicators, including charge-off experience, and levels of past due loans and
non-performing assets. The reserve increased to $554.9 million (2.11% of finance
receivables) at March 31, 2002 compared to $492.9 million (1.55% of finance
receivables) at September 30, 2001 and $462.0 million (1.39% of finance
receivables) at March 31, 2001.
The reserve increase, both on a dollar basis and as a percentage of finance
receivables, compared to the prior year period is due to the $95.0 million
Argentina-related provision. Partially offsetting the dollar increase to the
reserve was a $25.8 million transfer of loss reserves relating to securitized
factoring receivables to Interest in Trade Receivables--net during the current
quarter. Additionally, reserves relating to home equity receivables securitized
during the quarter were deducted from the reserve and reflected as a reduction
to the corresponding securitization gain. Excluding the impact of the
Argentina-related provision, but considering the impact of these
securitizations, the reserve for credit losses was essentially flat with the
quarter ending December 31, 2001 in dollar amount.

The increased net charge-offs from the prior year, both in amount and
percentage, reflect general economic weakness leading to higher net charge-offs
in virtually all of our business segments. The higher net charge-off percentages
in relation to the prior year also reflect higher charge-off rates associated
with approximately $2.0 billion in receivables in liquidation status as of
March 31, 2002, which include trucking, franchise, inventory finance,
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle receivables. Net charge-offs, both
in amount and as a percentage of average finance receivables, are shown for the

Other revenue was $232.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002,
versus $211.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, and for the six
months ended March 31, 2002 was $477.2 million, compared to $428.9 million for
the same period of 2001. Increased fees and other income, which includes
miscellaneous fees, syndication fees and gains from receivable sales, more than
offset lower equipment sale gains. The increases in fees and other income were
primarily in the Commercial Finance and Specialty Finance segments.
The following table presents additional information regarding securitization
gains ($ in millions):

------------------------------
(1) Excludes trade receivables securitized during the quarter ended March 31,
2002.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we securitized $1.7 billion of home
equity loans to increase liquidity and broaden our access to funding sources.
The higher volume securitized during the current quarter reflected the need to
broaden funding access. However, gains were below the prior year because a
higher percentage of securitization volume consisted of home equity loans with
lower gains, and the equipment securitizations produced lower gains in the
current period.
SALARIES AND GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Salaries and general operating expenses were $226.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002, versus $263.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, salaries and general operating
expenses were $457.4 million compared to $522.8 million for the same prior year
period. The decrease is due to corporate staff reductions and business
restructurings in connection with the acquisition by Tyco. As a result, both the
efficiency ratio and the ratio of salaries
34
and general operating expenses to average managed assets ("AMA") improved for
the current periods as set forth in the following table:
QUARTER ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED

Salaries and general operating expenses as a

------------------------------
(1) Efficiency ratio is the ratio of salaries and general operating expenses to
operating margin excluding the provision for credit losses.
(2) "AMA" means average managed assets, which is average earning assets plus
the average of finance receivables previously securitized and still managed
by us.
The improvement in the efficiency ratio in 2002 over 2001 is a result of
strong margins and fee income and cost reductions. Management continues to
target an efficiency ratio in the mid 30% area.
If the offering is completed, management expects an increase in expenses as
the Company will incur added expenses associated with public entities.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION
CIT adopted SFAS No. 142, effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of CIT's
fiscal 2002. The Company has determined that there is no impact of adopting this
new standard under the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, there was no goodwill
amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, versus $22.5 million, before
taxes ($19.9 million after taxes), in the prior year quarter. Goodwill decreased
from $6,547.5 million at September 30, 2001 to $2,383.4 million at March 31,
2002, due to the estimated impairment charge described below, which was
partially offset by an approximately $350 million increase reflecting the
finalization and approval of exit and restructuring plans, which resulted in
valuation adjustments and liabilities recorded in conjunction with these
activities. Management does not expect further additions to goodwill as all exit
and restructuring plans were completed and approved by March 31, 2002.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, our parent, Tyco, experienced
disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan, a downgrade
in its credit rating, and a significant decline in its market capitalization.
During this same time period, CIT also experienced credit downgrades and a
disruption to its historical funding base. See "--Overview" and "--Liquidity
Risk Management." The Company prepared valuations, utilizing a discounted cash
flows approach updated for current information and considering various
marketplace assumptions, which indicated a range of values from impairment of
$750 million to excess fair value of $1.5 billion. Based on management's belief
that CIT would be separated from Tyco, receive an increase in its credit
ratings, and regain access to the unsecured credit markets, we initially
concluded that CIT had an excess of fair market value over net book value of
approximately $1.5 billion. Accordingly, management did not believe that there
was an impairment of goodwill of CIT as of March 31, 2002.
However, market-based information used in connection with our preliminary
consideration of the potential initial public offering for 100% of CIT indicated
that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2002. As
a result, management performed a step 1 SFAS No. 142 impairment analysis as of
March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was warranted at that
date.
35
Accordingly, management's objective in performing the SFAS No. 142 step 1
analysis was to obtain relevant market based data to calculate the estimated
fair value of each CIT reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 based on each
reporting unit's projected earnings and market factors expected to be used by
market participants in ascribing value to each of these reporting units in the
planned separation of CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data
from our financial advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples
and market condition discounts applicable to each reporting unit as of
March 31, 2002 and applied this market data to the individual reporting unit
projected annual earnings as of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair
value of each reporting unit and any resulting reporting unit goodwill
impairment. The estimated fair values were compared to the corresponding
carrying value of each reporting unit at March 31, 2002. The total of the
individual reporting unit estimated goodwill impairments was $4.5 billion. We
have restated the CIT Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 to reflect an estimated impairment for each reporting unit
resulting in a $4.5 billion estimated impairment charge as of March 31, 2002.
SFAS No. 142 requires a second step analysis whenever the reporting unit
book value exceeds estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit's individual assets and
liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. We have
not yet completed this analysis due to the recently revised fair values for each
reporting unit. The Company will complete this second step analysis in the
quarter ending June 30, 2002 for each reporting unit to determine if any
adjustment to the estimated goodwill impairment charge previously recorded is
needed.
Subsequent to March 31, 2002, CIT experienced further credit downgrades and
the business environment and other factors continue to negatively impact the
value for the proposed IPO of CIT. Tyco will receive estimated proceeds of
$4.6 billion, before underwriting discounts and commissions, from the sale of
100% of CIT's common stock. Due to these events, the Company will assess
remaining goodwill of each reporting unit for potential additional impairment
based on the indicators of further decline in value.
INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was (2.3)% during the quarter ended March 31,
2002, versus 37.8% during the quarter ended March 31, 2001, and was (6.4)% and
37.8% for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002
reflects the impact of the estimated goodwill impairment charge, which is not
deductible for income tax purposes. Excluding the impact of the estimated
goodwill charge, the effective income tax rate was 38.1% and 38.0% during the
quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.
FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS
Managed assets, comprised of financing and leasing assets and finance
receivables securitized that we continue to manage, totaled $48.1 billion at
March 31, 2002, down from $50.9 billion at September 30, 2001, and
$54.0 billion at March 31, 2001. Owned financing and leasing portfolio assets
totaled $37.3 billion (including $3.4 billion securitized trade receivables) at
March 31, 2002 compared to $40.7 billion at September 30, 2001 and
$43.5 billion at March 31, 2001.
The trend of declining asset levels reflects the following: (1) sales and
liquidation of non-strategic assets; (2) the continued focus on managing down
our leverage ratios; (3) lower origination volume due to continued soft economic
conditions; and (4) growth constraints relating to the previously described
liquidity events. During the six months ended March 31, 2002, we completed the
sale of approximately $700 million in recreational vehicle receivables in the
Specialty Finance--consumer segment, and the liquidation of several portfolios
continued, including trucking, franchise, inventory financing,
36
manufactured housing and recreational vehicles. Since March 31, 2001, we have
sold, liquidated or placed in liquidation status approximately $5.0 billion of
owned assets. The 85.2% decline in Commercial Services assets reflected our
first securitization of trade accounts receivable and normal seasonal trends. In
addition, $1.7 billion of home equity receivables were securitized during the
quarter in the Specialty Finance--consumer business unit as part of our program
to broaden funding access. New origination volume (excluding factoring),
although above the preceding quarter, remained below prior year levels by
approximately 7%. Management expects volume to be constrained for the near term
due to the liquidity events described previously.

business units are presented in the following table ($ in millions):

Past due and non-performing assets both increased moderately in dollar
amounts from September 30, 2001, and increased as a percentage of finance
receivables due to asset sales and the continued liquidation of non-strategic
portfolios at March 31, 2002. The increases in dollar amounts of past dues and
non-performing assets reflect economic weakness in sectors of the economy.
Commercial Finance past dues and non-performing assets increased due to
continued weakness in the retail and manufacturing sectors. The Specialty
Finance--commercial past due and non-performing assets increase reflects the
small ticket characteristics of the portfolio, which are typically more
sensitive to economic changes.
CONCENTRATIONS
Our ten largest financing and leasing asset accounts in the aggregate
accounted for 4.6% of our total financing and leasing assets at March 31, 2002
(with the largest account representing less than 1%), all of which are
commercial accounts secured by either equipment, accounts receivable or
inventory.
At March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001, our managed asset geographic
diversity did not differ significantly from our owned asset geographic
diversity.
Our financing and leasing asset portfolio in North America is diversified by
region. At March 31, 2002, with the exception of California (10.0%), New York
(6.8%), and Texas (7.8%), no state or province within any region represented
more than 4.0% of owned financing and leasing assets. Our March 2002 managed and
owned asset geographic composition did not significantly differ from our
September 2001 managed and owned asset geographic composition.
Financing and leasing assets to foreign obligors totaled $7.0 billion at
March 31, 2002. After Canada, $1.8 billion (5.2% of financing and leasing
assets), the largest foreign exposures were England, $1.2 billion (3.6%), China,
$378 million (1.1%), Germany, $373 million (1.1%), France, $360 million
38
(1.1%) and Australia $351 million (1.0%). Our remaining foreign exposure was
geographically dispersed, with no other individual country exposure exceeding
1.0% of financing and leasing assets.
At September 30, 2001, with the exception of California (10.4%), New York
(8.8%), and Texas (7.7%), no state or province within any region represented
more than 4.5% of owned financing and leasing assets. Financing and leasing
assets to foreign obligors totaled $6.9 billion at September 30, 2001. After
Canada, $2.0 billion (4.8% of financing and leasing assets), the next largest
foreign exposure was to England, $0.9 billion (2.1%). Our remaining foreign
exposure was geographically dispersed, with no other individual country exposure
exceeding 1.0% of financing and leasing assets.
At March 31, 2002 we had approximately $180 million of U.S.
dollar-denominated loans and assets outstanding to customers located or doing
business in Argentina. The Argentine government has recently instituted economic
reforms, including the conversion of certain dollar-denominated loans into
pesos. As such, during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 we recorded a charge of
$95.0 million relating to this devaluation of the Argentine Peso.
Our telecommunications portfolio is included in "Communications" in the
industry composition table included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. This portfolio is included in our Structured Finance segment and
totals approximately $684.2 million at March 31, 2002, comprising approximately
2.1% of total financing and leasing assets, of which 8.9% are on non-accrual
status. This portfolio consists of 59 accounts with an average balance of
approximately $11.6 million. The 10 largest accounts in the portfolio aggregate
$204.9 million with the largest single account under $26.0 million. Competitive
local exchange carrier ("CLEC") accounts were approximately $294.1 million, or
43.0%, of the telecommunications portfolio at March 31, 2002. Many of these CLEC
accounts are in the process of building out their networks and developing
customer bases. Our telecommunications transactions are collateralized by the
assets of the customer (equipment, receivables, cash, etc.) and typically are
also secured by a pledge of the stock of non-public companies. If weakness
continues in the telecommunications industry, the value of our
telecommunications portfolio could be adversely impacted.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity risk, which refers to our risk of being unable to meet potential
cash outflows promptly and cost effectively, is discussed more below under
"--Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2001 and Calendar Years Ended December 31,
2000 and 1999--CIT Group Inc.--Risk Management--Market Risk
Management--Liquidity Risk Management."
In February 2002, we drew down on our $8.5 billion in unsecured bank credit
facilities, which have historically been maintained as liquidity support for our
commercial paper programs. The proceeds are continuing to be used to satisfy our
outstanding commercial paper obligations, of which approximately $710 million
remains outstanding at March 31, 2002. The credit facilities are made up of four
variable-rate instruments. Two of the instruments mature in March 2003, with one
totaling $3.72 billion at LIBOR plus 28 basis points and the other is
$0.5 billion (Canadian dollar) at Prime plus 5 basis points as of March 31,
2002. The remaining two variable rate credit instruments consist of
$3.72 billion at LIBOR plus 30 basis points that matures in March 2005 and
$0.765 billion at LIBOR plus 45 basis points that matures in April 2005 as of
March 31, 2002. This draw down followed a similar draw down of bank lines by
Tyco.
In April 2002, we completed a $2.5 billion public unsecured bond offering as
part of our strategy to strengthen our liquidity position. This debt offering
was comprised of $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior notes
due April 2, 2007 and $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior
notes due April 2, 2012. The proceeds will be used to repay a portion of our
existing term debt at maturity.
39
Following the credit ratings downgrade of Tyco in February 2002, our credit
ratings were downgraded by Standard & Poor's and Fitch, while Moody's confirmed
our ratings, resulting in the ratings shown in the following table:

On April 30, 2002, Fitch revised the rating watch status on all our ratings
from evolving to negative, due to concerns surrounding the timing of the
separation from Tyco.
On June 7, 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating
from A- to BBB+. Standard & Poor's ratings on all of CIT's debt remain on watch
status with developing implications.
On June 10, 2002, Fitch downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating from A- to
BBB. All of the Company's Fitch ratings remain on watch status.

Our short-term liquidity plan is focused on the funds required to meet
scheduled maturities of the remaining commercial paper and term debt. The plan
assumes that the remaining commercial paper will be substantially paid with the
remaining proceeds from the bank lines and that funds required to meet term debt
maturities will be paid via securitizations, including existing commercial
equipment vehicles and the additional facilities described previously in the
"--Overview" section, and the $2.5 billion raised from the recent debt offering.
Proceeds from paydowns on our existing receivables are expected to be used to
fund new portfolio volume. We expect over time to have our ratings reviewed by
the rating agencies to regain more cost-effective access to the public debt
markets.
From time to time, CIT files registration statements for debt securities,
which it may sell in the future. At April 30, 2002, we had $12.2 billion of
registered, but unissued, debt securities available under a shelf registration
statement. In addition, CIT had $5.4 billion of registered, but unissued,
securities available under public shelf registration statements relating to our
asset-backed securitization program. Separately, during the quarter we completed
$2.2 billion in private securitization facilities.
See the "--Overview" and "--Net Finance Margin" sections for information
regarding the impact of our liquidity and capitalization plan on results of
operations.

See Note 9 and the "--Overview" section above for a discussion of events

Assets Amortization" for a discussion of events impacting our goodwill.
SECURITIZATION AND JOINT VENTURE ACTIVITIES
We utilize joint ventures and special purpose entities (SPEs) in the normal
course of business to execute securitization transactions and conduct business
in key vendor relationships.
Securitization Transactions--SPEs are used to achieve "true sale" and
bankruptcy remote requirements for these transactions in accordance with SFAS
No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." Pools of assets are originated and sold to
independent trusts (the SPEs), which in turn issue securities to investors
solely backed by asset pools. Accordingly, CIT has no legal obligations to repay
the investment certificates in the event of a default by the Trust. CIT retains
the servicing rights and participates in certain cash flows of the pools. The
present value of expected net cash flows that exceeds the estimated cost of
servicing is recorded in other assets as a "retained interest." Assets
securitized are shown in our managed assets and our capitalization ratios on
managed assets.
Joint Ventures--We utilize joint ventures to conduct financing activities
with certain strategic vendor partners. Receivables are originated by the joint
venture entity and purchased by CIT. These distinct legal entities are jointly
owned by the vendor partner and CIT, and there is no third-party debt involved.
These arrangements are accounted for on the equity method, with profits and
losses distributed according to the joint venture agreement.
Commitments and Contingencies--In the normal course of business, we grant
commitments to extend additional financing and leasing asset credit and we have
commitments to purchase commercial aircraft for lease to third parties. We also
enter into various credit-related commitments, including
41
letters of credit, acceptances and guarantees. These financial arrangements
generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. To minimize
potential credit risk, we generally require collateral and other credit-related
terms from the customer.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. The following accounting policies include inherent risks and
uncertainties related to judgments and assumptions made by management.
Management's estimates are based on the relevant information available at the
end of each period.
Investments--Investments for which the Company does not have the ability to
exercise significant influence and for which there is not a readily determinable
market value are accounted for under the cost method. Management uses judgment
in determining when an unrealized loss is deemed to be other than temporary, in
which case such loss is charged to earnings.
Charge-off of Finance Receivables--Finance receivables are reviewed
periodically to determine the probability of loss. Charge-offs are taken after
considering such factors as the borrower's financial condition and the value of
underlying collateral and guarantees (including recourse to dealers and
manufacturers).
Impaired Loans--Loan impairment is defined as any shortfall between the
estimated value and the recorded investment in the loan, with the estimated
value determined using the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is
collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
Retained Interests in Securitizations--Significant financial assumptions,
including loan pool credit losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates, are
utilized to determine the fair values of retained interests, both at the date of
the securitization and in the subsequent quarterly valuations of retained
interests. Any resulting losses, representing the excess of carrying value over
estimated fair value, are recorded in current earnings. However, unrealized
gains are reflected in shareholder's equity as part of other comprehensive
income, rather than in earnings.
Lease Residual Values--Operating lease equipment is carried at cost less
accumulated depreciation and is depreciated to estimated residual value using
the straight-line method over the lease term or projected economic life of the
asset. Direct financing leases are recorded at the aggregated future minimum
lease payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income.
Management performs periodic reviews of the estimated residual values, with
impairment, other than temporary, recognized in the current period.
Reserve for Credit Losses--The reserve for credit losses is periodically
reviewed by management for adequacy considering economic conditions, collateral
values and credit quality indicators, including historical and expected
charge-off experience and levels of past-due loans and non-performing assets.
Management uses judgment in determining the level of the consolidated reserve
for credit losses and in evaluating the adequacy of the reserve.
Goodwill--CIT adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of CIT's fiscal 2002. The Company has
determined that there is no impact of adopting this new standard under the
transition provisions of SFAS No. 142.
42
Since adoption, goodwill is no longer amortized but instead is assessed
annually for impairment or sooner if circumstances indicate a possible
impairment. During this assessment, management relies on a number of factors
including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated
future cash flows, and transactions and market place data. See the "--Overview"
and "--Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Amorization" sections for a
discussion of our recent impairment analysis.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency
exchange rates and commodity prices has not changed materially from our exposure
during the transitional fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, except for
possible additional interest rate exposure discussed in "--Overview" and
"--Liquidity Risk Management" above.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. We are currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
43
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting
model for impairment of long-lived assets. We are currently assessing the impact
of this new standard.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.
This statement rescinds the above mentioned statements and amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. We are
currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC.

TCH's historical financial activity is comprised of intercompany debt
activity with Tyco, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco common shares
on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. As of March 31, 2002 and
September 30, 2001, TCH had outstanding $5.6 billion and $5.0 billion,
respectively, of debt payable to affiliates of Tyco under a master loan
agreement with interest rates ranging from 5.63% to 6.85% for debt outstanding
at March 31, 2002 and 5.63% to 6.25% for debt outstanding at September 30, 2001,
maturing over a range of 5 to 20 years for both periods. The weighted average
interest rate at March 31, 2002 was 6.11% and at September 30, 2001 was 6.02%.
Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2002 was $385.6 million. TCH
also had receivables from affiliates of Tyco totaling $663.9 million with
interest rates ranging from 1.71% to 3.13% at March 31, 2002, and
$362.7 million with interest rates of 5.07% at September 30, 2001. In addition,
TCH had an investment of $120.0 million and $161.7 million on its balance sheet
as of March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, related to the common
shares to be used to fulfill the redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND CALENDAR YEARS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999
CIT GROUP INC.
OVERVIEW
In September 2001, we changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to
September 30 to conform to Tyco's fiscal year end. References to fiscal 2001,
2000 and 1999 refer to the transitional nine-month period ended September 30,
2001 and calendar years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
To assist in the comparability of our financial results and discussions,
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 include
results for five months of the predecessor and four months of the successor and
are designated as "combined." Further, in the discussions below, the results of
operations for fiscal 2001 compare the nine months ended September 30, 2001 with
the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 2000.
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements, footnotes and throughout this document include the results
of operations, financial position and cash flows of the international
subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco for all periods presented and, as a result,
will vary slightly from comparable information reported in our Form 10-K for the
transition period ended September 30, 2001.
The following table summarizes our net income and related data ($ in
millions).

Return on average earning assets
("AEA"), before special charges..... 1.62% 1.50% 1.50% 1.52%
The return on average tangible shareholder's equity before special charges
declined slightly in 2001 to 15.8% due to de-leveraging the balance sheet
(decreasing the debt to equity ratio). However, the return on AEA before special
charges improved to 1.62% in connection with management's actions to sell or
liquidate non-strategic and low return assets, improve pricing and control
expenses.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 included a special
charge of $221.6 million ($158.0 million after-tax) consisting of the following:
provision of $89.5 million for certain non-strategic and under-performing
equipment leasing and loan portfolios, primarily in the telecommunications
industry, of which the Company expects to dispose; write-downs of $78.1 million
for certain equity investments in the telecommunications industry and e-commerce
markets of which the Company expects to dispose; and acquisition-related
transaction costs of $54.0 million incurred by the Company prior to and in
connection with its acquisition by Tyco. The $78.1 million special write-down is
netted in other revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period
January 1, 2001 through June 1, 2001 (predecessor) and the impairment of
portfolio assets of $89.5 million is
45
included in the provision for credit losses in such statement. The impairment
and valuation charges above relate to loans, leases and investments that are
being liquidated. Collection efforts continue with respect to such loans and
leases.
Managed assets totaled $50.9 billion at September 30, 2001, $54.9 billion at
December 31, 2000, and $51.4 billion at December 31, 1999, while financing and
leasing portfolio assets totaled $40.7 billion, $43.8 billion and $40.4 billion
at September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decreases
in both managed and portfolio assets during fiscal 2001 reflect the sale,
liquidation or placing in liquidation of approximately $7.0 billion in
non-strategic assets, including the $700 million sale of recreation vehicle
finance receivables in October 2001. The fiscal 2001 trends also reflect
declines in origination volume in fiscal 2001 due to exiting non-strategic
businesses, stricter pricing discipline in certain markets and slower economic
conditions. The volume declines were experienced in most of our businesses in
fiscal 2001, with the exception of Commercial Finance and the home equity
business within Specialty Finance. The increases in both managed and portfolio
assets in 2000 over 1999 reflected increased volume of originations across all
business segments, partially offset by the sale of over $1.0 billion of
non-strategic assets during fiscal 2000. See "--Financing and Leasing Assets"
for additional information.
NET FINANCE MARGIN

Net finance margin as a % of AEA......... 4.34% 3.57% 3.61% 3.59%
========= ========= ========= =========
Net finance margin was $1,318.8 million and $1,078.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and $1,469.4 million and
$917.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
2001 results reflect comparable asset levels to 2000 and stable yields, coupled
with lower interest expense. As a percentage of AEA, net finance margin was
4.34% and 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and 3.61%
and 3.59% for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net
finance income as a percentage of AEA was essentially flat with 2000 (excluding
higher operating lease rentals, which were offset by higher depreciation
expense), reflecting the disposition of non-strategic and lower margin
businesses, the lower 2001 interest rate environment and the impact of the new
basis method of accounting to reflect market interest rates at the time of the
acquisition. Net finance margin as a percentage of AEA increased slightly in
2000 from 1999, as wider margins in our businesses acquired in 1999 more than
46
offset the impact of the continued growth in operating leases. The operating
leasing business, which generally has lower initial net finance margins than
finance receivables, also generates equipment gains, renewal revenues and tax
depreciation benefits. The increase in AEA from 1999 to 2000 resulted from the
1999 acquisitions, most notably Newcourt Credit Group Inc. ("Newcourt") in
November 1999.
Finance income was $3,975.3 million and $3,857.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, and $5,248.4 million and $2,565.9 million for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a percentage of
AEA, finance income (excluding interest income related to short-term
interest-bearing deposits) was 12.93% and 12.56% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 and, 12.69% and 9.88% for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Although market interest rates were
rising in 2000 and declining in 2001, the yield trend primarily reflects changes
in product mix due to acquisitions and the sale or liquidation of non-strategic,
lower yielding assets, as described above.
Interest expense was $1,619.8 million and $1,845.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and $2,497.7 million and
$1,293.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
As a percentage of AEA, interest expense (excluding interest related to
short-term interest-bearing deposits and dividends related to preferred capital
securities) was 5.17% and 5.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000 and 5.92% and 4.91% for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
reflecting a declining interest rate environment in 2001, in contrast to the
rising interest rate environment throughout most of 2000. In addition, interest
expense during 2001 reflects lower market interest rates at the time of the Tyco
acquisition. We seek to mitigate interest rate risk by matching the repricing
characteristics of our assets with our liabilities, which is in part done
through portfolio management and the use of derivative financial instruments,
principally interest rate swaps. For further discussion, see "--Risk
Management."
The operating lease equipment portfolio was $6.4 billion at September 30,
2001 versus $7.2 billion and $6.1 billion at December 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. The reduction during 2001 is due to a $0.4 billion rail
sale-leaseback transaction, as well as declining balances in various small
ticket portfolios. As a percentage of average operating leases, depreciation was
19.5% and 20.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 versus
19.5% and 9.5% for the years ended 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase in
2000 over 1999 reflects the full year impact of acquired assets, which included
smaller ticket and shorter term leases.
OTHER REVENUE
We continue to emphasize growth and diversification of other "non-spread"
revenues to improve our overall profitability. Excluding special charges,
annualized other revenue as a percentage of AEA was 2.15% and 2.30% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and 2.24% and 1.37% for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The special charges were write-downs
for other than temporary impairment of certain equity investments in the
telecommunications industry
47
and e-commerce markets recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The
components of other revenue are set forth in the following table ($ in
millions).

Included in fees and other income are miscellaneous fees, syndication fees
and gains from receivable sales. Receivable sales, which are primarily in our
Specialty Finance--consumer business, are a part of our origination and whole
loan sale strategy. Gains on equipment sales decreased in 2001 due to the impact
of push-down accounting during the successor period, while weaker economic
conditions during 2001 resulted in significantly reduced venture capital gains
compared to 2000. The gains on securitizations reflect both the volume and
product mix of assets securitized. The volume securitized for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 was $3.3 billion as compared to $2.9 billion for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $4.1 billion and $1.5 billion for the
years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
SALARIES AND GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES
Salaries and general operating expenses were $784.9 million, or 2.07% of
average managed assets and $775.9 million (2.03%), for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, and $1,035.2 million (2.01%) and $516.0 million
(1.75%) for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Expenses
were up significantly in 2000 from the prior year due to the 1999 acquisitions,
with the largest portion of this increase in employee costs and facilities
expenses. The November 1999 acquisition of Newcourt Credit Group Inc., in
particular increased both absolute expense levels and ratios, as Newcourt had
historically higher expense levels than us.
Further, in conjunction with our integration into Tyco, we accrued
$45.8 million of purchase accounting reserves for workforce reductions and
business exit plans which had been initiated as of September 30, 2001. In
accordance with accounting rules for purchase business combinations these
integration costs are not charged against current earnings but are treated as
additional purchase price consideration and have the effect of increasing the
amount of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition. These plans
include the termination of approximately 670 corporate and administrative
employees in North America, of which 408 had been terminated as of or prior to
September 30, 2001. We do not separately track the impact on financial results
of the workforce reduction and integration programs. However, we estimate that
our overall cost structure had been reduced by approximately $50 million on an
annualized basis as of September 30, 2001 due to the impact of these actions.
Personnel decreased to approximately 6,785 at September 30, 2001 from 7,355 and
8,255 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
We manage expenditures using a comprehensive budgetary process. Expenses are
monitored closely by business unit management and are reviewed monthly with our
senior management. To ensure overall project cost control, an approval and
review procedure is in place for major capital expenditures, such as computer
equipment and software, including post-implementation evaluations.

The efficiency ratio and the ratio of salaries and general operating
expenses to AMA are two metrics that management uses to monitor productivity.
AMA is comprised of average earning assets plus the average of finance
receivables previously securitized and still managed by us. These ratios exclude
special charges and goodwill amortization and are set forth in the following
table.

Salaries and general operating expenses
as a percentage of AMA................... 2.07% 2.03% 2.01% 1.75%
The lower efficiency (higher ratio) in 2000 reflects the impact of the
Newcourt acquisition, as Newcourt's efficiency ratio was historically
significantly higher than ours. While the efficiency ratio improved in 2001
compared to 2000 because of integration cost savings and efficiency enhancements
implemented during the last two quarters of fiscal 2001, it remains above
management's target ratio. The previously mentioned integration cost savings and
efficiency enhancements are expected to improve both ratios prospectively.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION
Goodwill and other intangible assets amortization was $97.6 million and
$63.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, versus
$86.3 million and $25.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2001 increase reflects the pushdown of Tyco's purchase price
and other fair value adjustments, while the 2000 increase resulted from the full
year impact of 1999 purchase acquisitions. Goodwill and other intangible assets
were amortized from the acquisition date on a straight-line basis over the lives
of the underlying identifiable assets, which range from 5 to 40 years. In
accordance with recently adopted accounting rule changes, goodwill will no
longer be amortized beginning with our 2002 fiscal year. See "ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS" within Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a
discussion of these accounting rule changes.
PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES/CREDIT QUALITY
The provision for credit losses was $332.5 million and $191.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and $255.2 million and
$110.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
2001 provision includes a provision for credit losses of $89.5 million relating
to the impairment of certain non-strategic and under-performing equipment
leasing and loan portfolios of which the Company expects to dispose, primarily
in the Structured Finance telecommunications portfolio. Such under-performing
loans and leases are being liquidated, as collection efforts continue.
Net charge-offs, including special charges, were $291.8 million and
$175.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and
$235.6 million and $95.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Excluding special charges, 2001 charge-offs were $212.3 million.
During 2001, we transferred financing and leasing assets between Equipment
Financing and Leasing and Specialty Finance--commercial. Prior year data have
not been restated in the tables covering charge-offs, past due and
non-performing assets, and financing and leasing assets.

====== ====== ====== =====
The increase in commercial net charge-offs during 2001, excluding special
charges, reflects higher charge-offs across a wide number of industries,
including trucking, construction and technology as the economy slowed and
non-performing assets increased. The higher net 2001 charge-off ratio of 1.11%
for Specialty Finance--commercial reflects the transfer of the former Vendor
Technology business into this segment and was driven largely by higher
charge-offs in Europe, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region. The higher
2000 net charge-offs in Commercial Finance primarily reflect one food wholesaler
account charged-off in 2000. The higher consumer loss ratios are predominantly
driven by the manufactured housing portfolio.
Our consolidated reserve for credit losses increased to $492.9 million
(1.55% of finance receivables) at September 30, 2001 from $468.5 million (1.40%)
at December 31, 2000 and from $446.9 million (1.44%) at December 31, 1999. The
recorded provisions exceeded charge-offs (excluding special charges) by
$30.7 million, $19.6 million and $15.3 million during the nine months ended
50
September 30, 2001, and for each of the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The increase in the 2001 ratio of reserve to receivables from the
preceding two years is commensurate with management's assessment of the relative
risk of loss in the portfolio in light of weakening 2001 economic fundamentals
and higher past due loans. The decrease in the ratio from 1999 to 2000 reflects
product mix changes, as well as the implementation of our credit standards in
the acquired Newcourt portfolios.
PAST DUE AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
The following table sets forth certain information concerning our past due
(sixty days or more) and non-performing assets (and the related percentages of
finance receivables) at September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31,
1999 ($ in millions). Non-performing assets reflect both finance receivables on
non-accrual status (primarily loans that are ninety days or more delinquent) and
assets received in satisfaction of loans.

(1) For these calculations, certain finance receivables held for sale and the
associated past due and non-performing balances are included.
The broad-based economic slowdown in 2001, led by sharp downturns in
telecommunications and technology, led to increases in both past due loans and
non-performing assets. The increase in commercial past due loans and
non-performing assets included trucking, construction, retail and technology, as
well as manufacturing-steel and machine tools. In Specialty Finance--consumer,
past due and non-performing loans declined in 2001. However, the corresponding
2001 percentage of past due loans to finance receivables increased due to
significant sales and liquidation of non-strategic receivables.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes, excluding special charges, totaled
$343.7 million and $281.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
and 2000, and $373.9 million and $207.6 million for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The effective income tax rate,
excluding special charges, was 40.7% and 37.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 and 37.9% and 34.8% for the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999. The increases in both years were primarily the
51
result of increased non-deductible goodwill amortization, resulting from our
acquisition by Tyco in 2001 and our acquisition of Newcourt in November 1999.
RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
The tables that follow summarize selected financial information by business
segment, based upon a fixed leverage ratio across business units and the
allocation of most corporate expenses.
With the exception of Structured Finance, all business segments reported
improved earnings in 2001 as a percentage of AEA compared to 2000. The 2001
returns in Equipment Financing and Leasing and Specialty Finance were driven
predominantly by stronger margins and other revenue, while the Specialty Finance
trends also reflect the transfer of the higher return Vendor Technology business
into this segment and the exiting of non-strategic lower-return businesses as
described in "--Financing and Leasing Assets." The Commercial Finance
improvement from 2000 was primarily the result of strong results in factoring.
The lower Structured Finance income in 2001 resulted primarily from
significantly lower venture capital gains. The three-year Corporate trends are
primarily the result of goodwill amortization and other purchase accounting
adjustments, as well as the differences between the fixed segment leverage
ratios and actual consolidated tangible equity ratios. The Equipment Financing
and Leasing net income as a percentage of AEA dropped from 1999 to 2000, as the
relative interest margin and other revenue improvements fell short of credit
provision and operating expense increases.

FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS
Managed assets, comprised of financing and leasing assets and finance
receivables previously securitized that we continue to manage, totaled
$50.9 billion at September 30, 2001, versus $54.9 billion
52
at December 31, 2000 and $51.4 billion at December 31, 1999. Owned financing and
leasing portfolio assets totaled $40.7 billion at September 30, 2001, compared
to $43.8 billion and $40.4 billion at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The lower asset levels at September 30, 2001 reflect the disposition of
non-strategic businesses and our focus on managing down our leverage ratios,
coupled with disciplined pricing and a lower level of originations. We had
substantially concluded the deleveraging of the balance sheet at September 30,
2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we sold the United
Kingdom dealer business, substantially all of our manufactured housing portfolio
and certain other assets. We have exited the recreational vehicle and
owner-operator trucking origination markets and placed the existing portfolios
in liquidation status during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. During
fiscal 2001, we sold, liquidated or placed in liquidation status approximately
$6.3 billion of managed assets, including a total of approximately $4.3 billion
of owned assets. In October 2001, we sold an additional $700 million of
recreational vehicle finance receivables. The increase in Commercial Services
assets reflects short-term, seasonal calendar third quarter growth.
Additionally, the trends by business unit reflect the transfer of selected
commercial assets to Equipment Financing from Specialty Finance in 2000 and
selected commercial assets from Equipment Finance to Specialty Finance in 2001.
The managed assets of our business segments and the corresponding strategic
business units are presented in the following table ($ in millions).

During 2001, we entered into an agreement with The Boeing Company to
purchase 25 aircraft for approximately $1.3 billion, with options to purchase an
additional five units. Deliveries were scheduled to take place from 2003 through
2005. Previously, we entered into agreements with both Airbus Industrie and The
Boeing Company to purchase a total of 88 aircraft (at an estimated cost of
approximately $5 billion), with options to acquire additional units, and with
the flexibility to delay or terminate certain positions. Deliveries of these new
aircraft were scheduled to take place over a
53
five-year period, which started in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2000 and
runs through 2005. As of September 30, 2001, nine aircraft had been delivered.
Outstanding commitments to purchase aircraft, rail and other equipment to be
placed on operating lease totaled approximately $5.3 billion at September 30,
2001. A total of $901.2 million relates to fiscal 2002, of which $840.2 million
had agreements in place to lease to third parties.
Management strives to maximize the profitability of the lease equipment
portfolio by balancing equipment utilization levels with market rental rates and
lease term. Substantially all equipment was subject to lease agreements
throughout 2001, 2000 and 1999. Equipment (predominately rail) not subject to
lease agreements were $247.2 million, $351.0 million and $235.9 million at
September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The
current downturn in the commercial airline industry and the slower economy could
adversely impact both rental and utilization rates going forward.
CONCENTRATIONS
Our ten largest financing and leasing asset accounts in the aggregate
represented 3.7% of our total financing and leasing assets at September 30, 2001
(with the largest account representing less than 1%) and 3.9% at December 31,
2000. All ten accounts were commercial accounts and were secured by either
equipment, accounts receivable or inventory.
GEOGRAPHIC COMPOSITION
At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, our managed asset geographic
diversity did not differ significantly from our owned asset geographic
composition.
Our financing and leasing asset portfolio in North America was diversified
by region. At September 30, 2001, with the exception of California (10.4%),
New York (8.8%) and Texas (7.7%), no state or province within any region
represented more than 4.5% of owned financing and leasing assets. Our
December 1999 managed and owned asset geographic composition did not
significantly differ from our December 2000 managed and owned asset geographic
composition.
At September 30, 2001, financing and leasing assets to foreign obligors
totaled $6.9 billion. After Canada $2.0 billion (4.8%), the next largest foreign
exposure was to England, $0.9 billion (2.1%). Our remaining foreign exposure was
geographically dispersed, with no individual country exposure greater than 1.0%
of financing and leasing assets.
At December 31, 2000, financing and leasing assets to other foreign obligors
totaled $5.1 billion. The largest foreign exposures were to England,
$1.2 billion (2.8% of financing and leasing assets) and Australia,
$399.6 million (0.9%). Our remaining foreign exposure was geographically
dispersed, with no other individual country exposure greater than 0.8% of
financing and leasing assets.
INDUSTRY COMPOSITION
At September 30, 2001, our aerospace portfolio consisted of approximately
300 aircraft, with an average age of approximately nine years. The portfolio was
spread over approximately 100 accounts, with the majority (approximately 200
aircraft in the Capital Finance business unit) with major carriers. Of the 200
aircraft in the Capital Finance business unit, all complied with stage III noise
regulations, and approximately 65% were narrow body. The remaining 100 aircraft
in the aerospace portfolio were with regional carriers in the Structured Finance
segment and were not subject to these noise regulations. The portfolio was
geographically diversified at September 30, 2001 with approximately 35% of the
fleet operating with carriers in North America, 35% in Europe, 20% in
Asia-Pacific and the remaining 10% primarily in Latin America, the Middle East
and Africa.
Our telecommunications portfolio is included in "Communications" in the
industry composition table included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. This portfolio is included in our Structured Finance segment and
totaled approximately $595.2 million at September 30, 2001,
54
comprising approximately 1.5% of total financing and leasing assets, of which
11.8% were on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2001. This portfolio
consisted of 58 accounts with an average balance of approximately
$10.0 million. The 10 largest accounts in the portfolio aggregated
$196.2 million at September 30, 2001 with the largest single account under
$25.0 million. Our telecommunications transactions are collateralized by the
assets of the customer (equipment, receivables, cash, etc.) and typically are
also secured by a pledge of the stock of non-public companies.
Our 1999 managed and owned asset industry composition did not differ
significantly from our 2000 managed and owned asset industry composition.
See Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion
on concentrations.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Our business activities involve various elements of risk. We consider the
principal types of risk to be credit risk (including credit, collateral and
equipment risk) and market risk (including interest rate, foreign currency and
liquidity risk).
We consider the management of risk essential to conducting our commercial
and consumer businesses and to maintaining profitability. Accordingly, our risk
management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze risks, to
set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and
limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other
policies and programs.
We review and monitor credit exposures, both owned and managed, on an
ongoing basis to identify, as early as possible, those customers that may be
experiencing declining creditworthiness or financial difficulty, and
periodically evaluate our finance receivables across the entire organization. We
monitor concentrations by borrower, industry, geographic region and equipment
type, and we adjust limits as conditions warrant to minimize the risk of
substantial credit loss.
Our Asset Quality Review Committee is comprised of members of senior
management, including the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
Periodically, the Committee meets with senior executives of our strategic
business units and corporate credit risk management group to review portfolio
status and performance, as well as the status of individual financing and
leasing assets, owned and managed, to obligors with higher risk profiles. In
addition, this committee periodically meets with the Chief Executive Officer of
CIT to review overall credit risk, including geographic, industry and customer
concentrations.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
We have developed systems specifically designed to manage credit risk in
each of our business segments. We evaluate financing and leasing assets for
credit and collateral risk during the credit granting process and periodically
after the advancement of funds. The corporate credit risk management group,
which reports to the Chief Risk Officer, oversees and manages credit risk
throughout CIT. This group includes senior credit executives aligned with each
of the business units, as well as a senior executive with corporate-wide asset
recovery and work-out responsibilities. This group reviews large transactions
and transactions which are outside of established target market definitions and
risk acceptance criteria or which exceed the strategic business units' credit
authority. In addition, our Executive Credit Committee, which includes the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer, members of the corporate credit risk
management group and group Chief Executive Officers, approve credits that are
beyond the authority of the business units. The credit risk management group
also includes an independent credit audit function. This process and discipline
has continued following the acquisition by Tyco.
55
Each of our strategic business units has developed and implemented a formal
credit management process in accordance with formal uniform guidelines
established by the credit risk management group. These guidelines set forth risk
acceptance criteria for:
- acceptable maximum credit lines;
- selected target markets and products;
- creditworthiness of borrowers, including credit history, financial
condition, adequacy of cash flow and quality of management; and
- the type and value of underlying collateral and guarantees (including
recourse from dealers and manufacturers).
We also employ a risk-adjusted pricing process where the perceived credit
risk is a factor in determining the interest rate and/or fees charged for our
financing and leasing products. As economic and market conditions change, credit
risk management practices are reviewed and modified, if necessary, to seek to
minimize the risk of credit loss.
For small ticket commercial and consumer business originated in our
Specialty Finance segment, we utilize automated credit scoring capabilities. In
these proprietary models, we utilize statistical techniques in analyzing
customer attributes, including industry and corporate data, trade payment
history, and other credit bureau information. Model scores are measured against
actual delinquency and loss experience. Modifications are made to the models
based upon this monitoring effort as appropriate.
Compliance with established corporate policies and procedures and the credit
management processes at each strategic business unit are reviewed by the credit
audit group. The credit audit group examines adherence with established credit
policies and procedures and tests for inappropriate credit practices, including
whether potential problem accounts are being detected and reported on a timely
basis.
EQUIPMENT/RESIDUAL RISK MANAGEMENT
We have developed systems, processes and expertise to manage the equipment
and residual risk in our commercial segments. Our process consists of the
following: 1) setting residual value at deal inception; 2) systematic residual
reviews; and 3) monitoring of residual realizations. Reviews for impairment are
performed at least annually. Residual realizations, by business unit and
product, are reviewed as part of our ongoing financial and asset quality review,
both within the business units and by corporate management.
COMMERCIAL
We have developed systems specifically designed to effectively manage credit
risk in our commercial segments. The process starts with the initial evaluation
of credit risk and underlying collateral at the time of origination and
continues over the life of the finance receivable or operating lease, including
collecting past due balances and liquidating underlying collateral.
Credit personnel review each potential borrower's financial condition,
results of operations, management, industry, customer base, operations,
collateral and other data, such as third party credit reports, to thoroughly
evaluate the customer's borrowing and repayment ability. Borrowers are graded
according to credit quality based upon our uniform credit grading system, which
grades both the borrower's financial condition and the underlying collateral.
Credit facilities are subject to approval within our overall credit approval and
underwriting guidelines and are issued commensurate with the credit evaluation
performed on each borrower.
As mentioned previously, senior business unit and credit risk management are
actively involved in the ongoing, disciplined asset quality review process.
56
CONSUMER AND SMALL TICKET LEASING
We have developed proprietary automated credit scoring models by loan type
that include both customer demographics and credit bureau characteristics. The
profiles emphasize, among other things, occupancy status, length of residence,
length of employment, debt to income ratio (ratio of total installment debt and
housing expenses to gross monthly income), bank account references, credit
bureau information and combined loan to value ratio. The models are used to
assess a potential borrower's credit standing and repayment ability considering
the value or adequacy of property offered as collateral. Our credit criteria
include reliance on credit scores, including those based upon both our
proprietary internal credit scoring model and external credit bureau scoring,
combined with judgment. The credit scoring models are regularly reviewed for
effectiveness utilizing statistical tools. We regularly evaluate the consumer
loan portfolio using past due, vintage curve and other statistical tools to
analyze trends and credit performance by loan type, including analysis of
specific credit characteristics and other selected subsets of the portfolios.
Adjustments to credit scorecards and lending programs are made when deemed
appropriate. Individual underwriters are assigned credit authority based upon
their experience, performance and understanding of the underwriting policies and
procedures of our consumer and small-ticket leasing operations. A credit
approval hierarchy also exists to ensure that all applications are reviewed by
an underwriter with the appropriate level of authority.
See "--Provision and Reserve for Credit Losses/Credit Quality."
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in values of financial
instruments, including interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, derivative
credit risk and liquidity risk. We engage in transactions in the normal course
of business that expose us to market risks. However, we maintain what we believe
are appropriate management practices and policies designed to effectively
mitigate such risks. The objectives of our market risk management efforts are to
preserve company value by hedging changes in future expected net cash flows and
to decrease the cost of capital. Strategies for managing market risks associated
with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates are an integral part
of the process, because those strategies affect our future expected cash flows
as well as our cost of capital.
Our Capital Committee sets policies, oversees and guides the interest rate
and currency risk management process, including establishment and monitoring of
risk metrics, and ensures the implementation of those policies. Other risks
monitored by the Capital Committee include derivative credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Capital Committee includes members of senior management, including the
Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, and the
Controller with business unit executives serving on a rotating basis.
INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT--We offer a variety of
financing products to our customers including fixed and floating-rate loans of
various maturities and currency denominations, and a variety of leases,
including operating leases. Changes in market interest rates, relationships
between short-term and long-term market interest rates, or relationships between
different interest rate indices (I.E., basis risk) can affect the interest rates
charged on interest-earning assets differently than the interest rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, and can result in an increase in interest expense
relative to finance income. We measure our asset/liability position in economic
terms through duration measures and value at risk analysis, and we measure its
periodic effect on earnings using maturity gap analysis.
A matched asset/liability position is generally achieved through a
combination of financial instruments, including issuing commercial paper,
medium-term notes, long-term debt, interest rate and currency swaps, foreign
exchange contracts, and through asset syndication and securitization. We do not
speculate on interest rates or foreign exchange rates, but rather seek to
mitigate the possible impact of such rate fluctuations encountered in the normal
course of business. This process is ongoing due to
57
prepayments, refinancings and actual payments varying from contractual terms, as
well as other portfolio dynamics.
We periodically enter into structured financings (involving both the
issuance of debt and an interest rate swap with corresponding notional principal
amount and maturity) to manage liquidity and reduce interest rate risk at a
lower overall funding cost than could be achieved by solely issuing debt.
Our foreign operations are funded through both local currency borrowings and
U.S. dollar borrowings which are converted to local currency through the use of
foreign exchange forward contracts or cross-currency swaps. We also utilize
foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge our net investments in foreign
operations. Translation gains and losses of the underlying foreign net
investment, as well as offsetting derivative gains or losses on designated
hedges, are reflected in other comprehensive income as a separate component of
equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We regularly monitor and simulate through computer modeling our degree of
interest rate sensitivity by measuring the repricing characteristics of
interest-sensitive assets, liabilities and derivatives.
DERIVATIVE RISK MANAGEMENT--We enter into interest rate and currency swaps
and foreign exchange forward contracts as part of our overall market risk
management practices. We assess and manage the external and internal risks
associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with the overall
operating goals established by our Capital Committee. External risk is defined
as those risks outside of our direct control, including counterparty credit
risk, liquidity risk, systemic risk and legal risk. Internal risk relates to
those operational risks within the management oversight structure and includes
actions taken in contravention of our policy.
The primary external risk of derivative instruments is counterparty credit
exposure, which is defined as the ability of a counterparty to perform its
financial obligations under a derivative contract. We control the credit risk of
our derivative agreements through counterparty credit approvals, pre-established
exposure limits and monitoring procedures.
The Capital Committee approves each counterparty and establishes exposure
limits based on credit analysis and market value. All derivative agreements are
with major money center financial institutions rated investment grade by
nationally recognized rating agencies, with the majority of our counterparties
rated "AA" or better. Credit exposures are measured based on the market value of
outstanding derivative instruments. Both current exposures and potential
exposures are calculated for each derivative contract to monitor counterparty
credit exposure.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT--Liquidity risk refers to our risk of being unable
to meet potential cash outflows promptly and cost effectively. Factors that
could cause such a risk to arise might be a disruption of a securities market or
other source of funds. We actively manage and mitigate liquidity risk by seeking
to access and maintain diversified sources of funding. Our primary funding
sources have historically been commercial paper (U.S., Canada and Australia),
medium-term notes (U.S., Canada and Europe) and asset-backed securities (U.S.
and Canada). Included as part of our securitization programs are committed
asset-backed commercial paper programs in the U.S. and Canada. We have also
maintained committed bank lines of credit to provide back-stop support of
commercial paper borrowings and local bank lines to support our international
operations. Additional sources of liquidity are loan and lease payments from
customers, whole loan asset sales and loan syndications.
We also target and monitor certain liquidity metrics to ensure both a
balanced liability profile and adequate alternate liquidity availability. Among
the target ratios are maximum percentage of outstanding commercial paper to
total debt and minimum percentage of committed bank line coverage to outstanding
commercial paper. See "--Quarters and Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001--
CIT Group Inc.--Overview," "--Quarters and Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and
2001--CIT Group Inc.--Liquidity Risk Management" for a discussion of recent
liquidity risk management developments.

CAPITALIZATION
We substantially concluded the deleveraging of the balance sheet as of
September 30, 2001. During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, we sold the
United Kingdom dealer business, substantially all of our manufactured housing
portfolio and certain other assets. We exited the recreational vehicle and
owner-operator trucking origination markets and placed the existing portfolios
in liquidation status during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. During
fiscal 2001, we sold, liquidated or placed in liquidation status approximately
$6.3 billion of managed assets, including a total of approximately $4.3 billion
of owned assets. In October 2001, we sold an additional $700 million of
recreational vehicle finance receivables. Also, we received $875 million in
capital contributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from Tyco
that partially offset the impact to tangible capital from push-down accounting.
As a result, the tangible shareholder's equity to managed assets and total debt
to tangible shareholder's equity ratios reached or exceeded our targets,
improving to 8.48% and 8.20x at September 30, 2001 from 7.82% and 8.78x at
December 31, 2000, respectively.

OUR BUSINESS
GENERAL
CIT is a leading global commercial and consumer finance company that has
been a consistent provider of financing and leasing capital since 1908. With
about $48 billion of managed assets, we have the financial resources,
intellectual capital and product knowledge to serve the needs of our clients
across 30 industries. Our clients range from small private companies to many of
the world's largest and most respected multinational corporations. On June 1,
2001, CIT was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco, a diversified
manufacturing and service company, in a purchase business combination recorded
under the "push-down" method of accounting, resulting in a new basis of
accounting for the "successor" period beginning June 2, 2001. Information
relating to all "predecessor" periods prior to the acquisition is presented
using CIT's historical basis of accounting. Following the acquisition, we
changed our fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30 to conform with
that of Tyco. On September 30, 2001, we sold certain international subsidiaries
that had assets of approximately $1.8 billion and liabilities of $1.5 billion to
a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco for a promissory note equal to the net book value.
Our earnings included the results of these subsidiaries through September 30,
2001. On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased these international subsidiaries for
a purchase price equal to the net book value. The financial information
presented in this section includes the international subsidiaries repurchased
from Tyco for all periods presented; as a result, the Balance Sheet Data at
September 30, 2001 varies slightly from comparable data reported in CIT's
Form 10-K for the transition period ended September 30, 2001. For a discussion
of recent developments concerning our business, see "Recent Developments."
We commenced operations in 1908 and have developed a broad array of
"franchise" businesses that focus on specific industries, asset types and
markets, which are balanced by client, industry and geographic diversification.
We had $48.1 billion of managed assets and $6.5 billion of shareholder's equity
at March 31, 2002.
We have divested over $5 billion of non-core, less profitable assets and
reduced annual operating expenses by $150 million over the last year. These
improvements will allow us to continue to effectively execute our strategy
across our broad range of businesses.
The financial data in this section reflects the four business segments that
comprise CIT, as follows:
- Equipment Financing and Leasing
- Specialty Finance
- Commercial Finance
- Structured Finance
We conduct our operations through strategic business units that market
products and services to satisfy the financing needs of specific customers,
industries, vendors/manufacturers and markets. Our business segments are
described in greater detail below.
We offer commercial lending and leasing in all four of the segments,
providing a wide range of financing and leasing products to small, midsize and
larger companies across a wide variety of industries, including: manufacturing,
retailing, transportation, aerospace, construction, technology, communication
and various service-related industries. The secured lending, leasing and
factoring products of our operations include direct loans and leases, operating
leases, leveraged and single investor leases, secured revolving lines of credit
and term loans, credit protection, accounts receivable collection, import and
export financing, debtor-in-possession and turnaround financing, and acquisition
and expansion financing. Consumer lending is conducted in our Specialty Finance
segment and consists
63
primarily of home equity lending to consumers originated largely through a
network of brokers and correspondents.
Transactions are generated through direct calling efforts with borrowers,
lessees, equipment end-users, vendors, manufacturers and distributors and
through referral sources and other intermediaries. Since our acquisition by
Tyco, Tyco has sourced transactions to us from its customers. In connection with
this offering, we plan to enter into a financial services cooperation agreement
with Tyco under which we may have the opportunity to offer financing and other
services to Tyco and Tyco customers after the offering. In addition, our
strategic business units jointly structure certain transactions and refer or
cross-sell transactions to other CIT units to best meet our customers' overall
financing needs. We also buy and sell participations in and syndications of
finance receivables and/or lines of credit. In addition, from time to time in
the normal course of business, we purchase finance receivables in bulk to
supplement our originations and sell select finance receivables and equipment
under operating leases for risk and other balance sheet management purposes, or
to improve profitability.
BENEFITS OF THE SEPARATION
We believe the key benefits of our separation from Tyco are:
- APPROPRIATE MARKET RECOGNITION OF PERFORMANCE. We expect the separation
from Tyco to facilitate a more focused evaluation of the performance and
investment opportunities of our business, thereby enhancing the likelihood
that we will achieve appropriate market recognition for our performance.
- IMPROVED ACCESS TO THE CAPITAL MARKETS. We believe that our independence
will provide additional clarity in the debt markets we rely on to fund our
financing business, and that this clarity will improve our access to these
and other capital markets on a cost effective basis. We believe that the
separation will also enhance our credit profile and could potentially
result in lower funding rates for us.
- GREATER STRATEGIC FOCUS. The separation will permit us to focus solely on
the opportunities and challenges specific to our financial services
business. By permitting us to prioritize the allocation of our management
and financial resources for achievement of our own corporate objectives,
we believe that the separation will permit us to maximize our strengths
and opportunities.
EQUIPMENT FINANCING AND LEASING SEGMENT
Our Equipment Financing and Leasing operations had total financing and
leasing assets of $15.5 billion at March 31, 2002, representing 45.7% of total
financing and leasing assets, and managed assets were $19.2 billion, or 40.0% of
total managed assets. We conduct our Equipment Financing and Leasing operations
through two strategic business units:
- EQUIPMENT FINANCING offers secured equipment financing and leasing and
focuses on the broad distribution of its products through manufacturers,
dealers/distributors, intermediaries and direct calling efforts primarily
in manufacturing, construction, transportation, food services/stores and
other industries.
- CAPITAL FINANCE offers secured equipment financing and leasing by directly
marketing customized transactions of commercial aircraft and rail
equipment.
Equipment Financing and Capital Finance personnel have extensive expertise
in managing equipment over its full life cycle, including purchasing new
equipment, maintaining and repairing equipment, estimating residual values and
re-marketing via re-leasing or selling equipment. Equipment Financing's and
Capital Finance's equipment and industry expertise enables them to effectively
manage
64
residual value risk. For example, Capital Finance can repossess commercial
aircraft, if necessary, obtain any required maintenance and repairs for such
aircraft, and recertify such aircraft with appropriate authorities. We manage
the equipment, the residual value, and the risk of equipment remaining idle for
extended periods of time and, where appropriate, we locate alternative equipment
users or purchasers.
The following table sets forth the managed assets of our Equipment Financing
and Leasing segment at March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and at December 31 for
each of the years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2000 ($ in
millions).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, certain intersegment
transfers of assets were completed from Equipment Financing to Specialty Finance
to better align marketing and risk management efforts, to further improve
operating efficiencies and to implement a more uniform North American business
strategy.
EQUIPMENT FINANCING
Equipment Financing had total financing and leasing assets of $10.0 billion
at March 31, 2002, representing 29.5% of our total financing and leasing assets,
and managed assets were $13.8 billion, or 28.6% of total managed assets.
Equipment Financing offers secured equipment financing and leasing products,
including loans, leases, wholesale and retail financing for distributors and
manufacturers, loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration,
operating leases, sale and leaseback arrangements, portfolio acquisitions,
municipal leases, revolving lines of credit and in-house syndication
capabilities. In connection with our acquisition by Tyco, in fiscal 2002
Equipment Financing ceased origination of, and placed in liquidation status, the
trucking and franchise finance portfolios. The portfolios approximated
$1.2 billion at March 31, 2002.
Equipment Financing is a diversified, middle-market, secured equipment
lender with a global presence and strong North American marketing coverage. At
March 31, 2002, its portfolio included significant financing and leasing assets
to customers in a number of different industries, with manufacturing being the
largest as a percentage of financing and leasing assets, followed by
construction and transportation. The Small Business Lending group is the number
one provider of Small Business Administration loans in the United States, based
on dollar amount of SBA loan authorizations.
Products are originated through direct calling on customers and through
relationships with manufacturers, dealers, distributors and intermediaries that
have leading or significant marketing positions in their respective industries.
This provides Equipment Financing with efficient access to equipment end-users
in many industries across a variety of equipment types.

The following table sets forth the managed assets of Equipment Financing at
March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and at December 31 for each of the years in
the four-year period ended December 31, 2000 ($ in millions). Both the increase
in assets during 2000 and the decrease in assets in 2001 resulted primarily from
asset transfers between Specialty Finance and Equipment Financing.

CAPITAL FINANCE
Capital Finance had financing and leasing assets of $5.5 billion at
March 31, 2002, which represented 16.2% of our total financing and leasing
assets and 11.4% of managed assets. Capital Finance specializes in providing
customized leasing and secured financing primarily to end-users of commercial
aircraft and railcars, including operating leases, single investor leases,
equity portions of leveraged leases, and sale and leaseback arrangements, as
well as loans secured by equipment. Typical Capital Finance customers are
middle-market to larger-sized companies. New business is generated through
direct calling efforts supplemented with transactions introduced by
intermediaries and other referral sources.
Capital Finance has provided financing to commercial airlines for over
30 years. The Capital Finance aerospace portfolio includes most of the leading
U.S. and foreign commercial airlines, with a fleet of approximately 200 aircraft
and an average age of approximately nine years. Capital Finance has developed
strong direct relationships with most major airlines and major aircraft and
aircraft engine manufacturers. This provides Capital Finance with access to
technical information, which enhances customer service, and provides
opportunities to finance new business. As of March 31, 2002, outstanding
commitments to purchase aircraft from both Airbus Industrie and The Boeing
Company totaled 107 units at an approximate value of $5.0 billion. In addition,
we have options to purchase additional units and in some cases, the flexibility
to delay or terminate certain positions. Deliveries of these new aircraft are
scheduled to take place over a five-year period, which started in the fourth
quarter of calendar year 2000 and runs through 2005. As of March 31, 2002, all
delivered aircraft have been placed in service.
Capital Finance has over 25 years of experience in financing the rail
industry, contributing to its knowledge of asset values, industry trends,
product structuring and customer needs. Capital Finance has a dedicated rail
equipment group, maintains relationships with several leading railcar
manufacturers, and has a significant direct calling effort on railroads and rail
shippers in the United States. The Capital Finance rail portfolio includes loans
and/or leases to all of the U.S. and Canadian Class I railroads (which are
railroads with annual revenues of at least $250 million) and numerous shippers.
The operating lease fleet includes primarily covered hopper cars used to ship
grain and agricultural products, plastic pellets and cement; gondola cars for
coal, steel coil and mill service; open hopper cars for coal and aggregates;
center beam flat cars for lumber; and boxcars for paper and auto parts. Railcars
total in excess of 38,000 at March 31, 2002, with approximately 77% less than
six years old. Capital Finance also has a fleet of approximately 500 locomotives
on lease to U.S. railroads at March 31, 2002.

The following table sets forth the financing and leasing assets of Capital
Finance at March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and at December 31 for each of the

SPECIALTY FINANCE SEGMENT
The Specialty Finance segment is the combination of the former Vendor
Technology Finance and Consumer segments, which were consolidated during the
second quarter of 2001, consistent with how activities are reported internally
to management. Specialty Finance assets include certain small ticket commercial
financing and leasing assets, vendor programs and consumer home equity. At
March 31, 2002, the Specialty Finance financing and leasing assets totaled
$10.9 billion, representing 32.3% of total financing, and leasing assets and
managed assets were $17.9 billion, representing 37.3% of total managed assets.
As part of our review of non-strategic businesses, in fiscal 2001 we sold
approximately $1.4 billion of our manufactured housing loan portfolio and we are
liquidating the remaining assets. We also exited the recreational vehicle
finance receivables origination market and placed the existing portfolio in
liquidation status. In October 2001, we sold approximately $700 million of this
liquidating portfolio. The primary focus of the consumer business is home equity
lending. As part of an ongoing strategy to maximize the value of its origination
network and to improve overall profitability, Specialty Finance sells individual
loans and portfolios of loans to banks, thrifts and other originators of
consumer loans.
Specialty Finance forms relationships with industry-leading equipment
vendors, including manufacturers, dealers and distributors, to deliver
customized asset-based sales and financing solutions in a wide array of vendor
programs. These alliances allow CIT's vendor partners to better utilize core
competencies, reduce capital needs and drive incremental sales volume. As part
of these programs, we offer credit financing to the manufacturer's customers for
the purchase or lease of the manufacturer's products and enhanced sales tools to
manufacturers and vendors, such as asset management services, efficient loan
processing, and real-time credit adjudication. Higher level partnership programs
provide integration with the vendor's business planning process and product
offering systems to improve execution and reduce cycle times. Specialty Finance
has significant vendor programs in information technology and telecommunications
equipment and serves many other industries through its global network.
These vendor alliances feature traditional vendor finance programs, joint
ventures, profit sharing and other transaction structures entered into with
large, sales-oriented corporate vendor partners. In the case of joint ventures,
Specialty Finance and the vendor combine sales and financing activities through
a distinct legal entity that is jointly owned. Generally, these arrangements are
accounted for on an equity basis, with profits and losses distributed according
to the joint venture agreement. Additionally, Specialty Finance generally
purchases finance receivables originated by the joint venture entities.
Specialty Finance also utilizes "virtual joint ventures," whereby the assets are
originated on Specialty Finance's balance sheet, while profits and losses are
shared with the vendor. These types of strategic alliances are a key source of
business for Specialty Finance. New vendor alliance business is also generated
through intermediaries and other referral sources, as well as through direct
end-user relationships.
67
The home equity products include both fixed and variable rate closed-end
loans and variable rate lines of credit. This unit primarily originates,
purchases and services loans secured by first or second liens on detached,
single family residential properties. Customers borrow for the purpose of
consolidating debts, refinancing an existing mortgage, funding home
improvements, paying education expenses and, to a lesser extent, purchasing a
home, among other reasons. Specialty Finance primarily originates loans through
brokers and correspondents with a high proportion of home equity applications
processed electronically over the internet via BrokerEdge(SM) using proprietary
systems. Through experienced lending professionals and automation, Specialty
Finance provides rapid turnaround time from application to loan funding, a
characteristic considered to be critical by its broker relationships.
Consumer contract servicing for securitization trusts and other third
parties is provided through a centralized Asset Service Center. Our Asset
Service Center centrally services and collects substantially all of our consumer
receivables, including loans originated or purchased by our Specialty Finance
segment, as well as loans originated or purchased and subsequently securitized
with servicing retained. The servicing portfolio also includes loans owned by
third parties that are serviced by our Specialty Finance segment for a fee on a
"contract" basis. These third-party portfolios totaled $3.2 billion at
March 31, 2002.
Commercial assets are serviced via our several centers in the United States,
Canada and internationally. During the six months ended March 31, 2002,
Specialty Finance closed selected service centers in North America and Europe.
The following table sets forth the managed assets of our Specialty Finance
segment at March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and at December 31 for each of the
years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2000 ($ in millions). The
reduction in financing and leasing assets during 2001 reflects the disposition
(or partial disposition) of non-strategic businesses, including the United
Kingdom dealer business and manufactured housing loans.

COMMERCIAL FINANCE SEGMENT
At March 31, 2002, the financing and leasing assets of our Commercial
Finance segment totaled $4.4 billion, representing 13.1% of total financing and
leasing assets and $7.9 billion, representing 16.4% of managed assets. We
conduct our Commercial Finance operations through two strategic business units,
both of which focus on accounts receivable and inventories as the primary source
of security for their lending transactions.
- COMMERCIAL SERVICES provides traditional secured commercial financing, as
well as factoring and receivable/collection management products to
companies in apparel, textile, furniture, home furnishings and other
industries.
- BUSINESS CREDIT provides traditional secured commercial financing to a
full range of borrowers from small to larger-sized companies for working
capital business expansion and turnaround needs.
The following table sets forth the financing and leasing assets of
Commercial Finance at March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and at December 31 for
each of the years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2000 ($ in

In 1999, Commercial Services acquired two domestic factoring businesses,
which added in excess of $1.5 billion in financing and leasing assets.
COMMERCIAL SERVICES
Commercial Services had total financing and leasing assets of $0.8 billion
at March 31, 2002, which represented 2.2% of our total financing and leasing
assets and $4.2 billion, representing 8.7% of managed assets. The decline in
financing and leasing assets of Commercial Services is due to the securitization
related to $3.4 billion of trade receivables executed in connection with our
liquidity initiatives. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures
about Market Risk--Quarters and Six Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001--CIT
Group Inc.--Liquidity Risk Management" for further information. Commercial
Services offers a full range of domestic and international customized credit
protection, lending and outsourcing services that include working capital and
term loans, factoring, receivable management outsourcing, bulk purchases of
accounts receivable, import and export financing and letter of credit programs.
Commercial Services generates business regionally from a variety of sources,
including direct calling efforts and referrals from existing clients and other
sources.
Financing is provided to clients through the purchase of accounts receivable
owed to clients by their customers, as well as by guaranteeing amounts due under
letters of credit issued to the clients' suppliers, which are collateralized by
accounts receivable and other assets. The purchase of accounts receivable is
traditionally known as "factoring" and results in the payment by the client of a
factoring fee which is commensurate with the underlying degree of credit risk
and recourse, and which is generally a percentage of the factored receivables or
sales volume. When Commercial Services "factors" (I.E., purchases) a customer
invoice from a client, it records the customer receivable as an asset and also
establishes a liability for the funds due to the client ("credit balances of
factoring
69
clients"). Commercial Services also may advance funds to its clients prior to
collection of receivables, typically in an amount up to 80% of eligible accounts
receivable (as defined for that transaction), charging interest on such advances
(in addition to any factoring fees) and satisfying such advances from
receivables collections.
Clients use Commercial Services' products and services for various purposes,
including improving cash flow, mitigating or reducing the risk of charge-offs,
increasing sales and improving management information. Further, with the
TotalSource(SM) product, clients can outsource bookkeeping, collection and other
receivable processing activities. These services are attractive to industries
outside the typical factoring markets, providing growth opportunities for
Commercial Services.
BUSINESS CREDIT
Financing and leasing assets of Business Credit totaled $3.7 billion at
March 31, 2002 and represented 10.9% of our total financing and leasing assets
and 7.7% of managed assets. Business Credit offers revolving and term loans
secured by accounts receivable, inventories and fixed assets to smaller through
larger-sized companies. Clients use such loans primarily for working capital,
growth, expansion, acquisitions, refinancings and debtor-in-possession
financing, reorganization and restructurings, and turnaround financings.
Business Credit sells and purchases participation interests in such loans to and
from other lenders.
Through its variable interest rate senior revolving and term loan products,
Business Credit meets its customers' financing needs for working capital,
growth, acquisition and other financing situations that are otherwise not met
through bank or other unsecured financing alternatives. Business Credit
typically structures financings on a fully secured basis, though, from time to
time, it may look to a customer's cash flow to support a portion of the credit
facility. Revolving and term loans are made on a variable interest rate basis
based on published indexes, such as LIBOR or a prime rate of interest.
Business is originated through direct calling efforts and intermediary and
referral sources, as well as through sales and regional offices. Business Credit
has focused on increasing the proportion of direct business origination to
improve its ability to capture or retain refinancing opportunities and to
enhance finance income. Business Credit has developed long-term relationships
with selected finance companies, banks and other lenders and with many
diversified referral sources.
STRUCTURED FINANCE SEGMENT
Structured Finance had financing and leasing assets of $3.0 billion,
comprising 9.0% of our total financing and leasing assets and 6.3% of managed
assets at March 31, 2002. Structured Finance operates internationally through
operations in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Structured Finance provides
specialized investment banking services to the international corporate finance
and institutional finance markets by providing asset-based financing for large
ticket asset acquisitions and project financing and related advisory services to
equipment manufacturers, corporate clients, regional airlines, governments and
public sector agencies. Communications, transportation, and the power and
utilities sectors are among the industries that Structured Finance serves.
Structured Finance also serves as an origination conduit to its lending
partners by seeking out and creating investment opportunities. Structured
Finance has established relationships with insurance companies and institutional
investors and can arrange financing opportunities that meet asset class, yield,
duration and credit quality requirements. Accordingly, Structured Finance has
considerable syndication and fee generation capacity.
Structured Finance continues to arrange transaction financing and
participate in merger and acquisition transactions and has venture capital
equity investments, totaling $352.2 million at March 31, 2002, in emerging
growth enterprises in selected industries, including information technology,
70
communications, life science and consumer products, as well as investments in
private equity funds. The portfolio composition is approximately 60% direct
investments and 40% venture capital funds. We do not plan to invest in new
venture capital funds or make additional direct investments beyond existing
commitments.
The following table sets forth the financing and leasing assets of
Structured Finance at March 31, 2002, September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000
and 1999 ($ in millions).

SECURITIZATION PROGRAM
We fund most of our assets on balance sheet by accessing various sectors of
the capital markets. In an effort to broaden funding sources and to provide an
additional source of liquidity, we have in place an array of securitization
programs to access both the public and private asset-backed securitization
markets. Current products included in these programs include receivables and
leases secured by equipment, consumer loans secured by recreational vehicles and
residential real estate and accounts receivable of factoring clients. During the
six months ended March 31, 2002, we securitized $7.4 billion of financing and
leasing assets, including $3.4 billion of trade receivables and the outstanding
securitized asset balance at March 31, 2002 was $14.2 billion or 29.5% of our
total managed assets.
Under a typical asset-backed securitization, we sell a "pool" of secured
loans or leases to a special-purpose entity, generally a trust. The
special-purpose entity, in turn, typically issues certificates and/or notes that
are collateralized by the pool and entitle the holders thereof to participate in
certain pool cash flows. We retain the servicing of the securitized contracts,
for which we earn a servicing fee. We also participate in certain "residual"
cash flows (cash flows after payment of principal and interest to certificate
and/or note holders, servicing fees and other credit-related disbursements). At
the date of securitization, we estimate the "residual" cash flows to be received
over the life of the securitization, record the present value of these cash
flows as a retained interest in the securitization (retained interests can
include bonds issued by the special-purpose entity, cash reserve accounts on
deposit in the special-purpose entity or interest only receivables) and
typically recognize a gain.
In estimating residual cash flows and the value of the retained interests,
we make a variety of financial assumptions, including pool credit losses,
prepayment speeds and discount rates. These assumptions are supported by both
our historical experience and anticipated trends relative to the particular
products securitized. Subsequent to recording the retained interests, we review
them quarterly for impairment based upon estimated fair values. These reviews
are performed on a disaggregated basis. Fair values of retained interests are
estimated utilizing current pool demographics, actual note/certificate
outstandings, current and anticipated credit losses, prepayment speeds and
discount rates. During the six months ended March 31, 2002, we recorded
securitization gains of $62.7 million (9.7% of pre-tax income) on $3.9 billion
(excluding trade receivable securitization volume) of financing and leasing
assets securitized. During the same period in 2001, we recorded securitization
gains of $78.0 million (14.9% of pre-tax income) on $2.3 billion of financing
and leasing assets securitized. Management targets a maximum of approximately
15% of pre-tax income from securitization gains. Our retained interests had a
carrying value at March 31, 2002 of $1,267.6 million, including interests in
commercial securitized assets of $983.0 million and consumer securitized assets
of
71
$284.6 million. Not included in these balances is our retained interest in trade
receivables, net of reserves of $2.5 billion. Retained interests are subject to
credit and prepayment risk. Our interests relating to commercial securitized
assets are generally subject to lower prepayment risk because of the contractual
terms of the underlying receivables. These assets are subject to the same credit
granting and monitoring processes which are described in the "Credit Risk
Management" section of "Risk Management" in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and
Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION
See the "Concentrations" sections in "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Qualitative and
Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and Note 7 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
COMPETITION
Our markets are highly competitive and are characterized by competitive
factors that vary based upon product and geographic region. Competitors include
captive and independent finance companies, commercial banks and thrift
institutions, industrial banks, leasing companies, manufacturers and vendors
with global reach. Substantial financial services networks with global reach
have been formed by insurance companies and bank holding companies that compete
with us. On a local level, community banks and smaller independent finance and
mortgage companies are a competitive force. Some competitors have substantial
local market positions. Many of our competitors are large companies that have
substantial capital, technological and marketing resources. Some of these
competitors are larger than us and may have access to capital at a lower cost
than us. Competition has been enhanced in recent years by a strong economy and
growing marketplace liquidity, although, during 2001, the economy slowed and
marketplace liquidity tightened. The markets for most of our products are
characterized by a large number of competitors, although there continues to be
consolidation in the industry. However, with respect to some of our products,
competition is more concentrated.
We compete primarily on the basis of pricing, terms and structure. From time
to time, our competitors seek to compete aggressively on the basis of these
factors and we may lose market share to the extent we are unwilling to match
competitor pricing and terms in order to maintain interest margins and/or credit
standards.
Other primary competitive factors include industry experience and client
service and relationships. In addition, demand for our products with respect to
certain industries will be affected by demand for such industry's services and
products and by industry regulations. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to CIT's
Business--We compete with a variety of financing sources for our customers."
REGULATION
Our operations are subject, in certain instances, to supervision and
regulation by state, federal and various foreign governmental authorities and
may be subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions
imposing various requirements and restrictions, which, among other things,
(i) regulate credit granting activities, including establishing licensing
requirements, if any, in applicable jurisdictions, (ii) establish maximum
interest rates, finance charges and other charges, (iii) regulate customers'
insurance coverages, (iv) require disclosures to customers, (v) govern secured
transactions, (vi) set collection, foreclosure, repossession and claims handling
procedures and other trade practices, (vii) prohibit discrimination in the
extension of credit and administration of loans, and (viii) regulate the use and
reporting of information related to a borrower's credit experience. In addition
to the foregoing, CIT OnLine Bank, a Utah industrial loan corporation wholly
owned by CIT, is subject to
72
regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Director remuneration consists principally of cash and an award of stock
options.
Non-employee directors of CIT are paid an annual retainer of $50,000. Each
year the non-employee directors may make an election to receive some or all of
this annual cash remuneration in one or more of the following forms:
- Cash
- Stock Options
- Restricted Stock
The number of shares of common stock underlying options a director may elect
to receive instead of cash remuneration is calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The options that directors elect to receive in lieu of the
cash component of their compensation are immediately vested, but not exercisable
until one year following the date of grant. These options will have a term of
ten years. Any amount elected to be received in restricted stock will be
converted to shares of common stock with a market value equal to the closing
price of common stock on the day awarded. The restrictions on the restricted
stock will lapse on the first anniversary of the grant date.
The option component of remuneration provides for annual grants of stock
options having a Black-Scholes value of $35,000 for directors generally, except
that the committee chairmen are entitled to grants with a $45,000 valuation. At
the time of appointment to the board of directors, non-employee directors are
each awarded a grant of stock options to acquire 10,000 shares of our common
stock. The option component of director remuneration and the options granted at
the time of appointment become vested and exercisable in three equal, annual
installments. These options will have a term of ten years.
Directors who are also our employees do not receive any fees or other
compensation for service on our board of directors or its committees. We will
reimburse directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending
board or committee meetings.
For fiscal 2002, all directors to be appointed concurrent with this
offering, other than Mr. Gamper, will receive the new director grant of 10,000
options, plus a pro rata portion of the annual retainer and a pro rata grant of
annual stock options.

------------------------------
(1) For 2001, Mr. Gamper received a cash bonus of $2,002,040, based on the
performance of the Tyco Capital division of Tyco. The remainder of
Mr. Gamper's 2001 bonus was payable in Tyco common shares. The number of
shares awarded was also based on the performance of Tyco Capital.
Mr. Gamper received 25,020 Tyco common shares. The amount listed in the
table reflects the market value on October 1, 2001, the date of grant.
The amounts shown in the Bonus column for 2001 (other than for Mr. Gamper,
as described above) and 2000 represent the cash amounts paid under CIT's
annual bonus plan. The amounts shown in the Bonus column for 1999 and 1998
represent the cash amounts paid under CIT's annual bonus plan and the value
of CIT common stock or common stock units received in lieu of cash. Pursuant
to the CIT Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan ("ECP"), executive officers
could elect to receive between 10% and 50% of their 1998 and 1999 annual
bonus awards in CIT common stock or common stock units, respectively, rather
than cash. The cash portion deferred was converted to shares of common stock
or common stock units with a market value equal to 125% of the deferred
amount. CIT paid dividends on the shares of common stock or common stock
units awarded to each Named Executive Officer at the same rate applicable to
all other issued and outstanding shares. The amounts included in the bonus
column for shares issued in 1999 represent the market value on January 26,
2000 (the date of grant) of the shares of CIT common stock awarded at
$19.625 per share of CIT common stock. The awards for 1999 were as follows:
Mr. Gamper--$687,503, Mr. Hallman--$85,938, Mr. Leone--$165,007,
Mr. Marsiello--$125,011, and Mr. Zdanow--$125,011. The amounts included in
the bonus column for shares issued in 1998 represent the market value on

awarded at $32.4375 per share of CIT common stock. The awards for 1998 were
as follows: Mr. Gamper--$584,394, Mr. Hallman--$87,516,
Mr. Leone--$150,023, Mr. Marsiello--$89,073, and Mr. Zdanow--$89,073.
(2) The payments set forth in 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 under Other Annual
Compensation represent the dividends paid on restricted stock held in each
of those years. Such dividends were payable at the same rate applicable to
all other issued and outstanding shares.
(3) Restricted Stock Awards include grants made in January 2000 under a CIT
Performance Accelerated Restricted Share Plan (PARS) and in June 2001 under
the Tyco International Ltd. 1994 Restricted Stock Ownership Plan for Key
Employees in conjunction with the acquisition of CIT by Tyco. The 2001
grants have time-based vesting of, for Mr. Gamper, 100% at the end of three
years and, for the others, one-third each anniversary. In addition, shares
may vest earlier under other conditions
79
as described in the Retention Agreements described below. The values shown
are based on the market value on the date of the grant. Recipients of shares
have the right to vote such shares and receive dividends.
Awards under the PARS plan vested on June 1, 2001 due to the change of
control associated with CIT's acquisition by Tyco. The shares were issued at
a fair market value of $20.75 per share of CIT common stock. Awards were as
follows: Mr. Gamper--142,000 shares; Mr. Hallman--30,000 shares;
Mr. Leone--30,000 shares; Mr. Marsiello--30,000 shares; Mr. Zdanow--30,000
shares.
For the year 2000, Restricted Stock Awards also included grants made under a
Special Stock Award Program to Mr. Hallman, Mr. Leone, Mr. Marsiello, and
Mr. Zdanow. Payments under this plan were based on the achievement of 2000
company performance measures. Awards were in the form of restricted stock
grants recommended and approved on January 24, 2001. 50% of the award vested
on this date and the remaining 50% was subject to restriction until
January 24, 2002, except that these shares vested on June 1, 2001 in
conjunction with the acquisition of CIT by Tyco. The values of these grants
are included in the Restricted Stock Awards column based on the share price
on January 24, 2001 of $21.75 per share of CIT common stock.
The number and value at September 28, 2001 of restricted stock holdings
based upon the closing market price of $45.50 per share for Tyco common
shares was as follows: Mr. Gamper--300,000 shares ($13,650,000),
Mr. Hallman--26,378 shares ($1,200,199), Mr. Leone--29,375 shares
($1,336,563), Mr. Marsiello--31,973 shares ($1,454,772), and

Equity Compensation Plan and represent CIT options that were converted to
options to purchase shares of Tyco at the time of the acquisition of CIT by
Tyco. Options for 2001 were awarded under the Tyco International Ltd. Long
Term Incentive Plan and the Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan
II.
(5) For 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the payments set forth under "All Other
Compensation" include the matching employer contribution to each
participant's account and the employer flexible retirement account
contribution to each participant's flexible retirement account under The CIT
Group, Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the "CIT Savings Plan"). We made the

International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan II.
(3) The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the market price of
Tyco's common shares on the date of grant. The ultimate value of the
options will depend on the future market price of Tyco's common shares,
which cannot be forecast with reasonable accuracy. The actual value, if any,
an optionee will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the
excess of the market value of Tyco's common shares over the exercise price
on the date the option is exercised. The values shown are based on the
Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is a method of calculating a
theoretical value of the options based upon a mathematical formula using
certain assumptions. For this calcuation, the following assumptions were
used: an assumed life of three years; interest rate of 4.58%, which
represents the yield of a zero coupon Treasury strip with a maturity date
similar to the assumed exercise period; assumed annual volatility of
underlying shares of 38.6%, calculated based on 36 months of historical Tyco
share price movement; quarterly dividend payment of $0.0125 per share; and
the vesting schedule indicated for the grant.

The options reported are non-qualified stock options to purchase common
shares awarded under The CIT Group, Inc. Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, the
Tyco International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan, and the Tyco
International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan II. The number of options shown, as
well as the exercise price of those granted under The CIT Group, Inc. Long-Term
Equity Compensation Plan, have been converted to reflect the conversion to
options to purchase common shares of Tyco as a result of Tyco's acquisition of
CIT. The exercise price of the options ranges from $20.36 to $56.50 per share
and the closing trading price on the New York Stock Exchange of Tyco common
shares at September 28, 2001 was $45.50.
TREATMENT OF TYCO OPTIONS AND TYCO RESTRICTED SHARES HELD BY CIT EMPLOYEES
Except as otherwise provided below, the terms and conditions of Tyco options
and Tyco restricted shares issued by Tyco on or after June 1, 2001 held by CIT
employees will not be adjusted or amended in connection with this offering.
Therefore, all vested options issued by Tyco on or after June 1, 2001 held by
CIT employees will expire 90 days or, if applicable, another time period as
stated in the relevant agreement, after the offering date and all unvested
options will expire immediately upon consummation of this offering.
All outstanding options originally issued to CIT employees and directors
under CIT's equity compensation plans prior to CIT's acquisition by Tyco on
June 1, 2001, and which were converted to options to purchase common shares of
Tyco ("Former CIT Options"), will be substituted with a number of vested options
to purchase common stock of CIT and Tyco will have no further obligation with
regard to these Former CIT Options upon consummation of this offering. The only
exception to
82
this treatment is that for any active employee with Former CIT Options that is
working for Tyco as of the date of this offering, the Former CIT Options will
remain Tyco options. As of July 1, 2002, there were Former CIT Options
outstanding to purchase 6,695,582 Tyco common shares with exercise prices
ranging from $20.36 to $98.77 per share.
In February 2002, Tyco made stock option grants under the Tyco
International Ltd. Long Term Incentive Plan and the Tyco International Long Term
Incentive Plan II to certain officers and employees of Tyco and its
subsidiaries, including CIT. Options to purchase a total of 1,232,421 Tyco
common shares with an exercise price of $23.8345 were granted to 545 CIT
employees, including awards to the following executive officers: Albert
Gamper--200,000 shares, Thomas B. Hallman--50,000 shares, Joseph M.
Leone--50,000 shares, Lawrence A. Marsiello--50,000 shares, and Nikita
Zdanow--50,000 shares. In connection with this offering, all outstanding
unvested Tyco options granted in February 2002 that are held by CIT employees
will be substituted with a number of unvested options to purchase common stock
of CIT, which will be issued under the CIT Group Inc. Long-Term Equity
Compensation Plan. Of these options, there were options to purchase 1,229,671
Tyco common shares outstanding as of July 1, 2002.
The exercise price of a substituted CIT option will be calculated according
to the following formula:
E(CIT) = E(Tyco) X P(IPO)
-------
P(Tyco)
In this formula, E(CIT) is the exercise price of the substituted CIT option;
E(Tyco) is the exercise price of the corresponding Tyco option; P(IPO) is the
initial public offering price of the CIT common stock; and P(Tyco) is the
closing price of a Tyco share on the trading day immediately prior to the first
trading day of the CIT shares. This formula yields a ratio of the exercise price
of the substituted CIT option to the initial public offering price of a share of
CIT common stock that is the same as the ratio of the exercise price of the
corresponding Tyco option to the market price of a Tyco share just prior to the
offering.
The number of shares of CIT common stock issuable upon exercise of the
substituted CIT option will be calculated according to the following formula:
N(CIT) = N(Tyco) X S(Tyco)
-------
S(CIT)
In this formula, N(CIT) is the number of shares of CIT common stock issuable
upon exercise of the substituted CIT option; N(Tyco) is the number of Tyco
shares issuable upon exercise of the corresponding Tyco option; S(Tyco) is the
"spread" of the Tyco option just prior to the offering, that is the difference
(be it positive or negative) of the closing price of a Tyco share on the trading
day immediately prior to the first trading day of the CIT shares less the
exercise price of the Tyco option; and S(CIT) is the initial "spread" of the CIT
option, that is the difference (be it positive or negative) of the initial
public offering price of the CIT common stock less the exercise price of the CIT
option. This formula yields a "total intrinsic value" for the substituted CIT
option immediately following the offering that is the same, except for slight
differences due to rounding, as the "total intrinsic value" of the corresponding
Tyco option immediately prior to the offering. By "total intrinsic value" of an
option, we mean the spread (be it positive or negative) of that option, which is
a measure of its worth on a per share basis, multiplied by the number of shares
subject to the option.
For example, assume that a CIT employee has a Former CIT Option to acquire
100 Tyco shares at $25.00 per share and was granted an option to acquire 100
Tyco shares in February 2002. Based on the $23.00 initial public offering price
per share of the CIT common stock and the $13.75 closing price per
83
Tyco share on July 1, 2002, the employee would be issued substituted CIT options
for his or her Tyco options as follows:
EXERCISE PRICE OF SUBSTITUTED NUMBER OF CIT SHARES ISSUABLE UPON
CIT OPTION EXERCISE OF SUBSTITUTED CIT OPTION
----------------------------- ----------------------------------
Former CIT Option (vested)............ $25.00 X ($23.00/$13.75) 100 X ($13.75-$25.00)/
or $41.82 per share ($23.00-$41.82) or 59 shares
February 2002 Tyco option
(unvested).......................... $23.8345 X ($23.00/$13.75) or 100 X ($13.75-$23.8354)/
$39.87 per share ($23.00-$39.87) or 59 shares
The vesting schedule for the CIT options substituted for the February 2002 Tyco
options and all of the other terms and conditions will be substantially similar
to those of the February 2002 Tyco options. The terms and conditions of the CIT
options substituted for the Former CIT Options will be substantially similar to
those of the Former CIT Options. CIT will recognize a compensation expense to
the extent that the exercise price of the substitute options is below the
initial public offering price of the CIT shares.
Unvested Tyco restricted shares held by persons who are CIT employees after
the offering will be cancelled and replaced by the issuance of CIT restricted
stock. The CIT restricted stock to be issued in lieu of the cancelled Tyco
restricted shares will have the same market value (assuming no restrictions) as
the market value (assuming no restrictions) of the cancelled Tyco restricted
shares, in the case of Tyco shares based on the closing market price of Tyco
shares on the date immediately prior to the first trading day of the CIT shares
offered by this prospectus and in the case of CIT shares based on the initial
public offering price. The vesting schedule will be the same and the other terms
and conditions will be substantially similar to the Tyco restricted shares.
LONG-TERM EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has adopted the CIT Group Inc. Long-Term Equity Compensation
Plan (the "ECP"), covering directors and employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The ECP will be administered by the board of directors and/or the
compensation and governance committee of the board of directors (the
"Administrator"). As described below, the board of directors has approved a
special award of options effective upon the offering to each Named Executive
Officer and other selected participants and non-employee directors.
The ECP provides for the grant of annual incentive awards, incentive and
non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
performance shares and performance units (individually, an "Award," or
collectively, "Awards"). The terms of the awards will be set forth in award
agreements ("Award Agreements"). The Administrator of the ECP will have the
discretion to select the participants to whom Awards will be granted and the
type, size and terms and conditions applicable to each Award, and the authority
to interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the ECP. The
Administrator's decisions will be binding at all times. All awards under the ECP
will be intended to constitute deductible "qualified performance-based
compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m), provided, however, that in
the event the Administrator determines that such compliance is not desired with
respect to an Award of Restricted Stock (as defined below), compliance with Code
Section 162(m) will not be required.
The total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to Awards
under the ECP is 26,000,000 shares. Any shares of common stock under Awards that
terminate or lapse will again be available under the ECP, and any shares that
are transferred or relinquished to the Company in satisfaction of this exercise
price or any withholding obligation with respect to an Award will be deemed to
be available for Awards under the ECP. In addition, if any Awards granted under
another equity compensation plan are converted into Awards granted under the ECP
in connection with a merger or other business transaction approved by the
Company's stockholders, the number of shares of
84
common stock that may be subject to Awards under the ECP will be increased by
the number of shares covered by the converted Awards. Common stock issued under
the ECP may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or any
combination thereof.
The maximum aggregate payout with respect to an annual incentive award in
any fiscal year to any one participant shall not exceed 3% of the consolidated
pre-tax earnings of the Company. The maximum aggregate number of shares of
common stock that may be granted in the form of stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, or performance units/shares in any one
fiscal year to any one participant is 100% of the shares available under the
ECP.
With respect to any Awards based in whole or in part on performance
objectives, prior to the end of the performance period during which performance
will be measured (the "Performance Period"), the Administrator of the ECP, in
its discretion, may adjust the performance objectives to reflect an event that
may materially affect CIT's performance including, but not limited to, market
conditions, changes in accounting policies or practices, an acquisition or
disposition of assets or other property by CIT, or other unusual or unplanned
events.
Set forth below is a brief description of the Awards that may be granted
under the ECP:
ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS. An annual incentive award ("Annual Incentive
Award") may be granted under the ECP upon such terms and conditions as may be
established by the Administrator. Annual Incentive Awards may be granted in cash
or in shares of equivalent value, or in a combination thereof.
STOCK OPTIONS. Options (each an "Option") to purchase shares of common
stock, which may be incentive or non-qualified stock options, may be granted
under the ECP at an exercise price (the "Option Price") determined by the
Administrator of the ECP in its discretion. The Option Price generally may not
be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of
an Option; however, an Option granted in connection with a corporate transaction
may have an Option Price equal to the value attributed to the common stock in
such transaction, and an Option granted to substitute for another Option
(including a Tyco option) may have an Option Price equal to the economic
equivalent of the exercise price of the replaced Option. Each Option represents
the right to purchase one share of common stock at the specified Option Price.
Options will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they
were granted and will become exercisable at such times and in such installments
as determined by the Administrator of the ECP. Payment of the Option Price,
except as set forth below, must be made in full at the time of exercise in cash
or by certified or bank check. As determined by the Administrator of the ECP,
payment in full or in part may also be made by tendering to CIT shares of common
stock having a fair market value equal to the Option Price (or such portion
thereof). The Administrator may also allow a cashless exercise of such options.
No incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder of CIT shall be
exercisable later than the fifth anniversary of the date of the grant.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. An Award of a stock appreciation right ("SAR")
may be granted under the ECP with respect to shares of common stock. Generally,
one SAR is granted with respect to one share of common stock. The SAR entitles
the participant, upon the exercise of the SAR, to receive an amount equal to the
appreciation in the underlying share of common stock. The appreciation is equal
to the difference between (i) the "base value" of the SAR (which is determined
with reference to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the SAR
is granted) and (ii) fair market value of the common stock on the date the SAR
is exercised. Upon the exercise of a vested SAR, the exercising participant will
be entitled to receive the appreciation in the value of one share of common
stock as so determined, payable at the discretion of the participant in cash,
shares of common stock, or some combination thereof, subject to availability of
shares of common stock to CIT.
SARs will expire no later than ten years after the date on which they are
granted. SARs become exercisable at such times and in such installments as
determined by the Administrator of the ECP.
85
TANDEM OPTIONS/SARS. An Option and a SAR may be granted "in tandem" with
each other (a "Tandem Option/SAR"). An Option and a SAR are considered to be in
tandem with each other because the exercise of the Option aspect of the tandem
unit automatically cancels the right to exercise the SAR of the tandem unit, and
vice versa. The Option may be an incentive stock option or non-qualified stock
option, and the Option may be coupled with one SAR, more than one SAR or a
fractional SAR in any proportionate relationship selected by the Administrator.
Descriptions of the terms of the Option and the SAR aspects of a Tandem
Option/SAR are provided above.
RESTRICTED STOCK. An Award of restricted stock ("Restricted Stock") is an
Award of common stock that is subject to such restrictions as the Administrator
of the ECP deems appropriate, including forfeiture conditions and restrictions
against transfer for a period specified by the Administrator of the ECP.
Restricted Stock Awards may be granted under the ECP for services and/or payment
of cash. Restrictions on Restricted Stock may lapse in installments based on
factors selected by the Administrator of the ECP. Prior to the expiration of the
restricted period, except as and only if provided by the Administrator of the
ECP, a grantee who has received a Restricted Stock Award generally has the
rights of a stockholder of CIT, including the right to vote and to receive cash
dividends on the shares subject to the Award. Stock dividends issued with
respect to a Restricted Stock Award may be treated as additional shares under
such Award with respect to which such dividends are issued.
PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS. A performance share Award
("Performance Share") and/or a performance unit Award (a "Performance Unit") may
be granted under the ECP. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that
is established by the Administrator of the ECP at the time of grant. Each
Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the fair market value of
one share of common stock on the date of grant. Such Awards may be earned based
upon satisfaction of certain specified performance criteria, subject to such
other terms and conditions as the Administrator of the ECP deems appropriate.
Performance objectives will be established before, or as soon as practicable
after, the commencement of the Performance Period. The extent to which a grantee
is entitled to payment in settlement of such an Award at the end of a
Performance Period will be determined by the Administrator of the ECP in its
sole discretion, based on whether the performance criteria have been met and
payment will be made in cash or in shares of common stock, or some combination
thereof, subject to availability of shares of common stock of CIT, in accordance
with the terms of the applicable Award Agreements.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES. The Administrator may grant Awards under the ECP to
eligible participants subject to the attainment of specified pre-established
performance measures. The number of performance-based Awards granted under the
ECP in any fiscal year is determined by the Administrator. The Administrator
will adopt in writing each year, within 90 days of the beginning of such year,
the applicable performance goals that must be achieved in order to receive
annual performance-based Awards and, if applicable, shares of Restricted Stock,
Performance Units and Performance Shares. At the time that performance goals are
established by the Administrator for a year, the Administrator will establish an
individual performance-based Award opportunity for such year for each
participant or group of participants. A participant's individual annual
performance-based Award opportunity is based on the participant's achievement of
his or her performance goals during such year and may be expressed in dollars,
as a percentage of base salary, or by formula. A participant's actual
performance-based Award may be paid in cash, shares of common stock or a
combination thereof.
The value of performance-based Awards may be based on absolute measures or
on a comparison of CIT's measures during a Performance Period to the comparable
measures of a group of competitors. Measures selected by the Administrator shall
be one or more of the following and, where applicable, may be measured before or
after interest, depreciation, amortization, service fees, extraordinary items
and/or special items: pre-tax earnings, operating earnings, after-tax earnings,
return on investment, revenues or income, net income, absolute and/or relative
return on equity, capital invested or assets,
86
earnings per share, cash flow or cash flow on investments, profits, earnings
growth, share price, total shareholder return, economic value added, expense
reduction, customer satisfaction, and any combination of the foregoing measures
as the Administrator deems appropriate.
CHANGE OF CONTROL. Upon a Change of Control of CIT (as defined for purposes
of the ECP): (i) all outstanding Options and SARs shall become immediately
exercisable and will remain exercisable until the earlier of the expiration of
their initial term or the second anniversary of the grantee's termination of
employment with CIT; (ii) all restrictions on outstanding shares of Restricted
Stock shall lapse; (iii) the performance goals with respect to all outstanding
awards of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares and Performance Units will be
deemed to have been fully attained for the Performance Period; and (iv) the
vesting of all Awards denominated in shares of common stock will be accelerated.
FOUNDERS' STOCK OPTION GRANTS. The board of directors has approved a grant
of options to purchase shares of our common stock, effective upon the offering,
to each Named Executive Officer and all other CIT employees as set forth in the
following table. Each of these options will have an exercise price equal to the
initial public offering price and each will have a ten-year term.

RETENTION AGREEMENTS
GENERAL
Messrs. Gamper, Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow have retention
agreements as described below. Effective upon the offering date, the retention
agreements will be amended to provide that consents required to be given by the
board of directors of Tyco will be required to be given by the board of
directors of CIT.
Mr. Gamper has a retention agreement that extends until June 1, 2004.
Mr. Gamper's agreement provides that he will serve as the Chief Executive
Officer of CIT. The agreement provides for the payment of an annual base salary
of not less than $1,000,000 (which Mr. Gamper voluntarily reduced to $900,000
from the inception of his contract through the current date) and an annual cash
bonus based on performance targets. Pursuant to his employment agreement, his
base salary shall be reviewed at the time all executive officers of CIT are
reviewed.
Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Gamper was guaranteed a minimum of a
$1,000,000 cash bonus on September 30, 2001 if CIT achieved mutually agreed upon
financial targets. Mr. Gamper received a bonus in excess of this amount (as
shown in the Summary Compensation Table) as a result of CIT's fiscal 2001
performance. Provided CIT achieves at least fifteen percent growth in its net
income from
87
the prior annual period, Mr. Gamper will receive a Special Cash Bonus of
$3,000,000 on September 30, 2002.
The agreement also provided for grants of restricted stock and stock options
which are detailed in the Summary Compensation Table. The retention agreement
provides for participation in all employee pension, welfare, perquisites, fringe
benefit and other benefit plans generally applicable to the most senior
executives of CIT and continued participation in CIT's Executive Retirement
Program and all other supplemental and excess retirement plans during the
retention agreement on terms no less favorable than provided immediately prior
to the effective date of the agreement. Mr. Gamper is eligible to receive
benefits under the CIT retiree medical and life insurance plan for the remainder
of his life and the life of his spouse. In addition, Mr. Gamper is entitled to
receive expense reimbursement and certain additional benefits provided to him
pursuant to a prior employment agreement between Mr. Gamper and CIT dated as of
November 1, 1999, which shall be provided on the same basis as such benefits
were provided to Mr. Gamper prior to the effective date of the agreement.
In addition to Mr. Gamper, Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow also
have retention agreements that extend until June 1, 2004. Their agreements
provide for the payment of an annual base salary of not less than the amount
received prior to the acquisition by Tyco, to be reviewed at the time all
executive officers of CIT are reviewed. Further, they are entitled to an annual
bonus opportunity, as determined by the Chief Executive Officer of CIT. The
retention agreements for Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow provide
for participation in all employee pension, welfare, perquisites, fringe benefit
and other benefit plans, generally available to senior executives. In addition,
the agreements provide for continued participation in CIT's Executive Retirement
Program and all other supplemental and excess retirement plans on terms no less
favorable than provided immediately prior to the effective date of the
agreement. Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow are also eligible to
receive benefits under the CIT retiree medical and life insurance plan.
Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow's agreements also provide for
grants of restricted stock and stock options, details of which are provided in
the Summary Compensation Table.
TERMINATION AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
If Mr. Gamper's employment is terminated by him for "good reason" or by CIT
without "cause" (in each case, as these terms are defined in the retention
agreement), then he is entitled to a cash payment equal to (i) the sum of his
unpaid base salary through the date of termination and $1,000,000 pro rated for
the portion of the year he completed in the year of his termination, (ii) three
times the sum of Mr. Gamper's annual base salary plus $1 million, paid in
accordance with normal payroll periods in equal installments over a period of
three years, provided that Mr. Gamper continues to comply with the
confidentiality and noncompete provisions of the retention agreement and,
(iii) if not already paid, the Special Cash Bonus (without regard to CIT's
financial performance). Assuming the termination occurred on June 1, 2002, the
amount that would be paid to Mr. Gamper pursuant to these provisions if his
employment were terminated is $6,366,700, and in addition, Mr. Gamper would be
entitled to the unpaid portion of his Special Cash Bonus amounting to
$2,625,000. These amounts do not include any related tax payments that would be
payable under the agreement. Also in such event, the restricted stock and
options described above, as well as any other stock incentives then held by
Mr. Gamper, will vest immediately. In addition, Mr. Gamper will be paid or
provided with any amounts or benefits he is eligible to receive under any
benefit plan of CIT, including the retiree medical benefits described above, and
to the extent permitted under law he will be credited with age and service
credit under the relevant retirement plans through June 1, 2004.
88
Mr. Gamper's retention agreement provides that he will not, during the
retention period and for two years after the date of termination (three years in
the case of termination by CIT without "cause" or by Mr. Gamper for "good
reason" (in each case, as these terms are defined in the retention agreement)),
without the written consent of the board of directors of Tyco (A) engage or be
interested in any business in the U.S. which is in competition with any lines of
business actively being conducted by CIT on the date of termination; (B) hire
any person who was employed by CIT or its affiliates within the six-month period
preceding the date of such hiring or solicit, entice, persuade or induce any
person or entity doing business with CIT or its affiliates to terminate such
relationship or to refrain from extending or renewing the same, and
(C) disparage or publicly criticize Tyco or CIT or any of their affiliates.
The retention agreements of Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow
provide that, under certain circumstances, upon a termination of employment each
will be entitled to receive: (i) the sum of (1) his annual base salary through
the termination date and (2) a prorated average annual bonus (as defined in the
agreement) based on the number of days in the fiscal year until termination; and
(ii) the sum of (1) the greater of (x) the annual base salary payable for the
remainder of the retention agreement, or (y) two times the annual base salary,
and (2) two times the average annual bonus. Assuming the termination occurred on
June 1, 2002, the amounts that would be paid to Messrs. Hallman, Leone,
Marsiello and Zdanow pursuant to these provisions if their employment were
terminated are $2,100,000, $1,983,000, $2,013,000 and $2,153,000, respectively.
These amounts do not include any related tax payments that would be payable
under the agreements. Further, the options and restricted stock granted in
consideration of the retention agreement shall vest at the earlier of the
vesting dates specified in the award agreements, or subject to compliance with
the Confidentiality and Competitive Activity Section of the retention agreement,
the second anniversary of the termination. Each of them will also receive life
insurance and medical, dental and disability benefits for up to two years after
termination, any other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided (to
the extent not paid), two additional years of age and service credit under all
relevant company retirement plans, and outplacement services.
With respect to Messrs. Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow, the retention
agreements provide that each of them will not, while employed by CIT under the
retention agreement and for one year after termination (two years in the case of
termination by CIT without "cause" or by the executive for "good reason" (in
each case, as these terms are defined in the retention agreements)), without the
written consent of the board of directors of Tyco (A) engage or be interested in
any business in the world which is in competition with any lines of business
actively being conducted by CIT on the date of termination; (B) hire any person
who was employed by CIT within the six-month period preceding the date of such
hiring or solicit, entice, persuade or induce any person or entity doing
business with the Company to terminate such relationship or to refrain from
extending or renewing the same, and (C) disparage or publicly criticize Tyco or
CIT or any of their affiliates.
In the event Mr. Gamper or the other Named Executive Officers become subject
to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, each retention
agreement provides a gross up payment equal to the amount of such excise taxes.
RETIREMENT PLAN AND SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
The CIT Group Inc. Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") covers officers
and salaried employees who have one year of service and have attained age 21. We
also maintain a Supplemental Retirement Plan for employees whose benefit in the
Retirement Plan is subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitations.
The Retirement Plan was revised in 2000 with a new "cash balance" formula
which became effective January 1, 2001. Under this new formula, the member's
accrued benefits as of December 31,
89
2000 were converted to a lump sum amount and each year thereafter the balance is
to be credited with a percentage of the member's "Benefits Pay" (comprised of
base salary, plus certain annual bonuses, sales incentives and commissions)
depending on years of service as follows:
YEARS OF SERVICE % OF "BENEFITS PAY"
---------------- ---------------------
1-9 5
10-19 6
20-29 7
30 or more..... 8
These balances are also to receive annual interest credits, subject to
certain government limits. For 2001, the interest credit was 7.00% and for 2002
it will be 5.76%. Upon termination after five years of employment or retirement,
the amount credited to a member is to be paid in a lump sum or converted into an
annuity. Certain eligible members had the option of remaining under the Plan
formula as in effect prior to January 1, 2001.
Messrs. Gamper, Hallman, Leone, Marsiello and Zdanow are earning benefits
under the "cash balance" formula effective January 1, 2001. The following table
shows the estimated annual retirement benefits (including the benefit under the
Supplemental Retirement Plan) which would be payable to each individual if he
retired at normal retirement age (age 65) at his 2001 "benefits pay." The
projected amounts include annual interest credits at 5.76%.

EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
The Named Executive Officers are participants under the Executive Retirement
Plan. The benefit provided is life insurance equal to approximately three times
salary during such participant's employment, with a life annuity option payable
monthly by us upon retirement. The participant pays a portion of the annual
premium and we pay the balance on behalf of the participant. We are entitled to
recoup our payments from the proceeds of the policy in excess of the death
benefit. Upon the participant's retirement, a life annuity will be payable out
of our current income and we anticipate recovering the cost of the life annuity
out of the proceeds of the insurance policy payable upon the death of the
participant.
In addition to the table of pension benefits shown above, we are
conditionally obligated to make annual payments under the Executive Retirement
Plan in the amounts indicated to the Named Executive Officers at retirement:
Mr. Gamper, $463,130; Mr. Hallman, $193,312; Mr. Leone, $217,405;
Mr. Marsiello, $228,119; and Mr. Zdanow, $238,650.
OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
We maintain a defined contribution plan with a 401(k) feature. In addition,
we maintain a supplemental unfunded defined contribution plan for employees in a
grandfathered defined benefit plan.
Retiree medical and dental coverage is offered on a contributory basis to
certain eligible employees who meet the age and service requirements.
90
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
We have adopted an employee stock purchase plan for all employees
customarily employed at least 20 hours per week. The plan is available to
employees in the United States and to certain international employees. Employees
who enroll in the plan may purchase shares quarterly through payroll deductions
from their base salary at a purchase price equal to 85% of the fair market value
of our common stock on either the first business day or the last business day of
the quarterly offering period, whichever is lower. The amount of common stock
that may be purchased by a participant through the plan is generally limited to
$25,000 per year. The plan authorizes the sale of up to 1,000,000 shares of our
common stock.
91
PRINCIPAL AND SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, and will be, prior to
the offering date, held by Tyco Capital.
The following table sets forth information known to us concerning shares of
our common stock expected to be beneficially owned prior to and after the

RELATIONSHIP WITH TYCO AFTER THE OFFERING
AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The following is a description of the material terms of the agreements and
arrangements involving our company and either Tyco or its direct or indirect
subsidiaries.
GENERAL
Tyco acquired us in June 2001 and we are currently an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco. Prior to the offering date, some of our directors and
executive officers were also directors, officers and employees of Tyco and/or
its other subsidiaries.
In the ordinary course of business, we have entered into a number of
agreements with Tyco and its subsidiaries relating to our historical business
and our relationship with the Tyco group of companies, the material terms of
which are described below. In addition, in connection with the offering, we will
enter into agreements with Tyco relating to our separation from Tyco and the
ongoing relationship of the two companies after the offering date, as described
below. We will enter into these agreements while we are still a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Tyco and the agreements will become effective concurrently with
the completion of the offering.
AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE OFFERING
Tyco and we will enter into a number of agreements relating to the offering.
Forms of the agreements that we summarized below have been filed as exhibits to
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
SEPARATION AGREEMENT
We will enter into a separation agreement to address claims that may arise
with respect to our respective businesses. The separation agreement provides for
cross-indemnification and mutual releases designed principally to place
financial responsibility for possible third-party claims relating to our
business with us and financial responsibility for possible third-party claims
relating to Tyco's businesses with Tyco. The cross-indemnification includes
liabilities for misstatements relating to the registration of our common stock.
In addition, Tyco will indemnify us against liabilities for misstatements in
filings and press releases made to comply with the securities laws, unless the
misstatements are solely attributable to us. The separation agreement also
provides for the parties' access to information, insurance, cooperation in the
event of litigation and avoidance of conduct or statements that would be
injurious to one another.
TAX AGREEMENT
We will enter into an agreement pursuant to which Tyco will indemnify us for
any income-based tax liabilities, determined on a non-consolidated basis,
imposed on TCH or CIT Group Inc. (Del) for periods or partial periods ending on
or prior to the date that CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) merges with TCH. Tyco will
also indemnify us for any liability of ours or of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) or TCH
for any income-based taxes imposed as a result of the merger of CIT Group Inc.
(Nevada) with TCH or TCH's merger with us. We will also be indemnified for any
penalties imposed on us resulting from the late filing of U.S. federal income
tax returns that were prepared by or under the direction of Tyco on our behalf
and from late payments related to those returns. Tyco will also indemnify us for
any liability for U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes of New York, New
Jersey and any other state for which a unitary return was filed resulting from a
tax position reflected on any applicable income tax return prepared by or under
the direction of Tyco on our behalf which was taken by Tyco in a manner
inconsistent with our past practices. Tyco will not indemnify us, however, for
any tax liability resulting from a claim for refund filed by or on behalf of the
predecessor of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) on May 30, 2002. The agreement further
provides that we will pay Tyco for the use of any tax attributes of
94
TCH existing as of the date of the merger of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) with TCH.
We anticipate that as of the date of the merger, the tax attributes of TCH will
consist of net operating losses. The payments to Tyco will be based on the
actual tax benefits that we realize from the TCH tax attributes.
FINANCIAL SERVICES COOPERATION AGREEMENT
We plan to enter into an agreement with Tyco pursuant to which we may have
the opportunity to provide financing for Tyco customers after this offering.
Pursuant to this agreement, Tyco may offer us the opportunity in appropriate
circumstances to develop financing programs under which we could offer Tyco
customers financing, leasing, rental and related financial services and
products. We may also have the opportunity to provide other financial services
to Tyco, including financial advisory services and lease, rental and other types
of financing services in connection with the acquisition of products and
services from third party suppliers. This agreement will remain in effect until
terminated by either party on 90 days' notice.
OPERATING AGREEMENT
When Tyco acquired us, CIT and Tyco entered into an Operating Agreement,
dated as of June 1, 2001, that provided that CIT and Tyco will not engage in
transactions, including finance, underwriting and asset management and servicing
transactions, unless the transactions are at arm's-length and for fair value. In
particular, Tyco agreed that we will have sole discretion and decision-making
authority where we are underwriting, managing and servicing assets in
transactions originated through Tyco. CIT and Tyco also agreed to limit
dividends and distributions from CIT to Tyco to (i) fifteen percent (15%) of our
cumulative net income, plus (ii) the net capital contributions by Tyco to CIT,
in each case through the date of such dividend, distribution or declaration, and
that CIT will at all times maintain our books, records and assets separately
from Tyco. The Operating Agreement will terminate when CIT ceases to be a
subsidiary of Tyco.
AMENDMENT TO CIT INDENTURES
On February 14, 2002, CIT amended its public debt indentures to prohibit CIT
from:
- declaring or paying any dividend, or making any other payment or
distribution on its capital stock to Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates,
except dividends or distributions payable in common stock of CIT,
- purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring or retiring for value any
capital stock of CIT except in exchange for the common stock of CIT,
- purchasing or selling any material properties or assets from or to, or
consummating any other material transaction with, Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, except on terms that are no less favorable than those that
could be reasonably expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction
with an unrelated third party, or
- making any investment in Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates in the form of
(1) advances, loans or other extensions of credit to Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, (2) capital contributions to or in Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, or (3) acquisitions of any bonds, notes, debentures or other
debt instruments of, or any stock, partnership, membership or other equity
or beneficial interests in, Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates.
These restrictions do not restrict the merger of CIT with and into CIT's
immediate parent corporation, or a merger of CIT's immediate parent corporation
with and into CIT, provided that the surviving corporation of the merger has a
consolidated tangible net worth immediately after the merger that is not less
than the consolidated tangible net worth of CIT immediately prior to the merger.
These provisions will no longer apply if (i) CIT and its subsidiaries are
consolidated or merged into another
95
entity (other than Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates) or substantially all of CIT
and its subsidiaries' properties, common stock or assets are sold, assigned,
leased, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of in one or more
transactions or (ii) once Tyco owns less than 50% of the common stock of CIT as
long as at least two-thirds of the directors of CIT are not affiliated with
Tyco.
OTHER TRANSACTIONS
On September 30, 2001, we sold at net book value certain international
subsidiaries to a non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco. As a result of this sale, we had
receivables from affiliates totaling $1,440.9 million, representing our debt
investment in these subsidiaries. CIT charged arm's-length, market-based
interest rates on these receivables, and recorded $19.0 million of interest
income, as an offset to interest expense, related to those notes for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001. A note receivable issued at the time of this
transaction of approximately $295 million was collected.
Following Tyco's announcement on January 22, 2002 that it planned to
separate into four independent, publicly-traded companies, we repurchased at net
book value the international subsidiaries on February 11, 2002. In conjunction
with this repurchase, the receivables from affiliates of $1,588.1 million on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2001 was satisfied.
We have entered into a number of equipment loans and leases with affiliates
of Tyco. Lease terms generally range from 3 to 12 years. Tyco has guaranteed
payment and performance obligations under each loan and lease agreement. At
March 31, 2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these equipment loans and
leases was approximately $84.2 million, and the aggregate amount outstanding
upon delivery of all applicable equipment will be approximately $129.3 million.
We have periodically entered into receivables and portfolio purchase
agreements with affiliates of Tyco, pursuant to which we purchase conditional
purchase agreements, servicing contracts and other forms of receivables between
the Tyco affiliate and its customers. Certain of these purchase agreements were
entered into prior to the Tyco affiliate agreeing to be acquired by Tyco. In
connection with these purchase agreements, we have entered into related agency
agreements whereby Tyco affiliates agree to act as agents for purposes of
collecting and processing the receivables. At March 31, 2002, the aggregate
amount outstanding under these purchase agreements was approximately
$32.8 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, certain subsidiaries
of Tyco sold receivables totaling $318.0 million to us in a factoring
transaction for $297.8 million in cash. The difference of $20.2 million
represents a holdback of $15.9 million and a discount of $4.3 million (fee
income which is recognized as income over the term of the transaction).
During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, we increased the capacity
available under the factoring program with Tyco from $318.0 million to
$384.4 million and sold receivables for $360.0 million in cash. The difference
of $24.4 million represents a holdback of $19.2 million and a discount of
$5.2 million (fee income which is recognized by CIT as income over the term of
the transaction). On April 28, 2002, the capacity of the program was reduced to
$337.6 million.
Certain of CIT's expenses, such as third-party consulting and legal fees,
are paid by Tyco and billed to CIT. As of March 31, 2002, CIT has outstanding
payables to subsidiaries of Tyco totaling $26.3 million related primarily to
these charges.
On May 1, 2002, we assumed a third-party corporate aircraft lease obligation
from Tyco. The assumed lease obligation is approximately $16.0 million and
extends for 134 months beginning on May 1, 2002. Prior to Tyco's acquisition of
us, we had an agreement to purchase this aircraft directly from the previous
owner.
96
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 600,000,000 shares of common stock,
par value $0.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share. The following summary of the terms and provisions of our
capital stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, copies of which
are included as exhibits to the registration statement on Form S-1 of which this
prospectus is a part, and applicable law.
COMMON STOCK
Prior to this offering, 200,000,000 shares of common stock were outstanding.
Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all
matters, including the election of directors, and, except as otherwise required
by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with
respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of the shares of common
stock will possess all voting power. Our certificate of incorporation does not
provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Generally, all
matters to be voted on by the stockholders must be approved by a majority, or,
in the case of the election of directors, by a plurality, of the votes cast,
subject to state law and any voting rights granted to any of the holders of
preferred stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, approval of the following three
matters requires the vote of holders of 66 2/3% of our outstanding capital stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors: (i) amending, repealing or
adopting of by-laws by the stockholders; (ii) removing directors (which is
permitted for cause only); and (iii) amending, repealing or adopting any
provision that is inconsistent with certain provisions of our certificate of
incorporation. The holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights.
There are no subscription, redemption, conversion or sinking fund provisions
with respect to the common stock.
Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred
stock that our board of directors may create, from time to time, the holders of
common stock will be entitled to dividends as may be declared from time to time
by the board of directors from funds available therefor. Upon liquidation of
CIT, subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock outstanding, the
holders of common stock will be entitled to receive our assets remaining after
payment of liabilities proportionate to their pro rata ownership of the
outstanding shares of common stock.
All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares of common stock
to be outstanding upon completion of the offering will be, fully-paid and
nonassessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
Our board of directors has the authority, without further action of our
stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share, in one or more series and to fix the powers, preferences,
rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including
dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption,
liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the
designations of the series. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely
affect the holders of common stock. The potential issuance of preferred stock
may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control
of CIT, may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over market price
of the common stock and may adversely affect the market price of the common
stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any shares of preferred
stock outstanding, and we have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred
stock.
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW AND CERTAIN CHARTER
PROVISIONS
The provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our certificate
of incorporation and by-laws summarized below may have the effect of
discouraging, delaying or preventing hostile takeovers, including those that
might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock,
and discouraging, delaying or preventing changes in control or management of
CIT.
97
We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an
anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years following the date the person became an
interested stockholder, unless the "business combination" or the transaction in
which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed
manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock
sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested
stockholder. Generally, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together
with affiliates and associates, owns or within three years prior to the
determination of interested stockholder status, did own, 15% or more of a
corporation's voting stock.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the approval of certain
matters requires the vote of holders of 66 2/3% of our outstanding capital stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors. These matters include amending,
repealing or adopting of by-laws by the stockholders, removing directors (which
is permitted for cause only) and amending, repealing or adopting any provision
that is inconsistent with certain provisions of our certificate of
incorporation. Further, our certificate of incorporation requires that any
action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at
a duly called annual or special meeting of our stockholders and may not be
effected by a consent in writing. Special meetings of our stockholders may be
called only by our board of directors. In addition, our by-laws establish
advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the
nomination of candidates for election as directors.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be The Bank of
New York.
98
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock after the
offering, or the public perception that these sales may occur, could depress the
market price of our common stock and could materially impair our ability to
raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Immediately
after the offering, 200,316,302 shares of our common stock will be outstanding
(or 220,316,302 shares if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in
full). Immediately after the offering, all of the 200,000,000 shares sold in the
offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, unless held by our "affiliates," as that term
is defined by the SEC and, if applicable, subject to the terms of the lock-up
agreements described below. Upon completion of this offering, 316,302 shares of
CIT restricted stock will be issued in substitution for Tyco restricted shares.
In addition, in connection with this offering, we will issue options to purchase
an aggregate of 15,541,432 shares of our common stock; of those options, options
for 4,002,796 shares will be immediately exercisable upon completion of this
offering. We intend to register the issuance of these shares of CIT restricted
stock and the shares underlying our options on Form S-8 as described below.
Accordingly, such shares of CIT restricted stock and shares purchased upon
exercise of the options will be available for sale in the public market, subject
to the vesting restrictions on the restricted shares, the limitation on the
resale of our shares by "affiliates" under Rule 144 and the restrictions imposed
under the terms of the lock-up agreements described below. The CIT restricted
stock issued in substitution for Tyco restricted shares will have the same
time-based vesting as such Tyco restricted shares, with 68,462 shares vesting on
June 1, 2003 and 247,840 shares vesting on June 1, 2004. In addition, shares may
vest earlier under other conditions described under "Management--Retention
Agreements." The options to be issued in connection with this offering are
described under "Management--Treatment of Tyco Options and Tyco Restricted
Shares Held by CIT Employees" and "Management--Long-Term Equity Compensation
Plan--Founders' Stock Option Grants."
We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs &
Co. and Lehman Brothers Inc., as the representatives of the underwriters, we
will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or dispose of any common stock or
any securities which may be converted into or exchanged for any common stock for
a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus (other than (x) pursuant
to any employee benefit plan or stock option plan described in this prospectus,
or (y) common stock issued as consideration in acquisitions, provided that the
aggregate amount of common stock issued in such acquisitions does not exceed 10%
of our shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this
offering and provided further that any recipient of 10% or more of the shares
issued as consideration in any single acquisition of a business or entity that
is not publicly held shall agree in writing to be bound by the lock-up agreement
for the remainder of the 180-day period). All of our executive officers and
directors have agreed under lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written
consent of the representatives of the underwriters, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities which may
be converted into or exchanged or exercised for any common stock for a period of
180 days from the date of this prospectus. The lock-up agreements described
above may be released at any time as to all or any portion of the common stock
subject to such agreements at the sole discretion of the representatives of the
underwriters.
An aggregate of 27,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for
issuance under our benefit plans, including the shares described above. We
intend to file registration statements on Form S-8 covering the sale of the
shares of common stock issued under the benefit plans. Accordingly, shares of
common stock registered under any such registration will be available for sale
in the public market upon issuance of such shares of common stock pursuant to
the respective plan, unless such shares of common stock are subject to vesting
restrictions, subject to limitation on resale by "affiliates" pursuant to
Rule 144 or subject to the lock-up agreements described above.
99
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES
FOR NON-UNITED STATES STOCKHOLDERS
This is a general summary of material United States federal income and
estate tax considerations with respect to your acquisition, ownership and
disposition of our common stock if you are a beneficial owner of shares of our
common stock who is not:
- a citizen or resident of the United States;
- a corporation, or other entity that has elected to be treated as a
corporation, created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United
States or any political subdivision of the United States;
- an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income
taxation regardless of its source; or
- a trust, if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary
supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United
States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of
the trust or that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a United
States person.
This summary does not address all of the United States federal income and
estate tax considerations that may be relevant to you in light of your
particular circumstances or if you are a beneficial owner subject to special
treatment under United States income tax laws (such as a "controlled foreign
corporation," "passive foreign investment company," "foreign personal holding
company," company that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal
income tax, foreign tax-exempt organization, financial institution, broker or
dealer in securities or former United States citizen or resident). This summary
does not discuss any aspect of state, local or non-United States taxation. This
summary is based on current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"),
Treasury regulations, judicial opinions, published positions of the United
States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and all other applicable authorities,
all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
If a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will
generally depend on the status of a partner and the activities of the
partnership. Persons who are partners of partnerships holding the common stock
should consult their tax advisors.
This summary is not intended as tax advice. We urge prospective non-United
States stockholders to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States
federal, state, local and non-United States income and other tax considerations
of acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.
DIVIDENDS
In general, any distributions we make to you with respect to your shares of
common stock that constitute dividends for United States federal income tax
purposes will be subject to United States withholding tax at a rate of 30% of
the gross amount, unless you are eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax
under an applicable income tax treaty and you provide proper certification of
your eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN). A
distribution will constitute a dividend for United States federal income tax
purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as
determined under the Code. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be
treated first as reducing your basis in your shares of common stock and, to the
extent it exceeds your basis, as gain from the disposition of your shares of
common stock.
Dividends we pay to you that are effectively connected with your conduct of
a trade or business within the United States (and, if certain income tax
treaties apply, are attributable to a United States permanent establishment
maintained by you) generally will not be subject to United States withholding
tax if you comply with applicable certification and disclosure requirements.
Instead, such dividends
100
generally will be subject to United States federal income tax, net of certain
deductions, at the same graduated rates applicable to United States persons. If
you are a corporation, effectively connected income may also be subject to a
"branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by
an applicable income tax treaty).
SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK
You generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on any
gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of your shares of common stock
unless:
- the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business
within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is
attributable to a United States permanent establishment you maintain);
- you are an individual who holds your shares of common stock as capital
assets, you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year of disposition and you meet certain other conditions, and you
are not eligible for relief under an applicable income tax treaty; or
- we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation"
for United States federal income tax purposes (which we believe we are
not, have never been, and do not anticipate we will become) at any time
within the shorter of the five-year period preceding disposition or your
holding period for your shares of common stock.
Even if we are, have been or become a "United States real property holding
corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, assuming the common stock is
regularly traded on an established securities market, you will only be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on the disposition of common stock under these rules
(described in the third bullet above) if you hold or held (at any time during
the period described in the third bullet) more than 5% of the common stock.
Gain that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business
within the United States generally will be subject to United States federal
income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same rates applicable to United
States persons. If you are a corporation, the branch profits tax also may apply
to such effectively connected gain. If the gain from the sale or disposition of
your shares is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in
the United States but under an applicable income tax treaty is not attributable
to a permanent establishment you maintain in the United States, your gain may be
exempt from United States tax under the treaty. If you are described in the
second bullet point above, you generally will be subject to United States tax at
a rate of 30% on the gain realized, although the gain may be offset by United
States source capital losses realized during the same taxable year.
INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
We must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends we pay to you on
your shares of common stock and the amount of tax we withhold on these
distributions regardless of whether withholding is required. The IRS may make
copies of the information returns reporting those dividends and amounts withheld
available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside pursuant to
the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty or exchange of information
treaty.
The United States imposes a backup withholding tax on dividends and certain
other types of payments to United States persons. You generally will not be
subject to backup withholding tax on dividends you receive on your shares of
common stock if you provide proper certification (usually on an IRS
Form W-8BEN) or otherwise meet documentary evidence requirements for
establishing your status as a non-United States person or otherwise establish an
exemption.
101
The gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock
may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax. If you sell
your shares of common stock through a United States broker or the United States
office of a non-U.S. broker, the broker will be required to report the amount of
proceeds paid to you to the IRS and also backup withhold on that amount unless
you provide appropriate certification (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN) to the
broker of your status as a non-United States person or the holder otherwise
establishes an exemption. Information reporting also applies if you sell your
shares of common stock through a non-U.S. broker deriving more than a specified
percentage of its income from United States sources or having certain other
connections to the United States. However, information reporting and backup
withholding generally are not required with respect to the amount of any
proceeds from the sale of your shares of common stock outside the United States
through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain
specified connections to the United States.
Any amounts withheld with respect to your shares of common stock under the
backup withholding rules will be refunded to you or credited against your United
States federal income tax liability, if any, by the IRS if the required
information is furnished in a timely manner.
ESTATE TAX
Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a citizen
or resident (as defined for United States federal estate tax purposes) of the
United States at the time of his or her death will be included in the
individual's gross estate for United States federal estate tax purposes and
therefore may be subject to United States federal estate tax unless an
applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. Recently enacted legislation
reduces the maximum federal estate tax rate over an eight year period beginning
in 2002 and eliminates the tax for estates of decedents dying after
December 31, 2009. In the absence of renewal legislation, these amendments will
expire and the federal estate tax provisions in effect immediately prior to
January 1, 2002 will be restored for estates of decedents dying after
December 31, 2010.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters' obligations to
purchase our common stock depend on the satisfaction of the conditions contained
in the underwriting agreement, which include:
- if any shares of common stock are purchased by the underwriters, then all
of the shares of common stock the underwriters agreed to purchase must be
purchased;
- if an underwriter defaults, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting
underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be
terminated;
- the representations and warranties made by us, Tyco, Tyco Capital and TCH
to the underwriters are true;
- there is no material change in the financial markets; and
- we, Tyco, Tyco Capital and TCH deliver customary closing documents to the
underwriters.
OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
We have granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to an aggregate
of 20,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable to cover over-allotments, if
any, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and
commissions shown on the cover page of this prospectus. Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
Lehman Brothers Inc., as joint lead managers, joint book-running managers and
representatives, may exercise this option on behalf of the underwriters at any
time until 30 days after the date of the underwriting agreement. To the extent
the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be committed, so
long as the conditions of the underwriting agreement are satisfied, to purchase
a number of additional shares proportionate to that underwriter's initial
commitment as indicated in the preceding table.
COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES
The representatives have advised Tyco Capital and us that the underwriters
propose to offer the common stock directly to the public at the public offering
price presented on the cover page of this prospectus, and to selected dealers,
that may include the underwriters, at the public offering price less a selling
concession not in excess of $0.55 per share. The underwriters may allow, and the
selected dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $0.10 per share to
brokers and dealers. After the offering, the underwriters may change the
offering price and other selling terms.
The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions
Tyco Capital and we will pay. The underwriting discounts and commissions are
equal to the public offering price per share, less the amount paid to us per
share. The underwriting discounts and commissions equal 4.0% of the initial
public offering price.

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting
discounts and commissions, will be approximately $5,750,000.
LOCK-UP AGREEMENTS
We have agreed that, without the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs &
Co. and Lehman Brothers Inc., as joint lead managers, joint book-running
managers and representatives of the underwriters, we will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, sell or dispose of any common stock or any securities which
may be converted into or exchanged for any common stock for a period of
180 days
104
from the date of this prospectus (other than (x) pursuant to any employee
benefit plan or stock option plan described in this prospectus, or (y) common
stock issued as consideration in acquisitions, provided that the aggregate
amount of common stock issued in such acquisitions does not exceed 10% of our
shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of this
offering and provided further that any recipient of 10% or more of the shares
issued as consideration in any single acquisition of a business or entity that
is not publicly held shall agree in writing to be bound by the lock-up agreement
for the remainder of the 180-day period). All of our executive officers and
directors have agreed under lock-up agreements not to, without the prior written
consent of the representatives of the underwriters, directly or indirectly,
offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock or any securities which may
be converted into or exchanged or exercised for any common stock for a period of
180 days from the date of this prospectus. The lock-up agreements described
above may be released at any time as to all or any portion of the common stock
subject to such agreements at the sole discretion of the representatives of the
underwriters.
OFFERING PRICE DETERMINATION
Since Tyco acquired us in June 2001, there has been no public market for our
common stock. The initial public offering price has been negotiated between the
representatives and Tyco Capital and us. In determining the initial public
offering price of our common stock, the representatives considered:
- prevailing market conditions;
- our historical performance and capital structure;
- estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects;
- an overall assessment of our management; and
- the consideration of these factors in relation to market valuation of
companies in related businesses.
INDEMNIFICATION
We, Tyco and Tyco Capital have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against
liabilities relating to the offering, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make
for these liabilities.
STABILIZATION, SHORT POSITIONS AND PENALTY BIDS
The representatives may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions,
syndicate short covering transactions, and penalty bids or purchases for the
purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common stock, in
accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:
- Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of
the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which
creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a
covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short
position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not
greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the
over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares
involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment
option. The underwriters may close out any short position by either
exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or purchasing
shares in the open market.
- Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security
so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum.
- Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of the common
stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in
order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of
shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider,
among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open
market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through
the over-allotment option. If the
105
underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment
option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by
buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to
be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward
pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that
could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
- Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession
from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the
syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering
transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty
bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our
common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our
common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the
price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be
effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.
Neither we, Tyco, Tyco Capital nor any of the underwriters make any
representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that
the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In
addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that
the underwriters will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any
transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
LISTING
Our common stock has been approved for listing on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "CIT." In connection with that listing, the
underwriters have undertaken to sell the minimum number of shares to the minimum
number of beneficial owners necessary to meet the New York Stock Exchange
listing requirements.
STAMP TAXES
Purchasers of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus may
be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of
the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover
of this prospectus.

DIRECTED SHARE PROGRAM
At Tyco's request, the underwriters are reserving for offering to certain
eligible employees of Tyco, CIT and their respective subsidiaries (including
officers and directors of Tyco and CIT) through a directed share program up to
2,000,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price. The
number of shares of common stock available for sale to the general public in the
initial public offering will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase
these reserved shares. Any shares not so purchased will be offered by the
underwriters to the general public on the same basis as other shares offered.
Salomon Smith Barney Inc. will serve as the administrator of the directed share
program. Tyco will pay Salomon Smith Barney Inc. an administrative fee of $1
million and will reimburse Salomon Smith Barney Inc. for its expenses related to
the directed share program. Salomon Smith Barney Inc. will receive the
underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to the shares sold through
the directed share program.

to discretionary accounts that exceed 5% of the total number of shares of our
common stock offered by them.

ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the Internet
sites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the

their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms
online and, depending upon the particular underwriter or selling group member,
prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters
may agree with us and Tyco Capital to allocate a specific number of shares for
sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online
distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other
allocations.
Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any
underwriter's or selling group member's website and any information contained in
any other website maintained by an underwriter or selling group member is not
part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us, Tyco Capital or any
underwriter or selling group member in its capacity as underwriter or selling
group member and should not be relied upon by investors.

Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates have also provided from time
to time, and expect to provide in the future, investment banking, financial
advisory and other related services to us and our affiliates, for which they
have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. Lehman
Brothers Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and certain underwriters participated
in the recent offering of our 7.375% Senior Notes Due 2007 and 7.750% Senior
Notes Due 2012. Lehman Brothers Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are lead
agents, and several of the underwriters are agents, for our global medium term
note program. Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc., and Salomon Smith
Barney Inc. acted as financial advisors in connection with the acquisition of us
by Tyco. Salomon Smith Barney Inc. also acted as our financial advisor in the
sale of our UK equipment finance division to GE Capital. Goldman, Sachs & Co.
acted as financial advisor to Tyco in connection with the
108
possible restructuring of Tyco and its businesses announced on January 22, 2002.
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Salomon
Smith Barney Inc. also provided financial advisory services to Tyco in
connection with the possible restructuring of Tyco and its businesses announced
on January 22, 2002. Tyco has agreed to pay $80 million in total fees for such
services. These fees have been deemed by the NASD to constitute additional
underwriting compensation. Finally, certain of the underwriters have
participated, and participate from time to time, as underwriters, asset
purchasers or administrative agents in connection with securitizations by us of
a wide variety of assets. These underwriters received customary compensation in
connection with these transactions.
We and the underwriters and our respective affiliates also participate
together from time to time in investment activities. In particular, we are an
investor, through our affiliate, The CIT Group Equity Investment Inc., in the
Constellation Venture Capital, L.P., and the Constellation Venture Capital II,
L.P., which are both venture capital funds formed and managed by Bear,
Stearns & Co. Inc. and its affiliates.
Because affiliates of the underwriters may receive more than 10% of the net
proceeds from the offering, the offering is being conducted in accordance with
Rule 2710(c)(8) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD"). The rule requires that the initial public offering price can be no
higher than that recommended by a "qualified independent underwriter," as
defined by the NASD. Goldman, Sachs & Co. has served in that capacity and
performed due diligence investigations and reviewed and participated in the
preparation of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. will receive $10,000 from us as compensation for such role.
Lehman Brothers has engaged in discussions in the past with Tyco regarding a
possible acquisition of CIT for $5 billion. These discussions have been
terminated.

will be passed upon for CIT by Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, Washington, D.C.

CIT.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Prior to Tyco's acquisition of CIT, the independent auditor for The CIT
Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and CIT's predecessor, was KPMG LLP. The
independent accountants for Tyco are PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. On June 1,
2001, in connection with the acquisition, Tyco and CIT jointly determined that
CIT would terminate its audit engagement with KPMG LLP and enter into an audit
engagement with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, in order to facilitate the auditing
of Tyco's consolidated financial statements. CIT's board of directors approved
the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent accountants for
CIT.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31,
2000, and the subsequent unaudited interim period through June 1, 2001, there
were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures,
which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them
to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the
disagreement.
The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of
The CIT Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31,
2000 and 1999, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor
were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CIT Group Inc. ("CIT" or the "Company," formerly known as Tyco Capital
Corporation and previously The CIT Group, Inc.) is a diversified finance company
engaging in vendor, equipment, commercial, consumer and structured financing and
leasing activities. CIT operates primarily in North America, with locations in
Europe, Latin America, Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of CIT and its
subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States dollars, unless indicated
otherwise, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. On June 1, 2001, CIT was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco International Ltd. in a purchase business combination (see Note 2). Tyco
International Ltd. and its subsidiaries, excluding CIT and its subsidiaries, are
referred to herein as the "Parent" or "Tyco." In accordance with the guidelines
for accounting for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus
related purchase accounting adjustments have been "pushed down" and recorded in
CIT's financial statements for the periods after June 1, 2001, resulting in a
new basis of accounting for the "successor" period beginning June 2, 2001. As of
the acquisition date, assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair
value in the CIT financial statements. Any resulting premiums or discounts are
being accreted or amortized on a level yield basis over the remaining estimated
lives of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Information relating to all
"predecessor" periods prior to the acquisition is presented using CIT's
historical basis of accounting. CIT will continue to operate its businesses
independently as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco.
CIT consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty
percent of the voting shares unless control is likely to be temporary. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The 1999
acquisitions, which included Newcourt Credit Group Inc. ("Newcourt") and two
acquisitions in the Commercial Finance segment, were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. The acquisitions affect the comparability of the
Consolidated Financial Statements as the Consolidated Statements of Income
reflect results of the acquired operations for the full nine months of 2001 and
the full year 2000, as compared to a partial year for each acquisition for 1999.
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements and footnotes include the results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of the international subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco
for all periods presented.
FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS
CIT provides funding for a variety of financing arrangements, including term
loans, lease financing and operating leases. The amounts outstanding on loans
and leases are referred to as finance receivables and, when combined with
finance receivables held for sale, net book value of operating lease equipment,
and certain investments, represent financing and leasing assets.
At the time of designation for sale, securitization or syndication by
management, assets are classified as finance receivables held for sale. These
assets are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME RECOGNITION
Finance income includes interest on loans, the accretion of income on direct
financing leases, and rents on operating leases. Related origination and other
nonrefundable fees and direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an
adjustment of finance income over the contractual life of the transactions.
Income on finance receivables other than leveraged leases is recognized on an
accrual basis commencing in the month of origination using methods that
generally approximate the interest method. Leveraged lease income is recognized
on a basis calculated to achieve a constant after-tax rate of return for periods
in which CIT has a positive investment in the transaction, net of related
deferred tax liabilities. Rental income on operating leases is recognized on an
accrual basis.
The accrual of finance income on commercial finance receivables is generally
suspended and an account is placed on non-accrual status when payment of
principal or interest is contractually delinquent for 90 days or more, or
earlier when, in the opinion of management, full collection of all principal and
interest due is doubtful. Given the nature of revolving credit facilities,
including those combined with term loan facilities (advances and interest
accruals increase revolving loan balances and payments reduce revolving loan
balances), the placement of revolving credit facilities on non-accrual status
includes the review of other qualitative and quantitative credit-related
factors, and generally does not result in the reversal of significant amounts of
accrued interest. To the extent the estimated fair value of collateral does not
satisfy both the principal and accrued interest outstanding, accrued but
uncollected interest at the date an account is placed on non-accrual status is
reversed and charged against income. Subsequent interest received is applied to
the outstanding principal balance until such time as the account is collected,
charged-off or returned to accrual status. The accrual of finance income on
consumer loans is suspended, and all previously accrued but uncollected income
is reversed, when payment of principal and/or interest on consumer finance
receivables is contractually delinquent for 90 days or more.
Other revenue includes the following: (1) factoring commissions,
(2) commitment, facility, letters of credit and syndication fees, (3) servicing
fees and (4) gains and losses from the sales of leasing equipment, venture
capital investments and sales and securitizations of finance receivables.
LEASE FINANCING
Direct financing leases are recorded at the aggregate future minimum lease
payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income. Operating
lease equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and is
depreciated to estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the
lease term or projected economic life of the asset. Equipment acquired in
satisfaction of loans and subsequently placed on operating lease is recorded at
the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value when acquired. Lease
receivables include leveraged leases, for which a major portion of the funding
is provided by third party lenders on a nonrecourse basis, with CIT providing
the balance and acquiring title to the property. Leveraged leases are recorded
at the aggregate value of future minimum lease payments plus estimated residual
value, less nonrecourse third party debt and unearned finance income. Management
performs periodic reviews of the estimated residual values with impairment,
other than temporary, recognized in the current period.
RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON FINANCE RECEIVABLES
The consolidated reserve for credit losses is periodically reviewed for
adequacy considering economic conditions, collateral values and credit quality
indicators, including historical and expected
F-11
CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
charge-off experience and levels of past due loans and non-performing assets.
Changes in economic conditions or other events affecting specific obligors or
industries may necessitate additions or deductions to the consolidated reserve
for credit losses. In management's judgment the consolidated reserve for credit
losses is adequate to provide for credit losses inherent in the portfolio.
CHARGE-OFF OF FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Finance receivables are reviewed periodically to determine the probability
of loss. Charge-offs are taken after considering such factors as the borrower's
financial condition and the value of underlying collateral and guarantees
(including recourse to dealers and manufacturers). Such charge-offs are deducted
from the carrying value of the related finance receivables. To the extent that
an unrecovered balance remains due, a final charge-off is taken at the time
collection efforts are deemed no longer useful. Charge-offs are recorded on
consumer and certain small ticket commercial finance receivables beginning at
180 days of contractual delinquency based upon historical loss severity.
Collections on accounts previously charged off are recorded as increases to the
reserve for credit losses.
IMPAIRED LOANS
Impaired loans include any loan transaction, outside of homogeneous pools of
loans, that is placed on non-accrual status or any troubled debt restructuring.
Such loans are subject to periodic individual review by CIT's Asset Quality
Review Committee ("AQR"). The AQR, which is comprised of members of senior
management, reviews overall portfolio performance, as well as individual
accounts meeting certain credit risk grading parameters. Excluded from impaired
loans are: 1) certain individual small-dollar, commercial non-accrual loans for
which the collateral value supports the outstanding balance and the continuation
of earning status, 2) consumer loans, which are subject to automatic charge-off
procedures, and 3) short-term factoring customer receivables, generally having
terms of no more than 30 days. Loan impairment is defined as any shortfall
between the estimated value and the recorded investment in the loan, with the
estimated value determined using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
A review for impairment of long-lived assets, such as operating lease
equipment, is performed at least annually and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
GOODWILL AND OTHER IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLES
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of identifiable assets acquired, less the estimated fair value of
liabilities assumed from business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible
assets are amortized from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis over
estimated lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. CIT implemented Statement of
Financial Accounting
F-12
CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on
October 1, 2001. See "ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS" in Note 1 for more information
on SFAS No. 142.
SECURITIZATIONS
Pools of assets are originated and sold to independent trusts which, in
turn, issue securities to investors backed by the asset pools. CIT retains the
servicing rights and participates in certain cash flows from the pools. The
present value of expected net cash flows (after payment of principal and
interest to certificate and/or note holders and credit-related disbursements)
that exceeds the estimated cost of servicing is recorded at the time of sale as
a "retained interest." Retained interests in securitized assets are included in
other assets and classified as available-for-sale securities under SFAS 115.
CIT, in its estimation of those net cash flows and retained interests,
inherently employs a variety of financial assumptions, including loan pool
credit losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates. These assumptions are
supported by both CIT's historical experience, market trends and anticipated
performance relative to the particular assets securitized. Subsequent to the
recording of retained interests, CIT reviews such values quarterly. Fair values
of retained interests are calculated utilizing current and anticipated credit
losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates and are then compared to the
respective carrying values. Losses, representing the excess of carrying value
over estimated current fair value, are recorded as an impairment charge
($33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $3.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2000). Unrealized gains are not credited to current
earnings but are reflected in shareholder's equity as part of other
comprehensive income.
During September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities--a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125."
SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material effect on the accounting for, or the
structure of, CIT's securitization transactions.
OTHER ASSETS
Assets received in satisfaction of loans are carried at the lower of
carrying value or estimated fair value less selling costs, with write-downs at
the time of receipt recognized by recording a charge-off. Subsequent write-downs
of such assets, which may be required due to a decline in estimated fair market
value after receipt, are reflected in general operating expenses.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity securities
included in CIT's venture capital investment companies are included directly in
operations. Unrealized gains and losses, representing the difference between
carrying value and estimated current fair market value, for all other debt and
marketable equity securities are recorded in other comprehensive income, a
separate component of equity.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method,
whereby the investment balance is carried at cost and adjusted for the
proportionate share of undistributed earnings or losses. Unrealized intercompany
profits and losses are eliminated until realized, as if the joint venture were
consolidated.
F-13
CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Investments in debt and equity securities of non-public companies are
carried at cost. These valuations are periodically reviewed and a write-down is
recorded if a decline in value is considered other than temporary. Gains and
losses are recognized upon sale or write-down of these investments as a
component of other revenues.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CIT uses interest rate, currency swaps and foreign exchange forward
contracts as part of a worldwide market risk management program to hedge against
the effects of future interest rate and currency fluctuations. CIT does not
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
On January 1, 2001, CIT adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." Derivative instruments are recognized in
the balance sheet at their fair values, and changes in fair values are
recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivatives qualify as hedges of
future cash flows. For derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows,
the effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded temporarily in
accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity, and
contractual cash flows, along with the related impact of the hedged items,
continue to be recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a hedge is
reported in current earnings. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income
are reclassified to earnings in the same period that the hedged transaction
impacts earnings.
The net interest differential, including premiums paid or received, if any,
on interest rate swaps, is recognized on an accrual basis as an adjustment to
finance income or as interest expense to correspond with the hedged position. In
the event that early termination of a derivative instrument occurs, the gain or
loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged
transaction is recognized in earnings.
CIT utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to
convert U.S. dollar borrowings into local currency in such instances that local
borrowings are not cost effective or available. CIT also utilizes foreign
exchange forward contracts to hedge its net investments in foreign operations.
These instruments are designated as hedges and resulting gains and losses are
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of
equity.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to the Tyco acquisition, stock option plans were accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). In accordance with APB 25, no compensation
expense is recognized for stock options issued. Compensation expense associated
with restricted stock awards is recognized over the associated vesting periods.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
CIT has operations in Canada, Europe and other countries outside the United
States. The functional currency for these foreign operations is the local
currency. The value of the assets and liabilities of these operations is
translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance
sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange
rates effective during the year. The resulting foreign currency translation
gains and losses, as well as offsetting gains
F-14
CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
and losses on hedges of net investments in foreign operations, are reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based
on the differences between the book values and the tax basis of particular
assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset
any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and interest-bearing deposits, which
generally represent overnight money market investments of excess cash borrowed
in the commercial paper market and maintained for liquidity purposes. Cash
inflows and outflows from commercial paper borrowings and most factoring
receivables are presented on a net basis in the Statements of Cash Flows, as
their original term is generally less than 90 days.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains on securitization
retained interests, foreign currency translation adjustments pertaining to both
the net investment in foreign operations and the related derivatives designated
as hedges of such investments and commencing January 1, 2001, the changes in
fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS
No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method. In addition, companies are required to
review goodwill and intangible assets reported in connection with prior
acquisitions, possibly disaggregate and report separately previously identified
intangible assets and possibly reclassify certain intangible assets into
goodwill. SFAS No. 142 establishes new guidelines for accounting for goodwill
and other intangible assets. CIT implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 142 on
October 1, 2001. Since adoption, existing goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. See Note 25 for
further discussion related to SFAS No. 142 and goodwill amortization.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of
F-15

tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. CIT is
currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting
model for impairment of long-lived assets. CIT is currently assessing the impact
of this new standard.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION BY TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.
The purchase price paid by Tyco for CIT plus related purchase accounting
adjustments was valued at approximately $9.5 billion and is presented as "Parent
company investment" as of June 1, 2001 in the Consolidated Statements of
Shareholder's Equity. The $9.5 billion value consisted of the following: the
issuance of approximately 133.0 million Tyco common shares valued at
$6,650.5 million on June 1, 2001 in exchange for approximately 73% of the
outstanding CIT common stock (including exchangeable shares of CIT Exchangeco,
Inc.); the payment of $2,486.4 million in cash to Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited
("DKB") on June 1, 2001 for approximately 27% of the outstanding CIT common
stock; options for Tyco common shares valued at $318.6 million issued in
exchange for CIT stock options; and $29.2 million in acquisition-related costs
incurred by Tyco. In addition, $22.3 million in acquisition-related costs
incurred by Tyco were paid and have been reflected in CIT's equity as an
additional capital contribution. The purchase of the CIT common stock held by
DKB, which was contingent upon the satisfication of the conditions of the
merger, took place immediately prior to the closing of the merger on June 1,
2001.
CIT recorded acquired assets and liabilities at their estimated fair value.
Approximately, $4.7 billion of goodwill and other intangible assets were
recorded, which represents the excess of the transaction purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired and purchase accounting liabilities
established which result in additional liabilities. Fair value estimates are
subject to future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are
obtained or when restructuring plans are committed to or finalized. Such
liabilities would be recorded as additional purchase accounting adjustments.
In conjunction with the Tyco acquisition, work force reduction and exit
plans were formulated. As of September 30, 2001, 671 employees have been
terminated, or have been identified for and notified of early termination. In
all cases, the benefit arrangements have been announced to these employees.
The following table summarizes purchase accounting liabilities recorded in
connection with the Tyco acquisition ($ in millions).

December 31, 2000. Retained interests include interest-only strips, retained
subordinated securities, and cash reserve accounts related to securitizations.
The carrying value of the retained interests in securitized assets is reviewed
quarterly for valuation impairment.
The securitization programs cover a wide range of products and collateral
types with significantly different prepayment and credit risk characteristics.
The prepayment speed, in the tables below, is based on Constant Prepayment Rate
("CPR") which expresses payments as a function of the declining amount of loans
at a compound annual rate. Expected credit losses are based upon annual loss
rates.
The key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the
date of securitization for transactions completed during 2001 were as follows:
COMMERCIAL
EQUIPMENT
-------------------
Prepayment speed............................................ 6.98%--56.74%
Expected credit losses...................................... 0.00%--11.08%
Weighted average discount rate.............................. 7.94%--16.00%
Weighted average life (in years)............................ 0.90 -- 2.61
Ranges of key economic assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the
retained interests in securitized assets by product type at September 30, 2001
were as follows:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution.
Changes in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions generally
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to
the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a
variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest
is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one
factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market
interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses),
which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
The following tables summarize static pool credit losses, which represent
the sum of actual losses (life to date) and projected future credit losses,
divided by the original balance of each pool of the respective assets. Amounts
shown for each year are a weighted average for the securitizations during the

NOTE 10--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As part of managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, CIT,
as an end-user, enters into various interest rate swap transactions, all of
which are transacted in over-the-counter markets, with other financial
institutions acting as principal counterparties. CIT uses derivatives for
hedging purposes only, and does not enter into derivative financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge
and hedge accounting treatment, derivatives entered into are designated
according to a hedge objective against a specific liability, including
commercial paper, or a specifically underwritten debt issue. The notional
amounts, rates, indices and maturities of CIT's derivatives are required to
closely match the related terms of CIT's hedged liabilities. CIT exchanges
variable-rate interest on certain debt instruments for fixed-rate amounts. These
interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. CIT also exchanges
fixed-rate interest on certain of its debt for variable-rate. These interest
rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges.
CIT uses foreign exchange forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to
convert U.S. dollar borrowings into local currency to the extent that local
borrowings are not cost effective or available. CIT also uses foreign exchange
forward contracts to hedge its net investment in foreign operations.
The following table presents the notional principal amounts of interest rate
swaps by class and the corresponding hedged liability position at September 30,
2001.

CIT is exposed to credit risk to the extent that the counterparty fails to
perform under the terms of a derivative instrument. This risk is measured as the
market value of interest rate swaps or foreign exchange forwards with a positive
fair value, which totaled $307.5 million at September 30, 2001, reduced by the
effects of master netting agreements as presented in Note 20--"Fair Values of
Financial Instruments." CIT manages this credit risk by requiring that all
derivative transactions be conducted with counterparties rated investment grade
by nationally recognized rating agencies, with the majority of the
counterparties rated "AA" or higher, and by setting limits on the exposure with
any individual counterparty. Accordingly, counterparty credit risk at
September 30, 2001 is not considered significant.

RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT PLANS
Certain employees of CIT who have completed one year of service and are
21 years of age or older participate in The CIT Group, Inc. Retirement Plan (the
"Plan"). The retirement benefits under the Plan are based on the employee's age,
years of benefit service, and a percentage of qualifying compensation. Plan
assets consist of marketable securities, including common stock and government
and corporate debt securities. CIT funds the Plan to the extent it qualifies for
an income tax deduction. Such funding is charged to salaries and employee
benefits expense.
CIT also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to
eligible retired employees. Salaried participants generally become eligible for
retiree health care benefits after reaching age 55 with 10 years of benefit
service and 11 years of medical plan participation. Generally, the medical plans
pay a stated percentage of most medical expenses reduced by a deductible as well
as by payments made by government programs and other group coverage. The plans
are funded on a pay as you go basis.
The following tables set forth the change in obligations, plan assets and
funded status of the plans as well as the net periodic benefit cost ($ in

NOTE 18--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal proceedings
pending against CIT. Management believes that the aggregate liabilities, if any,
arising from such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of CIT.
NOTE 19--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of meeting the financing needs of its customers, CIT
enters into various credit-related commitments. These financial instruments
generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize
potential credit risk, CIT generally requires collateral and other
credit-related terms and conditions from the customer. At the time
credit-related commitments are granted, the fair value of the underlying
collateral and guarantees typically approximates or exceeds the contractual
amount of the commitment. In the event a customer defaults on the underlying
transaction, the maximum potential loss will generally be limited to the
contractual amount outstanding less the value of all underlying collateral and
guarantees.
The accompanying table summarizes the contractual amounts of credit-related
commitments ($ in millions).

agreements with both Airbus Industrie and The Boeing Company to purchase a total
of 88 aircraft (at an estimated cost of approximately $5 billion), with options
to acquire additional units, and with the flexibility to delay or terminate
certain positions. Deliveries of these new aircraft are scheduled to take place
over a five-year period, which started in the fourth quarter of calendar year
2000 and runs through 2005. As of September 30, 2001, nine aircraft have been
delivered. Outstanding commitments to purchase aircraft, rail and other
equipment to be placed on operating lease totaled approximately $5.3 billion at
September 30, 2001. A total of $901.2 million relates to fiscal 2002, of which
$840.2 million have agreements in place to lease to third parties.
NOTE 20--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of CIT's financial instruments,
excluding leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS 13. The fair value
estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument, assuming adequate
market liquidity. Because no established trading market exists for a significant
portion of CIT's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on
judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect
the estimated fair values. Because of these limitations, management provides no
assurance that the estimated fair values presented would necessarily be realized
upon disposition or sale.
Actual fair values in the marketplace are affected by other significant
factors, such as supply and demand, investment trends and the motivations of
buyers and sellers, which are not considered in the methodology used to
determine the estimated fair values presented. In addition, fair value estimates
are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of future business transactions and the value of assets and liabilities
that are part of CIT's overall value but are not considered financial
instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments include customer base, operating lease equipment, premises
and equipment, assets received in satisfaction of loans, and deferred tax
balances. In addition, tax effects relating to the unrealized gains and losses
(differences in estimated fair values and carrying values) have not been
considered in these estimates and can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair
value because they have short maturities and do not present significant credit
risks. Credit-related commitments, as disclosed in Note 19--"Commitments and
Contingencies", are primarily short-term floating-rate contracts whose terms and
conditions are individually negotiated, taking into account the creditworthiness
of the customer and the nature, accessibility and quality of the collateral and
guarantees. Therefore, the fair value of credit-related commitments, if
exercised, would approximate their contractual amounts.

(1) The fair value of performing fixed-rate loans was estimated based upon a
present value discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates that were
being offered at the end of the year for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. Discount rates used in the present
value calculation range from 7.26% to 8.57% for 2001 and 8.14% to 10.01% for
2000. The maturities used represent the average contractual maturities
adjusted for prepayments. For floating-rate loans that reprice frequently
and have no significant change in credit quality, fair value approximates
carrying value. The net carrying value of lease finance receivables not
subject to fair value disclosure totaled $8.2 billion in 2001 and
$10.4 billion in 2000.
(2) Other assets subject to fair value disclosure include accrued interest
receivable, retained interests in securitizations and investment
securities. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates
fair value. Investment securities actively traded in a secondary market were
valued using quoted available market prices. Investments not actively traded
in a secondary market were valued based upon recent selling price or present
value discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying value of other assets not
subject to fair value disclosure totaled $1,433.6 million at September 30,
2001 and $1,202.2 million at December 31, 2000.
(3) The estimated fair value of commercial paper approximates carrying value
due to the relatively short maturities.
(4) The carrying value of fixed-rate senior notes and subordinated fixed-rate
notes includes $257.5 million and $288.6 million of accrued interest at
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The variable-rate
senior notes include $58.3 million and $91.2 million of accrued interest at
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. These amounts are
excluded from the other liabilities balances in this table. Fixed-rate notes
were valued using a present value discounted cash flow analysis with a
discount rate approximating current market rates for issuances by CIT of
similar term debt at the end of the year. Discount rates used in the present
value calculation ranged from 2.59% to 5.89% in 2001 and 6.10% to 8.31% in
2000.

approximates carrying value due to their short settlement terms. Other
liabilities include accrued liabilities and deferred federal income taxes.
Accrued liabilities and payables with no stated maturities have an estimated
fair value that approximates carrying value. The carrying value of other
liabilities not subject to fair value disclosure totaled $189.5 million in
2001 and $607.5 million in 2000.
(6) Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities of
subsidiary trust holding solely debentures of the Company were valued using
a present value discounted cash flow analysis with a discount rate
approximating current market rates of similar issuances at the end of the
year.
(7) CIT enters into derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes only.
The estimated fair values are obtained from dealer quotes and represent the
net amount receivable or payable to terminate the agreement, taking into
account current market interest rates and counter-party credit risk. See
Note 10--"Derivative Financial Instruments" for notional principal amounts
associated with the instruments.
NOTE 21--CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
CIT and Tyco have agreed that CIT and Tyco will not engage in transactions,
including finance, underwriting and asset management and servicing transactions,
unless the transactions are at arm's-length and for fair value. In particular,
they have agreed that CIT will have sole discretion and decision-making
authority where CIT is underwriting, managing and servicing assets in
transactions originated through Tyco. CIT and Tyco have also agreed on a
limitation of dividends and distributions from CIT to Tyco, calculated generally
based on the net income of CIT, and that CIT will at all times maintain its
books, records and assets separately from Tyco.
On September 26, 2001, certain subsidiaries of Tyco sold receivables
totaling $318.0 million to CIT in a factoring transaction for $297.8 million in
cash. The difference of $20.2 million represents a holdback of $15.9 million and
a discount of $4.3 million (fee income which will be recognized by CIT as income
over the term of the transaction).
Certain of CIT's expenses, such as third-party consulting and legal fees,
are paid by Tyco and then subsequently billed to CIT. As of September 30, 2001,
CIT has an outstanding payable to subsidiaries of Tyco of $7.6 million related
primarily to these charges. Tyco made capital contributions to CIT aggregating
$898.3 million during the four months ended September 30, 2001, including
$200 million in the form of a note receivable from Tyco. The note did not bear
interest and has since been paid.

NOTE 22--BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S POLICY IN IDENTIFYING REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
CIT's reportable segments are comprised of strategic business units
aggregated into segments based upon the commonality of their products,
customers, distribution methods, operations and servicing, and the nature of
their regulatory environment.
TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
CIT has four reportable segments: Equipment Financing and Leasing, Specialty
Finance, Commercial Finance and Structured Finance. Equipment Financing and
Leasing, Specialty Finance and Structured Finance offer secured lending and
leasing products to midsize and larger companies across a variety of industries,
including aerospace, construction, rail, machine tool, business aircraft,
technology, manufacturing and transportation. For the year ended December 31,
1999, CIT's internal financial information reflected the combination of the two
former Newcourt segments (Vendor Technology Finance and Structured Finance) in
the Specialty Finance segment, due to the short period from the acquisition date
to the end of the year and the business restructuring which took place as of
year end. The Commercial Finance segment offers secured lending and receivables
collection as well as other financial products to small and midsize companies.
These include secured revolving lines of credit and term loans, credit
protection, accounts receivable collection, import and export financing and
factoring, debtor-in-possession and turnaround financing. The Specialty Finance
segment also offers home equity products to consumers primarily through a
network of brokers and correspondents. The Specialty Finance segment resulted
from the combination of the former Vendor Technology Finance and Consumer
segments in fiscal 2001, consistent with how activities are reported internally
to management since June 30, 2001. CIT has reclassified comparative prior period
information to reflect this change. Also in fiscal 2001, CIT transferred
financing and leasing assets from Equipment Financing to Specialty Finance.
Prior year segment balances have not been restated to conform to the current
year asset transfers as it is impractical to do so.
SEGMENT PROFIT AND ASSETS
Because CIT generates a majority of its revenue from interest, fees and
asset sales, management relies primarily on operating revenues to assess the
performance of the segment. CIT also evaluates segment performance based on
profit after income taxes, as well as asset growth, credit risk management and
other factors.

which goodwill is no longer amortized but instead will be assessed for
impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Under
the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, as of October 1, 2001, there was no
goodwill impairment.

CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CIT Group Inc. ("CIT" or "the Company"), formerly known as Tyco Capital
Corporation and previously The CIT Group, Inc., is a diversified finance company
engaging in vendor, equipment, commercial, consumer and structured financing and
leasing activities.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION--These financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") in the United States and should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the transitional nine-month period
ended September 30, 2001. These financial statements have not been examined by
independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of CIT's
financial position and results of operations. Certain prior period amounts have
been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
On June 1, 2001, the Company was acquired by a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco International Ltd. in a purchase business combination. Tyco
International Ltd. and its subsidiaries, excluding CIT and its subsidiaries, are
referred to herein as the "Parent" or "Tyco." In accordance with the guidelines
for accounting for business combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus
related purchase accounting adjustments, were "pushed down" and recorded in
CIT's financial statements for the periods after June 1, 2001, resulting in a
new basis of accounting for the "successor" period beginning June 2, 2001. As of
the acquisition date, assets and liabilities were recorded at estimated fair
value in CIT's financial statements. Any resulting premiums or discounts are
being accreted or amortized on a level yield basis over the remaining estimated
lives of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Information relating to all
"predecessor" periods prior to the acquisition is presented using CIT's
historical basis of accounting. CIT operates its businesses independently as an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco (see Note 2).
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements and footnotes include the results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of the international subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco
for all periods presented.
To enhance liquidity, CIT entered into a securitization related to
$3.4 billion of factoring receivables during the March 31, 2002 quarter. CIT
retained a $2.5 billion interest in these receivables, which is presented on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as Interest in Trade Receivables, net.
RESTATEMENT--The Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The restatement to the financial
statements herein reflects an impairment of goodwill in accordance with SFAS
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," resulting in an estimated goodwill
impairment charge of $4.51 billion. This restatement has no impact on previously
reported operating margin or net cash provided by operations for any periods.
See Note 6, "Accounting Change--Goodwill Amortization," for further information
regarding the goodwill impairment.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION BY TYCO
The purchase price paid by Tyco for CIT plus related purchase accounting
adjustments was valued at approximately $9.5 billion and is presented as "Parent
company investment" as of June 1, 2001 in the Consolidated Statements of
Shareholder's Equity. The $9.5 billion value consisted of the following:
F-57
CIT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION BY TYCO (CONTINUED)
the issuance of approximately 133.0 million Tyco common shares valued at
$6,650.5 million on June 1, 2001 in exchange for approximately 73% of the
outstanding CIT common stock (including exchangeable shares of CIT
Exchangeco, Inc.); the payment of $2,486.4 million in cash to The Dai-Ichi
Kangyo Bank, Limited ("DKB") on June 1, 2001 for approximately 27% of the
outstanding CIT common stock; the issuance of stock options for Tyco common
shares valued at $318.6 million in exchange for CIT stock options; and the
payment of $29.2 million in acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco. In
addition, $22.3 million in acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco were paid
by Tyco and have been reflected in CIT's equity as an additional capital
contribution. The purchase of the CIT common stock held by DKB, which was
contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the merger, took place on
June 1, 2001 immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Additionally, Tyco
made cash capital contributions totaling $898.1 million for the period June 2,
2001 through September 30, 2001. There were no further capital contributions
from Tyco subsequent to September 30, 2001, though $200.0 million of the prior
fiscal year contribution was paid by Tyco during the six months ended March 31,
2002.
In connection with the acquisition by Tyco, CIT recorded acquired assets and
liabilities at their estimated fair values. Fair value estimates are subject to
future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are obtained or when
restructuring plans are committed to and finalized. If finalized during the
first year following the acquisition date, such liabilities are recorded as
additional purchase accounting adjustments as provided under GAAP.
During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002, CIT recorded
additions to goodwill of $61.0 million and $348.6 million, respectively.
Goodwill adjustments relate to fair value adjustments to purchased assets and
liabilities, and accruals relating to severance, facilities or other expenses
incurred as a result of the purchase transaction. The current quarter adjustment
primarily related to finalizing severance related liabilities and to the
restructuring of certain international operations, while the prior quarter
adjustment related to finalizing exit and restructuring plans for the sale or
liquidation of certain non-strategic portfolios, including franchise finance,
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle, as well as the finalization of
appraisals and valuation data. Management does not expect further additions to
goodwill, as all exit and restructuring plans were completed and approved by
March 31, 2002.
The following table summarizes purchase accounting liabilities (pre-tax)
related to severance of employees and closing facilities that were recorded
during the six months ended March 31, 2002 in connection with the acquisition by
Tyco. Fair value adjustments and adjustments related to the sale or liquidation
of certain non-strategic portfolios are not included ($ in millions).

of $79.1 million, which also increased goodwill and deferred tax assets. These
accruals were for the elimination of additional employees related to corporate
administrative and other personnel located primarily in North America and
Europe. The 19 facilities are located in North America and Europe.
NOTE 3--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The components of the adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for
derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows at September 30, 2001 and
the balance outstanding at March 31, 2002 are presented in the following table
($ in millions):

Balance at March 31, 2002............................... $ 53.1 $(20.2) $ 32.9
====== ====== ======
The unrealized loss as of March 31, 2002, presented in the preceding table,
primarily reflects our use of interest rate swaps to convert variable-rate debt
to fixed-rate debt, and is due to the fact that interest rates have declined
from the June 1, 2001 Tyco acquisition date, or from the inception date of the
derivative contracts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 approximately
$0.5 million, before taxes, was recorded as additional interest expense for the
ineffective portion of changes in fair values of cash flow hedges. Assuming no
change in interest rates, $13.9 million, net of tax, of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next
twelve months as contractual cash payments are made. The Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss (along with the corresponding swap liability) will be
adjusted as market interest rates change over the remaining life of the swaps.
CIT uses derivatives for hedging purposes only, and does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As part of
managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, CIT, as an end-user,
enters into various interest rate swap transactions in the over-the-counter
markets, with other financial institutions acting as principal counterparties.
To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, all
derivatives entered into are designated according to a hedge objective against a
specified liability, including senior notes, bank credit facilities, and
commercial paper. CIT's primary hedge objectives include the conversion of
variable-rate liabilities to fixed rates, and the conversion of fixed-rate
liabilities to variable rates. The notional amounts, rates, indices and
maturities of CIT's derivatives are required to closely match the related terms
of CIT's hedged liabilities.

CIT also utilizes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge
currency risk underlying its net investments in foreign operations and cross
currency interest rate swaps to hedge both foreign currency and interest rate
risk underlying foreign debt. At March 31, 2002, CIT was party to foreign
currency exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling $3.4 billion
and maturities ranging from 2002 to 2006. CIT was also party to cross currency
interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.4 billion and maturities
ranging from 2002 to 2027.

NOTE 6--ACCOUNTING CHANGE--GOODWILL AMORTIZATION
The Company periodically reviews and evaluates its goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. Effective October 1, 2001, the
beginning of CIT's fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. Under the transition
provisions of SFAS 142, as of October 1, 2001, there was no goodwill impairment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, our parent, Tyco, experienced
disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan, a downgrade
in its credit rating, and a significant decline in its market capitalization.
During this same time period, CIT also experienced credit downgrades and a
disruption to its historical funding base. The Company prepared valuations,
utilizing a discounted cash flows approach updated for current information and
considering various marketplace assumptions, which indicated a range of values
from impairment of $750 million to excess fair value of $1.5 billion. Based on
management's belief that CIT would be separated from Tyco, receive an increase
in its credit ratings, and regain access to the unsecured credit markets, we
initially concluded that CIT had an excess of fair market value over net book
value of approximately $1.5 billion. Accordingly, management did not believe
that there was an impairment of goodwill of CIT as of March 31, 2002.
However, market-based information used in connection with our preliminary
consideration of the potential initial public offering for 100% of CIT indicated
that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2002. As
a result, management performed a step 1 SFAS 142 impairment analysis as of
March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was warranted at that
date.
Accordingly, management's objective in performing the SFAS 142 step 1
analysis was to obtain relevant market based data to calculate the estimated
fair value of each CIT reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 based on each
reporting unit's projected earnings and market factors expected to be used by
market participants in ascribing value to each of these reporting units in the
planned separation of CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data
from our financial advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples
and market condition discounts applicable to each reporting unit as of
March 31, 2002 and applied this market data to the individual reporting unit
projected annual earnings as of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair
value of each reporting unit and any resulting reporting unit goodwill
impairment. The estimated fair values were compared to the corresponding
carrying value of each reporting unit at March 31, 2002. The total of the
individual reporting unit estimated goodwill impairments was $4.5 billion. We
have restated the CIT Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 to reflect an estimated impairment for each reporting unit
resulting in a $4.5 billion estimated impairment charge as of March 31, 2002.
SFAS 142 requires a second step analysis whenever the reporting unit book
value exceeds estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit's individual assets and
liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. We have
not yet completed this analysis due to the recently revised fair values for each
reporting unit. The Company will complete this second step analysis in the
quarter ending June 30, 2002 for each reporting unit to determine if any
adjustment to the estimated goodwill impairment charge previously recorded is
needed.
Subsequent to March 31, 2002, CIT experienced further credit downgrades and
the business environment and other factors continue to negatively impact the
value for the proposed IPO of CIT. As of the date of the preliminary prospectus,
we estimate that the proceeds to Tyco, before underwriting discounts and
commissions, from the sale of 100% of CIT's common stock will be between
$5.0 billion

NOTE 6--ACCOUNTING CHANGE--GOODWILL AMORTIZATION (CONTINUED)
and $5.8 billion. Due to these events, the Company will assess remaining
goodwill of each reporting unit for potential additional impairment based on the
indicators of further decline in value.

March 31, 2002 are as follows ($ in millions):

Other intangible assets, net, comprised primarily of proprietary computer

March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, and are included in Other
Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are being amortized over
a five year period on a straight-line basis, resulting in an annual amortization
of $4.4 million. Amortization of intangible assets of $1.1 million and
$2.2 million is included in the results of operations for the quarter and six
months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.
NOTE 7--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Upon the acquisition, CIT and Tyco entered into an Operating Agreement,
dated as of June 1, 2001, which provided that CIT and Tyco will not engage in
transactions, including finance, underwriting and asset management and servicing
transactions, unless the transactions are at arm's-length and for
F-64

NOTE 7--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
fair value. In particular, Tyco agreed that CIT will have sole discretion and
decision-making authority where CIT is underwriting, managing and servicing
assets in transactions originated through Tyco. CIT and Tyco also agreed to
limit dividends and distributions from CIT to Tyco to (i) fifteen percent (15%)
of CIT's cumulative net income, plus (ii) the net capital contribution by Tyco
to CIT, in each case through the date of such dividend, distribution or
declaration, and that CIT will at all times maintain its books, records and
assets separately from Tyco. The Operating Agreement will terminate if CIT
ceases to be a subsidiary of Tyco.
On February 14, 2002, CIT amended its public debt indentures to prohibit CIT
from:
- declaring or paying any dividend, or making any other payment or
distribution on its capital stock to Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates,
except dividends or distributions payable in common stock of CIT;
- purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring or retiring for value any
capital stock of CIT except in exchange for the common stock of CIT;
- purchasing or selling any material properties or assets from or to, or
consummating any other material transaction with, Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, except on terms that are no less favorable than those that
could be reasonably expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction
with an unrelated third party; and
- making an investment in Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates in the form of
(1) advances, loans or other extensions of credit to Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, (2) capital contributions to or in Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, or (3) acquisitions of any bonds, notes, debentures or other
debt instruments of, or any stock, partnership, membership or other equity
or beneficial interests in, Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates.
These restrictions do not restrict the merger of CIT with and into CIT's
immediate parent corporation, or a merger of CIT's immediate parent corporation
with and into CIT, provided that the surviving corporation of the merger has a
consolidated tangible net worth immediately after the merger that is not less
than the consolidated tangible net worth of CIT immediately prior to the merger.
These provisions will no longer apply if (i) CIT and its subsidiaries are
consolidated or merged into another entity (other than Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates) or substantially all of CIT and its subsidiaries' properties, common
stock or assets are sold, assigned, leased, transferred, conveyed or otherwise
disposed of in one or more transactions or (ii) once Tyco owns less than 50% of
our common stock as long as at least two-thirds of our board of directors is not
affiliated with Tyco.
On September 30, 2001, CIT sold certain international subsidiaries to a
non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco at net book value. As a result of this sale, CIT had
receivables from affiliates totaling $1,440.9 million, representing its debt
investment in these subsidiaries. CIT charged arm's-length, market based
interest rates on these receivables, and recorded $19.0 million of interest
income, as an offset to interest expense, related to those notes for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001. A note receivable issued at the time of this
transaction of approximately $295.0 million was collected. Following Tyco's
announcement on January 22, 2002 that it planned to separate into four
independent, publicly-traded companies, CIT repurchased the international
subsidiaries on February 11, 2002 at net book value. In conjunction with this
repurchase, the receivables from affiliates of $1,588.1 million at December 31,
2001 was satisfied.

NOTE 7--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
CIT has entered into a number of equipment loans and leases with affiliates
of Tyco. Loan and lease terms generally range from 3 to 12 years. Tyco has
guaranteed payment and performance obligations under each loan and lease
agreement. At March 31, 2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these
equipment loans and leases was approximately $84.2 million, and the aggregate
amount outstanding upon delivery of all applicable equipment will be
approximately $129.3 million.
CIT has periodically entered into receivable and portfolio purchase
agreements with affiliates of Tyco, pursuant to which CIT purchases conditional
purchase agreements, servicing contracts and other forms of receivables between
the Tyco affiliate and its customers. Certain of these purchase agreements were
entered into prior to the Tyco affiliate being acquired by Tyco. At March 31,
2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these purchase agreements was
approximately $32.8 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, certain subsidiaries of Tyco
sold receivables totaling $318.0 million to CIT in a factoring transaction for
$297.8 million in cash. The difference of $20.2 million represents a holdback of
$15.9 million and a discount of $4.3 million (fee income which is recognized by
CIT as income over the term of the transaction). During the quarter ended
December 31, 2001, CIT increased the capacity available under the factoring
program with Tyco from $318.0 million to $384.4 million and sold receivables for
$360.0 million in cash. The difference of $24.4 million represents a holdback of
$19.2 million and a discount of $5.2 million (fee income which is recognized by
CIT as income over the term of the transaction). On April 28, 2002, the capacity
of the program was reduced to $337.6 million.
Certain of CIT's operating expenses are paid by Tyco and billed to CIT. As
of March 31, 2001, CIT has outstanding payables to subsidiaries of Tyco totaling
$26.3 million related primarily to these charges.
On May 1, 2002, CIT assumed a corporate aircraft lease obligation from Tyco.
The assumed lease obligation is approximately $16.0 million and extends for
134 months beginning on May 1, 2002. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, CIT had an
agreement to purchase this aircraft directly from the previous owner.

NOTE 9--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 1, 2002, the Company completed a $2.5 billion public unsecured bond
offering as part of the previously announced strategy to strengthen its
liquidity position. This debt offering was comprised of $1.25 billion aggregate
principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due April 2, 2007 and $1.25 billion
aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior notes due April 2, 2012. CIT has
determined that the proceeds will be used to repay a portion of existing term
debt at maturity.
On April 25, 2002, CIT Group Inc. (Del) filed a registration statement on
Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the sale of
100 percent of the Company's common stock through an initial public offering
("IPO"). Tyco will receive the proceeds from the offering. If the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option, CIT will receive the proceeds from that
sale.
On April 30, 2002, Fitch revised the rating watch status on all our ratings
from evolving to negative, due to concerns surrounding the timing of the
separation from Tyco.
On June 7, 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating
from A- to BBB+. Standard & Poor's ratings of CIT's debt remain on watch status
with developing implications.
On June 10, 2002, Fitch downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating from A- to
BBB. All of the Company's Fitch ratings remain on watch status.
On July 1, 2002, Tyco agreed to sell 200 million shares of CIT, representing
100% of the issued and outstanding shares, at an initial public offering price
of $23.00 per share, resulting in estimated proceeds to Tyco of $4.6 billion
before underwriting discounts and commissions. Based on this transaction, the
Company will assess remaining goodwill of each reporting unit for potential
additional impairment.

TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Tyco Capital Holding, Inc., a
Nevada corporation ("TCH"), included herein reflect the consolidated results of
TCH, since its inception on October 13, 2000, plus the results of CIT Group Inc.
("CIT") and its subsidiaries since its acquisition by TCH on June 1, 2001.
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation and is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH, which is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco Capital Ltd., a Bermuda company. All of these entities are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco. Prior to the closing of this offering, Tyco
will effectuate a restructuring whereby CIT will merge with and into TCH, and
that combined entity will further merge with and into CIT Group Inc. (Del), a
Delaware corporation. In connection with the reorganization, CIT Group Inc.
(Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As a result of the reorganization, CIT
Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and will be the successor to CIT's
business, operations, obligations and SEC registration.
In connection with the reorganization and mergers described above, CIT Group
Inc. (Nevada) is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of TCH, as
CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. The Delaware
company has had no operations and nominal financial activity and will be used
solely for the purpose of the reincorporation of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). TCH
was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity has been in connection
with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of CIT by Tyco on
June 1, 2001. TCH has not acted as an operating company and immediately prior to
the reorganization will have nominal assets and liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT. TCH's stand-alone historical financial activity is comprised
of intercompany debt payable to an affiliate of Tyco and interest expense
related to the acquisition of CIT, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco
common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. All of the activity
of TCH will be unwound through a capital contribution from Tyco prior to the
reorganization discussed above and TCH's balance sheet will have nominal
balances. The ongoing operations of the registrant will effectively be comprised
of the existing operations of CIT.
CIT (formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and previously The CIT
Group, Inc.) is a diversified finance company engaging in vendor, equipment,
commercial, consumer and structured financing and leasing activities. CIT
operates primarily in North America, with locations in Europe, Latin America,
Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of TCH and its
subsidiaries and have been prepared in United States dollars, unless indicated
otherwise, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. On June 1, 2001, CIT was acquired by TCH in a purchase business
combination (see Note 2). Tyco International Ltd. and its subsidiaries,
excluding TCH and its subsidiaries, are referred to herein as the "Parent" or
"Tyco." In accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business
combinations, the purchase price paid by Tyco plus related purchase accounting
adjustments have been "pushed down" and recorded in CIT's financial statements
for the periods after June 1, 2001, resulting in a new basis of accounting for
the period beginning June 2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets and
liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value in the CIT financial
statements. Any resulting premiums or discounts are being accreted or amortized
on a level yield basis over the remaining estimated lives of the corresponding
assets or liabilities.
F-86
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements and footnotes include the results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of the international subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco
for all periods presented.
CIT consolidates companies in which it owns or controls more than fifty
percent of the voting shares unless control is likely to be temporary. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
FINANCING AND LEASING ASSETS
CIT provides funding for a variety of financing arrangements, including term
loans, lease financing and operating leases. The amounts outstanding on loans
and leases are referred to as finance receivables and, when combined with
finance receivables held for sale, net book value of operating lease equipment,
and certain investments, represent financing and leasing assets.
At the time of designation for sale, securitization or syndication by
management, assets are classified as finance receivables held for sale. These
assets are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Finance income includes interest on loans, the accretion of income on direct
financing leases, and rents on operating leases. Related origination and other
nonrefundable fees and direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an
adjustment of finance income over the contractual life of the transactions.
Income on finance receivables other than leveraged leases is recognized on an
accrual basis commencing in the month of origination using methods that
generally approximate the interest method. Leveraged lease income is recognized
on a basis calculated to achieve a constant after-tax rate of return for periods
in which CIT has a positive investment in the transaction, net of related
deferred tax liabilities. Rental income on operating leases is recognized on an
accrual basis.
The accrual of finance income on commercial finance receivables is generally
suspended and an account is placed on non-accrual status when payment of
principal or interest is contractually delinquent for 90 days or more, or
earlier when, in the opinion of management, full collection of all principal and
interest due is doubtful. Given the nature of revolving credit facilities,
including those combined with term loan facilities (advances and interest
accruals increase revolving loan balances and payments reduce revolving loan
balances), the placement of revolving credit facilities on non-accrual status
includes the review of other qualitative and quantitative credit-related
factors, and generally does not result in the reversal of significant amounts of
accrued interest. To the extent the estimated fair value of collateral does not
satisfy both the principal and accrued interest outstanding, accrued but
uncollected interest at the date an account is placed on non-accrual status is
reversed and charged against income. Subsequent interest received is applied to
the outstanding principal balance until such time as the account is collected,
charged-off or returned to accrual status. The accrual of finance income on
consumer loans is suspended, and all previously accrued but uncollected income
is reversed, when payment of principal and/or interest on consumer finance
receivables is contractually delinquent for 90 days or more.
F-87
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Other revenue includes the following: (1) factoring commissions,
(2) commitment, facility, letters of credit and syndication fees, (3) servicing
fees and (4) gains and losses from the sales of leasing equipment, venture
capital investments and sales and securitizations of finance receivables.
LEASE FINANCING
Direct financing leases are recorded at the aggregate future minimum lease
payments plus estimated residual values less unearned finance income. Operating
lease equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and is
depreciated to estimated residual value using the straight-line method over the
lease term or projected economic life of the asset. Equipment acquired in
satisfaction of loans and subsequently placed on operating lease is recorded at
the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value when acquired. Lease
receivables include leveraged leases, for which a major portion of the funding
is provided by third party lenders on a nonrecourse basis, with CIT providing
the balance and acquiring title to the property. Leveraged leases are recorded
at the aggregate value of future minimum lease payments plus estimated residual
value, less nonrecourse third party debt and unearned finance income. Management
performs periodic reviews of the estimated residual values with impairment,
other than temporary, recognized in the current period.
RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON FINANCE RECEIVABLES
The consolidated reserve for credit losses is periodically reviewed for
adequacy considering economic conditions, collateral values and credit quality
indicators, including historical and expected charge-off experience and levels
of past due loans and non-performing assets. Changes in economic conditions or
other events affecting specific obligors or industries may necessitate additions
or deductions to the consolidated reserve for credit losses. In management's
judgment the consolidated reserve for credit losses is adequate to provide for
credit losses inherent in the portfolio.
CHARGE-OFF OF FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Finance receivables are reviewed periodically to determine the probability
of loss. Charge-offs are taken after considering such factors as the borrower's
financial condition and the value of underlying collateral and guarantees
(including recourse to dealers and manufacturers). Such charge-offs are deducted
from the carrying value of the related finance receivables. To the extent that
an unrecovered balance remains due, a final charge-off is taken at the time
collection efforts are deemed no longer useful. Charge-offs are recorded on
consumer and certain small ticket commercial finance receivables beginning at
180 days of contractual delinquency based upon historical loss severity.
Collections on accounts previously charged off are recorded as increases to the
reserve for credit losses.
IMPAIRED LOANS
Impaired loans include any loan transaction, outside of homogeneous pools of
loans, that is placed on non-accrual status or any troubled debt restructuring.
Such loans are subject to periodic individual review by CIT's Asset Quality
Review Committee ("AQR"). The AQR, which is comprised of members of senior
management, reviews overall portfolio performance, as well as individual
accounts meeting certain credit risk grading parameters. Excluded from impaired
loans are: 1) certain individual small-dollar, commercial non-accrual loans for
which the collateral value supports the outstanding balance and the continuation
of earning status, 2) consumer loans, which are subject to automatic charge-off
F-88
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
procedures, and 3) short-term factoring customer receivables, generally having
terms of no more than 30 days. Loan impairment is defined as any shortfall
between the estimated value and the recorded investment in the loan, with the
estimated value determined using the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
A review for impairment of long-lived assets, such as operating lease
equipment, is performed at least annually and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.
GOODWILL AND OTHER IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLES
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of identifiable assets acquired, less the estimated fair value of
liabilities assumed from business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible
assets are amortized from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis over
estimated lives ranging from 5 to 40 years. CIT implemented Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," on October 1, 2001. See "ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS" in Note 1 for more
information on SFAS No. 142.
SECURITIZATIONS
Pools of assets are originated and sold to independent trusts which, in
turn, issue securities to investors backed by the asset pools. CIT retains the
servicing rights and participates in certain cash flows from the pools. The
present value of expected net cash flows (after payment of principal and
interest to certificate and/or note holders and credit-related disbursements)
that exceeds the estimated cost of servicing is recorded at the time of sale as
a "retained interest." Retained interests in securitized assets are included in
other assets and classified as available-for-sale securities under SFAS 115.
CIT, in its estimation of those net cash flows and retained interests,
inherently employs a variety of financial assumptions, including loan pool
credit losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates. These assumptions are
supported by both CIT's historical experience, market trends and anticipated
performance relative to the particular assets securitized. Subsequent to the
recording of retained interests, CIT reviews such values quarterly. Fair values
of retained interests are calculated utilizing current and anticipated credit
losses, prepayment speeds and discount rates and are then compared to the
respective carrying values. Losses, representing the excess of carrying value
over estimated current fair value, are recorded as an impairment charge
($13.8 million for the period from inception through September 30, 2001).
Unrealized gains are not credited to current earnings but are reflected in
shareholder's equity as part of other comprehensive income.
During September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities--a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125."
SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and
F-89
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
March 31, 2001. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on
the accounting for, or the structure of, CIT's securitization transactions.
OTHER ASSETS
Assets received in satisfaction of loans are carried at the lower of
carrying value or estimated fair value less selling costs, with write-downs at
the time of receipt recognized by recording a charge-off. Subsequent write-downs
of such assets, which may be required due to a decline in estimated fair market
value after receipt, are reflected in general operating expenses.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on marketable equity securities
included in CIT's venture capital investment companies are included directly in
operations. Unrealized gains and losses, representing the difference between
carrying value and estimated current fair market value, for all other debt and
marketable equity securities are recorded in other comprehensive income, a
separate component of equity.
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method,
whereby the investment balance is carried at cost and adjusted for the
proportionate share of undistributed earnings or losses. Unrealized intercompany
profits and losses are eliminated until realized, as if the joint venture were
consolidated.
Investments in debt and equity securities of non-public companies are
carried at cost. These valuations are periodically reviewed and a write-down is
recorded if a decline in value is considered other than temporary. Gains and
losses are recognized upon sale or write-down of these investments as a
component of other revenues.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CIT uses interest rate, currency swaps and foreign exchange forward
contracts as part of a worldwide market risk management program to hedge against
the effects of future interest rate and currency fluctuations. CIT does not
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
In accordance with SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," derivative instruments are recognized in the balance sheet
at their fair values, and changes in fair values are recognized immediately in
earnings unless the derivatives qualify as hedges of future cash flows. For
derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of
changes in fair value is recorded temporarily in accumulated other comprehensive
income as a separate component of equity, and contractual cash flows, along with
the related impact of the hedged items, continue to be recognized in earnings.
Any ineffective portion of a hedge is reported in current earnings. Amounts
accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings in the
same period that the hedged transaction impacts earnings.
The net interest differential, including premiums paid or received, if any,
on interest rate swaps, is recognized on an accrual basis as an adjustment to
finance income or as interest expense to correspond with the hedged position. In
the event that early termination of a derivative instrument occurs, the gain or
loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged
transaction is recognized in earnings.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
CIT utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to
convert U.S. dollar borrowings into local currency in such instances that local
borrowings are not cost effective or available. CIT also utilizes foreign
exchange forward contracts to hedge its net investments in foreign operations.
These instruments are designated as hedges and resulting gains and losses are
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of
equity.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Certain employees have been granted stock options for Tyco common shares.
Stock option awards are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). In
accordance with APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options
issued. Compensation expense associated with restricted stock awards is
recognized over the associated vesting periods.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
CIT has operations in Canada, Europe and other countries outside the United
States. The functional currency for these foreign operations is the local
currency. The value of the assets and liabilities of these operations is
translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance
sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange
rates effective during the year. The resulting foreign currency translation
gains and losses, as well as offsetting gains and losses on hedges of net
investments in foreign operations, are reflected in accumulated other
comprehensive (loss) income.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based
on the differences between the book values and the tax basis of particular
assets and liabilities, using tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset
any net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more
likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and interest-bearing deposits, which
generally represent overnight money market investments of excess cash borrowed
in the commercial paper market and maintained for liquidity purposes. Cash
inflows and outflows from commercial paper borrowings and most factoring
receivables are presented on a net basis in the Statements of Cash Flows, as
their original term is generally less than 90 days.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains on securitization
retained interests, foreign currency translation adjustments pertaining to both
the net investment in foreign operations and the related derivatives designated
as hedges of such investments and commencing January 1, 2001, the changes in
fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedges of future cash flows.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS
No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method. In addition, companies are required to
review goodwill and intangible assets reported in connection with prior
acquisitions, possibly disaggregate and report separately previously identified
intangible assets and possibly reclassify certain intangible assets into
goodwill. SFAS No. 142 establishes new guidelines for accounting for goodwill
and other intangible assets. CIT implemented the provisions of SFAS No. 142 on
October 1, 2001. Since adoption, existing goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. CIT is currently
determining the impact of adopting this standard under the transition provisions
of SFAS No. 142. Goodwill amortization expense for the period from inception
through September 30, 2001 was $59.8 million.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. CIT is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. The provisions of this statement provide a single accounting
model for impairment of long-lived assets. CIT is currently assessing the impact
of this new standard.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF CIT GROUP INC.
The purchase price paid by TCH on behalf of Tyco for CIT plus related
purchase accounting adjustments was valued at approximately $9.5 billion and
consisted of the following: the issuance of approximately 133.0 million Tyco
common shares valued at $6,650.5 million on June 1, 2001 in exchange for
approximately 73% of the outstanding CIT common stock (including exchangeable
shares of CIT Exchangeco, Inc.); the payment of $2,486.4 million in cash to
Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited ("DKB") on June 1, 2001 for approximately 27% of
the outstanding CIT common stock; options for Tyco common shares valued at
$318.6 million issued in exchange for CIT stock options; and $29.2 million in
acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco. In addition, $22.3 million in
acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco were paid and have been reflected in
CIT's equity as an additional capital contribution. The purchase of the CIT
common stock held by DKB, which was contingent upon the satisfication of the
conditions of the merger, took place immediately prior to the closing of the
merger on June 1, 2001.

NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF CIT GROUP INC. (CONTINUED)
CIT recorded acquired assets and liabilities at their estimated fair value.
Approximately, $4.7 billion of goodwill and other intangible assets were
recorded, which represents the excess of the transaction purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired and purchase accounting liabilities
established which result in additional liabilities. Fair value estimates are
subject to future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are
obtained or when restructuring plans are committed to or finalized. Such
liabilities would be recorded as additional purchase accounting adjustments.
In conjunction with the Tyco acquisition, work force reduction and exit
plans were formulated. As of September 30, 2001, 671 employees have been
terminated, or have been identified for and notified of early termination. In
all cases, the benefit arrangements have been announced to these employees.

NOTE 7--INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES
Investments in equity securities designated as available for sale totaled
$972.6 million at September 30, 2001 and are included in other assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Included in CIT's investments in equity securities are retained interests in
commercial securitized assets of $843.6 million and consumer securitized assets
of $126.5 million at September 30, 2001. Retained interests include
interest-only strips, retained subordinated securities, and cash reserve
accounts related to securitizations. The carrying value of the retained
interests in securitized assets is reviewed quarterly for valuation impairment.
The securitization programs cover a wide range of products and collateral
types with significantly different prepayment and credit risk characteristics.
The prepayment speed, in the tables below, is based on Constant Prepayment Rate
("CPR") which expresses payments as a function of the declining amount of loans
at a compound annual rate. Expected credit losses are based upon annual loss
rates.
The key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests at the
date of securitization for transactions completed during 2001 were as follows:
COMMERCIAL
EQUIPMENT
-------------------
Prepayment speed............................................ 6.98%--56.74%
Expected credit losses...................................... 0.00%-- 6.14%

were as follows:

COMMERCIAL HOUSING & HOME RECREATIONAL
EQUIPMENT EQUITY VEHICLE & BOAT
------------------- --------------------- ---------------------
Prepayment speed.................. 6.00%--59.38% 15.60%--25.40% 21.50%--21.50%

Weighted average life (in
years).......................... 0.22 -- 1.98 1.88 -- 3.79 0.16 -- 2.76
The impact of 10 percent and 20 percent adverse changes to the key economic
assumptions on the fair value of retained interests as of September 30, 2001 is
shown in the following tables ($ in millions).
CONSUMER

Prepayment speed:

Expected credit losses:

20 percent adverse change................. (50.0) (0.4) (4.5)
Weighted average discount rate:
10 percent adverse change................. (13.4) (0.8) (2.5)
20 percent adverse change................. (26.5) (1.5) (4.8)
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution.
Changes in fair value based on a 10 percent variation in assumptions generally
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumptions to
the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a
variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest
is calculated without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one
factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market
interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses),
which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
Static pool credit losses represent the sum of actual losses (life to date)
and projected future credit losses, divided by the original balance of each pool
of the respective assets. Actual and projected losses at September 30, 2001 for
commercial equipment securitizations were 1.92%, which is a weighted average for
the commercial equipment securitizations during the period.

NOTE 9--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As part of managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, CIT,
as an end-user, enters into various interest rate swap transactions, all of
which are transacted in over-the-counter markets, with other financial
institutions acting as principal counterparties. CIT uses derivatives for
hedging purposes only, and does not enter into derivative financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes. To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge
and hedge accounting treatment, derivatives entered into are designated
according to a hedge objective against a specific liability, including
commercial paper, or a specifically underwritten debt issue. The notional
amounts, rates, indices and maturities of CIT's derivatives are required to
closely match the related terms of CIT's hedged liabilities. CIT exchanges
variable-rate interest on certain debt instruments for fixed-rate amounts. These
interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. CIT also exchanges
fixed-rate interest on certain of its debt for variable-rate. These interest
rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges.
CIT uses foreign exchange forward contracts or cross-currency swaps to
convert U.S. dollar borrowings into local currency to the extent that local
borrowings are not cost effective or available. CIT also uses foreign exchange
forward contracts to hedge its net investment in foreign operations.
The following table presents the notional principal amounts of interest rate
swaps by class and the corresponding hedged liability position at September 30,

Assuming no change in interest rates, $13.5 million is expected to be
reclassified to earnings in fiscal 2002 as contractual cash payments are made.
For the period from inception through September 30, 2001, the ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges amounted to
$3.9 million and has been recorded as a reduction to interest expense.
CIT had cross-currency swaps with a notional principal amount of
$1.7 billion at September 30, 2001. The swaps hedge foreign currency and
interest rate risk and have maturities ranging from fiscal 2002 to 2024 that
correspond with the terms of the hedged debt. CIT had foreign currency exchange
forward contracts with a notional principal amount of $3.3 billion at
September 30, 2001, with maturities ranging from fiscal 2002 to 2006, to hedge
foreign currencies.
CIT is exposed to credit risk to the extent that the counterparty fails to
perform under the terms of a derivative instrument. This risk is measured as the
market value of interest rate swaps or foreign exchange forwards with a positive
fair value, which totaled $307.5 million at September 30, 2001, reduced by the
effects of master netting agreements as presented in Note 20--"Fair Values of
Financial Instruments." CIT manages this credit risk by requiring that all
derivative transactions be conducted with counterparties rated investment grade
by nationally recognized rating agencies, with the majority of the
counterparties rated "AA" or higher, and by setting limits on the exposure with
any individual counterparty. Accordingly, counterparty credit risk at
September 30, 2001 is not considered significant.

NOTE 10--PREFERRED CAPITAL SECURITIES
In February 1997, CIT Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CIT, issued in a private offering $250.0 million liquidation value
of 7.70% Preferred Capital Securities (the "Capital Securities"), which were
subsequently registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
an exchange offer. Each capital security was recorded at the liquidation value
of $1,000. The Trust subsequently invested the offering proceeds in
$250.0 million principal amount Junior Subordinated Debentures (the
"Debentures") of CIT, having identical rates and payment dates. The Debentures
of CIT represent the sole assets of the Trust. Holders of the Capital Securities
are entitled to receive cumulative distributions at an annual rate of 7.70%
through either the redemption date or maturity of the Debentures (February 15,
2027). Both the Capital Securities issued by the Trust and the Debentures of CIT
owned by the Trust are redeemable in whole or in part on or after February 15,
2007 or at any time in whole upon changes in specific tax legislation, bank
regulatory guidelines or securities law at the option of CIT at their
liquidation value or principal amount. The securities are redeemable at a
specified premium through February 15, 2007, at which time the redemption price
will be at par, plus accrued interest. Distributions by the Trust are guaranteed
by CIT to the extent that the Trust has funds available for distribution. CIT
records distributions payable on the Capital Securities as an operating expense
in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Capital Securities were valued at
$260.0 million on June 1, 2001, the date of acquisition by Parent.

RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT MEDICAL AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT PLANS
Certain employees of CIT who have completed one year of service and are
21 years of age or older participate in The CIT Group, Inc. Retirement Plan (the
"Plan"). The retirement benefits under the Plan are based on the employee's age,
years of benefit service, and a percentage of qualifying compensation. Plan
assets consist of marketable securities, including common stock and government
and corporate debt securities. CIT funds the Plan to the extent it qualifies for
an income tax deduction. Such funding is charged to salaries and employee
benefits expense.
CIT also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to
eligible retired employees. Salaried participants generally become eligible for
retiree health care benefits after reaching age 55 with 10 years of benefit
service and 11 years of medical plan participation. Generally, the medical plans
pay a stated percentage of most medical expenses reduced by a deductible as well
as by payments made by government programs and other group coverage. The plans
are funded on a pay as you go basis.

NOTE 16--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal proceedings
pending against CIT. Management believes that the aggregate liabilities, if any,
arising from such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of CIT.
NOTE 17--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of meeting the financing needs of its customers, CIT
enters into various credit-related commitments. These financial instruments
generate fees and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess
of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. To minimize
potential credit risk, CIT generally requires collateral and other
credit-related terms and conditions from the customer. At the time
credit-related commitments are granted, the fair value of the underlying
collateral and guarantees typically approximates or exceeds the contractual
amount of the commitment. In the event a customer defaults on the underlying
transaction, the maximum potential loss will generally be limited to the
contractual amount outstanding less the value of all underlying collateral and
guarantees.
The accompanying table summarizes the contractual amounts of credit-related
commitments ($ in millions).

the flexibility to delay or terminate certain positions. Deliveries of these new
aircraft are scheduled to take place over a five-year period, which started in
the fourth quarter of calendar year 2000 and runs through 2005. As of
September 30, 2001, nine aircraft have been delivered. Outstanding commitments
to purchase aircraft, rail and other equipment to be placed on operating lease
totaled approximately $5.3 billion at September 30, 2001. A total of
$901.2 million relates to fiscal 2002, of which $840.2 million have agreements
in place to lease to third parties.
NOTE 18--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of CIT's financial instruments,
excluding leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS 13. The fair value
estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument, assuming adequate
market liquidity. Because no established trading market exists for a significant
portion of CIT's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on
judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect
the estimated fair values. Because of these limitations, management provides no
assurance that the estimated fair values presented would necessarily be realized
upon disposition or sale.
Actual fair values in the marketplace are affected by other significant
factors, such as supply and demand, investment trends and the motivations of
buyers and sellers, which are not considered in the methodology used to
determine the estimated fair values presented. In addition, fair value estimates
are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of future business transactions and the value of assets and liabilities
that are part of CIT's overall value but are not considered financial
instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments include customer base, operating lease equipment, premises
and equipment, assets received in satisfaction of loans, and deferred tax
balances. In addition, tax effects relating to the unrealized gains and losses
(differences in estimated fair values and carrying values) have not been
considered in these estimates and can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair
value because they have short maturities and do not present significant credit
risks. Credit-related commitments, as disclosed in Note 17--"Commitments and
Contingencies", are primarily short-term floating-rate contracts whose terms and
conditions are individually negotiated, taking into account the creditworthiness
of the customer and the nature, accessibility and quality of the collateral and
guarantees. Therefore, the fair value of credit-related commitments, if
exercised, would approximate their contractual amounts.

(1) The fair value of performing fixed-rate loans was estimated based upon a
present value discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates that were
being offered at the end of the year for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. Discount rates used in the present
value calculation range from 7.26% to 8.57%. The maturities used represent
the average contractual maturities adjusted for prepayments. For
floating-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change
in credit quality, fair value approximates carrying value. The net carrying
value of lease finance receivables not subject to fair value disclosure
totaled $8.2 billion.
(2) Other assets subject to fair value disclosure include accrued interest
receivable, retained interests in securitizations and investment
securities. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates
fair value. Investment securities actively traded in a secondary market were
valued using quoted available market prices. Investments not actively traded
in a secondary market were valued based upon recent selling price or present
value discounted cash flow analysis. The carrying value of other assets not
subject to fair value disclosure totaled $1,795.9 million at September 30,
2001.
(3) The estimated fair value of commercial paper approximates carrying value
due to the relatively short maturities.
(4) The carrying value of fixed-rate senior notes and subordinated fixed-rate
notes includes $257.5 million of accrued interest at September 30, 2001.
The variable-rate senior notes include $58.3 million of accrued interest at
September 30, 2001. These amounts are excluded from the other liabilities
balances in this table. Fixed-rate notes were valued using a present value
discounted cash flow analysis with a discount rate approximating current
market rates for issuances by CIT of similar term debt at the end of the
year. Discount rates used in the present value calculation ranged from 2.59%
to 5.89%.

(5) The estimated fair value of credit balances of factoring clients
approximates carrying value due to their short settlement terms. Other
liabilities include accrued liabilities and deferred federal income taxes.
Accrued liabilities and payables with no stated maturities have an estimated
fair value that approximates carrying value. The carrying value of other
liabilities not subject to fair value disclosure totaled $169.2 million.
(6) Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities of
subsidiary trust holding solely debentures of the Company were valued using
a present value discounted cash flow analysis with a discount rate
approximating current market rates of similar issuances at the end of the
year.
(7) CIT enters into derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes only.
The estimated fair values are obtained from dealer quotes and represent the
net amount receivable or payable to terminate the agreement, taking into
account current market interest rates and counter-party credit risk. See
Note 10--"Derivative Financial Instruments" for notional principal amounts
associated with the instruments.
NOTE 19--CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
CIT and Tyco have agreed that CIT and Tyco will not engage in transactions,
including finance, underwriting and asset management and servicing transactions,
unless the transactions are at arm's-length and for fair value. In particular,
they have agreed that CIT will have sole discretion and decision-making
authority where CIT is underwriting, managing and servicing assets in
transactions originated through Tyco. CIT and Tyco have also agreed on a
limitation of dividends and distributions from CIT to Tyco, calculated generally
based on the net income of CIT, and that CIT will at all times maintain its
books, records and assets separately from Tyco.
On September 26, 2001, certain subsidiaries of Tyco sold receivables
totaling $318.0 million to CIT in a factoring transaction for $297.8 million in
cash. The difference of $20.2 million represents a holdback of $15.9 million and
a discount of $4.3 million (fee income which will be recognized by CIT as income
over the term of the transaction).
Certain of CIT's operating expenses, such as third-party consulting and
legal fees, are paid by Tyco and then subsequently billed to CIT. As of
September 30, 2001, CIT has an outstanding payable to subsidiaries of Tyco of
$7.6 million related primarily to these charges. Tyco made cash capital
contributions to TCH aggregating $857.0 million during the period from inception
through September 30, 2001.
TCH's historical financial activity is comprised of intercompany debt
activity with Tyco, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco common shares
on redemption of CIT Exchangeco shares. As of September 30, 2001, TCH had
outstanding $5.0 billion of debt payable to affiliates of Tyco under a master
loan agreement with interest rates ranging from 5.63% to 6.25%, maturing over a
range of 5 to 20 years. The weighted average interest rate at September 30, 2001
was 6.02%. Interest expense for the period ended September 30, 2001 was
$100.9 million. TCH also had receivables from affiliates of Tyco totaling
$362.7 million with interest rates of 5.07% at September 30, 2001. In addition,
TCH had an investment of $161.7 million in its balance sheet as of
September 30, 2001, related to the common shares to be used to fulfill the
redemption of CIT Exchangeco shares.

NOTE 20--BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT'S POLICY IN IDENTIFYING REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
CIT's reportable segments are comprised of strategic business units
aggregated into segments based upon the commonality of their products,
customers, distribution methods, operations and servicing, and the nature of
their regulatory environment.
TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
CIT has four reportable segments: Equipment Financing and Leasing, Specialty
Finance, Commercial Finance and Structured Finance. Equipment Financing and
Leasing, Specialty Finance and Structured Finance offer secured lending and
leasing products to midsize and larger companies across a variety of industries,
including aerospace, construction, rail, machine tool, business aircraft,
technology, manufacturing and transportation. The Commercial Finance segment
offers secured lending and receivables collection as well as other financial
products to small and midsize companies. These include secured revolving lines
of credit and term loans, credit protection, accounts receivable collection,
import and export financing and factoring, debtor-in-possession and turnaround
financing. The Specialty Finance segment also offers home equity products to
consumers primarily through a network of brokers and correspondents. The
Specialty Finance segment resulted from the combination of the former Vendor
Technology Finance and Consumer segments in fiscal 2001, consistent with how
activities are reported internally to management. CIT has reclassified
comparative prior period information to reflect this change. Also in fiscal
2001, CIT transferred financing and leasing assets from Equipment Financing to
Specialty Finance. Prior year segment balances have not been restated to conform
to the current year asset transfers as it is impractical to do so.
SEGMENT PROFIT AND ASSETS
Because CIT generates a majority of its revenue from interest, fees and
asset sales, management relies primarily on operating revenues to assess the
performance of the segment. CIT also evaluates segment performance based on
profit after income taxes, as well as asset growth, credit risk management and
other factors.
The following table presents reportable segment information and the
reconciliation of segment balances to the consolidated financial statement
totals and the consolidated managed assets total at or for the period from
inception through September 30, 2001. Goodwill amortization is allocated to
Corporate and Other ($ in millions).

NOTE 21--ACCOUNTING CHANGE--GOODWILL AMORTIZATION
Effective October 1, 2001, the beginning of CIT's fiscal year 2002, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," under
which goodwill is no longer amortized but instead will be assessed for
impairment annually, or when circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Under
the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, as of October 1, 2001, there was no
goodwill impairment.

TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of Tyco Capital Holding, Inc., a
Nevada corporation ("TCH") included herein reflect the consolidated results of
TCH, since its inception on October 13, 2000, plus the results of CIT Group Inc.
("CIT") and its subsidiaries since its acquisition by TCH on June 1, 2001.
CIT is presently organized as a Nevada corporation and is a direct,
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH, which is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
Tyco Capital Ltd., a Bermuda company. All of these entities are indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tyco. Prior to the closing of this offering, Tyco
will effectuate a restructuring whereby CIT will merge with and into TCH, and
that combined entity will further merge with and into CIT Group Inc. (Del), a
Delaware corporation. In connection with the reorganization, CIT Group Inc.
(Del) will be renamed CIT Group Inc. As a result of the reorganization, CIT
Group Inc. will be domiciled in Delaware and will be the successor to CIT's
business, operations, obligations and SEC registration.
In connection with the reorganization and mergers described above, CIT Group
Inc. (Nevada) is reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements of TCH, as
CIT Group Inc. (Nevada) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCH. The Delaware
company has had no operations and nominal financial activity and will be used
solely for the purpose of the reincorporation of CIT Group Inc. (Nevada). TCH
was incorporated in October 2000 and its only activity has been in connection
with its capacity as the holding company for the acquisition of CIT by Tyco on
June 1, 2001. TCH has not acted as an operating company and immediately prior to
the reorganization will have nominal assets and liabilities, other than its
investment in CIT. TCH's stand-alone historical financial activity is comprised
of intercompany debt payable to an affiliate of Tyco and interest expense
related to the acquisition of CIT, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco
common shares on redemption of CIT Exchangeco Inc. shares. All of the activity
of TCH will be unwound through a capital contribution from Tyco prior to the
reorganization discussed above and TCH's balance sheet will have nominal
balances. The ongoing operations of the registrant will effectively be comprised
of the existing operations of CIT.
TCH had nominal financial activity since its inception in October 2001
through March 31, 2001. As such, no consolidated statements of income or cash
flows are presented for periods ended March 31, 2001.
CIT, formerly known as Tyco Capital Corporation and previously The CIT
Group, Inc., is a diversified finance company engaging in vendor, equipment,
commercial, consumer and structured financing and leasing activities.
These financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the information and note
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the
United States and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of TCH as of September 30, 2001 included elsewhere in this
prospectus. These financial statements have not been examined by independent
accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the
opinion of management include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of TCH's financial
position and results of operations. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
On June 1, 2001, CIT was acquired by TCH in a purchase business combination.
Tyco International Ltd. and its subsidiaries, excluding TCH and its
subsidiaries, are referred to herein as the "Parent" or "Tyco." In accordance
with the guidelines for accounting for business combinations, the
F-123
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
purchase price paid by Tyco plus related purchase accounting adjustments, were
"pushed down" and recorded in CIT's financial statements for the periods after
June 1, 2001, resulting in a new basis of accounting for the "successor" period
beginning June 2, 2001. As of the acquisition date, assets and liabilities were
recorded at estimated fair value in CIT's financial statements. Any resulting
premiums or discounts are being accreted or amortized on a level yield basis
over the remaining estimated lives of the corresponding assets or liabilities.
On February 11, 2002, CIT repurchased certain international subsidiaries
that had previously been sold to an affiliate of Tyco on September 30, 2001. The
reacquisition of these subsidiaries has been accounted for as a merger of
entities under common control. Accordingly, the balances contained within the
financial statements, footnotes and throughout this document include the results
of operations, financial position and cash flows of the international
subsidiaries repurchased from Tyco for all periods presented.
To enhance liquidity, CIT entered into a securitization relating to $3.4
billion of factoring receivables during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. CIT
retained a $2.5 billion interest in these receivables, which is presented on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as Interest in Trade Receivables, net.
RESTATEMENT--The Company has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The restatement to the financial
statements herein reflects an impairment of goodwill in accordance with
SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," resulting in an estimated goodwill
impairment charge of $4.51 billion. This restatement has no impact on previously
reported operating margin or net cash provided by operations for any periods.
See Note 6, "Accounting Change--Goodwill Amortization," for further information
regarding the goodwill impairment.
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF CIT GROUP INC.
The purchase price paid by TCH on behalf of Tyco for CIT plus related
purchase accounting adjustments was valued at approximately $9.5 billion and
consisted of the following: the issuance of approximately 133.0 million Tyco
common shares valued at $6,650.5 million on June 1, 2001 in exchange for
approximately 73% of the outstanding CIT common stock (including exchangeable
shares of CIT Exchangeco, Inc.); the payment of $2,486.4 million in cash to The
Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Limited ("DKB") on June 1, 2001 for approximately 27% of
the outstanding CIT common stock; the issuance of stock options for Tyco common
shares valued at $318.6 million in exchange for CIT stock options; and the
payment of $29.2 million in acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco. In
addition, $22.3 million in acquisition-related costs incurred by Tyco were paid
by Tyco and have been reflected in CIT's equity as an additional capital
contribution. The purchase of the CIT common stock held by DKB, which was
contingent upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the merger, took place on
June 1, 2001 immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Additionally, Tyco
made cash capital contributions totaling $604.9 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2002.
In connection with the acquisition by Tyco, CIT recorded acquired assets and
liabilities at their estimated fair values. Fair value estimates are subject to
future adjustment when appraisals or other valuation data are obtained or when
restructuring plans are committed to and finalized. If finalized during the
first year following the acquisition date, such liabilities are recorded as
additional purchase accounting adjustments as provided under GAAP.
During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2002, CIT recorded
additions to goodwill of $61.0 million and $348.6 million, respectively.
Goodwill adjustments relate to fair value adjustments to purchased assets and
liabilities, and accruals relating to severance, facilities or other expenses
incurred
F-124
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF CIT GROUP INC. (CONTINUED)
as a result of the purchase transaction. The current quarter adjustment
primarily related to finalizing severance related liabilities and to the
restructuring of certain international operations, while the prior quarter
adjustment related to finalizing exit and restructuring plans for the sale or
liquidation of certain non-strategic portfolios, including franchise finance,
manufactured housing and recreational vehicle, as well as the finalization of
appraisals and valuation data. Management does not expect further additions to
goodwill, as all exit and restructuring plans were completed and approved by
March 31, 2002.
The following table summarizes purchase accounting liabilities (pre-tax)
related to severance of employees and closing facilities that were recorded
during the six months ended March 31, 2002 in connection with the acquisition by
Tyco. Fair value adjustments and adjustments related to the sale or liquidation
of certain non-strategic portfolios are not included ($ in millions).

The accruals of $79.1 million recorded during the six months ended
March 31, 2002 related to finalizing the Tyco integration plan. These accruals
resulted in additional purchase accounting liabilities of $79.1 million, which
also increased goodwill and deferred tax assets. These accruals were for the
elimination of additional employees related to corporate administrative and
other personnel located primarily in North America and Europe. The 19 facilities
are located in North America and Europe.
NOTE 3--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The components of the adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss for
derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows at September 30, 2001 and
the balance outstanding at March 31, 2002 are presented in the following table
($ in millions):

Balance at March 31, 2002............................... $ 53.1 $(20.2) $ 32.9
====== ====== ======
The unrealized loss as of March 31, 2002, presented in the preceding table,
primarily reflects our use of interest rate swaps to convert variable-rate debt
to fixed-rate debt, and is due to the fact that interest rates have declined
from the June 1, 2001 Tyco acquisition date, or from the inception date of the
derivative contracts. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 approximately
$0.5 million, before taxes, was recorded as additional interest expense for the
ineffective portion of changes in fair values of cash flow hedges. Assuming no
change in interest rates, $13.9 million, net of tax, of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss is expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next
twelve months as contractual cash payments are made. The Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss (along with the corresponding swap liability) will be
adjusted as market interest rates change over the remaining life of the swaps.
F-125
TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3--DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
CIT uses derivatives for hedging purposes only, and does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As part of
managing the exposure to changes in market interest rates, CIT, as an end-user,
enters into various interest rate swap transactions in the over-the-counter
markets, with other financial institutions acting as principal counterparties.
To ensure both appropriate use as a hedge and hedge accounting treatment, all
derivatives entered into are designated according to a hedge objective against a
specified liability, including senior notes, bank credit facilities, and
commercial paper. CIT's primary hedge objectives include the conversion of
variable-rate liabilities to fixed rates, and the conversion of fixed-rate
liabilities to variable rates. The notional amounts, rates, indices and
maturities of CIT's derivatives are required to closely match the related terms
of CIT's hedged liabilities.
The following table presents the notional principal amounts of interest rate
swaps by class and the corresponding hedge objectives at March 31, 2002:
INTEREST RATE SWAPS NOTIONAL AMOUNT DESCRIPTION
------------------- --------------- ------------------------------------------
($ IN MILLIONS)
Floating to fixed-rate swaps (cash flow
hedges)................................. $3,322.2 Effectively converts the interest rate on
an equivalent amount of variable-rate
borrowings to a fixed rate.
Fixed to floating-rate swaps (fair value
hedges)................................. 783.8 Effectively converts the interest rate on
an equivalent amount of fixed-rate senior
notes to a variable rate.
Total interest rate swaps................. $4,106.0
========
CIT also utilizes foreign currency exchange forward contracts to hedge
currency risk underlying its net investments in foreign operations and cross
currency interest rate swaps to hedge both foreign currency and interest rate
risk underlying foreign debt. At March 31, 2002, CIT was party to foreign
currency exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling $3.4 billion
and maturities ranging from 2002 to 2006. CIT was also party to cross currency
interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $2.4 billion and maturities
ranging from 2002 to 2027.

TYCO CAPITAL HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
NOTE 6--ACCOUNTING CHANGE--GOODWILL AMORTIZATION
The Company periodically reviews and evaluates its goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. Effective October 1, 2001, the
beginning of CIT's fiscal year 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," under which goodwill is no longer amortized but
instead will be assessed for impairment at least annually. Under the transition
provisions of SFAS 142, as of October 1, 2001, there was no goodwill impairment.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, our parent, Tyco, experienced
disruptions to its business surrounding its announced break-up plan, a downgrade
in its credit rating, and a significant decline in its market capitalization.
During this same time period, CIT also experienced credit downgrades and a
disruption to its historical funding base. The Company prepared valuations,
utilizing a discounted cash flows approach updated for current information and
considering various marketplace assumptions, which indicated a range of values
from impairment of $750 million to excess fair value of $1.5 billion. Based on
management's belief that CIT would be separated from Tyco, receive an increase
in its credit ratings, and regain access to the unsecured credit markets, we
initially concluded that CIT had an excess of fair market value over net book
value of approximately $1.5 billion. Accordingly, management did not believe
that there was an impairment of goodwill of CIT as of March 31, 2002.
However, market-based information used in connection with our preliminary
consideration of the potential initial public offering for 100% of CIT indicated
that CIT's book value exceeded its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2002. As
a result, management performed a step 1 SFAS 142 impairment analysis as of
March 31, 2002 and concluded that an impairment charge was warranted at that
date.
Accordingly, management's objective in performing the SFAS 142 step 1
analysis was to obtain relevant market based data to calculate the estimated
fair value of each CIT reporting unit as of March 31, 2002 based on each
reporting unit's projected earnings and market factors expected to be used by
market participants in ascribing value to each of these reporting units in the
planned separation of CIT from Tyco. Management obtained relevant market data
from our financial advisors regarding the range of price to earnings multiples
and market condition discounts applicable to each reporting unit as of
March 31, 2002 and applied this market data to the individual reporting unit
projected annual earnings as of March 31, 2002 to calculate an estimated fair
value of each reporting unit and any resulting reporting unit goodwill
impairment. The estimated fair values were compared to the corresponding
carrying value of each reporting unit at March 31, 2002. The total of the
individual reporting unit estimated goodwill impairments was $4.5 billion. We
have restated the CIT Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended
March 31, 2002 to reflect an estimated impairment for each reporting unit
resulting in a $4.5 billion estimated impairment charge as of March 31, 2002.
SFAS 142 requires a second step analysis whenever the reporting unit book
value exceeds estimated fair value. This analysis requires the Company to
estimate the fair value of each reporting unit's individual assets and
liabilities to complete the analysis of goodwill as of March 31, 2002. We have
not yet completed this analysis due to the recently revised fair values for each
reporting unit. The Company will complete this second step analysis in the
quarter ending June 30, 2002 for each reporting unit to determine if any
adjustment to the estimated goodwill impairment charge previously recorded is
needed.
Subsequent to March 31, 2002, CIT experienced further credit downgrades and
the business environment and other factors continue to negatively impact the
value for the proposed IPO of CIT. As of the date of the preliminary prospectus,
we estimate that the proceeds to Tyco, before underwriting discounts and
commissions, from the sale of 100% of CIT's common stock will be between
$5.0 billion and $5.8 billion. Due to these events, the Company will assess
remaining goodwill of each reporting unit for potential additional impairment
based on the indicators of further decline in value.

NOTE 7--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Upon the acquisition, CIT and Tyco entered into an Operating Agreement, dated
as of June 1, 2001, which provided that CIT and Tyco will not engage in
transactions, including finance, underwriting and asset management and servicing
transactions, unless the transactions are at arm's-length and for fair value. In
particular, Tyco agreed that CIT will have sole discretion and decision-making
authority where CIT is underwriting, managing and servicing assets in
transactions originated through Tyco. CIT and Tyco also agreed to limit
dividends and distributions from CIT to Tyco to (i) fifteen percent (15%) of
CIT's cumulative net income, plus (ii) the net capital contribution by Tyco to
CIT, in each case through the date of such dividend, distribution or
declaration, and that CIT will at all times maintain its books, records and
assets separately from Tyco. The Operating Agreement will terminate if CIT
ceases to be a subsidiary of Tyco.
On February 14, 2002, CIT amended its public debt indentures to prohibit CIT
from:
- declaring or paying any dividend, or making any other payment or
distribution on its capital stock to Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates,
except dividends or distributions payable in common stock of CIT;
- purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring or retiring for value any
capital stock of CIT except in exchange for the common stock of CIT;
- purchasing or selling any material properties or assets from or to, or
consummating any other material transaction with, Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, except on terms that are no less

favorable than those that could be reasonably expected to be obtained in a
comparable transaction with an unrelated third party; and
- making an investment in Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates in the form of
(1) advances, loans or other extensions of credit to Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, (2) capital contributions to or in Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates, or (3) acquisitions of any bonds, notes, debentures or other
debt instruments of, or any stock, partnership, membership or other equity
or beneficial interests in, Tyco or any of Tyco's affiliates.
These restrictions do not restrict the merger of CIT with and into CIT's
immediate parent corporation, or a merger of CIT's immediate parent corporation
with and into CIT, provided that the surviving corporation of the merger has a
consolidated tangible net worth immediately after the merger that is not less
than the consolidated tangible net worth of CIT immediately prior to the merger.
These provisions will no longer apply if (i) CIT and its subsidiaries are
consolidated or merged into another entity (other than Tyco or any of Tyco's
affiliates) or substantially all of CIT and its subsidiaries' properties, common
stock or assets are sold, assigned, leased, transferred, conveyed or otherwise
disposed of in one or more transactions or (ii) once Tyco owns less than 50% of
our common stock as long as at least two-thirds of our board of directors is not
affiliated with Tyco.
On September 30, 2001, CIT sold certain international subsidiaries to a
non-U.S. subsidiary of Tyco at net book value. As a result of this sale, CIT had
receivables from affiliates totaling $1,558.1 million, representing its debt
investment in these subsidiaries. CIT charged arm's-length, market based
interest rates on these receivables, and recorded $19.0 million of interest
income, as an offset to interest expense, related to those notes for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001. A note receivable issued at the time of this
transaction of approximately $295.0 million was collected. Following Tyco's
announcement on January 22, 2002 that it planned to separate into four
independent, publicly-traded companies, CIT repurchased the international
subsidiaries on February 11, 2002 at net book value. In conjunction with this
repurchase, the receivables from affiliates of $1,558.1 million on the at
December 31, 2001 was satisfied.
CIT has entered into a number of equipment loans and leases with affiliates
of Tyco. Loan and lease terms generally range from 3 to 12 years. Tyco has
guaranteed payment and performance obligations under each loan and lease
agreement. At March 31, 2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these
equipment loans and leases was approximately $84.2 million, and the aggregate
amount outstanding upon delivery of all applicable equipment will be
approximately $129.3 million.
CIT has periodically entered into receivable and portfolio purchase
agreements with affiliates of Tyco, pursuant to which CIT purchases conditional
purchase agreements, servicing contracts and other forms of receivables between
the Tyco affiliate and its customers. Certain of these purchase agreements were
entered into prior to the Tyco affiliate being acquired by Tyco. At March 31,
2002, the aggregate amount outstanding under these purchase agreements was
approximately $32.8 million.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2001, certain subsidiaries of Tyco
sold receivables totaling $318.0 million to CIT in a factoring transaction for
$297.8 million in cash. The difference of $20.2 million represents a holdback of
$15.9 million and a discount of $4.3 million (fee income which is recognized by
CIT as income over the term of the transaction). During the quarter ended
December 31, 2001, CIT increased the capacity available under the factoring
program with Tyco from $318.0 million to $384.4 million and sold receivables for
$360.0 million in cash. The difference of $24.4 million represents a holdback of
$19.2 million and a discount of $5.2 million (fee income is

2002, the capacity of the program was reduced to $319.0 million.
Certain of CIT's operating expenses are paid by Tyco and billed to CIT. As
of March 31, 2001, CIT has outstanding payables to subsidiaries of Tyco totaling
$26.3 million related primarily to these charges.
On May 1, 2002, CIT assumed a corporate aircraft lease obligation from Tyco.
The assumed lease obligation is approximately $16.0 million and extends for
134 months beginning on May 1, 2002. Prior to Tyco's acquisition, CIT had an
agreement to purchase this aircraft directly from the previous owner.
TCH's historical financial activity is comprised of intercompany debt
activity with Tyco, and TCH also facilitated the delivery of Tyco common shares
on redemption of CIT Exchangeco shares. As of March 31, 2002 and September 30,
2001, TCH had outstanding $5.6 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, of debt
payable to affiliates of Tyco under a master loan agreement with interest rates
ranging from 5.63% to 6.85% for debt outstanding at March 31, 2002 and 5.63% to
6.25% for debt outstanding at September 30, 2001, maturing over a range of 5 to
20 years for both periods. The weighted average interest rate at March 31, 2002
was 6.11% and at September 30, 2001 was 6.02%. Interest expense for the six
months ended March 31, 2002 was $385.6 million. TCH also had receivables from
affiliates of Tyco totaling $663.9 million, with interest rates ranging from
1.71% to 3.13% at March 31, 2002, and $362.7 million with interest rates of
5.07% at September 30, 2001. In addition, TCH had an investment of
$120.0 million and $161.7 million on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2002 and
September 30, 2001, respectively, related to the common shares to be used to
fulfill the redemption of CIT Exchangeco shares.
NOTE 8--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 1, 2002, the Company completed a $2.5 billion public unsecured bond
offering as part of the previously announced strategy to strengthen its
liquidity position. This debt offering was comprised of $1.25 billion aggregate
principal amount of 7.375% senior notes due April 2, 2007 and $1.25 billion
aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior notes due April 2, 2012. CIT has
determined that the proceeds will be used to repay a portion of existing term
debt at maturity.
On April 25, 2002, CIT Group Inc. (Del) filed a registration statement on
Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the sale of 100
percent of the Company's common stock through an initial public offering
("IPO"). Tyco will receive the proceeds from the offering. If the underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option, CIT will receive the proceeds from that
sale.
On April 30, 2002, Fitch revised the rating watch status on all our ratings
from evolving to negative, due to concerns surrounding the timing of the
separation from Tyco.
On June 7, 2002, Standard & Poor's downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating
from A- to BBB+. Standard & Poor's ratings of CIT's debt remain on watch status
with developing implications.
On June 10, 2002, Fitch downgraded CIT's long-term debt rating from A- to
BBB. All of the Company's Fitch ratings remain on watch status.
On July 1, 2002, Tyco agreed to sell 200 million shares of CIT, representing
100% of the issued and outstanding shares, at an initial public offering price
of $23.00 per share, resulting in estimated proceeds to Tyco of $4.6 billion
before underwriting discounts and commissions. Based on this transaction, the
Company will assess remaining goodwill of each reporting unit for potential
additional impairment.
