Fourth quarter and full year 2008 profit declines were principally due to (i) decreased net yield on average
earning assets, (ii) higher provision for credit losses primarily related to deteriorating global economic conditions, (iii)
interest rate volatility, primarily in the fourth quarter, resulting in mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate derivative
contracts, (iv) increase in general, operating and administrative expenses and (v) write-downs on retained interests related to
the securitized asset portfolio due to worse than expected losses. The fourth quarter decrease in new retail financing was due
primarily to decreases in the North America and Europe operating segments. New retail financing for the year was $15.88
billion, an increase of $1.80 billion, or 13 percent, from 2007. The increase was the result of increased new retail financing,
primarily in our Asia-Pacific and Diversified Services operating segments.

Past dues over 30 days at December 31, 2008, were 3.88 percent compared to 2.36 percent at December 31,

2007. This increase began with the downturn in the U.S. economy and has spread to other countries. Write-offs, net
of recoveries, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were $121 million (0.48% of average retail portfolio) compared to $68
million (0.31% of average retail portfolio) for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in write-offs is primarily
attributable to North America. The rate of write-offs in 2008 as a percentage of average retail portfolio compares favorably
to the most recent period of economic weakness in 2001/2002.

Allowance for credit losses totaled $395 million at December 31, 2008, which is 1.44 percent of net finance
receivables at December 31, 2008, compared with 1.39 percent at December 31, 2007.

As reported in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2009 (the
"Form 8-K"), we and Caterpillar Inc. entered into amendments of various credit agreements utilized primarily to support our
commercial paper programs that increase the upper range of interest rates applicable to certain amounts that may be drawn
under the credit facilities in consideration of the lenders' consent to our interest coverage ratio as of December 31, 2008 and
to Caterpillar Inc.'s consolidated net worth as of December 31, 2008, each of which would otherwise have been below that
stipulated in the credit agreements. This summary description of the amendments to the credit agreements is qualified in its
entirety by reference to terms and provisions of the respective amendments filed as exhibits to the Form 8-K. While we
believe that none of the credit covenants to which we are subject presently materially restrict our operations, our ability to
meet any one particular financial covenant can be affected by events beyond our control. We cannot provide assurance that
we will continue to comply with each covenant, particularly if we continue to experience challenging and volatile market
conditions as in the fourth quarter of 2008, and given that we are required to measure our compliance with our interest
coverage covenant on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Any failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in a default
under our agreements. Upon the occurrence of certain defaults under our credit agreements, indentures and other treasury
programs, the lenders, trustees, or counterparties have the potential ability to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be
immediately due and payable, and our lenders could terminate commitments to extend further credit under our bank credit
facilities.

A number of government programs designed to support the U.S. financial system were implemented in
2008. We believe there have been unintended consequences of these programs that have affected us and other companies
that do not qualify to participate in them. Some of our competitors have been permitted to participate in certain of these
programs, including the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which has effectively created below-market
subsidized financing for those competitors and could continue to negatively impact our ability to issue debt at rates that are
comparable to those offered by our competitors.

The ongoing financial and banking crisis accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2008 and has significantly
impacted economic growth around the globe. We expect 2009 will be the weakest year for economic growth in the postwar
period. We are expecting recessionary conditions to persist in most of the world throughout the year, with no growth in the
world economy. As a result, for 2009, we expect our profit before tax to decline by about half as a result of higher liquidity
costs, such as costs for additional credit facilities, maintaining a higher cash balance and higher borrowing rates, resulting in
lower spreads between the cost of borrowing and our lending rates.

As we expect further weakening of the global economy, we expect past dues and write-offs will likely be higher in
2009 compared with 2008. In response, we increased the Allowance for credit losses to $395 million, or 1.44 percent of net
finance receivables at the end of 2008. Should economic conditions worsen beyond expectations, additional increases to our
allowance for credit losses may be needed. Furthermore, we have initiated several actions aimed at reducing costs including
employment reductions and other general, operating and administrative expenses.
