NOTE 11. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES – FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR
The net investment in operating leases at December 31 was as follows (in millions):
Included in net investment in operating leases at December 31, 2004 were interests in operating leases and the related vehicles
of about $2.5 billion that have been transferred for legal purposes to consolidated securitization SPEs and are available only
for repayment of debt issued by those entities, and to pay other securitization investors and other participants; they are not
available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors.
Minimum rentals on operating leases are contractually due as follows: 2005 - $4.7 billion; 2006 - $2.2 billion;
2007 - $1.3 billion; 2008 - $548 million; 2009 - $135 million; thereafter - $407 million.
Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated primarily on the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce
the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease
termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned. Operating lease depreciation expense (which includes
gains and losses on disposal of assets) was $6.4 billion in 2004, $8.5 billion in 2003, and $9.9 billion in 2002.
