Navistar International Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note A. Summary of Accounting Policies

Navistar International Corporation (NIC) is a holding company whose principal operating subsidiary is International Truck and Engine Corporation (International). As used hereafter, “company” or “Navistar” refers to Navistar International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. Navistar operates in three principal industry segments: truck, engine (collectively called “manufacturing operations”), and financial services. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the company’s manufacturing operations and its wholly owned financial services subsidiaries. The effects of transactions between the manufacturing and financial services operations have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated totals.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein.

In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Certain 2003 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the presentation used in the 2004 financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (SFAS 148), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” encourage, but do not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for fixed stock options because the exercise prices of the stock options equal the market value of the company’s common stock at the date of grant. Further disclosure about the company’s stock compensation plans can be found in Note 20 to the company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following table illustrates the effect on the company’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS 123 in accordance with the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148.

Note B. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision to SFAS No. 132 (SFAS 132), “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” This Statement retains the disclosures previously required by SFAS 132 but adds additional disclosure requirements about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. It also calls for the required information to be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The interim-period disclosures required by this Statement are included in Note D to the financial statements.

In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (the Act). The FSP provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Act and requires certain disclosures regarding the effect of the federal subsidy provided by the Act. See Note D to the financial statements for additional information.

Note C. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Consolidated interest payments during the first six months of 2004 and 2003 were $61 million and $74 million, respectively. Consolidated tax payments made during the first six months of 2004 and 2003 were not significant.

Note D. Postretirement Benefits

Postretirement Benefits Expense

The company provides postretirement benefits to a substantial portion of its employees. Costs associated with postretirement benefits include pension and postretirement health care expenses for employees, retirees and surviving spouses and dependents. In addition, as part of the 1993 restructured health care and life insurance plans, profit sharing payments to the Retiree Supplemental Benefit Trust (Trust) are required.

The cost of postretirement benefits is segregated as a separate component on the Statement of Income and is as follows:

Note D. Postretirement Benefits (continued)

Employer Contributions

The company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2003 that it expected to contribute approximately $162 million to its pension plans in 2004. As of April 30, 2004, $77 million of contributions have been made to the company’s qualified pension plans. The company presently anticipates contributing an additional $154 million to fund these plans in 2004 for a total contribution of $231 million.

The company also makes contributions to partially fund retiree health care benefits. As of April 30, 2004, $5 million of contributions have been made to the company’s retiree healthcare plans and the company anticipates contributing an additional $4 million in 2004 for a total contribution of $9 million.

Medicare Prescription Drug Law

On December 8, 2003, the President signed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) into law. The Act introduces a voluntary prescription drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. As permitted by FSP 106-1, the company previously chose to defer recognizing the effects of the Act on its postretirement healthcare insurance plans until authoritative guidance was issued by the FASB. Accordingly, the company’s measures of the accumulated projected benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense do not reflect the effects of the Act. In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP 106-2, which supercedes FSP 106-1 and requires the commencement of accounting recognition for the effects of the Act no later than the company’s quarter ending October 31, 2004. The company anticipates implementing the accounting guidance related to the effects of the Act during the quarter ending July 31, 2004 and will be required to report the cumulative effect of accounting for the subsidy as of the date of the Act through the date of implementation. The company anticipates the Act will result in a reduction of its future net healthcare expenses and liabilities.

Note E. Income Taxes

The Statement of Income reflects tax expense which primarily reduces the cumulative benefit of NOL carryforwards currently recognized as a deferred tax asset in the Statement of Financial Condition. Cash payment of income taxes may be required for certain state income, foreign income and withholding taxes. Until the company has utilized its significant NOL carryforwards, the cash payment of United States (U.S.) federal and state income taxes will be minimal.

Note G. Sales of Receivables

Navistar Financial Corporation’s (NFC) primary business is to provide wholesale, retail and lease financing for new and used trucks sold by International and International’s dealers and, as a result, NFC’s finance receivables and leases have significant concentration in the trucking industry. NFC retains as collateral an ownership interest in the equipment associated with leases and a security interest in equipment associated with wholesale notes and retail notes.

During the first six months of fiscal 2004, NFC sold $795 million of retail notes and leases for a pre-tax gain of $32 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2003, when NFC sold $850 million of retail receivables for a pre-tax gain of $33 million.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note G. Sales of Receivables (continued)

NFC’s retained interests which include interest-only receivables, cash reserve accounts, and subordinated certificates, are recorded at fair value in the periods in which the sales occur. The fair value of the interest-only receivable is based on updated estimates of prepayment speeds and discount rates. NFC reassesses the fair value of the retained interests on a quarterly basis.


Note H. Restructuring and Other Non-recurring Charges

Restructuring Charges

In 2000 and 2002, the company’s board of directors approved separate plans to restructure its manufacturing and corporate operations. The company incurred charges for severance and other benefits, curtailment losses, lease terminations, asset and inventory write-downs and other exit costs relating to these plans. The following are the major restructuring, integration and cost reduction initiatives originally included in the 2000 and 2002 Plans of Restructuring (Plans of Restructuring):



The Plans of Restructuring originally called for a reduction in workforce of approximately 5,400 employees, primarily in North America, resulting in charges totaling $169 million. The decision, in 2003, to keep open the Chatham facility along with changes in staffing requirements at other manufacturing facilities will lower the total number of employee reductions to 4,200. The change in expected employee reductions along with an evaluation of the severance reserves related to the HPV and NGD product programs resulted in a net reversal to the previously recorded severance and other benefits reserves totaling $46 million in 2003. In the first quarter of 2004, the company recorded an adjustment of $2 million to previously recorded charges to account for those employees who accepted the early retirement and voluntary severance program at the Chatham facility since October 31, 2003.

A curtailment loss of $157 million was recorded in 2002 relating to the company’s postretirement plans. This loss was the result of an early retirement program for represented employees at the company’s Springfield and Indianapolis plants and the planned closure of the Chatham facility. In 2003, the decision to keep open the Chatham facility, the offer of an early retirement and voluntary severance program to certain employees at the Chatham facility, and the completion of the sign-up period for the early retirement window program offered to certain eligible, long serviced UAW employees, resulted in a net reduction to the previously recorded curtailment loss totaling $5 million. An additional $2 million adjustment in the first quarter of 2004 finalized the postretirement curtailment charge taken in 2003. The curtailment liability has been classified as a postretirement be nefits liability on the Statement of Financial Condition.

H. Restructuring and Other Non-recurring Charges (continued)

Lease termination charges include estimated lease costs, net of probable sublease income, under long-term non-cancelable lease agreements. These charges primarily relate to the lease at the company’s previous corporate office in Chicago, Illinois, which expires in 2010. As of April 30, 2004, $12 million of the total net charge of $44 million has been incurred, of which less than $1 million was incurred during the quarter.

Dealer termination costs include the termination of certain dealer contracts in connection with the realignment of the company’s bus distribution network. Other exit costs include contractually obligated exit and closure costs associated with facility closures and an accrual for the loss on sale of Harco National Insurance Company (Harco). As of April 30, 2004, $42 million of the total net charge of $66 million has been incurred, of which $2 million was incurred during the quarter.


Other Non-Recurring Charges

In October 2002, Ford Motor Company (Ford) advised the company that its current business case for a V-6 diesel engine in the specified vehicles was not viable and discontinued its program for the use of these engines. Accordingly, the company recorded charges of $170 million for the write-off of deferred pre-production costs, the write-down of fixed assets that were abandoned, lease obligations under non-cancelable operating leases, and accruals for amounts contractually owed to suppliers. In 2003, the company recorded an adjustment of $11 million for additional amounts contractually owed to suppliers related to the V-6 diesel engine program. In April 2003, the company reached a comprehensive agreement with Ford concerning the termination of its V-6 diesel engine program. The terms of the agreement include compensation to neutralize certain current and future V-6 diesel engine prog ram related costs not accrued for as part of the 2002 non-recurring charge, resolution of ongoing pricing related to the company’s V-8 diesel engine program and a release by the parties of all of their obligations under the V-6 diesel engine contract. The company, under current agreements, will continue as Ford’s exclusive supplier of V-8 diesel engines through 2012. The agreement with Ford does not have a material net impact on the Statement of Financial Condition or the Statement of Income for the periods covered in this report.

Summary

Through April 30, 2004, the company has recorded cumulative charges of $823 million relating to the Plans of Restructuring and other non-recurring charges. The remaining liability of $133 million is expected to be funded from existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows from operations. The total cash outlay for the remainder of 2004 is expected to be $30 million with the remaining obligation of $103 million, primarily related to non-recurring charges and long-term non-cancelable lease agreements, to be settled in 2005 and beyond.

The first quarter adjustments are included in “Restructuring and other non-recurring charges” on the Statement of Income. The company is in the process of completing certain aspects of the Plans of Restructuring and will continue to evaluate the remaining restructuring reserves as the plans are executed. As a result, there may be additional adjustments to the reserves noted above. Since the company-wide restructuring plans are an aggregation of many individual components requiring judgments and estimates, actual costs have differed from estimated amounts.


Note I. Discontinued Operations

In October 2002, the company announced its decision to discontinue the domestic truck business in Brazil (Brazil Truck) effective October 31, 2002. In connection with this discontinuance, the company recorded a loss on disposal of $46 million. The loss related to the write-down of assets to fair value, contractual settlement costs for the termination of the dealer contracts, severance and other benefits costs, and the write-off of Brazil Truck’s cumulative translation adjustment due to the company’s substantial liquidation of its investment in Brazil Truck.

The disposal of Brazil Truck has been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Accordingly, the operating results of Brazil Truck have been classified as “Discontinued operations.”

Note J. Financial Instruments

The company uses derivative financial instruments as part of its overall interest rate and foreign currency risk management strategy as further described under Item 7A and in Note 13 to the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The financial services operations manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by limiting the amount of fixed rate assets funded with variable rate debt. This is accomplished by selling fixed rate receivables on a fixed rate basis and by utilizing derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments may include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and forward contracts. The fair value of these instruments is estimated based on quoted market prices and is subject to market risk as the instruments may become less valuable due to changes in market conditions or interest rates. NFC manages exposure to counter-party credit risk by entering into derivative financial instruments with major financial institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. NFC does not require collateral or other security to support derivative fina ncial instruments with credit risk.

Note J. Financial Instruments (continued)

NFC’s counter-party credit exposure is limited to the positive fair value of contracts at the reporting date. As of April 30, 2004, NFC’s derivative financial instruments had a negative net fair value. Notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent exposure to credit loss.

At April 30, 2004, the notional amounts and fair values of the company’s derivatives are presented in the following table, in millions of dollars. The fair values of all these derivatives are recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Note K. Guarantees

The company and its subsidiaries occasionally provide guarantees that could obligate them to make future payments if the primary entity fails to perform under its contractual obligations. The company has not recorded a liability for these guarantees. The company has no recourse as guarantor in case of default.

In connection with the $400 million 9 3/8% Senior Notes due 2006 that were issued by the company in May 2001, International provided a full and unconditional guarantee of this indebtedness along with a guarantee on the $250 million 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 that were issued by the company in February 1998. International has also provided a guarantee on the $190 million 2½% Senior Convertible Notes due 2007 that were issued by the company in December 2002.

The company provided a guarantee on the $19 million 9.95% Senior Notes due 2011 that International issued in June 2001. As of April 30, 2004, the outstanding balance on this debt was $16 million.

The company and International are obligated under certain agreements with public and private lenders of NFC to maintain the subsidiary’s income before interest expense and income taxes at not less than 125% of its total interest expense. No income maintenance payments were required for the six months ended April 30, 2004.

NIC guarantees lines of credit made available to its Mexican finance subsidiaries by third parties and NFC. NFC guarantees the borrowings of the Mexican finance subsidiaries. The following table summarizes the borrowings as of April 30, 2004, in millions of dollars.

The company also guarantees many of the operating leases of its operating subsidiaries. The leases have various expiration dates that extend through June 2014. The remaining maximum obligation under these leases as of April 30, 2004, totaled approximately $625 million.

The company and International also guarantee real estate operating leases of International and of the subsidiaries of the company. The leases have various maturity dates extending through 2019. As of April 30, 2004, the total remaining obligation under these leases is approximately $48 million.

The company and NFC have issued residual value guarantees in connection with various operating leases. The amount of the guarantees is undeterminable because in some instances, neither the company nor NFC is responsible for the entire amount of the guaranteed lease residual. The company’s and NFC’s guarantees are contingent upon the fair value of the leased assets at the end of the lease term. The difference between this fair value and the guaranteed lease residual represents the amount of the company’s and NFC’s exposure.

Note K. Guarantees (continued)

As of April 30, 2004, NFC had guaranteed derivative contracts for interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps related to two of the company’s Mexican finance subsidiaries. NFC is liable up to the fair market value of these derivative contracts only in cases of default by the two Mexican finance subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2004, there was an outstanding notional balance of $69 million related to interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps, and the fair market value of the outstanding balance was $1 million.

As part of the sale of Harco, NFC has agreed to guarantee the adequacy of Harco’s loss reserves as of November 30, 2001, the closing date of the sale. There is no limit to the potential amount of future payments required under this agreement, which is scheduled to expire in November 2008. As security for its obligation under this agreement, NFC has reserved $5 million. Management believes the carrying amount of the liability is adequate to cover any future potential payments.

At April 30, 2004, the Canadian operating subsidiary was contingently liable for $334 million of retail customers’ contracts and $38 million of retail leases that are financed by a third party. The Canadian operating subsidiary is responsible for the residual values of these financing arrangements. These contract amounts approximate the resale market value of the collateral underlying the note liabilities.

In addition, the company entered into various guarantees for purchase commitments, credit guarantees and buyback programs with various expiration dates that total approximately $96 million. In the ordinary course of business, the company also provides routine indemnifications and other guarantees whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. The company does not believe these will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the company.

Product Warranty

Provisions for estimated expenses related to product warranty are made at the time products are sold. These estimates are established using historical information about the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims. Management actively studies trends of warranty claims and takes action to improve vehicle quality and minimize warranty claims. Management believes that the warranty reserve is appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve.

Changes in the product warranty accrual for the six months ended April 30, 2004, were as follows:

Note L. Legal Proceedings and Environmental Matters

The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings that constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the company and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of the company's management, none of these proceedings or claims is material to the business or the financial condition of the company.

The company has been named a potentially responsible party (PRP), in conjunction with other parties, in a number of cases arising under an environmental protection law, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, popularly known as the Superfund law. These cases involve sites that allegedly have received wastes from current or former company locations. Based on information available to the company which, in most cases, consists of data related to quantities and characteristics of material generated at, or shipped to, each site as well as cost estimates from PRPs and/or federal or state regulatory agencies for the cleanup of these sites, a reasonable estimate is calculated of the company's share, if any, of the probable costs and is provided for in the financial statements. These obligations are generally recognized no later than completion of the reme dial feasibility study and are not discounted to their present value. The company reviews its accruals on a regular basis and believes that, based on these calculations, its share of the potential additional costs for the cleanup of each site will not have a material effect on the company's financial results.

Various claims and controversies have arisen between the company and its former fuel system supplier, Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar), regarding the ownership and validity of certain patents covering fuel system technology used in the company's new version of diesel engines that were introduced in February 2002. In June 1999, in Federal Court in Peoria, Illinois, Caterpillar sued Sturman Industries, Inc. (Sturman), the company’s joint venture partner in developing fuel system technology, alleging that technology invented and patented by Sturman and licensed to the company, belongs to Caterpillar. After a trial, on July 18, 2002, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Caterpillar finding that this technology belongs to Caterpillar under a prior contract between Caterpillar and Sturman. Sturman has appealed the adverse judgment, and the company is cooperating with Sturman in thi s effort. In May 2003, in Federal Court in Columbia, South Carolina, Caterpillar sued the company, its supplier of fuel injectors and joint venture, Siemens Diesel Systems Technology, L.L.C., and Sturman for patent infringement alleging that the Sturman fuel system technology patents and certain Caterpillar patents are infringed in the company’s new engines. The company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims of infringement of the Sturman patents as well as the Caterpillar patents and will vigorously defend such claims. Based on the information developed to date, the company believes that the proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

In January 2002, Caterpillar sued the company in the Circuit Court in Peoria County, Illinois, and the company counterclaimed against Caterpillar, each alleging the other breached the purchase agreement pursuant to which Caterpillar supplied fuel systems for the company’s prior version of diesel engines. Caterpillar’s claims involve a 1990 agreement to reimburse Caterpillar for costs associated with the delayed launch of the company’s V-8 diesel engine program. Reimbursement of the delay costs was made by a surcharge of $8.08 on each injector purchased and the purchase of certain minimum quantities of spare parts. In 1999, the company concluded that, in accordance with the 1990 agreement, it had fully reimbursed Caterpillar for its delay costs and stopped paying the surcharge and purchasing the minimum quantities of spare parts. Caterpillar is asserting that the surc harge and the spare parts purchase requirements continue throughout the life of the contract and has sued the company to recover these amounts, plus interest. Caterpillar also asserts that the company failed to purchase all of its fuel injector requirements under the contract and, in collusion with Sturman, failed to pursue a future fuel systems supply relationship with Caterpillar. The company has counterclaimed that Caterpillar breached the Supply Agreement by refusing to supply the new fuel system for the company’s new diesel engines. The company is seeking damages from Caterpillar on account of this refusal and the company’s subsequent replacement of Caterpillar as its fuel system supplier. Based upon the information developed to date, and taking into account established reserves, the company believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the company.

Note L. Legal Proceedings and Environmental Matters (continued)

Along with other vehicle manufacturers, the company and certain of its subsidiaries have been subject to an increase in the number of asbestos-related claims in recent years. Management believes that such claims will not have a material adverse affect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations. In general these claims relate to illnesses alleged to have resulted from asbestos exposure from component parts found in older vehicles, although some cases relate to the presence of asbestos in company facilities. In these claims the company is not the sole defendant, and the claims name as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers of a wide variety of products allegedly containing asbestos. Management has strongly disputed these claims, and it has been the company’s policy to defend against them vigorously. Historically, the actual damages paid out to cl aimants have not been material to the company’s financial condition. However, management believes the company and other vehicle manufacturers are being more aggressively targeted, largely as a result of bankruptcies of manufacturers of asbestos and products containing asbestos. It is possible that the number of these claims will continue to grow, and that the costs for resolving asbestos related claims could become significant in the future.

The computation of diluted shares outstanding for three months ended April 30, 2003, and for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003, excludes incremental shares of 9.7 million, 10.8 million and 8.1 million, respectively, related to employee stock options, convertible debt and other dilutive securities. These shares are excluded due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Note P. Condensed Consolidating Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

The following tables set forth the condensed consolidating Statements of Financial Condition as of April 30, 2004 and 2003, and the Statements of Income and Cash Flow for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003. The following information is included as a result of the guarantee of the 9 3/8% senior notes due 2006 by International, exclusive of its subsidiaries. International is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of NIC. International, exclusive of its subsidiaries, also guarantees NIC’s obligations under its 2.5% senior convertible notes due 2007, and 8% senior subordinated notes due 2008. None of NIC’s other subsidiaries guarantee any of these notes. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning International have not been presented because management believes that such information is not material to i nvestors. NIC includes the consolidated financial results of the parent company only, with all of its wholly owned subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method. International, for purposes of this disclosure only, includes the consolidated financial results of its wholly owned subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method. “Non-Guarantor Companies and Eliminations” includes the consolidated financial results of all other non-guarantor subsidiaries including the elimination entries for all intercompany transactions. All applicable corporate expenses have been allocated appropriately among the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.

NIC files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return that includes International and its U.S. subsidiaries. International has a tax allocation agreement (Tax Agreement) with NIC which requires International to compute its separate federal income tax expense based on its adjusted book income. Any resulting tax liability is paid to NIC. In addition, under the Tax Agreement, International is required to pay to NIC any tax payments received from its subsidiaries. The effect of the Tax Agreement is to allow the parent company, rather than International, to utilize U.S. operating income/losses and NIC operating loss carryforwards.

Navistar International Corporation and Consolidated Subsidiaries
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note Q. Subsequent Events

In June 2004, the company issued $250 million in senior notes due in 2011 and used the proceeds to finance its offer to purchase and redeem its outstanding 8 percent senior subordinated notes due in 2008. To enable the refinancing, the company obtained certain amendments from existing bondholders of its $400 million 9 3/8 percent senior notes due in 2006 and amended certain other existing covenants. The new senior notes were priced at a discount with a coupon rate of 7.50 percent to yield 7.625 percent.

The company also announced that it intends to assume the $220 million 4.75 percent exchangeable subordinated debt due in 2009 from NFC and receive approximately $170 million in cash from NFC as compensation for assumption of the debt. The company previously received $50 million from NFC as compensation for providing the shares in case the bonds convert.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Navistar International Corporation is a holding company and its principal operating subsidiary is International Truck and Engine Corporation (International). Navistar operates in three principal industry segments: truck, engine (collectively called “manufacturing operations”) and financial services. The company’s principal operations are located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. In this discussion and analysis, “company”, “Navistar”, “we” or “our” refers to Navistar International Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The company is currently focused on three key areas: quality, cost and growth. Improvements in quality and cost are anticipated through changes in manufacturing, design, engineering, supplier management and customer service, while growth is expected through the introduction of new products and the development of new markets.

In the second quarter, the company continued its focus on these key areas. The company launched two new products: the re-designed DT466, an in-line six cylinder diesel engine, and the Drive+ Integrated Bus. The new DT466 engine has more horsepower and is U.S. EPA 2004 emission standards compliant while suffering no decrease in fuel economy. The launch of the new Drive+ Integrated Bus helped the company capture 51% of the market for school bus bodies, the highest in company history, and 10% higher than a year ago. In addition, our Class 8 market share in the second quarter was its highest since the third quarter of 1998, demonstrating the company’s focus on growth. The company operates in a challenging environment and must continue to build upon its strengths and focus on its key initiatives to increase profitability.

Results of Operations (continued)

The company continued to improve earnings and sales and revenues over the comparable periods last year as a result of better operating results from the manufacturing operations. These improved results were primarily due to higher sales volume. Income from the financial services segment improved compared to the first quarter and was consistent with the prior year. The events that impacted the performance of the company’s three operating segments will be analyzed, in detail, later in this discussion.

Gross margins from manufacturing operations in the second quarter of 2004 were 12.9%, the same as in the second quarter a year ago. Improvements in performance and startup costs of 1.2% were offset by steel price increases, foreign exchange losses and expenses associated with component supply issues. Due to increased industry demand, constraints within the supply base contributed to the company finishing the quarter with approximately 1,000 trucks in inventory.

Total expenses for the quarter were flat when compared to the second quarter of 2003. However, included in the second quarter 2004 results is an accrual for profit sharing and incentive compensation that did not occur in 2003. The reduction in year to date total expenses continues to show the effects of our cost saving initiatives and lower postretirement benefits expense. Substantially all of the participants in the company’s pension plans are inactive, consequently, the company was required to amortize cumulative gains and losses related to pension benefits over the remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants in the plans starting in the second quarter of 2003. This change resulted in lower amortization expense in subsequent quarters.

The following sections analyze the company’s second quarter operating results as they relate to its three principal segments: truck, engine, and financial services.

Truck

The truck segment manufactures and distributes a full line of Class 6 through 8 diesel-powered trucks and school buses in the common carrier, private carrier, government/service, leasing, construction, energy/petroleum and student transportation markets. The truck segment also provides customers with proprietary products needed to support the International â truck and the IC ä bus lines, together with a wide selection of other standard truck and trailer aftermarket parts. Sales of Class 6 through 8 trucks have historically been cyclical, with demand affected by such economic factors as industrial production, construction, demand fo r consumer durable goods, interest rates as well as the earnings and cash flow of dealers and customers. In addition, the Class 6 through 8 truck markets in the U.S. and Canada are highly competitive. The intensity of this competition results in price discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry. Even though sales volume has improved, the company continues to experience competitive pricing pressure on its new truck sales. In addition to the influence of price, market position is driven by product quality, engineering, styling, utility and distribution.

*  Industry data derived from materials produced by Ward’s Communications.
** The company does not meaningfully participate in the Class 5 medium truck market.

The truck segment’s improved performance for the second quarter and the first half of 2004 is the result of increased sales volume in medium and heavy truck and increased efficiency within its manufacturing processes. Signs of an overall economic recovery caused leasing companies and owner operators to increase their orders in 2004, which has resulted in increased order receipts in the heavy and medium truck industries. The company’s U.S. and Canadian order backlog increased 49%, when compared to last year, due to orders for heavy and medium trucks. The company’s overall market share decreased slightly for the quarter and year-to-date due to weaker order rates for school buses and a slight decrease in medium truck market share. The company believes the slight downturn within bus is a timing issue and expects the overall market share downturn to imp rove in the near future.

The company currently projects fiscal 2004 U.S. and Canadian Class 8 heavy truck demand to be 208,000 units, up 31% from 2003. Class 6 and 7 medium truck demand, excluding school buses, is forecast at 93,000 units, 24% higher than in 2003. Demand for school buses is expected to be 27,500 units, down 6% from 2003.

Engine

The engine segment designs and manufactures diesel engines in the 160-325 horsepower range for use in the company’s Class 6 and 7 medium trucks, school buses and selected Class 8 heavy truck models. The company’s diesel engines are also produced for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), principally Ford Motor Company (Ford). This segment also sells engines for industrial and agricultural applications. In addition, the engine segment provides customers with proprietary products needed to support the International â engine lines, together with a wide selection of other standard engine and aftermarket parts.

The following table highlights the engine segment’s financial results and sales data for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2004 and 2003.

The increases in the engine segment’s profits and revenues for the first half of fiscal 2004 are the result of higher engine shipments to OEMs and increased sales volume in medium trucks. Volume and operating results in the second quarter of 2003 were favorably impacted by record engine shipments due to the backlog of orders from the 6.0L V-8 engine launch in the first quarter of 2003. In the second quarter of 2004, the company experienced some margin pressure from the introduction of the new I313, our new I-6 diesel engine, but cost reduction initiatives have been re-initiated which we anticipate will favorably impact margins going forward. The company’s V-8 shipments to Ford accounted for 88% of year-to-date OEM engine sales for the first half of fiscal 2003 and 2004.

The company continues to forecast that OEM shipments of mid-range diesel engines in fiscal 2004 are expected to be 349,000 units, 5% higher than 2003.

Financial Services

Financial Services provides wholesale, retail and lease financing for sales of new and used trucks sold by the company and its dealers in the U.S. and Mexico. Financial services also finances the company’s wholesale accounts and selected retail accounts receivable. Sales of new products (including trailers) of other manufacturers are also financed regardless of whether designed or customarily sold for use with the company's truck products.

The year-to-date gain on the sale of retail receivables in the first half of fiscal 2004 was recognized primarily in the second quarter while the gain in the first half of fiscal 2003 was recognized in the first quarter. The slight decrease in net income for the first half of fiscal 2004 is primarily due to a reduction in retail notes and finance lease revenue, lower operating lease revenue and less income related to the sales of finance receivables. Even though the volume on sales of receivables was down when compared to the first six months of fiscal 2003, gains on the sales were comparable due to larger margins realized on the sales.

Restructuring and Other Non-recurring Charges

Restructuring

In 2000 and 2002, the company’s board of directors approved two separate plans to restructure its manufacturing and corporate operations (Plans of Restructuring). The company incurred charges for severance and other benefits, curtailment losses, lease terminations, asset and inventory write-downs and other exit costs relating to the major restructuring, integration and cost reduction initiatives originally included in the Plans of Restructuring. A detailed discussion of the charges and initiatives can be found in Note H to the financial statements.

Other Non-Recurring Charges

The company entered into an agreement with Ford to develop and manufacture a V-6 diesel engine to be used in specific Ford vehicles. In October 2002, Ford advised the company that its current business case for a V-6 diesel engine in the specified vehicles was not viable and discontinued its program for the use of these engines. Accordingly, in 2002, the company recorded charges for the write-off of deferred pre-production costs, the write-down of fixed assets that were abandoned, lease obligations under non-cancelable operating leases, and accruals for amounts contractually owed to suppliers. In April 2003, the company reached a comprehensive agreement with Ford concerning termination of its V-6 diesel engine program. The terms of the agreement include compensation to neutralize certain current and future V-6 diesel engine program related costs not accrued for as part of the 2002 n on-recurring charge, resolution of ongoing pricing related to the company’s V-8 diesel engine program and a release by the parties of all of their obligations under the V-6 diesel engine contract. The company, under current agreements, will continue as Ford’s exclusive supplier of V-8 diesel engines through 2012.

Status

The company recorded an adjustment in the first quarter of 2004 totaling $4 million of additional expense to the previously recorded restructuring charge. The adjustment relates to the early retirement and voluntary severance program offered to employees at the Chatham facility. This adjustment finalized the postretirement curtailment charge taken in 2003, which was based upon estimates, and records the increased benefit expense for those who have accepted the program since October 31, 2003.

Restructuring and Other Non-recurring Charges (continued)

Through April 30, 2004, the company has recorded cumulative charges of $823 million relating to the Plans of Restructuring and other non-recurring charges. The remaining liability of $133 million is expected to be funded from existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows from operations. The total cash outlay for the remainder of 2004 is expected to be $30 million with the remaining obligation of $103 million, primarily related to non-recurring charges and long-term non-cancelable lease agreements, to be settled in 2005 and beyond.

The initiatives resulting from the Plans of Restructuring are expected to generate at least $70 million of annualized savings for the company, primarily from lower salary and benefit costs and plant operating costs. The company will continue to realize these benefits in 2004 and beyond.

Components of the company’s Plans of Restructuring and other non-recurring charges are shown in the following table.

The first quarter adjustments are included in “Restructuring and other non-recurring charges” on the Statement of Income. The company is in the process of completing certain aspects of the Plans of Restructuring and will continue to evaluate the remaining restructuring reserves as the plans are executed. As a result, there may be additional adjustments to the reserves noted above. Since the company-wide restructuring plans are an aggregation of many individual components requiring judgments and estimates, actual costs have differed from estimated amounts.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

The company generates cash flow from the manufacture and sale of trucks, mid-range diesel engines and service parts. In addition, cash flow is generated from product financing provided to the company’s dealers and retail customers by the financial services segment. It is the opinion of management that, in the absence of significant unanticipated cash demands, current and forecasted cash flow from the company’s manufacturing operations, financial services operations and financing capacity will provide sufficient funds to meet operating requirements and capital expenditures. Management of the company’s financial services operations believes that collections on the outstanding receivables portfolios as well as funds available from various funding sources will permit the financial services operations to meet the financing requirements of International’s dealers and retail customers. The manufacturing operations are generally able to incur material amounts of additional debt due to their current levels of performance.

The company had working capital of $22 million at April 30, 2004, compared to $251 million at April 30, 2003. Cash used in operations during the first six months of 2004 totaled $75 million, including a $77 million increase in receivables primarily due to a net increase in wholesale notes and account balances resulting from increased product demand and a $131 million increase in inventory primarily due to higher production volume and some constraints within the supply base which contributed to a higher level of trucks in ending inventory. This was partially offset by a related $83 million increase in accounts payable, reflecting the increase in production, and net income of $18 million. Cash provided by investment programs resulted from a net decrease in retail notes and lease receivables of $156 million. This was partially offset by a net increase in marketable securities of $41 m illion. Cash used in financing activities resulted from a net decrease in notes and debt outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility and other commercial paper programs of $67 million and a net decrease in long-term debt of $56 million.

There have been no material changes in the company’s hedging strategies or derivative positions since October 31, 2003. Further disclosure may be found in Note J to the Financial Statements and in the company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In June 2004, the company intends to assume the $220 million 4.75% subordinated exchangeable notes due in 2009 from NFC. As compensation for the assumption of this debt, NFC will pay the company approximately $170 million in cash. The company previously received $50 million from NFC as compensation for providing NFC the company’s stock in case the bonds convert. The company intends to use the proceeds from this transaction to increase its 2004 pension contribution, which will improve future cash flow by reducing 2005-2006 required pension contributions.

Financial Services

The financial services segment, mainly Navistar Financial Corporation (NFC), has traditionally obtained the funds to provide financing to the company’s dealers and retail customers from sales of finance receivables, commercial paper, short and long-term bank borrowings and medium and long-term debt. As of April 30, 2004, NFC’s funding consisted of sold finance receivables of $3,157 million, bank and other borrowings of $1,016 million, convertible debt of $181 million and secured borrowings of $174 million. NFC securitizes and sells receivables through Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation (NFRRC), Navistar Financial Securities Corporation (NFSC), Truck Retail Accounts Corporation (TRAC), Truck Engine Receivables Financing Corporation (TERFCO) and Truck Retail Installment Paper Corporation (TRIP), all special purpose corporations and wholly owned subsidiaries o f NFC. The sales of finance receivables in each securitization constitute sales under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with the result that the sold receivables are removed from NFC’s balance sheet and the investors’ interests in the related trust or conduit are not reflected as liabilities.

Financial Services (continued)

Through the asset-backed public market and private placement sales, NFC has been able to fund fixed rate retail notes and finance leases at rates which are more economical than those available to NFC in the unsecured public bond market. During the first six months of 2004, NFC sold $795 million of retail notes and finance leases, net of unearned finance income, for a pre-tax gain of $32 million. The receivables were sold through NFRRC to an owner trust which, in turn, issued asset-backed securities that were sold to investors. At April 30, 2004, there was no remaining shelf registration available to NFRRC for the public issuance of asset-backed securities.

The following are the funding facilities, in millions of dollars, that NFC and its related affiliates have in place as of April 30, 2004.

As of April 30, 2004, the aggregate available to fund finance receivables under the various facilities was $1,038 million.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

Generally, the company’s pension plans are non-contributory. The company’s policy is to fund its pension plans in accordance with applicable U.S. and Canadian government regulations and to make additional payments as funds are available to achieve full funding of the accumulated benefit obligation. Other benefits obligations are primarily funded in accordance with the legal agreement, which governs the Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) that currently requires the company to fund a portion of the plan’s annual service cost.

Critical Accounting Policies

The company has identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved, could result in material changes to its financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. The company’s most critical accounting policies are related to sales allowances, sales of receivables, product warranty, product liability, pension and other postretirement benefits, allowance for losses and impairment of long-lived assets. Details regarding the company’s use of these policies are described in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no material changes to these policies since October 31, 2003.

Income Taxes

The Statement of Financial Condition at April 30, 2004, includes a deferred tax asset of $1,453 million, net of valuation allowances of $110 million. The company performs extensive analyses to evaluate the balance of deferred tax assets. Such analyses are based on the premise that the company is, and will continue to be, a going concern and that it is more likely than not that deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. For more information, refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 3 in the company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a revision to SFAS No. 132 (SFAS 132), “Employers’ Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits.” This Statement retains the disclosures previously required by SFAS 132 but adds additional disclosure requirements about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. It also calls for the required information to be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans. The interim-period disclosures required by this Statement are included in Note D to the financial statements.

On December 8, 2003, the President signed the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) into law. The Act introduces a voluntary prescription drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare plans that provide prescription drug benefits that are at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. As permitted by FSP 106-1, the company previously chose to defer recognizing the effects of the Act on its postretirement healthcare insurance plans until authoritative guidance was issued by the FASB. Accordingly, the company’s measures of the accumulated projected benefit obligation and net periodic postretirement benefit expense do not reflect the effects of the Act. In May 2004, the FASB issued FSP 106-2, which supercedes FSP 106-1 and requires the commencement of accounting recognition for the effects of the Act no later than the company’s quarter ending October 31, 2004. The company anticipates implementing the accounting guidance related to the effects of the Act during the quarter ending July 31, 2004 and will be required to report the cumulative effect of accounting for the subsidy as of the date of the Act through the date of implementation. The company anticipates the Act will result in a reduction of its future net healthcare expenses and liabilities.

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on those statements because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, and such forward-looking statements only speak as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy. These statements often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or similar expressions. Thes e statements are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. For a further description of these factors, see Exhibit 99.1 to Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2003, filed with the SEC on December 19, 2003.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
 
 
The company’s primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates as further described in Item 7A of the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Interest rate risk is the risk that the company will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in interest rates. The company measures its interest rate risk by estimating the net amount by which the fair value of all of its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities would be impacted by selected hypothetical changes in market interest rates. Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis. Assuming a hypothetical instantaneous 10% adverse change in interest rates as of January 31, 2004, the net fair value of these instruments would decrease by approximately $22 million. The company’s interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift in interest rate yield curves. The model, therefore, does not reflect the potential impact of changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates.
 
There have been no material changes in the company’s foreign currency risk since October 31, 2003, as reported in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
 
 
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
 
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
The company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, along with other management of the company, evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of April 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the company concluded that, as of April 30, 2004, the disclosure controls and procedures in place at the company were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to the company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2) effective, in that such disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by t he company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, in reports that the company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Although the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer believe the company’s existing disclosure controls and procedures are adequate to enable the company to comply with its disclosure obligations, the company has established a disclosure committee and is in the process of formalizing and documenting the controls and procedures already in place.
 
Changes in internal controls
 
The company has not made any significant changes to its internal control over financial reporting (as defined in rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
 
 
 
The company and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims arising in the ordinary course of business, and are parties to various legal proceedings that constitute ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the company and its subsidiaries. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to commercial, product liability and warranty matters. In the opinion of the company’s management, the disposition of these proceedings and claims, after taking into account established reserves and the availability and limits of the company’s insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse affect on the business or the financial condition of the company.
 
Various claims and controversies have arisen between the company and its former fuel system supplier, Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar), regarding the ownership and validity of certain patents covering fuel system technology used in the company's new version of diesel engines that were introduced in February 2002. In June 1999, in Federal Court in Peoria, Illinois, Caterpillar sued Sturman Industries, Inc. (Sturman), the company’s joint venture partner in developing fuel system technology, alleging that technology invented and patented by Sturman and licensed to the company, belongs to Caterpillar. After a trial, on July 18, 2002, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Caterpillar finding that this technology belongs to Caterpillar under a prior contract between Caterpillar and Sturman. Sturman has appealed the adverse judgment, and the company is cooperating with Sturman in this ef fort. In May 2003, in Federal Court in Columbia, South Carolina, Caterpillar sued the company, its supplier of fuel injectors and joint venture, Siemens Diesel Systems Technology, L.L.C., and Sturman for patent infringement alleging that the Sturman fuel system technology patents and certain Caterpillar patents are infringed in the company’s new engines. The company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims of infringement of the Sturman patents as well as the Caterpillar patents and will vigorously defend such claims. Based on the information developed to date, the company believes that the proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the company.
 
In January 2002, Caterpillar sued the company in the Circuit Court in Peoria County, Illinois, and the company counterclaimed against Caterpillar, each alleging the other breached the purchase agreement pursuant to which Caterpillar supplied fuel systems for the company’s prior version of diesel engines. Caterpillar’s claims involve a 1990 agreement to reimburse Caterpillar for costs associated with the delayed launch of the company’s V-8 diesel engine program. Reimbursement of the delay costs was made by a surcharge of $8.08 on each injector purchased and the purchase of certain minimum quantities of spare parts. In 1999, the company concluded that, in accordance with the 1990 agreement, it had fully reimbursed Caterpillar for its delay costs and stopped paying the surcharge and purchasing the minimum quantities of spare parts. Caterpillar is asserting that the surch arge and the spare parts purchase requirements continue throughout the life of the contract and has sued the company to recover these amounts, plus interest. Caterpillar also asserts that the company failed to purchase all of its fuel injector requirements under the contract and, in collusion with Sturman, failed to pursue a future fuel systems supply relationship with Caterpillar. The company has counterclaimed that Caterpillar breached the Supply Agreement by refusing to supply the new fuel system for the company’s new diesel engines. The company is seeking damages from Caterpillar on account of this refusal and the company’s subsequent replacement of Caterpillar as its fuel system supplier. Based upon the information developed to date, and taking into account established reserves, the company believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters will not have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations or financial condition of the company.
 
Along with other vehicle manufacturers, the company and certain of its subsidiaries have been subject to an increase in the number of asbestos-related claims in recent years. Management believes that such claims will not have a material adverse affect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations. In general these claims relate to illnesses alleged to have resulted from asbestos exposure from component parts found in older vehicles, although some cases relate to the presence of asbestos in company facilities. In these claims the company is not the sole defendant, and the claims name as

defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers of a wide variety of products allegedly containing asbestos. Management has strongly disputed these claims, and it has been the company’s policy to defend against them vigorously. Historically, the actual damages paid out to claimants have not been material to the company’s financial condition. However, management believes the company and other vehicle manufacturers are being more aggressively targeted, largely as a result of bankruptcies of manufacturers of asbestos and products containing asbestos. It is possible that the number of these claims will continue to grow, and that the costs for resolving asbestos related claims could become significant in the future.
 
 
Item 2.
Changes in Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Directors of the company who are not employees receive an annual retainer and meeting fees payable at their election in shares of common stock of the company or in cash. Currently the board of directors mandates that at least one-fourth of the annual retainer be paid in the form of common stock of the company. For the period covered by this report, receipt of approximately 1,600 shares were paid in the form of restricted stock and approximately 1,477 shares were deferred as payment for the fiscal year 2004 annual retainer and meeting fees. In each case, the shares were acquired at prices ranging from $45.555 to $48.915 per share, which represented the fair market value of such shares on the date of acquisition. Exemption from registration of the shares is claimed by the company under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
Payments of cash dividends and the repurchase of common stock are currently limited due to restrictions contained in the company’s $400 million Senior Notes, $250 million Senior Subordinated Notes and $19 million Note Purchase Agreement. The company has not paid dividends on the common stock since 1980 and does not expect to pay cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
During the quarter ended April 30, 2004, the company did not repurchase any of its securities, however, the company does have two call option derivative contracts which it entered into in December 2002 in connection with its $190 million senior convertible notes. The purchased call option and written call option will allow the company to minimize share dilution associated with the convertible debt from the conversion price of each note up to approximately $53.40 per share. The maturity and terms of the hedge match the maturity and certain terms of the notes.
 
 
Item 4.
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
 
 
 
At the company’s Annual Meeting of Shareowners on February 17, 2004, the following nominees were elected to the board of directors to serve three-year terms expiring at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareowners and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
