DEBT

We have an asset-backed commercial paper program in the United States with qualified institutional investors. We also obtain other short-term funding from the issuance of demand notes to retail investors through our floating rate demand notes program. We have certain asset-backed securitization programs that issue short-term debt securities that are sold to institutional investors. Bank borrowings by several of our international affiliates in the ordinary course of business are an additional source of short-term funding.

We obtain long-term debt funding through the issuance of a variety of unsecured and asset-backed debt securities in the United States and international capital markets. We also sponsor a number of asset-backed securitization programs that issue long-term debt securities that are sold to institutional investors in the United States and international capital markets.

NOTE 8. DEBT (Continued)

Debt Repurchases and Calls. From time to time and based on market conditions, we may repurchase or call some of our outstanding unsecured and asset-backed debt. If we have excess liquidity and it is an economically favorable use of our available cash, we may repurchase or call debt at a price lower or higher than its carrying value, resulting in a gain or loss on extinguishment.

In the second quarter and first half of 2011, through private market transactions, we repurchased and called an aggregate principal amount of $816 million (including $152 million maturing in 2011) and $1.5 billion, respectively, of our unsecured debt. There were no repurchase or call transactions for asset-backed debt during 2011. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $27 million and a pre-tax loss of $34 million, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and fees, in Other income, net in the second quarter of 2011 and the first half of 2011, respectively.

In the second quarter and first half of 2010, through private market transactions, we repurchased and called an aggregate principal amount of $2 billion and $2.4 billion, respectively, of our unsecured debt and asset-backed debt. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $53 million and a pre-tax loss of $60 million, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and fees, in Other income, net in the second quarter of 2010 and the first half of 2010, respectively.
