Includes net investment in operating leases of $5.1 billion and $6.4 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, that have been included in securitization transactions but continue to be included in our consolidated financial statements.

We hold the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt and other obligations issued or arising in securitization transactions. See Note 5 for additional information.
