Investments in Non-consolidated Affiliates
Investments in Non-consolidated Affiliates
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates is comprised of our interests in partially-owned affiliates of which our ownership percentages range from 10% to 50%. We do not control these affiliates, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies. We account for them using the equity method of accounting. We made new and incremental investments in these non-consolidated affiliates of $25 million and $39 million during 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, our share of net unfunded losses in non-consolidated affiliates totaled $77 million and $68 million, respectively.
In February 2013, the Company sold its interests in the Mahindra Joint Ventures to Mahindra for $33 million. As a result of the divestiture, the Global Operations segment recognized a gain of $26 million in 2013. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into licensing and service agreements with Mahindra.
In September 2009, NC2 Global LLC ("NC2") was established as a joint venture with Caterpillar to develop, manufacture, and distribute conventional and cab-over truck designs to serve the global commercial truck market. In September 2011, we restructured our relationship with Caterpillar resulting in the termination of the joint venture agreement and the Company subsequently acquired all of Caterpillar's ownership interest in NC2, thereby increasing the Company's equity interest in NC2 from 50% to 100%. The effects of accounting for this acquisition were not material. Prior to the termination of our NC2 joint venture agreement with Caterpillar, our 50% interest in NC2 was included in Investments in non-consolidated affiliates. Equity in loss of non-consolidated affiliates included a loss of $39 million related to NC2 for the year ended October 31, 2011. We have consolidated the operating results of NC2 within our North America Truck segment since September 30, 2011.

Presented below is summarized financial information representing 100% of NC2, which was considered a significant non-consolidated affiliate in 2011, prior to increasing the equity interest in September 2011.
