| Fair Value Measurements                | Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The following table summarizes our financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012by level within the fair value hierarchy.  Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

 

In instances in which we meet the accounting guidance for set-off criteria, we elect to net derivative assets and derivative liabilities and the related cash collateral received and paid.

 

Derivative assets were reduced by a counterparty credit valuation adjustment of $1 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.Derivative liabilities were reduced by a non-performance credit valuation adjustment of less than $1 million as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Note 2 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of their respective reporting periods.  During fiscal 2013, $53 million of U.S. government and agency obligations were valued using quoted prices for identical securities traded in an active market and were transferred from Level 2to Level 1.  During fiscal 2012, we transferred $27 million of U.S. government and agency obligations from Level 1 to Level 2 due to the lack of quoted prices for identical securities traded in an active market.  Additionally, during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, certain available-for-sale debt instruments were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to reduced transparency of market price quotations for these and/or comparable instruments.  Certain derivatives previously categorized as Level 3 in prior periods were valued using observable inputs and were transferred into Level 2 during fiscal 2012.

 

The following tables summarize the reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for fiscal 2013 and 2012:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

 

Nonrecurring fair value measurements consist of Level 3 net finance receivables that are individually evaluated for impairment.  These assets are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments when there is evidence of impairment.  For these assets, we record the fair value on a nonrecurring basis and disclose changes in fair value during the reporting period.  Total nonrecurring fair value measurements of $208 million and $166 million were recorded as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.  

 

The total change in fair value of financial instruments subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income consisted of net gains on net finance receivables within the dealer products portfolio segment of $12 million, $22 million and $24 million for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Level 3 Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2013

       

At March 31, 2013, our Level 3 financial instruments subject to recurring fair value measurement consisted of available-for-sale securities of $73 million, derivative assets of $75 million and derivative liabilities of $20 million.  At March 31, 2012, our Level 3 financial instruments subject to recurring fair value measurement consisted of available-for-sale securities of $21 million, derivative assets of $92 million and derivative liabilities of $34 million. The fair value measurements of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities subject to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurement, and the corresponding change in the fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities, were not significant.

The carrying value of each class of finance receivables includes deferred fees and costs, net of the allowance for credit losses and deferred income; the amount excludes related party transactions of $40 million and $36 million at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively and direct finance leases of $235 million and $213 million at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, as these are not subject to fair value reporting requirements.  

 

The carrying value of unsecured notes and loans payable represents the sum of unsecured notes and loans payable and carrying value adjustment as described in Note 9 – Debt.  At March 31, 2012, there were loans payable to affiliates of $2.2 billion included in unsecured notes and loans payable carried at amounts that approximate fair value.  There were no loans payable to affiliates that were included in unsecured notes and loans payable at March 31, 2013.

| - Definition
The entire disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities which includes [financial] instruments measured at fair value that are classified in stockholders' equity. Such assets and liabilities may be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The disclosures which may be required or desired include: (1) for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, disclosure may include: (a) the fair value measurements at the reporting date; (b) the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall, segregating fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3); (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (ii) purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (net); (iii) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs); (d) the amount of the total gains or losses for the period in subparagraph (c) (i) above included in earnings (or changes in net assets) that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date and a description of where those unrealized gains or losses are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (e) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques, if any, during the period and (2) for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired assets) disclosure may include, in addition to (a) above: (a) the reasons for the fair value measurements recorded; (b) the same as (b) above; (c) for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a description of the inputs and the information used to develop the inputs; and (d) the valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes, if any, in the valuation technique(s) used to measure similar assets and/or liabilities in prior periods. Where the quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, the Level 1 input is the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset.
