| Financing Activities               | 4.Financing Activities  A.Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses   We adopted the accounting guidance on disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2010.  See Note 3 for additional information.  This guidance requires information to be disclosed at disaggregated levels, defined as portfolio segments and classes.We apply a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables.  Based upon our analysis of credit losses and risk factors, our portfolio segments are as follows:·  Customer - Finance receivables with the customer.·  Dealer - Finance receivables with Caterpillar dealers.·  Caterpillar Purchased Receivables - Trade receivables purchased from Caterpillar entities.We further evaluate our portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Typically, our finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk.  Our classes, which align with management reporting, are as follows:·  North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States or Canada.·  Europe - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.·  Asia Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, as well as large mining customers worldwide.·  Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Central and South American countries and Mexico.·  Global Power Finance - Finance receivables related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines worldwide and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems worldwide. Impaired loans and finance leasesFor all classes, a loan or finance lease is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or finance lease.  Loans and finance leases reviewed for impairment include loans and finance leases that are past due, non-performing or in bankruptcy. Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed.  Cash receipts on impaired loans or finance leases are recorded against the receivable and then to any unrecognized income. There were no impaired loans or finance leases as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for the Dealer and Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments.  The average recorded investment for impaired loans and finance leases for the Dealer and Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments was $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The average recorded investment for impaired loans and finance leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0 for the Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segment and $16 million and $25 million, respectively, for the Dealer portfolio segment, all of which was in the Europe finance receivable class.

Non-accrual and past due loans and finance leasesFor all classes, we consider a loan or finance lease past due if any portion of a contractual payment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days.  Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due).  Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no loans or finance leases on non-accrual status for the Dealer or Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments.

Credit quality indicators include performing and non-performing.  Non-performing is defined as finance receivables currently over 120 days past due and/or on non-accrual status or in bankruptcy.  Finance receivables not meeting the criteria listed above are considered performing.  Non-performing receivables have the highest probability for credit loss.  The allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral.  In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral and consider credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.

Concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest only periods, below market interest rates, and extended skip payment periods.TDRs are reviewed along with other receivables as part of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.  The allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral.  In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral and factor in credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.There were no loans or finance lease receivables modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for the Dealer or Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments. Loan and finance lease receivables modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, were as follows:(Dollars in millions)                    Three Months EndedSeptember 30, 2011  Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, 2011    Number of Contracts  Pre-TDR Outstanding RecordedInvestment  Post-TDR Outstanding RecordedInvestment  Number of Contracts  Pre-TDR Outstanding RecordedInvestment  Post-TDR Outstanding RecordedInvestment Customer                    North America  14  $2  $2   53  $11  $11   Europe  -   -   -   6   7   7   Asia Pacific  -   -   -   -   -   -   Latin America  -   -   -   12   10   10   Global Power Finance (1) (2)  -   -   -   31   113   113 Total(3)  14  $2  $2   102  $141  $141                                                     (1) During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $11 million of additional funds were subsequently loaned to a borrower whose terms had been modified in a TDR.  The $11 million of additional funds is not reflected in the table above.  At September 30, 2011, remaining commitments to lend additional funds to a borrower whose terms have been modified in a TDR were $2 million.(2) Three customers comprise $104 million of the $113 million pre-TDR and post-TDR outstanding recorded investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.(3) Modifications include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest only periods, below market interest rates, and extended skip payment periods.TDRs with a payment default during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, which had been modified within twelve months prior to the default date, were as follows:(Dollars in millions)                             Three Months EndedSeptember 30, 2011  Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, 2011    Number of Contracts  Post-TDR Recorded Investment  Number of Contracts  Post-TDR Recorded Investment Customer              North America  3  $16   44  $25   Europe  -   -   1   1   Asia Pacific  -   -   -   -   Latin America  7   4   7   4   Global Power Finance  5   65   14   70 Total  15  $85   66  $100                    B.Sales and Servicing of Finance Receivables We securitize certain finance receivables relating to our retail installment sale contracts and finance leases as part of our asset-backed securitization program.  These transactions provide a source of liquidity and allow for better management of our balance sheet capacity.  Included in our other managed assets are individual loans and leases that have been sold to third parties to mitigate the concentration of credit risk with certain customers.  None of the receivables that are directly or indirectly sold or transferred to third parties in any of the foregoing transactions are available to pay our creditors. Securitized Retail Installment Sale Contracts and Finance LeasesWe periodically transfer certain finance receivables relating to our retail installment sale contracts and finance leases to special purpose entities (SPEs) as part of our asset-backed securitization program.  The SPEs have limited purposes and generally are only permitted to purchase the finance receivables, issue asset-backed securities and make payments on the securities.  The SPEs only issue a single series of securities and generally are dissolved when those securities have been paid in full.  The SPEs issue debt to pay for the finance receivables they acquire from us.  The primary source for repayment of the debt is the cash flows generated from the finance receivables owned by the SPEs.  The assets of the SPEs are legally isolated and are not available to pay our creditors.  We retain interests in our securitization transactions, including subordinated certificates issued by the SPEs, rights to cash reserves and residual interests.  For bankruptcy analysis purposes, we sold the finance receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities.  The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to any of our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. In accordance with the new consolidation accounting guidance adopted on January 1, 2010, these SPEs were concluded to be VIEs.  We determined that we were the primary beneficiary based on our power to direct activities through our role as servicer and our obligation to absorb losses and right to receive benefits and therefore consolidated the entities using the carrying amounts of the SPEs’ assets and liabilities. On April 25, 2011, we exercised a cleanup call on our only outstanding asset-backed securitization transaction.  As a result, we had no assets or liabilities related to a consolidated SPE as of September 30, 2011.  The restricted assets (Finance leases and installment sale contracts - Retail, Unearned income, Allowance for credit losses and Other assets) of the consolidated SPE totaled $136 million at December 31, 2010.  The liabilities (Accrued expenses and Current maturities of long-term debt) of the consolidated SPE totaled $73 million at December 31, 2010. Other Managed AssetsWe also sell individual leases and finance receivables to third parties with limited or no recourse to us to either reduce our concentration of credit risk related to certain customers or as an additional source of liquidity.  In accordance with accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets, the transfers to the third parties are accounted for as sales. We maintain servicing responsibilities for these third-party assets, which totaled $180 million and $225 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Since we do not receive a servicing fee for these assets, a servicing liability is recorded.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these liabilities were not significant. C.Purchases of trade receivables from Caterpillar entities  We purchase trade receivables from Caterpillar entities at a discount.  The discount is an estimate of the amount of financing revenue that would be earned at a market rate on these trade receivables over their expected life.  The discount is amortized into revenue on an effective yield basis over the life of the receivables and recognized as Wholesale finance revenue.  Amortized discounts for the trade receivables were $55 million and $35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $157 million and $95 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, collection of the discount is included in investing activities as the receivables are collected.  |
