TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1.	Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Textron Financial Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Financial Corporation (Textron Financial, ~~TFC~~ or the Company) and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions ~~transactions~~ are eliminated. The Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of Textron Financial’s consolidated financial position at ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, Textron Inc. (Textron) announced a plan to exit all of our commercial finance business, other than the portion supporting the financing of customer purchases of products which Textron manufactures. In the second quarter of 2009, we changed our management structure for the captive business to facilitate the management of its operations. Due to this change, we consolidated the portion of the former Golf Finance segment that finances customer purchases of Textron manufactured golf and turf-care equipment into the former Aviation Finance segment, forming the new Captive Finance segment. In the fourth quarter of 2009, due to further changes in how the performance of our business is measured and consolidation of our management and operational structure, we combined all remaining portions of our former operating segments into a new Non-captive Finance segment, which represents the business we are liquidating. All comparative segment information for prior periods has been recast to reflect this change.


Note 2.	Special Charges

Restructuring charges

In conjunction with the plan to exit our Non-captive Finance business, we announced a restructuring program to downsize and consolidate our operations. Costs incurred under this plan, all of which are related to the Non-captive Finance segment for the periods presented, are summarized in the table below:

	Three Months Ended				~~Six~~Nine Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,
	September 30,		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
	~~(In millions)~~		(In millions)
Severance and pension curtailment costs	$	21	$	51	$	56	$	78
Contract termination costs		12		—		13		1
Total Restructuring charges	$	3	$	51	$	69	$	89

Restructuring charges are generally of a nonrecurring nature and are not included in Segment loss, which is our measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.

An analysis of our restructuring reserve is presented below:

	Severance and
	Pension			Contract
	Curtailment			Termination
	Costs			Costs		Total
	(In millions)
Balance at January 2, 2010	$	13		$	—	$	13
Additions		56			13		69
Cash Paid		(912	)		—		(912	)
Balance at June 30, 2010	$	9		$	1	$	10
Balance at September 30, 2010	$	7		$	3	$	10

Restructuring charges since the inception of the program through ~~June~~September 30, 2010 are summarized below by segment:

	Captive Finance		Non-captive Finance		Total
	Captive		Non-captive
	Finance		Finance		Total
	(In millions)
Severance and pension curtailment costs	$	1	$	3132	$	3233
Non-cash asset impairments		3		8		11
Contract termination costs		—		35		35
Total Restructuring charges	$	4	$	4245	$	4649

We expect to incur additional costs to exit the Non-captive Finance segment of our business over the next 1815 months. These costs are expected to be within a range from $74 million to $118 million and be primarily attributable ~~attributable~~ to severance and retention benefits. We expect to eliminate ~~eliminate~~ approximately 850 positions, representing approximately 80% of our total workforce over the life of the program. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, we have terminated approximately ~~approximately 660~~690 employees under this program.

Other Special charges

In connection with the substantial liquidation of one of the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiaries, wein ~~expect~~the tothird quarter ~~take~~of 2010, we recorded a $91 million non-cash ~~after~~ pre-tax charge ~~of approximately $78 million~~ to reclassify the subsidiary’s cumulative currency translation adjustment account within Other comprehensive loss to the Consolidated ~~statement~~ Statements of ~~operations~~Operations. ~~Accordingly, the~~ The reclassification of this amount ~~will~~resulted ~~have~~in noa ~~impact on Shareholder’s equity.~~$74 million ~~The timing of this non~~after-~~cash~~tax charge isthat ~~expected~~did tonot ~~occur in the second half of 2010 once we~~ have ~~substantially~~an ~~liquidated~~impact ~~the~~on ~~assets~~Shareholder’s ~~held by the subsidiary~~equity.

Total managed finance receivables	$	54,~~386~~706	100%	$	6,873	100%

Finance Receivables Held for Investment

Finance receivables held for investment include approximately $~~521~~485 million and $629 million of finance receivables at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, ~~respectively,~~ respectively, primarily in the Captive Aviation product line that have been legally sold to special purpose entities (SPEs) which are consolidated subsidiaries of Textron Financial. The assets of the SPEs are pledged as collateral for $~~427~~400 million and $559 million of debt as of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively, which have been reflected as securitized on-balance sheet debt. Third-party investors have no legal recourse to Textron Financial beyond the credit enhancement provided by the assets of the SPEs.

In the first quarter of 2010, we increased Captive Golf Equipment finance receivables held for sale by $144 million to a total of $225 million, as a result of inquiries we received to purchase finance receivables in this portfolio. During the second quarter, we came to a preliminary agreement to sell approximately $120 million of these finance receivables. This sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010. As a result, we reclassified the remaining $105 million of finance receivables to held for investment. We believe this activity is consistent with our goal of maximizing the economic value of our portfolio.

A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired finance receivables are classified as either nonaccrual or accrual loans. We have suspended the accrual of interest income on nonaccrual finance receivables, which include accounts that are contractually delinquent by more than three months, unless collection is not doubtful, and accounts for which interest has been suspended based on detailed individual review without regard to

(1)		Finance receivables collateralized primarily by timeshare notes receivable may also be collateralized by certain real estate and other assets of our borrowers.

(2)		Timeshare lending relationships often include both revolving loans secured by notes receivable and construction/inventory loans secured by real property. These loan balances have been presented in their respective categories in the table above. These loans are cross-collateralized, therefore the allowance for loan losses related to the entire lending relationship is presented in the Notes receivable collateral type in the table above.

Nonaccrual finance receivables decreased $168 million from the year-end balance, primarily due to the resolution of several significant accounts through the repossession of collateral, restructure of finance receivables and cash collections, partially offset by new finance receivables identified as nonaccrual in 2010. New finance receivables identified as nonaccrual were primarily comprised of accounts secured by golf course property, aircraft and marinas. The net reductions by collateral type included $97 million for general aviation aircraft, $40 million for dealer inventory, $34 million for golf course property and $20 million for hotels, partially offset by a $38 million net increase in accounts secured by marinas.

The average recorded investment in impaired nonaccrual finance receivables during the first nine months of 2010 was $897 million compared to $508 million in the corresponding period in 2009. The average recorded

revolving loans since we typically receive all cash collections from the underlying collateral and advance funds to the borrower only when the borrower is not in default and has sufficient collateral under the terms of the contract. These cash collections are often sufficient to satisfy contractually required payments of interest and principal for long periods of time subsequent to the borrower experiencing significant financial stress.


Note 4.	Other Assets

Textron Financial’s Other assets are primarily composed of operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables, repossessed assets and properties, investments in other marketable securities, other long term investments and derivative financial instruments.

Operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables are assets we intend to operate for a substantial period of time and/or make substantial improvements to prior to sale. As of ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, they primarily represent the assets of operating golf courses that have been repossessed and investments in real estate associated with matured leveraged leases. These assets are initially recorded at the lower of net realizable value or the previous carrying value of the related finance receivable. The assets are measured for impairment on an ongoing basis by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the current carrying value. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is estimated to be less than the carrying value, the Company records a charge to Portfolio losses, net of gains, for the shortfall between estimated fair value and the carrying amount. The revenues and expenses related to these assets, excluding investments made for capital improvements, are recorded in Operating and administrative expenses. In the first ~~six~~ nine months of 2010, revenues were $1724 million and $711 million from golf courses and other real estate, respectively, and expenses were $2333 million and $711 million from golf courses and other real estate, respectively. In the first ~~six~~nine months of 2009, revenues ~~and expenses~~ were $1319 million and $162 million from ~~golf~~ golf courses and other real estate, respectively, ~~while~~and ~~revenues~~expenses were $25 million and ~~expenses~~$2 million from ~~other~~golf courses and other real estate, ~~were not significant~~respectively.

Investments in other marketable securities represent investments in notes receivable issued by timeshare securitization trusts. These investments were $5955 million and $68 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. We We have classified these investments as held to maturity as management has the intent and ability to hold them until maturity. At ~~June~~September 30, 2010, unrealized losses ~~on the~~were ~~portion~~$3 million on $30 million of these investments for which fair value was lower than our carrying value ~~were $4 million~~. These investments have been in a continuous, unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months. These unrealized losses are the result of market yield expectations and are considered temporary due to the continued performance of the underlying collateral of ~~the~~ the timeshare securitization trusts. In reaching our conclusion ~~that~~ that the investments are not other-than-temporarily impaired, we relied on industry analyst reports, credit ratings specific to each investment and information on delinquency, loss and payment experience of the collateral underlying each security.


Note 5.	Derivative Financial Instruments

Textron Financial utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These instruments include interest rate exchange agreements and foreign currency exchange agreements. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company did not experience a significant net gain or loss in earnings as a result of the ineffectiveness, or the exclusion of any component from its assessment of hedge effectiveness, of its derivative financial instruments in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2010. orThe Company recorded a $2 million gain in earnings during the first nine months of 2009 as a result of the ineffectiveness of an interest rate exchange agreement. The fair values of derivative instruments are included in either Other assets or Accrued interest and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the Company’s significant derivative activities relating to qualifying hedges of interest rate risk and foreign currency exposure:

	Notional Amount				Fair Value Amount

As a result of our exit plan announced in December 2008, we no longer view our investment in our Canadian subsidiary as permanent. Therefore, we began hedging our net investment in this subsidiary during the fourth quarter of 2008 to prevent any reduction in the U.S. dollar equivalent cash flows we will receive upon liquidation of this subsidiary.

Foreign currency forward exchange agreements are utilized by the Company to convert foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities into the functional currency of the respective legal entity. At ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, notional amounts of $~~251~~228 million and $531 million, respectively, of these foreign currency forward exchange agreements were not designated in hedge relationships. The fair value of these non-designated derivative instruments were $1 million and $(13) million at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. ~~Gains/(~~Net losses) on foreign currency forward exchange agreements were $4(3) million and $(36) million for the three and ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010, respectively, and $(30) million and $(5282) million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, respectively. These ~~gains/(~~net losses) were largely offset by the translation of the related ~~foreign~~ foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, and were ~~recorded~~ recorded in Operating and administrative expenses.

The effect of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

			Amount of Gain/(Loss)
			Three Months Ended						~~Six~~Nine Months Ended

Gains/(losses) included in earnings related to cash flow hedges were $6 million and $(104) million for ~~both~~ the three and nine ~~six~~ months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010, ~~and~~respectively, and $48 million and $(73) million for the three and ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2009, respectively. These gains/(losses) were largely offset by the translation of the related foreign currency denominated debt. The Company did not experience a significant gain or loss in Other Comprehensive Income related to cash flow hedges during the first ~~three~~nine ~~and six~~ months of 2010 or 2009.


Note 6.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (the “inputs”) into a three-tier fair value hierarchy. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions. Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, and include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2. Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach, and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are only utilized to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost-effective to obtain.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure our derivative financial instruments, net at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. The net balance of these derivative financial instruments, ~~net~~ was $6235 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The Company’s derivative contracts are not exchange-traded and are measured at fair value utilizing widely accepted, third-party developed valuation models. The actual terms of each individual contract are entered into the model in addition to interest rate and foreign exchange rate data which is based on readily observable market data published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. Credit risk is factored into the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities based on the differential between both the Company’s credit default swap spread for liabilities and the counterparty’s credit default swap spread for assets as compared to a standard AA-rated counterparty, however, this had no significant impact on the valuation as of ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010.

There are no active, quoted market prices for our finance receivables. The estimate of fair value was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models to estimate the exit price we expect to receive in the principal market for each type of loan in an orderly transaction, which includes both the sale of pools of similar assets and the sale of individual loans. The models incorporate estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of prospective purchasers combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and credit line utilization rates. Where available, the assumptions related to the expectations of prospective purchasers are compared to observable market inputs, including bids from prospective purchasers and certain bond market indices for loans of similar perceived credit quality. Although we utilize and prioritize these market observable inputs in our discounted cash flow models, these inputs are rarely derived from markets with directly comparable loan structures, industries and collateral types. Therefore, valuations of finance receivables held for sale involve significant management judgment, which can result in differences between our fair value estimates and those of other market participants.

Impaired Finance Receivables

Finance receivable impairment is measured by comparing the expected future cash flows discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount is higher, we establish a reserve based on this difference. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results. Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables represent assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Fair values of collateral are determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, our recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models. Fair value measurements recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 on impaired finance receivables resulted in charges of $85 million and $117 million, respectively, to Provision for losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The evaluation of impaired Revolving loans collateralized by timeshare notes receivable is performed utilizing internally developed cash flow models which incorporate the unique structural features of these loans. Timeshare notes receivables loans are loans to developers of resort properties which are collateralized by pools of consumer notes receivable. These notes receivable are originated by developers in connection with the sale of vacation intervals and typically bear interest at rates in excess of the rate on our loan to the developer. In addition to the interest differential between the consumer notes and our loan to the developers, there are several features of our loans which provide protection from credit losses in the pools of consumer notes. We have a priority interest in all cash flows from these pools of consumer notes, typically advance approximately 90% of the collateral value, have a security interest in either the underlying real estate or the right to use the resort property and often have personal guarantees from the principal of the borrower. Our impairment models incorporate management’s best estimate of credit losses in the pools of consumer notes based on historical trends as adjusted for our understanding of current trends in the developer’s underwriting practices and the developer’s ability to mitigate losses through the repurchase or replacement of defaulted notes.

Finance Receivables Held for Sale

Finance receivables held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. As a result of our plan to exit the Non-captive Finance business through a combination of orderly liquidation of finance receivables as they mature and selected sales, $252 million of finance receivables, net of a $37 million valuation allowance, have been classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2010. The finance receivables held for sale as of September 30, 2010 are primarily assets in the Golf Mortgage product line. Golf course mortgages classified as held for sale were identified as a portion of a larger portfolio with common characteristics based on the intention to balance the sale of certain loans with the collection of others to maximize economic value. These finance receivables are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during periods in which the fair value is lower than the cost value. Fair value measurements on finance receivables held for sale are recorded in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first nine months of 2010, we sold $375 million of finance receivables classified as held for sale in the Distribution Finance product line and recorded $26 million of gains related to these sales. In addition, we sold $84 million of finance receivables classified as held for sale in the Captive Golf equipment product line at book value. Total gains related to finance receivable sales were $30 million for the first nine months of 2010.

Repossessed Assets and Properties / Operating Assets Received in Satisfaction of Troubled Finance Receivables

The fair value of repossessed assets and properties and operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables is determined based on the use of appraisals, industry pricing guides, input from market participants, the Company’s recent experience selling similar assets or internally developed discounted cash flow models. For repossessed assets and properties, which are considered assets held for sale, if the carrying amount of the asset is higher than the estimated fair value, the Company records a corresponding charge to income for the difference. For operating assets received in satisfaction of troubled finance receivables, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is estimated to be less than the carrying value, the Company records a charge to income ~~for any shortfall between estimated fair value and the~~ carrying amount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, charges on these assets totaled $18 million and $22 million, respectively, and were recorded in Portfolio losses, net of gains in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Investments

Other investments, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, are recorded at fair value if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows from the investment is estimated to be less than the carrying value. There are no active, quoted market prices for our equity method investments. The estimates of fair value are determined utilizing internally developed discounted cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions specific to the nature of the investments’ business and underlying assets. These assumptions include industry valuation benchmarks such as discount rates, capitalization rates and cash flow multiples as well as assumptions more specifically related to the amount and timing of the businesses’ operating cash flow. There were no charges associated with these assets during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Finance Receivables Held for Investment

There are no active, quoted market prices for these finance receivables. The estimate of fair value was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models which incorporate estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and credit line utilization rates. Where available, the assumptions related to the expectations of current market participants are compared to observable market inputs, including bids from prospective purchasers of similar loans and certain bond market indices for loans of similar perceived credit quality. Although we utilize and prioritize these market observable inputs in our discounted cash flow models, these inputs are rarely derived from markets with directly comparable loan structures, industries and ~~collateral~~ types. Therefore, all valuations of finance receivables involve significant management judgment, which can result in differences between our fair value estimates and those of other market participants. The carrying amounts of Textron Financial’s leveraged leases, finance leases and operating leases ($281 million, $263 million and $202 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010 and $313 million, $403 million and $216 million, respectively, at January 2, 2010), are specifically excluded from this disclosure under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, a significant portion of the assets that are included in the Company’s asset and liability management strategy are excluded from this fair value disclosure.

Investments in Other Marketable Securities

Other marketable securities represent investments in notes receivable issued by securitization trusts which purchase timeshare notes receivable from timeshare developers. These notes are classified as held to maturity and are held at amortized cost. The estimate of fair value was based on observable market inputs for similar securitization interests in markets that are currently inactive.

Therefore, all valuations of finance receivables involve significant management judgment, which can result in differences between our fair value estimates and those of other market participants. The carrying amounts of Textron Financial’s leveraged leases, finance leases and operating leases ($281 million, $256 million and $194 million, respectively, at September 30, 2010 and $313 million, $403 million and $216 million, respectively, at January 2, 2010), are specifically excluded from this disclosure under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, a significant portion of the assets that are included in the Company’s asset and liability management strategy are excluded from this fair value disclosure.

Debt

At ~~June~~September 30, 2010 and January 2, 2010, 4144% and 54%, respectively, of the fair value of debt was determined based on observable market transactions. The remaining fair values were determined based on discounted cash flow analyses ~~using~~ using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations.

Net investment in finance assets includes finance assets less deferred income taxes, security deposits and other specifically identified liabilities. The interest allocation matches variable-rate finance assets in the Captive Finance segment with variable-rate debt of similar duration and fixed-rate finance assets in the Captive Finance segment with fixed-rate debt of similar duration to the extent possible. The remaining balance of interest expense incurred is included in the Non-captive Finance segment’s interest expense.
(2)		Direct operating expenses are included in each segment’s loss. Due to the plan to exit all of our Non-captive Finance segment and the resulting variations in personnel levels and job responsibilities, indirect corporate oversight expenses, comprised primarily of executive salaries and benefits, are included in the segment loss of the Non-captive Finance segment, although a portion of these expenses relate to oversight of the Captive Finance segment.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, all of which should be carefully considered by investors in our securities. The risks discussed in our SEC filings are those that we believe currently are the most significant, although additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant also may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, perhaps materially.


Item 2.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In light of our plan to exit the Non-captive Finance business, we expect to substantially rely on cash from finance receivable collections to fund maturing debt obligations. During the first ~~half~~nine months of 2010, we liquidated $12.52 billion of managed ~~finance~~ finance receivables. These managed finance receivable reductions occurred in both of our segments and all of our product lines, but were primarily driven by Non-captive Finance reductions, including $~~582~~862 million ~~(54%)~~ in Distribution Finance and $~~220~~295 million ~~(17%)~~ in Timeshare. These reductions resulted from ~~from~~ the combination of scheduled finance receivable collections, sales, discounted payoffs, repossession of collateral, charge-offs and impairment charges recorded as Portfolio losses, net of gains, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Finance receivable reductions in the Distribution Finance ~~Finance~~ product line included asales of $~~208~~375 million ~~sale~~ of finance ~~finance~~ receivables. In addition, the reduction in managed finance ~~finance~~ receivables included $~~399~~631 million of liquidations in the Captive Finance segment primarily as a result of reduced loan ~~loan~~ and lease originations and a sale of $84 million of finance receivables. During 2010, we expect to liquidate approximately ~~approximately~~ $2.24 billion of managed finance receivables, net of originations. We expect a portion of the liquidations, net of originations, will be in the Captive Finance segment. The originations of the Captive Finance segment exclude finance receivables serviced on behalf of another finance subsidiary of Textron.

In order to meet our capital needs, we could access either secured or unsecured debt markets. However, we have borrowed available cash from Textron during ~~the first half of~~ 2010 through an intercompany borrowing arrangement as it has been in the collective economic interest of Textron Financial and Textron to do so. We ~~increased~~ decreased our outstanding intercompany loan balance with Textron to $~~645~~263 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 from ~~from~~ $447 million at January 2, 2010. In addition, during ~~during~~ the first ~~half~~nine months of 2010, we retired $1.47 billion of long-term and securitized on-balance sheet debt.

We measure the progress of our exit plan related to the Non-captive Finance segment, in part, based on the percentage of managed finance receivable and other finance asset reductions converted to cash. During the first ~~half~~nine months of 2010, the Non-captive Finance segment achieved a 9394% cash conversion ratio as compared to 95% for the year ended January 2, 2010. This performance was primarily driven by asales of $~~208~~375 million ~~sale of~~ of finance receivables ~~for a gain of $13 million~~ in the Distribution Finance product line during the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2010. We expect this ratio to continue to decline over the duration of our exit plan due to the change in mix from shorter term assets in the Distribution Finance and Asset-Based Lending product lines to longer term assets in our Timeshare, Golf Mortgage and Structured Finance product lines and the existence of a higher concentration of nonaccrual finance receivables.

Under a Support Agreement between Textron Financial and Textron, Textron is required to ensure that Textron Financial maintains fixed charge coverage of no less than 125% and consolidated shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million. In the first ~~half~~nine months of 2010, Textron Financial’s fixed ~~charge~~ charge coverage ratio was below the required 125%. Textron made ~~cash~~ cash payments of $155 million, $82 million and $71 million on ~~July~~ October 12, 2010, July 12, 2010 and April 9, 2010, respectively, to Textron Financial, which were reflected as capital contributions, to maintain compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio. Textron also made a cash payment of $75 million on January 12, 2010 to maintain compliance with the 2009 fixed charge coverage ratio.

The ~~provision~~increase ~~for~~in ~~loan~~special ~~losses~~charges ~~decreased~~includes a $91 million non-cash pre-tax charge recorded during the ~~three~~third ~~and~~quarter ~~six~~of ~~month~~2010. ~~periods~~This charge represents a reclassification of ~~2010~~the Company’s aswholly-owned ~~compared~~Canadian tosubsidiary’s cumulative ~~2009~~currency ~~primarily~~translation ~~due~~adjustment toaccount awithin Other ~~decrease~~comprehensive inloss ~~new~~to ~~accounts~~the ~~identified~~Consolidated Statements of Operations as ~~nonaccrual~~a ~~during~~result of the substantial liquidation of the Canadian ~~period~~subsidiary. The reclassification of this amount did not have an impact on Shareholder’s equity.

Portfolio losses, net of gains decreased during the three and six month periods of 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily as a result of a decrease in discounts taken on the early sale or termination of finance receivable assets associated with the liquidation of Distribution Finance and Golf Mortgage finance receivables, lower impairment

Operating and administrative expenses decreased during the first three and nine month periods of 2010 as compared to 2009 mostly due to lower salaries and benefits expense associated with a reduction in workforce as a result of our exit plan.

Accretion of valuation allowance represents the recognition of interest earnings in excess of a loan’s contractual rate as a result of the discount rate utilized to record the loan at fair value in previous periods. These interest earnings are recognized over the remaining life of the portfolio to the extent the valuation allowance is not expected to be utilized to absorb losses associated with sales, discounted payoffs or credit losses.

Item 4.	*Controls and Procedures*

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that (a) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (b) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in Textron Financial’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

~~TEXTRON FINANCIAL~~Item ~~CORPORATION~~ 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including the risk factors discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, all of which should be carefully considered by investors in our securities. The risks discussed in our SEC filings are those that we believe currently are the most significant, although additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem less significant also may impact our business, financial condition or results of operations, perhaps materially.

Difficult conditions in the financial markets have adversely affected our business and results of operations and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

Our financial performance depends on the quality of loans, leases and other finance assets in our portfolio. Portfolio quality may be adversely affected by several factors, including finance receivable underwriting procedures, collateral quality, or geographic or industry concentrations, the ability of our customers to obtain alternative financing as we exit certain lines of business, the effect of the economic downturn on our customers’ businesses, as well as the broader deterioration of the financial markets. As a result of the tumultuous conditions in the financial markets over the past two years, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies and defaults, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility, widespread reduction of business activity and bankruptcy filings. Valuations of the types of collateral securing our timeshare and other portfolios have been and may continue to be adversely affected by increased consumer delinquencies, the reduction in business activity and bankruptcy proceedings involving our borrowers. Valuations of the types of collateral securing our captive finance portfolio, particularly valuations of used aircraft, have decreased significantly and may continue to decrease if weak economic conditions continue. Declining collateral values could result in greater delinquencies and foreclosures as customers elect to discontinue payments on loan balances which exceed asset values. Bankruptcy proceedings involving our borrowers may prevent or delay our ability to exercise our rights and remedies and realize the full value of our collateral. Our losses may increase if our collateral cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of our finance receivable portfolio. In particular, declining collateral values in the portion of our captive finance portfolio secured by non-Textron manufactured aircraft may result in increased losses as we may have greater difficulty liquidating these assets. Further deterioration of our ability to successfully collect our finance receivable portfolio and to resolve problem accounts may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability and financial condition. If these negative market conditions persist or worsen, we could experience continuing or increased adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.
