REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

International Truck and Engine Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the International Truck and Engine Corporation Retirement Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the International Truck and Engine Corporation Retirement Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

General

The Plan is sponsored by International Truck and Engine Corporation (the “Company”) to provide savings and retirement benefits for certain eligible salaried employees of the Company and of certain affiliates participating under the Plan who were first hired on or after January 1, 1996. The Plan was established January 1, 1996, and has subsequently been amended to maintain qualification under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “IRC”) and to modify the provisions of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended.

Contributions

Participant contributions may be made to the Plan on a pretax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination of both. Pretax salary reduction contributions to the Plan are subject to annual maximum limits equal to the lesser of 90% of a participant’s eligible compensation or a prescribed Internal Revenue Service dollar amount. In addition, for 2005, those participants who were age 50 or over during the Plan year had the ability to defer additional amounts on a pretax basis. After-tax contributions are subject to annual maximum limits of 90% of eligible compensation. The total of pretax and after-tax contributions cannot exceed 90% of eligible compensation. Both pretax and after-tax contributions may be elected at a minimum level of 1% of eligible compensation at any time. Subject to Company approval, certain eligible employees are allowed to make rollover contributions to the Plan, if such contributions satisfy applicable regulations. Such employees are not required to be participants for any purpose other than their rollover account; however, no pretax salary reduction contributions may be made until such time as such employee would otherwise become eligible to and does elect participation in the Plan.

The Plan permits, but does not require, the Company to make matching and retirement contributions. Such contributions are subject to a vesting schedule based upon the participant’s length of employment, and fully vest upon completion of five years of service. The Company currently matches 50% of the first 6% of eligible pretax compensation deferred by the participant. Effective for the 2005 Plan year, the participant is immediately eligible to receive such matching contributions. Retirement contributions are allocated to eligible members and are calculated as a percentage of eligible compensation, based on the participant’s age at the end of each calendar quarter.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - Continued

 

Contributions - Continued

 

Non-vested Company matching and retirement contributions are forfeited when a participant retires or terminates service. Such forfeitures are used to offset future Company contributions. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $794,901 and $267,107, respectively. For each of the Plan years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, $800,000 of forfeitures were used to offset Company contributions. Salary reduction contributions and rollover contributions are fully vested immediately.

Investment Options

Company matching and discretionary retirement contributions are initially invested in the Frank Russell Aggressive Balanced Fund. Once assets are in the fund, participants can direct them to any other investment option available in the Plan. Once assets are moved out of the Frank Russell Aggressive Balanced Fund, they cannot be transferred back. Participants direct the investment of their account balances and future contributions. Investment options during 2005 and 2004 consisted of funds classified as mutual funds, commingled funds, separate accounts or Navistar International Corporation (“Navistar”) common stock.

Participant Accounts

Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Contributions and assets allocated to a specific investment fund are commingled with those of other participants and are invested in accordance with the nature of the specific fund. Realized gains and losses, unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and dividends and interest are allocated to participants based on their proportionate share of the funds. Fund managers’ fees are charged to participants’ accounts as a reduction of the return earned on each investment option. All other administrative costs related to the Plan are paid directly by the Company.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to the lesser of 50% of their vested account balance or $50,000. Company matching and retirement contributions are not available for loans. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between the applicable investment funds and the loan fund. Loan terms range from one to five years, with the exception of loans made for the purchase of a principal residence, which may be repaid in installments over a period of up to ten years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Plan administrator.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - Continued

 

Payment of Benefits

Participants may request either an in-service or hardship withdrawal of certain of their account assets. Participants may only withdraw authorized pre-tax salary reduction contributions after attaining age 59- 1/2, or on a hardship basis prior to attaining age 59- 1/2. Company matching and retirement contributions and investment earnings thereon are not eligible for in-service withdrawal.

Vesting

A participant’s vested account is distributable at the time a participant separates from service with the Company, suffers a total and permanent disability or dies. When the participant terminates employment, the vested portion of the account will be distributed if the asset value is $1,000 or less. Effective March 28, 2005, for mandatory distributions prior to the participant attaining normal retirement age, for amounts greater than $1,000 (but not more than $5,000), if the participant does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the participant in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the Plan will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Plan administrator. If the asset value is more than $5,000, the participant has the option of receiving the account upon separation or deferring receipt until no later than age 65. Accounts are distributed in a single sum. If the account includes 100 or more shares of Navistar common stock, the distribution of that portion of the account will be made in the form of full shares of common stock and a cash payment for any fractional shares. For accounts with less than 100 shares of Navistar common stock, the distribution will be made in cash.

 

 

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - Continued

 

Risks and Uncertainties

Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investment in the International Truck and Engine Corporation Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) is presented at fair value, which has been determined based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the Master Trust. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.

Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates market value.

Participant Withdrawals

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no benefits which were due to former participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan. Benefits are recorded when paid.

Administrative Fees

Most administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.

 

 

NOTE C - MASTER TRUST

All of the Plan’s investment assets are held in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Trustee”) and consist of a divided interest in an investment account of the Master Trust, a master trust established by the Company and administered by the Trustee. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of plan assets with the assets of other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company and its affiliated companies for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets of all plans are commingled in the Master Trust, the Trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the net gain or loss of the investment account to the participating plans. The net investment income of the investment assets is allocated by the Trustee to each participating plan based on the relationship of the interest of each plan to the total of the interests of the participating plans.

NOTE D - NON-PARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

The Company initially directs the investment of certain contributions. The Company employs professional investment managers, as selected by the Pension Fund Investment Committee of the Company, to manage such investment portfolio. It is intended that the assets will be invested on a long-term basis, consistent with the purpose of the Plan to provide retirement benefits. Such Plan assets are held in the Master Trust and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, were invested in the Frank Russell Aggressive Balanced Fund, a mutual fund which invests in common stocks of United States and foreign companies and in intermediate bonds. After such contributions are initially deposited in the fund, participants can direct them to any other investment option available in the Plan. Once assets are moved out of the Frank Russell Aggressive Balanced Fund, they cannot be transferred back.

NOTE E - TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

The Plan obtained a determination letter dated September 17, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial statements.

NOTE F - TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, the Company, at its discretion, reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the Plan, provided that no such action shall deprive any person of any rights to contributions made under the Plan. If the Plan is terminated or contributions thereto have been completely discontinued, the rights of all participants to the amounts credited to their accounts shall be non-forfeitable and the interest of each participant in the funds will be distributed to such participant or his or her beneficiary in accordance with the Plan terms and ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, Plan participants will become fully vested in any funds allocated to them.

 

 

NOTE G - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Master Trust investments are shares of mutual funds managed by JPMorgan/American Century. JPMorgan Retirement Plan Services is the record keeper as defined by the Master Trust and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Also qualifying as party-in-interest transactions are transactions relating to participant loans and Navistar stock. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services are computed as a basis point reduction of the return earned on each investment option, and are included in the net earnings of the Master Trust.

 

 

NOTE H - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company failed to file on a timely basis its financial results for fiscal year 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because of the delay and until such results are filed, participants were not allowed to acquire additional shares of Navistar common stock through the 401(k) plans. However, participants were allowed to sell shares of Navistar common stock if they wish to do so. The Company intends to file its annual report (Form 10-K) as soon as possible, but cannot estimate a date at this time. The suspension of participants’ ability to purchase shares of Navistar common stock should have been effective March 1, 2006, but the restriction was not placed into effect until April 6, 2006. Accordingly, participants who may have purchased Navistar common stock during the period March 1 through April 6, 2006, have been notified by letter that there will be a rescission offer extended to them and that they are not required to take any action with respect to the Navistar common stock at this time. They will be notified by Navistar at the time it conducts its rescission offer.
