EXPLANATORY
NOTE
In
October 2006, Ford Motor Company (generally, "Ford," "we," "us" or "our")
reviewed our application of paragraph 68 of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
as
amended, and its use at our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ford Motor Credit
Company ("Ford Credit"). One of the general requirements of
SFAS No. 133 is that hedge accounting is appropriate only for those
hedging relationships that a company expects will be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the
risk being hedged. To determine whether transactions satisfy this requirement,
companies must periodically assess the effectiveness of hedging relationships
both prospectively and retrospectively. Paragraph 68 of
SFAS No. 133 ("Paragraph 68") contains an exception from these
periodic assessment requirements in the form of an "assumption of no
ineffectiveness" for certain hedges of interest rate risk that involve interest
rate swaps and recognized interest-bearing assets or liabilities. The exception
identifies the specific requirements for the derivative and hedged items that
must be met, such as a derivative fair value of zero at inception of the hedging
relationship, matching maturity dates, and contemporaneous formal
documentation.
Based
on
our review, we concluded that all of our interest rate swaps were and continue
to be highly effective economic hedges; nearly all of these transactions,
however, failed to meet the requirements set forth in Paragraph 68,
primarily because:
|
·
|
Transactions
that we designated as fair value hedges involved interest rate swaps
hedging the back-end of debt instruments or involved longer-than-normal
settlement periods.
|
|
·
|
We
paid or received fees when entering into a derivative contract or
upon
changing counterparties.
|
|
·
|
Interest
rate swaps included terms that did not exactly match the terms of
the
debt, including prepayment optionality.
|
Although
we now have determined that the hedging relationships at issue in this
restatement did not meet the specific criteria for an assumption of no
ineffectiveness pursuant to Paragraph 68, we are precluded by
SFAS No. 133 from retroactively performing full effectiveness testing
in order to apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, the restated results in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005
("2005 Form 10-K/A Report") reflect the changes in fair value of these
instruments as derivative gains and losses during the affected periods, without
recording any offsetting change in the value of the debt they were economically
hedging.
As
a
result, we have filed our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report restating certain financial
information therein including: historical balance sheets as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004; statements of income, cash flows and
stockholders’ equity for the years ending 2005, 2004, and 2003; and selected
financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004,
2003, 2002 and 2001.
1
Changes
in the fair value of interest rate swaps are driven primarily by changes in
interest rates. We have long-term interest rate swaps with large notional
balances, many of which are "receive-fixed, pay-float" interest rate swaps.
Such
swaps increase in value when interest rates decline, and decline in value when
interest rates rise. As a result, changes in interest rates cause substantial
volatility in the fair values that must be recognized in earnings. For 2001
and
2002, when interest rates were trending lower, we have recognized large
derivative gains in our restated financial data. The upward trend in interest
rates from 2003 through 2005 caused our interest rate swaps to decline in value,
resulting in the recognition of derivative losses for these periods.
See
Note
28 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report
for
additional information and amounts related to our restatement. In addition,
this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006
includes, in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, restated
consolidated and sector statements of income for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005, restated consolidated and sector
balance sheets as of December 31, 2005, and restated condensed
consolidated and sector statements of cash flows for the nine-month period
ended
September 30, 2005.
The
following table sets forth a reconciliation of previously reported and restated
net income/(loss) for the periods shown (in millions):

Subsequent
to the completion of our originally-filed financial statements for each period
being restated, we identified adjustments that should have been recorded
in
these earlier periods. Upon identification, we determined these
adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to our
originally-filed financial statements, and generally recognized these
adjustments ("out-of-period" adjustments) in the period in which they were
identified. Because the Ford Credit interest rate swap adjustment has
required a restatement, we also are reversing these out-of-period adjustments
and recording them in the proper periods.
We
do not
intend to amend previously-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for periods
ending prior to December 31, 2005. The reader should not rely on our
previously-filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
September 30, 2005, but should instead rely upon the updated financial
data provided for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 herein.

financial statements reflect those adjustments necessary for a fair statement
of
the results of operations and financial condition of Ford Motor Company and
its
consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs")
of which we are the primary beneficiary for the periods and at the dates
presented. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative
of
results for a full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-K/A Report"). For purposes of this
report, "Ford", the "Company", "we", "our", "us" or similar references mean
Ford
Motor Company and our consolidated subsidiaries and our consolidated VIEs of
which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires
otherwise.
NOTE
2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
In
October 2006, we reviewed our application of paragraph 68 of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
as
amended, and its use at our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ford Motor Credit
Company ("Ford Credit"). One of the general requirements of
SFAS No. 133 is that hedge accounting is appropriate only for those
hedging relationships that a company expects will be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the
risk being hedged. To determine whether transactions satisfy this requirement,
companies must periodically assess the effectiveness of hedging relationships
both prospectively and retrospectively. Paragraph 68 of
SFAS No. 133 ("Paragraph 68") contains an exception from these
periodic assessment requirements in the form of an "assumption of no
ineffectiveness" for certain hedges of interest rate risk that involve interest
rate swaps and recognized interest-bearing assets or liabilities. The exception
identifies the specific requirements for the derivative and hedged items that
must be met, such as a derivative fair value of zero at inception of the hedging
relationship, matching maturity dates, and contemporaneous formal
documentation.
Based
on
our review, we concluded that all of our interest rate swaps were and continue
to be highly effective economic hedges; nearly all of these transactions,
however, failed to meet the requirements set forth in Paragraph 68,
primarily because:
|
·
|
Transactions
that we designated as fair value hedges involved interest rate swaps
hedging the back-end of debt instruments or involved longer-than-normal
settlement periods.
|
|
·
|
We
paid or received fees when entering into a derivative contract or
upon
changing counterparties.
|
|
·
|
Interest
rate swaps included terms that did not exactly match the terms of
the
debt, including prepayment optionality.
|
Although
we now have determined that the hedging relationships at issue in this
restatement did not meet the specific criteria for an assumption of no
ineffectiveness pursuant to Paragraph 68, we are precluded by
SFAS No. 133 from retroactively performing full effectiveness testing
in order to apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, the restated results in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005
("2005 Form 10-K/A Report") reflect the changes in fair value of these
instruments as derivative gains and losses during the affected periods, without
recording any offsetting change in the value of the debt they were economically
hedging.
As
a
result, we have filed our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report restating certain financial
information therein including: historical balance sheets as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004; statements of income, cash flows and
stockholders’ equity for the years ending 2005, 2004, and 2003; and selected
financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004,
2003, 2002 and 2001.
9
Item
1. Financial Statements (Continued)
Changes
in the fair value of interest rate swaps are driven primarily by changes in
interest rates. We have long-term interest rate swaps with large notional
balances, many of which are "receive-fixed, pay-float" interest rate swaps.
Such
swaps increase in value when interest rates decline, and decline in value when
interest rates rise. As a result, changes in interest rates cause substantial
volatility in the fair values that must be recognized in earnings. For 2001
and
2002, when interest rates were trending lower, we have recognized large
derivative gains in our restated financial data. The upward trend in interest
rates from 2003 through 2005 caused our interest rate swaps to decline in value,
resulting in the recognition of derivative losses for these periods.
See
Note
28 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report
for
additional information and amounts related to our restatement. In addition,
this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006
includes, in Note 2, restated consolidated and sector statements of income
for
the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, restated
consolidated and sector balance sheets as of December 31, 2005, and
restated condensed consolidated and sector statements of cash flows for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005.
The
following table sets forth a reconciliation of previously reported and restated
net income/(loss) for the periods shown (in millions):

Subsequent
to the completion of our originally-filed financial statements for each period
being restated, we identified adjustments that should have been recorded
in
these earlier periods. Upon identification, we determined these
adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to our
originally-filed financial statements, and generally recognized these
adjustments ("out-of-period" adjustments) in the period in which they were
identified. Because the Ford Credit interest rate swap adjustment has
required a restatement, we also are reversing these out-of-period adjustments
and recording them in the proper periods.
We
do not
intend to amend previously-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for periods
ending prior to December 31, 2005. The reader should not rely on the
financial information in our previously-filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for
the period ended September 30, 2005, but should instead rely upon the
updated financial data provided for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 herein.
Presentation
of Cash Flows
Beginning
with our year ended December 31, 2005 statements of cash flows, we have revised
the presentation of cash flows to separately disclose the operating, investing,
and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to our discontinued
operations. This revision is in response to public statements by the staff
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") concerning classification of
discontinued operations within the statement of cash flows.

1. Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE
3. INCOME TAXES
For
the
first nine months of the year, we have used the actual effective tax rate for
the year-to-date tax provision calculation because a reliable estimate of the
full-year effective tax rate cannot be made. External business conditions and
other factors throughout the year may contribute to significant variability
of
the effective tax rate due to the impact of permanent differences relative
to
our financial results. Effective this quarter, the balance of deferred taxes
primarily at our Ford North America and Jaguar/Land Rover operations has changed
from a net deferred tax liability position to a net deferred tax asset position.
Due to the cumulative losses we have incurred at these operations and their
near-term financial outlook, we recorded a valuation allowance of $1.8 billion
against the net deferred tax asset in the third quarter of 2006. Detailed
valuation allowance testing was conducted for each legal entity and tax
jurisdiction in which these operations conduct business. The effective tax
rates
of 18.0% for the third quarter and 25.7% for the first nine months include
the
impact of this valuation allowance.
In
the
third quarter of 2006, we reflected the favorable effects related to the
settlement of prior-year federal and state tax matters of about $400 million
in
our Automotive
interest expense,
which
more than offsets the interest expense that we normally carry.

EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ACTIONS
General
The
timing for recording expenses related to employee separation actions differs
by
type of separation program: the cost of certain benefits for hourly employees
associated with facilities that are being idled through 2008 is being expensed
when it is probable the employees will be permanently idled; the cost of other
voluntary employee separation actions is being recorded as an expense at the
time an employee accepts a separation offer.
Jobs
Bank Benefits Reserve
On
January 23, 2006, we announced a major business improvement plan for our North
American Automotive operations, which we refer to as the Way Forward plan.
As
part of this plan, we announced that the following facilities will be idled
through 2008: St. Louis Assembly Plant, Atlanta Assembly Plant, Wixom Assembly
Plant, Batavia Transmission Plant, Windsor Casting Plant, Twin Cities Assembly
Plant, and Norfolk Assembly Plant. In addition, we announced that production
at
our St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Canada would be reduced to one shift.
Responding
to changing business circumstances, on September 15, 2006, Ford announced an
acceleration of this plan, pursuant to which two additional facilities would
be
idled through 2008: Maumee (Ohio) Stamping Plant and Essex (Ontario, Canada)
Engine Plant. We also announced that the Norfolk Assembly Plant would be idled
a
year earlier than planned, and that a shift reduction is now planned at Norfolk
and Twin Cities Assembly in advance of the idling of the facilities. In
addition, we announced that all Automotive Components Holdings, LLC ("ACH")
operations would be sold or closed by the end of 2008.
Hourly
employees working at the U.S. plants identified above are represented by the
International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement
Workers of America ("UAW"); hourly employees working at the Canadian plants
identified above are represented by the National Automobile, Aerospace,
Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada ("CAW"). The collective
bargaining agreement between us and the UAW contains
17
Item
1. Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE 5. EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES AND OTHER
ACTIONS
(Continued)
a
guaranteed employment numbers provision, pursuant to which we are required
to
pay idled employees who meet certain conditions substantially all of their
wages
and benefits for the term of the current agreement; the collective bargaining
agreement between us and the CAW contains provisions pursuant to which we are
required to pay idled employees a portion of their wages and certain benefits
for a specified period of time based on the number of credits an employee has
received. We refer to these benefits under the UAW and CAW agreements as "Jobs
Bank Benefits."
The
plant
idlings and shift reductions described above are expected to create a population
of hourly employees covered under the UAW and CAW collective bargaining
agreements who will be permanently idled because we do not have the ability
or
intent to redeploy or absorb them in our operations. The employee-related costs
associated with these actions have been expensed and include an amount for
Jobs
Bank Benefits expected to be provided in their present form under the current
UAW and CAW collective bargaining agreements, which are scheduled to expire
in
September 2007 and September 2008, respectively, and an amount for Jobs Bank
Benefits or similar benefits in an expected modified form under new collective
bargaining agreements after expiration of the current agreements. The
reserve balance is adjusted for Jobs Bank Benefits payments made to employees.
In addition, the reserve is adjusted when we offer voluntary separation and/or
relocation packages to employees which are accepted and whose cost can be
reasonably estimated. Approximately 5,700 (of the approximately 25,000 affected
employees at the announced Ford plants and ACH) have accepted voluntary
separation packages or have agreed to relocate to other facilities as of
September 30, 2006.
The
reserve balance at September 30, 2006 was $2.0 billion, and represents our
best estimate of the liability for approximately 17,200 UAW-represented
employees (including ACH) and 2,200 CAW-represented employees remaining at
the
facilities identified above, considering several factors: the demographics
of
the population at each affected facility, redeployment alternatives, recent
experience relative to voluntary redeployments, and recent experience with
regard to the rate of voluntary separations. However, because of the
complexities inherent in estimating this reserve, our actual costs could differ
materially. Accordingly, we will continue to review our expected liability
and
make adjustments as necessary. We continue to expense costs as incurred
associated with the small number of employees who are temporarily
idled.
With
respect to the remaining manufacturing facilities included in our Way Forward
plan announcement, we have not accrued any costs for benefits that may be
provided to employees working at facilities to be idled after 2008. The cost
of
executing the plans for these facilities is dependent on the resolution of
many
contingencies, including the negotiation of future labor agreements, the
successful implementation of our product cycle plan, the resolution of
alternative capacity actions, and changes in our market share between now and
the planned idling of those facilities. Our present estimate for benefits that
we anticipate may be paid to employees expected to be permanently idled at
the
remaining manufacturing facilities as part of our accelerated Way Forward plan
is a charge of up to $750 million (on a discounted basis). Although it is
probable that we will take the necessary actions to reduce our manufacturing
employment, the amount of our estimated benefit obligation is highly dependent
on the resolution of the previously-mentioned contingencies. No estimated value
is more likely than another, and therefore, the benefit obligation is not
reasonably estimable.
Other
Actions
UAW
Voluntary Separations: During the first nine months of 2006, we reduced our
hourly workforce in U.S. plants other than those identified above by
approximately 3,500 employees and recognized a $200 million pre-tax charge
related to these separations. During the third quarter, we announced that we
will offer early retirement and voluntary separation programs to all Ford and
ACH hourly employees in the United States as part of our accelerated Way Forward
plan. These programs will be offered in the fourth quarter of 2006. Hourly
employees who accept an early retirement or separation offer are expected to
leave the company by September 2007.
Other
Employee Separation Actions:
We also
announced during the third quarter of 2006 our plans to reduce the North
American salaried-related costs through the elimination of the equivalent of
about 14,000 positions (which includes the equivalent of 4,000 positions already
eliminated in the first quarter of 2006). Most salaried reductions are expected
to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2007, and will be achieved
through early retirements, voluntary separations, and if necessary, involuntary
separations. Most of these costs will be incurred in the fourth quarter of
2006
and the first quarter of 2007, as employees accept these offers.
During
the third quarter of 2005, Premier Automotive Group ("PAG") and Ford Europe
initiated hourly and salaried employee separation actions resulting in pre-tax
charges of $117 million and $26 million in the first nine months of 2006 and
2005, respectively.

During
2006, inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in a liquidation of LIFO
inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as
compared with the cost of 2006 purchases, the effect of which decreased cost
of
goods sold by approximately $4 million.
NOTE
7. NET PROPERTY
Beginning
January 1, 2006, we changed our method of amortization for special tools from
an
activity-based method (units-of-production) to a time-based method. The
time-based method amortizes the cost of special tools over their expected useful
lives using a straight-line method or, if the production volumes for major
product programs associated with the tool are expected to materially decline
over the life of the tool, an accelerated method reflecting the rate of decline.
For the third quarter of 2006, this change increased Cost
of sales
by $1
million, and decreased Income/(loss)
from continuing operations
and
Net
income by
$1
million, with no impact on earnings per
share. For the first nine months of 2006, the change decreased Cost
of sales
by $133
million, and increased Income/(loss)
from continuing operations and
Net
income
by $133
million or $0.07 per diluted share.
NOTE
8. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Based
on
the assumptions underlying our accelerated Way Forward plan, we project a
decline in net cash flows for the Ford North America segment, primarily
reflecting lower market share assumptions, lower production, and other aspects
of our accelerated plan. As a result, in the third quarter of 2006 we tested
the
long-lived assets of this segment for recoverability and recorded a pre-tax
impairment charge of $2.2 billion in Cost
of sales,
representing the amount by which the carrying value of these assets exceeded
the
fair value.
During
the third quarter of 2006, we also reviewed our business plan for the
Jaguar/Land Rover operating unit within our PAG segment and, consistent with
2006 operating results, are projecting lower sales, a decline in net cash flows
for this operating unit based on cost performance shortfalls and currency
exchange deterioration. As a result, we tested the long-lived assets of this
operating unit for recoverability and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge
of
$1.6 billion in Cost
of sales,
representing the amount by which the carrying value of these assets exceeded
the
fair value.
The
fair
value of the asset groups were measured using the discounted cash flow
projections approved by our Board of Directors. We also compared various market
multiples (e.g., revenue and EBITDA) within the same industry as useful
comparative data points.
NOTE
9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Beginning
in 2006, our policy is to perform annual testing of goodwill and certain other
intangible assets during the fourth quarter to determine whether any impairment
has occurred. Testing is conducted at the reporting unit level. Testing is
also
performed following a triggering event for the long-lived asset impairment
test.
As a result of the impairment of Ford North America and Jaguar/Land Rover
operating units, we tested goodwill at our Ford North America and PAG reporting
units. No goodwill impairment was necessary.
19
Item
1. Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE
9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (Continued)
To
test
for impairment, the carrying value of each reporting unit is compared with
its
fair value. Fair value is estimated using the present value of free cash flows
method. Prior to 2006, our policy was to test in the second quarter; in 2005,
we
tested in both the second and fourth quarters. Fourth quarter testing is
considered preferable because it allows us to use more current financial
information and matches our business plan timing. This change in accounting
principle does not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge or affect
our
financial statements.

The
intangibles account is comprised of a non-amortizable tradename, distribution
networks with a useful life of 40 years and other intangibles with various
amortization periods (primarily patents, customer contracts, technology, and
land rights). Pre-tax
amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the first nine
months of 2006 and 2005 was $19 million and $41 million,
respectively. Intangible asset amortization is forecasted to range from
$20 million to $30 million per year for the next five years, excluding
the impact of foreign currency translation.
NOTE
10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We
consolidate VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. The liabilities
recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional
claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific
assets of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result
of
consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used
to satisfy claims against our general assets. Reflected in our
September 30, 2006 balance sheet are consolidated VIE assets of $5.3
billion for the Automotive sector and $55.7 billion for the Financial
Services sector. Included in Automotive consolidated VIE assets are $382 million
of cash and cash equivalents. For the Financial Services sector, consolidated
VIE assets include $6.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and
$49 billion of finance receivables.

NOTE
10. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
(Continued)
We
have
several investments in other entities determined to be VIEs of which we are
not
the primary beneficiary. The risks and rewards associated with our interests
in
these entities are based primarily on ownership percentages. Our maximum
exposure is $285 million for the Automotive sector and $196 million
for the Financial Services sector at September 30, 2006. Any potential
losses associated with these VIEs, should they occur, is limited to the value
of
our invested capital or equity rights and, where applicable, receivables due
from the VIEs.
Ford
Credit also sells finance receivables to bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial
paper issuers that are special purpose entities ("SPEs") of the sponsor bank;
these SPEs are not consolidated by us. The outstanding balance of finance
receivables that have been sold by Ford Credit to these SPEs was approximately
$4.6 billion at September 30, 2006.
NOTE
11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All
derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives, are recorded at fair
market value on our balance sheet.
Income
Statement Impact: The
ineffective portion of designated hedges and mark-to-market adjustments for
non-designated hedging activity are recognized in Cost
of sales or
Interest income and other
non-operating income/(expense), net
for the
Automotive sector and in Revenues
for
the
Financial Services sector.
Fair
Value of Derivative Instruments: The
fair
value of derivatives reflects the price that a third party would be willing
to
pay or receive in arm’s-length transactions for these derivatives, and includes
mark-to-market adjustments to reflect the effects of changes in the related
index. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our derivative

In
the
first half of 2006, we recorded a $903 million pension curtailment loss
associated with employees to be permanently idled at announced facilities as
well as with additional employee separations related to the Way Forward plan.
In
the third quarter of 2006, we recorded an additional $437 million pension
curtailment loss associated with employee actions to be taken under our
accelerated Way Forward plan.
The
weighted average discount rate assumption used at September 30, 2006
to determine the U.S. pension obligation was 5.88%.
At
September 30, 2006, our retiree Voluntary Employee Benefit Association trust
("VEBA") contained $5.1 billion of assets. This retiree VEBA balance reflects
our transfer during the third quarter of $1.3 billion from our retiree VEBA
to Automotive cash as reimbursement for hourly retiree health care and life
insurance payments. Of the $5.1 billion of assets in our retiree VEBA,
$1.8 billion was invested on a long-term basis consistent with our pension
asset investments at September 30, 2006. The expected return assumption
applicable to these assets invested consistent with our pension asset
investments was 8.5% at September 30, 2006.
At
September 30, 2006, we had $3.3 billion invested in shorter-duration fixed
income investments, for which the expected return assumption was 5.5%. Of this
$3.3 billion invested in shorter-duration fixed income investments,
$1.7 billion was able to be used within the next 18 months to pay for
retiree benefits ("short-term VEBA"). Our current strategy is to invest all
of
the assets of our retiree VEBA in shorter-duration fixed income investments,
a
move we plan to complete during the fourth quarter. Consistent with our standard
practice, we will continue to include in Automotive gross cash our short-term
VEBA. We refer to retiree VEBA assets that are not able to be used within the
next 18 months to pay for retiree benefits as "long-term VEBA."

Company
Contributions
Our
policy for funded plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts
required by applicable laws, regulations, and union agreements. From time to
time, we make contributions beyond those legally required.
Pension:
In
the
first nine months of 2006, we contributed $900 million to our worldwide
pension plans, including benefit payments paid directly by the Company for
unfunded plans. We expect to contribute from Automotive cash and cash
equivalents an additional $500 million in 2006, for a total of
$1.4 billion this year. Based on current assumptions and regulations, we do
not expect to have a legal requirement to fund our major U.S. pension plans
in
2006.
UAW
Agreement
As
previously reported, we entered into an agreement with the UAW ("Agreement")
in
December 2005 to increase retiree health care cost sharing as part of our
overall cost reduction efforts. Our decision to modify the retiree health care
plan was challenged in court, so that implementation of the Agreement required
court approval of a proposed settlement of the legal challenge. On July 13,
2006, we received the necessary court approval and cost savings began to accrue
as of that date. The Agreement provides for increased cost sharing of health
care expenses by retirees presently covered under the
Hospital-Surgical-Medical-Drug-Dental-Vision Program ("H-S-M-D-D-V Program")
("Plan Amendment") and establishes an independent Defined Contribution Retiree
Health Benefit Trust ("UAW Benefit Trust") which will serve as a non-Ford
sponsored Voluntary Employee Benefit Association. The UAW Benefit Trust will
be
used to mitigate the reduction in health plan benefits for certain eligible
present and future retirees, surviving spouses and other dependents. This
settlement agreement will remain in effect until September 14, 2011, at which
point either Ford or the UAW may provide notice of a desire to terminate the
Agreement.
The
Agreement provisions reduce significantly our share of health care costs. The
Agreement has been accounted for as a negative amendment to the H-S-M-D-D-V
Program in the amount of $4 billion, net of $90 million representing the present
value of our commitment to fund the UAW Benefit Trust discounted at 6.5%. We
will amortize the negative plan amendment on a straight-line basis over 12
years
(which represents the average remaining service period of our active workforce).
In addition we will accrete interest expense on the discounted value of the
funding commitment noted above. The interest expense recorded for the third
quarter was $1 million.
As
part
of the Agreement, we committed to make three non-contingent cash payments
("buy-down") to the UAW Benefit Trust totaling $108 million. We
transferred the first installment of $30 million in cash to the UAW Benefit
Trust on August 10, 2006. We have also committed to make a second
contribution of $35 million in 2009, and a third contribution of
$43 million in 2011.
The
UAW
Benefit Trust is controlled by the UAW Benefit Association Plan Committee
("Committee") which is appointed by the UAW. The Committee does not and will
not
include any representatives of the Company. The Committee has the right to
appoint an independent trustee ("Trustee") for purposes of managing the assets.
The assets of the UAW Benefit Trust are the responsibility of the Committee,
which has full fiduciary responsibility for the investment strategy,
safeguarding of assets, and execution of the benefit plan as designed. Benefit
payments to eligible participants in the UAW Benefit Trust are limited in amount
to the assets held by the UAW Benefit Trust. Each year, the Committee will
determine the level of benefits to be paid to eligible participants. If the
value of the assets in the UAW Benefit Trust is deemed insufficient by the
Trustee, the Trustee may accelerate our obligation for the second and third
contribution to the extent necessary to enable the UAW Benefit Trust to continue
paying benefits.
As
part
of the Agreement, we also agreed to transfer to the UAW Benefit Trust the right
to an amount of cash determined by the appreciation of 8.75 million shares
of
Ford Common Stock above $8.145 per share. These stock appreciation rights are
exercisable for three years from the effective date of the Plan Amendment.
One
third of the 8.75 million stock appreciation rights were granted on
July 13, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, these stock
appreciation rights had not been exercised. On the first anniversary of the
effective date of the Agreement, another third of the 8.75 million stock
appreciation rights will become available and on the second anniversary, the
remaining stock appreciation rights will become available. We use a
Black-Scholes model to measure the fair value of the stock appreciation rights
on a graded vesting schedule. We expensed $8 million related to the stock
appreciation rights in the third quarter, recorded in Automotive
cost of sales.
As
part
of the Agreement, UAW members also agreed to divert to the UAW Benefit Trust
payments of a previously-negotiated 2006 wage increase and a portion of
negotiated cost-of-living increases through 2011 as they are earned. In the
third quarter, $4 million of diverted wage increases were
expensed.

NOTE
14. RETIREMENT BENEFITS (Continued)
The
average annual cost savings to Ford from the plan amendment is projected to
be
$650 million, with projected average annual cash savings of $200 million.
The cost savings associated with the amendment for 2006 is approximately
$300 million. The agreement with the UAW constitutes a significant plan
amendment. Accordingly, we remeasured the hourly H-S-M-D-D-V Program liability
as of July 13, 2006. The Plan Amendment, together with the plan
remeasurement reflecting a higher discount rate and recent health care claims
experience, reduced our OPEB obligation by approximately
$9 billion.
The
weighted average discount rate assumption at July 13, 2006
was 6.23%. The weighted average initial health care cost trend rate was 6%
for
the 2006 calendar year.
NOTE
15. GUARANTEES
The
fair
values of guarantees and indemnifications during 2006 and 2005 are recorded
in
the financial statements and are de
minimis.
At
September 30, 2006, the following guarantees were issued and
outstanding:
Guarantees
related to affiliates and third parties:
We
guarantee debt and lease obligations of certain joint ventures, as well as
certain financial obligations of outside third parties to support business
and
economic growth. Expiration dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment
and/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by
failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the
guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from the third
party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce
these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full,
and
may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other
circumstances. The maximum potential payments under these guarantees total
$107 million.
On
December 21, 2005, we completed the sale of The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz").
As
part of this transaction, we provided cash-collateralized letters of credit
in
an aggregate amount of $200 million to support the asset-backed portion of
the buyer's financing for the transaction. As of September 30, 2006,
the carrying value of our deferred gain related to the letters of credit was
$24 million, which represents the estimated fair value of our guarantee.
For further discussion of these letters of credit, see Note 27 of the Notes
to
the Financial Statements in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report.
In
1996,
we issued $500 million of 7.25% Notes due October 1, 2008. In
1999, we entered into a de-recognition transaction to defease our obligation
as
primary obligor with respect to the principal of these notes. As part of this
transaction, we placed certain financial assets into an escrow trust for the
benefit of the noteholders, and the trust became the primary obligor with
respect to the principal (we became secondarily liable for the entire principal
amount).
We
also
have guarantees outstanding associated with a subsidiary trust, Ford Motor
Company Capital Trust II ("Trust II"). For further discussion of Trust II,
see
Notes 16 and 18 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2005
Form 10-K/A Report.
No
losses
have been recorded for these guarantees.
Indemnifications:
We
regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with
indemnifications contained in contracts to which we are a party, and have
accrued for expected losses that are probable and for which a loss can be
estimated. During the third quarter of 2006, there were no significant changes
to our indemnifications.

NOTE
16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We
review
and present our business results in two sectors: Automotive and Financial
Services. Within these sectors, our business is divided into reportable segments
based upon the organizational structure that we use to evaluate performance
and
make decisions on resource allocation, as well as availability and materiality
of separate financial results consistent with that structure.
Beginning
with the
second quarter of 2006, we changed the reporting of our Automotive sector to
separately disclose the following segments: Ford North America, Ford South
America, Ford Europe, PAG, and Ford Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda. Automotive
sector prior-period information has been reclassified and is provided for these
segments in the tables below.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Ford
Motor Company:
We
have
reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Ford
Motor Company and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006, and the
related consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and
nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and
the
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
The
accompanying sector balance sheets and the related sector statements of income
and of cash flows are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not
a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been
subjected to the review procedures applied in the review of the basic financial
statements.
We
conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based
on
our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made
to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for
them to
be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America.
As
discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Company has
restated its consolidated financial statements and sector financial information
for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005.
We
have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
income, of cash flows, and of stockholders’ equity for the year then ended
(not presented herein), and in our report dated March 1, 2006, except
for the effect of the restatement described in Note 28 of the Notes to the
Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
year
ended December 31, 2005 ("2005 Form 10-K/A Report"), as to which the date
is November 14, 2006, appearing in Item 8 in the Company’s 2005
Form 10-K/A Report, we expressed an unqualified opinion thereon (with an
explanatory paragraph relating to the restatement of the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

OVERVIEW
ACCELERATION
OF THE WAY FORWARD PLAN
On
January 23, 2006, we announced a major business improvement plan for our North
American Automotive operations, which we refer to as the Way Forward plan.
Key
aspects of that plan are set forth in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report. On September
15, 2006, responding to changing facts and circumstances, Ford announced an
acceleration of this plan, including actions designed to further reduce
operating costs and increase the flow of new products, and issued a revised
financial outlook.
Cost
Reductions
Personnel
reductions
Acceleration
of the Way Forward plan includes additional reductions of our capacity and
workforce to contribute to our goal of reducing annual operating costs by about
$5 billion by the end of 2008 as compared with 2005. Our accelerated plan
reduces salaried-related costs through the elimination of the equivalent of
about 14,000 salaried-related positions, which represents about one-third of
our
North American salaried workforce. This reduction includes our elimination
of
the equivalent of 4,000 salaried positions in the first quarter of 2006; the
additional reductions will be achieved through early retirements, voluntary
separations and, if necessary, involuntary separations, with most reductions
expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2007.
By
agreement with the UAW, we also are extending early retirement or separation
packages to all U.S. hourly employees, including Ford employees at our ACH
plants. Hourly employees who accept an early retirement or separation offer
are
expected to separate from the Company no later than September 2007.
With
these actions, we plan to accelerate by four years our goal of reducing our
total employment by 25,000 to 30,000 North American hourly employees (excluding
ACH), so that these reductions will be completed by the end of 2008. The
accelerated plan to sell or close all ACH facilities by the end of 2008 will
result in additional personnel reductions.
Capacity
alignment
As
originally announced, our overall goal is to reduce North American manufacturing
capacity to approximately 3.6 million units by the end of 2008, down 26
percent versus year-end 2005. As part of this reduction, we have announced
that
nine facilities will be idled and cease production by the end of 2008; we have
idled two of these facilities already (St. Louis Assembly Plant in the first
quarter and Atlanta Assembly Plant in October of 2006).
The
list
of additional facilities to be idled by the end of 2008 includes (in
alphabetical order): Batavia Transmission Plant (to be idled in 2008); Essex
Engine Plant (to cease operations in 2007); Maumee Stamping Plant (to be idled
in 2008); Norfolk Assembly Plant (to be idled in 2007, with an initial shift
reduction planned for January 2007); Twin Cities Assembly Plant (to be idled
in
2008, with an initial shift reduction planned in January 2007); Windsor Casting
Plant (to be idled in 2007); and Wixom Assembly Plant (to be idled in 2007).
At
the same time, Dearborn Truck Plant will add a third shift beginning in 2007
to
accommodate additional F-150 truck production.
Overall,
we have announced plans to cease production at 16 North American manufacturing
facilities, including seven assembly plants, by the end of 2012. Additionally,
we plan to sell or close all ACH facilities by the end of 2008.
Product
Actions
As
part
of our acceleration of the Way Forward plan, we have announced that 70 percent
of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury products (by volume) will be new or significantly
upgraded by the end of 2008; these efforts will include the expansion of our
product lineup in growth segments such as crossover vehicles. In the next few
months, we will be introducing the all-new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossover
vehicles, and new models of our segment-leading Ford Super Duty trucks, Lincoln
MKZ sedan, and Mercury Mariner compact sport utility vehicle and hybrid. We
continue to invest in new gasoline, flexible-fuel, diesel, hydrogen, and hybrid
powertrains, as well as fuel-saving six-speed transmission technology.

Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
Financial
Impact
Even
as
we accelerate our Way Forward plan, current circumstances suggest that we will
not reach full-year profitability in our North American Automotive operations
before 2009. We anticipate that our Ford, Lincoln and Mercury market share
in
the United States will be in the low-16 percent range at the end of 2006, with
a
further decline expected as production of the Ford Taurus sedan and Mercury
Monterey minivan ends in 2006 and production of the Ford Freestar minivan ends
in 2007; ending production of these vehicles will further reduce our sales
to
daily rental fleets, consistent with our previously-announced goal to reduce
our
exposure to this segment of the market, and will consequently reduce our overall
market share. With our planned investment in new products and expected
improvements in quality, we anticipate U.S. market share to stabilize in the
14 percent to 15 percent range going forward, with a focus on
profitable retail share. Further discussion of our outlook for 2006 full-year
performance against our financial milestones (including costs associated with
the accelerated Way Forward plan, profitability by operation, and liquidity
measures) is set forth in the "Outlook" section of
"Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
RESTATEMENT
In
October 2006, we reviewed our application of Paragraph 68 of SFAS No.
133, and
its
use at our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ford Credit. One of the general
requirements of SFAS No. 133 is that hedge accounting is appropriate
only for those hedging relationships that a company expects will be highly
effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows
attributable to the risk being hedged. To determine whether transactions satisfy
this requirement, companies must periodically assess the effectiveness of
hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. Paragraph 68
of SFAS No. 133 contains an exception from these periodic assessment
requirements in the form of an "assumption of no ineffectiveness" for certain
hedges of interest rate risk that involve interest rate swaps and recognized
interest-bearing assets or liabilities. The exception identifies the specific
requirements for the derivative and hedged items that must be met, such as
a
derivative fair value of zero at inception of the hedging relationship, matching
maturity dates, and contemporaneous formal documentation.
Based
on
our review, we concluded that all of our interest rate swaps were and continue
to be highly effective economic hedges; nearly all of these transactions,
however, failed to meet the requirements set forth in Paragraph 68,
primarily because:
|
·
|
Transactions
that we designated as fair value hedges involved interest rate swaps
hedging the back-end of debt instruments or involved longer-than-normal
settlement periods.
|
|
·
|
We
paid or received fees when entering into a derivative contract or
upon
changing counterparties.
|
|
·
|
Interest
rate swaps included terms that did not exactly match the terms of
the
debt, including prepayment optionality.
|
Although
we now have determined that the hedging relationships at issue in this
restatement did not meet the specific criteria for an assumption of no
ineffectiveness pursuant to Paragraph 68, we are precluded by
SFAS No. 133 from retroactively performing full effectiveness testing
in order to apply hedge accounting. Accordingly, the restated results in our
2005 Form 10-K/A Report reflect the changes in fair value of these instruments
as derivative gains and losses during the affected periods, without recording
any offsetting change in the value of the debt they were economically hedging.
As
a
result, we have filed our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report restating certain financial
information therein including: historical balance sheets as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004; statements of income, cash flows and
stockholders’ equity for the years ending 2005, 2004, and 2003; and selected
financial data as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004,
2003, 2002 and 2001.
31
Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
Changes
in the fair value of interest rate swaps are driven primarily by changes in
interest rates. We have long-term interest rate swaps with large notional
balances, many of which are "receive-fixed, pay-float" interest rate swaps.
Such
swaps increase in value when interest rates decline, and decline in value when
interest rates rise. As a result, changes in interest rates cause substantial
volatility in the fair values that must be recognized in earnings. For 2001
and
2002, when interest rates were trending lower, we have recognized large
derivative gains in our restated financial data. The upward trend in interest
rates from 2003 through 2005 caused our interest rate swaps to decline in value,
resulting in the recognition of derivative losses for these periods.
See
Note
28 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report
for
additional information and amounts related to our restatement. In addition,
this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006
includes, in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, restated
consolidated and sector statements of income for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2005, restated consolidated and sector
balance sheets as of December 31, 2005, and restated condensed
consolidated and sector statements of cash flows for the nine-month period
ended
September 30, 2005.
Subsequent
to the completion of our originally-filed financial statements for each period
being restated, we identified adjustments that should have been recorded
in
these earlier periods. Upon identification, we determined these
adjustments to be immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to our
originally-filed financial statements, and generally recognized these
adjustments in the period in which they were identified. Because the Ford
Credit interest rate swap adjustment has required a restatement, we also
are
reversing these out-of-period adjustments and recording them in the proper
periods.
THIRD
QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our
worldwide net loss was $5.2 billion or $2.79 per share of Common and
Class B stock in the third quarter of 2006, down from a loss of
$576 million or $0.31 per share in the third quarter of 2005.

Overall
Automotive Sector
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected impairment charges related to our
long-lived assets in Ford North America (about $2.2 billion) and
Jaguar/Land Rover operations (about $1.6 billion), unfavorable volume and
mix (mainly lower market share and lower industry volume in the United States)
(about $1.0 billion), Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary termination charges
(about $900 million), pension curtailment charges (about
$400 million), and unfavorable net pricing (about $400 million). These
adverse factors were offset partially by higher net interest income - including
settlements of prior-year federal and state tax matters, favorable tax-related
interest on refund claims, and higher returns on our cash portfolio (about
$800 million) - and favorable cost changes (about $400 million). See
"First Nine Months Results of Operations - Automotive Sector" for a discussion
of cost changes.
The
decline in revenues primarily reflected lower volumes, unfavorable product
mix,
and unfavorable net pricing in Ford North America. These factors were offset
partially by favorable changes in currency exchange rates.
The
Americas Operations
Ford
North America Segment.
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected the impairment charges related to
long-lived assets, unfavorable volume and mix (mainly lower market share and
lower industry volume in the United States), Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary
termination charges, unfavorable net pricing, and pension curtailment charges,
offset partially by favorable cost changes. The favorable cost changes reflected
improvements in warranty-related costs and pension and OPEB costs.
Ford
South America Segment.
The
increase in earnings primarily reflected a legal settlement relating to a social
welfare tax liability, higher industry volume, and favorable net pricing.
International
Operations
Ford
Europe Segment.
The
improvement in earnings primarily reflected favorable volume and mix, offset
partially by higher pension costs, and lower profits from operations in Turkey.
35
Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
PAG
Segment.
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected impairment charges related to long-lived
assets at our Jaguar/Land Rover operations, adjustments to warranty accruals
for
prior model-year vehicles (mainly at Jaguar and Land Rover), and lower volumes
at all operations except Aston Martin, offset partially by favorable product
and
market mix at Jaguar and Volvo.
Ford
Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda Segment.
The
decline in results for Ford Asia Pacific and Africa primarily reflected lower
production in Taiwan and Australia, adverse product mix, and unfavorable net
pricing, offset partially by favorable cost changes (mainly improvements in
manufacturing and engineering costs). Vehicle unit sales for the period
increased while revenue for the same period declined. The increase in vehicle
unit sales is explained by higher unit sales in China and India, offset
partially by declines in Taiwan and Australia. Our revenue excludes vehicle
unit
sales at our unconsolidated affiliates, primarily those in China. The decrease
in revenue primarily reflects lower volumes outside of China and changes in
currency exchange rates.
The
decrease in earnings for Mazda and Associated Operations primarily reflected
the
non-recurrence of gains on our investment in Mazda convertible bonds. During
the
second half of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, we converted to equity all
of
our Mazda convertible bonds, and, therefore, will no longer have income effects
from the mark-to-market adjustments for these bonds.
Other
Automotive
The
improvement in results primarily reflected the favorable effects on interest
expense of settlements of prior-year federal and state tax matters,
favorable tax-related interest on refund claims, and higher returns on our
cash
portfolio, offset partially by the non-recurrence of a gain from the sale of
our
remaining interest in Kwik-Fit Group Limited.

non-designated derivatives and improved operating expenses. The increase was
offset partially by higher borrowing costs, higher depreciation expense, and

At
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, about $52.0 billion and
$44.7
billion, respectively, of finance receivables have been sold for
legal
purposes in securitization transactions that do not satisfy the
requirements for accounting sale treatment. In addition, at September
30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, interests in operating leases and the
related
vehicles of $12.5 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively,
have been transferred for legal purposes and are held for the benefit
of
consolidated securitization SPEs. These receivables and interests
in
operating leases and the related vehicles are available only for
repayment
of debt or other obligations issued or arising in the securitization
transactions and to pay other transaction participants; they are
not
available to pay Ford Credit's other obligations or the claims of
Ford
Credit's other creditors.
|
Managed
receivables decreased from year-end 2005 primarily reflecting lower wholesale
receivable levels, offset partially by increased investments in operating
leases. At year-end 2006, Ford Credit anticipates managed receivables to be
in
the range of $145 billion
to $150 billion.
The year-end receivables forecast is up slightly from prior expectations due
to
our third quarter marketing programs that emphasized retail financing incentives
through Ford Credit.
The
following table shows worldwide credit losses net of recoveries, which are
referred to as charge-offs, and loss-to-receivables ratios, which equal
charge-offs for the period on an annualized basis divided by the average amount
of receivables outstanding for the period, for the third quarter of 2006 and
2005:

The
improvements primarily reflected a higher quality retail installment and lease
portfolio and enhancements to Ford Credit's collection practices. Lower average
levels of retail installment receivables in our managed portfolio also
contributed to reduced charge-offs.
Shown
below is Ford Credit's allowance for credit losses related to finance
receivables and operating leases for the periods specified. Consistent with
its
normal practices and policies, Ford Credit assesses the adequacy of its
allowance for credit losses quarterly and regularly evaluates the assumptions
and models used in establishing the allowance. During the third quarter, Ford
Credit updated its analysis of contract liquidation data which affected the
level of required reserves for credit losses as of September 30, 2006. In
addition, Ford Credit implemented refinements to certain modeling techniques
that are used in determining the allowance for credit losses. The combined
effect of the two changes decreased the allowance for credit losses by
$66 million
at September 30, 2006.

sales
of all Ford-badged units and units manufactured by Ford and sold
to other
manufacturers, as well as units distributed for other manufacturers.
Vehicles sold to daily rental car companies that are returned to
us
pursuant to a guaranteed repurchase option and vehicles used in our
own
fleet (including management evaluation vehicles) are included in
vehicle
unit sales at the time they are disposed of by us through used car
channels.

Included
in vehicle unit sales of Ford Asia Pacific and Africa are Ford-badged
vehicles sold in China and Malaysia by certain unconsolidated affiliates
totaling about 110,000 and 54,000 units in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
"Sales" above does not include revenue from these
units.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
Overall
Automotive Sector
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary
termination charges (about $2.5 billion), impairment charges related to our
long-lived assets in Ford North America ($2.2 billion) and Jaguar/Land
Rover operations ($1.6 billion), unfavorable volume and mix - mainly lower
market share, lower industry volumes, and adverse product mix in North America
(about $1.5 billion), pension curtailment charges (about
$1.3 billion), unfavorable net pricing (about $1.0 billion), unfavorable
currency exchange primarily due to the expiration of favorable hedges (about
$500 million), and costs of U.S. plant idlings - primarily fixed-asset
write-offs (about $300 million). These adverse factors were offset
partially by favorable cost changes (about $1.1 billion) and the
non-recurrence of Visteon-related charges - mainly valuation allowance against
employee-related receivables (about $500 million).
The
decline in revenues primarily reflected lower vehicle unit sales volume in
North
America, unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates for International
Operations, unfavorable product mix, and unfavorable net pricing.

exchange, excluding special items and discontinued operations

The
Americas Operations
Ford
North America Segment.
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary
termination charges, impairment charges related to our long-lived assets,
unfavorable volume and mix (mainly lower market share and adverse product mix
in
the United States), pension curtailment charges, unfavorable net pricing, and
costs of U.S. plant idlings (primarily fixed-asset write-offs), offset partially
by favorable cost changes. The favorable cost changes reflected improvements
in
manufacturing and engineering costs, pension and OPEB costs, net product costs,
and overhead costs.
Ford
South America Segment.
The
increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable net pricing, higher vehicle
unit sales reflecting higher industry sales volume, and a legal settlement
relating to a social welfare tax liability, offset partially by unfavorable
cost
changes. The unfavorable cost changes primarily reflected unfavorable net
product costs and manufacturing and engineering costs.
International
Operations
Ford
Europe Segment.
The
increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable cost changes and favorable
volume and mix, offset partially by lower profits from operations in Turkey,
unfavorable net pricing and unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.
The
favorable cost changes primarily reflected lower net product costs and overhead
costs, offset partially by higher pension costs.

PAG
Segment.
The
decline in earnings primarily reflected impairment charges related to long-lived
assets at our Jaguar/Land Rover operations, unfavorable currency exchange
related to the expiration of favorable hedges, and unfavorable cost changes.
The
unfavorable cost changes primarily reflected adjustments to warranty accruals
for prior model-year vehicles (mainly at Land Rover and Jaguar), offset
partially by improvements in depreciation and amortization, overhead costs,
and
net product costs.
Ford
Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda Segment.
The
decline in results for Ford Asia Pacific and Africa primarily reflected lower
production including lower industry volumes in Taiwan, adverse product mix
including lower large car sales in Australia, unfavorable changes in currency
exchange rates, and unfavorable net pricing, offset partially by favorable
cost
changes, including a grant from the Australian government for
previously-incurred expenses. Vehicle unit sales for the period increased while
revenue for the same period declined. The increase in vehicle unit sales is
explained by higher unit sales in China and India, offset partially by declines
in Taiwan. Our revenue excludes vehicle unit sales at our unconsolidated
affiliates, primarily those in China. The decrease in revenue primarily reflects
changes in currency exchange rates and a higher mix of small cars relative
to
the same period last year.
The
increase in earnings for Mazda and Associated Operations primarily reflected
our
share of a gain Mazda realized on the transfer of its pension liabilities back
to the Japanese government, offset partially by the non-recurrence of gains
on
our investment in Mazda convertible bonds. During the second half of 2005 and
the first quarter of 2006, we converted to equity all of our Mazda convertible
bonds, and, therefore, will no longer have income effects from the
mark-to-market adjustments for these bonds.
Other
Automotive
The
increase in earnings primarily reflected higher
returns on invested cash and lower interest expense, offset partially
by
non-recurrence of
a gain
from the sale of our remaining interest in Kwik-Fit Group Limited.

Ford
Credit
The
decrease in earnings primarily reflected higher borrowing costs, the impact
of
lower average receivables in Ford Credit's managed portfolio, and higher
depreciation expense. The decrease was offset partially by market valuations
primarily related to non-designated derivatives and improved operating
expenses.

The
improvements in charge-offs and loss-to-receivables ratios for the on-balance
sheet and managed portfolios primarily reflected a higher quality retail
installment and lease portfolio and enhancements to Ford Credit's collection
practices. Lower average levels of retail installment receivables in our managed
portfolio also contributed to reduced charge-offs.
Other
Financial Services
The
improvement in results primarily reflected the non-recurrence of the write-off
of aircraft leases related to the bankruptcy of Delta Air Lines and the
non-recurrence of a loss on a property sale.

In
managing our business, we classify changes in Automotive gross cash into two
categories: operating-related and other (which includes pension contributions,
the net effect of the change in our VEBA on cash, certain special items, tax
refunds, capital transactions with the Financial Services sector, acquisitions
and divestitures and other - primarily financing related). Our key metrics
are
operating-related cash flow, which best represents the ability of our Automotive
operations to generate cash, and Automotive gross cash. We believe the cash
flow
analysis reflected in the table below, which differs from a cash flow statement
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
is useful to investors because it includes cash flow elements that we consider
to be related to our operating activities (e.g., capital spending) that are
not
included in Net
cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations,
the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Debt.
At
September 30, 2006, our Automotive sector had total debt of
$17.7 billion, compared with $17.9 billion at December 31, 2005. Total
senior debt at September 30, 2006 was $12.5 billion, compared
with $12.7 billion at December 31,
2005.
The decrease in senior debt primarily reflected the maturity of two small bonds
totaling about $200 million.

Credit
Facilities.
At
September 30, 2006, the Automotive sector had $6.7 billion of
contractually-committed credit facilities with financial institutions, of which
$6.4 billion was available for use. Of the lines available for use, 77% (or
$5 billion) are committed through June 30, 2010 and the remainder
for a shorter period of time. Of the $6.7 billion, $6.3 billion
constitutes global credit facilities and may be used, at our option, by any
of
our direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries on a guaranteed basis. We
also have the ability to transfer, on a non-guaranteed basis, $2 billion of
such global credit facilities to Ford Credit and approximately $500 million
to FCE Bank plc ("FCE"), Ford Credit's European operation. All of the global
credit facilities are free of material adverse change clauses, restrictive
financial covenants (for example, debt-to-equity limitations and minimum net
worth requirements), and credit rating triggers that could limit our ability
to
borrow. As discussed under "Outlook" below, we are exploring various Automotive
financing strategies, which, if implemented, could impact our global credit
facilities.
Financial
Services Sector
Ford
Credit
Debt
and Cash.
Ford
Credit’s total debt plus securitized off-balance sheet funding was
$146.3 billion
at September 30, 2006, down $3.7 billion
compared with year-end 2005, primarily reflecting repayment of maturing debt
offset partially by asset-backed term debt and unsecured debt issuance.
At
September 30, 2006,
Ford Credit's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (excluding
marketable securities related to insurance activities) totaled
$17.4 billion, compared with $17.9 billion at year-end 2005. In the
normal course of its funding activities, Ford Credit may generate more proceeds
than are necessary for its immediate funding needs. These excess amounts are
maintained primarily as highly liquid investments, which provide liquidity
for
Ford Credit’s short-term funding needs and give Ford Credit flexibility in the
use of its other funding programs. Cash balances to be used only to support
Ford
Credit's on-balance sheet securitization transactions at September 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005,
were approximately $6.8 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. The
increase primarily reflects a larger cash balance in Ford Credit's wholesale
securitization trust due to a drop in the wholesale asset balance relative
to
the level of funding from issued securities (cash replaces wholesale assets
backing the securities). In addition, higher levels of securitized assets
resulted in an increase in the overall level of cash supporting securitization
transactions.
Funding.
During
the third quarter of 2006, Ford Credit realized proceeds of $7.2 billion
from asset-backed funding (including about $1.0 billion from public and
private sales of receivables in off-balance sheet securitizations) and about
$2.4 billion from unsecured institutional funding.
Term
Funding Plan.
Ford
Credit's present full-year 2006 funding plans are in the range of
$16 billion to $20 billion for public funding and $29 billion to
$33 billion for private transactions (including whole-loan sale
transactions). Through September 30, 2006,
Ford Credit had completed $36.5 billion of term debt issuance:
$19.3 billion through private transactions (of which $17.7 billion was
asset-backed funding and $1.6 billion was unsecured) and $16.2 billion
through public transactions (of which $9.9 billion was asset-backed
funding, $3.8 billion was unsecured and $2.5 billion was from a debt
exchange); and $1.0 billion from a whole-loan sale transaction.
Leverage.
Ford
Credit uses leverage, or the debt-to-equity ratio, to make various business
decisions, including establishing pricing for retail, wholesale and lease
financing, and assessing its capital structure. Ford Credit calculates leverage
on a financial statement basis and on a managed basis.

Credit
Facilities.
For
additional funding and to maintain liquidity, Ford Credit and its majority-owned
subsidiaries, including FCE, have contractually-committed credit facilities
with
financial institutions that totaled $5.7 billion at
September 30, 2006, of which $4.1 billion was available for use.
Of the $5.7 billion, $3.3 billion constitutes Ford Credit facilities
($2.7 billion global and about $600 million non-global) and
$2.4 billion are FCE facilities ($2.3 billion global and about
$100 million non-global). Of the lines available for use, 31% (or
$1.3 billion) are committed through June 30, 2010, and the
remainder are committed for a shorter period of time. Ford Credit's global
credit facilities may be used at its option by any of its direct or indirect
majority-owned subsidiaries. FCE's global credit facilities may be used at
its
option by any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries. Ford Credit
or FCE, as the case may be, will guarantee any such borrowings. All of the
global credit facilities have substantially identical contract terms (other
than
amounts) and are free of material adverse change clauses, restrictive financial
covenants (for example, debt-to-equity limitations and minimum net worth
requirements), and credit rating triggers that could limit Ford Credit's ability
to borrow. As discussed under "Outlook" below, we are exploring various
Automotive financing strategies, which, if implemented, could impact Ford
Credit's global credit lines.
Additionally,
at September 30, 2006, banks provided $18.9 billion of
contractually-committed liquidity facilities exclusively to support Ford
Credit's two on-balance sheet, asset-backed commercial paper programs;
$18.5 billion supported Ford Credit's FCAR Owner Trust retail
securitization program ("FCAR") and $375 million supported the Motown
NotesSM
wholesale securitization program ("Motown Notes"). The FCAR and Motown Notes
programs must be supported by liquidity facilities equal to at least 100% and
5%, respectively, of their face amount. At September 30, 2006,
$18 billion of FCAR's bank credit facilities were available to support
FCAR's asset-backed commercial paper or subordinated debt. The remaining
$500 million of available credit lines could be accessed for additional
funding if FCAR issued additional subordinated debt. Utilization of these
facilities is subject to conditions specific to each program and Ford Credit
having a sufficient amount of securitizable assets. At
September 30, 2006, the outstanding balances were $16.0 billion
for the FCAR program and $5.0 billion for the Motown Notes
program.
Committed
Purchase Programs. Ford
Credit has
entered
into agreements with several bank-sponsored conduits and other financial
institutions pursuant to which such parties are contractually committed to
purchase from Ford Credit, at Ford
Credit's option,
retail receivables and, under certain agreements, wholesale finance receivables
or asset-backed securities backed by wholesale finance receivables, for proceeds
up to $24.8 billion at September 30, 2006 ($15.1 billion
retail and $9.7 billion wholesale). These
committed facilities have varying maturity dates through September 2011,
with $18.9 billion being ordinarily renewed annually with an original term
of 364 days, and the balance having maturities between two and five years.
Ford Credit's ability
to obtain funding under these commitments is subject to having a sufficient
amount of receivables eligible for sale under these programs. At September 30, 2006,
$9.1 billion of these commitments were in use. These committed facilities
are extremely liquid funding sources as Ford
Credit is
able to
access funds generally within two days. These agreements do not contain
restrictive financial covenants (for example, debt-to-equity limitations or
minimum net worth requirements), material adverse change clauses, or credit
rating triggers that could relieve the purchaser of its purchase
commitment. However, the unused portion of the retail commitments may be
47
Item
2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
terminated
if the performance of the sold receivables deteriorates beyond specified levels.
Similarly, the unused portion of the wholesale commitments may be terminated
if
the rate at which dealer vehicle inventory is selling declines below certain
levels or if there are significant dealer defaults. Based on Ford
Credit's experience and knowledge as servicer of the sold assets, Ford Credit does not expect any commitments
to be terminated due to
these events.
In
October 2006, Ford Credit entered into an agreement for a multi-year
$6 billion committed facility for unrated asset-backed notes, and year to
date, has added $8 billion of additional committed capacity for the
securitization of wholesale assets, a significant portion of which is
multi-year.
At
September 30, 2006, Ford Credit's total cash, cash equivalents, and
marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance
activities), together with funding available through credit facilities and
committed purchase programs, was $80 billion, of which $71 billion
could be utilized (based on the availability of receivables at
September 30, 2006 that were eligible for sale under Ford Credit's
committed programs) to provide liquidity for all of Ford Credit's short-term
funding obligations.
Total
Company
Stockholders'
Equity.
Our
stockholders' equity was $9.2 billion at September 30, 2006, down
$4.3 billion compared with December 31, 2005. The decrease
primarily reflected a net loss from the first nine months of 2006, offset
partially by favorable changes in Accumulated
other
comprehensive income/(loss)
("OCI")
(see Note 13 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for details of
OCI).
Credit
Ratings
Our
short-
and long-term debt is rated by four credit rating agencies designated as
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs")
by the
SEC:
|
Moody’s
Investors
Service,
Inc. ("Moody’s");
and
|
Ford.
In
July 2006,
DBRS lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B (high) from BB (low),
maintained the short-term rating at R-4, and maintained the trend at Negative.
In July 2006,
Moody's lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B2 from Ba3, and
maintained the outlook at Negative. In August 2006, Fitch lowered Ford's
long-term senior unsecured rating to B+ from BB-, and maintained the outlook
at
Negative. In September 2006, DBRS lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured
rating to B from B (high), lowered Ford's short-term rating to R-5 from R-4
and
maintained the trend at Negative. In September 2006, S&P lowered Ford's
long-term senior unsecured rating to B from B+, lowered Ford's short-term rating
to B-3 from B-2, and maintained the outlook at Negative. In September 2006,
Moody's lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B3 from B2, and
maintained the outlook at Negative. In October 2006,
S&P placed Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating on CreditWatch with
Negative implications. In October 2006,
Fitch placed Ford's long-term senior unsecured debt on Rating Watch Negative.
As
discussed under "Outlook" below, we are exploring various Automotive financing
strategies, which, if implemented, could adversely impact the credit ratings
of
Ford's unsecured debt.

In
September 2006, DBRS revised their definitions to certain rating
categories used to rate commercial paper and other short-term debt
instruments resulting in a Ford Credit short-term rating of R-4 in
lieu of
R-3 (high) and a Ford short-term rating of R-5 in lieu of R-3 (middle).
The Ford and Ford Credit rating revision is related to the redefinition
of
the rating categories and does not reflect a change in the DBRS opinion
regarding the credit quality of these
debts.

**
|
Ford's
long-term senior unsecured debt ratings are presently under review

S&P.
|
|
***
|
S&P
lowered FCE's long-term debt rating to B+ from BB-, maintaining a
one-notch differential between FCE and Ford
Credit.
|
As
a
result of lower credit ratings, Ford Credit's unsecured borrowing costs have
increased and access to unsecured debt markets has become more restricted.
In
response, Ford Credit has increased its use of securitization and other
asset-backed sources of liquidity and will continue to expand and diversify
its
asset-backed funding by asset class and region. In addition, Ford Credit will
continue to participate in the whole-loan market and access unsecured term
debt
when opportunities exist that are consistent with its funding needs. Further,
Ford Credit has various alternative business arrangements for select products
and markets that reduce its funding requirements while allowing it to support
us. Ford Credit will continue to pursue such arrangements in the future. Over
time, Ford Credit likely will need to reduce further the amount of receivables
it purchases. A significant reduction in the amount of purchased receivables
would reduce ongoing profits, and could adversely affect its ability to support
the sale of Ford vehicles.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Special
Purpose Entities. At
September 30, 2006,
the
total outstanding principal amount of receivables sold by Ford Credit and held
by off-balance sheet securitization entities was $12.9 billion, down
$5.1 billion from December 31, 2005.
The
decrease primarily reflected the impact of U.S. public retail transactions
being
reported on-balance sheet in the first nine months of 2006. Ford Credit's
retained interests in such sold receivables at September 30, 2006 were
$1.1 billion, down about $300 million from December 31, 2005.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
Our
outlook for quality, market share, and Automotive cost changes remains unchanged
from last quarter. While we expect Automotive cost changes to be favorable
for
full-year 2006 and we continue to work toward our goal of $5 billion in
annual operating cost reductions in North America by the end of 2008, we
anticipate that the impact of lower production volumes through the first half
of
2007 will more than offset the benefit of favorable cost changes. Overall,
we
anticipate that North American production will be down 8 percent to 12 percent
for the first six months of 2007 as compared with the same period this year.
This reflects the cessation of production of the Ford Taurus and Ford Freestar
(in the fourth quarter of 2006 and second quarter of 2007, respectively) which
will result in lower fleet and total share through most of next year, and lower
truck and sport utility vehicle production. For 2006, we expect that Ford South
America and Ford Europe will be profitable on a full-year basis. We anticipate
that our restructuring efforts at Ford North America will result in a full-year
operating loss, with operating results in the fourth quarter likely to be worse
than in the third quarter. We have lowered our full-year outlook for Ford Asia
Pacific and Africa to a loss, primarily due to continued segmentation shifts
in
Australia, and lower industry volumes in Taiwan. Although we anticipate that
PAG's fourth quarter results will approach breakeven, we are projecting a
full-year loss for this operating segment.
Our
current projection of fourth quarter 2006 production for certain segments is

$10.5 billion, with about $1.4 billion to $2.4 billion of this
amount to be recognized during the fourth quarter. Our full-year special items
include a charge of about $2.5 billion for Jobs Bank Benefits and related
employee separations pursuant to our accelerated Way Forward plan, and about
$1.5 billion to $2.0 billion for pension curtailment losses in North
America primarily related to execution of the Way Forward plan. Charges for
special items reflected in our full-year projection also include the impairment
of long-lived assets in our Ford North America segment (about $2.2 billion)
and
our Jaguar/Land Rover operations (about $1.6 billion) during the third
quarter of 2006. We also anticipate charges in a range of about
$1.1 billion to $1.4 billion for additional personnel-reduction
programs in North America; a range of about $400 million to
$600 million for personnel-reduction programs in Europe; and about
$300 million for facility-related costs that we recorded in the first
quarter of 2006 (primarily related to a fixed asset write-off for our idled
St. Louis Assembly Plant). These charges are offset partially by one-time
gains of about $200 million, relating to our share of a gain Mazda realized
on the transfer of its pension liabilities to the Japanese government, and
to a
legal settlement relating to social welfare tax liability in South America.
We
currently expect cash payments during 2006 for special items, including some
similar separation expenses recorded in 2005, to be about $1.5 billion.
Our
Financial Services sector will be profitable in 2006, though less profitable
than in 2005 due to the absence of earnings from Hertz (including the gain
on
sale) and lower earnings at Ford Credit. The lower earnings at Ford Credit
primarily reflect the impact of higher interest rates, lower average receivables
in its managed portfolio, and higher depreciation expenses for vehicles subject
to operating leases due to market weakness for trucks and sport utility
vehicles. We anticipate Ford Credit's managed receivables will be in the range
of $145 billion to $150 billion at year-end 2006. To the extent that
we do not elect to designate derivatives, changes in interest rates will result
in volatility in our results of operations.
Our
anticipated year-end Automotive liquidity includes $20 billion of cash
(including cash and cash equivalents, marketable and loaned securities and
short-term VEBA) and $6 billion of contractually-committed credit
facilities, as well as $3 billion in our long-term VEBA that is accessible
over time. We also are seeking to raise additional capital through the sale
of
all or part of Aston Martin and Automobile Protection Corporation. During the
fourth quarter and for the near- to medium-term, we expect our operating-related
cash flow to be negative by a substantial amount. This primarily reflects
significant operating losses in our Automotive sector through 2008, cash
expenditures incurred in connection with our restructuring efforts (primarily
for personnel reductions), and pension contributions. This also reflects our
expectation to continue to invest in new products throughout this period at
about the same level we have during the past few years (about $7 billion
per year). To fund the substantial negative cash flow we expect to experience
over this period and to provide added liquidity to protect against a recession
or other unexpected events, we are exploring various Automotive financing
strategies, including secured financing involving a substantial portion of
our
Automotive assets.

of
Operations (Continued)
On
September 29, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88,
106

to require recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of pension
and
other postretirement benefit plans on an issuer's balance sheet. See "Accounting
Standards Issued but not yet Adopted" for a discussion of the anticipated impact
of this change.

2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of
Operations (Continued)
We
cannot
be certain that any expectation, forecast or assumption made by management
in
preparing these forward-looking statements will prove accurate, or that any
projection will be realized. It is to be expected that there may be differences
between projected and actual results. Our forward-looking statements speak
only
as of the date of their initial issuance, and we do not undertake any obligation
to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise. For additional discussion,
see
"Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
OPEB
(Retiree Health Care and Life Insurance).
We
remeasured the U.S. hourly OPEB plan as of July 13, 2006, as a result of the
UAW
agreement in December 2005 to increase retiree health care cost sharing as
part
of our overall cost reduction efforts. The remeasurement (including effects
of a
higher discount rate and recent health care claims experience) reduced our
OPEB
obligation by about $9 billion. The weighted average discount rate used to
determine the benefit obligation was 6.23% (up 50 basis points from the 5.73%
used at year-end 2005). As of July 13, 2006, the weighted average
initial health care cost trend rate was 6% (down 100 basis points from the
7%
used at year-end 2005).
For
further discussion regarding the UAW retiree health care cost sharing agreement,
see Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
ACCOUNTING
STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements.
This
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in
GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157
does
not introduce new requirements for when fair value measures must be used, but
focuses on how to measure fair value by establishing a fair value hierarchy
to
classify the sources of information used to measure fair value. SFAS No. 157
is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007
and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is assessing the potential
impact on present fair value measurement techniques, disclosures, and our
financial position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,
Employers'
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).
This
standard requires employers that sponsor defined benefit plans to recognize
the
over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan
as
an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize
changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur, through
comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158
requires prospective application, and is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006.
The
adoption of SFAS No. 158
is
expected to reduce our year-end Stockholders'
equity
by
approximately $15 billion.
The actual reduction may differ due to the inherent uncertainty involved with
year-end valuation estimates. This accounting change does not affect our results
of operations and will not impact our ability to draw on our
contractually-committed credit facilities.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108,
which provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of
financial statement misstatements, as well as guidance on correcting errors
using a dual approach. When evaluating materiality, registrants should consider
the effects of present and prior year misstatements on both the balance sheet
and income statement, and also the present year effects on each of adjusting
prior year misstatements that were appropriately considered immaterial under
the
previous approach. SAB No. 108
is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006;
we
presently apply this methodology.
In
addition, we have not yet adopted SFAS Nos. 155
and
156 or FASB Interpretation No. 48.
Both
will be discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the periods ended
March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

OTHER
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The
interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for
the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 has not been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"). In reviewing such information,
PwC has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards
for
reviews of interim financial information. Accordingly, you should restrict
your
reliance on their reports on such information. PwC is not subject to the
liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their
reports on the interim financial information, because such reports do not
constitute "reports" or "parts" of the registration statements prepared or
certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities
Act
of 1933.

ITEM
3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
|
Foreign
Currency Risk.
Our
foreign currency risk sensitivity has increased since
December 31, 2005 due to the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar.
As the dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the value of our derivative
portfolio increases, and thus the adverse impact of a hypothetical 10% rate
change on our financial results becomes increasingly significant. As of
September 29, 2006, the potential decrease in fair value of our
derivative portfolio in response to a hypothetical 10% adverse change in
underlying foreign currency exchange rates would be $1.6 billion, compared
with $1.3 billion at December 31, 2005.
Commodity
Price Risk. There
has
been no material change to the information reported in "Item 7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2005 Form 10-K/A
Report.
Interest
Rate Risk. There
has
been no material change to the information reported in Item 7A of our
2005 Form 10-K/A Report.
Ford
Credit's interest rate risk also increased since December 31, 2005. Assuming
a
hypothetical increase in interest rates of 100 basis points (or 1%) across
all
maturities, we estimate that such an increase at September 30, 2006 would
reduce Ford Credit's pre-tax cash flow by approximately $89 million over
the next twelve months, compared with $40 million at
December 31, 2005. In reality, rate changes are rarely instantaneous
or parallel.

|
Controls
and Procedures.
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As
discussed in "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" of our 2005 Form 10-K/A
Report, we identified a material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting with respect to the application of the assumption of no
ineffectiveness to certain derivative transactions that did not meet the
specific criteria set forth in Paragraph 68. As of the date of the filing of
our
2005 Form 10-K/A Report, that material weakness has been fully remediated
as described in "Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" of our 2005 Form 10-K/A
Report.
Alan
Mulally, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and
Donat R. Leclair, Jr., our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), have
performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as
that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2006, and, solely
as a result of the existence at that time of the material weakness in internal
control over financial reporting described above, each has concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
In
connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended September 30, 2006, under the direction of our CEO and CFO, we
have again evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act and have concluded that,
including the remedial actions described in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report, as
of
November 14, 2006, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Effective
September 1, 2006, Alan Mulally was elected President and Chief Executive
Officer, and became a member of our Board of Directors.
As
a
result of the implementation beginning in the third quarter of 2006 of the
UAW
retiree health care cost sharing agreement discussed in Note 14 of the Notes
to
the Financial Statements, we have implemented new internal controls with respect
to the accounting for recent changes in eligibility and coverage
options.
Also
during the third quarter, we launched a new accounting system for finished
vehicles in North America; going forward, launch of the new system is planned
for selected locations outside of North America. We also replaced the legacy
accounts payable system at Land Rover during the third quarter.
We
implemented a number of changes in internal control in October and November
2006
related to remediation of the material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting with respect to accounting for certain hedges of interest
rate risk (discussed in the Explanatory Note and in Note 2 of the Notes to
the
Financial Statements), including the issuance of a corporate directive
suspending use of the application of Paragraph 68 of SFAS No. 133, and the
de-designation of all derivative transactions to which we previously had applied
the exception set forth in Paragraph 68.

Environmental
Matters.
California
Environmental Action. On
September 20, 2006, the California Attorney General filed a complaint in the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Ford,
General Motors Corporation, Toyota Motor North America, Honda North America,
Inc., DaimlerChrysler and Nissan North America, seeking monetary damages on
a
joint and several basis for economic and environmental harm to California caused
by global warming. The complaint alleges that cars and trucks sold in the United
States constitute an environmental public nuisance under federal and California
state common law. We believe that this suit is without merit, and we intend
to
file for dismissal as soon as practicable. Two years ago, eight states
(including California) and several other plaintiffs filed a similar
environmental public nuisance claim in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York against five public utilities. That case was dismissed
on
September 15, 2005, when the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of
New York concluded that the suit presented non-justiciable political questions.
The public utilities case has been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the
Second Circuit.

We
currently do not have a publicly announced repurchase program in
place. Of
the 5,613,357 shares purchased, 5,594,593 shares were purchased from
the
Ford Motor Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan for Salaried
Employees ("SSIP") and the Tax Efficient Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees
("TESPHE"). Shares are generally purchased from SSIP and TESPHE when
participants in those plans elect to sell units in the Ford Stock
Fund
upon retirement, upon termination of employment with the Company,
related
to an in-service distribution, or to fund a loan against an existing
account balance in the Ford Stock Fund. Shares are not purchased
from
these plans when a participant transfers account balances out of
the Ford
Stock Fund and into another investment option under the plans. The
remaining shares were acquired from our employees or directors in
accordance with our various compensation plans as a result of share
withholdings to pay income taxes with respect
to: (i) the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock, (ii) the issuance
of unrestricted stock, including issuances as a result of the conversion
of restricted stock equivalents, or (iii) to pay the exercise price
and related income taxes with respect
to
certain exercises of stock
options.

Other
Information.

Governmental
Standards
Motor
Vehicle Fuel Economy. As
previously disclosed, a group of petitioners led by Massachusetts and other
states has sought review by the U.S. Supreme Court of a decision by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upholding the
Environmental Protection Agency's decision not to regulate carbon dioxide
emissions from motor vehicles under the federal Clean Air Act. This matter
is
scheduled to be argued before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, November 29,
2006,
and a decision is expected by late June 2007. The Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers ("Alliance"), of which we are a member, is an intervenor in the
case and is participating in the briefing in support of the Environmental
Protection Agency's decision.
Mobile
Source Emissions Control. As
previously disclosed, the Alliance had intervened as a defendant in a
Pennsylvania citizens' suit that sought to compel the Pennsylvania Department
of
Environmental Protection ("DEP") to adopt California motor vehicle emission
standards (including its greenhouse gas rules). On September 22, 2006, the
U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dismissed the
plaintiff's suit; however, the DEP is now in the process of adopting the
California motor vehicle emission standards (including its greenhouse gas
rules).
California
Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. On
September 27, 2006, the governor of California signed into law the Global
Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (better known by its Assembly Bill number "AB32").
This law mandates that statewide greenhouse gas emissions be capped at 1990
levels by the year 2020, which represents a significant reduction from current
greenhouse gas levels. It also requires the monitoring and annual reporting
of
greenhouse gas emissions by all "significant" sources and delegates authority
to
the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") to develop and implement greenhouse
gas emissions reduction measures. Finally, AB32 requires CARB to implement
alternative regulations to control mobile sources of greenhouse gas emissions
to
achieve equivalent or greater reductions if the motor vehicle greenhouse gas
emissions rules adopted under Assembly Bill AB1493 do not remain in effect.
Motor
Vehicle Safety. As
previously disclosed in our 2005 Form 10-K/A Report, various groups have
challenged the categorical determination by the National Highway Transportation
Safety Administration ("NHTSA") that certain areas of data were granted a
presumption of confidentiality under the Transportation Recall Enhancement,
Accountability and Documentation ("TREAD") Act early warning reporting
requirements. Since that time, the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia has ruled that, while NHTSA had the authority to make these categorical
determinations, NHTSA did not provide adequate public notice and opportunity
to
comment. NHTSA has decided to address this issue in further rulemaking.
Resolution of this litigation may result in the publication of death and injury
information that manufacturers have been submitting to NHTSA under the TREAD
Act's early warning reporting rules.
