FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these unaudited 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 for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 10-K 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.
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 concerning classification of discontinued operations within the statement of cash flows.
In accordance with the definition of cash equivalents in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, we revised the presentation of $3.1 billion and $593 million of marketable securities with contractual maturities exceeding ninety days from the date of purchase from Cash and cash equivalents to Marketable securities on the balance sheet and statement of cash flows as of December 31, 2005 and statement of cash flows as of June 30, 2005, respectively. All of these securities had maturity dates of less than twelve months from the date of purchase and were highly liquid. This revision had no impact on 2005 Net income/(loss).
NOTE 2. INCOME TAXES
For the first half 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. The second quarter tax rate of 41.9% and first half tax rate of 41.2% include the impact on deferred tax balances of tax law changes in the country of Turkey and the state of Texas.

NOTE 4. EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ACTIONS
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 have announced that the following facilities would 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.
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 a guaranteed employment numbers provision, pursuant to which we are required to pay idled workers 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 workers 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 reduction described above are expected to create a population of hourly workers 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. Consequently, we recognized a $1.75 billion pre-tax charge during the first quarter of 2006, reported in Automotive cost of sales, for costs associated with 13,500 UAW-represented employees (including 3,500 Automotive Components Holdings, LLC ("ACH") employees) and 2,000 CAW-represented employees who are expected to be idled on a permanent basis. The employee-related costs associated with these actions 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 includes the expected cost of voluntary separation and relocation packages offered to affected employees and is adjusted when we receive UAW agreement to offer voluntary separation packages and/or relocation packages to employees at these plants and the number of acceptances can be reasonably estimated. Approximately 3,400 of the 15,500 affected employees have already accepted voluntary separation packages or have agreed to relocate to other facilities. In addition, we have received union agreement to offer approximately 4,100 additional voluntary separation packages at the seven plants to be idled identified above.
The reserve balance at June 30, 2006 was $1.32 billion and represents our best estimate of our remaining liability 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 acceptance of voluntary termination packages. However, because of the complexities inherent in estimating this reserve, our actual costs could differ materially. Accordingly, we will continue to review actively our expected liability and make adjustments as necessary. We will continue to expense costs associated with the small number of employees who are temporarily idled on an as-incurred basis.
Other Voluntary Employee Separation Actions: During the first half of 2006, we also reduced our hourly workforce in U.S. plants other than those identified above by approximately 2,700 employees year-to-date and recognized a $149 million pre-tax charge related to these separations. In the second quarter of 2005, we announced a salaried personnel separation program for North American employees. We recognized pre-tax employee separation charges of $7 million and $205 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively, related to this separation program.
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 $57 million and $360 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively.
All charges disclosed above exclude costs for pension, postretirement health care and life insurance benefits. For further discussion regarding pension, postretirement health care and life insurance benefits, see Note 12 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Total inventories | | $ | 12,116 | | $ | 10,271 | |
NOTE 6. 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. This change decreased Cost of sales by $50 million and $134 million for the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, and increased Income/(loss) from continuing operations and Net income by $31 million or $0.01 per diluted share and $84 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively.
NOTE 7. 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. This testing is conducted at the reporting unit level. 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.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in millions):
| | Goodwill, December 31, 2005 | | Goodwill Acquired | | Goodwill Impaired | | Exchange Translation/Other | | Goodwill, June 30, 2006 | |

In addition to the goodwill presented in the above table, included within Equity in net assets of affiliated companies was goodwill of $249 million at June 30, 2006. This included an increase of $36 million related to the conversion of our investment in Mazda Motor Corporation ("Mazda") convertible bonds to an investment in Mazda's equity.

Total | | $ | 1,068 | | $ | (193 | ) | $ | 875 | | $ | 993 | | $ | (173 | ) | $ | 820 | |
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 half of 2006 and 2005 was $12 million and $34 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 8. 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 June 30, 2006 balance sheet are consolidated VIE assets of $5.5 billion for the Automotive sector and $54.6 billion for the Financial Services sector. Included in Automotive consolidated VIE assets are $577 million of cash and cash equivalents. For the Financial Services sector, consolidated VIE assets include $5.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and $49.3 billion of finance receivables.
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 ($269 million for the Automotive sector and $197 million for the Financial Services sector at June 30, 2006) to any potential losses, should they occur, associated with these VIEs 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 $5 billion at June 30, 2006.

In the first quarter, we recorded a $414 million pension curtailment loss associated with employees to be permanently idled at announced facilities. In the second quarter, we recorded an additional $489 million pension curtailment loss associated with employee separations.
In December 2005, we entered into an agreement with the UAW (the "Agreement") 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.
At June 30, 2006, our retiree VEBA contained $6.2 billion, invested on a long-term basis consistent with our pension asset investments. We plan to change our investment strategy for this VEBA to invest $3 billion in shorter-duration fixed income investments to facilitate the payment of retiree benefits. Consistent with our standard practice, we will include in Automotive gross cash the amounts invested in shorter-duration fixed income investments that are able to be used within the next 18 months to pay for retiree benefits. Our plan for the balance of 2006 is to use between $500 million and $1 billion of these shorter-duration fixed income investments to pay retiree benefits. As a result of these changes, effective September 30, 2006 our expected return assumption applicable to the trust assets invested in shorter-duration
Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)
NOTE 12. RETIREMENT BENEFITS (Continued)
fixed income investments and those invested on a long-term basis consistent with our pension asset investments will be 5.5% and 8.5%, respectively.
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 half of 2006, we contributed $700 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 $700 million in the second half of 2006, for a total of $1.4 billion. 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.
NOTE 13. GUARANTEES
The fair values of guarantees and indemnifications during 2006 and 2005 are recorded in the financial statements and are de minimis.
At June 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 $110 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 June 30, 2006, the carrying value of our deferred gain related to the letters of credit was $25 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 10-K 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 10-K Report.
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 second quarter of 2006, there were no significant changes to our indemnifications.
Product Performance
Warranty: Estimated warranty costs and additional service actions are accrued for at the time the vehicle is sold to a dealer. Included in the warranty cost accruals are costs for basic warranty coverages on vehicles sold. Additional service actions, such as product recalls and other customer service actions, are not included in the warranty reconciliation below, but are also accrued for at the time of sale. Estimates for warranty costs are made based primarily on historical warranty claim experience. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty accruals (in millions):

Extended Service Plans: Fees or premiums for the issuance of extended service plans are recognized in income over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract.
NOTE 14. 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 table below. Included in each segment described below with the exception of our interest in Mazda are the associated costs to design, develop, manufacture, and service vehicles and parts.
Ford North America segment includes primarily the sale of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brand vehicles and related service parts in North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico).
Ford South America segment includes primarily the sale of Ford-brand vehicles and related service parts in South America.
Ford Europe segment includes primarily the sale of Ford-brand vehicles and related service parts in Europe, Turkey, and Russia.
The PAG segment includes primarily the sale of PAG-brand vehicles (i.e., Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin) and related service parts throughout the world (including North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa).
Ford Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda segment includes primarily the sale of Ford-brand vehicles and related service parts in the Asia Pacific region and South Africa and also includes our share of the results of Mazda, of which we own 33.4%, and certain of our Mazda-related investments.
Transactions among Automotive segments are presented generally on an absolute cost basis, eliminating the effect of legal entity transfer prices within the Automotive sector for vehicles, components and product engineering.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ford Motor Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. In addition, we have reviewed the accompanying interim sector balance sheet and the related sector statements of income and of cash flows, presented for purposes of additional analysis. These interim financial statements (collectively, the “interim financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
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.
We have previously 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 and of cash flows, and consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the year then ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005; and in our report dated March 1, 2006, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information 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.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have changed certain amounts in our consolidated and sector statements of income (primarily Cost of sales) previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 20, 2006; these changes reflect an increase in estimates of our pension curtailment loss, as well as subsequent events with respect to conditions that existed as of the date of our balance sheet. These resulted in a decrease of $203 million in Income/(loss) before income taxes and $131 million in Net income/(loss) in the second quarter of 2006 from that disclosed in the 8-K Report.
With these changes, our worldwide net loss was $254 million or $0.14 per share of Common and Class B stock in the second quarter of 2006, down from a profit of $946 million or $0.47 per share in the second quarter of 2005.

Overall Automotive Sector
The decline in earnings primarily reflected unfavorable net interest income primarily related to the non-recurrence of favorable tax-related interest on refund claims and adjustments to tax-related interest reserves (about $500 million), unfavorable currency exchange primarily due to the expiration of favorable hedges (about $300 million), unfavorable volume and mix - mainly product mix, with the impact of lower industry volume offset primarily by the favorable impact of a higher year-over-year change in dealer stocks (about $300 million), and unfavorable net pricing (about $100 million). These adverse factors were offset partially by favorable cost changes (about $700 million). See "First Half Results of Operations - Automotive Sector" for a discussion of cost changes.
The decline in revenues primarily reflected unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates for International Operations, unfavorable product mix, and unfavorable net pricing.
The Americas Operations
Ford North America Segment. The improvement in earnings primarily reflected favorable cost changes and the non-recurrence of Visteon-related charges (primarily valuation allowance against employee-related receivables), offset partially by pension curtailment charges, unfavorable volume and mix (mainly product mix, with the impact of lower industry volume offset primarily by the favorable impact of a higher year-over-year change in dealer stocks), higher marketing incentives, and unfavorable currency exchange. The cost changes reflected improvements in quality-related costs, manufacturing and engineering costs, and net product costs.
Ford South America Segment. The increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable net pricing, higher industry volume, and a legal settlement relating to social welfare tax liability, offset partially by unfavorable cost changes. Cost changes reflected higher net product costs, advertising and sales promotions costs, and manufacturing and engineering costs.
International Operations
Ford Europe Segment. The increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable cost changes, offset partially by unfavorable market mix, unfavorable net pricing, and unfavorable currency exchange. The favorable cost changes reflected improvements in manufacturing and engineering costs and net product costs.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
PAG Segment. The decline in earnings primarily reflected unfavorable currency exchange related to the expiration of favorable hedges, adjustments to warranty accruals for prior model-year vehicles, mainly at Land Rover and Jaguar, and lower market share at Volvo associated with new model changeovers, offset partially by favorable product and market mix and lower overhead costs.
Ford Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda Segment. The decrease in earnings for Ford Asia Pacific and Africa primarily reflected weaker industry volumes in traditional markets and lower sales of our Australian large cars, 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 more than explained by higher unit sales in China, India, and South Africa. The decrease in revenue primarily reflected changes in currency exchange rates. Our revenue excludes vehicle unit sales at our unconsolidated affiliates, including those in China.
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 decline in results primarily reflected the non-recurrence of favorable tax-related interest on refund claims and adjustments to tax-related interest reserves, offset partially by higher returns on invested cash.

We sold Hertz during the fourth quarter of 2005 resulting in declines in Revenues and Income/(loss) before income taxes during 2006.
Ford Credit
The decrease in earnings primarily reflected higher borrowing costs, the impact of lower average receivable levels in Ford Credit's managed portfolio, lower credit loss reserve reductions and higher depreciation expense.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Ford Credit's net finance receivables and net investment in operating leases are shown below (in billions):
| | June 30, 2006 | | December 31, 2005 | | 2006 Over/(Under) 2005 | |
| | | | | | | |
On-Balance Sheet (including on-balance sheet securitizations) * | | $ | 136.2 | | $ | 132.1 | | $ | 4.1 | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
Serviced | | $ | 153.8 | | $ | 153.0 | | $ | 0.8 | |
__________
* | At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, about $52.1 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, interests in operating leases and the related vehicles (net of accumulated depreciation) 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. |
The increase in on-balance sheet, managed and serviced receivables from year-end 2005 primarily reflected increased investments in operating leases, offset partially by lower retail contract placement volumes. We expect Ford Credit to have lower receivable levels in the second half of 2006. At year-end 2006, we anticipate Ford Credit's managed receivables to be about $145 billion.
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 second quarter of 2006 and 2005:
| | Second Quarter | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 Over/(Under) 2005 | |
Charge-offs (in millions) | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
On-Balance Sheet | | $ | 83 | | $ | 137 | | $ | (54 | ) | | | |

Loss-to-Receivables Ratios | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
On-Balance Sheet | | | 0.25 | % | | 0.44 | % | | (0.19 | ) | | pts. | |
Managed | | | 0.27 | % | | 0.41 | % | | (0.14 | ) | | pts. | |
During the second quarter of 2006, charge-offs and loss-to-receivables ratios for Ford Credit's on-balance sheet and managed portfolios reached their lowest levels in the past five years. 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 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:
| | June 30, 2006 | | December 31, 2005 | | 2006 Over/(Under) 2005 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Allowance for credit losses (in billions) | | $ | 1.4 | | $ | 1.6 | | $ | (0.2 | ) | | | |
Allowance as a percentage of end-of-period receivables | | | 0.99 | % | | 1.19 | % | | (0.20 | ) | | pts. | |
The decrease in allowance for credit losses from year-end 2005 primarily reflected improved charge-off performance.
Other Financial Services
The improvement in earnings primarily reflected the non-recurrence of a loss on a property sale.

Overall Automotive Sector
The decline in earnings primarily reflected Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary termination charges (about $1.6 billion), pension curtailment charges (about $900 million), unfavorable net pricing (about $500 million), lower market share and adverse product mix in North America and Europe (about $500 million), unfavorable currency exchange primarily due to the expiration of favorable hedges (about $400 million), unfavorable net interest income primarily related to the non-recurrence of favorable tax-related interest on refund claims and adjustments to tax-related interest reserves (about $400 million), costs of U.S. plant idlings - primarily fixed-asset write-offs (about $300 million), and other net expenses including those associated with ACH (about $200 million). These adverse factors were offset partially by favorable cost changes (about $700 million) and the non-recurrence of Visteon-related charges - primarily valuation allowance against employee-related receivables (about $300 million).
The decline in revenues primarily reflected unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates for International Operations, lower vehicle unit sales volume in North America, unfavorable product mix, and unfavorable net pricing.
The table below details our first half cost changes at constant volume, mix and exchange, excluding special items and discontinued operations (in billions):
Explanation of Cost Changes | | 2006 Better/(Worse) Than 2005 | |
Manufacturing and engineering | | | Primarily hourly and salaried personnel reductions and ongoing efficiencies in our plants, partially offset by charges associated with fixed-asset retirements. | | $ | 0.5 | |
Net product | | | Pricing reductions from our suppliers and design cost reductions on existing products, offset partially by commodity price increases. | | | 0.5 | |

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The Americas Operations
Ford North America Segment. The decline in earnings primarily reflected Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary termination charges (see Note 4 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional discussion of Jobs Bank Benefits and voluntary termination charges), pension curtailment charges, unfavorable volume and mix, unfavorable net pricing, costs of U.S. plant idlings (primarily fixed-asset write-offs), and unfavorable currency exchange, offset partially by favorable cost changes, primarily in net product costs.
Ford South America Segment. The increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable net pricing and higher vehicle unit sales reflecting higher industry sales volume, offset partially by unfavorable cost changes. The unfavorable cost changes primarily reflected unfavorable net product costs and unfavorable manufacturing and engineering costs.
International Operations
Ford Europe Segment. The increase in earnings primarily reflected favorable cost changes, offset partially by unfavorable net pricing and unfavorable volume and mix. The favorable cost changes primarily reflected lower net product costs and manufacturing and engineering costs.
PAG Segment. The improvement in earnings primarily reflected improved product mix and favorable cost changes, offset partially by unfavorable currency exchange related to the expiration of favorable hedges and unfavorable net pricing. The favorable cost changes reflected improvements in net product costs and manufacturing and engineering costs, offset partially by adjustments to warranty accruals for prior model-year vehicles, mainly at Land Rover and Jaguar.
Ford Asia Pacific and Africa/Mazda Segment. The decrease in earnings for Ford Asia Pacific and Africa primarily reflected adverse product mix including lower large car sales in Australia and unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, 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 more than explained by higher unit sales in China and India. The decrease in revenue primarily reflected changes in currency exchange rates and a higher mix of small cars relative to the same period last year. Our revenue excludes vehicle unit sales at our unconsolidated affiliates, including those in China.
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 decline in results primarily reflected the non-recurrence of favorable tax-related interest on refund claims and adjustments to tax-related interest reserves, offset partially by higher returns on invested cash.

We sold Hertz during the fourth quarter of 2005 resulting in declines in Revenues and Income/(loss) before income taxes during 2006.
Ford Credit
The decrease in earnings primarily reflected higher borrowing costs, the impact of lower average receivable levels in Ford Credit's managed portfolio and higher depreciation expense.
The following table shows worldwide charge-offs and loss-to-receivables ratios for the first half of 2006 and 2005:

Managed | | | 0.32 | % | | 0.48 | % | | (0.16 | ) | | pts. | |
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 also contributed to reduced charge-offs.
Other Financial Services
The improvement in earnings primarily reflected the non-recurrence of a loss on a property sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Automotive Sector
For the Automotive sector, liquidity and capital resources include gross cash balances, cash generated by operations, funds raised in capital markets and committed credit lines.
Gross Cash. Automotive gross cash includes cash and cash equivalents, marketable and loaned securities and assets contained in a short-term Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association trust (“VEBA”) as detailed below (in billions):
| | June 30, 2006 | | December 31, 2005 | | June 30, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Short-term VEBA assets | | | 0.0 | | | 1.4 | | | 2.6 | | | 4.1 | |
Gross cash | | $ | 23.6 | | $ | 25.1 | | $ | 21.8 | | $ | 23.6 | |
In managing our business, we classify changes in Automotive gross cash into two categories: operating-related and other (which includes pension and long-term VEBA contributions, certain special items, tax refunds, capital transactions with the Financial Services sector, acquisitions and divestitures and other - primarily financing related). Our key metric is operating-related cash flow, which best represents the ability of our Automotive operations to generate 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 in the United States ("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, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Changes in Automotive gross cash for the second quarter and first half of 2006 and 2005 are summarized below (in billions):
| | Second Quarter | | First Half | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 | | 2005 | |

Debt. At June 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 June 30, 2006 was $12.6 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 July 1, 2006, the Automotive sector had $6.7 billion of contractually committed credit facilities with financial institutions, of which $6.4 billion were 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 constitute 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 would limit our ability to borrow.
Financial Services Sector
Ford Credit
Debt and Cash. Ford Credit’s total debt plus securitized off-balance sheet funding was $147.2 billion at June 30, 2006, down $3.9 billion compared with year-end 2005, primarily reflecting repayment of maturing debt.
At June 30, 2006, Ford Credit's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) totaled $16 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 June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, were approximately $5.3 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. The increase primarily reflects about $2 billion in cash collections for a wholesale term maturity in July 2006.
Funding. During the second quarter of 2006, Ford Credit realized proceeds of $9.9 billion from asset-backed funding (including about $400 million from public and private sales of receivables in off-balance sheet securitizations) and about $2.2 billion from unsecured institutional funding. In addition, Ford Credit exchanged a portion of its outstanding debt securities for a new series of approximately $1.5 billion of fixed rate notes due 2010, a new series of approximately $1 billion of floating rate notes due 2011 and approximately $1.2 billion in cash. The purpose of the debt exchange was to lengthen Ford Credit's average debt maturities and reduce its overall debt levels.
Term Funding Plan. Ford Credit's present full-year 2006 funding plans are in the range of $12 billion to $17 billion for public funding and $25 billion to $33 billion for private transactions (including whole-loan sale transactions). Through June 30, 2006, Ford Credit had completed $25.9 billion of term debt issuance: $15.2 billion through private transactions (of which $13.7 billion was asset-backed funding and $1.5 billion was unsecured) and $10.7 billion through public transactions (of which $6.7 billion was asset-backed funding, $1.5 billion was unsecured and $2.5 billion was from the debt exchange described above); and $1 billion from a whole-loan sale transaction.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
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.
The following table illustrates the calculation of Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage (in billions, except for ratios):
| | June 30, | | December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total debt | | $ | 133.7 | | $ | 134.5 | |
Total stockholder’s equity | | | 11.4 | | | 10.7 | |
Debt-to-equity ratio (to 1) | | | 11.8 | | | 12.5 | |
The following table illustrates the calculation of Ford Credit’s managed leverage (in billions, except for ratios):
| | June 30, | | December 31, | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total debt | | $ | 133.7 | | $ | 134.5 | |
Securitized off-balance sheet receivables outstanding | | | 14.6 | | | 18.0 | |
Retained interest in securitized off-balance sheet receivables | | | (1.1 | ) | | (1.4 | ) |
Adjustments for cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities * | | | (16.0 | ) | | (17.9 | ) |
Fair value hedge accounting adjustments | | | (0.7 | ) | | (1.6 | ) |
Total adjusted debt | | $ | 130.5 | | $ | 131.6 | |
| | | | | | | |
Total stockholder’s equity (including minority interest) | | $ | 11.4 | | $ | 10.7 | |
Fair value hedge accounting adjustments | | | (0.1 | ) | | 0.0 | |
Total adjusted equity | | $ | 11.3 | | $ | 10.7 | |
| | | | | | | |
Managed debt-to-equity ratio (to 1) | | | 11.5 | | | 12.3 | |
__________
* | Excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities. |
For the remainder of 2006, Ford Credit expects its managed leverage to trend down slightly from the current ratio of 11.5 to 1.
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 July 1, 2006, of which $4.1 billion were available for use. Of the $5.7 billion, about $3.4 billion constitute Ford Credit facilities ($2.7 billion global and about $700 million non-global) and $2.3 billion are FCE facilities ($2.2 billion global and about $100 million non-global). Of the lines available for use, 30% (or $1.2 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 commitment 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.
Additionally, at July 1, 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 July 1, 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 July 1, 2006, the outstanding balances were $16.4 billion for the FCAR program and $5.0 billion for the Motown Notes program.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Committed Purchase Programs. Ford Credit has entered into agreements with several bank-sponsored commercial paper issuers 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 of up to $20.9 billion ($16.2 billion retail and $4.7 billion wholesale). These agreements have varying maturity dates between August 22, 2006 and March 2, 2009. Ford Credit's ability to obtain funding under these commitments is subject to Ford Credit having a sufficient amount of receivables that are eligible for sale under these programs. As of June 30, 2006, $8.5 billion of these commitments were in use.
At June 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 $75 billion, of which $69 billion could be utilized (based on the availability of receivables at June 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 $14.6 billion at June 30, 2006, up $1.7 billion compared with December 31, 2005. The increase primarily reflected favorable changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) ("OCI") (see Note 11 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for details of OCI), offset partially by Net income/(loss) from the first half of 2006.
Credit Ratings
Ford. In June 2006, Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B+ from BB-, maintained the short-term rating at B-2 and maintained the outlook at Negative. In June 2006, Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to BB- from BB, maintained the short-term rating at B and maintained the outlook at Negative. In July 2006, Moody's Investors Services ("Moody's") lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B2 from Ba3, maintained the short-term rating at Not Prime ("NP") and maintained the outlook at Negative. In July 2006, Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ("DBRS") lowered Ford's long-term senior unsecured rating to B (high) from BB (low), lowered the short-term rating to R-3 (middle) from R-3 (high) and maintained the trend at Negative.
Ford Credit. In June 2006, S&P lowered Ford Credit's long-term senior unsecured rating to B+ from BB-, maintained the short-term rating at B-2 and maintained the outlook at Negative. In June 2006, Fitch affirmed Ford Credit's long-term senior unsecured rating at BB, maintained the short-term rating at B and maintained the outlook at Negative. In July 2006, Moody's lowered Ford Credit's long-term senior unsecured rating to Ba3 from Ba2, maintained the short-term rating at "NP" and maintained the outlook at Negative. In July 2006, DBRS lowered Ford Credit's long-term senior unsecured rating to BB (low) from BB, maintained the short-term rating at R-3 (high) and maintained the trend at Negative.
The following chart summarizes our present senior long-term unsecured and short-term credit ratings and the outlook assigned by four of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations:
| Ford | Ford Credit |
| Long Term | Short Term | Outlook/Trend | Long Term | Short Term | Outlook/Trend |
DBRS | B (high) | R-3 (middle) | Negative | BB (low) | R-3 (high) | Negative |
Fitch | BB- | N/A | Negative | BB | B | Negative |
Moody's | B2 | N/A | Negative | Ba3 | NP | Negative |
S&P* | B+ | B-2 | Negative | B+ | B-2 | Negative |
_______
* S&P maintained FCE's long-term rating at BB-.
As a result of lower credit ratings, our access to unsecured debt markets has become more restricted. Ford Credit's unsecured borrowing costs have increased and its outstanding unsecured term debt balances and unsecured commercial paper balances have declined. 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. 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 Ford Credit's ongoing profits, and could adversely affect its ability to support the sale of Ford vehicles.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Special Purpose Entities. At June 30, 2006, the total outstanding principal amount of receivables sold by Ford Credit and held by off-balance sheet securitization entities was $14.6 billion, down about $3.4 billion from December 31, 2005. The decline in securitized off-balance sheet receivables primarily reflected the impact of the U.S. public retail transaction being reported on-balance sheet in the first half of 2006. Ford Credit's retained interests in such sold receivables at June 30, 2006 were $1.1 billion, down about $300 million from December 31, 2005.
OUTLOOK
We have set and communicated the following planning assumptions and operational metrics:
Industry Volume (SAAR incl. heavy trucks) | Planning Assumptions | First Half Status | Full-Year Outlook |
U.S. (million units) | 17.0 | 17.2 | 17.2 |
Europe (million units) | 17.3 | 17.7 | 17.6 |
| | | |
Operation Metrics | 2006 Milestones | | |
Quality | Improved | On track | On track |
Market share | Flat to improved | Down | Down |
Automotive cost changes (billions) (a) | Favorable | $0.7 | On track |
Capital spending (billions) | About $7 | $3.4 | On track |
Year-end cash balance (billions) (b) | Over $20 | $23.6 | On track |
__________
(a) At constant volume, mix and exchange; excluding special items.
(b) Includes cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, loaned securities, and short-term VEBA.
Although we continue to expect cost changes to be favorable this year, in the second half of 2006 we expect to experience increased costs associated with product programs, commodities and warranty; the increase in warranty costs results from our recently-announced extended powertrain warranty for 2007 model-year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. As a result, we do not expect to repeat our favorable first half cost changes in the second half of 2006. With respect to our other milestones, we remain on track to improve quality and to meet our capital spending and year-end cash balance targets for 2006. However, we now anticipate that our market share will be down for the full year. We expect that each of our operating segments, with the exception of Ford North America and PAG, will be profitable in 2006. Based on the recent trend in sales, we now anticipate full-year PAG results will be a loss. We also currently anticipate a favorable tax settlement in the third quarter of 2006 primarily relating to tax years 1992-94.
Our current projection of third quarter 2006 production for certain segments is as follows (in thousands):
| | Third Quarter | |
| | Vehicle Unit Production | | 2006 Over/(Under) 2005 | |
Ford North America | | | 670 | | | (58 | ) |
Ford Europe | | | 410 | | | 38 | |
PAG | | | 150 | | | (3 | ) |
Projected third quarter 2006 production for our Ford North America segment of 670,000 units represents a decrease of 58,000 units from 2005. The decline reflects lower truck and SUV sales and our intention to maintain appropriate dealer inventory levels. Projected third quarter production for our Ford Europe segment of 410,000 units represents an increase of 38,000 units from last year, primarily reflecting a change in the timing of vacation shutdowns. Projected third quarter production for our PAG segment of 150,000 units is a decrease of 3,000 units from last year.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
In December 2005, we entered into an agreement with the UAW (the "Agreement") 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 this legal challenge. On July 13, 2006, we received the necessary court approval, and cost savings began to accrue as of that date. The projected average annual cost savings from the plan amendment is $650 million, with average annual cash savings of about $200 million. Because the Agreement constitutes a significant plan amendment, accounting rules required us to remeasure the UAW health care plan liability as of July 13, 2006. The Agreement, together with the plan remeasurement (including effects of a higher discount rate and recent health care claims experience), is expected to reduce our OPEB obligation by about $9 billion, which will be reflected beginning with our third quarter 2006 financial statements.
See Note 12 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for a discussion of changes to our retiree VEBA.
We currently anticipate that charges for full-year 2006 special items will be about $3.8 billion. This includes a charge of about $1.6 billion for Jobs Bank Benefits and related voluntary termination charges; the slight improvement in this number reflects our agreement on buyout packages for employees who will be displaced by the idling of our Atlanta Assembly Plant, and agreement on the relocation of a number of our St. Louis Assembly Plant employees. Our projected full-year charges now include about $1.2 billion for pension curtailment losses in North America, primarily related to execution of our Way Forward plan. Other special items reflected in our full-year projection include anticipated charges of about $900 million for additional personnel-reduction programs in North America and 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). We expect these charges to be partially offset by favorable one-time gains of about $200 million, primarily related to our share of a gain Mazda realized on the transfer of its pension liabilities back to the Japanese government. We currently expect the cash payments during 2006 for these special items, and for some similar separation expenses recorded in 2005, to be about $1.5 billion.
We expect our Financial Services sector to 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 expected earnings at Ford Credit. The lower expected earnings at Ford Credit primarily reflect the impact of higher interest rates, lower average receivables levels in its managed portfolio, and higher depreciation expenses for vehicles subject to operating leases due to market weakness for trucks and medium- and large-sized sport utility vehicles. We anticipate Ford Credit's managed receivables will be about $145 billion at year-end 2006.
As disclosed in our 2005 10-K Report, in January 2006 we began implementing a business improvement plan for our North American Automotive operations, which we refer to as the Way Forward plan. Among other things, the plan included idling 14 manufacturing facilities in North America by 2012 and reducing manufacturing employment by 25,000 to 30,000 people during the same period. As we announced in July 2006, given worsening market conditions (e.g., shift in consumer preferences away from trucks and SUVs and higher commodity costs), we will be adjusting and accelerating the Way Forward plan to better adapt to these conditions and plan to announce these changes in September 2006.

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 10-K Report.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement reporting of tax positions taken in tax returns. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are assessing the potential impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we have not yet adopted SFAS Nos. 155 and 156 as previously discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 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 value of 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 June 30, 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. Our commodity price risk has also increased as the value of our derivative portfolio increased due to commodity prices increases since December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, the potential decrease in fair value of our derivative portfolio in response to a hypothetical 10% adverse change in underlying commodity prices would be $300 million, compared with $200 million at December 31, 2005.
Interest Rate Risk. There has been no material change in interest rate risk for our Automotive investment portfolio compared with that disclosed in "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2005 10-K 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 June 30, 2006 would reduce Ford Credit's pre-tax net interest income by approximately $78 million over the next twelve months, compared with $40 million at December 31, 2005. In reality, rate changes are rarely instantaneous or parallel.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. William Clay Ford, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, and Donat R. Leclair, Jr., our Chief Financial Officer, 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 June 30, 2006, and each has concluded that such 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. James J. Padilla, formerly Ford's President and Chief Operating Officer, retired from the Company effective July 1, 2006. William Clay Ford, Jr., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, assumed Mr. Padilla's responsibilities and became President and Chief Operating Officer.
Also, Ford Credit replaced its commercial paper administration system, and, as part of an ongoing effort in Europe, replaced its primary wholesale financing receivable system in Germany.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
Environmental Matters.
St. Louis Assembly Plant Enforcement Action (previously reported on page 25 of our 2005 10-K Report). In 2005, the Department of Justice advised us that the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") had referred to it for civil enforcement a matter regarding refrigerants used in several types of process equipment at our St. Louis Assembly Plant. The referral was based on the EPA's belief that the plant did not comply with all of the Clean Air Act’s recordkeeping, testing, and repair requirements related to equipment with regulated refrigerants. Although we believe that we have fully complied with all applicable requirements, we have agreed to pay a civil penalty of $125,000 to resolve this matter.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the second quarter of 2006, we purchased shares of our Common Stock as follows:
Period | | Total Number of Shares Purchased* | | Average Price Paid per Share | | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | | Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs | |
Apr. 1, 2006 through Apr. 30, 2006 | | | 1,799,165 | | $ | 7.48 | | | 0 | | | No publicly announced repurchase program in place | |
May 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006 | | | 2,098,552 | | | 7.04 | | | 0 | | | No publicly announced repurchase program in place | |
Jun. 1, 2006 through Jun. 30, 2006 | | | 1,684,428 | | | 7.09 | | | 0 | | | No publicly announced repurchase program in place | |
Total | | | 5,582,145 | | $ | 7.20 | | | 0 | | | | |
_________
* We currently do not have a publicly announced repurchase program in place. Of the 5,582,145 shares purchased, 5,525,577 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.

ITEM 5. Other Information.
Governmental Standards - Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy
As previously discussed on page 13 of our 2005 10-K Report, 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 EPA's decision not to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles under the federal Clean Air Act. The Supreme Court has now agreed to review the appellate court's ruling, and has set a briefing schedule that spans the late summer and fall of 2006. No date for oral argument has been set, but a decision in the case 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 will participate in the briefing to support the EPA's decision. Separately, the Alliance has also intervened in a Pennsylvania citizens' suit in opposition to an effort to compel the state of Pennsylvania to adopt California motor vehicle standards.
In addition, the Bush administration has requested authority from Congress for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA") to reform passenger car CAFE standards along the same lines as its new fuel economy program for light trucks. New authority from Congress is believed to be required because the federal law governing the fuel economy program imposes greater limitations on NHTSA's ability to regulate the car program than the truck program. Congress is considering various bills in response to the administration's request, some of which would impose additional, burdensome requirements (such as minimum year-over-year percentage increases in the fuel economy standards for cars). Such requirements would be much more onerous than the percentage increases typically required by NHTSA in setting "maximum feasible" standards under current law. If such a bill were enacted, it could threaten Ford's ability to comply with passenger car fuel economy standards in the future.
