3. Sale of First Nationwide Bank
-----------------------------
On April 14, 1994, an agreement was entered into between First
Nationwide Bank, a Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and First
Madison Bank, FSB ("First Madison") for the sale of substantially
all of the Bank's assets to, and the assumption of substantially
all of the Bank's liabilities by, First Madison. The Bank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Nationwide Financial Corporation
("FNFC"), which in turn is a wholly-owned sub-sidiary of Ford.
The transaction, which is subject to federal regulatory approvals,
is expected to be completed in about six months.
The company recognized in First Quarter 1994 earnings a pre-tax
charge of $475 million and an after-tax charge of $440 million
related to the disposition of FNFC, reflecting the non-recovery of
goodwill and reserves for estimated losses on assets to be
retained or repurchased by FNFC. These assets will be liquidated
over time as market conditions permit. The tax effect of this
transaction takes into account differences between the book and
tax basis of certain assets for which deferred taxes were not
required to be provided under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The
company's income statement includes the results of operations of
FNFC through March 31, 1994. The net assets of FNFC at March 31,
1994 are included in the balance sheet under Financial Services -
Other Assets. Historically, FNFC (including the Bank) has not had
a significant effect on Ford's operating results.
4. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Accordingly, the purchases and sales of trading
securities are included in cash flows from operating activities.
Financial statements for the prior period were not restated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Motor Company
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor
Company and Subsidiaries at March 31, 1994 and the related
consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the periods set forth in
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review
of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated February 1, 1994,
we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
- - --------
Ford Motor Company earned $904 million, or $1.66 per share of
Common and Class B Stock, in the first quarter of 1994. Results
included a charge to net income of $440 million related to the sale of
First Nationwide Bank to First Madison Bank (discussed below). In the
first quarter of 1993, the Company earned $572 million, or $1.02 per
share. Worldwide sales and revenues in the first quarter of 1994 were
$30.4 billion, up $3.6 billion from the first quarter of 1993. Worldwide
factory unit sales of cars and trucks were 1,672,000, up 141,000 units,
or 9%, from a year ago. Stockholders' equity was $16.6 billion at the
end of the first quarter of 1994.
Sale of First Nationwide Bank
- - -----------------------------
On April 14, 1994, an agreement was entered into between First
Nationwide Bank, a Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and First
Madison Bank, FSB ("First Madison") for the sale of substantially all of
the Bank's assets to, and the assumption of substantially all of the
Bank's liabilities by, First Madison. The Bank is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of First Nationwide Financial Corporation ("FNFC"), which in
turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford. The transaction, which is
subject to federal regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in
about six months.
The stated sale price for the Bank is $1.1 billion, slightly higher than
tangible net book value at December 31, 1993. The final settlement,
depending on the actual closing date, is expected to consist of about
$750 million of cash and retention of about $350 million of assets and
tax benefits that are not included in the sale. In total, Ford will retain,
through FNFC, approximately $1.2 billion of commercial real estate and
other assets as of the closing date. These retained assets generally
are of lower quality than those included in the sale. In addition, for the
three-year period ending in November 1996, First Madison has the
option of requiring FNFC to repurchase up to $500 million of the loans
included in the sale that become nonperforming. This repurchase
obligation will be guaranteed by Ford.
The sale resulted in an after-tax charge of $440 million against Ford's
earnings in the first quarter of 1994, reflecting the non-recovery of
goodwill and reserves for estimated losses on the assets to be
retained or repurchased by FNFC. These assets will be liquidated
over time as market conditions permit. Historically, FNFC (including
the Bank) has not had a significant effect on Ford's operating results.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FIRST QUARTER 1994 COMPARED
WITH FIRST QUARTER 1993
Automotive Operations
- - ---------------------
Ford's worldwide Automotive operations earned $955 million in the first
quarter of 1994 on sales of $26.1 billion, compared with $176 million
on sales of $22.7 billion a year ago.
In the U.S., Ford's Automotive operations earned $835 million,
compared with $113 million a year ago. The increase reflected
primarily higher unit volume resulting from higher industry sales.
In the first quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual selling rate
for the U.S. car and truck industry was 15.8 million units (9.3 million
cars and 6.5 million trucks), compared with 13.4 million (8.1 million
cars and 5.3 million trucks) in the first quarter of 1993. Ford's car
share was 21.6% in the first quarter of 1994, down 1.9 points from the
first quarter of 1993. The decline from a year ago reflected lower
shares for Tempo and Topaz. Ford's truck share was 29.4% in the
first quarter of 1994, up 3/10 of a point from the first quarter of 1993.
Higher shares for F-Series, Villager and Aerostar contributed to the
improvement. The combined car and truck share in the first quarter of
1994 was 24.8%, down 9/10 of a point from a year ago.
-10-
Outside the U.S., Automotive operations earned $120 million in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with $63 million a year ago. Ford's
European Automotive operations (excluding Jaguar) earned
$108 million in the first quarter of 1994, compared with $19 million in
the first quarter of 1993. The increase from a year ago reflected
primarily improved margins.
In the first quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual selling rate
for the European car and truck industry was 13.2 million units,
compared with 12.6 million in the first quarter of 1993. The increase
from a year ago reflected primarily higher industry sales in Britain (up
17%). Ford's car share was 12.0% in the first quarter of 1994, up 1/10
of a point from the first quarter of 1993. Ford's truck share was 14.4%
in the first quarter of 1994, down 8/10 of a point from the first quarter
of 1993.
Financial Services Operations
- - -----------------------------
The Company's Financial Services operations lost $51 million in the
first quarter of 1994, including the charge to net income of $440 million
related to the sale of First Nationwide Bank (discussed above). In the
first quarter of 1993, Financial Services operations earned $396 million.
Ford Credit's consolidated net income was $299 million in the first
quarter of 1994, down $16 million from the first quarter of 1993, and
included income from its financing operations and its equity in the net
income of affiliated companies, primarily Ford Holdings. Ford Credit's
financing operations earned $245 million in the first quarter of 1994,
down $21 million from a year ago. Results declined as a result of
lower net interest margins and the non-recurrence of a gain on the
sale of receivables, offset partially by higher levels of earning assets
and favorable credit loss performance. In addition, international
operations managed by Ford Credit earned $63 million in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with $47 million a year ago.
The Associates earned $128 million in the U.S. in the first quarter of
1994, up $17 million from the first quarter of 1993. The improvement
resulted primarily from higher levels of earning assets and improved
net interest margins. In addition, international operations managed by
The Associates earned $18 million in the first quarter of 1994,
compared with $10 million a year ago.
First Nationwide incurred a loss of $484 million in the first quarter of
1994, compared with a loss of $17 million in the first quarter of 1993.
The decline reflected primarily the charge to net income of $440 million
related to the sale of First Nationwide Bank.
American Road earned $17 million in the first quarter of 1994,
compared with $24 million in the first quarter of 1993. The decrease
resulted primarily from lower investment income, partially offset by
improved underwriting experience in extended service plan, floorplan
and dealer plan products. USL Capital earned $21 million in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with $17 million a year ago. The
improvement resulted primarily from higher earning assets and
continued operating cost reductions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Automotive Operations
- - ---------------------
Cash and marketable securities of the Company's Automotive
operations were $11.6 billion at March 31, 1994, up $1.8 billion from
December 31, 1993. The Company paid $272 million in cash
dividends on its Common Stock, Class B Stock, and Preferred Stock
during the first three months of 1994.
Automotive capital expenditures were $1.6 billion in the first three
months of 1994, compared with $1.3 billion for the same period a year
ago.
-11-
At March 31, 1994, Automotive debt totaled $7.9 billion, which was
32% of total capitalization (stockholders' equity and Automotive debt),
compared with $8 billion or 34% of total capitalization at year-end
1993. The decrease in total debt is primarily the result of lower levels
of short-term borrowings.
At March 31, 1994, Ford had long-term contractually committed credit
agreements in the U.S. under which $4.8 billion is available from
various banks at least through June 30, 1998. The entire $4.8 billion
may be used, at Ford's option, by either Ford or Ford Credit. As of
March 31, 1994, these facilities were unused.
Outside the U.S., Ford has additional long-term contractually
committed credit-line facilities of approximately $2.4 billion. These
facilities are available in varying amounts from 1994 through 1998; less
than 1% had been utilized at March 31, 1994.
Financial Services Operations
- - -----------------------------
During the first quarter of 1994, Financial Services' cash and
investments in securities decreased by $3.8 billion, primarily reflecting
the reclassification of the net assets of FNFC to "other assets" as a
result of the pending sale of First Nationwide Bank. Total debt in the
first quarter of 1994 increased by $5.3 billion, primarily to fund higher
receivables levels at Ford Credit.
At March 31, 1994, Financial Services had approximately $26.7 billion
of support facilities (including $4.8 billion of Ford bank lines that may
be used by Ford Credit at Ford's option) available for use in the U.S.,
all of which were contractually committed; less than 2% of these
facilities were in use at that date. At March 31, 1994, an additional
$17 billion of support facilities were available outside the U.S., 48% of
which were contractually committed; approximately $6.4 billion of these
support facilities were in use at March 31, 1994.

Product Matters
- - -----------------------
With respect to the three private purported class action lawsuits
involving the alleged tendency of vehicles to slip from park to reverse,
referred to in the second paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report,
the first such suit, filed in the Superior Court for the District of
Columbia, recently was dismissed at the plaintiff's request and the
court is reviewing the Company's petition for reimbursement of
attorney fees. The second such suit, filed in the Court of Common
Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had been stayed pending the
entry of a final order in the first suit. A motion by the Company to lift
the stay is now pending before the court.
With respect to the lawsuits for damages arising out of automobile
accidents where plaintiffs claim that the injuries resulted from (or were
aggravated by) alleged defects in the occupant restraint systems in
vehicle lines of various model years, referred to in the third paragraph
on page 27 of the 10-K Report, the damages specified by the plaintiffs
in these actions, including both actual and punitive damages,
aggregated approximately $1 billion at April 1, 1994.
With respect to the lawsuits for damages involving the alleged
propensity of Bronco II utility vehicles to roll over, referred to in the
fourth paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report, the damages
specified in these actions, including both actual and punitive damages,
aggregated approximately $794 million at April 1, 1994.
With respect to the lawsuits for damages involving asbestos, referred
to in the sixth paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report, the damages
specified by plaintiffs in these actions, including both actual and
punitive damages, aggregated approximately $165 million at April 1,
1994.
Environmental Matters
- - ---------------------
With respect to the notices from two government environmental
enforcement agencies, each potentially involving monetary sanctions
exceeding $100,000, referred to in the first full paragraph on page 28
of the 10-K Report, Ford has settled the matters. In a separate matter
potentially involving monetary sanctions exceeding $100,000, Ford has
received a notice that a government environmental enforcement
agency believes a Ford facility may violate or have violated limits
established by regulations or permits for emissions or discharges.
Other Matters
- - -------------
With respect to the private purported class action lawsuit relating to
allegations of paint peeling on unspecified vehicles, referred to in the
first paragraph on page 29 of the 10-K Report, in February 1994,
plaintiffs amended their petition to cover a purported class of persons
who purchased certain new or used Ford vehicles in Texas and who
allegedly experienced paint delamination as a result of Ford's use of a
high build electrocoat paint primer process.
Item 5. Other Information
- - --------------------------
Governmental Standards
- - ----------------------
Mobile Source Emissions Control -- With respect to the European
motor vehicle emissions standards discussed in the first paragraph on
page 21 of the 10-K Report, the European Parliament adopted
Directive 94/12/EC which applies more stringent motor vehicle
emission standards to vehicle homologations beginning
January 1, 1996 and to new vehicle registrations beginning
January 1, 1997. These standards are of generally equivalent
numerical stringency to those which began to apply in the U.S. for the
1994 model year. The Directive also provides for the European
Commission to propose by the end of 1994 supplementary reductions
in motor vehicle emissions that would take effect beginning
January 1, 2000. These supplementary reductions would be a
function of technical progress achieved between now and 2000.
Motor Vehicle Fuel Economy -- With respect to the light truck CAFE
standards discussed in the third full paragraph on page 22 of the
10-K Report, the Safety Administration has set the light truck CAFE
standard at 20.7 mpg for both model years 1996 and 1997.
