Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1.  PRINCIPLES OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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.  We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors.  All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector basis financial statements.  Reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note, where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect 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.  The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the 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, 2008 ("2008 Form 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.  All held-for-sale assets and liabilities are excluded from the footnotes unless otherwise noted.  See Note 12 for details of held-for-sale operations.

In the first quarter of 2009, our wholly-owned subsidiary Ford Motor Credit Company LLC ("Ford Credit") recorded a $630 million cumulative adjustment to correct for the overstatement of Financial Services sector cash and cash equivalents and certain accounts payable that originated in prior periods.  The impact on previously-issued annual and interim financial statements was not material.

Subsequent Events.  We evaluated the effects of all subsequent events from the end of the third quarter through November 6, 2009, the date we filed our financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Noncontrolling Interests.  We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") revised standard on accounting for noncontrolling interests on its effective date, January 1, 2009.  This standard establishes accounting and reporting requirements for the noncontrolling interest (formerly "minority interest") in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  The standard clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  The presentation and disclosure requirements of this standard must be applied retrospectively for all periods.  This requirement changed the presentation of our consolidated and sector statements of operations and our consolidated and sector balance sheets.  It also required us to incorporate a consolidated statement of comprehensive income.  Footnote disclosures for our interim financial periods include separate reconciliations of our beginning-of-period to end-of-period equity/(deficit) for Ford and the noncontrolling interests.

Convertible Debt Instruments.  We adopted the FASB's standard on accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement), on its effective date, January 1, 2009.  The standard specifies that issuers of convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled in cash should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate resulting in higher interest expense over the life of the instrument due to amortization of the discount.  This standard applies to our 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due December 15, 2036 ("Convertible Notes") issued in December 2006.  We have applied the standard retrospectively to all periods presented.

Ford Acquisition of Ford Credit Debt.  In connection with our Registration Statement (No. 333-151355) filed on Form S-3 and the related prospectus dated June 2, 2008 and the prospectus supplements dated August 14, 2008 and October 2, 2008, we issued shares of Ford Common Stock from time to time in market transactions and used the proceeds therefrom to purchase outstanding Ford Credit debt securities maturing prior to 2012.  These transactions are summarized as follows:

·
In the second half of 2008, we issued 88,325,372 shares of Ford Common Stock resulting in proceeds of $434 million that we then used to purchase debt of Ford Credit with a carrying value of $492 million and $10 million in related interest.  We recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $68 million on the transaction, recorded in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.
·
On January 12, 2009, $135 million of these debt securities matured.
·
During August 2009, we issued 71,587,743 shares of Ford Common Stock, resulting in proceeds of $565 million that we then used to purchase debt of Ford Credit with a carrying value of $556 million and $9 million in related interest.  A de minimis loss on the extinguishment of the debt was recorded in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.
·
In September 2009, Ford Credit bought back from us $267 million principal amount of its debt securities and $8 million in interest for $276 million in cash.  We recognized an Automotive sector gain of $1 million and Financial Services sector loss of $1 million on the transaction, recorded in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net and Financial Services other income/(loss), net, respectively.
 
At September 30, 2009 the remaining Ford Credit debt securities we purchased had a carrying value of $646 million and an estimated fair value of $650 million.

On our consolidated balance sheet, the remaining debt is no longer reported in our Debt balances.  On our sector balance sheet, the debt is reported as outstanding as it has not been retired or cancelled by Ford Credit.  Accordingly, on our sector balance sheet, $646 million and $492 million of debt are reported as Financial Services debt at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Likewise, included in Automotive marketable securities are $646 million and $492 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, related to Ford's purchase of the Ford Credit debt securities.  Consolidating elimination adjustments for these debt securities and related interest of $11 million and $8 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included in the Intersector elimination lines on the sector balance sheet.

In addition to vehicles sold by us, the cash flows from wholesale finance receivables being reclassified from investing to operating include financing by Ford Credit of used and non-Ford vehicles.  100% of cash flows from wholesale finance receivables have been reclassified for consolidated presentation as the portion of these cash flows from used and non-Ford vehicles is impracticable to separate.
(b)
Includes cash flows of finance receivables purchased/collected from certain divisions and subsidiaries of the Automotive sector.
(c)
See discussion of "Ford Credit Acquisition of Ford Debt" below.

Ford Credit Acquisition of Ford Debt.  During the first quarter of 2009, Ford Credit conducted a cash tender offer for our secured term loan under the secured credit agreement that we entered into with various banks and financial institutions on December 15, 2006 (the "Credit Agreement").  Pursuant to this offer, Ford Credit purchased from lenders thereof $2.2 billion principal amount of term loan for an aggregate cost of $1.1 billion (including transaction costs).  This transaction settled on March 27, 2009, following which Ford Credit distributed the term loan to its immediate parent, Ford Holdings LLC ("Ford Holdings"), whereupon the debt was forgiven.  As a result, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1.1 billion, net of transaction costs, in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.  Approximately $4.6 billion aggregate principal amount of term loan remains outstanding.

On our consolidated statement of cash flows, the $1.1 billion cash outflow related to Ford Credit's purchase of our secured term loan is presented as Principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations.  On our sector statement of cash flows, the cash outflow is presented as Purchases of securities by our Financial Services sector within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations.

During the second quarter of 2009, Ford Credit conducted a cash tender offer for Ford's public unsecured debt securities.  Pursuant to this offer, Ford Credit purchased $3.4 billion principal amount of public unsecured debt securities for an aggregate cost of $1.1 billion (including transaction costs and accrued and unpaid interest payments for such tendered debt securities).  This transaction settled on April 8, 2009, following which Ford Credit transferred the repurchased debt securities to us in satisfaction of $1.1 billion of Ford Credit's tax liabilities to us.  As a result, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2.2 billion, net of unamortized discounts, premiums and fees, in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net.  Approximately $5.6 billion aggregate principal amount of our public unsecured debt securities (including about $100 million of industrial revenue bonds) remains outstanding.

On our consolidated statement of cash flows, the $1.1 billion cash outflow related to Ford Credit's purchase of our public unsecured debt securities is presented as a principal payment on debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations.  On our sector statement of cash flows, the cash outflow is presented as a decrease in taxes payable by our Financial Services sector within Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations.

Ford Acquisition of Ford Credit Debt.  The cash flows related to our acquisition of Ford Credit's debt securities discussed in "Presentation of Balance Sheet" above are presented differently on our consolidated and sector statements of cash flows.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)
 
NOTE 1.  PRINCIPLES OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION (Continued)

As discussed above in "Presentation of Balance Sheet," we purchased $424 million of Ford Credit debt securities during the second half of 2008, $270 million of which was purchased during the third quarter of 2008.  The cash outflow is reclassified from Automotive purchases of securities within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations on our sector statement of cash flows to Principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Also as discussed above, the $135 million cash payment from Ford Credit to us related to the maturity of Ford Credit's debt securities is not shown as a cash outflow on our consolidated statement of cash flows, because the debt was not reported as outstanding on our consolidated balance sheet.  On our sector statement of cash flows, the $135 million cash payment is presented as a cash inflow from Automotive sales and maturities of securities within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations and a cash outflow from Financial Services principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations.

The cash outflow of $556 million related to our acquisition of Ford Credit's debt securities discussed above is reclassified from Automotive purchases of securities within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations on our sector statement of cash flows to Principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

On our consolidated statement of cash flows, the $267 million cash payment from Ford Credit to us related to its repurchase of debt securities from us discussed above is not shown as a cash outflow because the debt was not reported as outstanding on our consolidated balance sheet.  On our sector statement of cash flows, the $267 million cash payment is presented as a cash inflow from Automotive sales and maturities of securities within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations and a cash outflow from Financial Services principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations.

Ford Leasing Acquisition of Ford Debt.  In July 2009, Ford Leasing, LLC ("Ford Leasing"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford, purchased from the lenders under our Credit Agreement $45 million principal amount of our secured term loan thereunder for an aggregate cost of $37 million.  Ford Holdings elected to receive the $37 million from Ford Leasing as a dividend, whereupon the debt was immediately forgiven.  As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $8 million in Automotive interest income and other non-operating income/(expense), net in the third quarter of 2009.

The cash outflow of $37 million is presented differently on our consolidated and sector statements of cash flows.  The cash outflow is reclassified from Financial Services purchases of securities within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations on our sector statement of cash flows to Principal payments on other debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Liquidity
 
At September 30, 2009, our Automotive sector had total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $24.7 billion (including about $700 million of Temporary Asset Account ("TAA") and other securities, and about $200 million of marketable securities for which the cash settlement was not made by September 30, 2009 and for which there was a payable or receivable recorded on the balance sheet).
 
We experienced substantial negative cash flows during 2008, and had negative equity of $7.3 billion at September 30, 2009.  We continue to face many risks and uncertainties related to the global economy, our industry in particular, and the credit environment, which could materially impact our plan.  Our current planning assumptions forecast full-year 2009 U.S. industry sales volume of about 10.6 million units, and industry sales volume of about 15.7 million units for the 19 markets we track in Europe.  We previously have forecasted 2010 industry sales volume of about 12.5 million units in the United States, and estimated a range of 13 to 14.5 million units for the 19 markets we track in Europe; we will update our full-year 2010 planning assumptions when we disclose full-year 2009 results.  Our planning assumptions also include Ford Credit's ability to obtain funding in sufficient amounts to support the sale of Ford vehicles.
 
We believe that all reasonably possible scenarios, including a decline in 2009 – 2010 industry sales volumes to levels below our planning assumptions, or constraints on Ford Credit's ability to execute its funding plan in order to support the sale of Ford products, would not exhaust our presently available liquidity.  Therefore, we do not believe that these reasonably possible scenarios cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next year.
 
Accordingly, we have concluded that there is no substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value, we use various valuation techniques and prioritize the use of observable inputs.  We assess the inputs with which we measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy, based on the extent to which the inputs used are observable in the market as follows:

 
·
Level 1 – inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.
 
·
Level 2 – inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, currency exchange rates and yield curves.
 
·
Level 3 – inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

See Note 16 for a discussion of fair value measurements.

     (3,560 )     (2,617 )
Net finance receivables – consolidated balance sheet
   $ 75,613     $ 93,484  

The fair value of finance receivables is generally calculated by discounting future cash flows using an estimated discount rate that reflects the current credit, interest rate, and prepayment risks associated with similar types of instruments.
