NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain reclassifications of previously reported financial information were made to conform to the current presentation. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.
Stock Compensation Plans
     During the first quarter of 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $1.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded approximately $1.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. The stock compensation expense was recorded as follows (in millions):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2007     2006     2007     2006

Selling, general and administrative expenses
    1.7       1.9       3.5       3.2  
 
                       
Total stock compensation expense
  $ 1.7     $ 1.9     $ 3.6     $ 3.2  
 
                       
     Stock Incentive Plans
     In 2006, the Company obtained stockholder approval for the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) under which up to 5,000,000 shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. The 2006 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, to make grants of performance shares, stock appreciation rights, stock options and stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the grants of awards during 2006 effective under the employee and director stock incentive plans described below.
     Employee Plans
     The 2006 Plan encompasses two stock incentive plans to Company executives and key managers. The primary long-term incentive plan is a performance share plan that provides for awards of shares of common stock based on achieving financial targets, such as targets for earnings per share and return on invested capital, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The stock awards are earned over a performance period, and the number of shares earned is determined based on the cumulative or average results for the period, depending on the measurement. Performance periods are consecutive and overlapping three-year cycles and performance targets are set at the beginning of each cycle. In order to transition to the 2006 Plan, the Company established award targets in 2006 for both a one-year and two-year performance period in addition to the normal three-year period. The plan provides for participants to earn from 33% to 200% of the target awards depending on the actual performance achieved, with no shares earned if performance is below the established minimum

target. Awards earned under the performance share plan will be paid in shares of common stock at the end of each performance period. The compensation expense associated with these awards is being amortized ratably over the vesting or performance period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. No compensation expense was recorded associated with the Company’s one-year performance period transition plan during 2006, as no shares were earned as of December 31, 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company granted 507,500 awards under the 2006 Plan for the three-year performance period commencing in 2007 and ending in 2009. Compensation expense recorded with respect to these awards was based upon the stock price as of the grant date. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company reversed approximately $0.7 million of previously recorded compensation expense and ceased recording additional stock compensation expense associated with its two-year performance period transition plan, as it is no longer probable that the target performance levels will be earned. The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $37.38. Performance award transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its target levels of performance under the plan:
         
Shares awarded but not earned at January 1
    642,083  
Shares awarded
    507,500  
Shares forfeited or unearned
    (149,083 )
Shares earned
     
 
     
Shares awarded but not earned at June 30
    1,000,500  
 
     
     As of June 30, 2007, the total compensation cost related to unearned performance awards not yet recognized, assuming minimum thresholds of performance are achieved, was approximately $7.7 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.
     In addition to the performance share plan, certain executives and key managers are eligible to receive grants of stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SSARs”) or incentive stock options depending on the participant’s country of employment. The SSARs provide a participant with the right to receive the aggregate appreciation in stock price over the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock. The participant may exercise his or her SSAR at any time after the grant is vested but no later than seven years after the date of grant. The SSARs vest ratably over a four-year period from the date of grant. SSAR award grants made to certain executives and key managers under the 2006 Plan are made with the base price equal to the price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company granted 224,500 SSAR awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The compensation expense associated with these awards is being amortized ratably over the vesting period. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of SSARs granted under the 2006 Plan and the weighted average assumptions under the Black-Scholes option model were as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2007:
         
    Six Months

    31.23  
     At June 30, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual life of SSARs outstanding was approximately six years and there were 24,625 SSARs currently exercisable with an exercise price of $23.80 and an aggregate intrinsic value of $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2007, the total compensation cost related to unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $3.8 million and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.
     The following table sets forth the exercise price range, number of shares, weighted average exercise price, and remaining contractual lives by groups of similar price:
                                         
    SSARs Outstanding   SSARs Exercisable
            Weighted Average   Weighted   Exercisable   Weighted
            Remaining   Average   as of   Average

$23.80 — $26.00
    188,688       5.8     $ 23.90       24,625     $ 23.80  
$37.38
    224,500       6.6     $ 37.38            
 
                                       
 
    413,188                       24,625          
 
                                       
     The total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.5 million and the total fair value of shares vested during the same period was $0.4 million. The Company did not realize a tax benefit from the exercise of these SSARs. There were 388,563 SSARs that were not vested as of June 30, 2007. The total intrinsic value of outstanding SSARs as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $5.0 million.
     Director Restricted Stock Grants
     The 2006 Plan provides $25,000 in annual restricted stock grants to all non-employee directors effective on the first day of each calendar year. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years, but are not subject to forfeiture. In the event a director departs from the Board of Directors, the non-transferability period would expire immediately. The plan allows for the director to have the option of forfeiting a portion of the shares awarded in lieu of a cash payment contributed to the participant’s tax withholding to satisfy the participant’s statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes which would be payable at the time of grant. The January 1, 2006 grant equated to 11,550 shares of common stock, of which 8,832 shares of common stock were issued, after shares were withheld for withholding taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2006 associated with these grants. The January 1, 2007 grant equated to 8,080 shares of common stock, of which 6,346 shares of common stock were issued, after shares were withheld for withholding taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2007 associated with these grants.
     As of June 30, 2007, of the 5,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, 2,544,571 shares

were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.
     Stock Option Plan
     The Company’s Option Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options to officers, employees, directors and others. The stock option exercise price is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors except in the case of an incentive stock option for which the purchase price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. Each recipient of stock options is entitled to immediately exercise up to 20% of the options issued to such person, and the remaining 80% of such options vest ratably over a four-year period and expire no later than ten years from the date of grant.
     There were no grants under the Company’s Option Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company does not intend to make any grants under the Option Plan in the future. Stock option transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were as follows:

     Former Non-employee Director Stock Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan
     In December 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors elected to terminate the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan and its Non-employee Director Incentive Plan, and the outstanding awards under those plans were cancelled. Awards cancelled prior to December 31, 2005 did not result in any compensation expense under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” However, awards cancelled after January 1, 2006 were subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, and, therefore, the Company recorded approximately $1.3 million of stock compensation expense during the first quarter of 2006 associated with those cancellations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to understand more easily the effect on earnings of a company’s choice to use fair value. It also requires companies to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which a company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to guidance regarding U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations for its 2008 fiscal year.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position AUG AIR-1 “Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities” (“FSP AUG AIR-1”). FSP AUG AIR-1 amends the guidance on the accounting for planned major maintenance activities; specifically it precludes the use of the previously acceptable “accrue in advance” method. FSP AUG AIR-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, as the Company does not employ the “accrue in advance” method.
     In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”), which requires the application of the provisions of SFAS No. 106 “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“SFAS No. 106”), to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. SFAS No. 106 would require the Company to recognize a liability for the discounted future benefit obligation that the Company will have to pay upon the death of the underlying insured employee. An endorsement-type arrangement generally exists when the Company owns and controls all incidents of ownership of the underlying policies. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company may have certain insurance policies subject to the provisions of this new pronouncement, but does not believe the adoption of EITF 06-4 will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position during its 2008 fiscal year.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. See Note 8 where the adoption of FIN 48 is discussed.

     In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in specified situations. Such servicing assets or liabilities would be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and subsequently measured at amortized value or fair value based upon an election of the reporting entity. SFAS No. 156 also specifies certain financial statement presentations and disclosures in connection with servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006 and may be adopted earlier but only if the adoption is in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
     In March 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-3”), which allows companies to adopt a policy of presenting taxes in the income statement on either a gross or net basis. Taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3 would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller and a customer; for example, sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes, and some types of excise taxes. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not impact the method for recording and reporting these taxes in the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position, as the Company’s policy is to exclude all such taxes from net sales and present such taxes in the consolidated statements of operations on a net basis.
2. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER INFREQUENT EXPENSES
     During the second quarter of 2007, the Company announced the closure of its Valtra sales office located in France. The closure will result in the termination of approximately 13 employees. The Company recorded severance costs of approximately $0.2 million associated with the closure during the second quarter of 2007. None of the severance costs had been paid as of June 30, 2007 and none of the employees had been terminated. The severance costs and related terminations are expected to be paid and completed during 2008.
     During the third quarter of 2006, the Company announced the closure of two sales offices located in Germany, including a Valtra sales office. The closures will result in the termination of approximately 13 employees. The Company recorded severance costs of approximately $0.5 million associated with the closures during 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded and paid employee relocation costs associated with the rationalizations of approximately $0.1 million. Approximately $0.2 million of the severance costs accrued had been paid as of June 30, 2007 and four of the employees had been terminated. The $0.3 million of severance costs accrued at June 30, 2007 are expected to be paid during 2007.
     During the second quarter of 2005, the Company announced that it was changing its distribution arrangements for its Valtra and Fendt products in Scandinavia by entering into a distribution agreement with a third-party distributor to distribute Valtra and Fendt equipment in Sweden and Valtra equipment in Norway and Denmark. As a result of this agreement and the decision to close other Valtra European sales offices, the Company initiated the restructuring and closure of its Valtra sales offices located in the United Kingdom, Spain, Denmark and Norway, resulting in the termination of approximately 24 employees. The Danish and Norwegian sales offices were transferred to the third-party Scandinavian equipment distributor in October 2005, which included the transfer of certain employees, assets and lease and supplier contracts. The Company recorded severance costs, asset write-downs and other facility closure costs of approximately $0.4 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to these closures during 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed the sale of property, plant and equipment associated with the sales offices in the United Kingdom and Norway and recorded a gain of approximately $0.2 million, which was reflected within “Restructuring and other infrequent expenses” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company recorded an additional $0.1 million of severance costs related to these closures. As of December 31, 2006, all of the employees had been terminated and all severance and other facility closure costs had been paid.
     During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company initiated the restructuring of certain administrative functions within its Finnish tractor manufacturing operations, resulting in the termination of approximately 58

employees. During 2004, the Company recorded severance costs of approximately $1.4 million associated with this rationalization. During 2005, the Company paid approximately $0.8 million of severance costs. As of March 31, 2006, all of the 58 employees had been terminated. The $0.6 million of severance payments accrued at June 30, 2007 are expected to be paid through 2009.

     SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” establishes a method of testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s annual assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets exists. Fair values are derived based on an evaluation of past and expected future performance of the Company’s reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (e.g., a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and the Company’s executive management team regularly reviews the operating results of that component. In addition, the Company combines and aggregates two or more components of an operating segment as a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company’s reportable segments reported under the guidance of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” are not

its reporting units, with the exception of its Asia/Pacific geographical segment.
     The Company utilized a combination of valuation techniques, including a discounted cash flow approach and a market multiple approach, when making its annual and interim assessments. As stated above, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and more often if indications of impairment exist. The Company conducts its annual impairment analyses as of October 1 each fiscal year.
     The Company amortizes certain acquired intangible assets primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to 30 years.

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Market is net realizable value for finished goods and repair and replacement parts. For work in process, production parts and raw materials, market is replacement cost. Cash flows related to the sale of inventories are reported within “Cash flows from operating activities” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
     Inventories at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were as follows (in millions):

     The Company’s agricultural equipment products are generally warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one to four years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience.
7. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
     The computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share assumes exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive.
     The Company’s $201.3 million aggregate principal amount of 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and its $201.3 million aggregate principal amount of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the new notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

     There were SSARs to purchase 0.2 million shares for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they had an antidulitve impact. There were SSARs and options to purchase 0.3 million and 0.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the SSAR and option exercise prices were higher than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the related period.
8. INCOME TAXES
     The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no material adjustment with respect to liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had $12.9 million of unrecognized income tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $2.8 million of current accrued taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months.
     The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $0.8 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions.
     The tax years 2001 through 2006 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and other certain foreign taxing jurisdictions, primarily the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil.
9. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
     The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.
     The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in

14


Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued

hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.
Foreign Currency Risk
     The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland, Brazil and Denmark, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian Real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar.
     The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency forward and option contracts. The Company’s hedging policy prohibits foreign currency forward contracts for speculative trading purposes.
     The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These forward contracts are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on such contracts are historically substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged. Changes in the fair value of non-designated derivative contracts are reported in current earnings.
     During 2006 and 2007, the Company designated certain foreign currency option contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income, with the cumulative gain or loss subsequently reclassified into net sales during the same period as the sales are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign exchange rates on the related sale transactions. The amount of the gain recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified to net sales during the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $4.0 million on an after-tax basis. The amount of the gain recorded to other comprehensive loss related to the outstanding cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $0.1 million. The outstanding contracts range in maturity from July of 2007 through April of 2008.
     The following table summarizes activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives held by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2007 (in millions):
                         
    Before-Tax     Income     After-Tax

Accumulated derivative net gains as of June 30, 2007
  $ 0.1     $     $ 0.1  
 
                 
     The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. These policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

11. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION
     At June 30, 2007, the Company had accounts receivable securitization facilities in the United States, Canada and Europe totaling approximately $485.4 million. Under the securitization facilities, wholesale accounts receivable are sold on a revolving basis to commercial paper conduits either through a wholly-owned special purpose U.S. subsidiary or a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) in the United Kingdom. The Company accounts for its securitization facilities and its wholly-owned special purpose U.S. subsidiary in accordance with SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” (“SFAS No. 140”), and FIN No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — An Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”). Due to the fact that the receivables sold to the commercial paper conduits are an insignificant portion of the conduits’ total asset portfolios and such receivables are not siloed, consolidation is not appropriate under FIN 46R, as the Company does not absorb a majority of losses under such transactions. In Europe, the commercial paper conduit that purchases a majority of the receivables is deemed to be the majority beneficial interest holder of the QSPE, and thus consolidation by the Company is not appropriate under FIN 46R, as the Company does not absorb a majority of losses under such transactions. In addition, these facilities are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 140.
     Outstanding funding under these facilities totaled approximately $435.4 million at June 30, 2007 and $429.6 million at December 31, 2006. The funded balance has the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. Losses on sales of receivables primarily from securitization facilities included in other expense, net were $10.2 million and $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $16.8 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively . The losses are determined by calculating the estimated present value of receivables sold compared to their carrying amount. The present value is based on historical collection experience and a discount rate representing the spread over LIBOR as prescribed under the terms of the agreements.
     During the second quarter of 2005, the Company completed an agreement to permit transferring, on an ongoing basis, the majority of its wholesale interest-bearing receivables in North America to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., its U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. The Company has a 49% ownership interest in these joint ventures. The transfer of the receivables is without recourse to the Company, and the Company continues to service the receivables. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of interest-bearing receivables transferred to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. under this agreement was approximately $99.0 million compared to approximately $124.1 million as of December 31, 2006.
12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
     The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees, principally in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, Norway, France, Australia and Argentina. The Company also provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for certain employees, principally in the United States, as well as a supplemental executive retirement plan, which is an unfunded plan that provides Company executives with retirement income for a period of ten years after retirement.

The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for 2007 to its defined benefit pension plans will aggregate approximately $28.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company made approximately $1.0 million of contributions to its U.S.-based postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The Company currently estimates that it will make approximately $2.2 million of contributions to its U.S.-based postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans during 2007.
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
     The Company has four reportable segments: North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific. Each regional segment distributes a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each regional segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and assets as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows (in millions):

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company has recorded a reserve of approximately $18.0 million and $20.0 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT taxes receivable as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to collect the amounts outstanding.
     The Company is a party to various legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial condition.
     As disclosed in Item 3 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in February 2006, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC in connection with a non-public, fact-finding inquiry entitled “In the Matter of Certain Participants in the Oil for Food Program.” This subpoena requested documents concerning transactions in Iraq under the United Nations Oil for Food Program by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. Subsequently the Company was contacted by the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) regarding the same transactions, although no subpoena or other formal process has been initiated by the DOJ. Similar inquiries have been initiated by the Danish and French governments regarding two of the Company’s subsidiaries. The inquiries arose from sales of approximately $58.0 million in farm equipment to the Iraq ministry of agriculture between 2000 and 2002. The SEC’s staff has asserted that certain aspects of those transactions were not properly recorded in the Company’s books and records. The Company is cooperating fully in these inquiries. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these inquiries or their impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcomes were adverse the Company could be required to pay fines and make other payments as well as take appropriate remedial actions.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
     Our operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the agricultural industry. Sales of our equipment have been and are expected to continue to be affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and general economic conditions. We record sales when we sell equipment and replacement parts to our independent dealers, distributors or other customers. To the extent possible, we attempt to sell products to our dealers and distributors on a level basis throughout the year to reduce the effect of seasonal demands on manufacturing operations and to minimize our investment in inventory. Retail sales by dealers to farmers are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, our net sales have historically been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     For the three months ended June 30, 2007, we generated net income of $63.8 million, or $0.67 per share, compared to net income of $40.9 million, or $0.45 per share, for the same period in 2006. For the first six months of 2007, we generated net income of $88.3 million, or $0.93 per share, compared to net income of $58.2 million, or $0.64 per share, for the same period in 2006.
     Net sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2007 were $1,711.4 million and $3,044.0 million, respectively, which were approximately 18% and 16% higher than the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively, primarily due to sales growth in South America and Europe as well as the impact of currency translation.
     Second quarter income from operations was $110.6 million in 2007 compared to $82.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. Income from operations was $156.2 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $126.5 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to the increase in net sales, as well as the result of improved operating margins.
     Income from operations increased in our Europe/Africa/Middle East region in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 primarily due to improved sales, currency translation and cost reduction initiatives. In the South America region, income from operations increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 due to increased sales volumes resulting from stronger market conditions, primarily in the major market of Brazil. The higher sales volumes combined with ongoing process improvements resulted in improved operating margins in the region for the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to 2006. Income from operations in North America was lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 primarily due to negative currency impacts on products sourced from Brazil and Europe, as well as higher engineering expenses. Income from operations in our Asia/Pacific region was lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 where drought conditions in Australia have impacted demand for higher margin products such as combines and high horsepower tractors.
Retail Sales
     In North America, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2007 increased approximately 1% compared to the first six months of 2006 resulting from increases in the utility and high horsepower tractor segments largely offset by a decrease in the compact tractor segment. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2007 were approximately 6% higher than the prior year period. Higher commodity prices and improving farmer sentiment in North America contributed to continued improvement in retail demand in the first six months of 2007. Our unit retail sales of tractors and combines were lower in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)
 
     In Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2007 increased approximately 3% compared to the prior year period. Retail demand improved in Central and Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and France, but declined in Germany, Italy and Spain. Industry retail sales are benefiting from higher farm income in 2006 and continued strong growth in Eastern and Central Europe. Our unit retail sales were also higher in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
     South American industry unit retail sales of tractors in the first six months of 2007 increased approximately 35% over the prior year period. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2007 were approximately 44% higher than the prior year period. Retail sales of tractors and combines in the major market of Brazil increased approximately 43% and 98%, respectively, during the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The sugar cane sector remains strong in Brazil and improved commodity prices have resulted in increased industry demand. Our South American unit retail sales of tractors and combines were also higher in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
     Outside of North America, Europe and South America, net sales for the first six months of 2007 were relatively flat compared to the prior year period due to higher sales in Africa and Asia, offset by lower sales in Australia and the Middle East.
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
     Net sales for the second quarter of 2007 were $1,711.4 million compared to $1,450.5 million for the same period in 2006. Net sales for the first six months of 2007 were $3,044.0 million compared to $2,620.3 million for the prior year period. For the first six months of 2007, net sales increased in all four of AGCO’s geographical segments, with a significant percentage increase in South America, where improved market conditions in Brazil led to higher sales. Foreign currency translation positively impacted net sales by approximately $98.3 million, or 6.8%, in the second quarter of 2007 and by $173.9 million, or 6.6%, in the first six months of 2007. The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the impact to net sales of currency translation by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

     Regionally, net sales in North America decreased during the second quarter of 2007 and increased slightly during the first six months of 2007. Retail inventory reduction efforts in North America continued to lower our dealer shipments during the second quarter of 2007. In the Europe/Africa/Middle East region, net sales increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2007 primarily due to sales growth in Eastern Europe, France and Finland. Net sales in South America increased significantly during the second quarter and first six months of 2007 primarily as a result of stronger market conditions in the region, predominantly in Brazil. In the Asia/Pacific region, net sales decreased slightly in the second quarter of 2007 and were relatively flat in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 due to sales growth in Asia, partially offset by weaker market conditions and lower sales in Australia due to continued drought conditions. We estimate that consolidated price increases during the second quarter and the first six months of 2007 contributed approximately 2% to the increase in sales in both periods. Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised approximately 72% and 70% of our net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, increased approximately 21% and 19% in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. Unit sales of tractors and combines increased approximately 9% during both the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. The difference between the unit sales increase and the increase in net sales was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.

     Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased slightly during the second quarter of 2007 and decreased during the first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year, primarily due to sales and brand mix as well as currency impacts. Lower margins in North America were primarily a result of negative currency impacts on products sourced from Brazil and Europe. In addition, our year-to-date margins were impacted by a weaker sales mix in our Europe/Africa/Middle East region during the first quarter of 2007, as a result of the phasing and controlled roll-out of a new high horsepower tractor series as well as a result of supplier constraints experienced at our German manufacturing facility. During the second quarter of 2007, production at our German manufacturing facility returned to more normal levels, resulting in an improved sales mix and margins in the

region. The supplier constraints that limited our production and sales in the first quarter improved in the second quarter but remain a concern for the balance of 2007. We are working with our existing suppliers to prepare them for projected demand levels and we are also qualifying new suppliers to mitigate future supply constraints. If additional supplier constraints occur, they could negatively impact our future results. We recorded approximately $0.1 million of stock compensation expense, within cost of goods sold, during the first six months of 2007, as is more fully explained in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year primarily due to higher sales and spending control initiatives. We recorded approximately $1.7 million and $3.5 million of stock compensation expense, within SG&A, during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, as is more fully explained in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Engineering expenses increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2007 compared to the prior year, as a result of continued spending to fund product improvements and cost reduction projects.
     We recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $0.3 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, primarily related to severance and employee relocation costs associated with our rationalization of our Valtra sales office located in France, as well as our rationalization of certain parts, sales and marketing and administration functions in Germany. During the second quarter and first six months of 2006, we recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily related to severance costs associated with the rationalization of certain Valtra European sales offices located in Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of restructuring activities.
     Interest expense, net was $7.5 million and $14.2 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to $14.3 million and $27.9 million for the comparable periods in 2006 due to the reduction in debt levels from 2006. In December 2006, we issued $201.3 million of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes. The net proceeds received from the issuance of the notes, as well as available cash on hand, were used to repay a portion of our outstanding United States dollar and Euro denominated term loans, which bear a higher variable interest rate. In June 2007, we repaid the remaining balances of our outstanding United States dollar and Euro denominated term loans with available cash on hand.
     Other expense, net was $9.5 million and $18.1 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to $10.3 million and $16.8 million for the same periods in 2006. Losses on sales of receivables, primarily under our securitization facilities, were $10.2 million and $16.8 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to $7.3 million and $13.8 million for the same periods in 2006. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates in 2007 compared to 2006.
     We recorded an income tax provision of $36.1 million and $48.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to $22.1 million and $34.7 million for the comparable periods in 2006. The effective tax rate was 38.6% and 39.5% for the second quarter and first six months of 2007, respectively, compared to 38.1% and 42.4% in the comparable prior year periods. Our effective tax rate was negatively impacted in both periods by losses in the United States, where we recorded no tax benefit.
RECENT PENDING JOINT VENTURE
     On June 25, 2007, we announced that, subject to the approval of the competition authorities, we have agreed to acquire 50% of Laverda S.p.A. from the Italian ARGO group for approximately 46.0 million (or approximately $62.0 million). Laverda is located in Breganze, Italy and manufactures harvesting equipment. In addition to producing Laverda branded combines, the Breganze factory has been manufacturing mid-range combine harvesters for AGCO’s Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Challenger brands for distribution in Europe, Africa and the Middle East since 2004. The joint venture also includes Laverda’s ownership in Fella-Werke GMBH, a German manufacturer of grass and hay machinery, and its 50% stake in Gallignani S.p.A., an Italian manufacturer of balers. The addition of the Fella and Gallignani product lines enables us to provide a comprehensive harvesting offer to our customers. We intend to finance the purchase price with available cash

on hand. The Laverda acquisition will be evaluated with respect to consolidation in our results of operations and financial position in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     Our financing requirements are subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and receivable levels. Internally generated funds are supplemented when necessary from external sources, primarily our revolving credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facilities.
     Our current financing and funding sources, with balances outstanding as of June 30, 2007, are our 200.0 million (or approximately $270.8 million) principal amount 67/8% senior subordinated notes due 2014, $201.3 million principal amount 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2033, $201.3 million principal amount 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036, approximately $485.4 million of accounts receivable securitization facilities (with approximately $435.4 million in outstanding funding as of June 30, 2007), and a $300.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (with no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2007). For a full description of all of our outstanding notes and facilities refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     On December 4, 2006, we issued $201.3 million of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036 and received proceeds of approximately $196.4 million, after related fees and expenses. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions, as discussed below. The notes provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of our common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an effective price of $40.73 per share, subject to adjustment. Holders may convert the notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter, if the closing sales price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business day period after a five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per note for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions.
     On June 29, 2005, we exchanged our $201.3 million of 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2033 for new notes which provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted new notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of our common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the new notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 10, 2010, but otherwise are substantially the same as the old notes. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions, as discussed below. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an effective price of $22.36 per share, subject to adjustment. Holders may convert the notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter, if the closing sales price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five business day period after a five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per note for each day of that period was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate; (3) if the notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions.
     The 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will impact the diluted weighted average shares outstanding in future periods depending on our stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method. On July 25, 2007, the FASB directed its staff to prepare a proposed FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) that would require the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The

proposed FSP would be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance in the proposed FSP would be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. If the FSP is approved by the FASB, it is likely that the interest expense related to our convertible notes will increase significantly.
     As of December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, the closing sales price of our common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of $22.36 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007, and, therefore, we classified the 13/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as a current liability. Future classification of the notes between current and long-term debt is dependent on the closing sales price of our common stock during future quarters. We believe it is unlikely the holders of the notes will convert the notes under the provisions of the indenture, as typically convertible securities are not converted prior to expiration unless called for redemption, thereby requiring us to repay the principal portion in cash. In the event the notes were converted, we believe we could repay the notes with available cash on hand, funds from our existing $300.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, or a combination of these sources.
     On January 5, 2004, we entered into a credit facility that provided for a $300.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, a $300.0 million United States dollar denominated term loan and a 120.0 million Euro denominated term loan. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility is December 2008 and the maturity date for the term loan facility is June 2009. We were required to make quarterly payments towards the United States dollar denominated term loan and Euro denominated term loan of $0.75 million and 0.3 million, respectively (or an amortization of one percent per annum until the maturity date of each term loan). On June 29, 2007, we repaid the remaining balances of our outstanding United States dollar and Euro denominated term loans, totaling $72.5 million and 28.6 million, respectively, with available cash on hand. As of June 30, 2007, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. As of June 30, 2007, we had availability to borrow $291.1 million under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2006, we had total borrowings of $419.4 million under the credit facility, which included $271.0 million under the United States dollar denominated term loan facility, 108.3 million (approximately $138.5 million) under the Euro denominated term loan facility and $9.9 million outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2006, we had availability to borrow $282.3 million under the revolving credit facility.
     Under our securitization facilities, we sell accounts receivable in the United States, Canada and Europe on a revolving basis to commercial paper conduits through a wholly-owned special purpose U.S. subsidiary and a qualifying special purpose entity (“QSPE”) in the United Kingdom. The United States and Canadian securitization facilities expire in April 2009 and the European facility expires in October 2011, but each is subject to annual renewal. The European facility was renewed in October 2006 and restructured so that wholesale receivables are sold through a QSPE. As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate amount of these facilities was $485.4 million. The outstanding funded balance of $435.4 million as of June 30, 2007 has the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. Our risk of loss under the securitization facilities is limited to a portion of the unfunded balance of receivables sold, which is approximately 15% of the funded amount. We maintain reserves for doubtful accounts associated with this risk. If the facilities were terminated, we would not be required to repurchase previously sold receivables but would be prevented from selling additional receivables to the commercial paper conduit.
     These facilities allow us to sell accounts receivables through financing conduits which obtain funding from commercial paper markets. Future funding under securitization facilities depends upon the adequacy of receivables, a sufficient demand for the underlying commercial paper and the maintenance of certain covenants concerning the quality of the receivables and our financial condition. In the event commercial paper demand is not adequate, our securitization facilities provide for liquidity backing from various financial institutions, including Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. These liquidity commitments would provide us with interim funding to allow us to find alternative sources of working capital financing, if necessary.
     In May 2005, we completed an agreement to permit transferring, on an ongoing basis, the majority of our wholesale interest-bearing receivables in North America to our United States and Canadian retail finance joint ventures, AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. We have a 49% ownership interest in these

joint ventures. The transfer of the wholesale interest-bearing receivables is without recourse to AGCO and we will continue to service the receivables. As of June 30, 2007, the balance of interest-bearing receivables transferred to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. under this agreement was approximately $99.0 million compared to approximately $124.1 million as of December 31, 2006.
     Our business is subject to substantial cyclical variations, which generally are difficult to forecast. Our results of operations may also vary from time to time resulting from costs associated with rationalization plans and acquisitions. As a result, we have had to request relief from our lenders on occasion with respect to financial covenant compliance. While we do not currently anticipate asking for any relief, it is possible that we would require relief in the future. Based upon our historical working relationship with our lenders, we currently do not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining that relief.
     Cash flow used in operating activities was $27.1 million for the first six months of 2007 compared to $10.7 million for the first six months of 2006. The use of cash in both periods was primarily due to seasonal increases in working capital.
     Our working capital requirements are seasonal, with investments in working capital typically building in the first half of the year and then reducing in the second half of the year. We had $732.1 million in working capital at June 30, 2007, as compared with $685.4 million at December 31, 2006 and $954.0 million at June 30, 2006. Working capital balances as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 include the classification of the 13/4% convertible notes as current obligations. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at June 30, 2007 were $234.2 million higher than at December 31, 2006 and $40.7 million higher than at June 30, 2006.
     Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2007 were $48.9 million compared to $47.8 million for the first six months of 2006. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2007 will range from approximately $120 million to $130 million and will primarily be used to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products.
     Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total long-term debt divided by the sum of total long-term debt and stockholders’ equity, was 28.8% at June 30, 2007 compared to 34.5% at December 31, 2006.
     From time to time we review and will continue to review acquisition and joint venture opportunities, as well as changes in the capital markets. If we were to consummate a significant acquisition or elect to take advantage of favorable opportunities in the capital markets, we may supplement availability or revise the terms under our credit facilities or complete public or private offerings of equity or debt securities.
     We believe that available borrowings under the revolving credit facility, funding under the accounts receivable securitization facilities, available cash and internally generated funds will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future.
COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Commitments
     We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recognized no material adjustment with respect to liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits. As of the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had $12.9 million of unrecognized income tax benefits. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. As of January 1, 2007, we had approximately $0.8 million of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions. As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $2.8 million of current accrued taxes related to uncertain tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that we expect to settle or pay in the next 12 months. At this time, the settlement period for the noncurrent portion of our income tax liabilities cannot be determined; however it is not expected to be due within the next 12 months. We will include our income tax liabilities in our “Contractual Obligations” table in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Guarantees
     At June 30, 2007, we were obligated under certain circumstances to purchase, through the year 2010, up to $6.3 million of equipment upon expiration of certain operating leases between AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., our retail finance joint ventures in North America, and end users. We also maintain a remarketing agreement with these joint ventures whereby we are obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values, limited to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. We believe that any losses, which might be incurred on the resale of this equipment, will not materially impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
     From time to time, we sell certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to financial institutions throughout the world. We evaluate the sale of such receivables pursuant to the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,” and have determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 140.
     At June 30, 2007, we guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $93.4 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. We believe the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to our financial position.
Other
     At June 30, 2007, we had foreign currency forward contracts to buy an aggregate of approximately $305.5 million United States dollar equivalents and foreign currency forward contracts to sell an aggregate of approximately $255.6 million United States dollar equivalents. All contracts have a maturity of less than one year. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Currency Risk Management” for further information.
Contingencies
     As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), we have recorded a reserve of approximately $18.0 million against our outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT taxes receivable as of June 30, 2007, due to the uncertainty as to our ability to collect the amounts outstanding.
     As disclosed in Item 3 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in February 2006, we received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with a non-public, fact-finding inquiry entitled “In the Matter of Certain Participants in the Oil for Food Program.” See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings” for further discussion of the matter.
OUTLOOK
     2007 farm equipment demand is forecasted to be up from 2006 levels in most of the world’s agricultural markets. Retail farm equipment sales in Western Europe are expected to be relatively flat while growth is projected in Central and Eastern Europe. In South America, recovery of the farming sector in Brazil is expected to result in a strong increase in demand for farm equipment in 2007. Higher cash receipts by North America farmers partially offset by higher input costs are expected to result in growth in industry demand in the high horsepower tractor and combine segments.
     Our net sales for the full year of 2007 are expected to be higher than 2006, driven primarily by stronger market conditions in South America, continued growth in Europe and currency impacts. For the full year, we are targeting earnings improvement resulting primarily from sales growth and lower interest costs. Results in the second half of the year will include spending on strategic investments including increased engineering expenses, plant restructurings, system initiatives, and new market development and distribution expenditures. Earnings growth and focus on working capital reduction for the remainder of the year are expected to produce strong cash flow from operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
     The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates, including those related to reserves, intangible assets, income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, derivative financial instruments and contingencies. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of critical accounting policies and related judgment and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking, including certain statements set forth under the headings “Recent Pending Joint Venture,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Outlook.” Forward looking statements reflect assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events. These statements, which may relate to such matters as financing the Laverda joint venture, industry demand conditions, earnings per share, net sales and income, cash flow from operations, spending on strategic initiatives, interest costs, future capital expenditures, working capital needs and currency translation, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and you can identify certain of these statements, but not necessarily all, by the use of the words “anticipate,” “assumed,” “indicate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “forecast,” “rely,” “expect,” “continue,” “grow” and other words of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
    general economic and capital market conditions;
 
    the worldwide demand for agricultural products;
 
    grain stock levels and the levels of new and used field inventories;
 
    cost of steel and other raw materials;
 
    government policies and subsidies;
 
    weather conditions;
 
    interest and foreign currency exchange rates;
 
    pricing and product actions taken by competitors;
 
    commodity prices, acreage planted and crop yields;
 
    farm income, land values, debt levels and access to credit;
 
    pervasive livestock diseases;

    production disruptions;
 
    supply and capacity constraints;
 
    our cost reduction and control initiatives;
 
    our research and development efforts;
 
    dealer and distributor actions;
 
    technological difficulties; and
 
    political and economic uncertainty in various areas of the world.
Any forward-looking statement should be considered in light of such important factors.
     New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described above emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information except as required by law.

     We have significant manufacturing operations in France, Germany, Brazil, Finland and Denmark, and we purchase a portion of our tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. We also sell products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The majority of our net sales outside the United States are denominated in the currency of the customer location with the exception of sales in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, where net sales are primarily denominated in British pounds, Euros or United States dollars (See “Segment Reporting” in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 for sales by customer location). Our most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, the Brazilian Real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect our results of operations.
     We attempt to manage our transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, we hedge certain, but not all, of our exposures through the use of foreign currency forward and option contracts. Our hedging policy prohibits foreign currency forward contracts for speculative trading purposes. Our translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. Our most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian Real in relation to the United States dollar. When practical, this translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.
     All derivatives are recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument. We currently engage in derivatives that are non-designated derivative instruments. Changes in fair value of non-designated derivative contracts are reported in current earnings. During 2006 and 2007, we designated certain foreign currency option contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income, with the cumulative gain or loss subsequently reclassified into net sales during the same period as the sales are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign exchange rates on the related sale transactions. The amount of the gain recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified to net sales during the year ended December 31, 2006 was approximately $4.0 million on an after-tax basis. The amount of the gain recorded to other comprehensive loss related to the outstanding cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $0.1 million. The outstanding contracts range in maturity from July of 2007 through April of 2008.
     The following is a summary of foreign currency derivative contracts used to hedge currency exposures. All contracts have a maturity of less than one year. The net notional amounts and fair value gains or losses as of June 30, 2007 stated in United States dollars are as follows (in millions, except average contract rate):

     Because these contracts were entered into for hedging purposes, the gains and losses on the contracts would largely be offset by gains and losses on the underlying firm commitment.
Interest Rates
     We manage interest rate risk through the use of fixed rate debt and may in the future utilize interest rate swap contracts. We have fixed rate debt from our senior subordinated notes and our convertible senior subordinated notes. Our floating rate exposure is related to our credit facility and our securitization facilities, which are tied to changes in United States and European LIBOR rates. Assuming a 10% increase in interest rates, interest expense, net and the cost of our securitization facilities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 would have increased by approximately $1.5 million.
     We had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2007, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
     The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     We are a party to various legal claims and actions incidental to our business. We believe that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to our business or financial condition.
     As disclosed in Item 3 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in February 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC in connection with a non-public, fact-finding inquiry entitled “In the Matter of Certain Participants in the Oil for Food Program.” This subpoena requested documents concerning transactions in Iraq under the United Nations Oil for Food Program by AGCO and certain of our subsidiaries. Subsequently we were contacted by the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) regarding the same transactions, although no subpoena or other formal process has been initiated by the DOJ. Similar inquiries have been initiated by the Danish and French governments regarding two of our subsidiaries. The inquiries arose from sales of approximately $58.0 million in farm equipment to the Iraq ministry of agriculture between 2000 and 2002. The SEC’s staff has asserted that certain aspects of those transactions were not properly recorded in our books and records. We are cooperating fully in these inquiries. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these inquiries or their impact, if any, on us; although if the outcomes were adverse we could be required to pay fines and make other payments as well as take appropriate remedial actions.
