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 differ 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 10 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.

Noncontrolling Interests.  We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No. 160") on 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.  SFAS No. 160 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.  Beginning with this quarter, footnote disclosures for our interim financial periods will 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position ("FSP") No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) ("FSP APB 14-1") on January 1, 2009.  FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be settled in cash.  FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments 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 new pronouncement applies to our 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due December 15, 2036 ("Convertible Notes") issued in December 2006.  We have applied the pronouncement retrospectively to all periods presented.

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

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.  During 2008, we purchased $492 million of Ford Credit debt securities for $424 million in cash.  Debt securities with a face and fair value of $135 million matured on January 12, 2009.

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, $357 million and $492 million of debt are reported as Financial Services debt at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  Likewise, included in Automotive marketable securities are $357 million and $492 million at March 31, 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 accrued interest of $9 million and $8 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are included in the Intersector elimination lines on the sector balance sheet.

Presentation of Cash Flows

Wholesale and Other Finance Receivables.  The reconciliation between total sector and consolidated cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations is as follows (in millions):

Sum of sector cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations
  $ (354 )   $ 3,167

Reclassification of finance receivable cash flows from investing to operating for consolidated presentation (b)
    77       (294 )
Consolidated cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations
  $ 4,161     $ 1,027  
__________
(a)
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.

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 loans 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 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 purchase of securities by our Financial Services sector within Cash flows from investing activities of continuing operations.

Ford Acquisition of Ford Credit Debt.  On our consolidated statement of cash flows, the $135 million cash payment from Ford Credit to us related to the maturity of Ford Credit's debt securities discussed in "Presentation of Balance Sheet" 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 $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 debt within Cash flows from financing activities of continuing operations.

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

Liquidity

At March 31, 2009, our Automotive sector had total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $21.6 billion (including about $300 million of Temporary Asset Account securities ("TAA")).

We have experienced substantial negative cash flows in recent periods, and had negative equity of $16.5 billion at March 31, 2009.  Based on our current planning assumptions, we expect net Automotive operating cash flows in 2009 to be negative, but significantly improved from 2008.  The dramatic decline in industry sales volume during 2008, and our reduced production to match demand, had a substantial negative effect on cash flows.  Trade payables and other elements of working capital have improved in the first quarter of 2009 and should continue to improve as industry sales volume stabilizes and begins to grow, contributing to the expected improvement in operating cash flow.

We continue to face many risks and uncertainties, however, related to the global economy, our industry in particular, and the credit environment which could materially impact our plan.  Of these potentialities, we believe that the two risks that are reasonably possible to have a material impact on us are (i) a decline in industry sales volume to levels below our current planning assumptions, and (ii) actions necessary to ensure an uninterrupted supply of materials and components.

Our current planning assumptions forecast that industry sales volume will stabilize in the first half of 2009 and begin to improve soon thereafter, culminating in full-year 2009 U.S. industry sales volume in the lower end of the range of 10.5 million units to 12.5 million units, and industry sales volume for the 19 markets we track in Europe in the range of 13.5 million units to 14.5 million units.  Based on our analysis of the market, we believe that these assumptions are reasonable.  There is a risk, however, that industry sales volume may not stabilize in the United States in the first half of 2009 or begin to improve in the United States and Europe as soon thereafter as we forecast.

In addition to the risk related to industry sales volume, our plan also could be negatively impacted by pressures affecting our supply base.  Our suppliers have experienced increased economic distress due to the sudden and substantial drop in industry sales volume that affected all automobile manufacturers.  Dramatically lower industry sales volumes have made existing debt obligations and fixed cost levels difficult for many suppliers to manage, especially with the tight credit market, resulting in an increase in distressed suppliers and supplier bankruptcies.  As a result, it is reasonably possible that our costs to ensure an uninterrupted supply of materials and components could be higher than our present planning assumptions by a material amount.

We believe that even a combination of these two reasonably possible scenarios, however, as measured by a decline to 9.2 million units in the United States and 11.7 million units in Europe, combined with our assessment of the necessary cost to ensure an uninterrupted supply of materials and components (absent a significant industry event in 2009 such as an uncontrolled bankruptcy of a major competitor or important suppliers to Ford which we believe is remote), would not exceed our present available liquidity.  We believe that the risk of decline in industry sales volume below these levels (i.e., below 9.2 million units in the United States and 11.7 million units in Europe) is remote.  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.

With regard to our Financial Services sector, Ford Credit expects the majority of its funding in 2009 will consist of eligible issuances pursuant to government-sponsored programs.  It is reasonably possible that credit markets could continue to constrain Ford Credit's funding or that Ford Credit will not be eligible for government-sponsored programs.  In these circumstances, Ford Credit could mitigate these funding risks by reducing the amount of finance receivables and operating leases they purchase or originate.  At our current industry sales volume assumption, this would not have a material impact on our going concern analysis.  If industry sales volume were to decline to the reduced levels described above, the risk of Ford Credit not being able to support the sale of Ford products would be remote.

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.

Notwithstanding this conclusion, as previously disclosed in our 2008 Form 10-K Report and our business plan submission to Congress in December 2008, in this environment a number of scenarios could put severe pressure on our short- and long-term Automotive liquidity, including a worsening of the scenarios described above.  We presently believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote.  In such a scenario, however, or in response to other unanticipated circumstances, we could take additional mitigating actions or require additional financing to improve our liquidity.

NOTE 3.  VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We consolidate VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary.  The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.  Conversely, assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not necessarily represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets.

Automotive Sector

VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary:

Activities with the joint ventures described below include purchasing substantially all of the joint ventures' output under a cost-plus-margin arrangement and/or volume dependent pricing.  These contractual arrangements may require us to absorb joint venture losses when production volume targets are not met or allow us, in some cases, to receive bonuses when production volume targets are exceeded.  Described below are the significant VIEs that we consolidated as of March 31, 2009.

AutoAlliance International, Inc. ("AAI") is a 50/50 joint venture with Mazda Motor Corporation ("Mazda") in North America.  AAI is engaged in the manufacture of automobiles on behalf of Ford and Mazda, primarily for sale in North America.

Ford Otomotiv Sanayi Anonim Sirketi ("Ford Otosan") is a 41/41/18 joint venture in Turkey with the Koc Group of Turkey and public investors.  Ford Otosan is the single-source supplier of the Ford Transit Connect model, and an assembly supplier of the Ford Transit van model, both of which we sell primarily in Europe.

Getrag Ford Transmissions GmbH ("GFT") is a 50/50 joint venture with Getrag Deutsche Venture GmbH and Co. KG.  GFT is the primary supplier of manual transmissions for use in our European vehicles.

Getrag All Wheel Drive AB is a 40/60 joint venture between Volvo Cars and Getrag Dana Holding GmbH.  The joint venture produces all-wheel-drive components.  The assets and liabilities associated with this joint venture that were classified during the first quarter of 2009 as held for sale are shown in the table below and are included in the assets and liabilities of Volvo classified as held-for-sale operations in Note 10.

Tekfor Cologne GmbH ("Tekfor") is a 50/50 joint venture with Neumayer Tekfor GmbH.  Tekfor produces transmission and chassis components for use in our vehicles.

Pininfarina Sverige, AB is a 40/60 joint venture between Volvo Cars and Pininfarina, S.p.A.  The joint venture was established to engineer and manufacture niche vehicles.  The assets and liabilities associated with this joint venture that were classified during the first quarter of 2009 as held for sale are shown in the table below and are included in the assets and liabilities of Volvo classified as held-for-sale operations in Note 10.

We also hold interests in certain dealerships, and at March 31, 2009 there were approximately 64 dealerships that were part of our Dealer Development program that are consolidated.  We supply and finance the majority of vehicles and parts of these dealerships, and the operators have a contract to buy our equity interest over a period of time.  See Note 6 for discussion of the impairment of our investment in these assets.

VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary:

In 2005, as part of the transaction to sell our interest in The Hertz Corporation ("Hertz"), we provided cash-collateralized letters of credit to support the payment obligations of Hertz Vehicle Financing LLC, a VIE which is wholly owned by Hertz and of which we are not the primary beneficiary.  The fair value of our obligation related to these letters of credit, which will expire no later than December 31, 2011, was approximately $12 million at March 31, 2009.  For additional discussion of these letters of credit, see Note 16.

We also have investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries determined to be VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary.  These investments, described below, are accounted for as equity-method investments and are included in Equity in net assets of affiliated companies.

Formed in 1995, AutoAlliance (Thailand) Co., Ltd ("AAT") is a 50/50 joint venture with Mazda in Thailand.  AAT is engaged in the manufacturing of automobiles on behalf of Ford and Mazda for both the Thai domestic market and for export markets through Ford and Mazda.  Ford and Mazda share equally the risks and rewards of the joint venture.

Financial Services Sector

VIEs of which Ford Credit is the primary beneficiary:

Ford Credit uses special purpose entities to issue asset-backed securities in securitization transactions to public and private investors, bank conduits, and government programs.  The asset-backed securities are backed by the expected cash flows from finance receivables and our interest in net investments in operating leases that have been legally sold but continue to be recognized by us.  Ford Credit retains interests in its securitization transactions, including senior and subordinated securities issued by VIEs, rights to cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors (e.g., a reserve fund), and residual interests.

As residual interest holder, Ford Credit is exposed to underlying residual and credit risk of the collateral, and may be exposed to interest rate risk.  Ford Credit's exposure does not represent incremental risk to Ford Credit, and was $18.9 billion and $21.1 billion at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  The amount of risk absorbed by Ford Credit's residual interests is generally represented by and limited to the amount of overcollaterization of its assets securing the debt and any cash reserves funded.  For Ford Credit's wholesale transactions, this also includes cash it has contributed to excess funding accounts and its participation interests in VIEs.

Ford Credit generally has no obligation to repurchase or replace any securitized asset that subsequently becomes delinquent in payment or otherwise is in default.  Securitization investors have no recourse to Ford Credit or its other assets for credit losses on the securitized assets, and have no right to require Ford Credit to repurchase their investments.  Ford Credit does not guarantee any asset-backed securities and has no obligation to provide liquidity or contribute cash or additional assets to the VIEs.  In certain instances in the first quarter of 2009, Ford Credit elected to provide additional enhancements or repurchase specific subordinated notes in order to address challenging market conditions.

In certain transactions Ford Credit has dynamic enhancements, where it may elect to support the performance and/or product mix of the transactions by purchasing additional subordinated notes or increasing cash reserves.  Ford Credit's maximum contribution for these transactions was $491 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Although not contractually required, Ford Credit regularly supports its wholesale securitization programs by repurchasing receivables of a dealer from the VIEs when the dealer's performance is at risk, which transfers the corresponding risk of loss from the VIE to Ford Credit.  Ford Credit repurchased $41 million of such receivables in the first quarter of 2009.  In addition, from time to time, Ford Credit supports its revolving wholesale transactions by contributing cash to an excess funding account when receivables fall below the required level in order to continue to finance the receivables.  These cash enhancements ranged from $0 to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2009.

Ford Credit's FCAR Owner Trust retail securitization program (“FCAR”) is a VIE that issues commercial paper and Ford Credit may, on occasion, purchase the debt issued by FCAR.  In October 2008, Ford Credit registered to sell up to $16 billion of FCAR asset-backed commercial paper to the U.S. Federal Reserve's Commercial Paper Funding Facility ("CPFF").  Commercial paper sold to the CPFF is for a term of 90 days and sales can be made through October 30, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, Ford Credit had an outstanding balance of $7 billion of FCAR asset-backed commercial paper issued to the CPFF.  At March 31, 2009, the finance receivables of FCAR supported $10 billion of FCAR's asset-backed commercial paper.

NOTE 3.  VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Continued)

In November 2008, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility ("TALF"), pursuant to which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was authorized to provide up to $200 billion of non-recourse loans to investors in highly-rated asset-backed securities who pledge these securities as collateral for the non-recourse loan.  Asset-backed securities backed by automotive retail, lease, and wholesale finance receivables qualify for the TALF program.  On February 10, 2009, this program was further expanded to $1 trillion by the Consumer & Business Lending Initiative as part of the Financial Stability Plan announced by the U.S. Treasury.  Ford Credit completed a TALF-eligible $3 billion retail transaction in March 2009 through a VIE.

Finance receivables and net investment in operating leases that collateralize the secured debt of the VIE remain on Ford Credit's balance sheet and therefore are not included in the VIE assets shown in the following table.  As of March 31, 2009, the carrying values of the assets were $39.5 billion of retail receivables, $16.7 billion of wholesale receivables, and $13.6 billion of net investment in operating leases.  As of December 31, 2008, the carrying values of the assets were $41.9 billion of retail receivables, $19.6 billion of wholesale receivables, and $15.6 billion of net investment in operating leases.  The liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on Ford Credit's general assets; rather, they represent claims against only the specific securitized assets.  Conversely, these specific securitized assets do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against Ford Credit's general assets.

The total consolidated VIE assets and liabilities reflected on our March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 balance sheets are as follows (in millions):

(b)
Certain notes issued by the VIEs to affiliated companies served as collateral for accessing the European Central Bank ("ECB)" facility.  This external funding of $246 million and $308 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, was not reflected as a liability of the VIEs, but was included in our consolidated liabilities.
 
(c)
The derivative assets of our consolidated VIEs were $59 million and $46 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and the derivative liabilities were $673 million and $808 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

VIEs of which Ford Credit is not the primary beneficiary:

Ford Credit has investments in certain joint ventures determined to be VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary.  These joint ventures provide consumer and dealer financing in their respective markets.  The joint ventures are financed by external debt as well as subordinated financial support provided by the joint venture partners.  The risks and rewards associated with Ford Credit's interests in these joint ventures are based primarily on ownership percentages.  Ford Credit's investments in these joint ventures are accounted for as equity method investments and are included in Other assets.  Ford Credit's maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with these VIEs is limited to its equity investments, which amounted to $137 million and $140 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
