4. Sale of First Nationwide Bank
-----------------------------
On April 14, 1994, an agreement was entered into between First
Nationwide Bank, a Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and First
Madison Bank, FSB ("First Madison") for the sale of substantially
all of the Bank's assets to, and the assumption of substantially
all of the Bank's liabilities by, First Madison. The Bank is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Nationwide Financial Corporation
("FNFC"), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford.
The transaction, which is subject to federal regulatory
approvals, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of
1994.
The Company recognized in First Quarter 1994 earnings a pre-tax
charge of $475 million and an after-tax charge of $440 million
related to the disposition of FNFC, reflecting the non-recovery
of goodwill and reserves for estimated losses on assets to be
retained or repurchased by FNFC. These assets will be liquidated
over time as market conditions permit. The tax effect of this
transaction takes into account differences between the book and
tax basis of certain assets for which deferred taxes were not
required to be provided under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The
Company's income statement includes the results of operations of
FNFC through March 31, 1994. The net assets of FNFC at March 31,
1994 are included in the balance sheet under Financial Services -
Other Assets. Historically, FNFC (including the Bank) has not
had a significant effect on Ford's operating results.

5. Stock Split
-----------
On April 14, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 2-
for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend on the
Company's Common Stock and Class B Stock. The stock split became
effective June 6, 1994, and share data have been restated to
reflect the 2-for-1 stock split.
6. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Accordingly, the purchases and sales of trading
securities are included in cash flows from operating activities.
Financial statements for the prior period were not restated.
7. Acquisition of The Hertz Corporation
------------------------------------
On March 8, 1994, Ford purchased from Commerzbank
Aktiengesellschaft, a German bank, additional shares of common
stock of Hertz aggregating 5% of the total outstanding voting
stock, thereby bringing Ford's ownership of the total voting
stock of Hertz to 54% from 49%. On April 29, 1994, Ford acquired
20% of Hertz' common stock from Park Ridge Limited Partnership,
and Hertz redeemed the common stock (26%) and preferred stock of
Hertz owned by AB Volvo for $145 million; these transactions
resulted in Hertz becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford. In
addition, a $150 million subordinated promissory note of Hertz
held by Ford Credit was exchanged for $150 million of preferred
stock of Hertz. Hertz earned $26 million in the second quarter
of 1994, compared with $6 million a year ago (reflected in Ford's
results on an equity basis).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Motor Company
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor
Company and Subsidiaries at June 30, 1994 and the related
consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the periods set forth in Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review
of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31,
1993 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated February 1, 1994, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements.

On June 6, 1994, a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% stock

In the U.S., Ford's Automotive operations earned $907 million,
compared with $367 million a year ago. The improvement reflected
higher unit volume (as a result of higher truck sales) and improved
margins.
In the second quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual
selling rate for the U.S. car and truck industry was 15.3 million
units compared with 14.6 million in the second quarter of 1993.
Ford's car market share was 21.5% in the second quarter of 1994, up
1/10 of a point from a year ago. Ford's truck share was 30%, down
2/10 of a point from a year ago. Ford's combined car and truck
share was 25%, unchanged from a year ago.
Outside the U.S., Automotive operations earned $276 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with $28 million a year ago. The
improvement reflected primarily higher unit volume in Europe, where
Automotive operations (excluding Jaguar) earned $244 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with a loss of $66 million a year
ago. Earnings were lower in Latin America, where business
conditions historically have been volatile and subject to rapid
change.
In the second quarter of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual
selling rate for the European car and truck industry was
13.1 million units, compared with 12.3 million a year ago. Ford's
car share was 11.6% in the second quarter of 1994, up 5/10 of a
point from a year ago. Ford's truck share was 14.8%, up 2.1
points.
Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
The Company's Financial Services operations earned $528 million in
the second quarter of 1994, compared with $380 million in the
second quarter of 1993. The increase resulted primarily from
improved results at Ford Credit and The Associates, the
consolidation of results for Hertz, and non-recurrence of losses at
First Nationwide.
Ford Credit's consolidated net income was $368 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with $306 million a year ago, and
included income from its financing operations and its equity in the
net income of affiliated companies, primarily Ford Holdings. Ford
Credit's financing operations earned $317 million in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $268 million a year ago. The
improvement reflected higher levels of earning assets, gain on sale
of an interest in Manheim Auctions (an auto auction company), and
lower credit losses, offset partially by lower net interest
margins. Depreciation costs increased as a result of
continued growth in operating leases; the related lease revenues
more than offset the increased depreciation. In addition,
-10-
<PAGE>
international operations managed by Ford Credit earned $50 million
in the second quarter of 1994, equal to a year ago.
The Associates earned $121 million in the U.S. in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $111 million a year ago. The
increase reflected higher levels of earning assets and improved net
interest margins. In addition, international operations managed by
The Associates earned $21 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $10 million a year ago.
On March 8, 1994, Ford purchased from Commerzbank
Aktiengesellschaft, a German bank, additional shares of common
stock of Hertz aggregating 5% of the total outstanding voting
stock, thereby bringing Ford's ownership of the total voting stock
of Hertz to 54% from 49%. On April 29, 1994, Ford acquired 20% of
Hertz' common stock from Park Ridge Limited Partnership, and Hertz
redeemed the common stock (26%) and preferred stock of Hertz owned
by AB Volvo for $145 million; these transactions resulted in Hertz
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford. In addition, a
$150 million subordinated promissory note of Hertz held by Ford
Credit was exchanged for $150 million of preferred stock of Hertz.
Hertz earned $26 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared
with $6 million a year ago (reflected in Ford's results on an
equity basis).
USL Capital earned $27 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $20 million a year ago. American Road earned
$13 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared with
$16 million in the same period in 1993.
On April 14, 1994, an agreement was entered into for the sale of
substantially all of the assets of First Nationwide Bank to First
Madison Bank, referred to in the second through fourth paragraphs
on page 10 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
period ended March 31, 1994 (the "First Quarter 10-Q Report"). The
transaction, which is subject to federal regulatory approvals, is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1994. In the
second quarter of 1993, First Nationwide incurred a loss of
$18 million.
FIRST HALF 1994 COMPARED WITH FIRST HALF 1993
Overview
- --------
Ford earned $2,615 million, or $2.47 per share of Common and Class
B Stock, in the first half of 1994. Results included a charge to
net income of $440 million related to the sale of First Nationwide
Bank to First Madison Bank (discussed above). In the first half of
1993, the Company earned $1,347 million, or $1.23 per share. Fully
diluted earnings per share were $2.20, compared with $1.13 a year
ago. The Company's worldwide sales and revenues were $64.2 billion
in the first half of 1994, up $8 billion from a year ago.
Worldwide factory unit sales of cars and trucks were 3,483,000, up
277,000 or 8%.
Automotive Operations
- ---------------------
Ford's worldwide Automotive operations earned $2,138 million in the
first half of 1994, compared with $571 million in first half of
1993. In the U.S., Ford's Automotive operations earned
$1,742 million, compared with $480 million a year ago. The
improvement reflected higher unit volume (as a result of higher
industry sales) and improved margins.
In the first half of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual selling
rate for the U.S. car and truck industry was 15.5 million units,
compared with 14 million a year ago. Ford's car share was 21.6% in
the first half of 1994, down 7/10 of a point from a year ago. The
decline from a year ago reflected lower shares for Tempo and Topaz.
Ford's truck share was 29.7%, unchanged from a year ago. Ford's
combined car and truck share was 24.9%, down 4/10 of a point. For
the full year, Ford projects U.S. industry sales of about
15.5 million cars and trucks in 1994, compared with 14.2 million
units in 1993.
-11-
<PAGE>
Outside the U.S., Automotive operations earned $396 million in the
first half of 1994, compared with $91 million a year ago. The
improvement reflected primarily higher unit volume, lower
manufacturing costs, and improved margins in Europe. Ford's
European Automotive operations (excluding Jaguar) earned
$352 million in the first half of 1994, compared with a loss of
$47 million a year ago.
In the first half of 1994, the seasonally-adjusted annual selling
rate for the European car and truck industry was 13.1 million
units, compared with 12.4 million units a year ago. Ford's car
share was 11.8%, up 3/10 of a point from a year ago. Ford's truck
share was 14.7%, down 1/10 of a point from a year ago. For the
full year, Ford projects European industry sales of about
13.3 million units in 1994, compared with 12.5 million units in
1993.
Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
The Company's Financial Services operations earned $477 million in
the first half of 1994, compared with $776 million in the first
half of 1993. The decline was more than explained by the charge to
net income of $440 million related to the sale of First Nationwide
Bank. Higher earnings at Ford Credit and The Associates and the
consolidation of results for Hertz were partial offsets.
Ford Credit's consolidated net income was $667 million in the first
half of 1994, compared with $621 million a year ago. Net income
from financing operations was $562 million, compared with
$534 million a year ago. The improvement reflected primarily the
same factors as those described in the discussion of second quarter
results of operations. International operations managed by Ford
Credit earned $113 million in the first half of 1994, compared with
$97 million a year ago.
The Associates earned $249 million in the U.S. in the first half of
1994, compared with $222 million a year ago. The improvement
reflected primarily the same factors as those described in the
discussion of second quarter results of operations. In addition,
international operations managed by The Associates earned
$39 million in the first half of 1994, compared with $20 million a
year ago.
Hertz earned $25 million in the first half of 1994, compared with
$3 million a year ago (reflected in Ford's results on an equity
basis).
USL Capital's net income in the first half of 1994 was $48 million,
compared with $37 million a year ago. American Road earned $30
million in the first half of 1994, compared with $39 million a year
ago.
First Nationwide incurred a loss of $484 million in the first half
of 1994, including a charge of $440 million related to the sale of
First Nationwide Bank. First Nationwide incurred a loss of
$35 million in the first half of 1993.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Automotive Operations
- ---------------------
Cash and marketable securities of the Company's Automotive
operations were $13.7 billion at June 30, 1994, up $3.9 billion
from December 31, 1993. The amount of cash and marketable
securities is expected to decline during the second half of the
year because of normal new-model changeover and launch and higher
capital spending (discussed below). The Company paid $569 million
in cash dividends on its Common Stock, Class B stock, and Preferred
Stock during the first six months of 1994.
Automotive capital expenditures were $3.5 billion in the first six
months of 1994, compared with $2.9 billion a year ago. Automotive
capital spending is projected to increase further during the second
half of the year as a result of increases in both product and non-
product spending.
-12-<PAGE>
The higher product spending reflects a record pace of new-model
introductions, while non-product spending reflects efforts to
improve efficiency and quality and increase capacity for selected
components and vehicles.
Automotive debt at June 30, 1994 totaled $7.3 billion, which was
28% of total capitalization (stockholders' equity and Automotive
debt), compared with $8 billion, or 34% of total capitalization, at
year-end 1993. The decrease in total debt is primarily the result
of lower levels of short-term borrowings.
At June 30, 1994, Ford had long-term contractually committed credit
agreements in the U.S. under which $4.8 billion is available from
various banks at least through June 30, 1999. The entire
$4.8 billion may be used, at Ford's option, by either Ford or Ford
Credit. As of June 30, 1994, these facilities were unused. At
July 1, 1994, these credit agreements were increased to
$5.9 billion.
Outside the U.S., Ford has additional long-term contractually
committed credit-line facilities of approximately $2.4 billion.
These facilities are available in varying amounts from 1994 through
1999; less than 1% was used at June 30, 1994.
Financial Services Operations
- -----------------------------
Financial Services' cash and investments in securities totaled
$8.2 billion at June 30, 1994, down $2.6 billion from December 31,
1993. The decline reflected primarily the reclassification of
First Nationwide's net assets to "other assets" as a result of the
pending sale.
Net receivables and lease investments were $120.9 billion at June
30, 1994, up $1.4 billion from December 31, 1993. The increase
reflected continued growth in earning assets at Ford Credit and The
Associates, offset partially by the reclassification of First
Nationwide's net assets.
Total debt was $116.3 billion at June 30, 1994, up $12.3 billion
from December 31, 1993. The increase resulted from higher debt
levels required to finance growth in earning assets at Ford Credit
and The Associates, as well as the consolidation of Hertz; the
reclassification of First Nationwide's net assets was a partial
offset.
At June 30, 1994, Financial Services had approximately
$27.8 billion of support facilities available for use in the U.S.
(including $4.8 billion of Ford bank lines that may be used by Ford
Credit at Ford's option), 98% of which were contractually
committed; less than 2% of these facilities were in use at that
date. An additional $17.5 billion of support facilities were
available outside the U.S., 47% of which were contractually
committed; approximately $7.2 billion of these support facilities
were in use at June 30, 1994.

Part II. Other Information
---------------------------
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
Product Matters
- ---------------
With respect to the lawsuits for damages arising out of automobile
accidents where plaintiffs claim that the injuries resulted from
(or were aggravated by) alleged defects in the occupant restraint
systems in vehicle lines of various model years, referred to in the
third paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report and on page 13 of the
First Quarter 10-Q Report, the damages specified by the plaintiffs
in these actions, including both actual and punitive damages,
aggregated approximately $905 million at June 30, 1994.
With respect to the lawsuits for damages involving the alleged
propensity of Bronco II utility vehicles to roll over, referred to
in the fourth paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report and on page
13 of the First Quarter 10-Q Report, the damages specified in these
actions, including both actual and punitive damages, aggregated
approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 1994.
With respect to the lawsuits for damages involving asbestos,
referred to in the sixth paragraph on page 27 of the 10-K Report
and on page 13 of the First Quarter 10-Q Report, the damages
specified by plaintiffs in these actions, including both actual and
punitive damages, aggregated approximately $213 million at June 30,
1994.
Environmental Matters
- ---------------------
In addition to the notice from the government environmental
enforcement agency, potentially involving monetary sanctions
exceeding $100,000, referred to on page 13 of the First Quarter
10-Q Report, in a separate matter potentially involving monetary
sanctions exceeding $100,000, Ford has received a notice that a
government environmental enforcement agency believes a Ford
facility may have violated waste handling or disposal requirements.
Other Matters
- -------------
With respect to the challenge by a French manufacturer of the
antitrust approval by the European Commission of the joint venture
between Ford of Germany and Volkswagen AG to produce a multi-
purpose vehicle, referred to in the third paragraph on page 29 of
the 10-K Report, on July 15, 1994, the European Court of First
Instance rejected the French manufacturer's complaint against the
European Commission's decision to grant antitrust approval of the
joint venture. The French manufacturer can, however, appeal this
decision to the European Court of Justice.

Item 5. Other Information
- --------------------------
Governmental Standards
- ----------------------
Mobile Source Emissions Control -- The Clean Air Act requires the
EPA to promulgate a federal implementation plan ("FIP") for any
state failing to adopt a state plan compliant with Clean Air Act
standards. Pursuant to a court order, the EPA must promulgate an
FIP for California by February 1995. The EPA recently proposed an
FIP for California that includes more stringent motor vehicle
requirements than those now in effect and could adversely affect
Ford's sales volumes and profits. The proposed FIP contemplates
stringent motor vehicle inspection and maintenance and in-use
testing procedures which would make manufacturers responsible for
certain repairs necessitated by consumer neglect. Implementation
of this FIP could require Ford to accelerate implementation of
costly and unproven low-emission technology and incur additional
recall and warranty expense. It could preclude the sale in
California of some Ford medium and heavy-duty truck engines.

DESCRIPTION OF SELECT RETIREMENT PLAN
-------------------------------------
On June 9, 1994, the Board of Directors established a Select
Retirement Plan as part of an overall voluntary attrition program
for certain U.S. supplemental compensation roll and above
employees selected by the Company to participate. The Plan
provides a benefit as if three years of age and three years of
contributory service were added to the otherwise eligible
employee's attained age and service for retirement plan purposes,
provided that the employee's monthly benefits under any
applicable retirement plans improve by at least 15%. To
participate in the plan, an employee must be selected by
management and generally must be at least age 55 and have ten or
more years of credited service under the Company's retirement
plans. It is expected that substantially all voluntary retirements
under the plan will occur no later than December 31, 1994.
