NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Financial Statements - The financial data presented herein are unaudited,
but in the opinion of management reflect those adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of such information. Results for interim periods should
not be considered indicative of results for a full year. Reference should
be made to the financial statements contained in the registrant's Annual
Report on Form 10-K (the "10-K Report") for the year ended December 31,
1998. For purposes of Notes to Financial Statements, "Ford" or the
"Company" means Ford Motor Company and its majority owned subsidiaries
unless the context requires otherwise. Certain amounts for prior periods
were reclassified to conform with present period presentation.
2. Selected Automotive costs and expenses are summarized as follows (in
millions):

Acquisition of AB Volvo's worldwide passenger car business ("Volvo Car") -
Second quarter 1999 financial results include a one-time profit reduction
of $146 million, or $0.11 per share of diluted Common and Class B Stock,
related to the acquisition of Volvo Car. Under U.S. accounting rules, we
were required to write-up inventory acquired to fair value, resulting in a
one-time increase to cost of sales.
Dissolution of AutoEuropa Joint Venture - Effective January 1, 1999, our
joint venture for the production of minivans with Volkswagen AG in Portugal
(AutoEuropa) was dissolved resulting in a $255 million pre-tax gain ($165
million after-tax) in the first quarter of 1999.
3. Purchase of AB Volvo's Worldwide Passenger Car Business - On March 31,
1999, we purchased Volvo Car for approximately $6.45 billion. The
acquisition price consisted of a cash payment of approximately $2 billion
on March 31, 1999, a deferred payment obligation to AB Volvo of
approximately $1.6 billion due March 31, 2001, and Volvo Car automotive net
indebtedness of approximately $2.9 billion. Most automotive indebtedness
was repaid on April 12, 1999. The purchase price payment and automotive
debt repayments were funded from our cash reserves.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The assets purchased,
liabilities assumed and the results of operations, since the date of
acquisition, are included in our financial statements on a consolidated
basis.
The purchase price for Volvo Car has been allocated, on a preliminary
basis, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated
fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price
over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is approximately $2.5
billion and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The
purchase price allocation included a write-up of inventory to fair value;
the sale of this inventory in the second quarter of 1999 resulted in a
one-time increase in cost of sales of $146 million after-tax.
Assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1999 and 1998,
unaudited pro forma revenue for Ford (Automotive and Financial Services)
would have been approximately $83.5 billion and $80.1 billion for each of
the six month periods ended June 30, respectively. Excluding the
unfavorable inventory profit effect in the second quarter of 1999, pro
forma effects on net income and earnings per share would not have been
material.
4. Purchase of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc - As of June 30, 1999, we acquired
approximately 96% of the outstanding stock of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc
("Kwik-Fit"). Kwik-Fit is Europe's largest independent vehicle maintenance
and light repair chain, with over 1,600 service centers in the United
Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe. Our offer price is(pound)5.60
(approximately the equivalent of $9.05) per share, or an aggregate
of(pound)1,013 million including acquisition-related costs (approximately
the equivalent of $1.6 billion). The payments through June 30, 1999
amounted to approximately(pound)966 million which was a combination of a
cash payment of (pound)862 million and a payable to certain shareholders
of(pound)104 million. We expect to purchase the remaining Kwik-Fit shares
by the end of July 1999. The purchase has been funded from our cash
reserves.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The assets purchased,
liabilities assumed and the results of operations of Kwik-Fit will be
included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis beginning in
the third quarter of 1999. Our investment in Kwik-Fit at June 30, 1999, is
included in Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies on our financial
statements.

5. Purchase of Plastic Omnium - On June 30, 1999, we purchased (through
Visteon) Plastic Omnium's automotive interior business for approximately
$500 million. The automotive interior business of Plastic Omnium has 14
facilities in four countries in Europe: France, Spain, Italy and the UK.
The purchase was funded from our cash reserves.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The assets purchased,
liabilities assumed and the results of operations of Plastic Omnium will be
included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis beginning in
the third quarter of 1999. Our investment in Plastic Omnium at June 30,
1999 is included in Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies on our
financial statements.
6. Spin-off of The Associates - On March 2, 1998, the Board of Directors of
the Company approved the spin-off of The Associates by declaring a dividend
on Ford's outstanding shares of Common and Class B Stock consisting of
Ford's 80.7% interest (279.5 million shares) in The Associates. The Board
of Directors also declared a dividend in cash on shares of Company stock
held in U.S. employee savings plans equal to the market value of The
Associates stock to be distributed per share of the Company's Common and
Class B Stock. Both the spin-off dividend and the cash dividend were paid
on April 7, 1998 to stockholders of record on March 12, 1998.
Holders of Ford Common and Class B Stock on the record date received
0.262085 shares of The Associates common stock for each share of Ford
stock, and participants in U.S. employee savings plans on the record date
received $22.12 in cash per share of Ford stock, based on the
volume-weighted average price of The Associates stock of $84.3849 per share
on April 7, 1998. The total value of the distribution (including the $3.2
billion cash dividend) was $26.8 billion or $22.12 per share of Ford stock.
As a result of the spin-off of The Associates, Ford realized a gain of
$15,955 million based on the fair value of The Associates as of the record
date, March 12, 1998, in the first quarter of 1998. Ford received a ruling
from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that the distribution qualified as a
tax-free transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company's results in the first quarter of 1998 include Ford's share of
The Associates earnings through the record date, March 12 ($177 million, or
$0.14 a share).

7. Income Per Share of Common and Class B Stock - Basic income per share of
Common and Class B Stock is calculated by dividing the income attributable
to Common and Class B Stock by the average number of shares of Common and
Class B Stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for shares
issuable under employee savings and compensation plans.
The Company had Series A Preferred Stock convertible to Common Stock until
January 9, 1998. Other obligations, such as stock options, are considered
to be dilutive potential common stock. The calculation of diluted income
per share of Common and Class B Stock takes into account the effect of
dilutive potential common stock.

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 as of June 30, 1999 and the related consolidated statement of
income for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999,
and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1999. 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements 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, 1998 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 January 21,
1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
OVERVIEW
Unless otherwise indicated, our second quarter 1999 results and
financial condition discussed below include the second quarter 1999 results and
financial condition of AB Volvo's worldwide passenger car business ("Volvo
Car"), which we purchased on March 31, 1999.
Our worldwide net income was $2,338 million in the second quarter of
1999, or $1.89 per diluted share of Common and Class B Stock. These earnings
include a one-time profit reduction of $146 million, or $0.11 per diluted share
of Common and Class B Stock, related to the acquisition of Volvo Car. We were
required to write-up Volvo Car's inventory, resulting in a one-time increase in
cost of sales. Excluding the one-time profit reduction of $146 million, our
second quarter 1999 operating earnings would have been $2,484 million, or $2.00
per diluted share of Common and Class B Stock. In the second quarter of 1998,
earnings were $2,381 million, or $1.91 per diluted share. Our worldwide sales
and revenues were $42.3 billion in the second quarter of 1999, up $5 billion
from a year ago. This includes Volvo Car revenues of $3.4 billion for the second
quarter of 1999. Vehicle unit sales of cars and trucks were 1,928,000, up
135,000 units. Stockholders' equity was $26.2 billion at June 30, 1999, up $2.8
billion from December 31, 1998.

Automotive Sector
Worldwide earnings for our Automotive sector were $1,931 million in

measure that excludes the inventory-related profit reduction for Volvo Car, our
second quarter earnings would have been $2,077 million. Earnings in the second
quarter of 1998 were $2,051 million on sales of $31.3 billion. Adjusted for
constant volume and mix, total automotive costs were down $300 million compared
with the second quarter of 1998.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Automotive sector earnings in North America were $1,969 million in the
second quarter of 1999 on sales of $25.8 billion. In the second quarter of 1998,
earnings were $1,655 million on sales of $22.7 billion. The increase in earnings
reflects primarily increased volume and lower material cost. The after-tax
return on sales for our North American Automotive sector was 7.7% in the second
quarter of 1999, up 4/10 of a percentage point from a year ago.
In the second quarter of 1999, 4.7 million new cars and trucks were
sold in the United States, up 200,000 units from a year ago. Our share of those
unit sales was 24.7% in the second quarter of 1999, up 7/10 of a percentage
point from a year ago.
Our Automotive sector earnings in Europe were $89 million in the second
quarter of 1999. Excluding the inventory-related profit reduction for Volvo Car
of $125 million, our operating earnings would have been $214 million, down $96
million from a year ago. The deterioration reflects primarily lower sales volume
and unfavorable mix for Ford-branded vehicles. Even with the addition of Volvo
Car, it will be a challenge to achieve our 1999 milestone to grow operating
earnings.
In the second quarter of 1999, 4.4 million new cars and trucks were
sold in Europe, up 300,000 units from a year ago. Our share of those unit sales
was 11.5% in the second quarter of 1999, up 1.1 percentage points from a year
ago. Our market share increased because of the addition of Volvo Car sales.
Our Automotive sector in South America had losses of $120 million in
the second quarter of 1999, compared with earnings of $14 million a year ago.
The decline was the result of lower volumes, exchange impact of the Real
devaluation and higher interest costs.
In the second quarter of 1999, 336,000 new cars and trucks were sold in
Brazil, compared with 421,000 a year ago. Our share of those unit sales was
10.5% in the second quarter of 1999, down 3.3 percentage points from a year ago.
The decline in market share reflects primarily shortages of dealer stocks
because of an earlier carrier strike and increased competition from new and
existing manufacturers who are aggressively competing for the lower base.
Our Visteon operations, included in our Automotive sector, earned $282
million on revenues of $5,063 million in the second quarter of 1999, compared
with earnings of $241 million on revenues of $4,725 million in the second
quarter of 1998. This earnings increase reflects primarily improved volume and
mix and lower material costs, partially offset by price reductions to customers.
Visteon's after-tax return on sales in the second quarter of 1999 was 5.7%, up
6/10 of a percentage point from a year ago.
Financial Services Sector
Earnings of our Financial Services sector consist primarily of two
segments, Ford Credit and Hertz. Details of second quarter Financial Services
sector earnings are shown below (in millions).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Ford Credit's consolidated net income in the second quarter of 1999 was
$335 million, up $35 million or 12% from a year ago. The increase in earnings
reflects primarily higher financing volumes, improved credit loss performance
and lower effective tax rates, offset partially by lower net financing margins.
Earnings at Hertz in the second quarter of 1999 were $88 million (of
which $71 million was Ford's share), compared with earnings of $75 million (of
which $60 million was Ford's share) a year ago.

Our worldwide earnings in the first half of 1999 were $4,317 million.
First half 1998 operating earnings were $3,895 million, excluding all income and
a one-time gain related to The Associates. Worldwide sales and revenues in the
first half of 1999 were $80.2 billion, up $6.3 billion from a year ago. Vehicle
unit sales of cars and trucks were 3,703,000, up 182,000 units.
Automotive Sector
Worldwide earnings for our Automotive sector were $3,582 million in the
first half of 1999 on sales of $67.9 billion. Earnings in the first half of 1998
were $3,286 million on sales of $60.4 billion. The earnings improvement reflects
primarily higher North America profits, offset partially by lower earnings in
all other regions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
Automotive sector earnings in North America were $3,557 million in the
first half of 1999, up $892 million from the first half of 1998. The increase
reflects primarily increased volume and lower material cost. The North American
Automotive after-tax return on sales was 7.1% in the first half of 1999, up 9/10
of a percentage point from a year ago.
In the first half of 1999, 8.8 million new cars and trucks were sold in
the United States, up 600,000 units from a year ago. Our share of those unit
sales was 24.7% in the first half of 1999, up 7/10 of a percentage point from a
year ago.
Automotive sector earnings in Europe in the first half of 1999 were
$254 million, down $286 million from the first half a year ago. The
deterioration is explained by lower sales volume, a less favorable mix for
Ford-branded vehicles and a $125 million one-time inventory-related profit
reduction for Volvo Car, partially offset by a $165 million gain from the sale
of our interest in AutoEuropa to Volkswagen AG in the first quarter of 1999.
In the first half of 1999, 9 million new cars and trucks were sold in
Europe, up 600,000 units from a year ago. Our share of those unit sales was
10.7% in the first half of 1999, down 2/10 of a percentage point from a year
ago. Our market share decrease reflects lower shares for Mondeo and Fiesta,
partially offset by the addition of Volvo Car sales.
Automotive sector losses in South America were $285 million in the
first half of 1999, compared with losses of $31 million in the first half a year
ago. In the first half of 1999, 612,000 new cars and trucks were sold in Brazil,
compared with 805,000 a year ago. Our share of those unit sales was 9.7% in the
first half of 1999, down 4 percentage points from a year ago.
Visteon earned $490 million on revenues of $9,835 million in the first
half of 1999, compared with $430 million on revenues of $9,103 million in the
first half a year ago. The increase in earnings reflects primarily improved
volume and mix and lower material costs, partially offset by price reductions to
customers. The after-tax return on sales was 5% in the first half of 1999, up
3/10 of a percentage point from a year ago.
Financial Services Sector
Higher earnings at Ford Credit and Hertz in the first half of 1999,
compared with the first half of 1998, reflect primarily the same factors as
those described in the discussion of second quarter results of operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Automotive Sector
At June 30, 1999, our Automotive sector had $24 billion of cash and
marketable securities, up $154 million from December 31, 1998.
Automotive capital expenditures, including the effect of adopting the
accounting change for the capitalization of computer software (Statement of
Position 98-1), totaled $3.1 billion in the first half of 1999, down $0.7
billion from in the first half of 1998.
At June 30, 1999, our Automotive sector had total debt of $11.4
billion, compared with $9.8 billion at December 31, 1998. This amount was 30.3%
of our total capitalization (that is, the sum of our stockholders' equity and
Automotive debt) at the end of the second quarter of 1999, slightly above the
percent of total debt to total capitalization at December 31, 1998.
At July 1, 1999, Ford had long-term contractually committed global
credit agreements under which $8.6 billion is available from various banks; 85%
are available through June 30, 2004. The entire $8.6 billion may be used, at our
option, by any affiliate of Ford; however, any borrowing by an affiliate will be
guaranteed by Ford. We also have the ability to transfer on a nonguaranteed
basis $8.3 billion of such credit lines in varying portions to Ford Credit and
FCE Bank plc (formerly known as Ford Credit Europe plc). In addition, at July 1,
1999, $468 million of contractually committed credit facilities were available
to various Automotive sector affiliates outside the U.S. Approximately $330
million of these facilities were in use at July 1, 1999.
On July 9, 1999, we committed to issue $1.8 billion of long-term debt
securities in a global public offering, which is scheduled to close on July 16,
1999.
Financial Services Sector
At June 30, 1999, our Financial Services sector had cash and cash
equivalents totaling $1.2 billion, unchanged from December 31, 1998.
Net receivables and lease investments were $142 billion at June 30,
1999, up $9.1 billion from December 31, 1998.
Total debt was $132.2 billion at June 30, 1999, up $9.9 billion from
December 31, 1998.
Outstanding commercial paper at June 30, 1999 totaled $52.6 billion at
Ford Credit, and $2.3 billion at Hertz, with an average remaining maturity of 22
days and 24 days, respectively.
At July 1, 1999, our Financial Services sector had a total of $26.8
billion of contractually committed support facilities (excluding the $8.3
billion available under Ford's global credit agreements). Of these facilities,
$22.6 billion are contractually committed global credit agreements under which
$18.2 billion and $4.4 billion are available to Ford Credit and FCE Bank plc,
respectively, from various banks; 53% and 71%, respectively of such facilities
are available through June 30, 2004. The entire $18.2 billion may be used, at
Ford Credit's option, by any subsidiary of Ford Credit, and the entire $4.4
billion may be used, at FCE Bank plc's option, by any subsidiary of FCE Bank
plc. Any borrowings by such subsidiaries will be guaranteed by Ford Credit or
FCE Bank plc, as the case may be. At July 1, 1999, $100 million of the Ford
Credit global facilities were in use and $360 million of the FCE Bank plc global
facilities were in use. Other than the global credit agreements, the remaining
portion of the Financial Services sector support facilities at July 1, 1999
consisted of $2.1 billion of contractually committed support facilities
available to Hertz in the U.S. and $2.1 billion of contractually committed
support facilities available to various affiliates outside the U.S.; at July 1,
1999, approximately $1 billion of these facilities were in use. Furthermore,
banks provide $1,450 million of liquidity facilities to support the asset-backed
commercial paper program of a Ford Credit sponsored special purpose entity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
On July 9, 1999, Ford Credit committed to issue $6.8 billion of debt
securities in a global public offering, which is scheduled to close on July 16,
1999.
VOLVO CAR
On March 31, 1999, we purchased Volvo Car for approximately $6.45
billion. The acquisition price consisted of a cash payment of approximately $2
billion on March 31, 1999, a deferred payment obligation to AB Volvo of
approximately $1.6 billion due March 31, 2001, and Volvo Car automotive net
indebtedness of approximately $2.9 billion. Most automotive indebtedness was
repaid on April 12, 1999. The purchase price payment and automotive debt
repayments were funded from our cash reserves.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase. The assets
purchased, liabilities assumed and the results of operations, since the date of
acquisition, are included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis.
The purchase price for Volvo Car has been allocated, on a preliminary
basis, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair
values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired is approximately $2.5 billion and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The purchase price
allocation included a write-up of inventory to fair value; the sale of this
inventory in the second quarter of 1999 resulted in a one-time increase in cost
of sales of $146 million after-tax.
Assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1999 and 1998,
unaudited pro forma revenue for Ford (Automotive and Financial Services) would
have been approximately $83.5 billion and $80.1 billion for each of the six
month periods ended June 30, respectively. Excluding the unfavorable inventory
profit effect in the second quarter of 1999, pro forma effects on net income and
earnings per share would not have been material
KWIK-FIT
As of June 30, 1999, we acquired approximately 96% of the outstanding
stock of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc ("Kwik-Fit"). Kwik-Fit is Europe's largest
independent vehicle maintenance and light repair chain, with over 1,600 service
centers in the United Kingdom, Ireland and continental Europe. Our offer price
is (pound)5.60 (approximately the equivalent of $9.05) per share, or an
aggregate of (pound)1,013 million including acquisition-related costs
(approximately the equivalent of $1.6 billion). The payments through June 30,
1999 amounted to approximately (pound)966 million which was a combination of a
cash payment of (pound)862 million and a payable to certain shareholders of
(pound)104 million. We expect to purchase the remaining Kwik-Fit shares by the
end of July 1999. The purchase has been funded from our cash reserves.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The assets
purchased, liabilities assumed and the results of operations of Kwik-Fit will be
included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis beginning in the
third quarter of 1999. Our investment in Kwik-Fit at June 30, 1999, is included
in Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies on our financial statements.
PLASTIC OMNIUM
On June 30, 1999, we purchased (through Visteon) Plastic Omnium's
automotive interior business for approximately $500 million. The automotive
interior business of Plastic Omnium has 14 facilities in four countries in
Europe: France, Spain, Italy and the UK. The purchase was funded from our cash
reserves.
The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase. The assets
purchased, liabilities assumed and the results of operations of Plastic Omnium
will be included in our financial statements on a consolidated basis beginning
in the third quarter of 1999. Our investment in Plastic Omnium at June 30, 1999
is included in Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies on our financial
statements.

YEAR 2000 DATE CONVERSION
General
An issue affecting Ford and others is the inability of many computer
systems and applications to process the year 2000 and beyond ("Y2K"). To address
this problem, in 1996, we initiated a global Y2K program to manage our overall
Y2K compliance effort. As part of this program, we established a global Central
Program Office to coordinate our Y2K compliance efforts. We also established a
Y2K Steering Committee comprised of senior executives to address compliance
issues. Our Y2K program has been certified by the Information Technology
Association of America as meeting its Y2K best practices standards.
With the acquisition of Volvo Car, we assessed Volvo Car's Y2K
compliance efforts. In general, Volvo Car is following sound compliance and
program management processes. Volvo Car's Y2K compliance program is on target to
achieve all of its 1999 objectives.
State of Readiness
Set forth below is a timetable showing our internal target dates for
compliance and the present status of compliance (at June 30, 1999) for each of
the areas of our Y2K program. (These areas are described in detail on pages 42
and 43 of our 10-K Report.) We established these target dates well before
December 31, 1999 to allow sufficient time to perform enterprise-wide testing
and further validation of our Y2K compliance.

Y2K Costs
Including Volvo, we estimate that we will spend about $400 million for
our Y2K compliance efforts. We will incur this amount over about a three-year
period that commenced mid-1997 and will end mid-2000. Y2K compliance costs
incurred through June 30, 1999 are estimated at about $280 million. Our annual
Y2K costs relating to information technology have represented and are expected
in the future to represent about 10% of our total annual information technology
budget.
Y2K Contingency Plans
We have established a Y2K business resumption planning committee to
evaluate business disruption scenarios, coordinate the establishment of Y2K
contingency plans, and identify and implement preemptive strategies. Detailed
contingency plans for critical business processes have been developed and will
be validated by September 1999. Additionally, a Global Response Center was
launched as an information clearinghouse for the most current Y2K status
available as we approach year-end 1999.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New Standards
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1998. This Statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires recognition of all derivatives as either assets
or liabilities on the balance sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair
value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be designated
specifically as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a
recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment referred to as
a fair value hedge, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows of
a forecasted transaction (a cash flow hedge), or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized
firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a forecasted transaction. We
anticipate having each of these types of hedges, and we will comply with the
requirements of SFAS 133 when we adopt it. Based on the May 1999 announcement by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board to delay the implementation date by one
year, we expect to adopt SFAS 133 beginning January 1, 2001. We have not yet
determined the effect of adopting SFAS 133.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent public accountants,
performed a limited review of the financial data presented on pages 2 through 10
inclusive. The review was performed in accordance with standards for such
reviews established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The review did not constitute an audit; accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
did not express an opinion on the aforementioned data. The financial data
include any material adjustments or disclosures proposed by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as a result of their review.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Product Liability Matters
Bronco Rollover Jury Verdict. On July 12, 1999, a state court jury in
Modesto, California returned a verdict against us stemming from a 1993 accident
in which three family members were killed when their 1978 Bronco rolled over.
The jury concluded that we were seventy-eight percent responsible for the
deaths, and awarded the family $6 million in compensatory damages and $290
million in punitive damages. We believe this result is inconsistent with the
evidence introduced at trial and will appeal the verdict.
Class Actions
TFI Module. (Previously discussed in the third full paragraph on page
23 of the 10-K Report.) Trial in the California case began on May 11, 1999. We
expect a verdict in September or October.
Windstar Transmission. (Previously discussed in the third paragraph on
page 16 of Ford's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 (the "First Quarter 10-Q Report").) Plaintiffs amended their complaint to
add residents of Canada as named plaintiffs. We are preparing a motion to
dismiss.
Lease Agreement Disclosure. (Previously discussed in the first full
paragraph on page 25 of the 10-K Report and the second paragraph on page 16 of
the First Quarter 10-Q Report) In addition to the ten of the twenty cases
discussed in the 10-K Report and First Quarter 10-Q Report as having been
dismissed in various state courts, Kansas, New York and Ohio state courts have
recently dismissed purported class actions alleging that Ford Credit and Primus
leasing contracts improperly failed to disclose acquisition and administrative
fees that are included in the amount of customer's monthly lease payment.
Head Gaskets. On April 29, 1999, a purported nationwide class action
was filed in Maryland state court alleging premature head gasket failure,
resulting in coolant leakage and engine failure, in 1992-1995 Taurus/Sables,
1992-1995 Continentals, and 1995 Windstars with 3.8 liter engines. Plaintiffs
seek unspecified monetary relief and an injunction requiring the Company to
recall all affected vehicles. We have removed the case to federal court, but
Plaintiffs are likely to move to remand to state court, and such a motion is
likely to be granted. Once the issue of federal court jurisdiction is resolved,
we will file a motion to dismiss the complaint.
Retail Lessee Insurance Coverage. On May 24, 1999, Michigan Mutual
Insurance Company was served with a purported class action complaint in federal
court in Florida alleging that the Ford Commercial, General Liability and
Business Automobile Insurance Policy, and the Personal Auto Supplement to that
policy, provides uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage and medical payment
coverage to retail lessees of Ford vehicles (e.g., to Red Carpet lessees). The
Company is required to defend and indemnify Michigan Mutual. The complaint rests
on an untenable interpretation of the Michigan Mutual policy, which was intended
to cover company cars and lease evaluation vehicles. Unfortunately, however, the
Florida Court of Appeals in a prior action brought by a single individual, has
accepted Plaintiffs' interpretation of the policy. The Florida court's opinion
should not be controlling in federal court, but it does create a substantial
impediment to the early resolution of this case. The policy language was
recently amended to expressly exclude retail lessees, but this amendment
probably will not affect the claims of retail lessees injured before the
amendment's effective date. We are considering a motion to dismiss based on the
policy language attached to the complaint.
Seat Backs. Four purported statewide class actions have been filed in
state courts in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York against Ford, GM
and DaimlerChrysler alleging that seat backs with single recliner mechanisms are
defective. The identical suits allege that the vehicles at issue have seats that
are unreasonably dangerous because they are unstable and susceptible to backward
collapse in rear impact collisions. The purported class in each state consists
of all persons who own a class
-21-
<PAGE> 22
Item 1. Legal Proceedings (Continued)
vehicle (defined as various 1993-1998 model lines for each manufacturer) and
specifically excludes all persons who have suffered personal injury as a result
of the rearward collapse of a seat. For each of the eight counts alleged,
Plaintiffs seek monetary damages of up to $5,000 on behalf of each class member.
We plan to remove the case to federal court and to file motions to dismiss all
of the claims.
Environmental Matters
CCA Lawsuit (Previously discussed in the second paragraph on page 22 of
the 10-K Report). CCA has informed us that it intends to withdraw its appeal.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders
On May 13, 1999, the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company

Item 5. Other Information
Governmental Standards
Mobile Source Emissions Control (Previously discussed in the second
paragraph on page 13 of the 10-K Report). The federal Clean Air Act imposes
limits on the amount of regulated pollutants that lawfully may be emitted by new
motor vehicles and engines sold in the U.S. Most light duty vehicles must comply
with these standards for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever first occurs. In
May 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") proposed new vehicle
emissions standards for model years 2004 and beyond. The proposed standards
would require that light-duty trucks meet the same emissions standards as
passenger cars no later than the 2009 model year. The complexity of the proposed
standards may impair our ability to certify vehicles, and likely would hinder
the use of diesel technology. EPA intends to issue final standards by the end of
1999. Depending on their form and content, the final standards may impact our
ability to produce and offer a broad range of products with the characteristics
and functionality that customers demand.
Motor Vehicle Safety - Fastener Quality Act (Previously discussed in
the second full paragraph on page 16 of the 10-K Report). On June 8, the
President signed the Fastener Quality Act Amendments Act of 1999 which exempts
the majority of fasteners used by us and other vehicle manufacturers and
significantly reduces the testing and record keeping requirements imposed on the
remaining covered fasteners. Consistent with a favorable Commerce Department
report, the new law recognizes the substantial improvements in fastener quality
due to proprietary fastener standards and quality assurance systems like ISO
9000.
