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,
1999. For purposes of this report, "Ford", the "Company", "we", "our",
"us" or similar references 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. Discontinued Operation - On April 12, 2000, the Ford Board of Directors
approved a plan for the complete separation of Visteon Corporation from
Ford by means of a tax-free spin-off in the form of a dividend on Ford
Common and Class B Stock consisting of all shares of Visteon Common Stock.
Specific record and distribution dates will be established after
Securities and Exchange Commission clearance. Consistent with this
approved plan and to aid in comparisons, our financial statements reflect
Visteon's reported net income and net assets as a "discontinued operation"
for all periods shown.
Visteon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford, is a global provider of
automotive systems, modules and components. Visteon operates in three
business segments: Comfort, Communication & Safety; Dynamics & Energy
Conversion; and Glass.

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.
4. Acquisitions
Purchase of AB Volvo's Worldwide Passenger Car Business ("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.
Purchase of Kwik-Fit Holdings plc - During the third quarter of 1999,
we completed the purchase of all the outstanding stock of Kwik-Fit
Plc ("Kwik-Fit"). Kwik-Fit is Europe's largest independent vehicle
maintenance and light repair chain, with over 1,900 outlets in the
United Kingdom, Ireland, and continental Europe. The acquisition
price was approximately $1.6 billion and consisted of cash payments
of approximately $1.4 billion and loan notes to certain Kwik-Fit
shareholders of approximately $0.2 billion, redeemable beginning on
April 30, 2000 and on any subsequent interest payment date. The
purchase price payments were funded from our cash reserves.
Assuming these two acquisitions had taken place on January 1, 1999, Ford
Automotive unaudited pro forma revenue for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1999 would have been $35.2 billion. Net income and earnings per
share for this period would not be materially affected.

5. 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 calculation of diluted income per share of Common and Class B Stock
takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as
stock options.
Income per share of Common and Class B Stock from continuing operations
was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

Effective January 1, 2000, the functional currency for Ford's automotive
operations in Brazil was changed from the U.S. dollar to the Brazilian
real in recognition of the primary currency of the environment in which
Ford will operate. The lower translated value of fixed assets and

$1,644 million and $1,817 million as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 is
included in Auto Sector total assets.
"Other Financial Services" data is an aggregation of miscellaneous smaller
Financial Services Sector business components, including Ford Motor Land
Development Corporation, Ford Leasing Development Company, Ford Leasing
Corporation and Granite Management Corporation.
"Eliminations/Other" data includes intersegment eliminations and minority
interests. Interest income for the operating segments in the Financial
Services Sector is reported as "Revenue".
10. Shareholder Value Enhancement Plan - On April 12, 2000, the Ford Board of
Directors approved a plan that will involve Ford shareholders exchanging
their existing shares of the company's stock for new shares of the
company's Common Stock and Class B Stock, plus either $20 cash per share
or additional shares of equivalent value. The total cash distribution
will be limited to $10 billion and, therefore, the $20 cash per share is
subject to being reduced if the aggregate amount of cash elected exceeds
$10 billion. Specific details, including record and effective dates of
the plan, will be announced later in 2000. The plan is subject to
shareholder approval.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ford Motor Company
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor
Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000, and the related consolidated
statement of income and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 and 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 review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, and the
related consolidated statement of income, stockholders' equity and of cash
flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated
January 24, 2000, 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, 1999, 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
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to specific explanations discussed below, comparisons between
Ford's 1999 and 2000 results are influenced by two important events:
o On April 12, 2000, the Ford Board of Directors approved a
plan for the complete separation of Visteon Corporation from
Ford by means of a tax-free spin-off in the form of a
dividend on Ford Common and Class B Stock consisting of all
shares of Visteon common stock. Specific record and
distribution dates will be established after Securities and
Exchange Commission clearance. Throughout this discussion,
Visteon is reflected as a discontinued operation. Visteon's
results and financial condition have been excluded from all
amounts except total net income and total earnings per
share.
o On March 31, 1999, we purchased AB Volvo's worldwide
passenger car business ("Volvo Car"). Volvo Car's results
and financial condition have been included in our financial
statements on a consolidated basis since the second quarter
of 1999.
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Worldwide net income was $2,079 million in the first quarter of 2000, or
$1.70 per diluted share of Common and Class B Stock. This compares with first
quarter earnings in 1999, of $1,979 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, which
included a one-time gain of $165 million, or 14 cents a share, from the
dissolution of AutoEuropa. Worldwide sales revenue was $42.9 billion in the
first quarter of 2000, up $5.3 billion from a year ago. Unit sales of cars and
trucks were 1,911,000, up 137,000 units.
Results by business sector for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999 are
shown below (in millions).

Automotive Sector
- -----------------
Worldwide earnings for our Automotive sector were $1,552 million in the
first quarter of 2000, on sales of $36.2 billion. Earnings in the first quarter
of 1999 were $1,446 million, on sales of $31.6 billion. Adjusted for constant
volume and mix, total automotive costs were unchanged compared with the first
quarter of 1999.

</TABLE>
Automotive sector earnings in North America were $1,667 million in the
first quarter of 2000, on sales of $27.2 billion. In the first quarter of 1999,
earnings were $1,379 million, on sales of $24.2 billion. The increase in
earnings reflects primarily higher volume, improved revenue and product mix,
offset partially by higher warranty costs related to the 3.8 liter engine. The
after-tax return on sales for our Automotive sector in North America was 6.2%
in the first quarter of 2000, up 4/10 of a percentage point from a year ago.
In the first quarter of 2000, approximately 4.5 million new cars and
trucks were sold in the United States, up 450,000 units from a year ago. Our
share of those unit sales was 24% in the first quarter of 2000, down 3/10 of a
percentage point from a year ago. The decline in market share reflects
primarily capacity constraints due to the record first quarter industry volume.
Our Automotive sector losses in Europe were $3 million in the first
quarter of 2000, compared with earnings of $155 million a year ago. The
decline in earnings reflects primarily the non-recurrence of a $165 million
gain from the sale of our interest in AutoEuropa to Volkswagen AG in the first
quarter of 1999 and lower volume for Ford-branded vehicles, offset partially by
the inclusion of Volvo Car results in the first quarter of 2000. We have much
work to do to turn around our results in Europe, including assessing our
manufacturing capacity requirements and reducing our operating costs. We also
are in the midst of a major product changeover for Ford-branded vehicles - we
are launching an all-new Transit and Galaxy, we have a new Mondeo coming this
fall, and a new B-car next year.
In the first quarter of 2000, approximately 5 million new cars and trucks
were sold in our nineteen primary European markets, up 165,000 units from a
year ago. Our share of those unit sales was 9.8% in the first quarter of 2000,
up 3/10 of a percentage point from a year ago. Our market share increase
reflects the addition of Volvo Car sales and strong Focus and Jaguar S-TYPE
sales, offset partially by lower share of other Ford-branded vehicles.
Our Automotive sector in South America had losses of $82 million in the
first quarter of 2000, compared with losses of $141 million a year ago. The
improved results reflect primarily higher industry volume, continued cost
reductions, and a stronger Brazilian currency.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations (Continued)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first quarter of 2000, approximately 310,000 new cars and trucks
were sold in Brazil, compared with 276,000 a year ago. Our share of those unit
sales was 9.5% in the first quarter of 2000, up 5/10 of a percentage point from
a year ago. The improvement in market share reflects primarily stronger demand
for a freshened product line-up (Fiesta, Courier, 4-Door Ranger and new SOHC
engine) and better availability of vehicles due to the non-recurrence of
production losses, which resulted from labor disruptions in early 1999.
Automotive sector losses outside North America, Europe, and South America
("Rest of World") were $30 million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with
earnings of $53 million in the first quarter of 1999. The decline in earnings
reflects primarily our share of the profit decline at Mazda, explained by a
stronger Japanese yen.
Financial Services Sector
- -------------------------
Earnings of our Financial Services sector consist primarily of two
segments, Ford Credit and Hertz. Details of first quarter Financial Services
sector earnings are shown below (in millions).

Memo: Ford's share of earnings in Hertz $ 46 $ 40 $ 6
</TABLE>
Ford Credit's consolidated net income in the first quarter of 2000 was
$353 million, up $53 million or 18% from 1999. The increase in earnings
reflects primarily a higher level of financing receivables and improved net
financing margins, offset partially by higher operating costs and slightly
higher credit losses. Higher operating costs reflect primarily the servicing of
a higher level of financing receivables, operating expenses of recently
acquired subsidiaries, and costs associated with the restructuring of financing
operations, including employee separation programs.
Earnings at Hertz in the first quarter of 2000 were $56 million (of which
$46 million was Ford's share), compared with earnings of $49 million (of which
$40 million was Ford's share) a year ago. The increase in earnings reflects
primarily favorable pricing and strong performance in the United States car
rental market, offset partially by unfavorable pricing for worldwide industrial
and construction equipment rental operations.
Discontinued Operation - Visteon
- --------------------------------
Visteon earned $147 million in the first quarter of 2000, compared with
earnings of $205 million in the same period a year ago. The decline is more
than explained by the impact of a one-time price reduction of five percent on
products Visteon was supplying to Ford as of January 1, 2000 based on a market
pricing review conducted by Ford and Visteon. The decline in earnings was
offset partially by favorable volume and mix and cost efficiencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Automotive Sector
- -----------------
At March 31, 2000, our Automotive sector had $22.8 billion of cash and
marketable securities, up $1.1 billion from December 31, 1999. Automotive
capital expenditures totaled $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2000, up $358
million from the same period a year ago. In the first quarter of 2000, we paid
$607 million in cash dividends.
At March 31, 2000, our Automotive sector had total debt of $10.8 billion,
compared with $11.7 billion at December 31, 1999. Automotive debt at March 31,
2000 was 27% of total capital (the sum of our stockholders' equity and
Automotive debt), down three percentage points from December 31, 1999.
Financial Services Sector
- -------------------------
At March 31, 2000, our Financial Services sector had cash and cash
equivalents of $1.9 billion, up $295 million from December 31, 1999. Finance
receivables and net investments in operating leases were $160.5 billion at
March 31, 2000, up from $155.8 billion at December 31, 1999.
Total debt was $144 billion at March 31, 2000, up $4 billion from
December 31, 1999. Outstanding commercial paper at March 31, 2000 totaled $37.3
billion at Ford Credit, and $2.1 billion at Hertz, with an average remaining
maturity of 25 days and 16 days, respectively.
For a discussion of support facilities available to our Automotive and
Financial Services sectors, see Note 10 of our Notes to Financial Statements
for the year ended December 31, 1999, which are included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for 1999.
SHAREHOLDER VALUE ENHANCEMENT PLAN
On April 12, 2000, the Ford Board of Directors approved a plan that will
involve Ford shareholders exchanging their existing shares of the company's
stock for new shares of the company's Common and Class B Stock, plus either $20
cash per share or additional shares of equivalent value. The total cash
distribution will be limited to $10 billion and, therefore, the $20 cash per
share is subject to being reduced if the aggregate amount of cash elected
exceeds $10 billion. Specific details, including record and effective dates of
the plan, will be announced later in 2000. The plan is subject to shareholder
approval.
LAND ROVER
On March 17, 2000, we announced that we reached a memorandum of
understanding to buy Land Rover from the BMW Group for a purchase price of
approximately three billion euros (equivalent to approximately $3 billion at
March 31, 2000). Two-thirds of the purchase price would be paid at the time of
closing. The remainder would be paid in 2005. The acquisition involves the
entire Land Rover line of vehicles, including assembly and engineering
facilities. It does not include Rover's passenger car business or any
assumption of debt by Ford. The transaction is subject to BMW and Ford reaching
a definitive agreement, due diligence, and regulatory approvals. If successful,
the acquisition is expected to be completed in the second quarter.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
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. We expect to adopt SFAS 133
beginning January 1, 2001. We have not yet determined the effect of adopting
SFAS 133.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Michigan Truck, Dearborn and Wayne Assembly Plants. (Previously discussed
on page 24 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999 (the "10-K Report")). On March 16, 2000, the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan approved a Consent Decree memorializing a
settlement of this matter that includes the payment by Ford of $1.1 million in
civil penalties and Ford's agreement to install a $10 million waterborne primer
system at the Dearborn Assembly Plant.
CLASS ACTIONS
3.8 Liter Transmission Class Actions. (Previously discussed on page 27 of
the 10-K Report). The three cases filed in Illinois and Pennsylvania were
removed to federal court. Plaintiffs' motion to remand the Pennsylvania case
was denied, but motions to remand remain pending in the two Illinois cases.
Seat Back Class Actions. (Previously discussed on page 27 of the 10-K
Report). Plaintiffs have amended their complaint in New Jersey to expand the
purported class to include almost all passenger cars, vans, and SUV's
manufactured after 1990 and to more generally allege that the seatbacks in
these vehicles are susceptible to failure in rear end collisions. The trial
court in Maryland dismissed the complaint because Plaintiffs suffered no injury.
Plaintiffs have appealed that ruling to the Maryland Court of Appeals.
Wartime Labor. (Previously discussed on page 28 of the 10-K Report). On
March 28, 2000, Ford announced that its German subsidiary, Ford Werke AG, will
make a significant contribution to the Remembrance, Responsibility and the
Future Foundation, which was established by the German government and industry
to provide humanitarian relief for civilian victims of forced and slave labor
in WWII Germany. The amount of the contribution is anticipated to be about DM26
million (about US $13 million) in accordance with the Foundation's giving
guidelines, but the exact amount has not been finalized.
OTHER MATTERS
Rouge Powerhouse Insurance Litigation. Insurers of Rouge Steel Company
filed two subrogation actions against Ford in March 2000. These actions seek
damages for claims paid out for property damage and business interruption losses
experienced by Rouge Steel Company as a result of the February 1, 1999 Rouge
Powerhouse explosion. In the first action, which is pending in federal court in
Michigan, Factory Mutual Insurance Company seeks recovery in excess of $134
million. In the second action, which is pending in state court in Michigan, a
group of five insurers seeks recovery of $25 million. In both cases, the
insurers allege that the powerhouse explosion was caused by the Company's
negligence, gross negligence and/or willful and wanton misconduct. Answers to
the complaints are due in May 2000.
Item 5. Other Information
- --------------------------
GOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS
Mobil Source Emission Control - U.S. Requirements. (Previously discussed
on page 28 of the 10-K Report). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
upheld the federal district court's ruling that Massachusetts' pre-2003 model
year zero-emission vehicle requirements were invalid.
