Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES (Continued)

Ford North America

Automobile Protection Corporation ("APCO").  During the second quarter of 2007, we sold our wholly-owned North American subsidiary, APCO.  APCO was not an integrated component of our Ford North America reporting unit.  Accordingly, the full amount of APCO's goodwill, $112 million, was classified within Assets of discontinued/held-for-sale operations at December 31, 2006.

PAG

The decrease in PAG goodwill is attributable to the allocation of PAG goodwill to Aston Martin Lagonda Group Limited ("Aston Martin") for $434 million and the settlement of a Land Rover tax matter for $230 million (discussed below), offset partially by foreign currency translation adjustments of $276 million.

Aston Martin.  Aston Martin was owned primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Jaguar Cars Limited, and was a component of our PAG reporting unit.  Its operations were integrated with our other PAG reporting entities, sharing, among other things, certain facilities and tooling, intellectual property, in-bound logistics, information technology services, and parts supply.

During the second quarter of 2007, we sold Aston Martin.  As part of this sale, we allocated $434 million of goodwill to Aston Martin that was included in PAG goodwill at December 31, 2006. The goodwill remaining in our PAG reporting unit was tested at March 31, 2007, and no goodwill impairment was necessary.

Land Rover Deferred Tax.  During the second and third quarters of 2007, we settled a tax matter related to the acquisition of Land Rover which resulted in a total reduction of PAG goodwill of $230 million.  See Note 6 for additional information.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 4. 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.

Reflected in our September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 balance sheets are consolidated VIE assets of $6 billion and $5.6 billion, respectively, for our Automotive sector and $73.1 billion and $69.5 billion, respectively, for our Financial Services sector.  Included in Automotive consolidated VIE assets are $682 million and $488 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  For our Financial Services sector, consolidated VIE assets included $4.3 billion and $3.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $68.8 billion and $65.8 billion of receivables and beneficial interests in net investment in operating leases at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

We have several investments in other entities determined to be VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary.  The risks and rewards associated with our interests in these entities are based primarily on ownership percentages.  Our maximum exposure was $193 million and $294 million for our Automotive sector and $72 million and $182 million for our Financial Services sector at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  Any potential losses associated with these VIEs would be limited to the value of our invested capital or equity rights and, where applicable, receivables due from the VIEs.

Our Financial Services sector consists primarily of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC ("Ford Credit").  Ford Credit uses special purpose entities ("SPEs") that are considered VIEs for most of our on-balance sheet securitizations.  Ford Credit also sells finance receivables to bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper issuers that are SPEs of the sponsor bank; these SPEs are not consolidated by us.  All of these sales constitute sales for legal purposes, but some of the sales do not satisfy the requirements for accounting sale treatment.  The outstanding balance of these finance receivables was approximately $4 billion and $5.2 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.


NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS

Automotive Sector

General

In 2006, we announced a major business improvement plan for our North American Automotive operations, which we refer to as our Way Forward plan.  As part of this plan, we began implementing a number of different employee separation actions during 2006, our accounting for which is dependent on the design of the individual benefit action.

Jobs Bank Benefits Reserve

We expense Jobs Bank Benefits (see Note 17 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2006 Form 10-K Report) expected to be provided to our hourly employees in accordance with our International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America ("UAW") and National Automobile, Aerospace, Transportation and General Workers Union of Canada ("CAW") collective bargaining agreements at facilities that will be permanently idled.  We recorded an expense in Automotive cost of sales, and the following table summarizes the activity in the related Jobs Bank Benefits reserve:

NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS (Continued)

Separation Actions

The cost of voluntary employee separation actions is recorded at the time of an employee's acceptance of a separation package, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company.  The costs of conditional voluntary separations are accrued when all conditions are satisfied.  The costs of involuntary separation programs are accrued when management has approved the program and the affected employees are identified.

UAW Voluntary Separations.  During 2006, we offered voluntary separation packages to our entire UAW hourly workforce and established a reserve for the costs associated with this action.  We recorded an expense in Automotive cost of sales and the following table summarizes the activity in the related separation reserve:

   
Reserve (in millions)

The balance in the reserve represents, in part, the cost of separation packages for employees (1,566 shown in the table above) who accepted a retirement package and ceased duties, but who will remain on our employment rolls until they reach retirement eligibility.  The reserve for these employees will be released over the period through the end of 2009.  The remaining balance of the reserve reflects costs associated with employee tuition programs.

Other Employee Separation Actions.  Most salaried employee separations within the United States were completed by the end of the first quarter of 2007, and were achieved through early retirements, voluntary separations, and involuntary separations where necessary.  These actions resulted in pre-tax charges of $154 million during the first nine months of 2007, reported in Automotive cost of sales and Selling, administrative and other expenses.

The following table shows pre-tax charges for other hourly and salaried employee separation actions for the third quarter and first nine months of 2007 and 2006 (in millions).  These charges are reported in Automotive cost of sales and Selling, administrative and other expenses.

Financial Services Sector

Separation Actions

In the first nine months of 2007, we recognized pre-tax charges of $43 million in Selling, administrative and other expenses primarily for employee separation actions in the United States and in Canada.  These actions were associated with Ford Credit's North American business transformation initiative (i.e., the consolidation of its North American branches into its seven existing business centers).  These charges exclude costs for pension and OPEB.  See Note 10 for employee separation costs related to pension and OPEB.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Generally, for interim tax reporting one single tax rate is estimated for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/loss.  However, we manage our operations by multi-jurisdictional business units and thus are unable to reasonably compute one overall effective tax rate.  Accordingly, our worldwide tax provision is calculated pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods, which provides that tax (or benefit) in each foreign jurisdiction, not subject to valuation allowance, be separately computed as ordinary income/(loss) occurs within the jurisdiction.

In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48").  FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Pursuant to FIN 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater-than-fifty-percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we recorded an increase of $1.3 billion to Retained earnings.  The favorable impact to Retained earnings is primarily the result of recognizing a receivable of approximately $1.5 billion associated with refund claims and related interest for prior years that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold of FIN 48.  These prior year refund claims and related interest were not recognized as of December 31, 2006 because they were considered gain contingencies under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and could not be recognized until the contingency lapsed.  The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 is $1.7 billion, of which $471 million would affect our effective tax rate, if recognized.

Examinations by tax authorities have been completed through 1998 in the United Kingdom, 1999 in Germany, 2000 in Sweden and the United States, and 2001 in Canada.

Effective with the adoption of FIN 48, we have elected to recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits and tax-related penalties in the Provision for/(Benefit from) income taxes on our consolidated statement of income.  As of January 1, 2007, we had recorded a liability of about $221 million for the payment of interest.  During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded an additional liability of $127 million in interest and inflationary adjustments for tax refunds received in prior periods.

As previously reported, during the second quarter of 2007, we settled tax matters related to the acquisition of Land Rover with the U.K. tax authorities.  The final resolution resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in goodwill.  The increase in deferred tax assets resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of $108 million.  Additionally, during the third quarter of 2007, U.K. tax authorities granted further tax benefits related to our acquisition of Land Rover.  The additional benefits resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in goodwill.  The increase in deferred tax assets resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of $122 million.

In July 2007, the U.K. government enacted legislation that reduced the corporate income tax rate effective April 1, 2008.  We recorded $125 million of income tax provision as a result of remeasuring deferred tax assets for the enacted tax rate.
