As noted in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012, we are incurring costs in the second quarter associated with new product launches and additional production capacity in Ford North America and Ford Asia Pacific Africa, for which the associated volume and revenue benefits will not be fully realized until the second half of the year.  </font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We continue to expect good results for Ford North America and Ford Credit during the second quarter, but our operations outside of North America are under increasing pressure. In fact, our combined results for the second quarter for Ford South America, Ford Europe, and Ford Asia Pacific Africa could be a loss of about three times as much as the $190&#160;million pre-tax loss incurred by these operations in the first quarter.  </font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The issues we face outside of Ford North America are somewhat different by region. Ford South America is facing growing competitive and pricing pressures, as well as weakening currencies and unexpected and adverse changes in government policies affecting areas such as trade and access to foreign currency. In Europe, the situation has deteriorated significantly since we gave our guidance at the beginning of the year. Given our strong presence in the region, we are impacted by the serious economic crisis, compounded by an intensifying competitive environment as manufacturers react to lower consumer demand and excess production capacity. As a result, we have experienced a decline in margins in Europe and expect this pressure to continue for the foreseeable future. Ford Asia Pacific Africa continues to invest and pay for future growth, while not yet fully realizing the associated revenue of new products and facilities. While our volume is up in the region, our investment and growth costs are rising faster for now.</font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-indent:18px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In all, we expect the second quarter to be profitable, although strong results from Ford North America and Ford Credit will be partially offset by the combined results from our operations outside of North America. For the full year, we continue to expect to be solidly profitable and to generate positive Automotive operating-related cash flow as a result of the continued strong performance by Ford North America and Ford Credit. We are evaluating the impacts of the pressures outside of Ford North America on our full-year guidance, and as usual we will provide a comprehensive update in our upcoming quarterly earnings announcement. Consistent with our One Ford plan, we are developing actions to address the challenges outside of North America to strengthen and improve our business.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><br><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s448CE19BC6ECEBC731C134EEFC6DC0DB"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:center;font-size:9.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.5pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Safe Harbor/Risk Factors</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:9.5pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:18px;font-size:9.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.5pt;">Statements included herein may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Item 8.01. Other Events
In an interview with
The New York Times
on June 28, 2012, Bob Shanks, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), provided additional insights regarding Ford's operations and the current economic environment, including the following:
For the second quarter of 2012, we expect the Company to be profitable, with positive Automotive operating-related cash flow, but we expect pre-tax operating profits excluding special items to be substantially lower than the same period a year ago. As noted in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2012, we are incurring costs in the second quarter associated with new product launches and additional production capacity in Ford North America and Ford Asia Pacific Africa, for which the associated volume and revenue benefits will not be fully realized until the second half of the year.
We continue to expect good results for Ford North America and Ford Credit during the second quarter, but our operations outside of North America are under increasing pressure. In fact, our combined results for the second quarter for Ford South America, Ford Europe, and Ford Asia Pacific Africa could be a loss of about three times as much as the $190 million pre-tax loss incurred by these operations in the first quarter.
The issues we face outside of Ford North America are somewhat different by region. Ford South America is facing growing competitive and pricing pressures, as well as weakening currencies and unexpected and adverse changes in government policies affecting areas such as trade and access to foreign currency. In Europe, the situation has deteriorated significantly since we gave our guidance at the beginning of the year. Given our strong presence in the region, we are impacted by the serious economic crisis, compounded by an intensifying competitive environment as manufacturers react to lower consumer demand and excess production capacity. As a result, we have experienced a decline in margins in Europe and expect this pressure to continue for the foreseeable future. Ford Asia Pacific Africa continues to invest and pay for future growth, while not yet fully realizing the associated revenue of new products and facilities. While our volume is up in the region, our investment and growth costs are rising faster for now.
In all, we expect the second quarter to be profitable, although strong results from Ford North America and Ford Credit will be partially offset by the combined results from our operations outside of North America. For the full year, we continue to expect to be solidly profitable and to generate positive Automotive operating-related cash flow as a result of the continued strong performance by Ford North America and Ford Credit. We are evaluating the impacts of the pressures outside of Ford North America on our full-year guidance, and as usual we will provide a comprehensive update in our upcoming quarterly earnings announcement. Consistent with our One Ford plan, we are developing actions to address the challenges outside of North America to strengthen and improve our business.
