VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
|
|
NOTE 1. |
Financial Statements |
The financial data presented herein are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management reflect those adjustments, including
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of
such information. Results for interim periods should not be
considered indicative of results for a full year. Reference
should be made to the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included in Amendment No. 1 to
Visteon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/ A
(“2004 Form 10-K/ A”), for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on
November 22, 2005.
Visteon Corporation (“Visteon”) is a leading,
global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components.
Visteon sells products primarily to global vehicle
manufacturers, and also sells to the worldwide aftermarket for
replacement and vehicle appearance enhancement parts. Visteon
became an independent company when
Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) established
Visteon as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2000 and
subsequently transferred to Visteon the assets and liabilities
comprising Ford’s automotive components and systems
business. Ford completed its spin-off of Visteon on
June 28, 2000 (the “spin-off”). Prior to
incorporation, Visteon operated as Ford’s automotive
components and systems business.
|
|
NOTE 2. |
Restatement of Financial Statements |
Visteon has restated its previously issued consolidated
financial statements for 2002 through 2004, for accounting
corrections related to freight, raw material costs, other
supplier costs and income tax matters. The decision to restate
Visteon’s consolidated financial statements was previously
announced in a press release that was filed with the SEC as part
of a Current Report on Form 8-K of Visteon dated
October 21, 2005. For a more detailed description of
these restatements, see Note 2, “Restatement of
Financial Statements,” to the audited consolidated
financial statements contained in the 2004 Form 10-K/ A.
As a result of the restatement, previously reported net income
decreased by $4 million ($0.03 per share) and
$3 million ($0.02 per share) for the second
quarter and first half ended June 30, 2004,
respectively.

NOTE 3. |
Arrangements with Ford and its Affiliates |
Funding Agreement
On March 10, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into a funding
agreement, effective as of March 1, 2005, under which
Ford has agreed (a) to accelerate the payment on or prior
to March 31, 2005 of not less than $120 million
of payables that were not required to be paid to Visteon until
after March 31, 2005; (b) to accelerate the
payment terms for certain U.S. payables to Visteon arising
on or after April 1, 2005 from an average of
33 days after the date of sale to an average of
26 days; (c) to reduce the amount of certain wages by
23.75% that Visteon is currently obligated to reimburse Ford
with respect to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly employees that
work at Visteon facilities, beginning with the pay period
commencing February 21, 2005; and (d) to release
Visteon from its obligation to reimburse Ford for Ford profit
sharing payments with respect to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW
hourly employees that accrue in 2005.
During the first half of 2005, costs of sales were reduced by
$101 million as a result of the funding agreement’s
impact on labor costs for Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly
employees. That reduction was comprised of $106 million in
reduced charges from Ford and a one-time reduction of
$17 million in previously established vacation accruals and
was offset by $17 million of asset write-offs and
$5 million from reduced inventory valuations. Cash flows
provided by operating activities for the first half of 2005 were
favorably impacted by the reduced wage reimbursements to Ford
and by the acceleration of payment terms from Ford under the
funding agreement.
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into an
amendment to the funding agreement. This amendment further
accelerates the payment terms for certain U.S. payables to
Visteon arising on or after June 1, 2005 to (i) an
average of 18 days for the period from
June 1, 2005 through July 31, 2005;
(ii) an average of 22 days for the period from
August 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005;
and (iii) an average of 26 days for the period from
January 1, 2006 until termination of the agreement.
This agreement was terminated in connection with the closing of
the transactions discussed below.
Master Equipment Bailment Agreement
Also on March 10, 2005, Ford and Visteon entered into
a master equipment bailment agreement, effective as of
January 1, 2005, pursuant to which Ford has agreed to
pay third-party suppliers for certain machinery, equipment,
tooling and fixtures and related assets, which may be acquired
during the term of the agreement to be held by Visteon, which
are primarily used to produce components for Ford at certain of
the Visteon plants in which Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees
work. The agreement covers (a) certain capital expenditure
project commitments made by Visteon before
January 1, 2005, where less than one-half of the full
amount of the project cost was paid by Visteon as of
January 1, 2005; and (b) capital expenditures for
equipment where the expenditure has not yet been committed by
Visteon and which is subsequently approved by Ford. To the
extent approved capital expenditures are related to the
modification of existing equipment, title of the modified
equipment would transfer to Ford.

NOTE 3. |
Arrangements with Ford and its Affiliates —
(Continued) |
During the first half of 2005, Visteon recognized a charge in
costs of sales of about $17 million related to capitalized
costs of $27 million for projects that were less than
one-half complete which will be transferred to a Ford-controlled
entity. The loss primarily represents costs incurred and
capitalized by Visteon at December 31, 2004 associated
with these projects. Cash proceeds of $10 million from
these sales were received during the second quarter of 2005.
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into an amendment
of the master equipment bailment agreement, effective as of
May 1, 2005, under which Ford agreed to pay
third-party suppliers for certain machinery, equipment, tooling,
fixtures and related assets that are used to produce certain
components for Ford at the remaining Visteon plants in which
Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees work not previously covered
under the original March 10, 2005 agreement. This agreement
was terminated in connection with the closing of the
transactions discussed below.
Sale of North American Facilities
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into a
non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”),
setting forth a framework for the transfer of twenty-three
North American facilities and related assets (the
“Business”) to a Ford-controlled entity.
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005,
Visteon has classified the manufacturing facilities and
associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and
tooling, as well as associated liabilities including
postretirement benefits, to be sold as “held for
sale.” Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires
long-lived assets that are considered “held for sale”
to be measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair
value less cost to sell and future depreciation of such assets
is ceased. During the second quarter of 2005, the Automotive
Operations recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment of
$920 million to write-down those assets considered
“held for sale” to their aggregate estimated fair
value less cost to sell. Fair values were determined primarily
based on prices for similar groups of assets determined by
third-party valuation firms.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Sale of North American Facilities
In September 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into several
definitive agreements and Visteon completed the transfer of the
Business to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC
(“ACH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
Visteon, and its subsidiaries. On October 1, 2005,
Ford acquired from Visteon all of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of the parent of ACH in exchange for
Ford’s payment to Visteon of approximately
$311 million (subject to post-closing adjustment), as well
as the forgiveness of certain other postretirement employee
benefit (“OPEB”) liabilities and other obligations
relating to hourly employees associated with the Business, and
the assumption of certain other liabilities with respect to the
Business.

Accounts Receivable
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $89 million at
June 30, 2005 and $44 million at
December 31, 2004. Allowance for doubtful accounts is
determined considering factors such as length of time accounts
are past due, historical experience of write-offs, and our
customers’ financial condition. The June 30, 2005
allowance includes a provision related to the bankruptcy of a
customer in the U.S. and Europe.

Income Taxes
Visteon’s provision for income taxes in interim periods is
computed by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate
against income (loss) before income taxes, excluding related
equity in net income of affiliated companies, for the period.
Effective tax rates vary from period to period as separate
calculations are performed for those countries where
Visteon’s operations are profitable and whose results
continue to be tax-effected and for those countries where full
deferred tax valuation allowances exist and are maintained.

Selected Costs, Income and Other Information —
(Continued) |
For the second quarter and first half of 2005, Visteon recorded
a benefit of $2 million and a provision of
$20 million, respectively, as compared with provisions of
$6 million and $20 million, respectively, for the
second quarter and first half of 2004. Visteon’s benefit
and provision for income taxes for the second quarter and first
half of 2005 reflects the inability to record a tax benefit for
pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign countries, where
full valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets have
been maintained since the third quarter of 2004. The second
quarter income tax benefit and first half of 2005 income tax
provision includes income tax expense related to those countries
where Visteon is profitable and whose results continue to be
tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain
non-recurring and other discrete tax items described below.
Non-recurring and other discrete tax items recorded in the
second quarter of 2005 resulted in a benefit of
$29 million, reflecting primarily a reduction in our income
tax reserves corresponding with the conclusion of
U.S. Federal income tax audits for 2003, 2002 and certain
pre-spin periods. Non-recurring and other discrete tax items
recorded in the second quarter of 2004 resulted in a tax benefit
of $2 million.
Non-recurring and other discrete tax items recorded in the first
half of 2005 resulted in a net benefit of $37 million. This
includes the $29 million benefit recorded in the second
quarter of 2005, described above, as well as a net benefit of
$8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2005,
consisting primarily of benefits related to a change in the
estimated benefit associated with tax losses in Canada and the
favorable resolution of tax matters in Mexico, offset by net
provisions recorded to increase our income tax reserves for
prior year tax exposures. Non-recurring and other discrete tax
items recorded in the first half of 2004 resulted in a benefit
of $6 million, including the $2 million benefit
recorded in the second quarter of 2004, as well as a benefit of
$4 million recorded during the first quarter of 2004.
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax
assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to
cause variability in Visteon’s quarterly and annual
effective tax rates. Visteon will maintain full valuation
allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and
applicable foreign countries until sufficient positive evidence
exists to reduce or eliminate them.

Liquidity
Visteon believes that cash flow from operations, combined with
access to external liquidity sources, will be sufficient to fund
capital spending, debt maturities and other cash obligations in
2005. However, liquidity from internal or external sources to
meet these obligations is dependent on a number of factors,
including availability of cash balances, credit ratings,
industry economic factors, and the availability of the capital
markets. In addition, because Visteon was not timely in its SEC
filings in 2005, we are currently ineligible to use
Forms S-2 and S-3 to register securities until all
required reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 have
been timely filed for 12 months prior to the filing of a
registration statement for those securities. Accordingly, we are
unable to use our presently effective shelf registration
statement to sell securities in the public market without first
obtaining a waiver from the SEC. We do not believe this will
have a material impact on our liquidity as we have access to
bank facilities and other capital market alternatives; however,
Visteon can provide no assurance that, if needed, additional
liquidity will be available at the times or in the amounts
needed, or on terms and conditions acceptable to Visteon. At
June 30, 2005, Visteon was in compliance with the covenants
contained in its credit agreements, although there can be no
assurance that Visteon will remain in compliance with such
covenants in the future. If we were to violate a financial
covenant and not obtain a waiver, the credit agreements could be
terminated and amounts outstanding would be accelerated. We can
provide no assurance that, in such event, we would have access
to sufficient liquidity resources to repay such amounts.
Long-Lived Assets
Visteon continues to assess the recoverability of our long-lived
assets in light of the challenging environment in which we
operate and as part of our business planning process. If
conditions indicate that any of these assets are impaired,
impairment charges will be required, although we cannot predict
the timing or range of amounts, if any, which may result.
Visteon considers projected future undiscounted cash flows,
trends and other circumstances in making such estimates and
evaluations. While we believe that our estimates of future cash
flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such
factors as future automotive production volumes (primarily for
Ford), selling price changes, labor cost changes, material cost
changes, productivity and other cost savings and capital
expenditures could significantly affect our evaluations.

Stock-Based Awards |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004)
(“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based
Payments.” This revised statement requires the fair-value
based method to be used and eliminates the alternative use of
the intrinsic value method. SFAS 123(R) is required to be
adopted as of the beginning of the first annual period that
begins after June 15, 2005. Visteon is currently evaluating
the impact of the requirements of SFAS 123(R) on the
consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the
impact to have a material effect, as starting January 1,
2003, Visteon began expensing the fair value of stock-based
awards granted to employees pursuant to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),
“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In addition
any stock options granted prior to January 1, 2003 will be
fully vested at the time of adoption. SFAS 123(R) specifies
that an award is vested when the employee’s retention of
the award is no longer contingent on providing subsequent
service (the “non-substantive vesting period
approach”). Currently, Visteon grants stock options and
stock appreciation rights which allow the employee to continue
to vest in the award after retirement without providing
additional service. Compensation expense for these awards is
recognized over the vesting period. The impact of applying the
non-substantive vesting period approach for retirement eligible
employees under SFAS 123(R) compared to Visteon’s
current methodology of expensing over the vesting period would
not have a material effect on its results of operations for the
second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2005.

Stock-Based Awards — (Continued) |
SFAS 123 was adopted on a prospective method basis for
stock-based awards granted, modified or settled after
December 31, 2002. For stock options and restricted stock
awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, Visteon measures
compensation cost using the intrinsic value method. If
compensation cost for all stock-based awards had been determined
based on the estimated fair value of stock options and the fair
value set at the date of grant for restricted stock awards, in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, Visteon’s
reported net (loss) income and net (loss) income per share would
have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon granted under the
Visteon Corporation 2004 Incentive Plan and the Visteon
Corporation Employees Equity Incentive Plan about
4.3 million stock appreciation rights (“SARs”),
2.7 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and
2.0 million stock options. Stock options and SARs granted
have an exercise price equal to the average of the highest and
lowest prices at which Visteon common stock was traded on the
New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, expire five
years after the date on which they were granted and become
exercisable one-third after one year from the date of grant, an
additional one-third after two years and in full after three
years. SARs granted entitle the participant to receive a cash
amount equal to the appreciation in the underlying share of
common stock, which is equal to the difference in fair market
value of Visteon common stock on the date the SAR is granted and
the fair market value of Visteon common stock on the date the
SAR is exercised. RSUs granted consist of units valued based
upon the fair market value of Visteon common stock and are
settled in cash upon vesting after a designated period of time,
which is generally three years.
In addition, treasury stock increased $14 million during
the first half of 2005 primarily from the forfeiture of about
700,000 shares of restricted stock awards, originally
granted in 2002, that did not vest as certain performance goals
were not achieved.

During the second quarter of 2005, the Automotive Operations
recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment of $256 million, to
reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets. This was
based on an assessment by product line asset group completed in
the second quarter of 2005, excluding those assets considered
held for sale, of the recoverability of our long-lived assets in
light of the challenging environment in which we operate. The
assessment included the impact of lower than anticipated current
and near term future year production volumes and the related
impact on our future operating projections. Assets are
considered impaired if the book value is greater than the
undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset. As a
result of this analysis the assets located in the U.K, Germany,
Poland and Brazil related to two product groupings were
considered impaired: driveline and engine/air fuel systems. The
impairment was determined on a “held for use” basis.
Fair values were determined primarily based on prices for
similar groups of assets determined by third-party valuation
firms.
During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon recorded pre-tax
special charges of $7 million in costs of sales
($7 million after-tax) related to a continuation of an
incentive program offered during the fourth quarter of 2004 to
eligible U.S. salaried employees to voluntarily separate
employment. Terms of the program required the effective
termination date to be no later than March 31, 2005, unless
otherwise mutually agreed. Through March 31, 2005, 409
employees have voluntarily elected to participate in this
program, comprised of 374 employees during the fourth quarter of
2004 and 35 employees during the first quarter of 2005. As of
June 30, 2005, substantially all of the employees have
terminated their employment.

During the first half of 2005, contributions to Visteon
U.S. retirement plans and postretirement health care and
life insurance plans were $16 million and $14 million,
respectively, and contributions to non-U.S. retirement
plans were $36 million. Visteon presently anticipates
additional contributions to its U.S. retirement plans and
postretirement health care and life insurance plans of
$25 million and $28 million, respectively, in 2005 for
a total of $41 million and $42 million, respectively.
Visteon also anticipates additional 2005 contributions to
non-U.S. retirement plans of $24 million for a total
of $60 million.

NOTE 7. |
Employee Retirement Benefits — (Continued) |
During June 2005, Visteon approved changes to its
U.S. salaried postretirement health care and life insurance
plans which will become effective June 1, 2007. Employees
who retire after that date will not be provided life insurance
benefits, but will have access to company-sponsored health care
at group rates if they elect to pay the related health care
premium cost. Visteon will provide credits to offset a portion
of the health care premium cost for those employees that retire
from Visteon with hire dates on or before June 30, 2005
that attained the age of 45 by July 1, 2005. Credits
accumulate at the rate of $3,000 per year plus an interest
factor, and are further increased at retirement by a factor of
$750 multiplied by the employee’s combined years of service
and age. These changes are estimated to result in a reduction in
the related accumulated plan benefit obligation of
$336 million at June 30, 2005, of which approximately
$1 million will be recognized in September 2005 and the
remainder will be amortized beginning in October 2005 as a
reduction of postretirement benefit expense over the estimated
average remaining employee service lives of approximately
14 years for the Visteon Corporate Plan and 10 years
for the Visteon Systems Salaried Plan.
During the third quarter of 2005, Visteon recorded a pre-tax
special charge of $11 million in costs of sales
($11 million after-tax) for non-U.S. prior service
pension costs to reflect a reduction of expected future years of
service for some plan participants.
|
|
NOTE 8. |
Asset Securitization |
United States
During 2004, Visteon established a revolving accounts receivable
securitization facility in the United States
(“facility”). Under this facility, Visteon can sell a
portion of its U.S. trade receivables from customers other
than Ford to Visteon Receivables LLC (“VRL”), a
wholly-owned consolidated special purpose entity. VRL may then
sell, on a non-recourse basis (subject to certain limited
exceptions), an undivided interest in the receivables to an
asset-backed, multi-seller commercial paper conduit, which is
unrelated to Visteon or VRL.
During the first half of 2005, gross proceeds from new
securitizations were $182 million; and collections and
repayments to the conduit were $237 million, resulting in
net payments of $55 million and a decrease in the undivided
interest sold to zero. The retained interest of
$252 million and $178 million at June 30, 2005
and December 31, 2004, respectively, is included in
accounts receivable — other customers on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the first half of 2005, the loss
on sale of receivables was less than $1 million.
The facility was extended during the first quarter of 2005 to
expire in March 2006, and can be extended annually through March
2008 based upon the mutual agreement of the parties. The
agreement contains financial covenants similar to Visteon’s
unsecured revolving credit facilities, and a mechanism which
considers changes in Visteon’s credit ratings in
determining the maximum amount of undivided interests that VRL
could sell to the conduit. The April 2005 reductions in
Visteon’s credit ratings would have effectively reduced the
maximum amount of undivided interest that VRL could sell to the
conduit to zero; however, Visteon has obtained a waiver to this
credit rating reduction effective through December 15,
2005, pursuant to which the maximum amount of undivided
interests that VRL can sell to the conduit at June 30, 2005
is about $67 million.

Credit Facility Agreements
During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon’s primary bank
credit agreements were (i) the 364-Day Credit Agreement,
dated as of June 18, 2004 (the “364-Day Credit
Agreement”), (ii) the Five-Year Term Loan Credit
Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2002 (the “Term
Loan Credit Agreement”), and (iii) the Five-Year
Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of
June 20, 2002 (the “Five-Year Credit
Agreement”). In May 2005, Visteon entered into amendments
and waivers to each of these credit agreements to extend the
deadline for Visteon to deliver its first quarter 2005 financial
statements until July 29, 2005, which was subsequently
amended as discussed below, and change the Eurocurrency margin
to 250 bps for the 364-Day Credit Agreement and Five-Year
Credit Agreement and to 275 bps for the Term
Loan Credit Agreement. On June 19, 2005, the 364-Day
Credit Agreement expired.
On June 24, 2005, Visteon entered into a $300 million
short-term secured revolving credit agreement (the
“Short-Term Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of
financial institutions, and entered into amendments and
restatements (the “Amendments”, and together with the
Short-Term Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”)
to the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit
Agreement to conform certain provisions of such agreements to
provisions of the Short-Term Credit Agreement. The Short-Term
Credit Agreement will expire on December 15, 2005.
Further, the Credit Agreements provided that Visteon had until
December 10, 2005 to provide quarterly financial
statements for each of the periods ended March 31, 2005,
June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2005, which
Visteon fulfilled by filing these financial statements in
November 2005. In light of the upcoming expiration of the
Short-Term Credit Agreement in December 2005, the company
is exploring its financing alternatives.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreements bear interest at variable
rates equal to, at our election, (i) 3.50% plus the higher
of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate
plus 50 bps, or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate plus 4.50%.
Visteon elects the basis of the interest rate at the time of
each borrowing. Visteon also pays a commitment fee of
50 bps in arrears on the average undrawn amount of the
facility each quarter.

NOTE 9. |
Debt — (Continued) |
The Credit Agreements contain, among other things, conditions
precedent, covenants, representations and warranties and events
of default customary for facilities of this type. Such covenants
include the requirement to use the proceeds of certain
subsidiary or asset sales, additional indebtedness and
sale-leaseback transactions to reduce unused commitments and
prepay or cash collateralize extensions of credit, certain
restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens,
acquisitions and other investments, mergers, consolidations,
liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and
other repayments in respect of capital stock, voluntary
prepayments of other indebtedness, capital expenditures,
transactions with affiliates, sale-leaseback transactions,
changes in fiscal year, hedging arrangements, negative pledge
clauses, subsidiary distributions and the activities of a
certain holding company subsidiary, subject to certain
exceptions. The Credit Agreements also contain financial
covenants based on consolidated leverage ratios, which are
tested at each quarter-end using the ratio of
(a) Consolidated Total Debt to (b) Consolidated
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
(“EBITDA”), excluding, most notably, permitted
non-recurring expenses or losses and income or gains (each as
defined in the Short-Term Credit Agreement). The above mentioned
ratio cannot exceed 3.75 to 1 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, 5.00 to 1 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, 4.20 to 1 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2005, 3.50 to 1 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2006, 3.25 to 1 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2006, 3.00 to 1 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2006, and 2.50 to 1 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2006 and thereafter. We were in
compliance with this covenant as of June 30, 2005.
As of June 30, 2005, there were about $106 million of
obligations under standby letters of credit under the 5-year
revolving portion of the Credit Agreements. In addition, about
$12 million in debt issue costs were incurred in the second
quarter of 2005 and will be amortized pro-rata over the
remaining life of the Credit Agreements.
7.95% notes due August 1, 2005
On April 6, 2004, Visteon repurchased $250 million of
the 7.95% notes that were due on August 1, 2005. In
the second quarter of 2004, Visteon recorded a pre-tax debt
extinguishment charge of $11 million, consisting of
redemption premiums and transaction costs ($19 million),
offset partially by the accelerated recognition of gains from
interest rate swaps associated with the repurchased debt
($8 million).
Other
Prior to April 2005, Visteon had maintained a trade payables
program through General Electric Capital Corporation
(“GECC”) that provided financial flexibility to
Visteon and its suppliers. Approximately $69 million was
outstanding to GECC under this program at December 31, 2004
which was reported in debt payable within one year in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Visteon terminated the program in
April 2005.
During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon terminated interest
rate swaps with a notional amount of $200 million related
to the 8.25% notes due August 1, 2010 and received
$7 million in cash. The fair value of the interest rate
swaps at termination was deferred as part of the underlying debt
balance and amortized as a reduction in interest expense over
the remaining term of the debt.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
7.95% notes due August 1, 2005
On August 1, 2005, Visteon retired the remaining
$250 million of 7.95% notes that were due on
August 1, 2005. Visteon borrowed $450 million under
the Credit Agreements to fund the maturity and for general
working capital requirements. A portion of this borrowing was
repaid upon receipt of a $250 million loan from Ford on
September 19, 2005.

(Loss) Income Per Share of Common Stock |
Basic net (loss) income per share of common stock is calculated
by dividing reported net (loss) income by the average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period,
adjusted for restricted stock. The calculation of diluted net
(loss) income per share takes into account the effect of
dilutive potential common stock, such as stock options, and
contingently returnable shares, such as restricted stock.

For the second quarter and first half of 2005, potential common
stock of about 1,649,000 shares and 1,855,000 shares,
respectively, are excluded from the calculation of diluted
(loss) per share because the effect of including them would have
been antidilutive due to the losses incurred during the period.
In addition, during the first half of 2005 and 2004, options to
purchase about 15,759,000 shares of common stock and about
7,693,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at exercise
prices ranging from about $6 per share to $22 per
share and $11 per share to $22 per share,
respectively, and which expire at various dates between 2009 and
2013 and 2009 and 2012, respectively, were outstanding but were
not included in the computation of diluted (loss) per share
because the options’ exercise price was greater than the
average market price of the common shares.

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”),
“Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage), and is
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Visteon has not determined
the effect the adoption of SFAS 151 will have on either its
results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 15. |
Litigation and Claims |
Securities and Related Matters
In February 2005, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
against Visteon and certain current and former officers of
Visteon. In July 2005, the Public Employees’
Retirement System of Mississippi was appointed as lead plaintiff
in this matter. In September 2005, the lead plaintiff filed an
amended complaint, which alleges, among other things, that
Visteon and its independent registered public accounting firm,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, made misleading statements of
material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary in
order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The named plaintiff
seeks to represent a class consisting of purchasers of
Visteon’s securities during the period between
June 28, 2000 and January 31, 2005. Class
action status has not yet been certified in this litigation.
In March 2005, a number of current and former directors and
officers were named as defendants in two shareholder derivative
suits pending in the State of Michigan Circuit Court for the
County of Wayne. As is customary in derivative suits, Visteon
has been named as a defendant in these actions. As a nominal
defendant, Visteon is not liable for any damages in these suits
nor is any specific relief sought against Visteon. The
complaints allege that, among other things, the individual
defendants breached their fiduciary duties of good faith and
loyalty and aided and abetted such breaches during the period
between January 23, 2004 and January 31, 2005 in
connection with Visteon’s conduct concerning, among other
things, the matters alleged in the securities class action
discussed immediately above.
In March and April 2005, Visteon and a number of current and
former employees, officers and directors were named as
defendants in three class action lawsuits brought under ERISA in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan. In September 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended and
consolidated complaint, which generally alleges that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA during
the class period by, among other things, continuing to offer
Visteon stock as an investment alternative under the Visteon
Investment Plan (and the Visteon Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees, together the “Plans”), failing to disclose
complete and accurate information regarding the prudence of
investing in Visteon stock, failing to monitor the actions of
certain of the defendants, and failing to avoid conflicts of
interest or promptly resolve them. These ERISA claims are
predicated upon factual allegations similar to those raised in
the derivative and securities class actions described
immediately above. The consolidated complaint was brought on
behalf of a named plaintiff and a putative class consisting of
all participants or beneficiaries of the Plans whose accounts
included Visteon stock at any time from July 20, 2001
through May 25, 2005. Class action status has not yet been
certified in this litigation.
Visteon and its current and former directors and officers intend
to contest the foregoing lawsuits vigorously. However, at this
time Visteon is not able to predict with certainty the final
outcome of each of the foregoing lawsuits or its potential
exposure with respect to each such lawsuit. In the event of an
unfavorable resolution of any of these matters, Visteon’s
earnings and cash flows in one or more periods could be
materially affected to the extent any other loss is not covered
by insurance or applicable reserves.

Litigation and Claims — (Continued) |
Other Matters
Various other legal actions, governmental investigations and
proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or
asserted in the future against Visteon, including those arising
out of alleged defects in Visteon’s products; governmental
regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters;
customer, supplier and other contractual relationships;
intellectual property rights; product warranties; product
recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing
matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other
treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for
recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions,
or other relief which, if granted, would require very large
expenditures.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of
individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance.
Reserves have been established by Visteon for matters discussed
in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed
probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that
some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could
be decided unfavorably to Visteon and could require Visteon to
pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of
amounts, that cannot be estimated at June 30, 2005 and that
are in excess of established reserves. Visteon does not
reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based
on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters
would have a material effect on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is
possible.

|
NOTE 16. |
Subsequent Events |
Certain events have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2005
that, although they do not impact the reported balances or
results of operations as of that date, are material to
Visteon’s ongoing operations. Those items include: the
completion of certain agreements and transactions with Ford in
September and October of 2005 as described more fully in
Note 3, “Arrangements with Ford and its
Affiliates;” notes maturity in August 2005 as described
more fully in Note 9, “Debt;” and shareholder,
ERISA and derivative lawsuits initiated in early 2005 as
described more fully in Note 15, “Litigation and
Claims.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Visteon Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Visteon Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30,
2005, and the related consolidated statement of operations for
each of the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 and the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004. These
interim financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A
review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, of
stockholders’ equity, and of cash flows for the year then
ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 and the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004; and in our report dated March 16,
2005, except for the restatement described in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements and the matter described in
the penultimate paragraph of Management’s Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, as to which the date
is November 22, 2005, we expressed (i) an unqualified
opinion (with an explanatory paragraph relating to the change,
during 2004 of the Company’s method of determining the cost
of certain inventories from the last-in, first-out method to the
first-in, first-out method) on those consolidated financial
statements, (ii) an unqualified opinion on
management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and
(iii) an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The
consolidated financial statements and management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31,
2004, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company restated its December 31, 2004 and
June 30, 2004 financial statements.

ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The financial data presented herein are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management reflect those adjustments, including
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of
such information. Reference should be made to the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes included in
Visteon’s 2004 Form 10-K/ A.
Restatement
Visteon has restated its previously issued consolidated
financial statements for 2004 for accounting corrections related
to freight, raw material costs, other supplier costs and income
tax matters.
As a result of the restatement, previously reported net income
decreased by $4 million ($0.03 per share) and
$3 million ($0.02 per share) for the second quarter
and first half ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
Further information on the nature and impact of these accounting
corrections is provided in Note 2, “Restatement of
Financial Statements,” to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Overview
Sales for the second quarter of 2005 were moderately higher
compared to the second quarter of 2004, as an increase in
non-Ford sales more than offset a decrease in Ford sales.
Consistent with our strategy to increase our customer and
geographic diversification, non-Ford sales reached
$1.8 billion for the second quarter of 2005, up
29 percent over the same period in 2004, and represented
36 percent of total sales. A majority of these non-Ford
sales were outside of North America. Visteon expects the growth
rate for non-Ford sales to moderate over the remainder of the
year. In addition, our Ford sales are expected to be below
comparable periods last year.
Special charges in the quarter, totaling $1,176 million,
contributed to a net loss of $1,238 million. Special
charges include the non-cash impairment of $920 million
related to approximately $1.5 billion of assets transferred
to a Ford-controlled entity during the fourth quarter of 2005
and the non-cash asset impairment of $256 million to reduce
the net book value of fixed assets related to the driveline and
engine air/fuel systems product groups in Europe and Brazil.
The second quarter of 2005, net loss of $1,238 million
compares to net income of $20 million in the same period in
2004. Operating results were impacted by the incremental costs
of supporting new non-Ford business and the underutilization of
facilities supporting the Ford North American business,
combined with pressure on margins due to price reductions, raw
material cost increases in certain commodity groups, bad debt
expense, higher postretirement benefits costs, and adverse
product mix.
During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon entered into several
interim agreements with Ford that accelerated payment terms from
Ford, reduced our UAW labor costs, and reduced the level of
funding otherwise needed for planned capital expenditures. One
of these agreements was amended in May to further accelerate
payment terms from Ford. The net benefit of these agreements on
our results of operations for the second quarter of 2005 was
approximately $75 million. For the first half of 2005, the
benefit was approximately $101 million.

|
ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
In the face of a challenging first half of 2005, we improved
cash flow from operations by $157 million over the
comparable period last year, and our cash balance grew by
$71 million since year-end 2004. This reflects the funding
agreement with Ford entered into in March 2005 and subsequently
amended in May 2005 under which we received an acceleration of
payment terms for certain U.S. payables to Visteon
partially offset by reductions in debt. The reduction to our
capital expenditures for the first half of 2005 compared to the
same period last year reflects the substantial completion of our
facilities consolidation effort in Southeastern Michigan at the
end of 2004 and our continued product strategy focus.
Intensifying customer price pressures, together with expected
continuing declines in Ford’s North American production
volumes and raw material cost increases in certain commodity
groups, highlight the need to make strategic and structural
changes in the U.S. in order to achieve a long-term
sustainable and competitive business. On
October 1, 2005, Visteon completed the transfer of
twenty-three of its North American facilities, including all of
its UAW master agreement plants, to a Ford-controlled entity. As
part of the transactions, Ford also agreed to reimburse up to
$550 million of Visteon’s future restructuring actions
and eliminated a significant portion of Visteon’s liability
for certain postretirement health care and life insurance
benefit obligations. These actions address some of the strategic
or structural challenges facing our business, but additional
restructuring actions are likely if Visteon is to achieve
sustainable success in an increasingly competitive environment.

ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
At June 30, 2005, Visteon has classified the
manufacturing facilities and associated assets, including
inventory, machinery, equipment and tooling, as well as
associated liabilities including postretirement benefits, to be
sold as “held for sale.” Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”),
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets,” requires long-lived assets that are considered
“held for sale” to be measured at the lower of their
carrying value or fair value less cost to sell and future
depreciation of such assets is ceased. During the second quarter
of 2005, the Automotive Operations recorded a pre-tax non-cash
impairment of $920 million to reduce those assets
considered “held for sale” to their aggregate
estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair values were
determined primarily based on prices for similar groups of
assets determined by third-party valuation firms.
During the second quarter of 2005, the Automotive Operations
recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment of $256 million, to
reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets. This
write-down was based on an assessment by product line asset
group, excluding those assets considered held for sale,
completed in the second quarter of 2005, of the recoverability
of our long-lived assets in light of the challenging environment
in which we operate, and included considering the impact of
lower than anticipated current and near term future year
production volumes and the related impact on our future
operating projections. Assets are considered impaired if the
book value is greater than the undiscounted cash flows expected
from the use of the asset. As a result of this analysis the
assets located in the U.K, Germany, Poland and Brazil related to
two product groupings were considered impaired: driveline and
engine/air fuel systems. The impairment was determined on a
“held for use” basis. Fair values were determined
primarily based on prices for similar groups of assets
determined by third-party valuation firms.
During the first quarter of 2005, Visteon recorded pre-tax
special charges of $7 million in costs of sales related to
a continuation of an incentive program offered during the fourth
quarter of 2004 to eligible U.S. salaried employees to
voluntarily separate employment. Terms of the program required
the effective termination date to be no later than
March 31, 2005, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
Through March 31, 2005, 409 employees have voluntarily
elected to separate employment under this program, comprised of
374 employees during the fourth quarter of 2004 and 35 employees
during the first quarter of 2005. As of June 30, 2005,
substantially all of the employees have terminated their
employment. This U.S. salaried voluntary separation
incentive program is expected to have a payback of slightly more
than one year.
During the first half of 2004, Visteon European Plan for Growth
charges are comprised of $9 million related to the
separation of hourly employees located at Visteon’s plants
in Europe through a continuation of a special voluntary
retirement and separation program started in 2002. Plant closure
costs of $10 million are related to involuntary separation
of about 200 employees as a result of the closure of our
La Verpilliere, France manufacturing facility.
Cash payments related to special charges were $61 million
and $87 million during the first half of 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The amounts include payments to Ford of about
$15 million and $59 million, respectively, of
previously accrued amounts related to an agreement entered into
in 2003 to reimburse Ford for the actual net costs of
transferring seating production, including costs related to Ford
hourly employee voluntary retirement and separation programs
that Ford implemented as well as postretirement health care
liabilities associated with hourly employee transfers.

ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
We continue to assess the recoverability of our long-lived
assets in light of the challenging environment in which we
operate and as part of our business planning process. If
conditions, including the agreements with Ford which
significantly impact the carrying value of certain assets and
related liabilities supporting the Ford North American business,
indicate that any of these assets are impaired, impairment
charges will be required, although we cannot predict the timing
or range of amounts, if any, which may result.

Sales for Automotive Operations in the second quarter of 2005
were $4,868 million, compared with $4,733 million in
the second quarter of 2004, an increase of $135 million or
3%. Sales to Ford and affiliates declined mainly due to lower
Ford vehicle production ($189 million), selling price
reductions and unfavorable vehicle mix. Sales to other customers
increased mainly due to new business. Changes in foreign
currency exchange rates increased sales to Ford and affiliates
and sales to other customers by $49 million and
$71 million, respectively.
Sales for Glass Operations of $135 million in the
second quarter of 2005 were essentially flat as compared to the
same period in 2004. Increased non-Ford sales were offset by
lower Ford North America production volume and price reductions.
Costs of Sales includes primarily material, labor,
manufacturing overhead and other costs, such as product
development costs. Costs of sales for the second quarter of 2005
were $5,936 million, compared with $4,582 million in
the second quarter of 2004. Results were affected by special
charges which were $1,176 million in 2005 and
$5 million in 2004. The increased special charges reflect
non-cash asset impairment in 2005 related to assets held for
sale which were transferred to a Ford-controlled entity on
October 1, 2005 and to fixed assets related to the
driveline and engine air/fuel systems product groups in Europe
and Brazil.
33
|
|
ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Costs of sales increased as a result of additional costs at
facilities supporting new non-Ford business, without
corresponding reductions at facilities supporting the Ford North
American business which are underutilized. Costs of sales also
reflect the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes
($114 million).
Costs of sales were reduced by certain net efficiencies totaling
$76 million. This net amount includes material cost
reductions, the benefit of the Ford funding agreement on our
labor costs, and labor efficiencies. Increased raw material
costs in certain commodity groups, wages and other benefits
including OPEB, depreciation and amortization, and freight were
partial offsets.
Selling, administrative and other expenses for the second
quarter of 2005 were $274 million, compared with
$238 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase
primarily reflects increased bad debt expense ($43 million
in the second quarter of 2005, $42 million higher than
second quarter 2004), the impact of foreign currency exchange
rates ($3 million), and costs associated with negotiations
with Ford. These increases were partially offset by lower IT
costs ($5 million) and other cost efficiencies.
Net interest expense and debt extinguishment cost of
$31 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with
$30 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase
primarily reflects higher average debt balances, lower average
cash balances, and higher average borrowing rates partially
offset by the non-recurrence of an $11 million debt
extinguishment charge in the second quarter of 2004.
Equity in net income of affiliated companies was
$8 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with
$18 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decrease is
related primarily to our affiliates in China, which were
impacted by lower customer production and price reductions.
(Loss) income before income taxes and minority interests,
including and excluding special charges, is the primary
profitability measure used by our chief operating decision
makers. The following table shows (loss) income before income
taxes and minority interests for the second quarter of 2005 and

Automotive Operations’ second quarter 2005 loss before
income taxes and minority interests was $1,225 million
compared with a profit of $35 million for the second
quarter of 2004. Results were affected by special charges which
were $1,176 million in 2005 and $5 million in 2004.
The increased special charges reflect a non-cash asset
impairment in 2005 related to assets which were transferred to a
Ford-controlled entity on October 1, 2005 and to fixed
assets related to the driveline and engine air/fuel systems
product groups in Europe and Brazil.
34

ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
The decrease also reflects the impact of lower Ford vehicle
production volume in North America and Europe and
unfavorable vehicle mix ($93 million), increased bad debt
expense ($43 million in 2005, $42 million higher than
2004), partially offset by increased, albeit lower margin, sales
to non-Ford customers. Reduced prices to our customers were more
than offset by favorable cost performance. Cost performance
includes the benefit of the Ford funding agreement on our labor
costs, material cost reductions and labor efficiencies.
Increased costs for raw material in certain commodity groups,
wages and other benefits including OPEB, warranty, depreciation
and amortization, and freight were partial offsets.
Loss before income taxes and minority interests for
Glass Operations in the second quarter of 2005 was
$5 million compared with a profit of $3 million for
the second quarter of 2004. The decrease reflects lower Ford
North American production volume and price reductions offset
partially by favorable cost performance despite increased OPEB
expense.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes was a net benefit of
$2 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared with a
provision of $6 million for the second quarter of 2004.
Despite significant operating losses in the quarter,
Visteon’s net benefit for income taxes for the second
quarter of 2005 was less than what would be expected in light of
Visteon’s inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax
losses in the U.S. and certain foreign countries, where full
valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets have been
maintained since the third quarter of 2004. Non-recurring and
other discrete tax items recorded in the second quarter of 2005
resulted in a tax benefit of $29 million, reflecting
primarily a reduction in our income tax reserves corresponding
with the conclusion of U.S. Federal income tax audits for
2003, 2002 and certain pre-spin periods. Offsetting these items
was $27 million of income tax expense related to those
countries where Visteon is profitable and whose results continue
to be tax-effected and accrued withholding taxes. Non-recurring
and other discrete tax items recorded in second quarter of 2004
resulted in a tax benefit of $2 million.
Minority interests in net income of subsidiaries was
$10 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared with
$12 million in the second quarter of 2004. Minority
interest amounts are related primarily to Halla Climate Control
Corporation, a Korean company, of which Visteon holds a 70%
ownership interest.

Sales for Automotive Operations in the first half of 2005 were
$9,717 million, compared with $9,566 million in the
first half of 2004, an increase of $151 million or 2%.
Sales to Ford and affiliates declined mainly due to lower Ford
vehicle production ($483 million), price reductions and
unfavorable vehicle mix. Sales to other customers increased
mainly due to new business launches in the latter half of 2004.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased sales to
Ford and affiliates and other customers by $105 million and
$160 million, respectively.
Sales for Glass Operations were $273 million in the
first half of 2005, compared with $276 million in the first
half 2004. Increased non-Ford sales were offset by lower Ford
North American production volume and price reductions.
Costs of Sales includes primarily material, labor,
manufacturing overhead and other costs, such as product
development costs. Costs of sales for the first half of 2005
were $10,783 million, compared with $9,237 million in
the first half of 2004. Results were affected by special
charges, which were $1,183 million in 2005 and
$19 million in 2004. The increased special charges reflect
a non-cash asset impairment in 2005 related to assets held for
sale which were transferred to a Ford-controlled entity on
October 1, 2005 and to fixed assets related to the
driveline and engine air/fuel systems product groups in Europe
and Brazil.
Costs of sales increased as a result of additional costs at

Costs of sales were reduced by certain net efficiencies totaling
$121 million. This net amount includes material cost
reductions, the benefit of the Ford funding agreement on our
labor costs, and labor efficiencies. Increased raw material
costs in certain commodity groups, wages and benefits including
OPEB, warranty, depreciation and amortization, and freight, were
partial offsets.
Selling, administrative and other expenses for the first
half of 2005 were $524 million, compared with
$503 million in the first half of 2004. The increase
primarily reflects increased bad debt expense ($51 million
in the first half of 2005, $47 million higher than the
first half of 2004), the impact of foreign currency exchange
rates ($9 million), and costs associated with the
transactional negotiations with Ford. These increases were
partially offset by lower IT costs ($29 million) and other
cost efficiencies.
Net interest expense and debt extinguishment cost of
$60 million in the first half of 2005 was $11 million
higher than the first half of 2004 primarily reflecting higher
average debt balances, lower average cash balances, and higher
average borrowing rates partially offset by the non-recurrence
of an $11 million debt extinguishment charge in the second
quarter of 2004.
Equity in net income of affiliated companies was
$14 million in the first half of 2005, compared with
$29 million in the first half of 2004. The decrease is
related primarily to our affiliates in China, which were

Automotive Operations’ first half 2005 loss before income
taxes and minority interests was $1,348 million compared
with a profit of $70 million for the first half of 2004.
Results were affected by special charges which were
$1,183 million in 2005 and $19 million in 2004. The
increased special charges primarily reflect non-cash asset
impairment in 2005 related to assets held for sale which were
transferred to a Ford-controlled entity on
October 1, 2005 and to fixed assets related to the
driveline and engine air/fuel systems product groups in Europe
and Brazil.
The increased loss also reflects the impact of lower Ford
vehicle production volume in North America and Europe and
unfavorable vehicle mix ($268 million), and increased bad
debt expense ($51 million in 2005, $47 million higher
than 2004), partially offset by increased, albeit lower margin,
sales to non-Ford customers. Reduced prices to our customers
were offset by favorable cost performance. Cost performance
includes material cost reductions, the benefit of the Ford
funding agreement on our labor costs, and labor efficiencies.
Increased raw material costs in certain commodity groups, wages
and other benefits including OPEB, warranty, depreciation and
amortization, and freight were partial offsets.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Loss before income taxes and minority interests for
Glass Operations in the first half of 2005 was
$15 million compared with a profit of $12 million for
the first half of 2004. The decrease reflects lower Ford North
American production volume and price reductions offset partially
by favorable cost performance.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes was a total
provision of $20 million for the first half of both 2005
and 2004. Visteon’s provision for income taxes for the
first half of 2005 reflects the inability to record a tax
benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign
countries, where full valuation allowances against
Visteon’s deferred tax assets have been maintained since
the third quarter of 2004. The provision reflects primarily
income tax expense related to those countries where Visteon is
profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected,
accrued withholding taxes, and certain non-recurring and other
discrete tax items. Non-recurring and other discrete tax items
recorded in the first half of 2005 resulted in a net tax benefit
of $37 million, including a net benefit related to
adjustments to Visteon’s income tax reserves, and benefits
related to a change in the estimated benefit associated with tax
losses in Canada and the favorable resolution of tax matters in
Mexico. Non-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the
first half of 2004 resulted in a tax benefit of $6 million.
Minority interests in net income of subsidiaries was
$18 million in the first half of 2005, compared with
$21 million in the first half of 2004. Minority interest
amounts are related primarily to Halla Climate Control
Corporation, a Korean company, of which Visteon holds a 70%
ownership interest.
Net (loss) income for the first half of 2005 and 2004 is

Visteon reported a net loss for the first half of 2005 of
$1,401 million compared with net income of $41 million
for the first half of 2004 because of the factors described

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Arrangements with Ford and its Affiliates
Funding Agreement
On March 10, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into a
funding agreement, effective as of March 1, 2005,
under which Ford has agreed (a) to accelerate the payment
on or prior to March 31, 2005 of not less than
$120 million of payables that were not required to be paid
to Visteon until after March 31, 2005; (b) to
accelerate the payment terms for certain U.S. payables to
Visteon arising on or after April 1, 2005 from an
average of 33 days after the date of sale to an average of
26 days; (c) to reduce the amount of certain wages by
23.75% that Visteon is currently obligated to reimburse Ford
with respect to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly employees that
work at Visteon facilities, beginning with the pay period
commencing February 21, 2005; and (d) to release
Visteon from its obligation to reimburse Ford for Ford profit
sharing payments with respect to Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW
hourly employees that accrue in 2005.
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into an
amendment to the funding agreement. This amendment further
accelerates the payment terms for certain U.S. payables to
Visteon arising on or after June 1, 2005 to
(i) an average of 18 days for the period from
June 1, 2005 through July 31, 2005;
(ii) an average of 22 days for the period from
August 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005;
and (iii) an average of 26 days for the period from
January 1, 2006 until termination of the agreement.
This agreement was terminated in connection with the closing of
the transactions discussed below.
During the first half of 2005, costs of sales were reduced by
$101 million as a result of the funding agreement’s
impact on labor costs for Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW hourly
employees. That reduction was comprised of $106 million in
reduced charges from Ford and a one-time reduction of
$17 million in previously established vacation accruals and
was offset by $17 million of asset write-offs and
$5 million from reduced inventory valuations. Cash flows
provided by operating activities for the first half of 2005 were
favorably impacted by the reduced wage reimbursements to Ford
and by the acceleration of payment terms from Ford under the
funding agreement.
Master Equipment Bailment Agreement
Also on March 10, 2005, Ford and Visteon entered into
a master equipment bailment agreement, effective as of
January 1, 2005, pursuant to which Ford has agreed to
pay third-party suppliers for certain machinery, equipment,
tooling and fixtures and related assets, which may be acquired
during the term of the agreement to be held by Visteon, which
are primarily used to produce components for Ford at certain of
the Visteon plants in which Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees
work. The agreement covers (a) certain capital expenditure
project commitments made by Visteon before
January 1, 2005, where less than one-half of the full
amount of the project cost was paid by Visteon as of
January 1, 2005; and (b) capital expenditures for
equipment where the expenditure has not yet been committed by
Visteon and which is subsequently approved by Ford. To the
extent approved capital expenditures are related to the
modification of existing equipment, title of the modified
equipment would transfer to Ford.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into an
amendment of the master equipment bailment agreement, effective
as of May 1, 2005, under which Ford agreed to pay
third-party suppliers for certain machinery, equipment, tooling,
fixtures and related assets that are used to produce certain
components for Ford at the remaining Visteon plants in which
Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees work which were not
previously covered under the original March 10, 2005
agreement. This agreement was terminated in connection with the
closing of the transactions discussed below.
During the first half of 2005, Visteon recognized a charge in
costs of sales of about $17 million related to capitalized
costs of $27 million for projects that were less than
one-half complete which will be transferred to a Ford-controlled
entity. The loss primarily represents costs incurred and
capitalized by Visteon at December 31, 2004 associated
with these projects. Cash proceeds of $10 million from
these sales were received during the second quarter of 2005.
Sale of North American Facilities
On May 24, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into a
non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”),
setting forth a framework for the transfer of twenty-three North
American facilities and related assets (the
“Business”) to a Ford-controlled entity. In
September 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into several
definitive agreements and Visteon completed the transfer of the
Business to ACH, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
Visteon, pursuant to the terms of the agreements described
below. On October 1, 2005, Ford acquired from Visteon
all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
parent of ACH in exchange for Ford’s payment to Visteon of
approximately $311 million (subject to post-closing
adjustment), as well as the forgiveness of certain OPEB
liabilities and other obligations relating to hourly employees
associated with the Business, and the assumption of certain
other liabilities with respect to the Business, each in
accordance with the agreements described below.
Following the signing of the MOU and at June 30, 2005,
Visteon has classified the manufacturing facilities and
associated assets, including inventory, machinery, equipment and
tooling, as well as associated liabilities including
postretirement benefits, to be sold as “held for
sale”. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144 (“SFAS 144”), “Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires
long-lived assets that are considered “held for sale”
to be measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair
value less cost to sell and future depreciation of such assets
is ceased. During the second quarter of 2005, the Automotive
Operations recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment of
$920 million to write-down those assets considered
“held for sale” to their aggregate estimated fair
value less cost to sell. Fair values were determined primarily
based on prices for similar groups of assets determined by
third-party valuation firms.
To effectuate the transactions discussed above, Visteon entered
the following agreements, all dated as of
September 12, 2005, with Ford, a Master Agreement,
(the “Master Agreement”), a Visteon “A”
Transaction Agreement, (the “Transaction Agreement”),
a Visteon “B” Purchase Agreement, (the “Purchase
Agreement”), and a Contribution Agreement, (the
“Contribution Agreement”), with Automotive Components
Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”). In addition, Visteon
entered into the following agreements in connection with the
closing of the transactions discussed above.

Warrant and Stockholder Agreement. On
October 1, 2005, Visteon issued to Ford a warrant (the
“Warrant”) to purchase 25 million shares of
Visteon common stock at an exercise price equal to
$6.90 per share, and entered into the Stockholder
Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2005, with Ford, which
provides Ford with certain registration rights with respect to
the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant and contains
restrictions on the transfer of the Warrant and the underlying
shares of common stock. |

businesses. The Escrow Agreement provides that Visteon will be
reimbursed from the escrow account for the first
$250 million of reimbursable restructuring costs (as
defined in the Escrow Agreement), and up to one half of the next
$300 million of such costs. In addition, any residual
amounts in the escrow account after December 31, 2012 would
be paid to Visteon, except in the event of a “change of
control” of Visteon (as defined in the Escrow Agreement),
and in which event residual amounts, if any remain, will be paid
to Ford. |
|
|
(iii) |
Reimbursement Agreement. Pursuant to the Reimbursement
Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2005 (the
“Reimbursement Agreement”), between Visteon and Ford,
Ford has agreed to reimburse Visteon for up to $150 million
of separation costs associated with those Visteon salaried
employees who are assigned to work at ACH, and whose services
are no longer required by ACH or a subsequent buyer (the
“Employee Restructuring Costs”). The Reimbursement
Agreement provides that Ford will reimburse Visteon for the
first $50 million of the Employee Restructuring Costs, and
up to one half of the next $200 million of such costs. In
addition, Ford will pay into the escrow account under the Escrow
Agreement any unused funds as of December 31, 2009
(or, if earlier, the date on which there are no longer any
Visteon salaried employees leased to ACH). |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Master Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Master
Services Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2005
(the “Master Services Agreement”), between Visteon and
ACH, Visteon will provide certain information technology and
other transitional services (e.g., human resources and
accounting services) to ACH. The services will be provided at a
rate approximately equal to Visteon’s cost until such time
as the services are no longer required by ACH but not later than
December 31, 2008. ACH may elect to continue to obtain
services for up to an additional 12 month period at cost
plus a 5% mark-up. In the event that a component of the Business
is sold to a third party, services will be provided by Visteon
for up to 24 months after each such sale, as requested by
the buyer, on additional terms. Subject to certain limitations,
ACH may terminate the Master Services Agreement prior to the
expiration of its term upon 30 days prior written notice to
Visteon. |

Visteon Salaried Employee Lease Agreement. Pursuant to
the Visteon Salaried Employee Lease Agreement, effective as of
October 1, 2005 (the “Salaried Employee Lease
Agreement”), between Visteon and ACH, Visteon will provide
ACH with the services of Visteon salaried employees to enable
ACH to continue to conduct the Business. Visteon will lease
salaried employees and provide agency employees to ACH at a rate
approximately equal to Visteon’s cost until
December 31, 2009, unless the parties agree to an
earlier termination date. The term may be extended at ACH’s
option for an additional 12 month period ending
December 31, 2010, during which ACH will reimburse Visteon
for its costs plus a mark-up of 5% (excluding certain taxes).
Upon a sale or transfer of all or a part of the Business,
Visteon, ACH and the buyer will mutually agree on terms for
transitioning the leased employees to the buyer, and Visteon
will provide human resource services to the buyer for up to
24 months pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, or
under similar terms and conditions after the termination of that
agreement. Leased employees who do not receive offers of
comparable employment from the buyer will be eligible for
severance benefits, certain costs of which may be reimbursed to
Visteon by Ford under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement
(as defined above). |
|
|
(vi) |
Visteon Hourly Employee Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the
Visteon Hourly Employee Lease Agreement, effective as of
October 1, 2005, between Visteon and ACH, Visteon will
provide ACH with the services of (a) any new hourly
employees hired under the terms of the Master Visteon-UAW
Collective Bargaining Agreement and (b) hourly employees
covered by the UAW Local #1216-Visteon Corporation Regional
Assembly and Manufacturing LLC, Bellevue Plant, Labor Agreement.
The services will be provided at a rate approximately equal to
Visteon’s cost until the termination of employment of all
of the leased employees or earlier agreement of the parties. In
the event of a sale or transfer of all or part of the Business
to a third party, Visteon and ACH will agree on the disposition
of the leased employees, subject to UAW consent, and Visteon

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Visteon’s cash and liquidity needs are impacted by the
level, variability, and timing of our customers’ worldwide
vehicle production, which varies based on economic conditions
and market shares in major markets. Our intra-year needs are
impacted also by seasonal effects in the industry, such as the
shutdown of operations for about two weeks in July, the
subsequent ramp-up of new model production and the additional
one-week shutdown in December by our primary North American
customers. These seasonal effects normally require use of
liquidity resources during the first and third quarters.
Further, as our operating profitability has become more
concentrated with our foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures,
our cash balance located outside the U.S. has increased.
Approximately one-fourth of Visteon’s cash at
June 30, 2005 was held in the U.S. Visteon’s
ability to move cash among its operating locations is subject to
the operating needs of each location as well as restrictions
imposed by local laws.
43
|
|
ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Visteon’s balance sheet reflects cash of $823 million
and total debt of $1,921 million at
June 30, 2005, compared with cash of $752 million
and total debt of $2,021 million at
December 31, 2004. The Ford interim agreements entered
into in the first quarter aided our liquidity position through
the first half of 2005, and continued to do so through modified
payment terms, reduction in labor reimbursement costs and Ford
funding of capital expenditures at certain U.S. facilities
through the third quarter. Our overall level of capital
expenditures was reduced compared to the same period last year,
and the dividend was suspended in February 2005, further
conserving cash resources. Finally, as discussed further above,
in the fourth quarter we completed a series of transactions with
Ford that transfer all of our UAW master agreement plants to a
Ford-controlled entity and provide access to additional
restructuring funds.
Visteon also took several actions to address its immediate
liquidity access needs. During the second quarter in 2005,
Visteon obtained a $300 million short-term credit facility
and amended and restated its existing five-year credit and term
loan facilities, as further described below. Visteon also
renewed through March 2006 its U.S. non-Ford accounts
receivable securitization facility, and, despite reductions in
Visteon’s credit rating, maintained access to the full
amount of undivided interests that VRL can sell to the conduit
until December 15, 2005. In addition, Visteon
increased the sale of non-Ford receivables in Europe and
initiated a program in Asia in the first quarter of 2005, and
expects to continue to utilize such receivables securitization
facilities.
We believe that cash flow from operations, combined with access
to external liquidity sources, will be sufficient to fund
capital spending, debt maturities and other cash obligations in
2005. However, liquidity from internal or external sources to
meet these obligations is dependent on a number of factors,
including availability of cash balances, credit ratings,
industry economic factors, and the availability of the capital
markets. In addition, because Visteon was not timely in making
its SEC filings in 2005, we are ineligible to use Forms S-2
and S-3 to register securities until all required reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 have been timely filed
for 12 months prior to the filing of a registration
statement for those securities. Accordingly, we are unable to
use our presently effective shelf registration statement to sell
securities in the public market without first obtaining a waiver
from the SEC. Visteon can provide no assurance that, if needed,
additional liquidity will be available at the times or in the
amounts needed, or on terms and conditions acceptable to
Visteon. At June 30, 2005, Visteon was in compliance
with the covenants contained in its credit agreements, although
there can be no assurance that Visteon will remain in compliance
with such covenants in the future. If we were to violate a
financial covenant and not obtain a waiver, the credit
agreements could be terminated and amounts outstanding would be
accelerated. We can provide no assurance that, in such event,
that we would have access to sufficient liquidity resources to
repay such amounts.
Long-Term Debt
Visteon had $1,541 million of outstanding long-term debt at
June 30, 2005. This debt includes $705 million of
notes bearing interest at 8.25% due August 1, 2010,
$451 million of notes bearing interest at 7.00% due
March 10, 2014, $239 million of the five-year
term loan related to our facilities consolidation in
Southeastern Michigan due June 25, 2007, and
$146 million of various other, primarily
non-U.S. affiliate long-term debt instruments with various
maturities.
On August 1, 2005, Visteon borrowed $450 million
under the five-year revolving loan credit portion of the Credit
Agreements to fund the remaining $250 million of
7.95% notes that were due on August 1, 2005, and
for general working capital requirements. A portion of this
borrowing was repaid upon receipt of a $250 million loan
from Ford on September 19, 2005. The Ford loan was
repaid on September 30, 2005, at which time Visteon
received a $311 million deposit as consideration for
inventory of the transferred business, net of other amounts.

Financing Arrangements
We and our consolidated subsidiaries have credit line
arrangements with various banks throughout the world. As of
June 30, 2005, Visteon had $239 million of
borrowings outstanding, and about $106 million of
obligations under the standby letters of credit, under our
primary bank credit agreements described below. In addition, as
of September 30, 2005, approximately $276 million
was outstanding, primarily payable in non-U.S. currencies,
under committed facilities available to our consolidated
subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2005, our primary bank credit
agreements were (i) the 364-Day Credit Agreement, dated as
of June 18, 2004 (the “364-Day Credit
Agreement”), (ii) the Five-Year Term Loan Credit
Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2002 (the “Term
Loan Credit Agreement”), and (iii) the Five-Year
Revolving Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of
June 20, 2002 (the “Five-Year Credit
Agreement”). In May 2005, Visteon entered into
amendments and waivers to each of these credit agreements to
extend the deadline for Visteon to deliver its first quarter
2005 financial statements until July 29, 2005, which
was subsequently amended as discussed below, and change the
Eurocurrency margin to 250 bps for the 364-Day Credit
Agreement and Five-Year Credit Agreement and to 275 bps for
the Term Loan Credit Agreement. On June 19, 2005, the
364-Day Credit Agreement expired.
On June 24, 2005, Visteon entered into a
$300 million short-term secured revolving credit agreement
(the “Short-Term Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate
of financial institutions, and entered into amendments and
restatements (the “Amendments”, and together with the
Short-Term Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”)
to the Five-Year Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit
Agreement to conform certain provisions of such agreements to
provisions of the Short-Term Credit Agreement. The Short-Term
Credit Agreement will expire on December 15, 2005.
Further, the Credit Agreements provided that Visteon had until
December 10, 2005 to provide quarterly financial
statements for each of the periods ended
March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, and
September 30, 2005, which Visteon fulfilled by filing
these financial statements in November 2005. In light of
the upcoming expiration of the Short-Term Credit Agreement in
December 2005, Visteon is exploring its financing alternatives.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreements bear interest at variable
rates equal to, at our election, (i) 3.50% plus the higher
of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate
plus 50 bps, or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate plus 4.50%.
We elect the basis of the interest rate at the time of each
borrowing. Visteon also pays a commitment fee of 50 bps in
arrears on the average undrawn amount of the facility each
quarter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
The Credit Agreements contain, among other things, conditions
precedent, covenants, representations and warranties and events
of default customary for facilities of this type. Such covenants
include the requirement to use the proceeds of certain
subsidiary or asset sales, additional indebtedness and
sale-leaseback transactions to reduce unused commitments and
prepay or cash collateralize extensions of credit, certain
restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens,
acquisitions and other investments, mergers, consolidations,
liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and
other repayments in respect of capital stock, voluntary
prepayments of other indebtedness, capital expenditures,
transactions with affiliates, sale-leaseback transactions,
changes in fiscal year, hedging arrangements, negative pledge
clauses, subsidiary distributions and the activities of a
certain holding company subsidiary, subject to certain
exceptions. The Credit Agreements also contain financial
covenants based on consolidated leverage ratios, which are
tested at each quarter-end using the ratio of
(a) Consolidated Total Debt to (b) Consolidated
EBITDA, excluding, most notably, permitted non-recurring
expenses or losses and income or gains (each as defined in the
Short-Term Credit Agreement). The above mentioned ratio cannot
exceed 3.75 to 1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005,
5.00 to 1 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005,
4.20 to 1 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005,
3.50 to 1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, 3.25 to 1
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, 3.00 to 1 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006, and 2.50 to 1 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2006 and thereafter. We were in
compliance with this covenant as of June 30, 2005.
Subject to limited exceptions, each of Visteon’s direct and
indirect, existing and future, domestic subsidiaries acts as
guarantor for the Credit Agreements. Subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions, certain foreign subsidiaries of Visteon
may be designated by Visteon as borrowers for which Visteon will
act as guarantor. The Credit Agreements are secured by a
first-priority lien on substantially all material tangible and
intangible assets of Visteon and most of its domestic
subsidiaries, including, without limitation, intellectual
property, material owned real and personal property, all
intercompany debt, all of the capital stock of nearly all direct
and indirect domestic subsidiaries, as well as 65% of the stock
of many first tier foreign subsidiaries. The terms of the Credit
Agreements specifically limit the obligations to be secured by a
security interest in certain U.S. manufacturing properties
and U.S. manufacturing subsidiaries in order to ensure that
at the time of any borrowing under the Credit Agreements, that
the amount of the applicable borrowing which is secured by such
assets (together with other borrowings which are secured by such
assets and obligations in respect of certain sale-leaseback
transactions) do not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible
Assets (as defined in the indenture applicable to Visteon’s
outstanding bonds and debentures).

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Receivables Securitization Facilities and Other Liquidity
Sources
In March 2004, Visteon established a revolving accounts
receivable securitization facility in the U.S. The facility
allows for the sale of a portion of non-Ford U.S. trade
receivables to a wholly-owned consolidated special purpose
entity, VRL, which may then sell an undivided interest in the
receivables to an asset-backed multi-seller conduit which is
unrelated to Visteon or VRL. At June 30, 2005, VRL had
no sales in a pool of about $252 million of net
receivables. At June 30, 2005 the maximum amount of
undivided interests that VRL could have sold to the conduit was
approximately $67 million. Visteon expects the maximum
amount of undivided interest that VRL could sell to the conduit
during the fourth quarter of 2005 to be partially reduced due to
the transactions with Ford on October 1, 2005. The
facility has been extended to March 29, 2006 and is
extendable annually through March 2008 through mutual agreement
of both parties. The April 2005 reductions in
Visteon’s credit ratings would have effectively reduced the
maximum amount of undivided interest that VRL could sell to the
conduit to zero; however, Visteon has obtained a waiver to this
credit rating reduction effective through
December 15, 2005. In addition, Visteon increased the
capacity and sale of non-Ford receivables in Europe. The
European programs now provide for up to euro 80 million in
receivable sales. As of June 30, 2005, Visteon had
sold euro 64 million ($77 million). Visteon also
initiated a smaller program in Asia in the first quarter
of 2005 of which Japanese yen 489 million
($4 million) were sold as of June 30, 2005. The
Asia program provides for up to yen 1.5 billion in
receivable sales.
Prior to April 2005, Visteon had maintained a trade
payables program through General Electric Capital Corporation
(“GECC”) that provided financial flexibility to
Visteon and its suppliers. When a supplier participated in the
program, GECC paid the supplier the amount due from Visteon in
advance of the original due date. In exchange for the earlier
payment, our suppliers accepted a discounted payment. Visteon
paid GECC the full amount. Approximately $69 million was
outstanding to GECC under this program at
December 31, 2004. Amounts outstanding under this
program are supported by a stand-by letter of credit and are
reported in debt payable within one year in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. Visteon terminated the program in April 2005.
Credit Ratings
On April 20, 2005, Standard & Poor’s
(“S&P”) downgraded Visteon from BB+ to B+; on
April 21, 2005, Fitch downgraded Visteon from BB to B;
and on April 22, 2005 Moody’s downgraded Visteon
from Ba2 to B1.
On May 25, 2005, S&P announced that Visteon’s
B- corporate rating remained on Credit Watch, but changed
the implications from developing to positive subsequent to the
signing of the MOU with Ford. On May 26, 2005,
Moody’s confirmed Visteon’s B3 corporate rating and
SGL-4 rating and raised Visteon’s outlook from negative to
developing. On May 25, 2005, Fitch placed
Visteon’s B corporate rating on Positive Watch. On
June 29, 2005, Moody’s raised Visteon’s
corporate rating to B2 and Visteon’s SGL rating to 3,
while affirming Visteon’s senior unsecured rating of B3 and
raising Visteon’s outlook to stable.
On August 9, 2005, Fitch raised Visteon’s senior
debt to BB with a positive outlook. On
October 3, 2005, S&P raised Visteon’s
corporate rating to B+ and placed Visteon on negative outlook
after the closing of the Ford transactions. S&P also
introduced a new short-term liquidity rating on Visteon of B-2,
which is considered adequate liquidity.
47
|
|
ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Visteon’s access to liquidity has become significantly less
reliable and more costly as a result of rating agency actions,
and any further downgrade in Visteon’s credit ratings could
further reduce its access to capital, increase the costs of
future borrowings, and increase the possibility of more
restrictive terms and conditions contained in any new or
replacement financing arrangements or commercial agreements or
payment terms with suppliers.
Cash Requirements
Cash required to meet capital expenditure needs in the first
half of 2005 was $277 million. Capital expenditures
in 2005 are expected to continue to be lower than historic
levels due to the agreement with Ford in March 2005, as
described above, and the substantial completion of the
facilities consolidation in Southeastern Michigan
during 2004. In addition, the Credit Agreements contain
limits on annual capital expenditures. In 2005, Visteon
cannot exceed $400 million in capital expenditures from
June 24, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
As part of the transaction to sell certain North American
facilities to Ford, on October 3, 2005 Ford paid
$400 million into an escrow account for use by Visteon to
restructure its businesses (as described above). The Escrow
Agreement provides that Visteon will be reimbursed from the
escrow account for the first $250 million of reimbursable
restructuring costs, and up to one half of the next
$300 million of such additional costs. Ford has also agreed
to reimburse Visteon for up to $150 million of separation
costs associated with those Visteon salaried employees who are
assigned to work at ACH and whose services are no longer
required by ACH or a subsequent buyer. The Reimbursement
Agreement provides that Ford will reimburse Visteon for the
first $50 million of reimbursable restructuring costs, and
up to one half of the next $200 million of such additional
costs. Also, as part of the Purchase and Supply Agreement,
payment terms for components received at Ford
U.S. facilities will be an average of 22 days through
2006, an average of 26 days for 2007, an average of
34.5 days for 2008, and Ford standard payment terms
thereafter.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the first half
of 2005 totaled $505 million, compared with cash
provided by operating activities of $348 million for the
same period in 2004. The improvement is largely
attributable to improved trade working capital flows due
primarily to the March 2005 funding agreement with Ford and
subsequent amendment (which in total accelerated terms from
33 days to 18 days) and lower inventory levels, offset
partially by operating losses.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $258 million during
the first half of 2005, compared with $353 million for
the first half of 2004. Visteon’s capital expenditures
in the first half of 2005 totaled $277 million,
compared with $366 million for the same period
in 2004, reflecting primarily the substantial completion of
facilities consolidation in 2004 and the March 2005
master equipment bailment agreement with Ford. During the first
half of 2005, proceeds from asset disposals were
$35 million, and investments in two new joint ventures
located in China were $16 million. The Credit Agreements
limit the amount of capital expenditures and investments Visteon
may make.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued) |
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities totaled $155 million in
the first half of 2005, compared with $69 million
provided by financing activities in the same period
in 2004. The cash used in 2005 reflects primarily the
termination of the GECC program and reductions in debt. The cash
proceeds in 2004 reflect primarily the net increase in debt
of $200 million due to the March 2004 issuance of debt
securities offset partially by the April 2004 repurchase of
certain existing notes, maturing short-term commercial paper
obligations, dividend payments, and reductions in other debt. In
February 2005, the Visteon Board of Directors elected to
suspend the payment of its usual quarterly dividend of
$0.06 per share of common stock. The Credit Agreements also
limit the amount of cash payments for dividends Visteon may
make. Cash paid for dividends was $16 million in the first
half of 2004.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004)
(“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based
Payments.” This revised statement requires the fair-value
based method to be used and eliminates the alternative use of
the intrinsic value method. SFAS 123(R) is required to be
adopted as of the beginning of the first annual period that
begins after June 15, 2005. Visteon does not expect
the requirements of SFAS 123(R) to have a material effect
on Visteon’s results of operations as, starting
January 1, 2003, Visteon began expensing the fair value of
stock-based awards, including stock options, granted to
employees pursuant to the original provisions of SFAS 123.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 151 (“SFAS 151”),
“Inventory Costs — an amendment of ARB
No. 43, Chapter 4.” This statement clarifies the
accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense,
freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This
Statement requires that those items be recognized as
current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this
Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads
to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of
the production facilities. The provisions of this statement will
be effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. Visteon has not
determined the effect the adoption of SFAS 151 will have on
either its results of operations or financial position.
51
|
|
ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Visteon is exposed to market risks from changes in currency
exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. To
manage these risks, we use a combination of fixed price
contracts with suppliers, cost sourcing arrangements with
customers and financial derivatives. We maintain risk management
controls to monitor the risks and the related hedging.
Derivative positions are examined using analytical techniques
such as market value and sensitivity analysis. Derivative
instruments are not used for speculative purposes, as per
clearly defined risk management policies.
Foreign Currency Risk
Visteon’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk
of changes in exchange rates arise from the sale of products in
countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency
denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables,
subsidiary dividends and investments in subsidiaries.
Visteon’s on-going solution is to reduce the exposure
through operating actions.
Visteon’s primary foreign exchange operating exposures
include the Korean won, Mexican peso, euro, Canadian dollar and
Czech koruna. Because of the mix between our costs and our sales
in various regions, operating results are exposed generally to
weakening of the euro and to strengthening of the Korean won,
Mexican peso, Canadian dollar and Czech koruna. For transactions
in these currencies, Visteon utilizes a strategy of partial
coverage. As of June 30, 2005, our coverage for
projected transactions in these currencies was about 49%
for 2005.
As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
the net fair value of foreign currency forward and option
contracts was an asset of $15 million and $18 million,
respectively. The hypothetical pre-tax gain or loss in fair
value from a 10% favorable or adverse change in quoted currency
exchange rates would be approximately $76 million and
$72 million as of June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. These estimated
changes assume a parallel shift in all currency exchange rates
and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to
hedge loans to subsidiaries. Because all exchange rates
typically do not move in the same direction, the estimate may
overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair
value of our financial derivatives. It is also important to note
that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis
would generally be offset by gains and losses on the underlying
exposures being hedged.
Interest Rate Risk
Visteon uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk.
These swaps effectively convert a portion of Visteon’s
fixed rate debt into variable rate debt. During the first
quarter of 2005, Visteon terminated interest rate swaps
with a notional amount of $200 million related to the
8.25% notes due August 1, 2010, which reduced the
notional amount of interest rate swaps to $350 million. As
of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 about
58% and 45% of Visteon’s borrowings were effectively on a
fixed rate basis.
As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
the net fair value of interest rate swaps was a liability of
$3 million and an asset of $2 million, respectively.
The potential loss in fair value of these swaps from a
hypothetical 50 basis point adverse change in interest
rates would be approximately $10 million and
$16 million as of June 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. The annual increase
in pre-tax interest expense from a hypothetical 50 basis
point adverse change in variable interest rates (including the
impact of interest rate swaps) would be approximately
$4 million and $6 million as of
June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. This analysis may overstate the adverse impact on
net interest expense because of the short-term nature of our
interest bearing investments.
52
|
|
ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK — (Continued) |
Commodity Risk
Visteon’s exposure to market risks from changes in the
price of steel products, plastic resins, and diesel fuel are not
hedged due to a lack of acceptable hedging instruments in the
market. Visteon’s exposures to price changes in these
commodities and non-ferrous metals are attempted to be addressed
through negotiations with our suppliers and customers, although
there can be no assurance that Visteon will not have to absorb
any or all price increases and/or surcharges. When and if
acceptable hedging instruments are available in the market,
management will determine at that time, depending upon
Visteon’s exposure level if financial hedging is
appropriate, the effectiveness of the financial hedge and other
factors.
In the second quarter of 2005, Visteon discontinued hedge
accounting treatment for certain natural gas and copper forward
contracts as the underlying transactions are no longer expected
to occur, resulting in the reclassification of a gain of about
$8 million from “accumulated other comprehensive
income” to earnings in the second quarter of 2005. These
forward contracts were subsequently terminated during the third
quarter of 2005. Upon completion of the transactions with Ford,
Visteon’s exposure to market risks from changes in the
price of natural gas and copper will be substantially reduced.

ITEM 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Visteon maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
reports Visteon files or submits under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities Exchange
Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to Visteon’s management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange
Act, Visteon carried out an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of Visteon’s Disclosure
Committee and management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of September 30, 2005. Based upon this evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective because of the material weaknesses described below.
Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses
described below, management has concluded that the consolidated
financial statements included in this report fairly present, in
all material respects, our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
On May 10, 2005, Visteon announced that its Audit
Committee was conducting an independent review of the accounting
for certain transactions originating in Visteon’s North
American purchasing activity. Based on the results of the
review, which were discussed in our Current Report on
Form 8-K dated October 21, 2005, we have restated
our previously issued consolidated financial statements for
2002, 2003 and 2004, primarily for accounting corrections
related to the timing of the recognition of costs and the
adequacy of period-end accruals for freight, raw material costs
and other supplier costs. Refer to Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements for further information
regarding this restatement. In addition, the
Audit Committee determined, among other things, that many
of the accounting errors were principally the result of improper
conduct on the part of two former, non-executive finance
employees responsible for these matters.

ITEM 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued) |
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weaknesses in the
company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 and through June 30, 2005.

Accounting for Employee Postretirement Health Care
Benefits |
Visteon did not maintain effective controls over the accounting
for amendments to U.S. postretirement health care benefit
plans. Specifically, controls to determine that such amendments
were reviewed and all necessary actions were implemented,
including communications to affected employees, prior to
recognizing the accounting treatment in Visteon’s
consolidated financial statements, were not effective. This
control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to our fourth
quarter 2004 financial results, and resulted in the restatement
of Visteon’s consolidated financial statements for 2002 and
2003 and for the first, second and third quarters of 2004.
Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a
misstatement to the aforementioned accounts that would result in
a material misstatement to annual or interim financial
statements.
The requirement of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions”
(“SFAS No. 106”), to communicate changes in
eligibility requirements to employees for postretirement health
care benefits prior to reflecting an accounting treatment change
was not satisfied. Effective in January 2002, Visteon
amended its retiree health care benefits plan for certain of its
U.S. employees. Effective in January 2004, a Visteon
wholly-owned subsidiary amended its retiree health care benefits
plan for its employees. These amendments changed the eligibility
requirements for participants in the plan. As a result of these
amendments, which were not communicated to affected employees,
Visteon changed the expense attribution periods, which
eliminated cost accruals for younger employees and increased
accrual rates for older participating employees.

Accounting for Costs Incurred for Tools Used in Production |
Visteon did not maintain effective controls to ensure that there
was appropriate support and documentation of either ownership or
an enforceable agreement for reimbursement of expenditures at
the time of the initial recording of incurred tooling costs.
Further, controls over periodic review, assessment and timely
resolution of tooling costs, related aged accounts receivable
balances and potential overruns to customer-authorized
reimbursement levels were not effective. This control deficiency
resulted in the misstatement of Visteon’s consolidated
financial statements for each of the years 2000 through 2003 and
the second and third quarters of 2004 because of costs that
either should have been expensed as incurred or capitalized and
amortized to expense over the terms of the related supply
agreement. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in
a misstatement to the aforementioned accounts that would result
in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial
statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued) |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Accounting for Freight, Raw Material and Other Supplier Costs
and Related Period-End Accruals at our North American Purchasing
Function |
Visteon did not maintain effective controls over the complete
and accurate recording of freight, raw material and other
supplier costs and related period-end accruals at our
North American purchasing function. Specifically, controls
to ensure that accruals for freight, raw materials and other
supplier costs were appropriately supported and adequately
reviewed: (i) did not operate effectively to ensure that
such costs were recorded in the correct period and that
period-end accruals were complete and accurate; and
(ii) did not prevent or detect the improper conduct by two
former, non-executive employees. In addition, the Company did
not have effective controls designed and in place over:
(i) the information received from its third-party freight
administrator to completely and accurately record freight costs
and related period-end accruals; (ii) the monitoring of
supplier negotiations to ensure that resulting price changes
were identified and recorded in a timely manner; and
(iii) ongoing supplier contract compliance to ensure that
raw material costs and related period-end accruals were complete
and accurate. This control deficiency and the related improper
conduct resulted in accounting errors which required restatement
of the Company’s 2004, 2003 and 2002 annual consolidated
financial statements, the 2004 interim consolidated financial
statements, and adjustments to the consolidated financial
statements for the first quarter 2005. The impact of the
correction of these errors was to increase net loss by
$40 million, $22 million, and $11 million for the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and to decrease net loss by $58 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Additionally, this
control deficiency could result in a misstatement of freight,
raw material and other supplier costs and related period-end
accruals that would result in a material misstatement to annual
or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected.
(b) Plan for Remediation
Management has formulated remediation plans and has initiated,
and in certain cases, implemented actions designed to address
each of the material weaknesses in internal control over
financial reporting described above.
|
|
|
|
(1) |
Accounting for Employee Postretirement Health Care
Benefits |
In the second and third quarters of 2005, Visteon implemented
additional controls to ensure that all necessary actions
required to effect changes in the accounting for Visteon’s
employee postretirement health care benefits have been completed
prior to recognizing such changes in the Visteon’s
financial records. These controls include formal employee
communication procedures and specific identification, assignment
and required inter-departmental coordination of employees
responsible for the planning and implementation of employee
benefit changes and the related accounting and recording of such
changes. In the second quarter 2005, Visteon amended its
employee postretirement health care plans for certain of its
U.S. salaried employees; the controls described above were
applied to this amendment.
55
|
|
ITEM 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued) |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
Accounting for Costs Incurred for Tools Used in Production |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
Visteon implemented additional controls over the accounting for
costs incurred for tools used in production including the
evaluation and adjustment of existing policies and procedures,
training of employees responsible for the accounting for these
transactions, and the identification of specific determinants,
and required documentation, of rights and obligations and
related valuation of tooling costs incurred. Additionally,
Visteon has implemented additional monitoring controls to
include a complete and timely review of recorded tooling
amounts, including review of aged unbilled items.
|
|
|
|
(3) |
Accounting for Freight, Raw Material and Other Supplier Costs
and Related Period-End Accruals at our North American Purchasing
Function |
During the third quarter of 2005, Visteon implemented additional
controls to identify and evaluate potential liabilities related
to activities with its North American suppliers. Such
controls include the establishment of processes to assess and
account for supplier negotiations and on-going contract
administration and to estimate and record freight costs as
incurred. The two former non-executive finance employees
responsible for these matters are no longer employed by the
Company.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the items discussed above, there have been no changes
in Visteon’s internal control over financial reporting
during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, Visteon’s internal control over
financial reporting.
As discussed further above, Visteon transferred twenty-three of
its North American facilities and related assets to ACH on
September 30, 2005, and, on October 1, 2005, Ford
acquired from Visteon all of the issued and outstanding shares
of common stock of the parent of ACH. Various process
changes and controls are being implemented in the fourth quarter
of 2005 to ensure financial transactions between Visteon and ACH
are identified and separately reported.

ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Securities and Related Matters
In February 2005, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan against Visteon and certain current and former officers
of Visteon. In July 2005, the Public Employees’
Retirement System of Mississippi was appointed as lead plaintiff
in this matter. In September 2005, the lead plaintiff filed
an amended complaint, which alleges, among other things, that
Visteon and its independent registered public accounting firm,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, made misleading statements of
material fact or omitted to state material facts necessary in
order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. The named plaintiff
seeks to represent a class consisting of purchasers of
Visteon’s securities during the period between
June 28, 2000 and January 31, 2005. Class
action status has not yet been certified in this litigation.
56
|
|
ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS — (Continued) |
In March 2005, a number of current and former directors and
officers were named as defendants in two shareholder derivative
suits pending in the State of Michigan Circuit Court for the
County of Wayne. As is customary in derivative suits, Visteon
has been named as a defendant in these actions. As a nominal
defendant, Visteon is not liable for any damages in these suits
nor is any specific relief sought against Visteon. The
complaints allege that, among other things, the individual
defendants breached their fiduciary duties of good faith and
loyalty and aided and abetted such breaches during the period
between January 23, 2004 and
January 31, 2005 in connection with Visteon’s
conduct concerning, among other things, the matters alleged in
the securities class action discussed immediately above.
Visteon and its current and former directors and officers intend
to contest the foregoing lawsuits vigorously. However, at this
time Visteon is not able to predict with certainty the final
outcome of each of the foregoing lawsuits or its potential
exposure with respect to each such lawsuit. In the event of an
unfavorable resolution of any of these matters, Visteon’s
earnings and cash flows in one or more periods could be
materially affected to the extent any such loss is not covered
by insurance or applicable reserves.
Other Matters
Various other legal actions, governmental investigations and
proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or
asserted in the future against Visteon, including those arising
out of alleged defects in Visteon’s products; governmental
regulations relating to safety; employment-related matters;
customer, supplier and other contractual relationships;
intellectual property rights; product warranties; product
recalls; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing
matters may involve compensatory, punitive or antitrust or other
treble damage claims in very large amounts, or demands for
recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, sanctions,
or other relief which, if granted, would require very large
expenditures.
Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of
individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance.
Reserves have been established by Visteon for matters discussed
in the immediately foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed
probable and reasonably estimable. It is possible, however, that
some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph could
be decided unfavorably to Visteon and could require Visteon to
pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts, or a range of
amounts, that cannot be estimated at June 30, 2005
that are in excess of established reserves. Visteon does not
reasonably expect, except as otherwise described herein, based
on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters
would have a material effect on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows, although such an outcome is
possible.
|
|
ITEM 2. |
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS |
In May 2005, we issued a total of 6,000 restricted shares of
common stock to two of our non-employee directors pursuant to
the terms of the Visteon Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for
Non-Employee Directors. Such issuances were exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a
transaction not involving a public offering under
Section 4(2).
There were no purchases of shares of our common stock made by or
on behalf of Visteon, or an affiliated purchaser, during the
second quarter of 2005.
