Automotive Sector

Dispositions

Automotive Components Holdings, LLC ("ACH"). During the second quarter of 2012, ACH completed the sales of its automotive interior trim components business and automotive lighting business resulting in pre-tax losses of $96 million and $77 million, respectively, reported in Automotive interest income and other income/(loss), net, and contractual obligations of $182 million and $15 million, respectively, associated with the pricing of products to be purchased over the term of the related purchase and supply agreements.

Changes in Investments in Affiliates

Ford Romania. Effective January 1, 2013, the Romanian government ceded control and participation in our operations in Romania. As a result of acquiring full management control, we consolidated Ford Romania under the acquisition method of accounting. Prior to consolidation, our ownership in Ford Romania had been reflected at 100% under the equity method of accounting.
We measured the fair value of Ford Romania using the income approach. We used cash flows that reflect our approved business plan for Ford Romania and align with assumptions a market participant would make. We assumed a discount rate of 8% based on an appropriate weighted-average cost of capital, adjusted for perceived business risks.
The fair value of 100% of Ford Romania's identifiable net assets was $48 million, as shown below (in millions):

(a)
As of January 1, 2013, intercompany assets of $68 million and intercompany liabilities of $360 million have been eliminated in both consolidated and sector balance sheets.

The excess of our previously recorded equity interest of $63 million over fair value of the net assets acquired resulted in a pre-tax loss of $15 million recorded in Automotive interest income and other income/(loss), net.

Financial Services Sector

Assets Held for Sale

Other Financial Services Segment. During April 2013, we executed an agreement to sell certain Volvo-related retail financing receivables to a third-party financing company. The first tranche of receivables was sold in June 2013 and we recognized a pre-tax gain of $5 million, which is reported in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. All servicing obligations transferred to the third party upon sale of the receivables.

As of June 30, 2013, the remaining Volvo-related retail financing receivables of $264 million were classified to Assets held for sale as we do not have the intent to hold the receivables for the foreseeable future. We determined a valuation allowance was not required, based on an analysis of the remaining fair value of the receivables.
