ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      The interim financial data presented herein are unaudited, but in our opinion reflect all adjustments consisting only of 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. We refer you to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (10-K Report). We are not presenting information relating to earnings per share because we are an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (Ford). Certain amounts in prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with current period presentations.
