NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

      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 the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2002, as amended on August 13, 2002. Certain amounts for prior periods were reclassified to conform with present period presentation.

      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.

      2. Selected costs and expenses are summarized as follows:

                                   
Second Quarter First Half

      Amortization amounts for 2001 include amortization of goodwill of $6 million and $12 million for the second quarter and first half of 2001, respectively.

      3. Special Charges — In the first quarter of 2002, Visteon recorded in costs of sales pre-tax charges of $116 million ($74 million after-tax), as summarized below:

     3. Special Charges — (Continued) — In the first quarter of 2002, Visteon recorded pre-tax charges of $95 million related to the separation of 820 employees at Markham, Ontario as the company moves nearly all of the non-restraint electronics business to facilities in Mexico, the elimination of about 215 engineering positions in the United States to reduce research and development costs, the closure of our Visteon Technologies facility in California and the related discontinuation of support for our aftermarket navigation systems product line, the closure of our Leatherworks facility in Michigan and the elimination of about 240 manufacturing positions in Mexico. The engineering-related and Mexican manufacturing-related separations, and the closure of Visteon Technologies, were completed in the first quarter of 2002. The separation of approximately 85 Markham employees occurred in the second quarter of 2002, with the remaining separations expected to be completed by the end of 2002.

      Also in the first quarter of 2002, $5 million of accrued restructuring liabilities relating to prior year restructuring plans were reversed reflecting a change in estimated costs to complete these activities.

      Effective April 1, 2002, Visteon completed the sale of its restraint electronics business to Autoliv, Inc. for $25 million. The sale includes Visteon’s North American and European order book of approximately $150 million in annual sales to Ford Motor Company and its affiliates, including associated manufacturing operations in Markham, Ontario, as well as related assets and liabilities. As part of the sale, approximately 270 employees from Markham and about 95 engineers from Dearborn, Michigan transferred to Autoliv.

      The following table summarizes the activity related to the remaining restructuring reserves from the 2001 actions, as well as restructuring reserve activity related to the 2002 actions. This table does not include the loss related to the sale of the restraint electronics business.

      During the second quarter of 2001, Visteon recorded pre-tax charges of $158 million ($100 million after-tax), of which $146 million related to the elimination of more than 2,000 salaried positions worldwide and $12 million related to the closure of two European facilities, ZEM in Poland and Wickford in the U.K., and other actions. Of the total pre-tax charges, $42 million is recorded in selling, administrative and other expenses and $116 million is recorded in cost of sales, and $142 million is recorded by the Automotive Operations segment and $16 million is recorded by the Glass Operations segment.

      Reserve balances of $23 million and $45 million at December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, respectively, are included in current accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. The June 30, 2002 reserve balance of $45 million includes $11 million related to 2001 restructuring activities. The company currently anticipates that the restructuring activities to which all of the above charges relate will be substantially completed in 2002.

      4. Income Per Share of Common Stock — Basic income per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the income attributable to common stock by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for restricted stock. The average number of shares of restricted stock outstanding was about 2,780,000, 2,420,000, 1,370,000 and 1,210,000 for the second quarter of 2002, first half of 2002, second quarter of 2001 and first half of 2001, respectively. The calculation of diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as stock options and restricted stock. For the second quarter of 2002, 1,106,000 shares were included as potentially dilutive. For the first half of 2002, second quarter of 2001 and first half of 2001 potential common stock of about 712,000, 404,000 and 202,000 shares, respectively, are excluded as the effect would have been antidilutive.

      5. Transactions with Ford and its Affiliates — Visteon’s supply agreement and related pricing letter with Ford Motor Company required Visteon to provide Ford with productivity price adjustments for 2001, 2002 and 2003. In March 2002, Visteon and Ford reached an agreement resolving North American pricing for 2001 that was consistent with Visteon’s previously established reserves. In June 2002, Visteon and Ford reached an agreement resolving European pricing for 2001 and 2002 that, together with resolution of other commercial matters, was consistent with Visteon’s previously established reserves.

      6. Land Lease — In January 2002, Visteon completed an arrangement with a special-purpose entity, owned by an affiliate of a bank, to lease land in Southeast Michigan for a headquarters facility. The lease had an initial lease term through June 30, 2002, which was subsequently extended through September 30, 2002, at which time Visteon has the option to renew the lease on terms mutually acceptable to Visteon and the lessor, purchase the land or arrange for the sale of the property. Visteon has a contingent liability for up to about $23 million in the event the property is sold for less than full cost.

      As of June 30, 2002, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the special-purpose entity are included in Visteon’s consolidated financial statements, based on an assessment made when the lease was extended, that substantially all of the expected residual risks and rewards of the leased land reside with Visteon. This assessment included consideration of the terms of the lease agreement, the amount of the owner’s equity capital investment, and that as part of the extension of the lease all of the special-purpose entity’s debt was financed by Visteon.

      8. Debt — During the second quarter of 2002, Visteon renewed its financing arrangements with third-party lenders that provide contractually committed, unsecured revolving credit facilities. The new financing arrangements are with a syndicate of lenders providing for a maximum of $1.8 billion in committed, unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). The terms of the Credit Facilities provide for a 364-day revolving credit line in the amount of $775 million, which expires June 2003, and a five-year revolving credit line in the amount of $775 million, which expires June 2007. The Credit Facilities also provide for a five-year delayed draw term loan in the amount of $250 million, which will be used primarily to finance construction of a headquarters facility in Southeast Michigan. Consistent with the prior financing arrangements, the Credit Facilities would bear interest based on a variable interest rate option selected at the time of borrowing and the Credit Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including a covenant not to exceed a specified leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities.

      9. Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Other comprehensive income (loss) mainly includes foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) is summarized as follows:

      10. Accounting Change — In 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 142 no longer permits amortization of goodwill and establishes a new method of testing goodwill for impairment by using a fair-value based approach. Under this statement goodwill is to be evaluated for possible impairment as of January 1, 2002, and periodically thereafter.

      Visteon adopted SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002. As required by this standard, an initial test for goodwill impairment was performed which compared the fair value of our Automotive Operations segment to the segment’s net book value. Visteon’s stock market capitalization, as well as market multiples and other factors, were used as the basis for determining the fair value of the Automotive Operations segment. Because the fair value of the Automotive Operations segment was less than its net book value, Visteon recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $363 million ($265 million after-tax) as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. The pre-tax impairment loss consists of $357 million of net goodwill as of December 31, 2001 and $6 million reclassified to goodwill related to certain acquired intangible assets, as required by SFAS 142.

      The following presents net income and earnings per share, adjusted to reflect the adoption of the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142, as of the beginning of the periods presented:

VISTEON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(unaudited)

      12. Litigation and Claims — Various 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; and environmental matters. Some of the foregoing matters involve or 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 foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable; these reserves are adjusted periodically to reflect estimates of ultimate probable outcomes. It is reasonably possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph for which reserves have not been established 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, 2002. Visteon does not reasonably expect, based on its analysis, that any adverse outcome from such matters would have a material effect on future consolidated financial statements for a particular year, although such an outcome is possible.

      In July 2002, Visteon entered into an agreement to consolidate the resolution of various pending employment-related claims and litigation relating to allegations made by current and former employees at a Michigan facility. The amounts paid pursuant to this agreement were in line with reserves established in the second quarter of 2002.

      Visteon has resolved a number of commercial issues with Ford. See Note 5 for further discussion of some of the commercial issues resolved with Ford under the supply agreement and pricing letter agreement.

      13. Subsequent Event — As part of Visteon’s ongoing restructuring efforts to improve operations, the company is implementing a comprehensive plan in Europe. Under the plan, Visteon and its unions in Europe have committed to restructuring actions of manufacturing operations in the UK, Germany and France. The plan seeks to improve Visteon’s cost base in Europe, allowing it to be more competitive and improve financial results in the future. The company expects to incur total pre-tax charges of up to $150 million relating to the plan, of which $80-95 million is expected in the second half of 2002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

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, 2002, and the related consolidated statement of income and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

      We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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 previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 16, 2002, except for Note 17, as to which the date is March 11, 2002 and Note 3, as to which the date is August 12, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2001, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Overview

      Visteon’s worldwide sales were $5.0 billion in the second quarter of 2002, compared with $4.9 billion in the second quarter of 2001. Visteon reported net income of $72 million or $0.56 per share in the second quarter of 2002. Visteon reported a net loss of $40 million or $0.31 per share in the second quarter of 2001, including after-tax restructuring costs of $100 million. Second quarter net income in 2001, excluding restructuring costs, was $60 million.

      Worldwide sales totaled $9.5 billion in the first six months of 2002, compared with $9.6 billion in the first six months of 2001. Visteon reported a net loss of $266 million or $2.07 per share in the first half of 2002 compared with a net loss of $9 million or $0.07 per share in the first half of 2001. Excluding special items discussed below, Visteon’s net income for the first six months of 2002 was $73 million compared with $91 million in the first six months of 2001.

      During the first quarter of 2002, Visteon recorded a net after-tax charge of $74 million related to a number of restructuring actions and the sale of our restraint electronics business, as described in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. Also in the first quarter of 2002, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. With this change in accounting principle, Visteon recorded a non-cash write-off for the entire value of goodwill of $265 million after-tax, as described in Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements. Visteon did not incur any special charges in the second quarter of 2002.

      In the second quarter of 2001, Visteon implemented a number of restructuring actions and recorded an after-tax charge of $100 million associated primarily with salaried workforce restructuring.

      Sales for Automotive Operations were $4.9 billion, compared with $4.7 billion in the second quarter of 2001, an increase of $146 million or 3%. Sales for Glass Operations were $163 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared with $175 million in the second quarter of 2001, a decline of $12 million. Increased sales for Automotive Operations reflect primarily new business and stronger production volume in North America, offset partially by price reductions provided to our customers and the sale of our restraint electronics business. Sales for Automotive Operations also were affected by lower sales of precious metals under pass-through arrangements with Ford and unfavorable currency changes. The decline in Glass Operations’ sales reflects primarily price reductions to customers and lower sales to aftermarket and commercial customers, offset partially by stronger Ford production volume in North America.

      Net income for Automotive Operations was $66 million in the second quarter of 2002, compared with a net loss of $33 million in the second quarter of 2001. Second quarter of 2001 results for Automotive Operations included after-tax restructuring costs of $90 million; no restructuring costs were recorded for the second quarter of 2002. The improvement reflects primarily the non-recurrence of last year’s restructuring charges, continued cost savings and new business, offset partially by the impact of price reductions.

      Net income for Glass Operations was $6 million in the second quarter of 2002, an improvement of $13 million compared with the second quarter of 2001. Second quarter of 2001 results for Glass Operations included after-tax restructuring costs of $10 million. No restructuring costs were recorded for Glass Operations in the second quarter of 2002. Improved results for Glass Operations reflect primarily the non-recurrence of last year’s restructuring charges and cost reductions, offset partially by the impact of price reductions.

Glass Operations sales were $311 million in the first half of 2002, compared with $340 million in the first half of 2001, a decline of $29 million or 9%. Reduced sales for Automotive Operations reflects primarily annual price reductions granted to our customers for the first half of 2002. Sales for Automotive Operations also were affected by lower sales of precious metals under pass-through arrangements with Ford and unfavorable currency changes, offset partially by new business with Ford and other customers. The decrease in sales for our Glass Operations reflects primarily price reductions to customers and reduced sales to aftermarket and commercial customers.

      Automotive Operations’ income before special items for the first half of 2002 was $63 million compared with $90 million in the first half of 2001. The decrease of $27 million reflects primarily the impact of price reductions to our customers, offset partially by cost reductions and new business. In the first half of 2002, Automotive Operations recorded an after-tax charge of $76 million related to the sale of our restraint electronics business and other restructuring actions, as described in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, Automotive Operations recorded an after-tax charge of $265 million with the adoption of SFAS 142, as described in Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements. First half of 2001 results include after-tax restructuring costs of $90 million. Net loss from Automotive Operations for the first half of 2002 was $278 million, compared with break-even results for the first half of 2001.

      Income before special items for Glass Operations was $10 million in the first half of 2002, compared with $1 million for the same period in 2001. The $9 million improvement reflects primarily savings from cost reductions. Accrued restructuring liabilities of $2 million were reversed in the first half of 2002, reflecting a change in estimated costs to complete these activities. Results for Glass Operations for the first half of 2001 include after-tax restructuring costs of $10 million.

Reclassification of Selected Costs

      As discussed in Form 10-Q filed for the first quarter of 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2002, as amended on August 13, 2002, effective in 2002, certain costs were reclassified between cost of sales and selling, administrative and other expenses primarily to reflect Visteon’s reorganization of its operations during 2001. As a result, prior period amounts, including research and development expenditures, have been adjusted to conform to current years’ presentation. Visteon’s research and development costs as originally reported were $1,119 million in 2001, $1,198 million in 2000 and $1,115 million in 1999; after adjustments, research and development costs are $1,076 million, $1,115 million and $1,041 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Our balance sheet includes cash and marketable securities of $1,219 million and total debt of $1,809 million at June 30, 2002, compared with cash and marketable securities of $1,181 million and total debt of $1,922 million at December 31, 2001. Our net debt, defined as the amount by which total debt exceeds total cash and marketable securities, was $0.6 billion at June 30, 2002 and $0.7 billion at December 31, 2001. The increase in cash and marketable securities and decrease in net debt reflected cash generated by operations in excess of capital spending. Our ratio of total debt to total capital, which consists of total debt plus total stockholders’ equity, was 37% at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)

      During the second quarter of 2002, Visteon renewed its financing arrangements with third-party lenders that provide contractually committed, unsecured revolving credit facilities. The new financing arrangements are with a syndicate of lenders providing for a maximum of $1.8 billion in committed, unsecured credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”). The terms of the Credit Facilities provide for a 364-day revolving credit line in the amount of $775 million, which expires June 2003, and a five-year revolving credit line in the amount of $775 million, which expires June 2007. The Credit Facilities also provide for a five-year, delayed-draw term loan in the amount of $250 million, which will be used primarily to finance construction of a headquarters facility. Consistent with the prior financing arrangements, the Credit Facilities would bear interest based on a variable interest rate option selected at the time of borrowing. The Credit Facilities contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including a covenant not to exceed a specified leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2002 and had no borrowings under our Credit Facilities. Visteon also has a commercial paper program providing up to $1,550 million of borrowing ability. We intend to use the commercial paper program as a source of flexible short-term financing and do not intend to exceed $1,550 million of aggregate borrowing under the commercial paper program and revolving credit lines. As of June 30, 2002, the outstanding balance under our commercial paper program was $250 million. In the event the availability of commercial paper is reduced, our revolving credit lines provide a backup funding source.

      Visteon presently has a credit rating of BBB/Baa2. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient liquidity. Although our access to the commercial paper market likely would be limited, we believe other sources of raising funds in the capital markets would remain available. For example, we believe that our receivables are of a quality that would allow access to the market for receivable-based instruments and we believe we would have access to long-term debt and equity markets. In addition, use of our committed unsecured revolving credit facilities would be an option. In such case, our cost of borrowing may increase.

      On April 2, 2002, Visteon and Visteon Capital Trust I (the “trust”) filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register $800 million in securities. Under this shelf process, in one or more offerings, Visteon may sell notes, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units; and the trust may sell trust preferred securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the trust. This shelf registration statement replaces the prior shelf registration statement filed on June 23, 2000. The registration statement became effective on April 12, 2002. Each time Visteon sells securities under this shelf registration statement, a prospectus supplement will be provided that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Except as may otherwise be determined at the time of sale, the net proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes.

      Our 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 also are impacted 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. Based on our present assessment of future customer production levels, over a two-year time horizon, we believe we can meet general and seasonal cash needs using cash flows from operations, cash balances, and borrowings, if needed. We also believe we can supplement these sources with access to the capital markets on satisfactory terms and in adequate amounts, if needed, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

      Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2002 totaled $453 million compared with $182 million for the same period in 2001. The improvement in 2002 reflects primarily favorable changes in trade working capital compared with the prior year and includes $32 million of sold receivables.

Investing Activities

      Cash used in investing activities was $460 million during the first six months of 2002 compared with $308 million for the same period in 2001, including activity related to investments in marketable securities. Our capital expenditures for the first half of 2002 totaled $299 million compared with $340 million in the first half of 2001. We expect full year capital spending in 2002 will remain within the range of the last two years.

Financing Activities

      Cash used in financing activities totaled $149 million in the first six months of 2002, compared with $87 million in the first six months of 2001. The increase is more than explained by commercial paper repayment and repurchase of common stock to fund Visteon’s obligation under certain incentive plans. The company intends to continue such repurchases over time.

      On July 10, 2002, the Visteon Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company’s common stock, payable on September 3, 2002, to the stockholders of record as of August 2, 2002. The dividend of $0.06 per share declared by the Visteon Board of Directors on April 10, 2002, was paid on June 3, 2002.

Subsequent Events

Implementation of European Plan for Growth

      In June 2002, Visteon and Ford Motor Company reached an agreement resolving European pricing matters that, together with resolution of other commercial matters, was consistent with Visteon’s previously established reserves. Under the terms of this settlement, Ford and Visteon agreed to product price reductions for 2001 and 2002 as well as settlement of various other commercial claims between the companies.

      As part of Visteon’s ongoing restructuring efforts to improve operations, the company is implementing a comprehensive plan in Europe. Under the plan, Visteon and its unions in Europe have committed to restructuring actions of manufacturing operations in the UK, Germany and France. The plan seeks to improve Visteon’s cost base in Europe, allowing it to be more competitive and improve financial results in the future. Implementation of the plan will begin in the second half of this year and is expected to generate ongoing annual pre-tax savings of about $100 million by 2004. The company expects to incur total pre-tax charges of up to $150 million relating to the plan, of which $80-95 million is expected in the second half of 2002.

Additional Interest Rate Swaps

      Subsequent to June 30, 2002, the company entered into additional interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. Including the impact of these interest rate swaps, approximately 30% of the company’s borrowings are on a fixed rate basis; the remainder is subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

New Accounting Standards

      See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements, related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

Other Financial Information

      PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent accountants, performed a limited review of the financial data presented on pages 1 through 10 inclusive. The review was performed in accordance with standards for such reviews established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The review did not constitute an audit; accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not express an opinion on the aforementioned data. Their review report included herein is not a “report” within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the 1933 Act and the independent accountant’s liability under Section 11 does not extend to it.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk

      The net fair value of financial instruments used to reduce our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates have changed since December 31, 2001. These changes are due primarily to the strengthening of the euro and the British pound and the weakening of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar.

      As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the net fair value of financial instruments with exposure to currency risk was a loss of $36 million and a gain of $9 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 $93 million as of June 30, 2002 and approximately $68 million as of December 31, 2001. These estimated changes assume an adverse parallel shift in all currency exchange rates and include the gain or loss on financial instruments used to hedge loans to subsidiaries. Because exchange rates typically do not all move in the same direction, however, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of our financial derivatives. It is important to note that gains and losses indicated in the sensitivity analysis would be offset by gains and losses on the underlying exposures being hedged.

Interest Rate Risk

      As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the net fair value of interest rate swaps was a positive $8 million and a negative $9 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 $7 million.

Commodity Risk

      There are no known material changes to our exposure to commodity risk since December 31, 2001.

      Visteon’s supply agreement and related pricing letter with Ford Motor Company required Visteon to provide Ford with productivity price adjustments for 2001, 2002 and 2003. In March 2002, Visteon and Ford reached an agreement resolving North American pricing for 2001 that was consistent with Visteon’s previously established reserves. In June 2002, Visteon and Ford reached an agreement resolving European pricing for 2001 and 2002 that, together with resolution of other commercial matters, was consistent with Visteon’s previously established reserves.

      In July 2002, Visteon entered into an agreement to consolidate the resolution of various pending employment-related claims and litigation relating to allegations made by current and former employees at a Michigan facility. The amounts paid pursuant to this agreement were in line with reserves established in the second quarter of 2002.

      We are involved in other legal proceedings, which are ordinary, routine proceedings, incidental to the conduct of our business. We do not believe that any legal proceedings to which we are a party will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, although such an outcome is possible.
