In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Ford Microelectronics, Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held for Investment Purposes are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Salaried Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description of the Plan On December 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of Ford Microelectronics, Inc. and the Plan's administrator decided to cease allowing contributions to the plan. All participants were considered vested at this date. Participants had the option of rolling their plans into IRAs, another 401k or take a cash distribution. The following description of the Ford Microelectronics, Inc. (the "Company") Salaried Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan was a defined-contribution plan established to encourage and facilitate systematic savings and investment by eligible salaried employees and to provide them with an opportunity to become stockholders of Ford Motor Company ("Ford"). It was subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Eligibility With certain exceptions, regular full-time salaried employees were eligible to participate in the contributory portion of the Plan at date of hire. All full-time employees were eligible to participate in the employer discretionary portion of the Plan. Participation in the Plan was voluntary. Contributions Under the Plan and subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, participants could defer up to 15% in pre-tax contributions and 10% in post-tax contributions. The Company match was at the rate of 100% of the first 3% of the participants' base salaries contributed and at the rate of $.60 for each dollar of the next 7% of participants' base salaries contributed. The Company could also contribute an additional amount determined at the discretion of the Company, in cash. For the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company made discretionary contributions of 3% for each regular active employee with covered compensation. These contributions were made bi-weekly in 2000 and 1999. Participant accounts Each participant's account was credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings. Administrative expenses were paid primarily by the Company. Allocations were based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant was entitled was the benefit that could be provided from the participant's vested account. Vesting Participants were immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant was 100% vested after five years of credited service. A participant becomes fully vested in Company matching contributions automatically upon attainment of normal retirement age, retirement due to disability, death, or partial plan termination. Participants were entitled to receive the full amount of vested funds when their employment is terminated. All participants were considered fully vested on December 31, 2000, as described above. 5 Ford Microelectronics, Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description of the Plan (continued) Investments options Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant could direct employee and Company matching and discretionary contributions in any of the investment options. As of December 31, 2000, participants had the following investment options: Ford Motor Company Stock Fund - A "sell-only" fund consisting primarily of shares of Ford Motor Company common stock with a small portion of short-term liquid investments for liquidity purposes. Future cash dividends paid on the Ford stock held in the Ford Motor Company Stock Fund will be invested in the participants' other investments based on the current asset allocation. Associates First Capital Corporation (the "Associates") Stock Fund - A "sell-only" fund consisting primarily of shares of the Associates' common stock with a small portion of short-term liquid investments for liquidity purposes, and after December 31, 2000 will be closed. No contributions or transfers by Plan participants may be made to this fund. Future cash dividends paid on the Associates stock held in the Associates Stock Fund will be credited to participants' accounts in the Ford Stock Fund and invested in shares of Ford Common Stock. Citigroup Incorporated Stock Fund - A "sell-only" fund consisting primarily of shares of Citigroup common stock with a small portion of short-term liquid investments for liquidity purposes. In December 2000, Associates First Capital Corporation was bought by Citigroup, Incorporated. As a result of that transaction, each share of Associates common stock was exchanged for a 0.7334 shares of Citigroup common stock. Any fractional shares remaining in the participants' accounts after the exchange was paid for in cash. Visteon Corporation Stock Fund - Invests primarily in shares of Visteon Corporation common stock with a small portion of short-term liquid investments for liquidity purposes.

Participant notes receivable Participants could borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loan transactions were treated as a transfer to/from the investment fund from/to the Participant Notes fund. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to ten years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates. Interest rates range from 7.75 to 9.5%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Payment of benefits On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or partial plan termination, a participant could elect to receive all or part of participant's vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. 7 Ford Microelectronics, Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description of the Plan (continued) Forfeitures The Plan permitted the Company to use the funds forfeited by participants to pay Plan administration expenses, and, to the extent not used to pay such expenses, to reduce future Company contributions. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, $0 and $59,914, respectively, were forfeited by plan participants and were available to pay future administrative expenses. To the extent that forfeited funds are not available to pay Plan administrative expenses, the Company pays such expenses. Investment participation The number of participants in each program at December 31, 2000 is as follows: Number of Investment Fund participants Ford Motor Company Stock Fund 101 Citigroup Incorporated Stock Fund 91 Visteon Corporation Stock Fund 127 Ultra Fund 86 Vista Fund 60 Equity Income Fund 45 Value Fund 54 International Growth Fund 60 Strategic Moderate Fund 17 Strategic Aggressive Fund 30 Premium Bond Fund 12 Schwab Personal Choice Fund 18 Prime Money Market Fund 91 GNMA Fund 16 U.S. Small Company Fund 15 Income & Growth Fund 85 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Investment valuation and income recognition All Plan investments were valued on the basis of established year-end quoted market prices. Participant notes were carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities were recorded on a trade-date basis. Gains and losses on sales of securities were based on average cost. Dividend income was recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income was recorded on the accrual basis. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation in the fair value of its investments which consist of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation and depreciation on those investments. 8 Ford Microelectronics, Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Payment of benefits Benefits were recorded when paid. Contributions Contributions from employees and the Company were recorded in the period that payroll deductions are made from Plan participants. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Risks and uncertainties The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of either equity or fixed income investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. 3. Asset Value Per Share The number of shares and asset value per share at December 31, 2000 are as follows: Number of Asset value Investment Fund shares per share Ford Motor Company Stock Fund 66,555 $23.44 Citigroup Incorporated Stock Fund 14,257 51.06 Visteon Corporation Stock Fund 10,384 11.50 Ultra Fund 50,315 32.37 Vista Fund 84,832 15.33 Equity Income Fund 50,879 6.62 Value Fund 118,606 6.38 International Growth Fund 98,177 10.93 Strategic Moderate Fund 8,659 6.31 Strategic Aggressive Fund 33,999 7.25 Premium Bond Fund 16,885 9.97 Schwab Personal Choice Fund 717,605 1.00 Prime Money Market Fund 1,895,731 1.00 GNMA Fund 5,211 10.49 U.S. Small Company Fund 10,632 26.12 Income & Growth Fund 64,961 30.19 9 Ford Microelectronics, Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated September 13, 1995, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Although the Plan has been subsequently amended, management believes the Plan continues to be in accordance with the IRC. 5. Other On August 7, 2000, Ford Motor Company announced the final results of its recapitalization, known as the Value Enhancement Plan ("VEP"). Under the VEP, Ford shareholders exchanged each of their old Ford Common or Class B shares for one new Ford Common or Class B share, as the case may be, plus, at their election, either $20 in cash, 0.748 additional new Ford Common shares, or a combination of $5.17 in cash and 0.555 additional new Ford Common shares. As a result of the elections made by shareholders under the VEP, the total cash elected was $5.7 billion and the total number of new Ford Common and Class B shares that became issued and outstanding was 1.893 billion. On June 28, 2000, Ford distributed 130 million shares of Visteon Corporation ("Visteon"), which represented its 100% ownership interest, by means of a tax-free spin-off in the form of a dividend on Ford Common and Class B Stock. Holders of Ford Common and Class B Stock on the record date received 0.130933 shares of Visteon common stock for each share of Ford stock, and participants in U.S. employee savings plans on the record date received $1.72 in cash per share of Ford stock, based on the volume-weighted average price of Visteon stock of $13.1326 per share on June 28, 2000. The total value of the distribution (including the $365 million cash dividend) was $2.1 billion, or $1.72 per diluted share of Ford stock. Participants in the Ford Stock Fund under the Plan on the record date received Visteon shares in the distribution. In addition, on June 26, 2000, Intel Corp. acquired most of the assets of the Company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Visteon. Formerly a subsidiary of Ford, Visteon absorbed all of the Company's production. Under the terms of the agreement, Visteon kept the Company's name and the rights to the product line. Therefore, this agreement was not considered a complete acquisition. 6. Subsequent Event On June 8, 2001, the Board of Directors of Ford Microelectronics, Inc. and the Plan's administrator decided to terminate the plan effective December 31, 2000. The Trustee of the Plan was directed to transfer the balance of any accounts for which a timely distribution election has not been filed with the Plan Administrator to Fidelity Management Trust Company, as trustee of the Visteon Investment Plan, as soon as practicable, after the Plan's termination. 10 Ford Microelectronics, Inc.
