CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTREPORT OF OPERATIONSINDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
ForTo the Periods Ended September 30,Board of Directors and Shareholders
Visteon Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Visteon Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. 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, 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, 2005, and 2004

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 madeSee accompanying notes 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 loss increased by $15 million ($0.12 per share) and $18 million ($0.15 per share) for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.statements.

      During the first nine months of 2005, costs of sales were reduced by $170 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 $175 million in reduced labor charges from Ford and a one-time reductionnetwork of $17 millionmanufacturing operations, technical centers, sales offices and joint ventures 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 forevery major region in the first nine months 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.world.
ACH Transactions
On May 24, 2005, Visteonthe Company 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.

NOTE 3. Arrangements with Ford and its Affiliates — (Continued)
      During the first nine months 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 FordMotor Company (“Ford”) entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, (“MOU”), setting forth a framework for the transfer of twenty-three23 North American facilities and related assets and liabilities (the “Business”) to a Ford controlledFord-controlled entity. In September 2005, Visteonthe Company and Ford entered into several definitive agreements and Visteonthe Company completed the transfer of the Business to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (“ACH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Visteon, and its subsidiaries.the Company.
      Following the signing of the MOU and at September 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
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 Visteonthe Company of approximately $311$300 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.Business (together, the “ACH Transactions”).

      Visteon has classified certain assets and liabilities as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities associated with assets held for sale” following the signing of the MOU as described in Note 3, “Arrangements with Ford and its Affiliates.” Included in the balance sheet at September 30, 2005 are assets held for sale of $952 million and liabilities associated with assets held for sale of $2,676 million.

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.

NOTE 4. Selected Costs, Income and Other Information — (Continued)
      For the third quarter and first nine months of 2005, Visteon recorded provisions of $21 million and $41 million, respectively, as compared with provisions of $963 million and $983 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004. Visteon’s provision for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months 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 provision for the third quarter and first nine months of 2005 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.
      In the third quarter of 2005, the $3 million tax benefit related to favorable currency exchange rate movements was largely offset by other non-recurring and discrete tax provision items in the quarter. Visteon’s provision for income taxes of $963 million for the third quarter of 2004 includes a charge of $931 million to write-down our net deferred tax assets, as of the beginning of the third quarter, in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. This charge is comprised of $948 million related to deferred tax assets as of the beginning of the year and $60 million for income tax benefits recorded during the first half of 2004, offset by the reduction of related tax reserves of $77 million.
      Non-recurring and other discrete tax items recorded in the first nine months of 2005 resulted in a net benefit of $37 million. This includes the items described above, as well as 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 recorded in the second quarter of 2005, and 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 primarily to increase our income tax reserves for prior year tax exposures. The first nine months of 2004 includes a charge of $871 million related to additional valuation allowances established against Visteon’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. This charge is comprised of $948 million related to deferred tax assets as of the beginning of the year, offset by the reduction of related tax reserves of $77 million. Visteon’s results for the first nine months of 2004 reflect no income tax benefits for current year losses in the U.S. and other affected countries.
      The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the 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 September 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 aCompany’s consolidated 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.statements.
Long-Lived AssetsRecent Accounting Pronouncements:
      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.

NOTE 5. Stock-Based Awards
In December 2004,March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS 156”), “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” This statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a transfer of financial assets that meet the requirement for sale accounting. In addition, all of these separately recognized servicing assets or liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value, with two permitted methods available for subsequent measurement: the amortization method or the fair value measurement. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the requirements of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
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 that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the fair-valuefinancial statements based method to be used and eliminates the alternative use of the intrinsic value method.on their estimated fair value. SFAS 123(R) is requiredwas adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. In accordance with the modified-prospective method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to be adopted as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after June 15, 2005. Visteon is currently evaluatingreflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R). Under the requirementsmodified-prospective method, compensation cost includes:
• Share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”),

• Share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).
The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of SFAS 123(R) on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expectwas $4 million or $0.03 per share as of January 1, 2006. The Company recorded $6 million or $0.05 per share of incremental compensation expense during the impactthree-months ended March 31, 2006, under SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have a material effect, as startingbeen recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and related accounting are provided in Note 3 “Stock-Based Compensation.”
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective January 1, 2003 Visteonthe Company 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 third quarter and first nine months ended September 30, 2005.

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. SFAS 151 was adopted by the Company with effect from January 1, 2006 and did not have a material effect on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Visteon Corporation Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors provides for the automatic annual grant of RSAs to non-employee directors, unless deferred by such director. In addition, during 2004 the shareholders approved the Visteon Corporation Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan, which provides for the mandatory deferral into RSUs by non-employee directors. RSUs awarded under the Non-Employee Director Stock Unit Plan vest immediately, but are distributed after the participant terminates service as a non-employee director of the Company.
Stock-Based Compensation Awards
Substantially all of the Company’s stock-based compensation awards take the form of stock options, SARs, RSUs and RSAs.
• Stock options and SARs granted under the aforementioned plans have an exercise price equal to the average of the highest and lowest prices at which the Company’s common stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant and become exercisable on a ratable basis over a three year vesting period. Stock options and SARs granted under the 2004 Incentive Plan after December 31, 2003 expire five years following the grant date. Stock options granted under the EEIP, and those granted prior to January 1, 2004 under the 2004 Incentive Plan, expire 10 years after the grant date. Stock options are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon exercise. Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Additional paid-in capital.” SARs are settled in cash and accordingly result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested portion of the obligation.

NOTE 3. Stock-Based Compensation — (Continued)
• RSAs and RSUs granted under the aforementioned plans vest after a designated period of time (“time-based”), which is generally two to five years, or upon the achievement of certain performance goals (“performance-based”) at the completion of a performance period, which is generally three years. RSAs are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the lapse of restrictions on the underlying shares. Accordingly, such amount is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Additional paid-in capital.” RSUs awarded under the 2004 Incentive Plan are settled in cash and, accordingly, result in the recognition of a liability representing the vested portion of the obligation. The current portion of such liability is recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Other current liabilities” and the long-term portion of such liability is recorded under the caption “Other non-current liabilities.”
Fair Value Estimation Methodology and Assumptions
Use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make various assumptions including the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected volatility, and dividend yield. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. The risk-free rate for periods during the contractual life of stock-based compensation rewards is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its equity based awards. All other awards were based on the intrinsic value of the underlying stock. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value for awards granted during the three-months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
         
  SARs Stock Options
  2006 2005
     
Expected term (In Years)  4   4 
Risk-free interest rate  4.8%  4.0%
Expected volatility  54.0%  42.0%

On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement plan that involves certain underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to affect up to 23 facilities with costs expected to include employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, and production transfer costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
NOTE 4. Restructuring Activities — (Continued)
During the first quarter of 2006 the Company recorded $9 million of severance and other restructuring costs related to this three-year improvement plan. The most significant of these costs relates to the Company’s Electronics segment, which recorded approximately $6 million of severance costs related to activities at certain facilities located in Mexico and Portugal. These severance costs are associated with the termination of approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees. Approximately $5 million related to these activities is recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2006.
The Company had previously recorded restructuring reserves related to the three-year improvement plan of $14 million as of December 31, 2005. Such reserves were related to employee severance and termination benefit costs associated with the termination of approximately 1,200 hourly and salary employees at certain facilities located in the U.S., Europe, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Approximately $6 million related to these activities is recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2006.
The Company estimates that the total cash cost associated with this three-year improvement plan will be approximately $550 million, offset by $400 million of escrow account reimbursement. Generally, charges will be recorded as elements of the plan are finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of related costs are not likely to change. The cumulative costs incurred to date related to the three-year improvement plan are approximately $46 million, including $11 million related to Electronics, $2 million related to Climate and $33 million related to Other.

      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 $10 million during the first nine months 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.

NOTE 6.8. Special Charges — (Continued)Other Liabilities
      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 impairment 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 considered the impact of lower than anticipatedOther current and near term future year production volumes and the related impact on our future operating projections. Assetsliabilities 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 write-down 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.

On January 9, 2006, the Company closed on a new18-month secured term loan (the “18-Month Term Loan”) in the amount of $350 million, which expires in June 2007, to replace the Company’s $300 million secured short-term revolving credit agreement that expired on December 15, 2005. The 18-Month Term Loan was made a part of the Company’s existing five-year revolving credit agreement, resulting in $1,122 million available to the Company under this agreement. Also at this time, the terms and conditions of the five-year revolving credit agreement and the five-year term loan credit agreement (the “Credit Agreements”) were modified to align various covenants with the Company’s restructuring initiatives and to make changes to the consolidated leverage ratios. Borrowings under the Credit Agreements bear interest based on an assessment by product line asset group, completeda variable rate interest option selected at the time of borrowing. The Credit Agreements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including a covenant not to exceed a certain leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the thirdCredit Agreements) of 4.75 for the quarter ending March 31, 2006; 5.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2006; 4.25 for the quarter ending September 30, 2006; 3.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2006; 2.75 for the quarter ending March 31, 2007; and 2.50 thereafter. In addition, the Credit Agreements limit the amount of 2004,capital expenditures and cash dividend payments. The Company was in compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions, as amended, as of the recoverability of our long-lived assets in light of the challenging environment in which we operate. The assessment included consideration of lower than anticipated Ford North American production volume 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 of the steering systems product group were impaired. The impairment was approximately $249 million in North American and $65 million in Europe and was determined on a ‘held for use‘ basis. Fair values were determined primarily based on prices for similar groups of assets determined by a third-party valuation firm.March 31, 2006.
      Early retirement incentive and other related charges during the third quarter of 2004 related to incentive programs offered to eligible Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees to voluntarily retire or to relocate in order to return to a Ford facility. About 500 employees elected to retire early at a cost of $18 million and about 210 employees have agreed to return to a Ford facility at a cost of $7 million.
      Plant closure charges are related to the involuntary separation of about 200 employees from the closure of our La Verpilliere, France manufacturing facility in 2004. European Plan for Growth charges are comprised of $9 million related to the separation of about 50 hourly employees located at Visteon’s plants in Europe through a continuation of a special voluntary retirement and separation program started in 2002.

The Company recorded approximately $23 million related to the relief of postretirement benefits payable to Ford in the first quarter of 2006 and expects to record a curtailment gain of approximately $40 million in the second quarter of 2006 related to Visteon sponsored benefit obligations for the transferred employees.
NOTE 11. Income Taxes
The Company’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 employees that retire from Visteon with hire dates on or before June 30, 2005 that attainedcountries where the age of 45 by July 1, 2005. Credits accumulate at the rate of $3,000 per year plus an interest factor,Company’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 further increased at retirement bymaintained.
Income taxes during the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 included the impact of maintaining a factor of $750 multiplied byvaluation allowance against the employee’s combined years of service and age. These changes are estimated to result in a reductionCompany’s deferred tax assets in the related accumulated plan benefit obligationU.S. and certain foreign countries. As a result, income tax benefits attributable to pre-tax losses incurred in the affected jurisdictions were not provided. The Company recorded a provision of $336$30 million at June 30, 2005, of which approximately $1 million was 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 yearsfirst quarter of 2006, compared with $22 million for the Visteon Systems Salaried Plan.first quarter of 2005. The provisions for both the first quarter of 2006 and 2005 reflect primarily income tax expense related to those countries where the Company is profitable and whose results continue to be tax-effected, accrued withholding taxes, and certain non-recurring and other discrete tax items.
      DuringNon-recurring and other discrete items recorded in the thirdfirst quarter of 2006 resulted in additional tax expense of $3 million related primarily to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements in the quarter. Included in the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2005 Visteonwas a benefit of $8 million, 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 a pre-tax special chargeto increase the Company’s income tax reserves for prior year tax exposures.
The need to maintain valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and other affected countries will continue to cause variability in the Company’s quarterly and annual effective tax rates. Full valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and applicable foreign countries, which include the U.K. and Germany, will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate them.

      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 September 30, 2005 is about $71 million.

      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.its suppliers.

Environmental Matters
The Company is calculated by dividing reported net loss bysubject to the averagerequirements of federal, state, local and foreign environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations. These include laws regulating air emissions, water discharge and waste management. The Company is also subject to environmental laws requiring the investigation and cleanup of environmental contamination at properties it presently owns or operates and at third-party disposal or treatment facilities to which these sites send or arranged to send hazardous waste.
The Company is aware of contamination at some of its properties and relating to various third-party superfund sites at which the Company or its predecessor has been named as a potentially responsible party. The Company is in various stages of investigation and cleanup at these sites and at March 31, 2006, had recorded a reserve of approximately $9 million for this environmental investigation and cleanup. However, estimating liabilities for environmental investigation and cleanup is complex and dependent upon a number of sharesfactors beyond the Company’s control and which may change dramatically. Although the Company believes its reserve is adequate based on current information, the Company cannot provide assurance that the eventual environmental investigation, cleanup costs and related liabilities will not exceed the amount of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, adjusted for restricted stock. The calculation of diluted net loss per share takes into account the effect of dilutive potential common stock, such as stock options, and contingently returnable shares, such as restricted stock.its current reserve.

NOTE 14.16. Segment Information
      Visteon’s reportableStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires the Company to disclose certain financial and descriptive information about certain segments of its business. Segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or a decision-making group, in deciding the allocation of resources and in assessing performance.
In late 2005 the Company announced a new operating structure to manage the business on a go-forward basis, post the ACH Transactions. During the first quarter of 2006 the Company completed the realignment of its information systems and reporting structures to facilitate financial reporting for the new operating structure. Accordingly, segment disclosures have been updated to reflect the current operating structure and comparable prior period segment data has been revised.
The Company’s revised operating structure is comprised of the following: Climate, Electronics, Interiors and Other. These global product groups have financial and operating responsibility over the design, development and manufacture of the Company’s product portfolio. Within each of the global product groups, certain facilities manufacture a broader range of the Company’s total product line offering and are not limited to the primary product line. Regional customer groups are responsible for the marketing, sales and service of the Company’s product portfolio to its customer base. Certain functions such as procurement, information technology and other administrative activities are managed on a global basis with regional deployment. In addition to these global product groups, the Company also operates Visteon Services, a centralized administrative function to monitor and facilitate transactions with ACH for the costs of leased employees and other services provided to ACH by the Company.
The Company’s chief operating decision making group, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments are Automotive Operationsprimarily based on net sales, before elimination of inter-company shipments, gross margin and Glass Operations. Visteon will be reassessing its reportable operating segmentsassets. Gross margin is defined as total sales less costs to manufacture and product development and engineering expenses.

SecuritiesNet Sales, Gross Margin and Related MattersOperating Assets:
      In February 2005, a shareholder lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern DistrictA summary of Michigan against Visteonnet sales 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. Asfinancial information by segment 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.provided below:
      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 the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“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 such loss is not covered by insurance or applicable reserves.

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 September 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statement of operations for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 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 September 30, 2004 financial statements.

Executive Summary
Business Overview
Visteon Corporation is a leading global supplier of climate, interiors, electronics and other automotive systems, modules and components to vehicle manufacturers as well as the automotive aftermarket. The Company sells to all of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers including BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundia/Kia, Nissan, Peugot, Renault, Toyota and Volkswagen.
The Company has a broad network of manufacturing, technical engineering and joint venture operations throughout the world, supported by 47,000 employees dedicated to the design, development, manufacture and support of its product offering and its global customers, and conducts its business across five segments: Climate, Interiors, Electronics, Other and Services.
Over the recent past, Visteon embarked upon a multi-phase, multi-year plan to focus its business, improve its operating position and competitive profile and to ultimately achieve sustainable profitability. A significant milestone in this long-term plan was the successful completion of the ACH Transactions with Ford on October 1, 2005. Although the ACH Transactions resulted in a significant reduction in the Company’s total sales (the business constituted approximately $6 billion in 2005 sales through the date of the transaction), this business was loss making and the Company’s ability to improve profitability was significantly restricted given the inflexible operating arrangements. Further, pursuant to this transaction, the Company transferred all master Ford-UAW employees to ACH including full relief of approximately $2.2 billion of related postretirement employee obligations and received cash funding for future restructuring actions with the establishment of a $400 million escrow account funded by Ford under the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Company’s management believes that completion of the ACH Transactions provided the Company a solid operating foundation from which to move forward and improve.
In addition to the ACH Transactions, the Company has implemented initiatives intended to improve its cost competitiveness and focus management resources. In June 2005, the Company approved changes to its U.S. salaried postretirement health care and life insurance plans which will become fully effective in June 2007. These changes resulted in the reduction to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of approximately $336 million and a per annum reduction of benefit expense of approximately $60 million. In December 2005, the Company approved changes to its U.S. salaried pension and 401(k) plans which will become effective July 1, 2006, resulting in a per annum net reduction to expense of approximately $40 million. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company executed a number of restructuring actions to reduce manpower census at certain manufacturing and other facilities, including the announced closure of three facilities in the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico. Restructuring costs of approximately $24 million related to these actions were reimbursed from the escrow account at the end of 2005. Finally, in late 2005, the Company announced a new operating structure to manage the business forward and align resources on a global product group basis with the initiation of the Company’s segments — Climate, Interiors, Electronics, Other and Services.

Three-Months Ended March 31, 2006
In January 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement program designed to further restructure the business and improve profitability. This improvement plan identified certain underperforming and non-strategic facilities that require significant restructuring or potential exit, as well as other infrastructure and cost reduction initiatives. This program is expected to have a cumulative cash cost of approximately $550 million, of which $400 million is expected to be reimbursed from the escrow account. The Company expects to record restructuring charges, and related reimbursement from the escrow account as available, as elements of the plan are finalized.
The Company also replaced its $300 million secured short-term revolving credit agreement that expired in December 2005, with a new18-month secured term loan in the amount of $350 million that closed in January 2006. This secured term loan was made part of the Company’s existing five-year credit revolving credit agreement and expires in June 2007. The Company has recently initiated activities to refinance its 2007 scheduled debt maturities with an expected completion during 2006.
Financial highlights for the three-months ended March 31, 2006 include:
• Net product sales were $2.8 billion, of which non-Ford customers accounted for 52%
• Gross margin of 8.2%, up from 2.9% in 2005
• SG&A of $168 million, lower than 2005 by $82 million
• Net income of $3 million or $0.02 per diluted shares, compared to a net loss of $163 million or $1.30 per diluted share in 2005
• Cash of $881 million, an increase of $16 million compared to 2005 year-end
• Cash used by operating activities of $32 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $178 million in 2005
• Capital expenditures of $85 million, lower than 2005 by $42 million
The automotive industry remains challenging in North America and Europe, with continued market share pressures concentrated with U.S. vehicle manufacturers. While the ACH Transactions significantly reduced the Company’s exposure to Ford’s North America vehicle production, Ford remains an important customer, constituting 48% of the Company’s first quarter 2006 net product sales. Continued declines in Ford’s vehicle production could materially affect the Company’s operating results and the Company continues to work with other vehicle manufacturers to further its sales growth and diversification. As an example of this effort, in the first quarter of 2006, Visteon was awarded a significant 2009 truck interior program by DaimlerChrysler. In order to succeed in winning and retaining business with its key customers as well as to leverage its customer position across the entire product portfolio, Visteon must continue to seamlessly execute new program launches, develop innovative and valued added products and solutions, and provide, in certain instances, co-located manufacturing and assembly capabilities.
Visteon’s customers expect it to continue to reduce the costs of the products it provides, as well as provide an increasing level of engineering and related support of vehicle programs on a global basis. The Company must continue to work on reducing its overall costs by improving productivity and restructuring its operations and infrastructure to offset the impact of lower selling prices to its customers. A significant component of the Company’s cost structure is comprised of the cost of raw materials used in the manufacture of its products. The continued inflationary pressures impacting certain commodities such as aluminum, resins and natural gas used in our manufacturing processes and facilities may adversely impact the Company’s financial results. The Company continues to develop and implement strategies and actions with both its supplier and customer base to mitigate the impact of higher raw material costs.

The Company continues to execute its long-term improvement program although no assurances can be provided that the results of these efforts will mitigate the negative industry trends currently being experienced.
Results of Operations
Organization and Operating Structure
In late 2005 the Company announced a new operating structure to manage the business on a go-forward basis, post the ACH Transactions. During the first quarter of 2006 the Company completed the accompanying realignment of information systems and reporting structures to facilitate financial reporting under the revised organizational structure. Accordingly, segment disclosures have been updated to reflect the revised operating structure and comparable prior period segment data has been revised. The Company’s revised operating structure is comprised of the following: Climate, Electronics, Interiors, Services and Other. The Company’s segments are disclosed in Note 16 “Segment Information” to the consolidated financial statementsstatements.

Net Sales
The Company’s net sales were $3.0 billion in Visteon’s 2004 Form 10-K/ A.the first quarter of 2006, compared with $5.0 billion in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $2.0 billion or 41%. The ACH Transactions resulted in a decrease of $2.2 billion, which was partially offset by Services revenues of $145 million and an increase in remaining product sales of $21 million. The increase in product sales reflects higher Ford Europe production volume and new business, partially offset by unfavorable Ford North America production volume and mix, unfavorable foreign currency of $134 million, and customer price reductions.
RestatementNet sales for Climate were $783 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $718 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $65 million or 9%. Favorable production volume and mix of $95 million was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency and customer price reductions. Favorable production volume and mix was concentrated in the Asia Pacific region, reflecting continued growth in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries.

Net sales for Electronics were $795 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $881 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $86 million or 10%. Production volume and mix was unfavorable $19 million. Lower Ford North America production volume and unfavorable product mix reduced net sales by $43 million which was partially offset by increased net sales in Europe of $28 million. Unfavorable foreign currency and customer price reductions comprise the remainder of the deterioration.

Production volume and mix was unfavorable $75 million, with unfavorable foreign currency and customer price reductions comprising the remainder of the deterioration. The unfavorable production volume and mix was attributable to reflecting lower Ford North America production volume and adverse product mix.
Net sales for accounting correctionsOther were $664 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $737 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $73 million or 10%. Production volume and mix was unfavorable $55 million and foreign currency and customer pricing was unfavorable $18 million. The unfavorable production volume and mix was primarily attributable to lower Ford North America production volumes partially offset by higher Ford Europe production volume.
Services revenues were $145 million in the first quarter of 2006, related to freight,information technology, engineering, administrative and other business support services provided by the Company approximating cost, under the terms of various agreements to ACH in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Gross Margin
The Company’s gross margin was $147 million in the first quarter of 2005, compared with $244 million in the first quarter of 2006, representing an increase of $97 million or 66%. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributable to the benefit of the ACH Transactions of $55 million, OPEB relief of $23 million related to the transfer of certain Visteon salaried employees to Ford in January 2006 and improved operating performance.
Gross margin for Climate was $54 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $63 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $9 million or 14%. Although net sales increased during the quarter, unfavorable customer and product mix resulted in a decrease in gross margin of $4 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities and lower OPEB expense were more than offset by customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs, other supplier costs and income tax matters.principally aluminum, resulting in a further reduction in gross margin of $5 million.
      As a resultGross margin for Electronics was $97 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $105 million in the restatement, previously reported net loss increased by $15 million ($0.12 per share) and $18 million ($0.15 per share) for the third quarter and first nine months ended September 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 third quarter of 2005, were relatively flat compared to the third quarterrepresenting a decrease of 2004, as$8 million or 8%. Production volume and mix was unfavorable $39 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities and lower OPEB expense more than offset customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs resulting in an increase in non-Ford sales largely offset a decreasegross margin of $31 million.
Gross margin for Interiors was $19 million in Ford sales. Consistentthe first quarter of 2006, compared with our strategy to increase our customer and geographic diversification, non-Ford sales were $1.5 billion for$15 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $4 million or 27%. Production volume and mix was unfavorable $10 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities and lower OPEB expense more than offset customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs resulting in an increase in gross margin of $14 million.
Gross margin for Other was $50 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $19 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $31 million. Production volume and mix was favorable $13 million. Material and manufacturing cost reduction activities, including negotiated wage concessions in Germany, and lower OPEB expense more than offset customer price reductions and increases in raw material costs resulting in an increase in gross margin of $18 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $168 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $250 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of $82 million or 33%. Under the terms of various agreements between the Company and ACH, expenses previously classified as selling, general and administrative expenses incurred to support the business of ACH are now classified as costs of sales in the consolidated financial statements. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects $59 million of expenses incurred in support of ACH included in costs of sales in the first quarter of 2006. Lower OPEB expenses, net efficiencies, and reduced bad debt expense contributed to the remaining $23 million of lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Interest
Net interest expense was $39 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $29 million in the first quarter of 2005, representing an increase of $10 million or 34%. The increase resulted from higher market interest rates on outstanding debt in 2006 compared to 2005.
Restructuring Activities
On January 11, 2006, the Company announced a three-year improvement plan that involves certain underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses and is designed to improve operating performance and achieve cost reductions. Activities associated with this plan are expected to affect up 8 percent overto 23 facilities with costs expected to include employee severance and termination benefit costs, contract termination costs, and production transfer costs.
During the same period in 2004,first quarter of 2006 the Company recorded $9 million of severance and represented 36 percent of total sales. A majorityother restructuring costs related to this three-year improvement plan. The most significant of these non-Ford salescosts relates to the Company’s Electronics segment, which recorded approximately $6 million of severance costs related to activities at certain facilities located in Mexico and Portugal. These severance costs are associated with the termination of approximately 500 hourly and 50 salaried employees. Approximately $5 million related to these activities is recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2006.
The Company had previously recorded restructuring reserves related to the three-year improvement plan of $14 million as of December 31, 2005. Such reserves were outsiderelated to employee severance and termination benefit related costs associated with the termination of North America.approximately 1,200 hourly and salary employees resulting from activities at certain facilities located in the U.S., Europe, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Approximately $6 million related to these activities is recorded in other current liabilities as of March 31, 2006.
The thirdCompany estimates that the total cash cost associated with this three-year improvement plan will be approximately $550 million, offset by $400 million of escrow account reimbursement. Generally, charges will be recorded as elements of the plan are finalized and the timing of activities and the amount of such costs are not likely to change. The cumulative costs incurred to date related to the three-year improvement plan are approximately $46 million, including $11 million related to Electronics, $2 million related to Climate and $33 million related to Other.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $30 million for the first quarter net loss of $207 million compares to a net loss of $1,4392006, compared with $22 million in the same period in 2004, a decrease of $1,232 million. Visteon’s net loss in the third quarter included special charges of $11 million and $1,269 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The special charges in 2004 included the non-cash increase in deferred tax asset valuation allowances of $931 million and a non-cash asset impairment of $314 million to reduce the net book value of fixed assets related to the steering systems product group. Operating results for 2005 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 selling price reductions, adverse product mix, higher postretirement benefits costs, and raw material cost increases in certain commodity groups.
      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 third quarter of 2005 was approximately $69 million. For the first nine months of 2005, the benefit was approximately $170 million.
      In the face of a challenging first nine months of 2005, we improved cash flows from operations by $152 million over the comparable period last year. Visteon’s cash balance grew by $146 million since year-end 2004. This reflects the $311 million deposit received from Ford as of September 30, 2005, as consideration for inventory of the transferred business, the funding agreement with Ford under which we received an acceleration of payment terms for certain U.S. payables to Visteon, and retirement of $250 million of debt in August. The reduction to our capital expenditures for the first nine months 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 strategy focus.

      Year-to-date 2005 results include significant special charges totaling $1,194 million, contributing to a net loss of $1,608 million. Third quarter special charges include the non-U.S. prior service pension costs of $11 million to reflect a reduction of expected future years of service for some plan participants. Additional second quarter charges include the non-cash asset impairment of $920 million related to approximately $1.5 billion of assets transferred to a Ford-controlled entity during the fourth quarter, 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. First quarter charges consisted of $7 million for U.S. salaried voluntary separation.
      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.

      At September 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 third quarter of 2005, Visteon recorded pre-tax special charges of $11 million in costs of sales for non-U.S. prior service pension costs to reflect a reduction of expected future years of service for some plan participants.

33


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

      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 impairment 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 employees2005. Income taxes during the first quarter of 2005. This U.S. salaried voluntary separation incentive program is expected to have2006 and 2005 included the impact of maintaining a payback of slightly more than one year. As of June 30, 2005, substantially all ofvaluation allowance against the employees have terminated their employment.
      During the third quarter of 2004, the Automotive Operations recorded a pre-tax, non-cash impairment of $314 million in costs of sales to reduce the net book value of certain long-lived assets. This impairment was based on an assessment by product line asset group, completed in the third quarter of 2004, of the recoverability of our long-lived assets in light of the challenging environment in which we operate. The assessment included consideration of lower than anticipated Ford North American production volume 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 of the steering systems product group were impaired. The impairment was approximately $249 million in North America and $65 million in Europe and was determined on a “held for use” basis. Fair values were determined primarily based on prices for similar groups of assets determined by a third-party valuation firm.
      Also in the third quarter of 2004, early retirement incentive and other charges related to incentive programs were offered to eligible Visteon-assigned Ford-UAW employees to voluntarily retire or to relocate in order to return to a Ford facility. About 500 employees elected to retire early at a cost of $18 million and about 210 employees have agreed to return to a Ford facility at a cost of $7 million.
      Also in the third quarter of 2004, Visteon recorded a non-cash charge of $931 million to establish full valuation allowances against our netCompany’s deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. This charge was comprised of $948 million relatedAs a result, income taxes attributable to deferred tax assets as ofpre-tax losses incurred in the beginning of the year and $60 millionaffected jurisdictions were not provided. The provisions for income tax benefits recorded duringboth the first half of the year, offset by a reduction of related tax reserves, previously included in other liabilities of $77 million. The charge is discussed in more detail in Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements.

34


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

      Plant closure charges in the first half of 2004 of $10 million are related to the involuntary separation of up to about 200 employees as a result of the closure of our La Verpilliere, France manufacturing facility. European Plan for Growth charges in the first half of 2004 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.
      Cash payments related to special charges were $66 million and $129 million during the first nine months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. The amounts include payments to Ford of about $15 million and $74 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.
      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 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 third quarter of 2005 were $3,999 million, compared with $4,011 million in the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of $12 million. Sales to Ford and affiliates declined mainly due to lower Ford vehicle production ($40 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 sales to other customers by $18 million and $35 million respectively.
      Sales for Glass Operations were $122 million in the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of $3 million. Increased non-Ford sales were more than offset by lower Ford North American production volume and price reductions.

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

Costs of Salesincludes primarily material, labor, manufacturing overhead and other costs, such as product development costs. Costs of sales for the third quarter of 2005 were $4,032 million, compared with $4,366 million in the third quarter of 2004. Results were affected by special charges which were $11 million in 2005 and $336 million in 2004.
      The decrease in costs of sales was partially offset by the non-recurrence of 2004’s favorable adjustment to product recall accruals of $49 million and a 2004 favorable $20 million adjustment to annual incentive compensation accruals.
      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 reflected the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes ($52 million).
      Costs of sales were reduced by certain net efficiencies totaling $122 million. This net amount includes the benefit of the Ford funding agreement on our labor costs, material cost reductions, lower depreciation and amortization, and labor efficiencies. Increased raw material costs in certain commodity groups, and wages and benefits including OPEB, were partial offsets.
Selling, administrative and other expensesfor the third quarter of 2005 were $239 million, compared with $225 million in the third quarter of 2004. The increase reflects the non-recurrence of 2004’s adjustment to annual incentive compensation accruals of $15 million and costs associated with negotiations with Ford. These increases were partially offset by cost efficiencies.
Net interest expense and debt extinguishment costof $38 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared with $23 million in the third 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 companieswas $8 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $9 million in the third quarter of 2004. The decrease is related primarily to our affiliates in China, which were impacted by lower customer production and price reductions.
Loss before income taxes and minority interests,including and excluding special charges, is the primary profitability measure used by our chief operating decision makers.

      Automotive Operations’ third quarter 2005 loss before income taxes and minority interests was $164 million compared with a loss of $461 million for the third quarter of 2004. Results were affected by special charges which were $11 million in 2005 and $336 million in 2004. The 2004 special charges included the non-cash asset impairment of $314 million to reduce the net book value of fixed assets related to the steering systems product group.

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

      The year-over-year change in third quarter loss before income taxes and minority interests also reflects the non-recurrence of 2004’s favorable adjustment to product recall accruals of $49 million and a 2004 favorable $35 million adjustment to annual incentive compensation accruals.
      The impact of lower Ford vehicle production volume in North America and Europe and unfavorable vehicle mix in North America was essentially offset by the impact of increased new non-Ford business. Reduced prices to our customers were more than offset by favorable cost performance including the impact of the Ford funding agreement, and lower depreciation and amortization expense, despite raw material increases in certain commodity groups.
      Loss before income taxes and minority interests for Glass Operations in the third quarter of 2005 was $16 million compared with $8 million for the third quarter of 2004. The decrease reflects lower Ford North American production volume combined with price reductions offset partially by favorable cost performance.
Provision for income taxeswas $21 million for the third quarter of 2005, compared with a total provision of $963 million for the third quarter of 2004. Visteon’s provision for income taxes for the third quarter 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 third quarter of 2005 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. In the third quarter of 2005, the $3 million tax benefit related to favorable currency exchange rate movements was largely offset by other non-recurring and discrete tax provision items in the quarter. Visteon’s provision for income taxes of $963 million for the third quarter of 2004 includes a charge of $931 million to write-down our net deferred tax assets, as of the beginning of the third quarter, in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. This charge is comprised of $948 million related to deferred tax assets as of the beginning of the year and $60 million for income tax benefits recorded during the first half of 2004, offset by the reduction of related tax reserves of $77 million.
Minority interests in net income of subsidiarieswas $6 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared with $7 million in the third 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.

      Visteon reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2005 of $207 million compared with a net loss of $1,439 million for the third quarter of 2004 because of the factors described above in loss before income taxes and minority interests. Special charges after taxes were $11 million for third quarter 2005 compared to $1,269 million for third quarter 2004.

      Sales for Automotive Operations in the first nine months of 2005 were $13,716 million, compared with $13,577 million in the first nine months of 2004, an increase of $139 million. Sales to Ford and affiliates declined mainly due to lower Ford vehicle production ($523 million), selling price reductions and unfavorable vehicle mix. Sales to other customers increased mainly due to new business. Sales to Ford and affiliates and sales to other customers increased by $123 million and $195 million, respectively, from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
      Sales for Glass Operations were $395 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared with $401 million in the first nine months 2004. Increased non-Ford sales were offset by lower Ford North American production volume and price reductions.
Costs of Salesincludes primarily material, labor, manufacturing overhead and other costs, such as product development costs. Costs of sales for the first nine months of 2005 were $14,815 million, compared with $13,603 million in the first nine months of 2004. Results were affected by special charges which were $1,194 million in 2005 and $355 million in 2004. The increased special charges primarily reflect non-cash asset impairment in 2005 related to assets held for sale which 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 increase in costs of sales was partially offset by the non-recurrence of 2004’s favorable adjustment to product recall accruals of $49 million.
      Costs of sales were also impacted by higher costs at new facilities supporting increased non-Ford business as well as our limited ability to reduce costs in parallel with lower production at facilities supporting the Ford North American business due to our inflexible cost structure.

38


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

      Costs of sales were reduced by certain net efficiencies totaling $243 million. This net amount includes material cost reductions, the benefit of the Ford funding agreement on our labor costs, labor efficiencies and lower depreciation and amortization. Increased raw material costs in certain commodity groups, wages and other benefits including OPEB, and warranty, were partial offsets.
Selling, administrative and other expensesfor the first nine months of 2005 were $763 million, compared with $728 million in the third quarter of 2004. The increase primarily reflects increased bad debt expense ($50 million in the first nine months of 2005, $41 million higher than the first nine months 2004), the impact of foreign currency exchange rates ($7 million), and costs associated with the negotiations with Ford. These increases were partially offset by lower IT costs ($29 million) and other cost efficiencies.
Net interest expense and debt extinguishment costof $98 million in the first nine months of 2005 was $26 million higher than the first nine months 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 third quarter of 2004.
Equity in net income of affiliated companieswas $22 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared with $38 million in the first nine months of 2004. The decrease is related primarily to our affiliates in China, which were impacted by lower customer production and price reductions.
Loss before income taxes and minority interests,including and excluding special charges, is the primary profitability measure used by our chief operating decision makers.

      Automotive Operations’ first nine months 2005 loss before income taxes and minority interests was $1,512 million compared with a loss of $391 million for the first nine months of 2004. Results were affected by special charges which were $1,194 million in 2005 and $355 million in 2004. The increased special charges primarily reflect non-cash asset impairment in 2005 related to assets held for sale which 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 year-over-year change reflects the non-recurrence of a $49 million favorable adjustment during 2004 to product recall accruals.

39


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

      The increased loss also reflects the impact of lower Ford vehicle production volume in North America and Europe as well as unfavorable vehicle mix in North America ($332 million), increased bad debt expense partially offset by increased, albeit lower margin, non-Ford business. Reduced prices to our customers were offset by favorable cost performance, despite raw material cost increases in certain commodity groups, and the impact of the Ford funding agreement.
      Loss before income taxes and minority interests for Glass Operations in the first nine months of 2005 was $31 million compared with a profit of $4 million before taxes and minority interests for the third quarter of 2004. The decrease reflects lower Ford North American production volume and price reductions offset partially by favorable cost performance.
Provision for income taxeswas $41 million for the first nine months of 2005, compared with a total provision of $983 million for the first nine months of 2004. Visteon’s provision for income taxes 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 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 nine months of 2005 resulted in a net benefit of $37 million. This includes 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 recorded in the second quarter of 2005, as well as a net benefit of $8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2006 resulted in additional tax expense of $3 million related primarily to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements in the quarter. Included in the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2005 was a benefit of $8 million, 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 primarily to increase ourthe Company’s income tax reserves for prior year tax exposures.
During the remaining quarters of 2006, the Company may undertake legal restructuring actions in Europe and Asia which would include an overall review of business plans in certain jurisdictions. Such review would include whether or not a portion of the past, current or future earnings of certain affiliates are permanently reinvested under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23 “Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas.” The first nine monthsCompany’s policy has been to provide deferred taxes for the net effect of 2004 includesrepatriating earnings from consolidated foreign subsidiaries. If a charge of $871 million relateddetermination is made to additional valuation allowancestreat any such earnings as permanently reinvested, the Company would reduce the previously established against Visteon’saccruals for withholding taxes and the deferred tax assetsliability on the affected earnings, which could result in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. This charge is comprised of $948 million relateda one-time and/or ongoing reduction to deferred tax assets as of the beginning of the year, offset by the reduction of related tax reserves of $77 million. Visteon’s results for the first nine months of 2004 reflect no income tax benefits for current year losses in the U.S. and other affected countries.
Minority interests in net income of subsidiarieswas $24 million in the first nine months of 2005, compared with $28 million in the first nine months of 2004. Minority interest amounts are related primarily to Halla Climate Control Corporation, a Korean company, of which Visteon holds a 70% ownership interest.

      Visteon reported a net loss for the first nine months of 2005 of $1,608 million compared with a net loss of $1,398 million for the first nine months of 2004 because of the factors described above in loss before income taxes and minority interests. Special charges after taxes were $1,194 million for the first nine months of 2005 and $1,222 million for the first nine months of 2004.
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 nine months of 2005, costs of sales were reduced by $170 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 $175 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 nine months 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.

41


ITEM 2. 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 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 nine months 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, and its subsidiaries, 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 September 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”), with Ford, 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.

42

(i)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.
(ii)Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2005 (the “Escrow Agreement”), among Visteon, Ford and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as escrow agent, Ford paid $400 million into an escrow account for use by Visteon to restructure its 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.

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

(v)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 will provide human resource services to the buyer under the terms of the Master Services Agreement, described above, for up to 24 months.
(vii)Salaried Employee Lease Agreement. On October 1, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into a salaried employee lease agreement that is substantially similar to the Salaried Employee Lease Agreement described above, providing for the lease to Ford of certain salaried employees employed at, or principally supporting, the plants located in Rawsonville and Sterling Heights, Michigan from the date each such plant is transferred by ACH to Ford until January 1, 2006.
(viii)Hourly Employee Conversion Agreement.

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

(x)Employee Transition Agreement Amendment. On October 1, 2005, Visteon and Ford entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Employee Transition Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2003, pursuant to which Ford released Visteon from its obligations to reimburse Ford for the cost of providing postretirement health and life benefits, and its pre-funding obligations with respect to such benefits associated with certain employees who are eligible or who may become eligible to retire under the Ford General Retirement Plan, and Ford has agreed to reimburse Visteon for one half the cost of certain OPEB and pension expenses associated with leased employees who retire as a result of a sale, closure or exit of an ACH operation.
(xi)Purchase and Supply Agreements. On September 30, 2005, Visteon entered into two Purchase and Supply Agreements with ACH which set forth the supply obligations, pricing and related matters for certain parts, components and systems that are manufactured by one party and supplied to the other. On October 1, 2005, Visteon entered into a Purchase and Supply Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2005, with Ford which sets forth the supply obligations, pricing and related matters for certain parts, components and systems that are manufactured by Visteon and supplied to Ford.

These agreements allocate certain intellectual property rights among the parties associated with transferring the Business to ACH.
      Pursuant to the agreements described above, Visteon and Ford terminated certain existing commercial agreements, including the funding agreement, dated as of March 10, 2005, as amended, the master equipment bailment agreement, dated as of March 10, 2005, as amended, their Purchase and Supply Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2003, and their 2003 Relationship Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2003, as well as their Amended and Restated Hourly Employee Assignment Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2000, as amended and restated as of December 19, 2003.expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
      Visteon’sThe Company’s cash and liquidity needs are impacted by the level, variability, and timing of ourits customers’ worldwide vehicle production, which varies based on economic conditions and market shares in major markets. OurThe Company’s 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 subsequentramp-up of new model production and the additional one-week shutdown in December by ourits primary North American customers. These seasonal effects normally require use of liquidity resources during the first and third quarters. Further, as ourthe Company’s operating profitability has become more concentrated with ourits foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures, ourthe majority of the Company’s cash balancebalances located outside the U.S. has increased. Approximately forty percentcontinue to increase. As of Visteon’sMarch 31, 2006 approximately 70% of the Company’s cash at September 30, 2005 was heldbalance is located in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. Visteon’sas compared to approximately 60% at December 31, 2005. The Company’s ability to moveefficiently access cash among its operating locationsbalances in certain foreign jurisdictions is subject to the operating needs of each location as well as restrictions imposed by local laws.

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

      Visteon’s balance sheet reflects cash of $898 millionregulatory and total debt of $1,955 million at September 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 nine months of 2005, through modified payment terms, reduction in labor reimbursement costs and Ford funding of capital expenditures at certain U.S. facilities. Visteon also received a $311 million deposit from Ford as of September 30, 2005, as consideration for inventory of the transferred business. 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, on October 1, 2005, 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 of 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 European and Asia 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 September 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 $1,522 million of outstanding long-term debt at September 30, 2005. This debt includes $702 million of notes bearing interest at 8.25% due August 1, 2010, $444 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 $137 million of various other, primarily non-U.S. affiliate long-term debt instruments with various maturities.

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

      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 capitalstatutory 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 from Ford 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 September 30, 2005, Visteon had $539 million of borrowings outstanding, and about $113 million of obligations under the letters of credit, under our primary bank credit agreements described below. In addition, as of September 30, 2005, approximately $270 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.

47


ITEM 2. 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 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 September 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).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 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 September 30, 2005, VRL sold $55 million in a pool of about $263 million of net receivables. The maximum amount of undivided interests that VRL could have sold to the conduit was approximately $71 million. Visteon expects the maximum amount of undivided interest that VRL could have sold 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 September 30, 2005, Visteon had sold euro 52 million ($62 million). Visteon also initiated a smaller program in Asia in the first quarter of 2005 of which Japanese yen 671 million ($6 million) were sold as of September 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 (“Moody’s current corporate rating of the company is B2 and SGL rating is 3. The rating on senior unsecured debt is B3. The latest rating action by the agency moved the outlook to negative on January 18, 2006. S&P”)&P’s current corporate rating of the company is B+ and the Company’s short term liquidity is B-2. The agency currently has a negative outlook on the rating. Fitch’s current rating on the Company’s senior secured debt is B with a negative outlook. The latest rating action by the agency downgraded Visteon from BB+ to B+; on April 21, 2005, Fitch downgraded Visteonthe senior secured debt from BB to B;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 outlookdebt from B to stable.
      On August 9, 2005, Fitch raised Visteon’s senior debt to BB withCCC-, while maintaining a positivenegative 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.

      Visteon’s access to liquidity has become significantly less reliable and more costly as a result of rating agency actions, and anyAny further downgrade in Visteon’sthe Company’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 RequirementsDebt
      Cash required to meet capital expenditure needs inThe Company had $1,849 million of outstanding long-term debt at March 31, 2006. This debt includes $699 million of notes bearing interest at 8.25% due August 1, 2010, $435 million of notes bearing interest at 7.00% due March 10, 2014, $241 million of the first nine months of 2005 was $400 million.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $571 million of available borrowings under the $1,122 million five-year revolving credit facility (which includes the 18-Month Term Loan) after a reduction for $101 million of obligations under letters of credit and $450 million drawn. In addition, as of March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $427 million of available borrowings under other committed and uncommitted facilities. Borrowings under certain credit agreements are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries, as well as 65% of the stock of many first tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Company has recently initiated activities to refinance its 2007 scheduled debt maturities with an expected completion during 2004.2006.
Covenants and Restrictions
The Company is subject to various covenants and restrictions on its borrowings. The Company’s primary credit agreements currently contain certain affirmative and negative covenants including a covenant not to exceed a certain leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreements) of 4.75 for the quarters ending December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006; 5.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2006; 4.25 for the quarter ending September 30, 2006; 3.00 for the quarter ending December 31, 2006; 2.75 for the quarter ending March 31, 2007; and 2.50 thereafter. In addition, the Credit Agreements contain limits on annual capital expenditures. In 2005, Visteon cannot exceed $400 million incredit agreements limit the amount of capital expenditures from June 24, 2005 through December 31, 2005.
      On October 3, 2005, Ford paid $400 million into an escrow accountand cash payments for use by Visteon to restructure its businesses (as described above).dividends that the Company may make. 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 halfability of the next $300 million ofCompany’s subsidiaries to transfer assets is subject to various restrictions, including regulatory requirements and governmental restraints.
At March 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions, as amended, although there can be no assurance that the Company will remain in compliance with such additional costs. Ford has also agreedcovenants in the future. If the Company was to reimburse Visteon for upviolate a financial covenant and not obtain a waiver, the credit agreements could be terminated and amounts outstanding would be accelerated. The Company can provide no assurance that, in such event, that it would have access to $150 million of separation costs associated with those Visteon salaried employees who are assignedsufficient liquidity resources 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 ofrepay 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.amounts.

New Accounting Standards
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156 (“SFAS 156”), “Accounting for dividends was $24 millionServicing of Financial Assets.” This statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a transfer of financial assets that meet the requirement for sale accounting. In addition, all of these separately recognized servicing assets or liabilities are required to be initially measured at fair value, with two permitted methods available for subsequent measurement: the amortization method or the fair value measurement. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2007 and the Company is currently evaluating the impact of the requirements of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS 123(R)”), “Share-Based Payments.” This statement requires that all share-based payments to employees be recognized in the first nine monthsfinancial statements based on their fair value. SFAS 123(R) was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective method. In accordance with the modified-prospective transition method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of 2004.SFAS 123(R). Under the modified-prospective method, compensation cost includes:
• Share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).
• Share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).

35


The cumulative effect, net of tax, of adoption of SFAS 123(R) was $4 million or $0.03 per share as of January 1, 2006. The Company recorded $6 million or $0.05 per share of incremental compensation expense during the three-months ended March 31, 2006, under SFAS 123(R) when compared to the amount that would have been recorded under SFAS 123. Additional disclosures required by SFAS 123(R) regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and related accounting are provided in Note 3 “Stock-Based Compensation” to the consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company had valued its stock appreciation rights based upon the intrinsic value of the Company’s common stock at the end of each reporting period. With the adoption of SFAS 123(R), stock appreciation rights are valued at fair market value through the use of a Black Scholes option pricing model. As of March 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units was $5 million, $7 million, $1 million, and $19 million, respectively, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.75 years, 1.79 years, 2.73 years, and 2.03 years, respectively. Additional disclosures as required by SFAS 123(R) are included in Note 3 “Stock-Based Compensation” to the consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and effective January 1, 2003 the Company began expensing the fair value of stock-based awards granted to employees pursuant to SFAS 123. This standard was adopted on the 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, the Company measured compensation cost using the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” as permitted by SFAS 123. If compensation cost for all stock-based awards had been determined based on the estimated fair value of stock options and the fair value at the date of grant for restricted stock awards, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company’s reported net loss and net loss per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

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.

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.

53


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

      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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
      VisteonThe Company is exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and certain commodity prices. To manage these risks, we usethe Company uses a combination of fixed price contracts with suppliers, cost sourcing arrangements with customers and financial derivatives. We maintainThe Company maintains 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’sThe Company’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’sThe Company’s on-going solution is to reduce the exposure through operating actions.
      Visteon’sThe Company’s primary foreign exchange operating exposures include the euro, Korean won, Czech koruna and Mexican peso, euro, and Czech koruna.peso. Because of the mix between ourthe Company’s costs and our salesrevenues in various regions, operating results are exposed generally to weakening of the euro and to strengthening of the Korean won, Czech koruna and Mexican peso and Czech koruna.peso. For transactions in these currencies, Visteonthe Company utilizes a strategy of partial coverage. As of September 30, 2005, ourMarch 31, 2006, the Company’s coverage for projected transactions in these currencies was about 42%approximately 40% for 2005.2006.
As of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, the net fair value of foreign currency forward and option contracts was an asset of $11$3 million and $18$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 $49$28 million and $72$62 million as of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, 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 all move in the same direction, the estimate may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on the net fair value of ourthe Company’s 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.

54


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK — (Continued)

Interest Rate Risk
      VisteonThe Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. These swaps effectively convert a portion of Visteon’sthe Company’s fixed rate debt into variable rate debt. DuringIncluding the first quartereffect of 2005, Visteon terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200$350 million related to the 8.25% notes due August 1, 2010, which reduced the notional amount of interest rate swaps, to $350 million. Asapproximately 43% and 45% of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 about 46% and 45%, respectively, of Visteon’sthe Company’s borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis.
      Asbasis as of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, respectively.
As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the net fair value of interest rate swaps was a liability of $13$24 million and an asset of $2$15 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 $9$8 million and $16$10 million as of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, 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 $5 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004, respectively.2005. This analysis may overstate the adverse impact on net interest expense because of the short-term nature of ourthe Company’s interest bearing investments.

40


Commodity Risk
      Visteon’sThe Company’s exposure to market risks from changes in the price of commodities including steel products, plastic resins, aluminum, natural gas and diesel fuel are not hedged due to a lack of acceptable hedging instruments in the market. Visteon’sThe Company’s exposures to price changes in thesesuch commodities and non-ferrous metals are attempted to be addressed through negotiations with ourthe Company’s suppliers and customers, although there can be no assurance that Visteonthe Company 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, anddepending upon the Company’s exposure level at that time, the effectiveness of the financial hedge and other factors.
      In the second quarter, 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. These forward contracts were subsequently terminated during the third quarter of 2005. Upon completion of the transactions with Ford on October 1, 2005 as described above, 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
      VisteonThe Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports Visteonthe Company files or submitswith the SEC 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’sthe Company’s management, including its Chief Executive OfficerCEO and Chief Financial Officer,CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

55


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued)

      As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act, VisteonThe Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Visteon’s Disclosure Committee and management, including the Chief Executive OfficerCEO and the Chief Financial Officer,CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005.March 31, 2006. Based upon thisthat evaluation, the Chief Executive OfficerCEO and the Chief Financial OfficerCFO concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the existence of a material weakness describedin the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weakness, described below, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this reportQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present,state, in all material respects, ourthe Company’s financial condition,position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.presented in conformity accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
      On May 10,In the Company’s 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 CurrentAnnual 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 to10-K, management concluded that 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.
      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 willCompany did not be prevented or detected. Management identified the following material weaknesses in the company’smaintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and through September 30, 2005.
(1)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.

56


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued)

      (2) 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 20042005 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.
(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 existence of a material weaknessesweakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described above.relating to ineffective controls over the complete and accurate recording of freight, raw material and other supplier costs and related period-end accruals and payables originating in its North American purchasing function. This material weakness continued to exist as of March 31, 2006.

57


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES — (Continued)

Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
(1)Accounting for Employee Postretirement Health Care Benefits
During the third and fourth quarters of 2005, the Company implemented additional controls to identify potential liabilities related to activities with its North American suppliers, and to ensure that costs are recorded in the correct period and that related period-end accruals and payables are complete and accurate. These controls included the implementation of policies and procedures to identify, assess and account for supplier activities and contracts and to estimate and record costs as incurred. Further, additional procedures have been implemented to ensure that period-end accruals and payables are complete and accurate. The Company continues to monitor and test the operating effectiveness of these controls.
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.
(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 beenThere were no changes in Visteon’sthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 that have materially affected,effected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Visteon’seffect, the Company’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.

PART II
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
SecuritiesSee the information above under Note 15. “Commitments 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 affectedContingencies,” to the extent any such lossconsolidated financial statements which is not coveredincorporated herein by insurance or applicable reserves.reference.

Other 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 September 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,Company’s results of operations, or cash flows, although such an outcome is possible.financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A.
