NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition for interim periods for Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, its consolidated subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs in which Ford Motor Credit Company LLC is the primary beneficiary (collectively referred to herein as "Ford Credit", "we", "our" or "us"). Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company ("Ford").

We reclassified certainprior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Provision for Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting we estimate one single effective tax rate, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or extraordinary items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurement. On January 1, 2012, we adopted the new accounting standard that requires us to report the level in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the balance sheet but for which the fair value is disclosed, and to expand existing disclosures. See Note 12 for further disclosure regarding our fair value measurements.

Comprehensive Income - Presentation. On January 1, 2012, we adopted the new accounting standard that modifies the options for presentation of other comprehensive income. The new accounting standard requires us to present comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. We have elected to present comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.

On January 1, 2012, we also adopted the new accounting standards Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase Agreements, and Financial Services - Insurance. The adoption of these new accounting standards did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Balance Sheet - Offsetting. In December 2011,the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard that requires disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for recognized financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new accounting standard is effective for us as of January 1, 2013.

NOTE 2. FINANCE RECEIVABLES

We segment our North America and International portfolio of finance receivables into "consumer" and "non-consumer" receivables. The receivables are secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed.

Consumer Segment. Receivables in this portfolio segment relate to products offered to individuals and businesses that finance the acquisition of Ford vehicles from dealers for personal or commercial use. The products include:

• Retail financing – retail installment contracts for new and used vehicles

• Direct financing leases – direct financing leases with retail customers, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers

Non-consumer Segment. Receivables in this portfolio segment relate to products offered to automotive dealers and purchased receivables. The products include:

• Wholesale financing – loans to dealers to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing

• Dealer loans – loans to dealers to finance working capital, and to finance the purchase of dealership real estate and/or make improvements to dealership facilities

• Other financing – purchased receivables and other finance receivables from Ford and its affiliates, primarily related to the sale of parts and accessories to dealers and certain used vehicles from daily rental fleet companies

Notes and accounts receivable from affiliated companies are presented separately on the balance sheet. These receivables are based on intercompany relationships and the balances are settled regularly. We do not assess these receivables for potential credit losses, nor are they subjected to aging analysis, credit quality reviews, or other formal assessments. As a result, Notes and accounts receivable from affiliated companies are not subject to the following disclosures contained herein.

Credit Quality

Consumer. When originating all classes of consumer receivables, we use a proprietary scoring system that measures the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g., FICO score), and customer and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other individual consumer factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay.

Subsequent to origination, we review the credit quality of our retail and direct financing lease receivables based on customer payment activity. As each customer develops a payment history, we use an internally-developed behavioral scoring model to assist in determining the best collection strategies. Based on data from this scoring model, contracts are categorized by collection risk. Our collection models evaluate several factors, including origination characteristics, updated credit bureau data, and payment patterns. These models allow for more focused collection activity on higher-risk accounts and are used to refine our risk-based staffing model to ensure collection resources are aligned with portfolio risk.

Credit quality ratings for our consumer receivables are categorized as follows:

• Pass – current to 60 days past due

• Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status

• Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged-off, as measured using the fair value of the collateral

Non-consumer. For all classes of non-consumer receivables, we extend commercial credit to dealers primarily in the form of approved lines of credit to purchase new Ford and Lincoln vehicles as well as used vehicles. Each commercial lending request is evaluated by taking into consideration the borrower's financial condition and the underlying collateral securing the loan. We use a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider significant in predicting a dealer's ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with Ford Credit and other creditors. A dealer's risk rating does not reflect any guarantees or a dealer owner's net worth.

Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows:

• Group I – strong to superior financial metrics

• Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics

• Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics

• Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible

We suspend credit lines and extend no further funding to dealers classified in Group IV.

We regularly review our model to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the model to incorporate new factors or other information that improves its statistical predictability. In addition, we verify the existence of the assets collateralizing the receivables by physical audits of vehicle inventories, which are performed with increased frequency for higher-risk (i.e., Group III and Group IV) dealers. We perform a credit review of each dealer at least annually and adjust the dealer's risk rating, if necessary.

Performance of non-consumer receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis, as payment for wholesale receivables generally is not required until the dealer has sold the vehicle. Wholesale and dealer loan receivables with the same dealer share the same risk rating.

Other non-consumer receivables consist primarily of purchased receivables from Ford that are excluded from our credit quality reporting since the performance of this group of receivables is generally guaranteed by Ford.

Non-accrual Status

The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the earlier of the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, at bankruptcy status notification, or greater than 120 days past due. Finance receivable accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

The recorded investment of consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $368 million, or 0.8% of our consumer receivables, at March 31, 2012, and $402 million, or 0.9% of our consumer receivables, at December 31, 2011.

The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $18 million, or 0.1% of our non-consumer receivables, at March 31, 2012, and $27 million, or 0.1% of our non-consumer receivables, at December 31, 2011.

Finance receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $14 million of non-bankrupt retail accounts at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and $1 million of dealer loans were greater than 90 days past due and still accruing at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Impaired Receivables

Consumer. Finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically for impairment. Impaired consumer receivables represent accounts that have been re-written or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and are considered to be Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs"), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. The recorded investment of consumer receivables that were impaired at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $394 million, or 0.9% of consumer receivables, and $382 million, or 0.8% of consumer receivables, respectively.

FORD MOTOR CREDIT COMPANY LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 2. FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Non-consumer. Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer loans that have been modified in TDRs. The following factors (not necessarily in order of importance or probability of occurrence) are considered in determining whether a non-consumer receivable is impaired:

• Delinquency in contractual payments of principal or interest

• Deterioration of the borrower's competitive position

• Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower

• Breach of loan covenants or conditions

• Initiation of dealer bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings

• Fraud or criminal conviction

The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, was $70 million, or 0.3% of non-consumer receivables, and $64 million, or 0.2% of non-consumer receivables, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Effective July 1, 2011, we applied the requirements of the new accounting standard related to TDRs to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011.

A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a customer or borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider.

Consumer. Payment extensions are granted to consumers in the normal course of business. Payment extensions result in a short-term deferral of the customer's normal monthly payment and do not constitute TDRs because payment concessions are not granted on the principal amount of the account or the interest rate charged and are not granted to consumers considered to be in financial difficulty.

Consumer receivable contracts may be modified to lower the customer's payment by extending the term of the contract or lowering the interest rate as a remedy to avoid or cure delinquency. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance for re-written contracts. Contracts that have a modified interest rate that is below the market rate are considered to be TDRs.

Consumer receivables modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code are considered to be TDRs. We do not record changes to the recorded investment per the original contract for these TDRs until all payments and requirements of the reorganization plan are met.

The outstanding recorded investment at time of modification for consumer receivables that are considered to be TDRs was $63 million, or 0.1% of our consumer receivables, during the period ended March 31, 2012 and $119 million, or 0.3% of our consumer receivables, during the period ended March 31, 2011. A subsequent default occurs when contracts that were previously modified in TDRs within the last twelve months and subsequently had past due payments that resulted in repossession. The subsequent annualized default rate for consumer contracts was 6.1% of TDRs during the period ended March 31, 2012.

Consumer receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or the fair value of any collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell. For loans where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. The allowance for credit losses related to consumer TDRs was $17 million at March 31, 2012. We did not have any reserves for TDRs at March 31, 2011.

NOTE 2. FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Non-consumer. Within our non-consumer receivables segment, only dealer loans subject to forbearance, moratoriums, extension agreements, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral are classified as TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of dealer loans. There were no dealer loans involved in TDRs during the period ended March 31, 2012. The outstanding recorded investment of dealer loans involved in TDRs was $12 million, or less than 0.1% of our non-consumer receivables, during the period ended March 31, 2012. A subsequent default occurs when receivables that were previously modified in TDRs within the last twelve months and subsequently had past due payments that resulted in foreclosure or charge-off. There were no subsequent defaults for non-consumer contracts for the period ended March 31, 2012. The subsequent annualized default rate was 33.3% of TDRs during the period ended March 31, 2011.

Dealer loans involved in TDRs are assessed for impairment and included in our allowance for credit losses based on either the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell. For loans where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. An impairment charge is recorded as part of the provision to the allowance for credit losses for the amount by which the recorded investment of the receivable exceeds its estimated fair value. The allowance for credit losses related to non-consumer TDRs was $5 million and $8 million at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 3. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES

Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for new and used vehicles with retail customers, daily rental companies, government entities, and fleet customers with terms of 60 months or less.

We receive interest supplements and residual support payments on certain leasing transactions under agreements with Ford and other Ford affiliates. The unamortized balance of unearned interest supplements and residual support payments on operating leases are included in Other liabilities and deferred income on the balance sheet. See Note 8 for additional information.

These net investment in operating leases are available only for payment of the debt and other obligations issued or arising in the securitization transactions; they are not available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors. We hold the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt and other obligations issued or arising in securitization transactions. See Note 5 for additional information.

NOTE 5. TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES

We securitize finance receivables and net investments in operating leases through a variety of programs using amortizing, variable funding and revolving structures. We also sell finance receivables in structured financing transactions. Due to the similarities between securitization and structured financing, we refer to structured financings as securitization transactions. Our securitization programs are targeted to many different institutional investors in both public and private transactions in capital markets worldwide.

We engage in securitization transactions to fund operations and to maintain liquidity. Our securitization transactions are recorded as asset-backed debt and the associated assets are not derecognized and continue to be included in our financial statements.

The finance receivables and net investment in operating leases that have been included in securitization transactions are available only for payment of the debt and other obligations issued or arising in the securitization transactions. They are not available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors. We hold the right to the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt and other obligations issued or arising in the securitization transactions. The debt is the obligation of our consolidated securitization entities and not the obligation of Ford Credit or our other subsidiaries.

Most of these securitization transactions utilize VIEs. See Note 6 for more information concerning VIEs. The following tables show the assets and liabilities related to our securitization transactions that were included in our financial statements (in billions):

Certain of our securitization entities enter into derivative transactions to mitigate interest rate exposure, primarily resulting from fixed-rate assets securing floating-rate debt and, in certain instances, currency exposure resulting from assets in one currency and debt in another currency. In many instances, the counterparty enters into offsetting derivative transactions with us to mitigate their interest rate risk resulting from derivatives with our securitization entities.

NOTE 6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Nearly all of our VIEs are special purpose entities used for our securitizations.

If we determine that we have operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits, we consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary. We have operating power when we have the ability to exercise discretion in the servicing of financial assets, issue additional debt, exercise a unilateral call option, add assets to revolving structures, or control investment decisions.

Assets recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims against our general assets. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on our general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the consolidated VIEs.

VIEs of Which We are the Primary Beneficiary

We use special purpose entities to issue asset-backed securities in transactions to public and private investors, bank conduits, and government-sponsored entities or others who obtain funding from government programs. We have deemed most of these special purpose entities to be VIEs. The asset-backed securities are secured by finance receivables and interests in net investments in operating leases. The assets continue to be consolidated by us. We retain interests in our securitization VIEs, including primarily subordinated securities issued by the VIEs, and rights to cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors.

FORD MOTOR CREDIT COMPANY LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 6. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Continued)

The transactions create and pass along risks to the variable interest holders, depending on the assets securing the debt and the specific terms of the transactions. We aggregate and analyze the following transactions based on the risk profile of the product and the type of funding structure, including:

• Retail – consumer credit risk and pre-payment risk, which are driven by the ability of the customer to pay, as well as the timing of the customer payments

• Wholesale – dealer credit risk and Ford risk, as the receivables owned by the VIEs primarily arise from the financing provided by us to Ford-franchised dealers; therefore, the collections depend upon the sale of Ford vehicles

• Net investment in operating leases – vehicle residual value risk, consumer credit risk, and pre-payment risk

As residual interest holder, we are exposed to the underlying residual and credit risk of the collateral, and are exposed to interest rate risk in some transactions. The amount of risk absorbed by our residual interests generally is represented by and limited to the amount of overcollateralization of the assets securing the debt and any cash reserves.

We have no obligation to repurchase or replace any securitized asset that subsequently becomes delinquent in payment or otherwise is in default, except under standard representations and warranties such as good and marketable title to the assets, or when certain changes are made to the underlying asset contracts. Securitization investors have no recourse to us or our other assets for credit losses on the securitized assets and have no right to require us to repurchase the investments. We generally have no obligation to provide liquidity or contribute cash or additional assets to the VIEs and do not guarantee any asset-backed securities, although we are the co-obligor of the debt of a consolidated VIE up to $250 million for two of our securitization transactions. We may be required to support the performance of certain securitization transactions, however, by increasing cash reserves.

Although not contractually required, we regularly support our wholesale securitization programs by repurchasing receivables of a dealer from the VIEs when the dealer's performance is at risk, which transfers the corresponding risk of loss from the VIE to us. In order to continue to fund the wholesale receivables, we also may contribute additional cash or wholesale receivables if the collateral falls below the required levels. The balances of cash related to these contributions were $125 million and $0 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and ranged from $0 to $125 million during the first quarter of 2012. In addition, while not contractually required, we may purchase the commercial paper issued by our FCAR Owner Trust asset-backed commercial paper program.

VIEs that are exposed to interest rate or currency risk have reduced their risks by entering into derivative transactions. In certain instances, we have entered into offsetting derivative transactions with the VIE to protect the VIE from the risks that are not mitigated through the derivative transactions between the VIE and its external counterparty. In other instances, we have entered into derivative transactions with the counterparty to protect the counterparty from risks absorbed through their derivative transactions with the VIEs.

See Note 5 for information on the financial position and financial performance of our VIEs and Notes 7 and 12 for information on our derivative transactions.

VIEs of Which We are Not the Primary Beneficiary

We have an investment in Forso Nordic AB, a joint venture determined to be a VIE of which we are not the primary beneficiary. The joint venture provides consumer and dealer financing in its local markets and is financed by external debt and additional subordinated debt provided by the joint venture partner. The operating agreement indicates that the power to direct economically significant activities is shared with the joint venture partner, and the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits resides primarily with the joint venture partner. Our investment in the joint venture is accounted for as an equity method investment and is included in Other assets. Our maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with this VIE is limited to our equity investment and amounted to $75 millionand$71 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. To manage these risks, we enter into various derivative contracts:

• Interest rate contracts including swaps, caps and floors that are used to manage the effects of interest rate fluctuations;

• Foreign currency exchange contracts that are used to manage foreign exchange exposure; and

• Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts that are used to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures on foreign denominated debt.

Our derivatives are over-the-counter customized derivative transactions and are not exchange traded. We review our hedging program, derivative positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis.

We have elected to apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are evaluated for effectiveness using regression analysis at the time they are designated and throughout the hedge period. Cash flows and the profit impact associated with designated hedges are reported in the same category as the underlying hedged item.

Some derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting; for others, we elect not to apply hedge accounting. Regardless, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying economic risk. We report net interest settlements and accruals and changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments through Other income, net. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities in our statement of cash flows.

Fair Value Hedges. We use derivatives to reduce the risk of changes in the fair value of liabilities. We have designated certain receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. If the hedge relationship is deemed to be highly effective, we record the changes in the fair value of the hedged debt related to the risk being hedged in Debt with the offset in Other income, net. The change in fair value of the related derivative (excluding accrued interest) also is recorded in Other income, net. Hedge ineffectiveness, recorded in Other income, net, is the difference between the change in fair value of the derivative and the change in the value of the hedged debt that is attributable to the changes in the benchmark interest rate.

Net interest settlements and accruals on fair value hedges are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. We report net interest settlements and accruals in Interest expense.We report foreign currency revaluation on accrued interest in Other income, net. The cash flows associated with fair value hedges are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities in our statement of cash flows.

When a fair value hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated before maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is amortized over its remaining life.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

We report derivative assets and derivative liabilities in Derivative financial instruments in our balance sheet at fair value. We do not net our derivative position by counterparty for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. We do, however, consider our net position for determining fair value.

The notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, therefore, are not a direct measure of our exposure to the financial risks described above. Notional amounts are presented on a gross basis with no netting of offsetting exposure positions. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates.

Counterparty Risk

Use of derivatives exposes us to the risk that a counterparty may default on a derivative contract. We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties that have an investment grade rating. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments in asset positions at March 31, 2012 was $1.2 billion, representing the maximum loss we would recognize at that date if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted. We enter into master agreements with counterparties that generally allow for netting of certain exposures; therefore, the actual loss we would recognize if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted would be significantly lower.

We include an adjustment for non-performance risk in the fair value of derivative instruments. Our adjustment for non-performance risk relative to a measure based on an unadjusted inter-bank deposit rate (e.g., LIBOR) decreased our derivative assets by $23 million and $52 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and decreased our derivative liabilities by $11 million and $7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. See Note 12 for additional information regarding valuation methodologies.

NOTE 9. DEBT

We have a commercial paper program with qualified institutional investors. We also obtain other short-term funding from the issuance of demand notes to retail investors through our floating rate demand notes program. We have certain asset-backed securitization programs that issue short-term debt securities that are sold to institutional investors. Bank borrowings by several of our international affiliates in the ordinary course of business are an additional source of short-term funding.

We obtain long-term debt funding through the issuance of a variety of unsecured and asset-backed debt securities in the U.S. and international capital markets. We also sponsor a number of asset-backed securitization programs that issue long-term debt securities that are sold to institutional investors in the U.S. and international capital markets. Obligations issued in securitizations are payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements.

Interest rates and debt outstanding were as follows (in millions):

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and derivative financial instruments are presented in our financial statements on a recurring basis at fair value, while other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis such as impairments.

Fair Value Measurements

In measuring fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our fair value hierarchy assessment.

• Level 1 – inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable

• Level 2 – inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments and observable inputs such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and yield curves

• Level 3 –inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the instruments

We review the inputs to the fair value measurements to ensure they are appropriately categorized within the fair value hierarchy. Transfers into and transfers out of the hierarchy levels are recognized as if they had taken place at the end of the reporting period.

Valuation Methodologies

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Included in Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, market price, or penalty on withdrawal. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and if it has a remaining time to maturity of 90 days or less from the date of acquisition. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents. Time deposits, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts that meet the above criteria are classified as Cash and cash equivalents, reported at par value, and excluded from the tables below.

Marketable Securities. Investments in securities with a maturity date greater than 90 days at the date of purchase and other securities for which there is a more than insignificant risk of change in value due to interest rate, market price, or penalty on withdrawal are classified as Marketable securities. We generally measure fair value using prices obtained from pricing services. Pricing methodologies and inputs to valuation models used by the pricing services depend on the security type (i.e., asset class). Where possible, fair values are generated using market inputs including quoted prices (the closing price in an exchange market), bid prices (the price at which a buyer stands ready to purchase), and other market information. For fixed income securities that are not actively traded, the pricing services use alternative methods to determine fair value for the securities, including: quotes for similar fixed-income securities, matrix pricing, income approach using benchmark curves, or other factors to determine fair value. In certain cases, when market data are not available, we use broker quotes to determine fair value.

A review is performed on the security prices received from our pricing services, which includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing services to value our securities. We also compare the price of certain securities sold close to the quarter end to the price of the same security at the balance sheet date to ensure the reported fair value is reasonable.

Derivative Financial Instruments. Our derivatives are over-the-counter customized derivative transactions and are not exchange traded. We estimate the fair value of these instruments using industry-standard valuation models such as a discounted cash flow. These models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based expectations for interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the contractual terms of the derivative instruments. The discount rate used is the relevant interbank deposit rate (e.g., LIBOR) plus an adjustment for non-performance risk. The adjustment reflects the full credit default swap ("CDS") spread applied to a net exposure, by counterparty, considering the master netting agreements. We use our counterparty's CDS spread when we are in a net asset position and our own CDS spread when we are in a net liability position.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Our two FUEL securitization transactions have derivative features which include a mandatory exchange to our unsecured notes when our senior unsecured debt receives two investment grade credit ratings among Fitch, Moody's and S&P, and a make-whole provision. We estimated the fair value of these features by comparing the market value of the FUEL notes to the value of a hypothetical debt instrument without these features.

Finance Receivables. The fair value of finance receivables is measured for purposes of disclosure (see Note 2). We measure the fair value of finance receivables based on an income approach using internal valuation models. These models project future cash flows of financing contracts based on scheduled contract payments (including principal and interest). The projected cash flows are discounted to a present value based on assumptions regarding credit losses, pre-payment speed, and the discount rate, which is based on the characteristics of the receivables. Our assumptions regarding pre-payment speed and credit losses are based on historical performance. The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

On a nonrecurring basis, when retail contracts are greater than 120 days past due or deemed to be uncollectible, or if individual dealer loans are probable of foreclosure, we use the fair value of collateral, adjusted for estimated costs to sell, to determine the fair value adjustment to our receivables. The collateral for retail receivables is the vehicle financed, and for dealer loans is real estate or other property.

The fair value measurements for retail receivables are based on the number of contracts multiplied by the loss severity and the probability of default ("POD") percentage, or the outstanding receivable balances multiplied by the average recovery value ("ARV") percentage to determine the fair value adjustment.

The fair value measurements for dealer loans are based on an assessment of the estimated market value of collateral. The assessment is performed by reviewing various appraisals, which include total adjusted appraised value of land and improvements, alternate use appraised value, broker's opinion of value, and purchase offers. The fair value adjustment is determined by comparing the net carrying value of the dealer loan and the estimated market value of collateral.

Debt. We measure debt at fair value for purposes of disclosure (see Note 9) using quoted market prices for our own debt with approximately the same remaining maturities, where possible. Where market prices are not available, we estimate fair value using discounted cash flow models with market-based expectations for interest rates, our own credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt instruments. For certain short-term debt issuances with an original maturity date of one year or less, we assume that book value is a reasonable approximation of debt's fair value. For asset-backed debt issued in securitization transactions, the principal payments are based on projected payments for specific assets securing the underlying debt considering historical pre-payment speeds. The fair value of debt is categorized within Level 2 of the hierarchy.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We conduct our financing operations directly and indirectly through our subsidiaries and affiliates. We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local legal restrictions and market conditions. We divide our business segments based on geographic regions: the North America Segment (includes operations in the United States and Canada) and the International Segment (includes operations in all other countries).

We measure the performance of our segments primarily on an income before income taxes basis, after excluding the impact to earnings from gains and losses related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives primarily related to movements in interest rates. These adjustments are included in Unallocated Risk Management and are excluded in assessing our North America and International segment performance, because our risk management activities are carried out on a centralized basis at the corporate level, with only certain elements allocated to these segments. We also adjust segment performance to re-allocate interest expense between the North America and International segments reflecting debt and equity levels proportionate to their product risk. The North America and International segments are presented on a managed basis. Managed basis includes Finance receivables, net and Net investment in operating leases on our balance sheet, and excludes unearned interest supplements related to finance receivables.

Key operating data for our business segments for the periods ended or at March 31 were as follows (in millions):

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingencies consist primarily of lease commitments, guarantees and indemnifications, and litigation and claims.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees are not material. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the following guarantees and indemnifications were issued and outstanding:

Guarantees of Certain Obligations of Unconsolidated and Other Affiliates. In some cases, we have guaranteed debt and other financial obligations of unconsolidated affiliates, including Ford. Expiration dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by failure of the guaranteed party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from Ford or an affiliate of Ford amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full. The maximum potential payments under these guarantees totaled $111 million and $81 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of these values, $73 million and $71 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were counter-guaranteed by Ford to us.

In addition, FCE has guaranteed obligations of Ford in Romania pursuant to four guarantees with maximum potential payments of $731 million at March 31, 2012. Two of the guarantees have been fully collateralized by $480 million of cash received from Blue Oval Holdings, a Ford U.K. subsidiary. This cash is available for use in FCE's daily operations, and is recorded as Debt. The other guarantees of $251 million are not collateralized by Blue Oval Holdings, but are counter-guaranteed by Ford. These guarantees have an expiration date of August 25, 2012, and they could terminate upon payment and/or cancellation of the obligations by Ford. A payment to the guaranteed party would be triggered by failure of Ford to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee.

Indemnifications. In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealers; other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. We are party to numerous indemnifications which do not limit potential payment; therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of potential future payments that could result from claims made under these indemnities.

Litigation and Claims

Various legal actions, governmental investigations and other proceedings and claims are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include but are not limited to matters arising out of state and federal laws related to tax matters, financial services, employment-related matters, dealers, personal injury matters, investor matters, financial reporting matters and other contractual relationships. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve compensatory, punitive, or treble damage claims in very large amounts, 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. We have established accruals for certain of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph where losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. It is reasonably possible, however, that some of the matters discussed in the foregoing paragraph for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts or a range of amounts that cannot be estimated at March 31, 2012. We do not reasonably expect, based on our analysis, that such matters would have a material effect on future financial statements for a particular year, although such an outcome is possible.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

Ford Motor Credit Company LLC:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of shareholder's interest and of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareholder's interest, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report datedFebruary 21, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

On a pre-tax basis we earned $452 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $713 million a year ago. The following chart shows the decrease in pre-tax operating profit by causal factor:

__________

(a) Total receivables reflect net finance receivables and net investment in operating leases reported on Ford Credit’s balance sheet. Managed receivables equal total receivables, excluding unearned interest supplements of $(2) billion at March 31, 2011 and $(1) billion at March 31, 2012.

The decline reflects fewer lease terminations, which resulted in fewer vehicles sold at a gain, lower financing margin, and lower credit loss reserve reductions.

Results of our operations by business segment and unallocated risk management for the quarters ending March 31 are shown below (in millions). For additional information, see Note 13 of our Notes to the Financial Statements.

	First Quarter
	2012			2011			2012 Over/(Under) 2011
Income/(Loss) before income taxes
North America Segment	$	404		$	651		$	(247	)
International Segment	91			122			(31		)
Unallocated risk management	(43		)	(60		)	17
Income/(Loss) before income taxes	$	452		$	713		$	(261	)

The decrease in North America Segment pre-tax earnings is more than explained by fewer lease terminations, which resulted in fewer vehicles sold at a gain, lower financing margin, and lower credit loss reserve reductions.

The decrease in International Segment pre-tax results is primarily explained by unfavorable lease residual performance.

Contract Placement Volume and Financing Share

Total worldwide consumer financing contract placement volumes for new and used vehicles for the quarters ending March 31 were as follows (in thousands):

	First Quarter
	2012	2011
North America Segment
United States	236	199
Canada	23	26
Total North America Segment	259	225
International Segment
Europe	97	104
Other international	13	10
Total International Segment	110	114
Total contract placement volume	369	339

Shown below are our financingshares of new vehicles sold by dealers in the United States and new vehicles sold by dealers in Europe for the quarters ending March 31.  Also shown below are our wholesale financing shares of new vehicles acquired by dealers in the United States, excluding fleet, and of new vehicles acquired by dealers in Europe for the quarters ending March 31:

	First Quarter
	2012		2011
United States
Financing share - Ford and Lincoln
Retail installment and lease	39	%	36	%
Wholesale	79		81
Europe
Financing share - Ford
Retail installment and lease	27	%	27	%
Wholesale	98		99

North America Segment

The increase in total contract placement volumes primarily reflected higher financing share and higher sales of new vehicles.  Higher financing share was primarily explained by changes in Ford's marketing programs that favored us.

International Segment

In the first quarter of 2012, our total contract placement volumes were down slightly from a year ago, primarily reflecting lower industry volume in Europe, offset partially by growth in China.

Finance Receivables and Operating Leases

Our receivables, including finance receivables and operating leases, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows (in billions):

Memo:
Total managed receivables (c)	$	86.1		$	84.6

__________

(a) At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, includes consumer receivables before allowance for credit losses of $34.7 billion and $36.0 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables before allowance for credit losses of $20.6 billion and $19.8 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, includes net investment in operating leases before allowance for credit losses of $5.7 billion and $6.4 billion, respectively, that have been included in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt and other obligations issued or arising in the securitization transactions; they are not available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors. We hold the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt and other obligations issued or arising in each of these securitization transactions. For additional information on our securitization transactions, refer to the "Securitization Transactions" and "On-Balance Sheet Arrangements" sections of Item 7 of Part II of our 10-K Report and Note 6 of our Notes to the Financial Statements for the period ended December 31, 2011.

(b) Includes allowance for credit losses of $479 million and $534 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

(c) Excludes unearned interest supplements related to finance receivables.

Receivables at March 31, 2012, increased from year-end 2011, primarily due to higher Ford and Lincoln receivables and changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by the discontinuation of financing for Jaguar, Land Rover, Mazda, Volvo, and Mercury.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the possibility of loss from a customer's or dealer's failure to make payments according to contract terms. Credit risk has a significant impact on our business. We actively manage the credit risk of our consumer (retail installment and lease) and non-consumer (wholesale and dealer loan) segments to balance our level of risk and return. The allowance for credit losses (also referred to as the credit loss reserve) is our estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in receivables and leases at the date of our balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses is estimated using a combination of models and management judgment, and is based on such factors as portfolio quality, historical loss performance, and receivable levels. Consistent with our normal practices and policies, we assess the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses quarterly and regularly evaluate the assumptions and models used in establishing the allowance. A description of our allowance setting process is provided in the "Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses" section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2011 10-K Report.

Most of our charge-offs are related to retail installment sale and lease contracts. Charge-offs result from the number of vehicle repossessions, the unpaid balance outstanding at the time of repossession, the auction price of repossessed vehicles, and other charge-offs. We also incur credit losses on our wholesale loans, but default rates for these receivables historically have been substantially lower than those for retail installment sale and lease contracts. For additional information on severity, refer to the "Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses" section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2011 10-K Report.

In purchasing retail finance and lease contracts, we use a proprietary scoring system that classifies contracts using several factors, such as credit bureau information, credit bureau scores (e.g., FICO score), customer characteristics, and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, between 5% - 6% of the outstanding U.S. retail finance and lease contracts in our portfolio were classified by us as high risk at contract inception. For additional information on the quality of our receivables, see Note2of our Notes to the Financial Statements.

37

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Credit Loss Metrics

Worldwide

The following charts show quarterly trends of charge-offs (credit losses, net of recoveries), loss-to-receivables ratios (charge-offs on an annualized basis divided by the average amount of receivables outstanding for the period, excluding the reserve and unearned interest supplements related to finance receivables), credit loss reserve, and our credit loss reserve as a percentage of end-of-period ("EOP") receivables:

Our first quarter credit losses continued to be at historically low levels.

Charge-offs in the first quarter were $35 million, down $20 million from the same period a year ago reflecting lower repossessions in the United States. Charge-offs were down $17 million from the fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting the same factor just mentioned.

The credit loss reserve was $479 million, down $265 million from a year ago and down $55 million from the fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting the decrease in charge-offs.

38

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

U.S. Ford and Lincoln Brand Retail Installment and Operating Lease

The following charts show the credit loss metrics for our U.S. Ford and Lincoln brand retail installment sale and operating lease portfolio which comprised approximately 70% of our worldwide consumer portfolio at March 31, 2012:

Over-60-day delinquencies were 0.12% in the first quarter, down four basis points from the same period a year ago.

Repossessions in the first quarter were 9,000 units or 1.54% of average accounts outstanding.

Severity of $6,700 in the first quarter was $200 higher than the same period a year ago, primarily reflecting a change to include certain repossession expenses in charge-offs. Excluding this change, severity was down quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, primarily driven by improvements in used car auction values.

As discussed previously, charge-offs and LTRs have declined on a year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter basis due to lower repossessions.

39

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Residual Risk

We are exposed to residual risk on operating leases and similar balloon payment products where the customer may return the financed vehicle to us. Residual risk is the possibility that the amount we obtain from returned vehicles will be less than our estimate of the expected residual value for the vehicle. We estimate the expected residual value by evaluating recent auction values, return volumes for our leased vehicles, industry-wide used vehicle prices, marketing incentive plans, and vehicle quality data.

For additional information on our residual risk on operating leases, refer to the "Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases" section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2011 10-K Report.

U.S.Ford and Lincoln Brand Operating Lease Experience

The following charts show return volumes and auction values at constant first quarter 2012 vehicle mix for vehicles returned in the respective periods. Our U.S. Ford and Lincoln operating lease portfolio accounted for about 85% of our total investment in operating leases at March 31, 2012.

Lease return volumes in the first quarter were 37% lower than the same period last year, primarily reflecting the lower lease placements in 2009. The first quarter lease return rate was 66%, up four percentage points compared with the same period last year and up eight percentage points compared with the fourth quarter of 2011. The increase reflects a higher mix of 24-month contracts, which typically have higher return rates than longer term contracts.

In the first quarter, our strong auction values for 36-month vehicles continued, up $75 per unit from the same period last year and up $250 from the fourth quarter.

Our worldwide net investment in operating leases was $11.9 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2012, up from $11.1 billion at year end 2011.

Funding

Overview

Our funding strategy remains focused on diversification. We continue to develop new products and platforms, and we plan to continue accessing a variety of markets, channels and investors. In the first quarter of 2012, we launched an unsecured commercial paper program in the United States and at March 31, 2012 we had over $200 million outstanding. The program is unrated and is not supported by bank lines. Our liquidity remains strong, and we will maintain cash balances and committed capacity that meet our business and funding requirements in all global market conditions.

We are on track to achieve our 2012 funding plan. Through May 3, 2012, we completed $10 billion of funding in the public markets, including over $3 billion of unsecured issuance and about $200 million issued under the Ford Credit U.S. Retail Notes program.

We ended the quarter with about $18 billion of liquidity and about $33 billion of committed capacity, compared with about $17 billion of liquidity and $33 billion of committed capacity at December 31, 2011. We renewed about $2 billion of committed capacity in the first quarter. For additional information on our committed capacity programs, refer to the "Liquidity" section.

Funding Portfolio

The following chart shows the trends in funding for our managed receivables:

__________

(a) The Ford Interest Advantage program consists of our floating rate demand notes. 

(b) Obligations issued in securitization transactions that are payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements.

(c) Includes about $200 million of unsecured commercial paper in the U.S. in First Quarter 2012.

(d) Excludes marketable securities related to insurance activities.

At the end of the first quarter of 2012, managed receivables were $86 billion. We ended the quarter with $12.3 billion in cash, and securitized funding was 54% of managed receivables.

We are projecting 2012 year-end managed receivables in the range of $85 billion to $95 billion and securitized funding is expected to represent about 49% to 54% of total managed receivables. The lower end of this range reflects in part Ford Upgrade Exchange Linked ("FUEL") notes converting to unsecured debt. It is our expectation that securitized funding as a percent of managed receivables will decline going forward.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Public Term Funding Plan

The following table shows our planned issuances for full-year 2012, and our public term funding issuances through May 3, 2012, and full-years 2011 and 2010 (in billions):

	Term Funding Plan
	2012
	Full-Year Forecast	Through May 3,		Full-Year 2011		Full-Year 2010
Unsecured	$ 8-11	$	3	$	8	$	6
Securitizations (a)	10-12	7		11		11
Total	$ 18-23	$	10	$	19	$	17

__________

(a) Includes Rule 144A offerings such as FUEL notes issuance in 2011.

Through May 3, 2012, we completed $10 billion of public term funding in the United States and Europe, including over $3 billion of unsecured debt. This reflects about half of our public term funding needs for the year.

For 2012, we project full-year public term funding in the range of $18 billion to $23 billion, consisting of $8 billion to $11 billion of unsecured debt and $10 billion to $12 billion of public securitizations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Liquidity

We define gross liquidity as cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) and capacity (which includes our credit facilities, FCAR Owner Trust retail securitization program ("FCAR"), and asset-backed funding facilities), less utilization of liquidity.  Utilization of liquidity is the amount funded under our liquidity sources, and also includes the cash and cash equivalents required to support securitization transactions. Securitization cash is cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors (for example, a reserve fund).  Liquidity available for use is defined as gross liquidity less asset-backed capacity in excess of eligible receivables. 

The following table illustrates our liquidity programs and utilization (in billions):

__________

(a) FCAR and conduits subject to availability of sufficient assets and ability to obtain derivatives to manage interest rate risk; FCAR commercial paper must be supported by bank lines equal to at least 100% of the principal amount; conduits include committed securitization programs.

(b) Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excludes marketable securities related to insurance activities).

(c) Securitization cash is to be used only to support on-balance sheet securitization transactions.

At March 31, 2012 we had $44.8 billion of committed capacity and cash diversified across a variety of markets and platforms. During the quarter, the increase to conduit and bank ABS capacity largely offset the reduction in FCAR bank lines. The utilization of our liquidity totaled $22.3 billion at quarter-end. The reduction in utilization during the quarter was primarily attributable to higher public funding.

We ended the quarter with gross liquidity of $22.5 billion, which includes about $4.4 billion in capacity in excess of eligible receivables, providing a funding source for future originations and flexibility to transfer capacity among markets and asset classes where most needed. Liquidity available for use remained strong at $18.1 billion at the end of the quarter, compared with $17.1 billion at year end.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities.  At March 31, 2012, our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) totaled $12.3 billion, compared with $12.1 billion at year-end 2011.  In the normal course of our funding activities, we may generate more proceeds than are required for our immediate funding needs.  These excess amounts are maintained primarily as highly liquid investments, which provide liquidity for our short-term funding needs and give us flexibility in the use of our other funding programs.  Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are held primarily in highly liquid investments, which provide for anticipated and unanticipated cash needs.  Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) primarily include U.S. Department of Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions and non-U.S. central banks, corporate investment-grade securities, commercial paper rated A-1/P-1 or higher, debt obligations of a select group of non-U.S. governments,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

non-U.S. government agencies, supranational institutions and money market funds that carry the highest possible ratings.  We currently do not hold cash, cash equivalents, or marketable securities consisting of investments in government obligations of Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, or Spain, nor did we hold any at March 31, 2012.

The average maturity of these investments ranges from 90 days to up to one year and is adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs.  We monitor our cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.  Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities include amounts to be used only to support our securitization transactions of $4.1 billion and $3.7 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Our substantial liquidity and cash balance have provided the opportunity to selectively call and repurchase our unsecured debt on the open market. In the first quarter of 2012, we repurchased about $50 million of our unsecured debt.

Committed Liquidity Programs. We and our subsidiaries, including FCE, have entered into agreements with a number of bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduits ("conduits") and other financial institutions. Such counterparties are contractually committed, at our option, to purchase from us eligible retail or wholesale assets or to purchase or make advances under asset-backed securities backed by retail, lease, or wholesale assets for proceeds of up to $24.5 billion at March 31, 2012, ($12.9 billion retail, $8.2 billion wholesale, and $3.4 billion lease assets) of which about $7.2 billion are commitments to FCE. These committed liquidity programs have varying maturity dates, with $22.4 billion having maturities within the next twelve months (of which $6.4 billion relates to FCE commitments), and the remaining balance having maturities between May 2013 and August 2014. We plan to achieve capacity renewals to protect our global funding needs, optimize capacity utilization and maintain sufficient liquidity.

Our ability to obtain funding under these programs is subject to having a sufficient amount of assets eligible for these programs as well as our ability to obtain interest rate hedging arrangements for certain securitization transactions. Our capacity in excess of eligible receivables protects us against the risk of lower than planned renewal rates. At March 31, 2012, $11.3 billion of these commitments were in use. These programs are free of material adverse change clauses, restrictive financial covenants (for example, debt-to-equity limitations and minimum net worth requirements), and generally, credit rating triggers that could limit our ability to obtain funding. However, the unused portion of these commitments may be terminated if the performance of the underlying assets deteriorates beyond specified levels. Based on our experience and knowledge as servicer of the related assets, we do not expect any of these programs to be terminated due to such events.

Credit Facilities. At March 31, 2012, we and our majority-owned subsidiaries had $736 million of contractually-committed unsecured credit facilities with financial institutions, including FCE's £440 million (equivalent to $705 million at March 31, 2012) credit facility (the "FCE Credit Agreement") which matures in 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2011, FCE drew £125 million (equivalent to about $200 million) as part of its plans for periodic usage of the facility, and at March 31, 2012, FCE had £315 million (equivalent to about $505 million) available for use. The FCE Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including an obligation for FCE to maintain its ratio of regulatory capital to risk weighted assets at no less than the applicable regulatory minimum, and for the support agreement between FCE and us to remain in full force and effect (and enforced by FCE to ensure that its net worth is maintained at no less than $500 million). In addition to customary payment, representation, bankruptcy, and judgment defaults, the FCE Credit Agreement contains cross-payment and cross-acceleration defaults with respect to other debt. At March 31, 2012, FCE had £55 million (equivalent to about $88 million) of commitments from financial institutions in Italy and Spain. There were no commitments from financial institutions in Greece, Ireland or Portugal.

In addition, at March 31, 2012, we had about $7.3 billion of contractually-committed liquidity facilities provided by banks to support our FCAR program, of which $4.2 billion expire in 2012 and $3.1 billion expire in 2014. Utilization of these facilities is subject to conditions specific to the FCAR program and our having a sufficient amount of eligible retail assets for securitization. The FCAR program must be supported by liquidity facilities equal to at least 100% of its outstanding balance. At March 31, 2012, $7.3 billion of FCAR's bank liquidity facilities were available to support FCAR's asset-backed commercial paper, subordinated debt, or FCAR's purchase of our asset-backed securities. At March 31, 2012, the outstanding commercial paper balance for the FCAR program was $6.7 billion.

Leverage

We use leverage, or the debt-to-equity ratio, to make various business decisions, including evaluating and establishing pricing for retail, wholesale, and lease financing, and assessing our capital structure. We refer to our shareholder's interest as equity.

The following table shows the calculation of our financial statement leverage (in billions, except for ratios):

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Total debt	$	85.2	$	84.7
Equity	9.2		8.9
Financial statement leverage (to 1)	9.3		9.5

The following table shows the calculation of our managed leverage (in billions, except for ratios):

	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011
Total debt	$	85.2		$	84.7
Adjustments for cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (a)	(12.3		)	(12.1		)
Adjustments for derivative accounting (b)	(0.6		)	(0.7		)
Total adjusted debt	$	72.3		$	71.9
Equity	$	9.2		$	8.9
Adjustments for derivative accounting (b)	(0.3		)	(0.2		)
Total adjusted equity	$	8.9		$	8.7
Managed leverage (to 1) (c)	8.1			8.3

__________

(a) Excludes marketable securities related to insurance activities.

(b) Primarily related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives due to movements in interest rates.  Adjustments to debt are related to designated fair value hedges and adjustments to equity are related to retained earnings.

(c) Equals total adjusted debt over total adjusted equity.

We plan our managed leverage by considering prevailing market conditions and the risk characteristics of our business. At March 31, 2012, our managed leverage was 8.1 to 1 compared with 8.3 to 1 at December 31, 2011, significantly below the threshold of 11.5 to 1 set forth in the Amended and Restated Support Agreement with Ford. In the first quarter of 2012, we paid $200 million in distributions to our parent, Ford Holdings LLC. For additional information on our planned distributions, refer to the "Outlook" section.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

For information on accounting standards issued but not yet adopted, see Note 1 of our Notes to the Financial Statements.

Outlook

Consistent with prior guidance, we expect to be solidly profitable for full-year 2012, but at a lower level than 2011, primarily reflecting fewer lease terminations, which result in fewer vehicles sold at a gain, lower financing margin, and lower credit loss reserve reductions. We project full year pre-tax profits of about $1.5 billion.

At year-end 2012, we anticipate managed receivables to be in the range of $85 billion to $95 billion.

In addition, we expect to pay total distributions in 2012 of between$500 million and $1 billion. We will continue to assess future distributions based on our available liquidity and managed leverage objectives.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

General:

• Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;

• Adverse effects on Ford's or our operations resulting from economic, geopolitical, or other events;

• Failure of financial institutions to fulfill commitments under committed credit and liquidity facilities;

Other Financial Information

With respect to the unaudited financial information of Ford Motor Credit Company LLC as of March 31, 2012, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report dated February 21, 2012 appearing herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In our 2011 10-K Report, we discuss in greater detail our market risk, counter-party risk, credit risk, residual risk, liquidity risk, and operating risk.

To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of our pre-tax cash flow to changes in interest rates, we use interest rate scenarios that assume a hypothetical, instantaneous increase or decrease of one percentage point in all interest rates across all maturities (a "parallel shift"), as well as a base case that assumes that all interest rates remain constant at existing levels. These interest rate scenarios are purely hypothetical and do not represent our view of future interest rate movements. The differences in pre-tax cash flow between these scenarios and the base case over a twelve-month period represent an estimate of the sensitivity of our pre-tax cash flow. Under this model, we estimate that at March 31, 2012, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increase our pre-tax cash flow by $78 million over the next twelve months, compared with an increase of $60 million at December 31, 2011. The sensitivity analysis presented above assumes a one percentage point rate change to the yield curve that is both instantaneous and parallel. In reality, interest rate changes are rarely instantaneous or parallel and rates could move more or less than the one percentage point assumed in our analysis. As a result, the actual impact to pre-tax cash flow could be higher or lower than the results detailed above.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Michael E. Bannister, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and Michael L. Seneski, our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Treasurer, have performed an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of March 31, 2012, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
