NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2009-17”). ASU 2009-17 eliminated the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires a qualitative analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This standard also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. ASU 2009-17 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-17 and performed a qualitative analysis of all its joint ventures, including its GIMA joint venture, to determine whether it had a controlling financial interest in such ventures. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that its GIMA joint venture should no longer be consolidated into the Company’s results of operations or financial position as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in GIMA based on the shared powers of both joint venture partners to direct the activities that most significantly impact GIMA’s financial performance (Note 2).

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”). ASU 2009-16 eliminated the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”), changed the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and added requirements for additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-16, and, as a result of the adoption, the Company recognized approximately $122.4 million of accounts receivable sold through its European securitization facilities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2010, with a corresponding liability equivalent to the funded balance of the facility (Note 13).

2. DECONSOLIDATION OF JOINT VENTURE

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-17 and performed a qualitative analysis of all its joint ventures, including its GIMA joint venture, to determine whether it had a controlling financial interest in such ventures. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that its GIMA joint venture should no longer be consolidated into the Company’s results of operations or financial position as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in GIMA based on the shared powers of both joint venture partners to direct the activities that most significantly impact GIMA’s financial performance. GIMA is a joint venture between AGCO and Claas Tractor SAS to cooperate in the field of purchasing, design and manufacturing of components for agricultural tractors. Each party has a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture and has an investment of approximately €4.2 million in the joint venture. Both parties purchase all of the production output of the joint venture. The deconsolidation of GIMA resulted in a retroactive reduction to “Noncontrolling interests” within equity and an increase to “Investments in affiliates” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009 of approximately $6.4 million. The deconsolidation also resulted in a retroactive reduction to the Company’s “Net sales” and “Income from Operations” within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and a reclassification of amounts previously reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” to “Equity in net earnings of affiliates,” but otherwise had no net impact to the Company’s consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the deconsolidation resulted in a reduction to the Company’s “Total assets” and “Total liabilities” within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but had no net impact to the Company’s “Total stockholders’ equity” other than the reduction previously mentioned. The Company retroactively restated prior periods and recorded the following adjustments (in millions):


Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet	As Previously
as of December 31, 2009	Reported		Adjustment			As adjusted
Total assets	$	5,062.2	$	(63.3	)	$	4,998.9

3. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER INFREQUENT EXPENSES

During 2009 and 2010, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities located in France, Finland, Germany and the United States, as well as at various administrative offices located in the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States. During 2009, the Company recorded approximately $12.8 million of severance and other related costs associated with such actions and paid approximately $5.0 million of such costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded additional restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $0.3 million associated with such actions, which were primarily related to severance, retention and other related costs incurred in Spain, Finland and France. The Company paid approximately $4.9 million of severance and other related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 associated with such actions and terminated 592 of the 726 employees expected to be terminated. A majority of the remaining $3.2 million of severance and other related costs accrued as of June 30, 2010 are expected to be paid during 2010.

In November 2009, the Company announced the closure of its assembly operations located in Randers, Denmark. The Company ceased operations in July 2010 and expects to complete the transfer of the assembly operations to its harvesting equipment manufacturing joint venture, Laverda, located in Breganze, Italy in August 2010. The Company recorded approximately $0.4 million of severance and other related costs in 2009 associated with the facility closure. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded additional restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $1.8 million associated with the closure, primarily related to employee retention payments, which are being accrued over the term of the retention period. The Company paid approximately $0.7 million of severance and other related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and terminated 12 of the 90 employees expected to be terminated. The remaining $1.5 million of severance, retention and other related costs accrued as of June 30, 2010 are expected to be paid during 2010.

4. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company recorded stock compensation expense as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Cost of goods sold	$	0.2	$	—	$	0.3	$	0.5
Selling, general and administrative expenses		3.3		2.3		5.2		8.2

Total stock compensation expense	$	3.5	$	2.3	$	5.5	$	8.7

Stock Incentive Plans

Under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), up to 5.0 million shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. The 2006 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, to make grants of performance shares, stock appreciation rights, stock options and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.

Employee Plans

The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $33.65 and $21.45, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued
(unaudited)

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company granted 748,500 awards for the three-year performance period commencing in 2010 and ending in 2012, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the 2006 Plan is amortized ratably over the vesting or performance period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. Performance award transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum target levels of performance under the plan:


Shares awarded but not earned at January 1	1,742,868
Shares awarded	748,500
Shares forfeited or unearned	(47,508	)
Shares earned	—

Shares awarded but not earned at June 30	2,443,860

As of June 30, 2010, the total compensation cost related to unearned performance awards not yet recognized, assuming the Company’s current projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned, was approximately $21.4 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, associated with stock settled stock appreciation rights (“SSAR”) awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, associated with SSAR awards. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company utilized the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of granted SSARs during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as afforded by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, “Share-Based Payment (SAB Topic 14),” and SAB No. 110, “Share-Based Payment (SAB Topic 14.D.2).” The expected term used to value a grant under the simplified method is the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term of the SSAR. As the Company has only been granting SSARs since April 2006, it does not believe it has sufficient relevant experience regarding employee exercise behavior. The weighted average grant-date fair value of SSARs granted and the weighted average assumptions under the Black-Scholes option model were as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010			2009
Weighted average grant date fair value	$	14.51		$	7.39

Weighted average assumptions under Black-Scholes option model:
Expected life of awards (years)		5.5			5.5
Risk-free interest rate		2.5	%		1.6	%
Expected volatility		48.5	%		45.2	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—

SSAR transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows:


SSARs outstanding at January 1		708,041
SSARs granted		180,000
SSARs exercised		(4,500	)
SSARs canceled or forfeited		(16,953	)

SSARs outstanding at June 30		866,588


SSAR price ranges per share:

Canceled or forfeited		21.45-56.98

Weighted average SSAR exercise prices per share:
Granted	$	33.65
Exercised		26.03
Canceled or forfeited		31.42
Outstanding at June 30		31.64

At June 30, 2010, the weighted average remaining contractual life of SSARs outstanding was approximately five years. As of June 30, 2010, the total compensation cost related to unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $5.0 million and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.

The following table sets forth the exercise price range, number of shares, weighted average exercise price and remaining contractual lives by groups of similar price:


	SSARs Outstanding						SSARs Exercisable
			Weighted Average		Weighted		Exercisable		Weighted
			Remaining		Average		as of		Average
	Number of		Contractual Life		Exercise		June 30,		Exercise
Range of Exercise Prices	Shares		(Years)		Price		2010		Price
$21.45 – $24.61		406,969		4.7	$	22.17		193,750	$	22.93
$26.00 – $37.38		358,344		5.1	$	35.26		122,204	$	37.21
$51.82 – $66.20		101,275		4.6	$	56.92		49,200	$	57.00

		866,588						365,154	$	32.30

The total fair value of SSARs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.9 million. There were 501,434 SSARs that were not vested as of June 30, 2010. The total intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable SSARs as of June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Director Restricted Stock Grants

The 2006 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grants of the Company’s common stock to all non-employee directors. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years, but are not subject to forfeiture. In the event a director departs from the Company’s Board of Directors, the non-transferability period expires immediately. The plan allows each director to have the option of forfeiting a portion of the shares awarded in lieu of a cash payment contributed to the participant’s tax withholding to satisfy the statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes that would be payable at the time of grant. The 2010 grant was made on April 22, 2010 and equated to 23,380 shares of common stock, of which 17,303 shares of common stock were issued, after shares were withheld for taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010 associated with these grants.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued
(unaudited)

As of June 30, 2010, of the 5.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 0.3 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.

Stock Option Plan

There have been no grants under the Company’s Option Plan since 2002, and the Company does not intend to make any grants under the Option Plan in the future. All of the Company’s outstanding stock options are fully vested. Stock option transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were as follows:

The Company amortizes certain acquired intangible assets primarily on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to 30 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company reduced goodwill by approximately $4.2 million related to the realization of tax benefits associated with excess tax basis deductible goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Valtra in Finland.

The Company’s $201.3 million of 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 31, 2033, issued in June 2005, provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the new notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 10, 2010. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 1³/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price of $22.36 per share, subject to adjustment. This reflects an initial conversion rate for the notes of 44.7193 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

The Company’s $201.3 million of 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 15, 2036, issued in December 2006, provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 1¹/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price of $40.73 per share, subject to adjustment. This reflects an initial conversion rate for the notes of 24.5525 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the carrying amount of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount and the net carrying amount of the Company’s 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and its 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (in millions):

Net carrying amount	$	171.4		$	167.5

The following table sets forth the interest expense recognized relating to both the contractual interest coupon and the amortization of the discount on the liability component for the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
1³/4% Convertible senior subordinated notes:
Interest expense	$	3.0	$	2.8	$	5.9	$	5.6


1¹/4% Convertible senior subordinated notes:
Interest expense	$	2.5	$	2.5	$	5.1	$	4.9

The effective interest rate on the liability component for the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 6.1% for both series of notes. The unamortized discount for the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will be amortized through December 2010 and December 2013, respectively, as these are the earliest dates the notes holders can require the Company to repurchase the notes.

Holders of the Company’s 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and its 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes may convert the notes, if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price of $22.36 per share for the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and $40.73 per share for the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2010, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending June 30, 2010, and, therefore, the Company classified the notes as a current liability. In accordance with ASU No. 2009-04, “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments,” the Company also classified the equity component of the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “temporary equity.” The amount classified as “temporary equity” was measured as the excess of (i) the amount of cash that would be required to be paid upon conversion over (ii) the current carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Future classification of both series of notes between current and long-term debt and classification of the equity component of both notes as “temporary equity” is dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s

common stock during future quarters. The Company believes it is unlikely the holders of the notes would convert the notes under the provisions of the indenture agreement, thereby requiring the Company to repay the principal portion in cash. In the event the notes were converted, the Company believes it could repay the notes with available cash on hand, funds from the Company’s $300.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility or a combination of these sources.

At June 30, 2010, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 6⁷/8% senior subordinated notes, 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $247.4 million, $266.2 million and $195.0 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $244.9 million, $197.1 million and $171.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 6⁷/8% senior subordinated notes, 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $272.2 million, $300.8 million and $211.3 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $286.5 million, $193.0 million and $167.5 million, respectively.

The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, outstanding letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility totaled $9.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively.

of warranty reserves were included in “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Approximately $21.0 million and $19.8 million of warranty reserves were included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

9. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share assumes exercise of outstanding stock options, vesting of performance share awards, vesting of restricted stock and the appreciation of the excess conversion value of the contingently convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value of the convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Basic net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	62.9	$	57.4	$	73.0	$	91.1

There were SSARs to purchase approximately 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and approximately 0.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they had an antidilutive impact.

10. INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $21.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $4.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of current accrued taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The tax years 2003 through 2009 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign taxing jurisdictions.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound.

The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Continued

The foreign currency contracts are primarily forward and options contracts. These contracts’ fair value measurements fall within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy under ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” Level 2 fair value measurements are generally based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a valuation model that utilizes spot and forward exchange rates, interest rates and currency pair volatility.

The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policy allows for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policy prohibits the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

During 2010 and 2009, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. The amount of the loss recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $2.3 million and $13.5 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2010 range in maturity through December 2010.

The following table summarizes activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives held by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2010 (in millions):


	Before-Tax			Income			After-Tax
	Amount			Tax			Amount

Accumulated derivative net losses as of June 30, 2010	$	(7.5	)	$	—		$	(7.5	)

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $172.1 million that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2010 and 2009, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $822.0 million that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as

non-designated derivative instruments, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in other expense, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $33.6 million and $44.2 million, respectively, under the caption of other expense, net related to these contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $40.6 million and $97.6 million, respectively, related to these forward contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Counterparty Risk

The Company monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties regularly. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company would cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.

13. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIZATION FACILITIES

At June 30, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable securitization facilities in Europe totaling approximately €140.0 million (or approximately $171.5 million). As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facilities had outstanding funding of approximately €99.9 million (or approximately $122.4 million). The facility expires in October 2011, and is subject to annual renewal. Wholesale accounts receivable are sold on a revolving basis to commercial paper conduits under the facility through a wholly-owned QSPE in the United Kingdom. As previously discussed in Note 1, on January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17, and, as a result of the adoption, the Company recognized approximately $122.4 million of accounts receivable sold through its European securitization facilities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2010, with a corresponding liability equivalent to the funded balance of the facility. The accrued interest owed to the commercial paper conduits associated with outstanding funding under the European facilities was approximately $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010. Losses on sales of receivables under the European securitization facilities were reflected within “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On August 2, 2010, the Company amended its European securitization facility to decrease the size of the facility by €30.0 million (or approximately $36.7 million).

At June 30, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of substantially all of its wholesale interest-bearing and non-interest bearing receivables in North America to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., its 49% owned U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements in accordance with ASU 2009-16 and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

As of June 30, 2010, net cash received from receivables sold under the U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $404.5 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company paid AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. both a servicing fee related to the servicing of the sold receivables and a subsidized interest payment. These fees were reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other (income) expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The subsidized interest payment was calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the facilities.

The Company’s AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $162.7 million and $176.9 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company reviewed its accounting for these arrangements in accordance with ASU 2009-16 and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables pursuant to the guidelines of ASU 2009-16 and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” and “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $4.3 million and $7.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables primarily from the Company’s European securitization facilities and former U.S. and Canadian securitization facilities were approximately $5.2 million and $10.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were determined by calculating the estimated present value of receivables sold compared to their carrying amount. The present value was based on historical collection experience and a discount rate representing the spread over LIBOR as prescribed under the terms of the agreements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company made approximately $15.7 million of contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for 2010 to its defined benefit pension plans will aggregate approximately $30.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company made approximately $0.6 million of contributions to its U.S.-based postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The Company currently estimates that it will make approximately $1.8 million of contributions to its U.S.-based postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans during 2010.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Acts”) were signed into law in the United States. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the Acts to determine their potential impact to the Company’s health care benefit costs. The impact of the Acts to the Company’s postretirement health care benefit plans and related obligations is not currently expected to be material. The Acts contain a provision that repeals the tax deductibility and benefit for the Medicare Part D subsidy available to companies that provide qualifying prescription drug coverage to retirees. This provision had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position as the Company had previously provided a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets associated with its U.S.-based postretirement benefit obligations.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company modified its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal management and organizational structure over the past year, which changed its reportable segments from North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific to North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Rest of World. The Rest of World reportable segment includes the regions of Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the Europe/Africa/ Middle East segment no longer includes certain markets in Eastern Europe. Effective January 1, 2010, these reportable segments are reflective of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and assets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows (in millions):

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture, AGCO Finance LLC, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with AGCO Finance LLC which limits the Company’s purchase obligations under this arrangement to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. The Company believes that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.

At June 30, 2010, the Company guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $100.7 million, primarily related to dealer and end user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2015. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees have historically been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would be able to recover any amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment would be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid.

Other

The Company sells substantially all of its wholesale accounts receivable in North America to the Company’s U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables pursuant to the guidelines of ASU 2009-16 and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Legal Claims and Other Matters

As a result of Brazilian tax legislation impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $8.3 million and $11.6 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT taxes receivable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to collect the amounts outstanding.

On June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action in a federal court in New York, Case No. 08 CIV 59617, naming as defendants the Company’s French subsidiary and two of its other foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the “Program”). Ninety-one other entities or companies also were named as defendants in the civil action due to their participation in the Program. The complaint purports to assert claims against each of the defendants seeking damages in an unspecified amount. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages. In addition, the French government also is investigating the Company’s French subsidiary in connection with its participation in the Program.

In August 2008, as part of a routine audit, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through June 30, 2010, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 90.6 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $50.3 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be greater because of interest, penalties and future deductions. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.

The Company is a party to various other legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial condition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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

GENERAL

Our operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the agricultural industry. Sales of our equipment have been and are expected to continue to be affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and general economic conditions. We record sales when we sell equipment and replacement parts to our independent dealers, distributors or other customers. To the extent possible, we attempt to sell products to our dealers and distributors on a level basis throughout the year to reduce the effect of seasonal demands on manufacturing operations and to minimize our investment in inventory. Retail sales by dealers to farmers are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, our net sales historically have been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we generated net income of $62.9 million, or $0.66 per share, compared to net income of $57.4 million, or $0.61 per share, for the same period in 2009. For the first six months of 2010, we generated net income of $73.0 million, or $0.76 per share, compared to net income of $91.1 million, or $0.98 per share, for the same period in 2009.

Net sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 were $1,743.0 million and $3,071.2 million, respectively, which were approximately 1.4% and 6.9% lower than the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively, primarily due to sales declines in our North American and Europe/Africa/Middle East geographical segments, partially offset by a significant net sales increase in our South American geographical segment.

Income from operations during the second quarter of 2010 was $96.5 million compared to $78.1 million in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in income from operations during the second quarter of 2010 was primarily due to higher gross margins resulting from lower material costs and increased production volumes, partially offset by lower net sales and increased engineering expenditures. Income from operations was $105.9 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to $135.2 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease in income from operations during the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to net sales declines.

Income from operations decreased in our Europe/Africa/Middle East region in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to a reduction in net sales and increased engineering expenses. In the South America region, income from operations increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to significant sales growth, improved factory productivity as a result of higher production levels and a shift in product sales mix to higher margin products in Brazil. Income from operations in North America was lower in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to decreased sales and increased expenditures on engineering initiatives. Income from operations in the Rest of World region decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to the decline in net sales.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

Retail Sales

In North America, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2010 increased by approximately 2% compared to the first six months of 2009 resulting from increases in industry unit retail sales of compact and high horsepower tractors, largely offset by declines in industry unit retail sales in utility tractors. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2010 also increased by approximately 1% compared to the prior year period. Continued weakness in the dairy and livestock sectors contributed to lower industry unit retail sales of mid-range utility tractors and hay equipment. Our North American unit retail sales of tractors and combines were lower in the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009.

In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2010 decreased approximately 19% compared to the first six months of 2009. Retail demand declined in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Scandinavia and Finland. The slow pace of macro-economic recovery, weak farmer sentiment and soft demand in the dairy and livestock sectors contributed to the decline. Our Western European unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2010 were also lower when compared to the first six months of 2009.

South American industry unit retail sales of tractors in the first six months of 2010 increased approximately 57% over the prior year period. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2010 were approximately 50% higher than the prior year period. Industry unit retail sales of tractors in the major market of Brazil increased approximately 54% during the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The extension of low interest rate government-sponsored financing programs, record harvests early in 2010 and improved economics for sugar cane growers resulted in significant growth in Brazil compared to weak market conditions experienced in the first six months of 2009. Improved weather and increased crop production in Argentina contributed to a 53% increase in industry unit retail sales during the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period last year. Our South American unit retail sales of tractors and combines were also higher in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.

Net sales in our Rest of World segment decreased approximately 8% during the first six months of 2010 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower sales in Australia and New Zealand. Weaker market conditions in Australia and New Zealand, and the tightened credit environment in the markets of Eastern Europe and Russia, continues to contribute to weak industry demand in those regions.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 were $1,743.0 million compared to $1,767.0 million for the same period in 2009. Net sales for the first six months of 2010 were $3,071.2 million compared to $3,299.7 million for the prior year period. Foreign currency translation positively impacted net sales by approximately $6.1 million, or 0.4%, in the second quarter of 2010 and by $138.1 million, or 4.2%, in the first six months of 2010. The following table sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the impact to net sales of currency translation by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

Regionally, net sales in North America decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to decreased sales of hay equipment, mid-range tractors and implements resulting from weak market conditions. In the Europe/Africa/Middle East region, net sales, excluding the impact of currency translation, decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, with the most significant sales declines in France and Germany, resulting from weak market conditions. Net sales in South America increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 as a result of strong market conditions in the region, particularly in Brazil and Argentina. In the Rest of World segment, net sales, excluding the impact of currency translation, decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to sales declines in Australia and New Zealand. We estimate that worldwide average price increases during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 were approximately 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively.

Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised approximately 73% and 72% of our net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, decreased approximately 1% and 7% in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. Unit sales of tractors and combines increased approximately 9.4% during the second quarter of 2010 and decreased approximately 1.8% during the first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009. The difference between the unit sales increase during the second quarter of 2010 and the unit sales decrease during the first six months of 2010, as compared to the decrease in net sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2010, was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions, except percentages):

material costs produced higher gross margins. Lower production compared to the prior year period in our North American and European factories was a result of weak industry conditions and efforts to manage the seasonal build in our inventory and our dealers’ inventory in the first six months of 2010. The sales mix in South America towards higher horsepower tractors also favorably impacted gross margins in that region. We recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million of stock compensation expense, within cost of goods sold, during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $0.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense for the comparable periods in 2009, as is more fully explained in Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales increased during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to lower net sales. Engineering expenses increased as a percentage of net sales during the second quarter and first six months of 2010 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower net sales as well as higher spending to fund new products and improvements to existing products to meet new emission standards. We recorded approximately $3.3 million and $5.2 million of stock compensation expense, within SG&A, during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $2.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense for the comparable periods in 2009, as is more fully explained in Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $2.1 million during the first six months of 2010 primarily related to severance, retention and other related costs associated with the rationalization of our operations in Denmark, Spain, Finland and France. We recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $2.8 million during the first six months of 2009 primarily related to severance and other related costs associated with the rationalization of our operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Finland.

Interest expense, net was $8.3 million and $17.9 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $11.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of lower interest rates and a reduction in debt levels.

Other expense, net was $7.3 million and $4.8 million during the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $8.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2009. Losses on sales of receivables primarily under our accounts receivable sales agreements in North America with AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. were $3.7 million and $6.3 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables primarily under our European securitization facilities and our former U.S. and Canadian securitization facilities were approximately $5.2 million and $10.2 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. Other expense, net also decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 primarily due to foreign exchange gains compared to foreign exchange losses in the same periods in 2009.

We recorded an income tax provision of $31.9 million and $35.7 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to $14.0 million and $28.4 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2009. Our effective tax rate was 39.4% and 42.9% for the second quarter and first six months of 2010, respectively, compared to 24.1% and 29.2% for the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate was significantly higher in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 primarily due to an increase in losses in jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is being recorded, particularly in the United States.

Equity in net earnings of affiliates was $13.8 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $13.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. For the first six months of 2010, equity in net earnings from affiliates was approximately $25.3 million compared to $22.1 million for the same period in 2009.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

The increase was primarily due to increased earnings in our retail finance joint ventures.

RETAIL FINANCE JOINT VENTURES

Our AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures provide retail financing and wholesale financing to our dealers in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Austria and Argentina. The joint ventures are owned 49% by AGCO and 51% by a wholly owned subsidiary of Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”), a AAA rated financial institution based in the Netherlands. The majority of the assets of the retail finance joint ventures represent finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities represent notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates are obligated to provide financing to the joint venture companies, primarily through lines of credit. We do not guarantee the debt obligations of the retail finance joint ventures other than a portion of the retail portfolio in Brazil that is held outside the joint venture by Rabobank Brazil, which was approximately $3.7 million as of December 31, 2009 and will gradually be eliminated over time. As of June 30, 2010, our capital investment in the retail finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $260.1 million compared to $258.7 million as of December 31, 2009. The total finance portfolio in our retail finance joint ventures was approximately $6.2 billion and $6.3 billion as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The total finance portfolio as of June 30, 2010 included approximately $5.4 billion of retail receivables and $0.8 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The total finance portfolio as of December 31, 2009 included approximately $5.6 billion of retail receivables and $0.7 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The wholesale receivables were either sold to our AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures without recourse from our operating companies or the retail finance joint ventures provided the financing directly to the dealers. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our share in the earnings of the retail finance joint ventures, included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $20.2 million compared to $17.8 million for the same period in 2009.

The retail finance portfolio in our AGCO Finance joint venture in Brazil was $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2010 compared to $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2009. As a result of weak market conditions in Brazil in 2005 and 2006, a substantial portion of this portfolio was included in a payment deferral program directed by the Brazilian government. The impact of the deferral program resulted in higher delinquencies and lower collateral coverage for the portfolio. While the joint venture currently considers its reserves for loan losses adequate, it continually monitors its reserves considering borrower payment history, the value of the underlying equipment financed and further payment deferral programs implemented by the Brazilian government. To date, our retail finance joint ventures in markets outside of Brazil have not experienced any significant changes in the credit quality of their finance portfolios as a result of the recent global economic challenges. However, there can be no assurance that the portfolio credit quality will not deteriorate, and, given the size of the portfolio relative to the joint ventures’ levels of equity, a significant adverse change in the joint ventures’ performance would have a material impact on the joint ventures and on our operating results.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financing requirements are subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and receivable levels. Internally generated funds are supplemented when necessary from external sources, primarily our revolving credit facility, accounts receivable sales agreements and accounts receivable securitization facilities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

We believe that these facilities, together with available cash and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future:

	•		Our $300.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in May 2013 (no amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2010).

	•		Our €200.0 million (or approximately $244.9 million as of June 30, 2010) 6⁷/8% senior subordinated notes, which mature in 2014.

	•		Our $201.3 million 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, which may be required to be repurchased on December 31, 2010 or could be converted earlier based on the closing sales price of our common stock (see further discussion below). Our $201.3 million 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, which may be required to be repurchased on December 15, 2013 or could be converted earlier based on the closing sales price of our common stock (see further discussion below).

	•		Our €140.0 million (or approximately $171.5 million as of June 30, 2010) securitization facilities in Europe, which expire in October 2011. As of June 30, 2010, outstanding funding related to this facility was approximately €99.9 million (or approximately $122.4 million).

	•		Our accounts receivable sales agreements in the United States and Canada with AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., with total accounts receivable sales and funding of up to $600.0 million for U.S. wholesale accounts receivable and up to C$250.0 million (or approximately $235.3 million as June 30, 2010) for Canadian wholesale accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2010, approximately $404.5 million of proceeds had been received under these agreements.

In addition, although we are in complete compliance with the financial covenants contained in these facilities and currently expect to continue to maintain such compliance, should we ever encounter difficulties, our historical relationship with our lenders has been strong and we anticipate their continued long-term support of our business. However, it is impossible to predict the length or severity of the current tightened credit environment, which may impact our ability to obtain additional financing sources or our ability to renew or extend the maturity of our existing financing sources.

Current Facilities

Our $201.3 million of 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 31, 2033, issued in June 2005, provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of our common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 10, 2010. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 1³/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 30 and December 31 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an effective price of $22.36 per share, subject to adjustment. This reflects an initial conversion rate for the notes of 44.7193 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Beginning January 1, 2011, we may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. Holders of the notes may require us to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on December 31, 2010, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028. Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a full description of these notes.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

Our $201.3 million of 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 15, 2036, issued in December 2006, provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of our common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. Interest is payable on the notes at 1¹/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an effective price of $40.73 per share, subject to adjustment. This reflects an initial conversion rate for the notes of 24.5525 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Beginning December 15, 2013, we may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. Holders of the notes may require us to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on December 15, 2013, 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031. Refer to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a full description of these notes.

Holders also may require us to repurchase all or a portion of our convertible senior subordinated notes upon a fundamental change, as defined in the indentures, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The notes are senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The notes are equal in right of payment with our 6⁷/8% senior subordinated notes due 2014.

As of June 30, 2010, the closing sales price of our common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of $22.36 per share for our 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending June 30, 2010, and, therefore, we classified the notes as a current liability. We believe it is unlikely the holders of the notes would convert the notes under the provisions of the indenture agreement, as typically convertible securities are not converted prior to expiration unless called for redemption, thereby requiring us to repay the principal portion in cash. In the event the notes were converted, we believe we could repay the notes with available cash on hand, funds from our $300.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility or a combination of these sources. Future classification of the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes between current and long-term debt is dependent on the closing sales price of our common stock during future quarters.

The 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will impact the diluted weighted average shares outstanding in future periods depending on our stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method. Refer to Notes 6 and 9 of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Our $300.0 million unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility matures on May 16, 2013. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the facility, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% based upon our total debt ratio or (2) the higher of the administrative agent’s base lending rate or one-half of one percent over the federal funds rate plus a margin ranging between 0.0% and 0.50% based upon our total debt ratio. The facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default, as defined in the facility. We also must fulfill financial covenants in respect of a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio, as defined in the facility. As of June 30, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under the facility. As of June 30, 2010, we had availability to borrow approximately $290.2 million under the facility.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

Our €200.0 million of 6⁷/8% senior subordinated notes due April 15, 2014, issued in April 2004, are unsecured obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to any existing or future senior indebtedness. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. As of and subsequent to April 15, 2009, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, initially at 103.438% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, declining to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, at any time on or after April 15, 2012. The notes include covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain restricted payments, including dividends.

Under our European securitization facilities, we sell accounts receivable in Europe on a revolving basis to commercial paper conduits through a qualifying special-purpose entity in the United Kingdom. The European facilities expire in October 2011, but are subject to annual renewal. On December 31, 2009, we expanded our European facilities by €40.0 million so that the total amount of the facilities was €140.0 million (or approximately $171.5 million as of June 30, 2010). As of June 30, 2010, the outstanding funded balance of our European securitization facilities was approximately €99.9 million (or approximately $122.4 million as of June 30, 2010). We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”), and ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2009-17”) on January 1, 2010. As a result of this adoption, our European securitization facilities were required to be recognized within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Therefore, we recognized approximately $122.4 million of accounts receivable sold through our European securitization facilities as of June 30, 2010 with a corresponding liability equivalent to the funded balance of the facilities. Our risk of loss under the securitization facilities is limited to a portion of the unfunded balance of receivables sold, which is approximately 10% of the funded amount. We maintain reserves for doubtful accounts associated with this risk. If the facilities were terminated, we would not be required to repurchase previously sold receivables, but would be prevented from selling additional receivables to the commercial paper conduits. On August 2, 2010, we amended our European securitization facility to decrease the size of the facility by €30.0 million (or approximately $36.7 million).

The European securitization facilities allow us to sell accounts receivable through financing conduits which obtain funding from commercial paper markets. Future funding under our securitization facilities depends upon the adequacy of receivables, a sufficient demand for the underlying commercial paper and the maintenance of certain covenants concerning the quality of the receivables and our financial condition. In the event commercial paper demand is not adequate, our securitization facilities provide for liquidity backing from various financial institutions, including Rabobank. These liquidity commitments would provide us with interim funding to allow us to find alternative sources of working capital financing, if necessary.

Our accounts receivable sales agreements permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of substantially all of our wholesale interest-bearing and non-interest bearing receivables in North America to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., our U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. We have a 49% ownership in these joint ventures. The accounts receivable sales agreements provide for funding up to $600.0 million of U.S. accounts receivable and up to C$250.0 million (or approximately $235.3 million as of June 30, 2010) of Canadian accounts receivable. The sale of the receivables is without recourse to us. We do not service the receivables after the sale occurs, and we do not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. These agreements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions and have the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. As of June 30, 2010, net cash received from receivables sold under the U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable sales agreements with AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd. was approximately $404.5 million.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

Our AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are also without recourse to us. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $162.7 million and $176.9 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. These arrangements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions. In addition, we sell certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. These arrangements are also accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $13.5 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to cash used in operating activities of $265.8 million for the first six months of 2009. Cash flows used in operating activities in the first six months of 2009 included a significant reduction in accounts payable due to a reduction in raw material purchases as a result of production cuts that occurred during the second quarter of 2009.

Our working capital requirements are seasonal, with investments in working capital typically building in the first half of the year and then reducing in the second half of the year. We had $1,120.4 million in working capital at June 30, 2010, as compared with $1,079.6 million at December 31, 2009 and $1,056.7 million at June 30, 2009. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at June 30, 2010 were $261.7 million higher than at December 31, 2009 and $168.5 lower than at June 30, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable and inventories at June 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 was as a result of our adoption of ASU 2009-16 and ASU 2009-17 discussed above, which increased our accounts receivable balance by approximately $122.4 million, and also as a result of seasonal dealer and company inventory requirements.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2010 were $45.3 million compared to $97.8 million for the first six months of 2009. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2010 will range from approximately $185.0 million to $210.0 million and primarily will be used to support our manufacturing operations, focused on improving productivity, as well as to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, primarily as it relates to our efforts to meet new emission requirements.

Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness and temporary equity divided by the sum of total indebtedness, temporary equity and stockholders’ equity, was 24.3% at June 30, 2010 compared to 21.5% at December 31, 2009.

COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Guarantees

We maintain a remarketing agreement with AGCO Finance LLC, our retail finance joint venture in the United States, whereby we are obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values, limited to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. We believe that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations, due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.

At June 30, 2010, we guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $100.7 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate us to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2015. We believe the credit risk associated with these guarantees

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

is not material to our financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees historically have been insignificant. In addition, we generally would be able to recover any amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment would be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid.

Other

As of June 30, 2010, we had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with a notional amount of approximately $994.1 million. The outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2010 range in maturity through January 2011. Gains and losses on such contracts are historically substantially offset by losses and gains on the exposures being hedged. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk — Foreign Currency Risk Management” for further information.

As discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we sell substantially all of our wholesale accounts receivable in North America to our U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures, and we sell certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. We reviewed the sale of such receivables pursuant to the guidelines of ASU 2009-16 and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Contingencies

As a result of Brazilian tax legislation impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), we have recorded a reserve of approximately $8.3 million and $11.6 million against our outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT taxes receivable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, due to the uncertainty as to our ability to collect the amounts outstanding.

In June 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action against our French subsidiary and two other foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program. The French government also is investigating our French subsidiary in connection with its participation in the Program. See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” for further discussion of these matters.

OUTLOOK

Global industry sales are expected to be mixed in 2010 compared to 2009. In South America, strong industry conditions are expected to continue in the second half of 2010 as a result of the continued availability of favorable government financing programs. North American industry demand is expected to remain stable for the remainder of the year. Market conditions are expected to remain weak but stable in Western Europe during the second half of 2010. Comparisons to the full year of 2009 are expected to be more favorable in the second half of 2010 due to weak conditions in Western Europe in the second half of 2009.

For the full year of 2010, we expect an increase in earnings compared to the full year of 2009. Gross margin improvements are expected to be partially offset by higher engineering expenses for new product development and Tier 4 emission requirements, as well as higher pension costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates, including those related to reserves, intangible assets, income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, derivative financial instruments, and contingencies. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking, including certain statements set forth under the headings “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and “Outlook.” Forward-looking statements reflect assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events. These statements, which may relate to such matters as industry demand, market conditions, general economic outlook, global food demand, availability of financing, margins, engineering expenses, pension costs, earnings, net sales, guarantees of indebtedness, compliance with loan covenants, conversion of our notes, equipment resales, future capital expenditures and indebtedness requirements and working capital needs are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and you can identify certain of these statements, but not necessarily all, by the use of the words “anticipate,” “assumed,” “indicate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “forecast,” “rely,” “expect,” “continue,” “grow” and other words of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Adverse changes in any of the following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

•		general economic and capital market conditions;

•		availability of credit to our retail customers;

•		the worldwide demand for agricultural products;

•		grain stock levels and the levels of new and used field inventories;

•		cost of steel and other raw materials;

•		performance of the accounts receivable originated or owned by AGCO or AGCO Finance;

•		government policies and subsidies;

•		weather conditions;

•		interest and foreign currency exchange rates;

•		pricing and product actions taken by competitors;

•		commodity prices, acreage planted and crop yields;

•		farm income, land values, debt levels and access to credit;

•		pervasive livestock diseases;

•		production disruptions;

•		supply and capacity constraints;

•		our cost reduction and control initiatives;

•		our research and development efforts;

•		dealer and distributor actions;

•		technological difficulties; and

•		political and economic uncertainty in various areas of the world.

Any forward-looking statement should be considered in light of such important factors. For additional factors and additional information regarding these factors, please see “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described above emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information except as required by law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

We have significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and we purchase a portion of our tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. We also sell products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The majority of our net sales outside the United States are denominated in the currency of the customer location, with the exception of sales in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, where net sales are primarily denominated in Euros or United States dollars (See “Segment Reporting” in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 for sales by customer location). Our most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, the Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect our results of operations.

We attempt to manage our transactional foreign currency exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, we hedge certain, but not all, of our exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. Our translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. Our most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar. When practical, this translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings. Our hedging policy prohibits use of foreign currency contracts for speculative trading purposes.

All derivatives are recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument. We currently engage in derivatives that are cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions as well as non-designated derivative instruments. Changes in the fair value of non-designated derivative contracts are reported in current earnings. During 2010 and 2009, we designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the loss recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $2.3 million and $13.5 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2010 range in maturity through December 2010.

Assuming a 10% change relative to the currency of the hedge contract (designated and non-designated), the fair value of the foreign currency instruments would be negatively impacted by approximately $42.8 million as of June 30, 2010. Using the same sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2009, the fair value loss of such instruments would have increased by approximately $68.7 million. Due to the fact that these instruments are primarily entered into for hedging purposes, the gains or losses on the contracts would be largely offset by losses and gains on the underlying firm commitment or forecasted transaction.

Interest Rates

We manage interest rate risk through the use of fixed rate debt and may in the future utilize interest rate swap contracts. We have fixed rate debt from our senior subordinated notes and our convertible senior subordinated notes. Our floating rate exposure is related to our credit facility and our securitization facilities, which are tied to changes in United States and European LIBOR rates. Assuming a 10% increase in interest rates, interest expense, net and the cost of our securitization facilities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 would have increased by approximately $0.3 million.

We had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2010, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
