Reports appearing on the web say that Jordan will be running with Ford badged Cosworth Engines in 2003. There has been an amount of speculation that Jordan's partnership with Honda is due to be scrapped at the end of the season.

According to Autosport magazine, the move could be the mark's  start in a project to to move away from Jaguar and make a return to Formula One.  Jaguar's performance over the last three years has not impressed.  If there’s no real improvement from Jaguar in 2003 the Jordan-Fords could even become Jordan-Jaguars in 2004. Jaguar Racing could be disbanded or sold.

A potential deal to supply Jordan with engines could be smoothed along by the team’s sponsor DHL, who spend millions with Ford on commercial vehicles.

If Honda no longer supply Jordan with engines Sato’s position will be further weakened.
There's nothing official from the team just year. If the messageboard is right we should have some news in the next few weeks.
