THE CORPORATION
General Motors Corporation, incorporated in 1916 under the laws of the
State of Delaware, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Registrant" or
the "Corporation" and, together with its subsidiaries, is hereinafter
sometimes referred to as "General Motors" or "GM."
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements (Segment Reporting). II-38
While the major portion of the Corporation's operations is derived from
the automotive products industry segment, GM also has financing and insurance
operations and produces products and provides services in other industry
segments. The automotive products segment consists of the design,
manufacture, assembly, and sale of automobiles, trucks, and related parts and
accessories. The financing and insurance operations assist in the
merchandising of General Motors' products as well as other products. General
Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) and its subsidiaries, as well as certain
other subsidiaries of GM, offer financial services and certain types of
insurance to dealers and customers. In addition, GMAC and its subsidiaries
are engaged in mortgage banking and investment services. The other products
segment consists of military vehicles, radar and weapon control systems,
guided missile systems, and defense and commercial satellites; the design,
installation, and operation of business information and telecommunication
systems; as well as the design, development, and manufacture of locomotives.
Substantially all of the products in the automotive segment are marketed
through retail dealers and through distributors and jobbers in the United
States and Canada and through distributors and dealers overseas. At
December 31, 1993, there were approximately 8,900 General Motors motor vehicle
dealers in the United States, 1,100 in other North America (Canada and
Mexico), and approximately 5,400 outlets overseas.
Backlog of Orders
Shipments of General Motors' automotive products are made as promptly as
possible after receipt of firm sales orders; therefore, no significant backlog
of unfilled orders accumulates. GM Hughes Electronics Corporation had a $13.4
billion and $14.0 billion backlog of defense and commercial contracts at the
end of 1993 and 1992, respectively.

Raw Materials and Services
General Motors purchases materials, parts, supplies, freight transpor-
tation, energy, and other services from numerous unaffiliated firms.
Interruptions in production or delivery of these goods or services could
adversely affect General Motors.
Competitive Position
General Motors' principal competitors in passenger cars and trucks in the
United States and Canada include Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Corporation,
Toyota Corporation, Nissan Motor Corporation, Ltd., Honda Motor Company, Ltd.,
Mazda Motor Corporation, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Isuzu Motors, Ltd.,
Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. (Subaru), Volkswagen A.G., Hyundai Motor Company,

Research and Development
In 1993, General Motors spent $6,029.9 million for research,
manufacturing engineering, product engineering, and development activities
related primarily to the development of new products or services or the
improvement of existing products or services, including activities related to
vehicle emissions control, improved fuel economy, and the safety of persons
using General Motors products. In addition, $1,340.3 million was spent for
customer-sponsored activities, the majority of which were government related.
Comparable data for 1992 were $5,916.9 million for company-sponsored
activities and $1,185.5 million for customer-sponsored activities and for
1991, $5,887.4 million and $1,239.4 million, respectively.
Environmental Matters
Automotive Emissions Control
Both the Federal and California governments currently impose stringent
emission control requirements on motor vehicles sold in their respective
jurisdictions. These requirements include pre-production testing of vehicles,
testing of vehicles after assembly, the imposition of emission defect and
performance warranties, and the obligation to recall and repair customer-owned
vehicles determined to be non-compliant with emissions requirements.
Both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) continue to place great emphasis on compliance
testing of customer-owned vehicles. Failure to comply with the emission
standards or defective emission control hardware discovered during such
testing can lead to substantial cost for General Motors related to emissions
recalls. New CARB and Federal requirements will increase the time and mileage
over which manufacturers are responsible for a vehicle's emission performance.
Both the EPA and the CARB emission requirements will become even more
stringent in the future. A new tier of exhaust emission standards for cars
and trucks, the "Tier 1" standards began phasing in for California vehicles in
the 1993 model year and for Federal vehicles in the 1994 model year. The
phase-in of these "Tier 1" standards will be completed by the 1997 model year.
In addition to the Tier 1 standards is the CARB Low Emission Vehicle
(LEV) Program that begins with the 1994 model year and defines requirements
through model year 2003 and beyond. This program sets even more stringent
exhaust emission standards for cars and trucks. General Motors will have to
meet the LEV Program requirements by marketing a mix of vehicles complying
with the Tier 1 standards, Transitional Low Emission Vehicles (TLEV), Low
Emission Vehicles (LEV), Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV), or Zero Emission
Vehicles (ZEV). From model years 1998 to 2000, 2% of cars and small light-
duty trucks (up to 3,750 lb Loaded Vehicle Weight) must be ZEVs. This
requirement increases to 5% in 2001 and 10% in 2003 and thereafter.
The Clean Air Act permits states that have areas with air quality
problems to adopt the California car and truck emission standards in lieu of
the Federal requirements and two states (New York and Massachusetts) have done
so. In addition, the Ozone Transport Commission, representing twelve
Northeast states and the District of Columbia, have asked the EPA to impose
the California LEV program requirements. This could mean that vehicles
designed for the California LEV program, including ZEVs, would have to be
offered for sale in that region of the country.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
In addition to the above-mentioned exhaust emission programs, onboard
diagnostic (OBD) devices, far more complex than those currently used to
diagnose problems with emission control systems, will be required both
Federally and in California effective with the 1996 model year. This new
system has the potential of increasing warranty costs and the chance for
recall.
New evaporative emission control requirements for cars and trucks begin
phasing in with the 1995 model year in California and the 1996 model year
Federally. Systems will need to be further modified to accommodate Federal
onboard refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) control standards. ORVR phases in on
passenger cars in the 1988 through 2000 model years and on light-duty trucks
in the 2001 through 2006 model years.
Industrial Environmental Control
General Motors is subject to various laws relating to the protection of
the environment, and is in various stages of investigation or remediation for
sites where contamination has been alleged. GM has recorded an accrued
liability of $659 million at December 31, 1993 and $519 million at December
31, 1992 for worldwide environmental cleanup as summarized below:
. GM has been
identified as a potentially responsible party at sites identified by
the EPA and state regulatory agencies for cleanup under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) and similar state statutes. GM voluntarily and actively
participates in cleanup activity where such involvement is verified.
The foreseeable total liability for 1994 and beyond for sites involving
GM is estimated to be $231 million, which was recorded at December 31,
1993. This compares to $203 million at December 31, 1992.
. For closed
or closing plants owned by the Corporation, an estimated liability for
environmental cleanup is typically recognized at the time the
restructuring charge is made and is based on an environmental
assessment of the plant property. The liability estimate includes
amounts for actions which are not specifically required by regulations
or government action but which serve to minimize future liability.
Such liability is estimated at $187 million, which was recorded at
December 31, 1993. This compares to $120 million at December 31, 1992.
. GM is
involved in cleanup actions at additional locations worldwide with a
foreseeable minimum liability of approximately $241 million, which was
recorded at December 31, 1993. This compares to $196 million at
December 31, 1992.
The U.S. Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
regulations require an owner/operator of hazardous waste management facilities
to file annually with the EPA financial assurance to provide funds for closure
and post-closure care of hazardous waste management facilities (HWMFs). As of
December 31, 1993, GM had financial assurance to cover total closure, post-
closure, and mandated liability coverage totaling $138.6 million ($127.6
million closure and post-closure costs and $11 million aggregated liability)
for the HWMFs owned and/or operated by the Corporation. These costs will be
incurred only when an HWMF is closed and only for the amount covered for the
individual HWMF. The annual inflator used by the EPA is projected to be 2.73%
for 1993 (this is applied to the closure and post-closure costs); therefore,
the total financial guarantee to be filed in 1994 to cover the closure and
post-closure cost amounts is estimated to be approximately $142.1 million.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
The RCRA regulations require an owner/operator of underground storage
tanks (UST) to meet, between now and 1998, standards for release detection,
tank performance, and spill/overfill control and to provide for remediation of
contamination where necessary. The associated expenditure forecast for these
activities is expected to be approximately $104 million to be spent over the
next six years. Also, owner/operators of petroleum-containing USTs are
required to demonstrate financial responsibility for corrective action and
third-party compensation. The appropriate coverage level for 1994 will be
$2.0 million in aggregate.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules require the GM Technical Center
Research Laboratories to demonstrate financial assurance for decommissioning
certain licensed facilities in the amount of $154,815. The intent of this
rule is to ensure that decommissioning will be accomplished in a safe and
timely manner and that licensees will provide adequate funds to cover all
costs associated with decommissioning.
The capital cost impact of 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments on GM stationary
sources will depend on the specific requirements of new state and Federal
regulations which must be developed and implemented over the next 10 years.
These regulations include operating permit programs, nitrogen oxide control
programs, chloro-fluoro-carbon phase out, and hazardous air pollutant control
programs. Estimated cost of these programs over the next 10-15 years is
approximately $1 billion. Annual operating permit emission fees will be
approximately $9 million with phase-in started in 1993 and expected to be
fully effective in 1995.
Expenditures by General Motors in the United States for industrial
environmental control facilities during the three years ended December 31,
1993 were (in millions): 1993-$186; 1992-$150; and 1991-$130. The
Corporation currently estimates that future expenditures for industrial
environmental control facilities through 1997 will be (in millions): 1994-
$171; 1995-$144; 1996-$174; and 1997-$83. Specific environmental expenses are
difficult to isolate since expenditures may be made for more than one purpose,
making precise classification difficult.
Vehicular Noise Control
The Federal Truck Regulation preempts all state/local noise regulations
for trucks over 10,000 lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). All
jurisdictions regulating noise levels of school buses which are built on
medium-duty truck chassis have adopted standards compatible with Federal
regulations for medium-duty trucks.
Passenger cars and light-duty trucks are subject to state and local motor
vehicle noise regulations. The current standard for vehicles in these
classes, 80 dB as measured at 50 feet, has been in effect since 1975. Since
the end of 1991, manufacturers have the option of meeting the 80 dB light
vehicle standard using the test protocol for vehicle exports as measured at 25
feet. While General Motors is well positioned for compliance with the 80 dB
standard for light vehicles, future implementation of more stringent exhaust
emission regulations and more stringent fuel economy regulations will require
an assessment of increased costs of noise control.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Automotive Safety Engineering
Expenditures to maintain the operational safety, occupant protection, and
vehicle theft deterrence capability of new GM models continue. These
expenditures include amounts for the study of alternative approaches for
meeting the needs of all three areas.
A final rule allowing use of Daytime Running Lights (DRL) as an option
was issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA). As
a result, GM has announced its intent to provide DRL starting in 1995 on
selected models. It is believed that this feature will enhance the overall
crash avoidance capability of GM vehicles thus reducing crashes and increasing
product sales.
GM is meeting the government requirement for passive restraints by
selectively installing automatic lap/shoulder belts or driver supplemental
inflatable restraints (air bags) on all passenger cars. The driver-side air
bag concept has been approved for all remaining passenger cars, light-duty
trucks, and vans during the 1994 through 1997 model years. Current plans call
for a phase-in of the passenger-side air bag in these same cars from the 1994
through 1999 model years.
A new government requirement for passenger car side impact protection was
issued in 1990 affecting future model year cars. A phase-in of the new
requirement began September 1, 1993. The NHTSA will propose that dynamic side
impact protection requirements be extended to light-duty trucks and vans. If
a final rule is promulgated, side structure and interior trim designs of
future models will be affected.
Regarding GM light-duty trucks and vans, a final rule required center
high-mounted stop lamps by September 1, 1993. Also, head restraints are now
required on all light-duty trucks and vans.
A final rule covering roof crush resistance has also been issued by the
NHTSA for light-duty trucks and vans that is more stringent than for passenger
cars. This rule addresses vehicles with a GVWR less than or equal to 6,000 lb
and will be effective September 1, 1994.
A final rule has been issued by NHSTA that will extend the passenger car
automatic restraint requirements to light-duty trucks and vans on a phased-in
basis beginning September 1, 1994.
Lastly, a final rule has been issued by NHSTA that will require air bags
be the only means used to meet the automatic restraint requirements for
passenger cars and light-duty trucks and vans on a phased-in basis beginning
September 1, 1996.
The NHTSA currently is considering the effects of fuel system crash
integrity requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
(301). If any of the considerations ultimately are adopted as final rules,
some undetermined redesign, cost, and weight increase could be expected for
most of GM's vehicles. See Item 3, Legal Proceedings, Other Matters.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
With the passage of the Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992, implementation costs
for the 1993 calendar year will affect approximately 22 passenger car assembly
plants and 9 light-duty truck plants. For the affected truck plants, the
major expenditures will be for new label printer installations and additional
stamping equipment. Both passenger car and truck plants affected will
probably require some extra tooling to accommodate full VIN-stamping on the
frame of each vehicle and noise-pollution reduction facilities to alleviate
noise associated with VIN-stamping operations.
A bill has been recently introduced into Congress by Representative
Danforth that changes the current Federal bumper impact requirement from 2.5
mph to 5 mph. The bill also calls for labeling that defines bumper
performance. This bill may have an effect on future GM products that are
designed to meet the existing FMVSS requirements. Additionally, performance
labeling may cause additional testing that will lead to increased costs.
Automotive Fuel Economy
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act passed in 1975 provided for
production-weighted average fuel economy standards for passenger cars for 1978
and thereafter. Based on EPA combined city-highway test data, the General
Motors 1993 model year domestic passenger car fleet is projected to attain a
Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) of 27.4 miles per gallon (mpg) versus
the standard of 27.5 mpg. The CAFE estimate for 1994 model year passenger
cars is projected at 27.4 mpg versus the standard of 27.5 mpg. The projected
shortfalls for 1993 and 1994 will be offset by credits projected to be earned
in future model years.
Fuel economy standards for light-duty trucks became effective in 1979.
General Motors' CAFE fleet average for the 1993 model year is 20.2 mpg versus
the standard of 20.4 mpg. For the 1994 model year, GM's estimated fleet
average CAFE is projected to be 19.9 mpg versus a standard of 20.5 mpg. The
shortfall for 1993 will be offset by credits earned in 1991. The projected
shortfall for 1994 will be partially offset by credits earned in 1991 and
1992. It is expected that the remaining shortfall will be offset by credits
from future model years. However, the exact amount cannot be determined
because standards have not been set beyond 1995.
GM's ability to meet increased CAFE standards is contingent on various
future economic, consumer, legislative, and regulatory factors that GM cannot
control and cannot predict with certainty. If GM could not comply with any
new CAFE standards, GM could be subject to sizable civil penalties and could
have to close plants or severely restrict product offerings to remain in
compliance.
Seasonal Nature of Business
In the automotive business, there are retail sales fluctuations of a
seasonal nature, so that production varies from month to month. In addition,
the changeover period related to the annual new model introduction has
traditionally occurred in the third quarter of each year. For this reason,
third quarter operating results are, in general, less favorable than those in
the other three quarters of the year, depending on the magnitude of the
changeover needed to commence production of new models incorporating, for
example, design modifications related to more fuel-efficient vehicle
packaging, stricter government standards for safety and emission controls, and
consumer-oriented improvements in performance, comfort, convenience, and
style.
Segment Reporting Data
Industry segment and geographic segment data for 1993, 1992, and 1991 are

Environmental Matters
On February 19, 1991, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court of
Connecticut by the Connecticut Commissioner of Environmental Protection
alleging that the plant in Bristol, Connecticut operated by GM's Delco Moraine
NDH Division (now part of the Delco Chassis Division) had violated
Connecticut's hazardous waste regulations in connection with its inspection,
recordkeeping, and remediation of a spill of chromic acid at the plant site.
The complaint seeks penalties of up to $25,000 per day for a period commencing
sometime prior to April 1989 and running through November 1990. GM contends
that its inspection, recordkeeping, and remediation practices in relation to
the spill complied with applicable rules and regulations.

On March 12, 1991, the Region II office of the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) issued a Civil Administrative Complaint alleging that the plant
operated by GM's Central Foundry Division (now part of the GM Powertrain
Division) of the Corporation in Massena, New York had improperly disposed of
polychlorinated biphenyl contaminated sludge during the period February 1984
through October 1987. The complaint seeks a fine of $14,176,000. GM believes
that its disposal practices at Massena were in general compliance with
applicable rules and regulations.

On March 1, 1993, the U.S. EPA Region V issued a civil administrative
complaint alleging that stormwater from the Chevrolet-Pontiac-GM of Canada
Group's Pontiac Fiero plant in Pontiac, Michigan exceeded the facility's
National Pollutant Discharge System Permit from May 1989 through May 1992.
The EPA complaint, as amended, cites the Corporation for 94 exceedances of
copper, lead, and zinc and is seeking $125,000 in penalties. There has been
no production at the Fiero Plant since August 1988. The Corporation believes
that the very low concentrations of metals found in the stormwater during the
specified time period occurred as a result of acid rain dissolving metal from
the gutters and roof. General Motors is contesting the allegations and has
requested a hearing.

On March 26, 1993, the Region V office of the EPA issued a Civil
Administration Complaint against the Corporation alleging that 65 petroleum
and hazardous substance underground storage tanks (USTs) which it has operated
at its Technical Center in Warren, Michigan have been in violation of certain
of the EPA UST regulations. The EPA has proposed a civil penalty of $267,447.
Based upon its current evaluation of this matter, General Motors believes that
the operations cited by the EPA's complaint have been and remain in
substantial compliance with applicable UST regulations.

In March 1993, the Michigan Department of National Resources (MDNR)
notified the Corporation's Powertrain Division (PD) that MDNR was making a
referral to the Michigan Attorney General for resolution of allegations by
MDNR that a PD facility in Saginaw, Michigan had failed to conduct a timely
environmental investigation to MDNR's satisfaction of a landfill and certain
other areas at the facility's property, and that PD's on-site water recycling
basins were improperly discharging contaminants to the groundwater and the
Saginaw River.

Other Matters
U.S. Government contracts held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries are
subject to termination by the U.S. Government either for its convenience or
for default by the contractor. The costs recovered for terminations for
convenience do not always fully reimburse the contractor, and the profit or
fee received by the contractor may be lower than that which it had expected
for the portion of the contract performed. In cases of termination for
default, normal contract remedies generally apply. In addition, the U.S.
Government has broad discretion to suspend or debar a contractor from engaging
in new government business, including discretion as to the period of
suspension and activities affected. A contractor may be debarred based on a
conviction or civil judgment involving certain offenses, including fraud in
connection with obtaining or performing a public contract, or subcontract
thereunder, and may be suspended if indicted for such an offense or if there
is other adequate evidence that such an offense has been committed. Like
other government contractors, GM and its subsidiaries are subject to civil
audits and criminal investigations relating to their contracting activity.

In September 1973, Hughes filed suit against the U.S. Government in the
U.S. Court of Claims seeking reasonable and entire compensation for the
unauthorized manufacture or use by the United States of the invention claimed
in a Hughes patent (the "Williams Patent") covering "Velocity Control and
Orientation of a Spin Stabilized Body," principally satellites. In late 1983,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the U.S. Court
with appellate jurisdiction for patent cases) ruled that the Williams Patent
was valid and that the Government had infringed that patent. The compensation
which Hughes is entitled to recover as a result of the Government's
infringement is now being determined by the U.S. Court of Claims,
as well as whether additional U.S. Government satellites also infringe.
The trial concluded in December 1988. Subsequently, both Hughes and the
Government sought and obtained discovery and additional court hearings on
various issues. At the latest hearing, which concluded January 24, 1991,
Hughes introduced evidence that additional satellites should be added to the
royalty base. Hughes contends that its recovery should be calculated in
accordance with either of two methods for computing delay compensation and
introduced evidence to support an award of approximately $4.8 billion or $1.5
billion depending upon the methods used. The Government sought to demonstrate
to the Court that any damages awarded to Hughes in this case should not exceed
$20-30 million. Based upon the advice of counsel, Hughes believes that its
recovery will be substantially in excess of that amount; however, Hughes is
not able to predict what the ultimate recovery will actually be. In August
1993, the Court determined that approximately $4 billion in satellite
purchases infringed the patent. The Court must still determine an appropriate
royalty rate and "delay compensation" to apply for the infringing sales. The
Court has indicated that a decision on these remaining issues may be expected
sometime in 1994. It is anticipated that thereafter the Government will
endeavor to exhaust all possible appeal rights while Hughes will resist such
efforts and seek to recover the judgment as promptly as possible. It is not
possible to reasonably estimate when the decision will actually be rendered or
the duration of the Government's appeal efforts.

On January 9, 1992, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, filed a lawsuit against Computer
Associates International, Inc. ("Computer Associates"), in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleging principally breach
of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, misuse of
copyright, fraud, interference with business relations, and violations of anti-
trust laws. EDS is requesting unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On
January 29, 1992, Computer Associates filed its answer, denying the claims of
EDS and seeking dismissal of certain claims. On that date, Computer
Associates filed counterclaims alleging principally breach of contract, breach
of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, copyright infringement, fraud,
interference with business relations, and misappropriation of trade secrets.
Under various counts, Computer Associates is asserting separate compensatory
damage claims which individually range from $100 million to $1.3 billion, and
separate exemplary damage claims which individually range from $200 million to
$1.3 billion and injunctive relief. In addition, on January 29, 1992,
Computer Associates filed a separate lawsuit against General Motors in New
York Supreme Court, Nassau County, alleging breach of contract and breach of
the duty of good faith and fair dealing based on essentially the same factual
allegations, and claiming damages of not less than $250 million on each of the
two counts. EDS believes the amount of damages asserted in the claims against
General Motors are duplicative of and included within Computer Associates'
counterclaim against EDS. On May 6, 1992, the court granted General Motors
I-10
13
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
motion to dismiss the action on procedural grounds. On October 9, 1992,
Computer Associates, and two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, On-Line
Software International, Inc. and Pansophic Systems, Inc., filed a lawsuit
against General Motors and EDS in New York Supreme Court, Suffolk County,
seeking a declaratory judgment as to their ongoing rights and obligations with
respect to General Motors and EDS under two computer software licensing
agreements. On January 29, 1993, Computer Associates filed a stipulation
discontinuing the suit against General Motors. In the continuing suit against
EDS, the action was removed to the Federal Court for the Eastern District of
New York where it was dismissed.
Management of EDS believes that EDS has strong and meritorious defenses to
the claims asserted by Computer Associates. EDS intends to vigorously defend
against such claims and EDS intends to press for the relief sought in the
claims asserted by EDS against Computer Associates.
* *
On August 21, 1992, EDS filed a breach of contract suit against the State
of Florida (the "State") in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit
in Leon County, Florida, seeking recovery under various counts of more than
$46 million in payment for unpaid computer equipment and information
technology services. The suit arises out of a 1989 contract entered into
between EDS and the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services ("DHRS")
of the State of Florida under which EDS had agreed to provide an information
management system to the DHRS that would integrate its offices and computer
programs statewide. EDS completed the system and turned it over to the
Department in May 1992. On September 21, 1993, the State filed an Answer and
Counterclaims, alleging principally breach of contract and breach of warranty.
Under various counts, the State is requesting approximately $90 million in
damages and approximately $140 million in indemnification for potential
liability of the State to the Federal government. On October 13, 1993, the
Court granted EDS summary judgment on one of the computer equipment counts,
awarding EDS $17.5 million. However, on December 10, 1993, the Florida First
District Court of Appeals reversed that award and dismissed EDS' action and
the State's counterclaims on the grounds that EDS should have pursued remedies
under the dispute resolution clause in its contract with the State. EDS has
filed its claims with the DHRS contracting officer.
EDS management believes that it has strong and meritorious defenses to any
counterclaims which the State may have and intends to defend itself vigorously
while continuing to pursue recovery against the State under the claims which
it has filed.

On August 7, 1992, Jerome Lemelson filed a patent infringement suit in the
U.S. District Court, District of Nevada, against General Motors Corporation,
Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Chrysler Corporation (Chrysler). The patents in
suit are alleged by Lemelson to cover bar coding techniques employed by the
respective defendants. In response, each of the defendants has denied
infringement, and General Motors and Chrysler have counterclaimed to have
these Lemelson patents held invalid (Ford is seeking to have such patents
declared invalid in a separate action). On August 31, 1992, GM filed suit
against Lemelson in the same court seeking a judgment that selected Lemelson
patents alleged by him to cover certain machine vision applications are
invalid and not infringed by General Motors. In response, on September 30,
1992, Lemelson filed a counterclaim charging GM with infringement of not only
the patents sued on by GM, but also other Lemelson patents alleged by him to
cover further machine vision applications, certain semi-conductor devices, and
the use of lasers in manufacturing. General Motors has denied infringement of
these additional Lemelson patents and has counterclaimed to have such patents
declared invalid. In each of the above-described lawsuits, Lemelson is
I-11

seeking an injunction and an unspecified amount of damages. Based upon
representations by Lemelson's counsel, the aggregate damages sought by
Lemelson may be material to GM. In the opinion of its counsel, GM's position
is meritorious in each of these litigations. GM has entered into a
"standstill" agreement with Lemelson pursuant to which dismissal without
prejudice of the Lemelson action against GM is now pending before the court.
Upon resolution of the Lemelson litigation against Ford and Chrysler, Lemelson
may reinstitute his suit against General Motors in a separate action. If
either Ford or Chrysler ultimately settle, the standstill agreement provides
that GM may settle with Lemelson on a proportionate basis.

Several actions seeking compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified
amounts have been filed against Hughes Aircraft Company (Hughes) by plaintiffs
alleging that they suffered injuries as a result of the migration into the
Tucson, Arizona water supply of toxic substances that were disposed of at a
facility owned by the United States Government which Hughes operates under a
contract with the U.S. Air Force. These actions include a class action filed
in Arizona State Court, BAHRS, ET AL. V. HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY, ET AL.
(Super. Ct. Pima County), an individual action filed on behalf of
approximately 500 plaintiffs in Federal District Court in ARIZONA, ACEVEDO, ET
AL. V. HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY, and a class action filed in Federal District
Court in Arizona, LANIER V. HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY. Other governmental and
private entities are known to have also been the source of toxic substances
which may have migrated into the Tucson water supply. Hughes believes that it
has strong defenses to the claims asserted against it and that it may have
claims for contribution against the other entities.
The facts alleged in these cases are similar to the facts alleged in the
previously reported action entitled VALENZUELA V. HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY. As
previously reported, the VALENZUELA action was settled pursuant to an
agreement under which Hughes' principal insurers provided $70.7 million and
Hughes provided $13.8 million. At the time of such settlement, Hughes and its
insurers were litigating in the United States District Court in Arizona their
respective ultimate liability to one another for the amounts paid in the
VALENZUELA settlement. This litigation, entitled SMITH, ET AL. V. HUGHES
AIRCRAFT COMPANY, was commenced in 1988 by various insurers seeking a
declaratory judgment that the VALENZUELA claims are not covered under the
terms of the insurance policies issued to Hughes. These insurers have taken a
similar position with respect to the more recently filed actions. In
September 1991, the SMITH court entered summary judgment in favor of Hughes'
insurers who issued policies from 1971 to 1985, based upon "pollution
exclusions" contained in those policies. In September 1992, the SMITH court
entered summary judgment in favor of Hughes' pre-1971 insurers based upon
findings and conclusions that could have been adverse to Hughes with respect
to other claims and proceedings. Hughes appealed these rulings to the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals. In November 1993, the Ninth Circuit affirmed in
substantial part the District Court's summary judgment on the "pollution
exclusion" policies, but reversed the District Court's summary judgment on pre-
1971 policies. The Ninth Circuit remanded the case for further proceedings in
the District Court. On January 10, 1994, Hughes and the carriers each filed
petitions for rehearing with the Ninth Circuit.
Contracts under which Hughes has operated the Air Force facility contain
provisions under which indemnification from the Air Force may be provided for
certain liabilities which Hughes may incur in connection with its operation of
the facility to the extent such liabilities are not covered by insurance.
Hughes intends to prosecute all appropriate claims it may have for insurance
coverage and, if necessary, to pursue all appropriate claims for indemnif-
ication or contribution relating to the actions described above.

In December 1992, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), granting a petition previously filed by the Center for Auto Safety
and Public Citizen, opened an investigation to determine whether 1973-1987
model Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickup trucks contain a safety defect
resulting in an unreasonably high incidence of fuel-fed fires in side impact
collisions. NHTSA emphasized then and has repeated that granting the petition
does not indicate that the agency has determined that a safety-related defect
exists in these vehicles.
On April 9, 1993, NHTSA made an informal request of GM that it voluntarily
conduct a safety-related recall campaign on the vehicles. Although in its
April 9, 1993 letter, NHTSA stated that its Office of Defects Investigation
"believes that GM's fuel tank system in the subject vehicles contains a defect
that relates to motor vehicle safety, " it nevertheless stated that "this
recommendation to conduct a safety recall does not reflect a formal conclusion
by the agency, ... should not be confused with an Initial or Final
Determination of a safety defect pursuant to ... the National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act, ... (and) should (not) be confused with a recall
order ..." A recall order can only be issued by the agency if it makes a
Final Determination (which it has not done in this case) that a defect exists
which presents an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.
On April 30, 1993, in a written response to NHTSA's letter of April 9,
1993, General Motors stated that based upon its evaluation of the data which
NHTSA had then made available to GM as having been the basis for requesting
the voluntary recall in its letter, General Motors continued to believe that
its 1973-1987 pickup trucks are neither defective nor present an unreasonable
risk, and that consequently no safety recall of such trucks is warranted.
General Motors remains strongly of this view, and intends to press its
position vigorously while continuing to cooperate with NHTSA's investigative
efforts.
There are also pending individual product liability claims and lawsuits
involving allegations of defects in the design of such vehicles resulting in
fuel-fed fires following side impact collisions. GM intends to defend these
cases vigorously.
In addition to the NHTSA investigation and the product liability cases, 38
class actions were filed in state and Federal courts against the Corporation,
claiming that 1973-1987 model Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickup trucks are
defective because their fuel tanks are mounted below the cab and outside the
frame rails. 24 Federal court class actions were transferred to the Federal
court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
Litigation. In these actions, plaintiffs claimed that the fuel tank locations
make the vehicles unreasonably susceptible to fuel-fed fires following side
impact collisions. Plaintiffs alleged breach of contract and warranty,
negligence, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation, as well as violation of
various state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits seek compensatory and
punitive damages and injunctions requiring notice to owners, repairs,
retrofitting, and "disgorgement" of revenues.
In July 1993, a nationwide class action settlement of the C/K pickup truck
class actions was submitted to the Pennsylvania Federal court and a state
court in Texas. After notice of the proposed settlement was sent to 6.3
million registered owners, the Pennsylvania and Texas courts held hearings to
determine if the settlement was fair, reasonable and adequate. Both courts
subsequently entered orders giving final approval of the settlement. Certain
objectors have filed appeals of those approvals in the U.S. Third Circuit
Court of Appeals and a Texas state Court of Appeals. Those appeals are
pending.

Additionally, on October 14, 1993, CROWDER, ET AL V. GENERAL MOTORS
CORPORATION was filed as a purported class action in the Federal court in
Dallas, Texas on behalf of owners of full-size pickup trucks and chassis cabs
covered by the class action settlements who elected to be excluded from the
settlements or purchased their trucks used after July 19, 1993. The
allegations are essentially the same as those made in the other class actions.
No determination has been made that the case may proceed as a class action.
GM intends to vigorously defend the case and oppose certification of a class.
The settlement provides for owners of 1973-1986 model C/K and 1987-1991
R/V pickup trucks and chassis cabs as of July 19, 1993, the date the
settlement was announced, to receive $1,000 Certificates from General Motors
which may be used in connection with the purchase of any new GMC Truck or
Chevrolet light-duty truck. The Certificates can be used in combination with
other GM and GMAC incentive programs during the 15-month period after eligible
owners are notified of the procedures for obtaining their Certificates. The
Certificates are redeemable by the eligible owner or immediate family members
residing at the same address. Within the original redemption period,
Certificates also can be transferred at face value with the truck. Original
Certificate holders also can elect to exchange the $1,000 Certificate for a
non-transferable $500 Certificate issuable in the name of another person, such
certificate being redeemable only toward the purchase of a new C/K pickup
truck, and not being usable in combination with other incentives offered by GM
or GMAC. Both the $1,000 and $500 Certificates can only be used at authorized
Chevrolet and GMC Truck dealers and cannot be redeemed for cash or any other
consideration. The Corporation believes that the settlement will not have a
material adverse impact on its operations or financial condition.

RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following consolidated financial statements of General Motors Corporation
and subsidiaries were prepared by management which is responsible for their
integrity and objectivity. The statements have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, include amounts
based on judgments of management. Financial information elsewhere in Part II
is consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.
Management is further responsible for maintaining a system of internal
accounting controls, designed to provide reasonable assurance that the books
and records reflect the transactions of the companies and that its established
policies and procedures are carefully followed. From a stockholder's point of
view, perhaps the most important feature in the system of control is that it
is continually reviewed for its effectiveness and is augmented by written
policies and guidelines, the careful selection and training of qualified
personnel, and a strong program of internal audit.
Deloitte & Touche, an independent auditing firm, is engaged to audit the
consolidated financial statements of General Motors Corporation and its
subsidiaries and issue reports thereon. The audit is conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which comprehend a review of
internal accounting controls and a test of transactions. The Independent
Auditors' Report appears on the next page.
The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee (composed entirely of
non-employee Directors), is responsible for assuring that management fulfills
its responsibilities in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements. The Committee selects the independent auditors annually in
advance of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and submits the selection for
ratification at the Meeting. In addition, the Committee reviews the scope of
the audits and the accounting principles being applied in financial reporting.
The independent auditors, representatives of management, and the internal
auditors meet regularly (separately and jointly) with the Committee to review
the activities of each, to ensure that each is properly discharging its
responsibilities, and to assess the effectiveness of the system of internal
accounting controls. It is management's conclusion that the system of
internal accounting controls at December 31, 1993 provides reasonable
assurance that the books and records reflect the transactions of the companies
and that its established policies and procedures are complied with. To ensure
complete independence, Deloitte & Touche has full and free access to meet with
the Committee, without management representatives present, to discuss the
results of the audit, the adequacy of internal accounting controls, and the
quality of the financial reporting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
General Motors Corporation, its Directors, and Stockholders:
We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheets of General Motors Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related Statements
of Consolidated Operations and Consolidated Cash Flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedules listed at Item 14. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of General Motors Corporation and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also,
in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 5 to the financial statements, effective
January 1, 1992 the Corporation changed its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and its revenue recognition policy
for a subsidiary. Also, as discussed in Note 1, effective January 1, 1991 the
Corporation changed its methods of accounting for general purpose spare parts
and income taxes.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. Significant Accounting Policies
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of General Motors
Corporation (General Motors, GM, or the Corporation) and domestic and foreign
subsidiaries which are more than 50% owned. General Motors' share of earnings
or losses of associates in which at least 20% of the voting securities is
owned is included in consolidated operating results under the equity method of
accounting (see Note 2).
Revenue Recognition
Sales are generally recorded by the Corporation when products are shipped to
independent dealers. Provisions for normal dealer sales incentives, returns
and allowances, and GM Card rebates are made at the time of vehicle sale.
Costs related to special sales incentive programs are recognized as reductions
to sales when determinable.
Certain sales under long-term contracts, primarily in the defense
business, are recorded using the percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost)
method of accounting. Under this method, sales are recorded equivalent to
costs incurred plus a portion of the profit expected to be realized on the
contract, determined based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total
costs at completion.
Effective January 1, 1992, Hughes Aircraft Company (Hughes) changed its
revenue recognition policy for certain commercial businesses from the
percentage-of-completion (cost-to-cost) method commonly followed by defense
contractors to the units-of-delivery method which is more appropriate for a
commercial business. The unfavorable cumulative effect of this change was
$40.0 million, or $0.05 per share of $1-2/3 par value and $0.10 per share of
Class H common stock.
Profits expected to be realized on contracts are based on the
Corporation's estimates of total sales value and costs at completion. These
estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the
contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are
recorded in the accounting period in which the revisions are made. Estimated
losses on contracts are recorded in the period in which they are identified.
In the case of finance receivables in which the face amount includes the
finance charge (principally retail financing), earnings are recorded in income
over the terms of the receivables using the interest method. On finance
receivables in which the face amount represents the principal (principally
wholesale, interest-bearing financing, and fleet leasing), the interest is
taken into income as earned. Certain loan origination costs are deferred and
amortized to financing revenue over the life of the related loans using the
interest method.
Insurance premiums are earned on a basis related to coverage provided over
the terms of the policies (principally based on anticipated loss experience).
Commission costs and premium taxes incurred in acquiring new business are
deferred and amortized over the terms of the related policies on the same
basis as premiums are earned. Acquisition costs associated with direct mail
programs are amortized over a three year period. The liability for losses and
claims includes a provision for unreported losses, based on past experience,
net of the estimated salvage and subrogation recoverable.
Provision for Financing Losses
An allowance for credit losses is generally established during the period in
which receivables are acquired and is maintained in amounts considered by
management to be appropriate in relation to receivables outstanding.
Losses arising from repossession of the collateral supporting doubtful
accounts are recognized upon repossession of the collateral. Repossessed
collateral is recorded at estimated realizable value in other assets and
adjustments to the related valuation allowance are included in operating
expense. Where repossession has not been effected, losses are charged off as
soon as it is determined that the collateral cannot be repossessed, generally
not more than 150 days after default.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Inventories
Effective January 1, 1991, accounting procedures were changed to include in
inventory general purpose spare parts previously charged directly to expense.
The effect of this change on 1991 earnings was a favorable adjustment of
$306.5 million, or $0.50 per share of $1-2/3 par value and $0.04 per share of
Class H common stock.
Inventories are stated generally at cost, which is not in excess of
market. The cost of substantially all U.S. inventories other than the
inventories of Saturn Corporation (Saturn) and GM Hughes Electronics
Corporation (GMHE) is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. If
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation had been used for
inventories valued at LIFO cost, such inventories would have been $2,519.0
million higher at December 31, 1993 and $2,668.1 million higher at December
31, 1992. As a result of decreases in U.S. inventories, certain inventory
quantities carried at lower LIFO costs prevailing in prior years, as compared
with the costs of current purchases, were liquidated in 1993 and 1992. These
inventory adjustments improved pre-tax operating results by approximately
$134.4 million in 1993, primarily from the sale of the Allison Gas Turbine
Division (AGT), and $294.7 million in 1992. The cost of inventories outside
the U.S. and of Saturn and GMHE is determined generally by FIFO or average
cost methods.
Major Classes of Inventories
(Dollars in Millions) 1993 1992
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Productive material, work in process, and supplies $4,671.9 $5,124.7
Finished product, service parts, etc. 3,943.2 4,218.9
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $8,615.1 $9,343.6
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contracts in Process
Contracts in process are stated at costs incurred plus estimated profit, less
amounts billed to customers and advances and progress payments received.
Engineering, tooling, manufacturing, and applicable overhead costs, including
administrative, research and development, and selling expenses, are charged to
costs and expenses when they are incurred. Under certain contracts with the
United States Government, progress payments are received based on costs
incurred on the respective contracts. Title to the inventories relating to
such contracts (included in contracts in process) vests with the United States
Government.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of groups of property
generally using accelerated methods, which accumulate depreciation of
approximately two-thirds of the depreciable cost during the first half of the
estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for special tools are amortized over their estimated useful
lives. Amortization is applied directly to the asset account. Replacement of
special tools for reasons other than changes in products is charged directly
to cost of sales.
General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) provides for depreciation of
vehicles and other equipment on operating leases or in company use generally
on a straight-line basis. The difference between the net book value and the
proceeds of sale or salvage on items disposed of is included in income as a
charge against or credit to the provision for depreciation.
Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1991, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The
favorable (unfavorable) cumulative effect at January 1, 1991 was $232.7
million, or $0.38 per share of $1-2/3 par value, ($0.03) per share of Class E,
and $0.09 per share of Class H common stock.
II-11

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Provisions are made for estimated United States and foreign income taxes,
less available tax credits and deductions, which may be incurred on the
remittance of the Corporation's share of subsidiaries' undistributed earnings
not deemed to be indefinitely invested. Taxes have not been provided on
foreign subsidiaries' earnings which are deemed indefinitely reinvested of
approximately $5.2 billion and $6.5 billion at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. Quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any,
associated with indefinitely reinvested earnings is not practicable.
Product-Related Expenses
Expenditures for advertising and sales promotion and for other product-related
expenses are charged to costs and expenses as incurred; provisions for
estimated costs related to product warranty are made at the time the products
are sold. Expenditures for research and development are charged to expenses
as incurred and amounted to $6,029.9 million in 1993, $5,916.9 million in
1992, and $5,887.4 million in 1991.
Foreign Currency Translation
Exchange and translation gains (losses) included in consolidated operating
results in 1993, 1992, and 1991 amounted to $189.0 million, ($169.0) million,
and ($154.7) million, respectively.
Acquisitions and Intangible Assets
During 1992, the Corporation obtained a majority interest in National Car
Rental System Inc. (NCRS). The accounts of NCRS were consolidated effective
December 31, 1992.
Also in 1992, GMHE acquired the missile business of General Dynamics
Corporation (GD) in exchange for 21.5 million shares of Class H common stock
and cash of $62.8 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
and, accordingly, the operating results of such operations have been
consolidated since the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the acquired net assets, and the pro forma effect on
1992 operating results, were not material.
Intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Hughes relate to patents
and related technology and other intangible assets and totaled $3,129.1
million and $3,252.9 million (net of accumulated amortization) at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively. The principal portion of such assets, which were
originally recorded in 1985, is being amortized over 40 years.
Intangible assets arising from the acquisition of Electronic Data Systems
Corporation (EDS) relate to goodwill and totaled approximately $29.8 million
and $65.5 million (net of accumulated amortization) at December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively. Such assets, which were originally recorded in 1984, are
being amortized over 10 years.
For the purpose of determining earnings (loss) per share and amounts
available for dividends on common stocks, the amortization of intangible
assets arising from the acquisitions of Hughes and EDS is charged against
earnings (loss) attributable to $1-2/3 par value common stock. The resulting
effect on the 1993, 1992, and 1991 earnings (loss) attributable to $1-2/3 par
value common stock was a net credit (charge) of $149.8 million, ($827.0)
million, and $48.3 million, respectively, for the Hughes acquisition and $39.2
million, $61.5 million, and ($61.5) million, respectively, for the EDS
acquisition. Such amounts consist of the amortization of the intangible
assets arising from the acquisitions, the profit on intercompany transactions,
and the earnings (loss) of GMHE or EDS attributable to $1-2/3 par value common
stock.
Goodwill resulting from other past acquisitions is being amortized over
periods of eight to 40 years. Certain purchased software is being amortized
over five to eight years.
The intangible assets of GMAC, amounting to $360.9 million at December 31,
1993 and $514.9 million at December 31, 1992, primarily represent purchased
mortgage servicing rights which are being amortized over periods that
generally match future net mortgage servicing revenues, while goodwill is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.
II-12
29
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Corporation periodically evaluates the recoverability of goodwill and
other intangible assets, by assessing whether the unamortized intangible asset
can be recovered over its remaining life through cash flows generated by
underlying tangible assets.
Financial Instruments
The Corporation is party to a variety of interest rate and foreign exchange
forward contracts (e.g., swap agreements) and options in the management of its
interest rate and foreign exchange exposure. The differential to be paid or
received under these agreements is accrued consistent with the terms of the
agreements and market interest rates.
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Corporation has provided fair value
estimates and information about valuation methodologies in various notes to
the consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value amounts have
been determined using available market information or other appropriate
valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in
interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value, so the estimates
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would
be paid in a current market exchange. The effect of using different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be material to the estimated
fair value amounts.
Other assets reported at December 31, 1993 and 1992 include various
financial instruments (e.g., long-term receivables and real estate mortgages
held for resale) having a fair value in excess of reported book value of
approximately $290.8 million and $149.4 million, respectively (excluding
amounts related to GMAC receivable sales as discussed in Note 11), based on
discounted cash flows, market quotations, and other appropriate valuation
techniques. Also, certain financial instruments included in other liabilities
and deferred credits, such as certain payroll, tax, and interest obligations
have carrying values which approximate fair value.
Fair value information presented herein is based on information available
at December 31, 1993 and 1992. Although management is not aware of any
factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such
amounts have not been updated since those dates and, therefore, the current
estimates of fair value at dates subsequent to December 31, 1993 and 1992 may
differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Environmental Liabilities
The Corporation recognizes environmental liabilities when a loss is probable
and can be reasonably estimated. Such obligations are generally not subject
to insurance coverage.
Each environmental obligation is estimated by engineering and legal
specialists within the Corporation based on current law and existing
technologies. Such estimates are based primarily upon the estimated cost of
investigation and remediation required and the likelihood that other
potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") will be able to fulfill their
commitments at the sites where the Corporation may be jointly and severally
liable. At sites being addressed under the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act or similar state laws (the
"Superfund Sites"), the Corporation typically recognizes an estimated
liability once it has been named as a PRP and has determined that such
estimated liability is probable. The Superfund Sites are primarily multi-PRP
sites not owned or operated by the Corporation. For the Corporation's
operating plants, an estimated liability is typically recognized either upon
completion of an environmental assessment or when the Corporation proposes an
agreement with the appropriate regulatory agency to take action at a site.
For closed or closing plants owned by the Corporation and properties being
sold, an estimated liability is typically recognized at the time the
restructuring charge is made or sale is recorded and is based on an
environmental assessment of the plant property.
The Corporation periodically evaluates and revises estimates for
environmental obligations based on expenditures against established reserves
and the availability of additional information.

Accounting Change
GMAC adopted SFAS No. 113, Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of
Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts, effective January 1, 1993 and the
resulting increase in the Corporation's assets and liabilities was not
material.
New Accounting Standard
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, which the
Corporation will adopt effective January 1, 1994. The Standard requires
accrual of the costs of benefits provided to former or inactive employees
after employment, but before retirement. The Corporation expects the adoption
of this Standard in 1994 to result in an unfavorable cumulative effect
adjustment which will be material to the Corporation's results of operations
and the Corporation's stockholders' equity. The ongoing incremental effect of
this Standard is not expected to be material.

the New York office building of General Motors was exercised by an unrelated
party and resulted in a pre-tax gain to the Corporation of $610.3 million,
which is included in Other above.

NOTE 3. Stock and Other Incentive Plans
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation's incentive plans consist of the (i) General Motors Amended
1987 Stock Incentive Plan (the "GMSIP"), (ii) the General Motors 1992
Performance Achievement Plan (the "GMPAP"), (iii) the 1984 Electronic Data
Systems Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (the "EDS Plan"), and (iv) the GMHE
Incentive Plan (the "GMHE Plan"). These plans are administered by the
Incentive and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee").
Under the GMSIP, 39.8 million shares of $1-2/3 par value, 12.2 million
shares of Class E, and 5.9 million shares of Class H common stock may be
granted from June 1, 1992 through May 31, 1997 of which 29.9 million, 12.2
million, and 5.6 million shares, respectively, may still be granted at
December 31, 1993. Under this Plan, the Committee may use these shares to
grant either stock options or restricted stock units ("Units"). Options
II-14
31
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
granted under the GMSIP generally are exercisable one-half after one year and
one-half after two years from the dates of grant. Option prices are 100% of
fair market value on the dates of grant, and the options generally expire 10
years from the dates of grant, subject to earlier termination under certain
conditions.
Each Unit relates to one share of $1-2/3 par value, Class E, or Class H
common stock, as determined by the Committee at the time of grant. The Units
entitle the employee to receive, without payment to the Corporation, shares of
common stock or cash of equivalent value in consideration for services
performed. Such Units generally vest in up to three annual installments
commencing on the date of grant. In early 1994, the Committee anticipates
granting awards totaling approximately $9 million to executives at certain
units which had met certain pre-established earnings and operating goals.
Under the GMPAP, the Committee established target awards for the three-
year periods ending in 1994 and 1995. Awards are established based on
Corporation earnings during the award period; the percentage of target awards
ultimately distributed to participants is determined by the Committee based on
actual Corporate results in relation to established goals, and individual
performance. No awards were provided under the GMPAP for award periods ending
in 1991, 1992, or 1993.
Under the EDS Plan, the Committee may grant shares and rights or options
to acquire up to 160 million shares of Class E common stock during the 10 year
life of the EDS Plan of which 108.9 million shares may still be granted at
December 31, 1993. No options were outstanding as of December 31, 1993, 1992,
or 1991. During 1991, approximately 4.3 million shares were exercised at an
option price of $8.955 per share.
Under the EDS Plan, approximately 39.1 million shares of Class E common
stock have also been granted to key employees at stock prices up to $0.025 per
share. Such shares generally vest over a 10-year period from the date of
grant. Approximately 10.5 million shares were not yet vested at December 31,
1993. Approximately $33.8 million, $30.4 million, and $30.6 million in
compensation cost was recognized for these grants and other incentives in
1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
Under the GMHE Plan, the Committee may grant shares, rights, or options to
acquire up to 20 million shares of Class H common stock through May 31, 1995
of which 7.4 million shares may still be granted at December 31, 1993. Option
prices are 100% of fair market value on the dates of grant, and the options
generally expire 10 years from the dates of grant, subject to earlier
termination under certain conditions. Hughes also maintains an annual
incentive plan for certain key employees, under which awards are based on the
subsidiary's operating results and individual performance. Approximately
$43.6 million, $47.7 million, and $44.2 million in compensation cost was
recognized under this plan in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 4. Pensions
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation and its subsidiaries have a number of defined benefit pension
plans covering substantially all employees. Plans covering U.S. and Canadian
represented employees generally provide benefits of negotiated stated amounts
for each year of service as well as significant supplemental benefits for
employees who retire with 30 years of service before normal retirement age.
The benefits provided by the plans covering its U.S. and Canadian salaried
employees, and employees in certain foreign locations, are generally based on
years of service and the employee's salary history. The Corporation and its
subsidiaries also have certain nonqualified pension plans covering executives
which are based on targeted wage replacement percentages and are unfunded.
Plan assets are primarily invested in United States Government
obligations, equity and fixed income securities, commingled pension trust
funds, insurance contracts, and GM $1-2/3 par value and Class E common stock
(valued as of the 1993 measurement date at $1,240.2 million and $775.9
million, respectively). The Corporation's funding policy with respect to its
qualified plans is to contribute annually not less than the minimum required
by applicable law and regulation nor more than the maximum amount which can be
deducted for Federal income tax purposes.
Total pension expense of the Corporation and its subsidiaries amounted to
$2,684.9 million in 1993, $1,981.5 million in 1992, and $1,520.0 million in
1991. Net periodic pension cost for 1993, 1992, and 1991 of U.S. plans and
plans of subsidiaries outside the United States included the components shown

The adjustment for unfunded pension liabilities in excess of the
unamortized prior service cost and net transition obligation was recorded, net
of deferred tax, as a reduction in Stockholders' Equity of $5,311.2 million
and $2,925.3 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The
remaining portion of the unfunded liability of $11,793.9 million and $6,401.7
million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, was recorded as
intangible assets and deferred taxes.
Measurement dates used for the Corporation's principal U.S. plans are
October 1 for GM's plans (including Delco Electronics Corporation) and EDS,
and December 1 for Hughes' plans. For non-U.S. plans, the measurement dates
used are October 1 for certain foreign plans and December 1 for Canadian
plans.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial
present values of the projected benefit obligation shown in the tables for
U.S. plans at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was 7.1% and 8.6%, respectively, and
for non-U.S. plans was 8.0% and 9.6%, respectively. The rate of increase in
future compensation levels for applicable U.S. employees was 5.2% at December
31, 1993 and 4.9% at December 31, 1992 and for applicable non-U.S. employees
was 5.0% at December 31, 1993 and 4.9% at December 31, 1992. Benefits under
the hourly plans are generally not based on wages and therefore no benefit
escalation beyond existing negotiated or anticipated increases was included.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets used in determining pension
expense for U.S. plans was 10.1% for 1993 and 11.0% for 1992, and for non-U.S.
plans was 10.0% for 1993 and 10.7% for 1992.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
The assumptions for non-U.S. plans were developed on a basis consistent with
that for U.S. plans, adjusted to reflect prevailing economic conditions and
interest rate environments.
Programs for early retirement were offered to certain employees during
1993 and 1992. The pension related cost of these programs was $659.3 million
and $564.1 million, respectively, of which $229.4 million and $359.5 million
was expensed during 1993 and 1992, respectively. In 1993, the remainder was
charged against certain training fund accruals, based upon an agreement with
represented hourly employees, and in 1992, the remainder was charged against
prior restructurings.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 5. Other Postretirement Benefits
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1992, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 106, Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement
requires that the cost of such benefits be recognized in the financial
statements during the period employees provide service to the Corporation.
The Corporation's previous practice was to recognize the cost of such
postretirement benefits when incurred (i.e., pay-as-you-go method). The
cumulative effect of this accounting change as of January 1, 1992 was
$33,116.1 million, or $20,837.7 million after-tax ($33.38 per share of $1-2/3
par value and $2.08 per share of Class H common stock). The incremental
ongoing effect in 1992 of this accounting change was to increase the loss
before cumulative effect of accounting changes by $2,198.8 million, or
$1,384.2 million after-tax ($2.05 per share of $1-2/3 par value and $0.11 per
share of Class H common stock). The incremental ongoing effect in 1993
reduced net income by $1,486.8 million after-tax ($2.08 per share of $1-2/3
par value and $0.14 per share of Class H common stock).
The Corporation has disclosed in the financial statements certain amounts
associated with estimated future postretirement benefits other than pensions
and characterized such amounts as "accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations", "liabilities", or "obligations". Notwithstanding the recording
of such amounts and the use of these terms, the Corporation does not admit or
otherwise acknowledge that such amounts or existing postretirement benefit
plans of the Corporation (other than pensions) represent legally enforceable
liabilities of the Corporation.
The Corporation and certain of its domestic subsidiaries maintain hourly
and salaried benefit plans that provide postretirement medical, dental,
vision, and life insurance to retirees and eligible dependents. These
benefits are funded as incurred from the general assets of the Corporation.
At the date of adoption, the substantive terms of such plans were generally
consistent with the written plan provisions, except that the substantive plan
included certain adjustments to the deductibles, co-pays, and premiums paid by
salaried employees, which the Corporation implemented in 1992.
Certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries outside of the United States
have postretirement plans, although most participants are covered by
government sponsored or administered programs, and the postretirement cost of
such programs generally is not significant to the Corporation.
The total non-pension postretirement benefit cost of the Corporation and
its subsidiaries, other than the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 106,
amounted to $4,163.4 million in 1993 and $3,700.7 million in 1992, and
included the components set forth as follows:
(Dollars in Millions) 1993 1992
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benefits earned during the year $811.5 $ 717.9
Interest accrued on benefits earned in prior years 3,177.5 2,982.8
Cost of termination benefits 174.4 -
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total non-pension postretirement benefit cost $4,163.4 $3,700.7

Retiree benefit payments were $1,428.3 million in 1991.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net obligation recognized in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet $37,920.0 $35,550.7
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the
actuarial present value of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
was 7.0% and 8.55% at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. A one
percentage point increase in the weighted average discount rate used in 1993
would decrease the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by
approximately $5,500 million. The assumed weighted average rate of increase
in future compensation levels related to pay-related life insurance benefits
was 4.2% at December 31, 1993 and 4.5% at December 31, 1992.
The assumed weighted average health-care cost trend rate is 9.12% in 1994;
this rate decreases on a linear basis through 2002, reaches an ultimate
weighted average trend rate of 5.5% in 2006, and remains constant thereafter.
The assumed trend rate for 1993 used to determine the December 31, 1992
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation above was 9.7%, although such
1993 trend rate was adjusted to actual in determining the 1993 year-end
obligation. A one percentage point increase in each year of the annual trend
rate would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December 31, 1993 and 1992 by approximately $5,700 million and $4,650 million,
respectively, and increase the service and interest cost components of the
1993 and 1992 postretirement benefit expense by approximately $550 million and
$500 million, respectively.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 6. Special Provision for Scheduled Plant Closings and Other
Restructurings
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 1993 operating results include a pre-tax increase of $950.0 million to the
Corporation's previously announced plant closing reserve ($589.0 million after
taxes, or $0.83 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock). The increase in
the reserve results from changes in assumptions, primarily regarding the
amount and duration of job security and supplemental unemployment benefits
expected to be paid to employees, given the terms of the Corporation's
recently negotiated collective bargaining agreements.
The 1992 operating results included a special restructuring charge of
$1,237.0 million ($749.4 million after taxes, or $0.97 per share of $1-2/3 par
value common stock and $1.87 per share of Class H common stock) primarily
attributable to redundant facilities and related employment costs at Hughes.
The special charge comprehends a reduction of Hughes worldwide employment, a
major facilities consolidation, and a re-evaluation of certain business lines
that no longer meet Hughes' strategic objectives.
II-20

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
In 1991,a special restructuring charge of $2,820.8 million was made to
provide for the closing of plants and other restructuring costs. As a result,
consolidated net loss was increased by $1,777.1 million, or $2.88 per share of
$1-2/3 par value common stock.
During 1993, 1992, and 1991, a net of $1,072.2 million, $974.3 million,
and $512.1 million, respectively, was charged against these reserves.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 7. Profit Sharing Plans
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The profit sharing formula provides a range of percentage payouts when the
Corporation's U.S. income before income taxes plus equity in U.S. earnings of
finance subsidiaries exceeds various minimum annual returns on U.S. sales and
revenues. Both the percentage payout and the minimum returns are as agreed to
by the Corporation and eligible U.S. employees. GM's pre-tax losses from U.S.
operations in 1993, 1992, and 1991 precluded a payment under the profit
sharing formula.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities for 1993 and 1992 reflect the
impact of "temporary differences" between amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities
as measured by tax laws. The net deferred tax asset in the U.S. was $19,549.3
million and $17,390.4 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

NOTE 9. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to
and Dividends on Common Stocks
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings (Loss) per share attributable to common stocks have been determined
based on the relative amounts available for the payment of dividends to
holders of $1-2/3 par value, Class E, and Class H common stocks. The
allocation of earnings (loss) attributable to such common stocks and the
calculation of the related amounts per share are computed by considering the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock
equivalents, to the extent the effect of such equivalents is not antidilutive.
Operations of the incentive plans and the assumed exercise of stock options do
not have a material dilutive effect on earnings per share at this time.
Dividends on the $1-2/3 par value common stock are declared out of the
earnings of GM and its subsidiaries, excluding the Available Separate
Consolidated Net Income (Loss) of EDS and GMHE. Dividends on the Class E and
Class H common stocks are declared out of the Available Separate Consolidated
Net Income (Loss) of EDS and GMHE, respectively, since the acquisition by GM.
The Available Separate Consolidated Net Income (Loss) of EDS and GMHE is
determined quarterly and is equal to the separate consolidated net income
(loss) of EDS and GMHE, respectively, excluding the effects of purchase
accounting adjustments arising at the time of acquisition, multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the weighted average number of shares of
Class E or Class H common stock outstanding during the period and the
denominator of which was 480.6 million shares for Class E and 399.9 million
shares for Class H during the fourth quarter of 1993. Comparable denominators
for 1992 and 1991 were 479.3 million and 478.1 million shares, respectively,
for Class E and 399.9 million shares for Class H in both years.
The denominators used in determining the Available Separate Consolidated
Net Income (Loss) of EDS and GMHE are adjusted as deemed appropriate by the
Board of Directors to reflect subdivisions or combinations of the Class E and
Class H common stocks and to reflect certain transfers of capital to or from
EDS and GMHE. In this regard, the Board has generally caused the denominators
to decrease as shares are purchased by EDS or GMHE, and to increase as such
shares are used, at EDS or GMHE expense, for EDS or GMHE employee benefit
plans or acquisitions.
Dividends may be paid on common stocks only when, as, and if declared by
the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Board's policy with
respect to $1-2/3 par value common stock is to distribute dividends based on
the outlook and the indicated capital needs of the business. The current
policy of the Board with respect to the Class E and Class H common stocks is
to pay cash dividends approximately equal to 30% and 35% of the Available
Separate Consolidated Net Income of EDS and GMHE, respectively, for the prior
year. Notwithstanding the current dividend policy, the Board of Directors
declared a dividend on the Class H common stock for each of the quarters of
1993, 1992, and 1991, which was more than 35% of the Available Separate
Consolidated Net Income (Loss) of GMHE for the prior year.

GMAC sold retail finance receivables through several special purpose
subsidiaries aggregating approximately $13.6 billion, $12.0 billion, and $3.2
billion in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. These subsidiaries generally
retain a subordinated investment of no greater than 9% of the total
receivables pool and market the remaining portion. GMAC absorbs all losses
related to sold receivables to the extent of such subordinated interests. Pre-
tax net gains on such sales (excluding limited recourse loss provisions which
are generally provided for at the time contracts are acquired), which are
recorded in Other Income, amounted to $436.4 million in 1993, $588.8 million
in 1992, and $140.3 million in 1991. GMAC will continue to service these
receivables for a fee.
GMAC's retail installment obligation servicing portfolio (in principal
balance) amounted to $14.9 billion, $10.9 billion, and $3.6 billion at
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The fair values of retained
subordinated interests in trusts as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 were $757.8
million and $822.1 million, respectively. Excess servicing assets, net of
deferred costs, have a fair value of $477.4 million and $438.6 million at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The foregoing market valuations
were derived by discounting expected cash flows using current market rates.
The fair value of finance receivables at December 31, 1993 and 1992 was
$54,646.3 million and $67,526.9 million, respectively, $771.6 million and
$1,212.8 million, respectively, above the carrying value, estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using applicable spreads to approximate
current rates applicable to each category of finance receivables. The
carrying value of wholesale receivables and other receivables whose interest
rates adjust on a short-term basis with applicable market indices (generally
the prime rate) were assumed to approximate fair value either due to their
short maturities or due to the interest rate adjustment feature.

In May 1993, the Corporation, certain subsidiaries, and affiliates entered
separate revolving credit facilities with various bank groups, which provided
committed lines of up to $20.6 billion; approximately $11.1 billion of the
total commitment was to mature in four years, $4.5 billion in five years, and
the remainder in one year. The facilities provide for facility fees averaging
0.24% over the term of the agreements, based on the Corporation's current
credit rating.
The facilities also contain certain covenants. In management's opinion,
the Corporation and its subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants
at December 31, 1993.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain other bank lines of credit
that are supported by bank commitment fees and compensating balances against
certain lines of credit.
Compensating balances, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions,
are maintained at a level required to provide the same income that a fee would
generate. Total commitment fees incurred by the Corporation amounted to $44.5
million in 1993, $28.5 million in 1992, and $22.7 million in 1991. Total
compensating balances maintained by the Corporation averaged $87.2 million in
1993 and $31.2 million in 1992.
At December 31, 1993, unused short-term credit facilities totaled
approximately $14.7 billion and unused long-term credit facilities totaled
approximately $18.2 billion.
Short-term borrowings are primarily entered into by GMAC. Commercial
paper is offered in the United States and Europe in varying terms ranging up
to 270 days. The weighted average interest rates on commercial paper at
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991 were 3.56%, 4.47%, and 5.44%, respectively.
Master notes represent borrowings on a demand basis arranged generally under
agreements with trust departments of certain banks. The weighted average
interest rates on master notes at December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991 were
3.30%, 4.18%, and 4.24%, respectively. Commercial paper and master notes
obligations were $14,521.1 million and $467.8 million, respectively, at
December 31, 1993 and $16,871.9 million and $873.1 million, respectively, at
December 31, 1992.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the fair value of the debt payable within
one year was $36,732.2 million and $42,825.2 million, respectively, determined
by using quoted market prices, if available, or calculating the estimated
value of each bank loan, note, or debenture in the portfolio at the applicable
rate in effect on December 31, 1993 and 1992. Commercial paper, master notes,
and demand notes have an original term of less than 90 days and, therefore,
the carrying amount of these liabilities is considered fair value. Debt
payable beyond one year has an estimated fair value of $35,853.4 million and
$40,861.6 million at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, based on quoted
market prices for the same or similar issues or based on the current rates
offered to the Corporation for debt of similar remaining maturities.

NOTE 16. Stockholders' Equity
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In May 1993, GM redeemed all of the $5.00 Series and $3.75 Series of Preferred
Stock outstanding for $265.0 million. In authorizing the redemption, the
Board of Directors determined that the action would provide additional
financial flexibility to the Corporation by eliminating certain covenants
contained in the terms of the Preferred Stock.
The General Motors Board of Directors at its meeting in August 1993
authorized the redemption of all GM Series E-I Preference Stock effective
September 15, 1993 at $57.25 per share. The GM Series E-I Preference Stock
was originally contributed to GM's pension plans in September 1987 and sold by
the plans to the public in March 1991. Prior to this redemption, all but 301
shares had been converted at a rate of one share for four shares of Class E
common stock. In 1992, 11,400 Series E-I shares and all outstanding shares of
Series E-II and Series E-III were exchanged by the holders thereof on a one-
II-31
48
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
for-four basis into Class E common shares. Immediately prior to redemption or
conversion, the Series E-I, E-II and E-III preference stocks earned a
quarterly preferential dividend of $0.715 per share. The Series E-II and E-
III preference stocks, prior to September 15, 1991 and 1992, respectively,
earned dividends equivalent to four times the dividends declared and paid on
Class E common stock.
The holders of Series A Conversion Preference Stock (Preference Equity
Redemption Cumulative Stock or PERCS) receive a $3.31 per share annual
dividend and are required to convert each PERCS into one share of $1-2/3 par
value common stock on July 1, 1994 unless GM calls the issue prior to that
date. The conversion rate is based on a formula which limits the ultimate
value of the PERCS to $53.79 per share. If GM calls the PERCS, investors will
receive a value of $53.79 per PERCS plus a call premium which declines to zero
on May 1, 1994. The call price is payable, at GM's option, in either $1-2/3
par value common stock or cash.
Holders of Series C Depositary Shares each representing ownership of one-
tenth of a share of Series C Convertible Preference Stock, $0.10 par value,
are entitled to receive cumulative preferential dividends from the date of
issue at the quarterly rate of $8.125 per share. The Series C Preference
Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of
Class E common stock at a conversion price of $35.52 per share of Class E
common stock. At any time on or after February 19, 1996, GM may, at its
option, call any or all of the outstanding Series C Preference Stock, at
specified prices declining to $500 per share in 2002 and thereafter, payable
in cash, in shares of $1-2/3 par value common stock, or in a specified
combination thereof.
Holders of $1-2/3 par value, Class E, and Class H common stocks are
entitled to one, one-eighth, and one-half vote per share, respectively, on all
matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The liquidation rights of
common stockholders are based on per-share liquidation units of the various
classes and are subject to certain adjustments if outstanding common stock is
subdivided, by stock split or otherwise, or if shares of one class of common
stock are issued as a dividend to holders of another class of common stock.
At December 31, 1993, each share of $1-2/3 par value, Class E, and Class H
common stocks was entitled to a liquidation unit of approximately one, one-
eighth, and one-half, respectively. Holders of GM Class E and Class H common
stock have no direct rights in the equity or assets of EDS or GMHE, but rather
have rights in the equity and assets of GM (which includes 100% of the stock
of EDS and GMHE).
GM's Certificate of Incorporation provides, generally, that if at any time
GM should sell, liquidate, or otherwise dispose of substantially all of EDS,
Hughes, or the other business of GMHE, shares of the Corporation's $1-2/3 par
value common stock will automatically be exchanged for Class E or Class H
common stock, respectively.
After December 31, 1994 or December 31, 1995, the Board of Directors may
exchange $1-2/3 par value common stock for Class E or Class H common stock,
respectively, if the Board has declared and paid certain minimum cash
dividends during each of the last five years preceding the exchange.
In the event any of the aforementioned exchanges were to occur, the Class
E or Class H common stockholders would receive $1-2/3 par value common stock
having a market value at the time of the exchange equal to 120% of the market
value of the Class E or Class H common stock exchanged.
At December 31, 1993, consolidated net income retained for use in the
business (accumulated deficit) attributable to $1-2/3 par value, Class E, and
Class H common stocks was ($4,080.1) million, $1,344.3 million, and $732.9
million, respectively. At December 31, 1993, the Corporation's capital
surplus less accumulated deficit was $4,870.0 million, $3,243.8 million, and
$1,886.7 million on $1-2/3 par value, Class E, and Class H common stocks,
respectively, as allocated pursuant to GM's Certificate of Incorporation.
However, consistent with Delaware law, which governs the amount legally
available for the payment of dividends on the Corporation's common stock, the
Board of Directors has determined that such amount is materially higher than
the Corporation's capital surplus less accumulated deficit.

Corporation holds an option to call the Institute's shares from March 1, 1989
until February 28, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1995 for 20 million, 10 million, 10.5
million, and 15 million shares, respectively, at a call price of $35 per share
for all shares except for the 15 million shares callable until February 28,
1995, for which the call price is $37.50 per share. The Institute exercised
the put options in 1991, 1992, and 1993.
During 1992 and 1991, certain redeemable Series H preference stocks
totaling $243.9 million and $225.1 million were redeemed by the holders of
such securities.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the fair value of the Corporation's stock
repurchase obligation was $429.0 million and $708.5 million, respectively,
based on discounted cash flows assuming redemption by the Institute at the
specified exercise date. At the closing Class H common stock price at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the shares subject to repurchase would be valued
at $585.0 million and $656.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 17. Segment Reporting
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industry Segments
While the major portion of the Corporation's operations is derived from the
automotive products industry segment, GM also has financing and insurance
operations and produces products and provides services in other industry
segments. The automotive products segment consists of the design,
manufacture, assembly, and sale of automobiles, trucks, and related parts and
accessories. The financing and insurance operations assist in the
merchandising of General Motors' products as well as other products. GMAC and
its subsidiaries, as well as certain other subsidiaries of GM, offer financial
services and certain types of insurance to dealers and customers. In
addition, GMAC and its subsidiaries are engaged in mortgage banking and
investment services. The other products segment consists of military
vehicles, radar and weapon control systems, guided missile systems, and
defense and commercial satellites; the design, installation, and operation of
business information and telecommunication systems; as well as the design,
development, and manufacture of locomotives. Because of the high degree of
integration, substantial interdivisional and intersegment transfers of
materials and services are made. Intersegment sales and revenues are made at
negotiated selling prices.
Substantially all of the products in the automotive segment are marketed
through retail dealers and through distributors and jobbers in the United
States and Canada and through distributors and dealers overseas.
Information concerning operations by industry segment is displayed below
and on the next page.

NOTE 18. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to reduce its exposure to fluctuations
in interest and foreign exchange rates and to meet the financing needs of its
customers. The financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
forward exchange and interest rate forward contracts (e.g., swap agreements),
and options. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit, interest rate, and exchange risk in excess of the amounts recognized
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in
particular classes of financial instruments.
Foreign Exchange-Forward Contracts and Options
Foreign exchange forward contracts are legal agreements between two parties to
purchase and sell a foreign currency, for a price specified at the contract
date, with delivery and settlement in the future. The Corporation uses such
contracts to hedge risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
associated with certain assets and obligations denominated in foreign
currency. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Corporation held contracts of
approximately $12,253 million and $11,682 million, respectively.
To hedge its foreign currency exposure, the Corporation also purchases
foreign exchange options which permit but do not require the Corporation to
exchange foreign currencies at a future date with another party at a
contracted exchange rate. To cover premiums paid on such options, from time
to time the Corporation may also write offsetting options at exercise prices
which limit but do not eliminate the effect of purchased options and forward
contracts as a hedge. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Corporation had
entered foreign exchange options of approximately $2,144 million and $2,241
million, respectively.
The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts is estimated by
obtaining quotes for future contracts with similar terms, adjusted where
necessary for maturity differences, and was a net asset (liability) of
approximately $2 million and ($60) million at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. The fair value of foreign exchange options is estimated using
active exchange quotations for most options, and pricing models for illiquid
options, and was a net asset of approximately $1 million and $11 million at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. However, such fair values are
offset by gains or losses on assets and liabilities hedged by such contracts
and options so that there is no significant difference between the recorded
value and fair value of the Corporation's net foreign exchange position.
Interest Rate and Mortgage Contracts
The Corporation primarily utilizes interest rate forward contracts or options
to manage its interest rate exposure. Interest rate forward contracts are
contractual agreements between the Corporation and another party to exchange
fixed and floating interest rate payments periodically over the life of the
agreements without the exchange of underlying principal amounts. Interest
rate options generally permit but do not require the purchaser of the option
to exchange interest payments in the future. At December 31, 1993 and 1992,
the total notional amount of such agreements with off-balance-sheet risk was
approximately $11,139 million and $6,620 million, respectively, and the fair
value of such agreements was a net liability of approximately $31 million and
$47 million, respectively.
The Corporation has also entered contracts to purchase and sell mortgages
or mortgage-backed securities at specific future dates. Such delivery and
purchase contracts totaled approximately $2,139 million and $1,796 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1993 and $2,065 million and $1,188 million,
respectively, at December 31, 1992.
II-42
59
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Unused Lines of Credit
The Corporation grants revolving lines of credit to dealers; unused amounts
under these lines were $301.1 million at December 31, 1993 and $458.1 million
at December 31, 1992. Commitments supported by collateral, generally dealer
inventories and real estate, were approximately 44% and 55%, respectively, of
the total commitments at December 31, 1993 and 1992. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without use, total committed amounts do not
necessarily represent the Corporation's future liquidity requirements.
Credit Risk
The forward contracts, options, and lines of credit previously discussed
contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the
terms of the agreements. However, the Corporation minimizes such risk
exposure for forward contracts and options by limiting the counterparties to
major international banks and financial institutions. Management also reduces
its credit risk for unused lines of credit by applying the same credit
policies in making commitments as it does for extending loans. Management
does not expect to record any losses as a result of counterparty default. The
Corporation does not require or place collateral for these financial
instruments, except for the lines of credit.
General Motors has business activities with customers, dealers, and
associates around the world, and its receivables from and guarantees to such
parties are well diversified and, in many cases, secured by collateral.
Consequently, in management's opinion, no significant concentration of credit
risk exists for the Corporation.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 19. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum future commitments under operating leases having noncancellable lease
terms in excess of one year, primarily for real property, aggregating $6,658.8
million, are payable $951.8 million in 1994, $862.2 million in 1995, $658.0
million in 1996, $590.6 million in 1997, $558.0 million in 1998, and $3,038.2
million in 1999 and thereafter. Certain of the leases contain escalation
clauses and renewal or purchase options. Rental expenses under operating
leases were $1,343.1 million in 1993, $1,338.4 million in 1992, and $1,099.6
million in 1991.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to potential liability
under government regulations and various claims and legal actions which are
pending or may be asserted against them. Some of the pending actions purport
to be class actions. The aggregate ultimate liability of the Corporation and
its subsidiaries under these government regulations, and under these claims
and actions, was not determinable at December 31, 1993. In the opinion of
management, such liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the Corporation's consolidated operations or financial position.

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the competitive position and environmental matters
discussions included in Part I, Item 1, which are specifically incorporated by
reference herein.
Even with a charge of $950.0 million for previously announced plant
closings, GM exceeded its breakeven target for North American Automotive
Operations (NAO) in 1993 before interest, taxes, and noncash retiree health-
care expenses (EBIT). That represents an $11.1 billion turnaround in NAO from
1991. After deducting such items, however, NAO reported a net loss on a
geographic basis of $981.9 million, which was offset by the profits of GM's
other business sectors.
General Motors reported consolidated net income in 1993 of $2,465.8
million, or $2.13 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock, an improvement
of $25,964.1 million, or $40.41 per share, over the net loss in 1992. In
1992, General Motors reported a net loss of $23,498.3 million, or $38.28 per
share of $1-2/3 par value common stock, compared with a net loss in 1991 of
$4,452.8 million, or $7.97 per share.
All three years contained certain special items. The 1993 results
included an after-tax increase of $589.0 million in the Corporation's
previously announced plant closing reserve, labor contract-related costs of
$143.8 million after tax, primarily reflecting the recognition of lump-sum
payments to retirees to be made in 1995 and 1996, and a loss of $189.5 million
on the sale of the Allison Gas Turbine Division (AGT). These unfavorable
special items were partially offset by the $444.3 million favorable impact of
the increase in the U.S. corporate income tax rate. The higher tax rate
resulted in a benefit due to the Corporation's deferred tax position. The net
unfavorable effect of the special items in 1993 was $478.0 million, or $0.66
per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock.
The operating results in 1992 were severely affected by the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The total
unfavorable cumulative effect of this accounting change was $20,837.7 million,
or $33.38 per $1-2/3 par value share and $2.08 per share of Class H common
stock. The adoption of SFAS No. 106 had no effect on cash flow since the
Corporation continues its practice of paying postretirement benefits (other
than pensions) when incurred. Nonetheless, General Motors is committed to
reducing the burden of continuing health-care cost increases.
The Corporation has disclosed in the financial statements certain amounts
associated with estimated future postretirement benefits other than pensions
and characterized such amounts as "accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations," "liabilities," or "obligations." Notwithstanding the recording
of such amounts and the use of these terms, the Corporation does not admit or
otherwise acknowledge that such amounts or existing postretirement benefit
plans of the Corporation (other than pensions) represent legally enforceable
liabilities of the Corporation.
Additionally, several nonrecurring charges to earnings were recorded
during 1992. GM reduced the basis of its investment in National Car Rental
System Inc. (NCRS) and incurred a charge to earnings of $744.1 million after
taxes, or $1.11 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock. GM also
recognized a $165.1 million gain on the sale of its equity investment in
Daewoo Motor Co., or $0.25 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock. The
1992 loss included a one-time special restructuring charge of $749.4 million
after taxes, or $0.97 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock and $1.87 per
share of Class H common stock, primarily attributable to redundant facilities
and related employment costs at Hughes Aircraft Company (Hughes).
Also effective January 1, 1992, Hughes changed its revenue recognition
policy for certain commercial businesses from the percentage-of-completion
(cost-to-cost) method to the units-of-delivery method resulting in an
unfavorable effect of $40.0 million, or $0.05 per share of $1-2/3 par value
II-52

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
and $0.10 per share of Class H common stock. The net unfavorable effect of
the special items (including accounting changes) in 1992 amounted to $22,206.1
million, or $35.26 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock.
The 1991 loss included a special restructuring charge of $1,777.1 million
after taxes, or $2.88 per $1-2/3 par value share, to provide for the future
costs of closing certain North American plants and other restructurings. Also
included was a $170.9 million after-tax special wholesale loss provision
recorded by General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC), or an unfavorable
$0.28 per share.
Effective January 1, 1991, GM adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. The total favorable (unfavorable) cumulative effect of this accounting
change was $232.7 million, or $0.38 per $1-2/3 par value share, ($0.03) per
share of Class E, and $0.09 per share of Class H common stock. Also effective
January 1, 1991, accounting procedures were changed to include in inventory
general purpose spare parts previously charged directly to expense. This
change provides a better matching of costs with related revenues. The
favorable cumulative effect of the change was $306.5 million after taxes, or
$0.50 per $1-2/3 par value share and $0.04 per Class H share. Results for
1991 also included the favorable impact after taxes of $402.8 million, or
$0.66 per $1-2/3 par value share, from the sale of the General Motors New York
building. The net unfavorable effect of the special items in 1991 amounted to
$1,006.0 million, or $1.62 per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock.
Excluding special items in these years, GM had income of $2,943.8 million
in 1993, compared to losses of $1,292.2 million in 1992 and $3,446.8 million
in 1991. After considering preferred and preference stock dividend payments
and the apportionment of earnings attributable to GM Class E and Class H
common stock, this represents income per share of $2.79 on $1-2/3 par value
common stock in 1993 and losses per share of $3.02 in 1992 and $6.35 in 1991.
Results in 1992 and 1991 reflected an industry sales slump and the continuing
high cost of customer rebates and incentives in North America.

1991 excluding the special restructuring charge at Hughes and the impact of
SFAS No. 106.
GM sales and revenues increased 4.5% to $138.2 billion in 1993 and 7.4% to
$132.2 billion in 1992. Dollar sales and revenues include price adjustments
of $3.6 billion in 1993, $2.5 billion in 1992, and $3.1 billion in 1991.
Profit (loss) margin - income (loss) before cumulative effect of accounting
changes as a percent of sales and revenues - with GMAC on an equity basis -
was 2.0% in 1993, (2.4%) in 1992, and (4.3%) in 1991. Cost of sales and other
operating charges as a percent of net sales and revenues - with GMAC on an
equity basis - was 85.0% in 1993, 88.9% in 1992, and 89.5% in 1991.
Based on its new reporting policy of wholesale sales (where sold) rather
than factory sales (where produced), GM reported worldwide wholesale sales of
vehicles of 7,785,000 units in 1993, up 1.3% from 1992, despite lower industry
sales, with GM's worldwide market share up slightly from 1992. GM unit sales
rose 7.9% in the United States but declined 5.2% in other North American
countries and 7.9% overseas. Worldwide wholesale sales of vehicles were
7,685,000 units in 1992, up 3.8% from 1991, due to higher industry sales with
GM's worldwide market share about the same as 1991. GM unit sales rose 3.1%
in the United States and 7.7% overseas but declined 9.4% in other North
American countries in 1992.
GM's worldwide wholesale sales of cars in 1993 were 5,169,000 units, down
1.1% from 1992. Truck sales were 2,616,000 units, a 6.4% increase. GM's
worldwide wholesale sales of cars in 1992 were 5,227,000 units, down 1.0% from
1991. Truck sales were 2,458,000 units, a 15.7% increase.

NAO made substantial progress over the past year, reflecting the first
major steps toward restoration of financial health. Early in 1993, the NAO
Strategy Board, which was instituted as part of the major reorganization that
GM undertook in 1992, developed and communicated objectives in four key areas:
profitability, product quality, organizational consolidation, and cost
reduction. Achievement of these objectives resulted in an improvement in NAO
performance which surpassed what many thought possible at the beginning of the
year.
Specifically, in terms of profitability (before accounting changes), NAO's
1993 loss of $981.9 million, on a geographic basis, represents a $4.7 billion
improvement over 1992 and a $7.3 billion improvement over 1991. This
improvement was realized despite an almost $1 billion ($589.0 million after-
tax) increase to the plant closing reserve. In addition, the improvement was
made despite a decline in total U.S. vehicle market share which, in large
measure, reflected NAO's planned reduction in low-profit fleet sales to daily
rental companies.
GM's share of total U.S. vehicle unit deliveries declined to 33.2% in 1993
from 33.9% in 1992 and 34.8% in 1991. The Corporation's share of U.S. car
deliveries was 34.4% in 1993, 34.9% in 1992, and 35.9% in 1991. GM's share of
truck deliveries was 31.4% in 1993, 32.2% in 1992, and 32.9% in 1991.
Incentives decreased $1,336.0 million in 1993 from 1992 and $326.3 million in
1992 from 1991.

In terms of NAO's second objective, improved product quality, NAO led the
industry in sales satisfaction and held a position among the leaders in
service satisfaction. In addition, NAO made substantial progress toward "best-
in-class" initial product quality by applying best practices throughout
assembly, stamping, and component plants.

NAO's 1993 performance also reflected achievement of organizational
consolidation objectives. Specifically, by consolidating five car platforms
to three (excluding Saturn) - small, midsize, and large/luxury front-wheel
drive - NAO continued progress toward achieving economies of scale and
eliminating duplication. NAO is also consolidating 11 truck product
development locations into one, which will provide a competitive edge and play
a major role in ensuring NAO's leadership in the truck market. Finally, the
NAO Technical Center was reorganized as the nucleus of a project team approach
to product development. Each individual center will include a core team of
experts from purchasing and finance, as well as the platforms and suppliers,
which will serve as the mechanism for implementing common systems and
processes, as well as best practices, across NAO.
Throughout 1993, the entire NAO organization focused on cutting costs in
all areas. The new worldwide purchasing organization continued to have a most
significant impact as 27 different purchasing units were consolidated into
one. Versus 1991, NAO has realized savings in raw materials, components, and
other supplies of more than $4 billion by identifying more opportunities for
cost savings and efficiency through common parts and common sourcing.
NAO is also cutting costs and improving competitiveness in the component
parts business. Throughout 1993, focus in the Automotive Components Group
(ACG) was placed on cost cutting, divestiture of certain units, and aggressive
procurement of new non-GM business. The ACG continues to adhere to the
portfolio strategy communicated last year by concentrating on businesses that
are strategic, offer growth potential, and are competitive.
Lean manufacturing remained a crucial cost improvement strategy for 1993.
NAO continued efforts to eliminate excess capacity, and specific plans have
been developed to move all plants to world-class productivity levels. In 1993
alone, NAO reduced assembly hours per vehicle by 13 percent.
This improved productivity has enabled NAO to offset costs associated with
its labor contracts, the most recent negotiations of which were concluded in
November 1993. Under the new labor agreement with the UAW, GM's financial
exposure to job and income security costs for hourly employees increased to
$3.93 billion, consisting of a new cap of $3.35 billion established jointly
for the protected employees program (formerly Job Opportunity Bank Security
(JOBS)) and the Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB) program, and an
additional $580 million for the SUB program if the joint cap is reached. The
new contract also provides for backup funding of $438 million for the SUB
program if the $3.93 billion is expended. Similar backup funding was
available under the prior contract and was not utilized. Finally, a cap of
$225 million was maintained for the Guaranteed Income Stream program, which
was utilized marginally in the prior contract. During the 1990 contract, the
entire $1.7 billion in the JOBS cap was spent, as well as nearly all of the
$1.65 billion in the SUB cap. In terms of wage provisions, the new contract
provided for a 3% general wage increase in 1993, augmented by 25 cents per
hour for skilled trades employees. Supplementing the wage increase will be 3%
lump-sum payments in each of the second and third years of the agreement.
While GM agreed to certain "industry pattern" wage provisions, job and
income security programs, and pension benefits, GM gained more flexibility in
utilizing people where they are needed, in attaining its organizational
restructuring goals, and in using accelerated attrition to bring down job
security costs. Throughout the year and in labor negotiations, NAO worked to
support mutual attitudes of cooperation to promote competitiveness. NAO's
challenge going forward will be to work together with the unions to be more
creative in managing labor resources.
NAO has already made substantial progress in reducing both salaried and
hourly employment in the United States and Canada. Salaried employment was
71,400 at the end of 1993, down from 79,600 at the end of 1992 and 91,600 at
the end of 1991. Hourly employment in the U.S. and Canada declined to 290,400
at the end of 1993, down from 316,400 in 1992 and 331,600 in 1991. In
December 1992, GM and the United Auto Workers reached agreement to offer an
early retirement incentive plan aimed at reducing hourly employment. This
plan was offered in the first quarter of 1993 and accepted by 16,500 hourly
employees.

By meeting the profitability, product quality, organizational
consolidation, and cost reduction objectives outlined by the NAO Strategy
Board, the NAO organization demonstrated its capability. With action plans
and structural changes now in place, the focus over the ensuing years will be
on execution.
GM's International Automotive Operations (IO) were profitable in 1993 and
1992, although results trailed the high profit levels achieved in 1991.
Income of IO before accounting changes was $1,224.9 million in 1993 versus
$1,514.5 million in 1992 and $1,468.7 million in 1991. Results in 1993
reflected record sales and profits in GM's Latin American Operations (LAO).
Europe remained profitable despite an extremely difficult economic climate,
but profits were below 1992 levels. The decline in 1993 earnings was
primarily attributable to a European car market decline of 16.5%.
During 1993, Europe's vehicle unit deliveries declined by 10.5%, although
GM increased its car and truck market share to 12.6% in 1993 from 11.8% in
1992 and 11.3% in 1991. By increasing its overall passenger car market share
to 13.4% in 1993, up from 12.7% in 1992, and 12.2% in 1991, GM maintained
second place among all manufacturers of passenger cars in Western Europe.
This was the fifth straight year of increased market share for Opel/Vauxhall
in Western Europe. The technically identical Opel/Vauxhall model range
maintained its number one position in the Western European car market in 1993.
Opel's market share increased in 13 different countries. The successful
launch of the new Corsa attributed significantly to this favorable market
share development, while the Astra was again GM's largest selling model line
in Europe, maintaining its position as the second-best-selling car in Europe.
Progress was made in restructuring Saab's operations during 1993.
Improvements in cost efficiency and productivity ensured a successful launch
in 1993 of the new Saab 900, Saab Automobile AB's first all-new product since
the joint venture company was established in 1990.

LAO's performance exceeded all previous records on sales and financial
fronts. By capitalizing on market openings throughout the region, with all-
time record deliveries of over 402,000 units (up 28% vs. 1992), GM was able to
maintain its market share at 18%. Led by GM do Brasil's sales increase (45%),
LAO was able to post all-time record net income and operating profits and
records were also established in GM operations in both Venezuela and Colombia.
GM Chile also achieved its second best year in history. LAO is poised for
the future as it re-established its manufacturing presence in Argentina to
take advantage of market growth. All this was accomplished amidst substantial
political uncertainty and increased competitive pressures from Eastern
European and Asian entries.
While attaining an 18% increase in unit deliveries in 1992 (versus 1991)
to 314,000 units, GM continued to strengthen its financial position in Latin
America by posting record operating profit as well. The region also benefited
from a relatively low effective tax rate in 1993.
Improved sales in Brazil, as well as record sales in Chile and Ecuador,
combined with significant year-to-year increases in Venezuela, Colombia, and
Argentina, all contributed to GM's 18.0% regional market share - its highest
overseas. Sustained levels of sales and profitability in Latin America are
highly dependent upon economic and political conditions in the region.
In the Asia-Pacific region, financial performance was favorable despite
substantial new business development costs incurred in expanding GM's
operations in the rapid-growth economies of China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
In Japan, the re-launch of Opel products in partnership with Yanase & Company
resulted in record sales. In Taiwan, local assembly of the very popular Opel
Astra commenced in May 1993 and, in September, a joint venture was formed in
Indonesia, where assembly of Opel models is planned for 1994. The VR
Commodore launched in mid-1993 by GM Holden's was named Car of the Year in
Australia.
General Motors Acceptance Corporation
GMAC, in its role as a partner with General Motors and GM dealers, serves
the financing and insurance needs of GM customers. Reference should be made
to the condensed GMAC financial statements included in Note 12 to the
Financial Statements. The Corporation hereby incorporates by reference the
GMAC 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Consolidated net income of GMAC for 1993 totaled $981.1 million, an
increase of $45.0 million over 1992. Earnings for 1992 reflect an unfavorable
cumulative effect of an accounting change related to implementation of SFAS
No. 106 which reduced 1992 net income by $282.6 million. Excluding the
nonrecurring impact of SFAS No. 106, GMAC's 1993 earnings declined by $237.6
million year to year. Net income of $1,369.7 million in 1991 included a
$331.5 million favorable cumulative effect of an accounting change relative to
implementation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and a $170.9
million after-tax special wholesale loss provision. Excluding special items,
1992 income was $1,218.7 million compared to $1,209.1 million in 1991.
Net income from financing operations totaled $790.6 million in 1993,
compared with $1,011.6 million in 1992, excluding the cumulative impact of
SFAS No. 106. The decrease in earnings in 1993 is primarily attributable to
lower asset levels and tighter net interest rate margins in North America (net
of depreciation expense on operating lease vehicles), partially offset by
higher earnings outside North America. Net income from financing operations
in 1992 compared favorably with 1991 levels of $865.9 million (excluding the
cumulative impact of SFAS No. 109) due to a special wholesale loss provision
reported in 1991.
Total financing revenue was $8,752.0 million for 1993, $1,650.1 million
below 1992 amounts. Revenue from retail and lease financing was $3,673.4
million, down 33.3%, while revenue from leasing operations increased 9.7% to
$3,870.9 million. Financing revenue from wholesale and term loans declined
$159.5 million from 1992 levels. Total financing revenue amounted to
$10,402.1 million in 1992, a 6.7%

decrease from 1991. Revenue from retail and lease financing was $5,507.0
million, down 20.5%, while revenue from leasing operations increased 29.2% to
$3,527.9 million. Financing revenue from wholesale and term loans remained
relatively stable at $1,367.2 million.
Insurance premiums earned by Motors Insurance Corporation totaling $1,107.2
million decreased $52.5 million and $80.5 million from 1992 and 1991 levels,
respectively. Interest and discount expense declined 19.0% to $4,721.2
million in 1993 and 14.8% to $5,828.6 million in 1992 as a result of the
continued downward trend in U.S. interest rates and the lower level of
borrowings. Net interest margin (including depreciation expense) declined
$815.1 million to $1,328.8 million in 1993 and $262.5 million to $2,143.9
million in 1992, reflecting lower earning asset levels attributable to GMAC's
asset securitization strategy and narrowing spreads in the U.S. This was
partially offset by wider spreads in GMAC's international operations.
Total earning assets of GMAC were $74,783.8 million at December 31, 1993,
down 14.2% from year-end 1992. The reduced level of earning assets reflects
lower financing levels of new GM cars and trucks in the U.S. in 1993, as well
as the sales of receivables. During 1993 and 1992, GMAC sold and securitized
finance receivables with principal amounting to $13.6 billion and $12.0
billion, respectively.
In the U.S., GMAC financed 28% of new GM vehicles delivered by GM dealers
during 1993, down 5 percentage points from 1992 and 7 percentage points from
1991. GMAC's total borrowings were $62,773.2 million at December 31, 1993, a
15.8% decrease from the prior year-end. Approximately 80.0% of 1993
borrowings supported United States operations.
The provision for finance losses amounted to $300.8 million in 1993, a
decrease of $70.2 million and $747.1 million from 1992 and 1991, respectively,
reflecting a lower level of finance receivables outstanding, a $275 million
pre-tax nonrecurring special wholesale loss provision in 1991, and better loss
performance trends in all segments of GMAC's businesses.
Electronic Data Systems Corporation
Reference should be made to EDS' Management's Discussion and Analysis in
Exhibit 99(a) which is incorporated herein by reference.
EDS achieved record earnings for the eighth consecutive year, reflecting
continued strong performance in its existing businesses as well as growth in
new markets. Separate consolidated net income increased 13.9% to $724.0
million in 1993 and 16.1% to $635.5 million in 1992 over $547.5 million in
1991. Earnings per share attributable to Class E common stock were $1.51 in
1993 and $1.33 in 1992, up from $1.17 before the cumulative effect of an
accounting change in 1991, and are based on the Available Separate
Consolidated Net Income of EDS (described in Note 9 to the Financial
Statements).
EDS is a world leader in systems integration and communications services.
Revenues from sources outside GM and its affiliates rose 7.5% in 1993 to
$5,238.1 million and 30.3% in 1992 to $4,870.4 million and comprised 61.2% and
59.3%, respectively, of all EDS revenues. In addition, EDS continued to
assist GM in a variety of re-engineering processes being implemented in the
Corporation's factories and offices.
EDS financial statements do not include the amortization of the $2,179.5
million initial cost to GM of EDS customer contracts, computer software
programs, and other intangible assets, including goodwill, arising from the
acquisition of EDS by GM in 1984. This cost, plus the $343.2 million cost of
contingent notes purchased in 1986, less certain income tax benefits, was
assigned principally to intangible assets, including goodwill, and is being
amortized by GM over the estimated useful lives of the assets acquired. Such
amortization, charged against Other Sector income, was $34.9 million in 1993
and 1992, and $169.4 million in 1991.

GM Hughes Electronics Corporation
Reference should be made to GMHE's Management's Discussion and Analysis in
Exhibit 99(b) which is incorporated herein by reference.
GMHE reported earnings of $921.6 million in 1993. This compares with a
loss of $921.6 million in 1992 which included the restructuring charge and
accounting changes for postretirement benefits and revenue recognition
described previously, and earnings of $559.4 million in 1991 which included
the accounting changes for general purpose spare parts and income taxes
described previously. Excluding these special items, GMHE earnings in 1992
and 1991 would have been $699.9 million and $505.0 million, respectively.
Revenues increased 9.9% to $13,517.5 million in 1993 and 6.6% to $12,297.1
million in 1992. Revenue increases in 1993 were primarily due to a full year
of operations of the missile business acquired in August 1992 and to the
increased production volumes and electronic content per vehicle in the
automotive electronics segment. The improvement in operating results was due
to the aforementioned revenue increase, cost reductions, and improved margins
in both the automotive electronics and defense segments.
II-61

GMHE participates in four major business segments: automotive electronics,
telecommunications and space, defense electronics, and commercial
technologies. Revenues for the automotive electronics sector were $4,491.6
million, up 12.7% from $3,985.8 million in 1992 and $3,660.4 million in 1991.
Telecommunications and space revenues were $2,178.0 million, a 13.0% increase
over the 1992 total of $1,927.9 million and a 17.9% increase over 1991.
Defense electronics revenues for 1993 were $6,112.1 million compared with
$5,547.0 million in 1992 and $5,325.1 million in 1991. Commercial
technologies 1993 revenues were $735.8 million, a 12.0% decrease from 1992 but
a 4.0% increase over 1991. In 1993, GMHE's business mix was 33% automotive,
16% telecommunications and space, 45% defense, and 6% commercial, compared to
32%, 16%, 45%, and 7%, respectively, in 1992 and 32%, 16%, 46%, and 6%,
respectively, in 1991. GMHE also provides direct support to GM by supplying
components and technologies for GM vehicles.
In July 1993, GMHE sold its 30% ownership interest in the Japan
Communications Satellite Company which resulted in a $89.7 million pre-tax
gain. In December 1993, GMHE sold Hughes Rediffusion Simulation Limited and
related entities which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $55.0 million. Amounts
for 1992 include a $28.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of assets to Hughes-
JVC Technology Corporation and $35.0 million of pre-tax income from a patent
infringement settlement. In August 1992, GMHE acquired the missile business
of General Dynamics Corporation (GD) for 21.5 million shares of Class H common
stock valued at $450.0 million and cash of $62.8 million. Subsequently, GD
sold those shares as part of a 29.1 million share public offering of Class H
common stock. The principal purpose of the offering was to broaden the public
trading market for Class H shares and thereby increase their liquidity. The
remaining 7.6 million shares were issued by GM, and the proceeds were used for
general corporate purposes.
Earnings (Loss) per share attributable to Class H common stock were $2.30
in 1993, ($2.29) in 1992, and $1.39 in 1991, and are based on the Available
Separate Consolidated Net Income (Loss) of GMHE (described in Note 9 to the
Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The return to overall profitability in 1993 resulted in much stronger cash
flow from operations this year compared with the previous two years. The
Corporation's net losses in 1992 and 1991 had adverse effects on cash flow and
balance sheet strength during those periods. Despite negative business
conditions during this period, GM was able to meet its funding needs through
outside borrowings, sale of finance receivables, equity issuances, sale of
assets, sale and leasebacks, and other means.
In 1992 and 1991, GM's earnings were inadequate to cover its fixed charges
(principally interest and related charges on debt), primarily as a result of
losses incurred by NAO. The Corporation is implementing fundamental changes
which it believes will restore the profitability of those operations and
enable the Corporation to have earnings sufficient to cover its fixed charges,
as was the case in 1993.
GM had its strongest cash position ever at year-end. Cash and cash
equivalents, including GMAC, were $13,790.5 million at December 31, 1993, up
from $11,078.6 million a year earlier due to net cash provided by operating
and investing activities exceeding net cash used in financing activities.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1993 with GMAC on an equity
basis were $9,762.5 million, up from $7,207.6 million a year earlier. The
increase was due to an excess of net cash provided by operating and investing
activities over net cash used in financing activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities, including GMAC, was $14,655.8
million in 1993, $9,990.9 million in 1992, and $6,498.5 million in 1991. Net
cash provided by operating activities with GMAC on an equity basis was
$11,406.3 million in 1993, $6,699.6 million in 1992, and $4,674.9 million in
1991.

The provisions for plant closings and other restructurings represented
$950.0 million, $1,237.0 million, and $2,820.8 million of noncash charges to
income in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. The Corporation's plant closing
and restructuring reserve (excluding environmental) at December 31, 1993 was
$4,120.6 million. Approximately $3,788.0 million of this total represents
employee job security and facility holding costs which will require future
cash outflows, generally spread evenly over the next six years. Such cash
flows will be influenced by the Corporation's ability to manage its work force
efficiently and effectively within and across geographic areas during this
period. As a result of the improved alignment of plant capacity and market
demand, the Corporation expects to achieve improved operating results and cash
flows.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, including GMAC, was
$457.4 million in 1993, $1,542.8 million in 1992, and ($2,798.9) million in
1991. GMAC received $13,072.2 million in 1993, $11,201.8 million in 1992, and
$2,926.9 million in 1991 from proceeds from sales of finance receivables.
Such sales, which are an integral element in GMAC's strategy to minimize
liquidity concerns, accelerate the conversion of receivables to cash. With
GMAC on an equity basis, net cash provided by investing activities amounted to
$2,465.0 million in 1993, compared to net cash used of $4,162.6 million in
1992 and $5,068.8 million in 1991.
Net cash used in financing activities, including GMAC, was $12,477.5
million in 1993, $6,904.9 million in 1992, and $947.8 million in 1991. Net
cash used in financing activities with GMAC on an equity basis was $11,397.6
million in 1993, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$628.2 million in 1992 and $939.5 million in 1991.
In 1993, cash flows from investing and financing activities, with GMAC on
an equity basis, were significantly affected by the discontinuation of GM
financing of certain dealer wholesale receivables and the use of the related
proceeds to retire certain intercompany financing arrangements with GMAC.
In May 1993, GM redeemed all of the $5.00 Series and $3.75 Series of
Preferred Stock for $265.0 million. In authorizing the redemption, the Board
of Directors determined that the action would provide additional financial
flexibility to the Corporation by eliminating certain covenants contained in
the terms of the Preferred Stock.
To help meet its funding needs, GM issued several different series of
preference stock providing aggregate net proceeds of $2,498.1 million in 1992
and $1,795.5 million in 1991. In addition, GM raised $2,165.4 million in May
1992 through the issuance in a public offering of 57.0 million shares of $1-
2/3 par value common stock and $129.4 million in October 1992 from the
issuance of 7.6 million Class H shares. The 7.6 million Class H shares were
in addition to the 21.5 million Class H shares issued to finance the
acquisition of GD's missile business.
In May 1993, GM, certain subsidiaries, and affiliates finalized agreements
establishing six syndicated bank credit facilities providing aggregate
available credit of $20.6 billion. Three of the facilities were established
in the United States and three in Europe. The six syndicated facilities
represent a refinancing of just over half of the aggregate worldwide bank
credit facilities available to GM, GMAC, and their subsidiaries and
affiliates.
In addition, an aggregate of approximately $4 billion of other existing
credit facilities maintained by various GM and GMAC subsidiaries in Europe,
Canada, and Australia have been renogotiated on a one-on-one basis with
various individual banks in order to extend maturities and convert currently
uncommitted facilities into committed revolving credit facilities. In total,
about $25 billion of the approximately $40 billion in aggregate direct bank
credit facilities worldwide maintained by GM and GMAC have been refinanced.
During 1993, notes and loans payable of GM and its subsidiaries including
GMAC (as detailed in Note 14 to the Financial Statements) decreased 14.7% to
$70,441.2 million at year-end from $82,592.3 million at December 31, 1992.
During 1992, notes and loans payable decreased 12.2% primarily due to lower
levels of finance receivables at GMAC.
II-64

GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
GM's fully consolidated ratio of debt to stockholders' equity (excluding
stocks subject to repurchase) was 12.58 to 1 at December 31, 1993 and 13.27 to
1 a year earlier.
Long-term debt of GM and its subsidiaries with GMAC on an equity basis was
$6,218.4 million at the end of 1993, a decrease of $638.1 million during the
year. The ratio of long-term debt to the total of long-term debt and
stockholders' equity (excluding stocks subject to repurchase) was 52.6% at
December 31, 1993 and 52.4% at December 31, 1992. The ratio of long-term debt
and short-term loans payable to the total of this debt and stockholders'
equity (excluding stocks subject to repurchase) was 57.8% at the end of 1993
and 56.4% at the end of 1992.
In February 1993, Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) lowered the long-
term debt, commercial paper and preference stock ratings of GM, GMAC, GMHE,
and EDS. GM's, GMAC's, and GMHE's S&P ratings were lowered from A- to BBB+
for senior debt, within the ten investment grade ratings available from S&P
for long-term debt, and GMAC's, EDS', and GMHE's ratings were lowered from A-1
to A-2 for commercial paper, within the four investment grade ratings
available from S&P for commercial paper. The rating on GM's preference stock
was lowered from BBB+ to BBB. In October 1993, at the time of GM's labor
contract settlement, S&P revised its ratings outlook from stable to negative.
In November 1992, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. lowered its rating of senior
debt of GM, GMAC, and GMHE to Baa1 from A2, within the ten investment grade
ratings available from Moody's for long-term debt. Concurrently, Moody's
lowered its rating of GMAC and GMHE commercial paper from Prime-1, the highest
of three investment grade ratings available from Moody's for commercial paper,
to Prime-2. In addition, the rating of GM preference stock was lowered to
baa3 from a3. Moody's cited GM's continued net losses in North America as the
basis for its action. Moody's affirmed the Prime-1 rating of EDS commercial
paper.
In addition, substantially all of the short-, medium-, and long-term debt
issued by GMAC and the senior debt of GM is rated by Fitch Investors Service,
Inc. (Fitch) and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (D&P). The senior debt of GM
and GMAC is rated A- by both agencies, within the ten investment grade ratings
available. GMAC commercial paper has received ratings of F-1 by Fitch, the
second highest of four investment grade ratings available, and D-1 by D&P, the
second highest of five investment grade ratings available. GM's preference
shares are rated BBB+ by Fitch and D&P.
Lower ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs. A security
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other
rating.
Despite the downgrading by Moody's and S&P, GM management believes that GM
and GMAC remain highly liquid, retain good access to the capital markets, and
maintain extensive bank credit facilities. GM management believes that
restoring NAO to profitability should favorably impact the Corporation's
credit ratings over time.
At year-end 1993, unused short-term credit facilities totaled
approximately $14.7 billion and unused long-term credit facilities totaled
approximately $18.2 billion, compared with $19.0 billion and $8.4 billion,
respectively, at the end of 1992.
Worldwide capital expenditures, excluding GMAC, were $6.4 billion in 1993
and 1992, and $7.1 billion in 1991. Expenditures in 1993 were devoted
primarily to product development in continued support of the Corporation's
programs to improve vehicle quality, performance, and styling. GMAC's capital
expenditures were approximately $118.5 million in 1993, $149.7 million in
1992, and $134.9 million in 1991.
II-65
82
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Of the 1993 worldwide expenditures for real estate, plants, and equipment,
approximately 71% were in the United States (56% in 1992 and 69% in 1991), 5%
in other North America (3% in 1992 and 1991), and 24% overseas (41% in 1992
and 28% in 1991).
Commitments for capital spending, including special tools, were $2.7
billion at December 31, 1993. Capital expenditures for 1994 are estimated to
be $7.6 billion.
GM's policy is to distribute dividends on its $1-2/3 par value common
stock based on the outlook and indicated capital needs of the business. At
the November 1992 meeting of the General Motors Board of Directors, the
quarterly dividend on the $1-2/3 par value common stock was reduced from $0.40
per share to $0.20 per share to conserve cash and strengthen GM's competitive
position. In February 1991, the Board of Directors had reduced the quarterly
dividend to $0.40 per share from $0.75 per $1-2/3 par value share.
With respect to Class E and Class H common stocks, the Corporation's
current policy is to pay cash dividends approximately equal to 30% and 35% of
the Available Separate Consolidated Net Income of EDS and GMHE, respectively,
for the prior year. In February 1994, the Board of Directors increased the
quarterly dividends on Class E common stock from $0.10 per share to $0.12 per
share and on Class H common stock from $0.18 per share to $0.20 per share.
Notwithstanding the current dividend policy, the Board of Directors
declared a dividend on the Class H common stock of $0.18 per share for each of
the quarters of 1993, 1992, and 1991, which was more than 35% of the Available
Separate Consolidated Net Income of GMHE for the prior year.
At December 31, 1993, the Corporation's capital surplus less accumulated
deficit was $4,870.0 million, $3,243.8 million, and $1,886.7 million on $1-2/3
par value, Class E, and Class H common stocks, respectively, as allocated
pursuant to GM's Certificate of Incorporation. However, consistent with
Delaware law, which governs the amount legally available for the payment of
dividends on the Corporation's common stock, the Board of Directors has
determined that such amount is materially higher than the Corporation's
capital surplus less accumulated deficit.
Book value per share of $1-2/3 par value common stock was $1.65 at the end
of 1993, down from $1.98 a year earlier and $37.18 at the end of 1991. Book
value per share of Class E common stock decreased to $0.21 from $0.25 and
$4.76 at the end of 1992 and 1991, respectively. Book value per share of
Class H common stock decreased to $0.83 from $0.99 and $18.61 at the end of
1992 and 1991, respectively. The declines noted above for 1993 and 1992 are
primarily attributable to the reduction of equity required by the
Corporation's additional minimum pension obligation and to the cumulative
effect of the postretirement benefit accounting change.
Deferred Taxes
The Corporation's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1993 includes
a deferred tax asset of approximately $19.5 billion related to net future
deductible temporary differences (see Note 8 to the Financial Statements) in
the U.S. of which approximately $14.1 billion relates to the obligation for
postretirement benefits other than pensions. The Corporation believes it is
likely that such benefits will be realized through the reduction of future
taxable income.
Management has carefully considered various factors in assessing the
probability of realizing these deferred tax benefits including:
. Recent operating results of GMAC, EDS, and GMHE which collectively
generated U.S. pre-tax income of approximately $3.4 billion, $2.3
billion, and $2.6 billion in 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
. Significant reductions in 1993 and 1992 U.S. automotive losses and
overall financial forecasts of book and taxable income for the 1994-
1998 period. Improvements are expected from plant closings and other
restructuring actions, material cost reduction initiatives, employee
headcount reductions, and marketing initiatives to create a more
profitable retail/fleet vehicle mix. NAO's 1994 objective is to be
profitable at a net income level.
II-66
83
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
. The ability to utilize tax planning, such as capitalization of research
and experimentation costs for tax purposes, so that the Corporation
does not have, and does not expect to generate in the near future, any
significant U.S. Federal tax net operating loss carryforwards.
. The extended period of time over which the tax benefits can be
utilized. Postretirement benefits become tax deductions over periods
up to 50 years.
. The fact that the Corporation has never lost deferred Federal tax
benefits due to the expiration of a U.S. net operating loss
carryforward.
For illustrative purposes, the Corporation estimates that it will require
approximately $18.0 billion in U.S. taxable income over the next five years to
realize the recorded deferred tax benefit from temporary differences between
book and taxable income that are expected to impact taxable income over the
five-year period. The Corporation expects to realize the related deferred tax
benefit of $6.3 billion. This expectation is based on improved operating
results in the U.S., available tax planning, and the recurring nature of many
temporary differences between book and taxable income. (Examples of temporary
differences expected to recur in future periods are product warranty and sales
incentive expenses which will generate additional deferred tax assets, thereby
offsetting the realization of previously recorded deferred tax assets related
to these items).
As shown in the table, which provides a reconciliation of the
Corporation's pre-tax book U.S. loss and taxable U.S. income (loss), U.S.
taxable income is estimated at $7.1 billion for 1993.

==============================================================================
*Estimated amounts
The effect of U.S. taxable income in 1993 is expected to be substantially
offset by the use of foreign tax credits. The taxable losses in 1992 and 1991
were carried back to prior years.
Pensions
At year-end 1993, GM's total unfunded pension position increased to $22.3
billion ($18.5 billion U.S. and $3.8 billion non-U.S.) from $14.0 billion a
year ago. Major factors contributing to this increase were the decline in
interest rates which resulted in lower discount rates used to compute the
projected benefit obligation of the plans as well as pension benefit increases
as a result of labor negotiations in the U.S. and Canada, partially offset by
better than expected investment returns on pension funds assets and greater
than legally required contributions.
In December 1992, GM's Board of Directors approved a plan with the long-
term goal that its principal U.S. plans be fully funded on an ongoing economic
basis by the year 2000. In measuring its pension obligations for the purpose
of developing its long-term pension funding plan, the Corporation uses a more
stable long-term rate of return (i.e., 10%) that it expects to achieve on the
investment of plan assets rather than the more volatile long-term bond rate
which is subject to annual adjustments under current pension accounting
standards.
To meet this goal, the Corporation contributed $4.4 billion in the 1993
calendar year, $3.0 billion more than was required by law. The $4.4 billion
includes $838.1 million in the form of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock sold
to the Corporation from individual employee accounts in various stock savings
plans of the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation plans to contribute
substantial additional amounts above those required by current law in 1994 and
future years.
II-67
84
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
The Corporation is also considering a contribution of approximately 180
million shares of GM Class E common stock to its U.S. Hourly-Rate Employees
Pension Plan to reduce the Corporation's unfunded liability to the Plan. The
market value of these shares at December 31, 1993 was approximately $5.3
billion.
The contribution of Class E stock is dependent upon obtaining a number of
regulatory approvals. In order to proceed, GM must obtain various exemptions
and rulings from a number of U.S. Government agencies. In addition, GM will
seek relief from the excise tax that can apply when large contributions are
made to pension plans. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) reform
bill (HR3396) proposes this relief. GM has been in discussions with the PBGC
regarding its unfunded pension liability. If GM obtains the necessary
government approvals, the stock contribution would require approval by the GM
Board of Directors. No assurance can be given at this time that the
exemptions and rulings will be obtained.
GM expects to make the cash contributions that it would otherwise owe in
the near-term without considering this contribution of Class E stock.
Environmental Matters
The Corporation is subject to various laws relating to protection of the
environment, and is in various stages of investigation or remediation for
sites where contamination has been alleged.
As disclosed in Note 15, Other Liabilities and Deferred Credits, the
accrued liability for worldwide environmental cleanup was $659.3 million at
December 31, 1993, $519.1 million at December 31, 1992, and $446.0 million at
December 31, 1991. Such amounts are currently believed to be sufficient. In
future periods, new laws or regulations, advances in technologies, and
additional information about the ultimate remedy selected at new and existing
sites, and the Corporation's share of the cost of such remedies, could
significantly change the Corporation's estimates.
Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, describes the Corporation's
methodology for estimating environmental liabilities. The process of
estimating such liabilities is complex and is dependent primarily on the
existence and quality of historical information and physical data relating to
a contaminated site, the complexity of the site, uncertainty as to what remedy
and technology will be required, the outcome of discussions with regulatory
agencies and other potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") at multi-party
sites, the number and financial viability of other PRPs, and the timing of
expenditures.
In 1993, 1992, and 1991, the Corporation expensed $104.7 million, $114.0
million, and $194.9 million, respectively, for environmental cleanup. In
addition, worldwide capital expenditures, as discussed previously, include
$211.5 million, $246.9 million, and $218.0 million in 1993, 1992, and 1991,
respectively, for various environmental matters.
New Accounting Standards
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits. The Standard
requires accrual of the costs of benefits provided to former or inactive
employees after employment, but before retirement.
GM will adopt the Standard effective January 1, 1994. The adoption of the
new accounting Standard will result in an after-tax charge to earnings of $758
million, or $1.05 per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock in the first
quarter of 1994. The ongoing effect in subsequent periods is not expected to
be material. The non-cash charge is primarily related to GM's extended-
disability benefit program in the U.S. which, under the new accounting
Standard, will be accrued on a service-driven basis. The unfavorable effect
of adopting SFAS No. 112 for the Corporation's GM Hughes Electronics
Corporation subsidiary is $30 million, or $0.08 per share of GM Class H common
stock. The effect at Electronic Data Systems Corporation is not material and
there is no effect on GM Class E common stock earnings.
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan, effective January 1, 1995. The Standard requires that
II-68
85
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. The Corporation has
not determined if it will adopt this Standard early and believes its impact
will not be material.
Also in May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, effective January 1, 1994. The
Standard establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for investments
in certain equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and
for all investments in debt securities. The Corporation believes this
Standard will have an immaterial effect on stockholders' equity.

*During 1986 through 1993, for marketing and financial reasons GM assumed part
of the dealer inventory financing previously provided by GMAC. Primarily to
support these receivables, General Motors entered into a financing agreement
with GMAC which provided that GMAC would extend loans to GM up to a maximum of
$17 billion which would bear interest at floating market rates. GMAC serviced
these receivables for General Motors for a fee. This financing agreement
ensured that GMAC's ongoing funding activities would continue, and returned to
GMAC the approximate amount of interest and fees it would have earned had it
retained the dealer inventory financing business. As of December 1, 1993,
GMAC resumed the financing of wholesale receivables and the amounts previously
borrowed under this agreement with GMAC were repaid. This financing agreement
has been terminated.

Notes:
(a) Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of groups of property generally using accelerated
methods which accumulate depreciation of approximately two-thirds of the depreciable cost during the first
half of the estimated useful lives. The annual group rates of depreciation are as follows:
Classification of Property Annual Group Rates
------------------------------ ------------------
Land improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . Average 3%
Buildings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Average 3%
Machinery and equipment . . . . . . . . . . Average 6%
Furniture and office equipment. . . . . . . Average 13%
The cost of each leasehold improvement is amortized over the period of the lease or the life of the property,
whichever is shorter, with the amortization applied directly to the asset account and charged to costs and
expenses. Depreciation on capitalized leases with a term of five years or less is provided using the straight-
line method; leases with a term in excess of five years are depreciated using the normal accelerated method.
(b) The differences between the net book amounts and the proceeds realized from the sale or retirement of depreciable
properties are included in Other Income.
(c) Reflects primarily the effect of foreign currency translation adjustments as required by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation.
(d) Amortization of special tools, charged to costs and expenses, as reported in the Statement of Consolidated Operations.
Reference should be made to the Notes to Financial Statements.
