GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations

General Motors Company is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors” or “GM.” General Motors Corporation is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the periods on or before July 9, 2009, as “Old GM.” On July 10, 2009 in connection with the 363 Sale relating to Old GM’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, General Motors Corporation changed its name to Motors Liquidation Company, which is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods after July 10, 2009 as “MLC.” MLC continues to exist as a distinct legal entity for the sole purpose of liquidating its remaining assets and liabilities.

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and parts worldwide. We also conduct finance operations through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). These financing operations consist principally of financing automobile purchases and leases for retail customers.

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments, which are GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

We own a 9.9% equity interest in Ally Financial, which is accounted for as a cost method investment because we are not able to exercise significant influence. Ally Financial provides a broad range of financial services, including consumer vehicle financing, automotive dealership and other commercial financing, residential mortgage services and automobile service contracts.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries that we control due to ownership of a majority voting interest. We continually evaluate our involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) to determine whether we have variable interests and are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. When this criteria is met, we are required to consolidate the VIE. Our share of earnings or losses of nonconsolidated affiliates is included in our consolidated operating results using the equity method of accounting when we are able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate. We use the cost method of accounting if we are not able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

GM Financial

The assets and liabilities of GM Financial, our automotive finance operations, are presented on a non-classified basis. The amounts presented for GM Financial have been adjusted to include the effect of our tax attributes on GM Financial’s deferred tax positions and provision for income taxes since the date of acquisition, which are not applicable to GM Financial on a stand-alone basis, and to eliminate the effect of transactions between GM Financial and the other members of the consolidated group. Accordingly, the amounts presented will differ from those presented by GM Financial on a stand-alone basis.

Prior Period Financial Statements Conformed to Current Period Presentation

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we have recorded foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt as non-operating items. This is a change from prior period presentations in which foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt were recorded in Automotive cost of sales. We have reclassified the prior periods of General Motors Company to conform to our current presentation. The effects of this reclassification will decrease Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $34 million from July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and $38 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 while increasing Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $107 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Bolivar Fuerte (BsF), the local currency, to the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency, on January 1, 2010 because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. Pursuant to the official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency and establishment of the dual fixed exchange rates (essential rate of BsF 2.60 to $1.00 and nonessential rate of BsF 4.30 to $1.00) in January 2010, we remeasured the BsF denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by our Venezuelan subsidiaries at the nonessential rate of 4.30 BsF to $1.00. The remeasurement resulted in a charge of $25 million recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

In June 2010 the Venezuelan government introduced additional foreign currency exchange control regulations, which imposed restrictions on the use of the parallel foreign currency exchange market, thereby making it more difficult to convert BsF to U.S. Dollars. We periodically accessed the parallel exchange market, which historically enabled entities to obtain foreign currency for transactions that could not be processed by the Commission for the Administration of Currency Exchange (CADIVI). The restrictions on the foreign currency exchange market could affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries’ ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by CADIVI at the official exchange rates as well as our ability to benefit from those operations.

In December 2010 another official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency was announced that eliminated the essential rate effective January 1, 2011. The devaluation did not have an effect on the 2010 consolidated financial statements, however, it will affect results of operations in subsequent years because our Venezuelan subsidiaries will no longer realize gains that result from favorable foreign currency exchanges processed by CADIVI at the essential rate for the requests submitted subsequent to the devaluation date.

The following tables provide financial information for our Venezuelan subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 which include amounts receivable from and payable to, and transactions with, affiliated entities (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Total automotive assets (a)	$	1,320	$	1,322
Total automotive liabilities (b)	$	980	$	985

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011		Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Total net sales and revenue	$	372	$	245
Net income attributable to stockholders (c)	$	2	$	106

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(a)	Includes BsF denominated and non-BsF denominated monetary assets of $271 million and $639 million at March 31, 2011 and $393 million and $527 million at December 31, 2010.

(b)	Includes BsF denominated and non-BsF denominated monetary liabilities of $528 million and $452 million at March 31, 2011 and $661 million and $324 million at December 31, 2010.

(c)

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 a gain of $119 million is included related to the devaluation of the BsF in January 2010 which was offset by a $144 million loss recorded by U.S. entities on BsF denominated assets, which is not included in the Net income attributable to stockholders reported above. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are gains of $5 million and $15 million due to favorable foreign currency exchanges that were processed by CADIVI at the essential rate. The gain in the three months ended March 31, 2011 is related to requests for foreign currency exchanges submitted to CADIVI prior to the devaluation effective January 1, 2011.

The total amount pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was BsF 2.4 billion (equivalent to $554 million) and BsF 1.9 billion (equivalent to $432 million), for which some requests have been pending from 2007. The amounts outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include payables to affiliated entities of $364 million and $263 million, each of which include dividends payable of $144 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2009 the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 addresses the unit of accounting for multiple-element arrangements. In addition, ASU 2009-13 revises the method by which consideration is allocated among the units of accounting. Specifically, the overall consideration is allocated to each deliverable by establishing a selling price for individual deliverables based on a hierarchy of evidence, involving vendor-specific objective evidence, other third party evidence of the selling price or the reporting entity’s best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement. ASU 2009-13 was effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (ASU 2010-28). The amendments in ASU 2010-28 modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Any resulting goodwill impairment is recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings at the date of adoption with future impairments recorded to earnings. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the adoption of ASU 2010-28 and its effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Acquisition and Disposals of Businesses

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

On March 31, 2011 we completed the acquisition of an additional 6.9% interest in GM Korea Company, formerly GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. (GM Korea) for a cash purchase price of $100 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retain the controlling financial interest in GM Korea. As a result of this transaction we reduced our equity attributable to Noncontrolling interests by $134 million and our Accumulated other comprehensive income by $7 million, and increased our Capital surplus by $41 million. After completing this transaction, we now own 77.0% of the outstanding shares of GM Korea.

Saab Sale

In February 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile AB (Saab) and in May 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile GB to Spyker Cars NV. Of the negotiated cash purchase price of $74 million, we received $50 million at closing and received the remaining $24 million in July 2010. We also received preference shares in Saab with a face value of $326 million and an estimated fair value that is insignificant and received $114 million as repayment of the debtor-in-possession financing that we provided to Saab during 2009. In the three months March 31, 2010 we recorded a gain of $123 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net reflecting cash received of $166 million less net assets with a book value of $43 million.

Acquisition of GM Financial

In October 2010 we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of GM Financial (formerly AmeriCredit Corp.), an automotive finance company, for cash of $3.5 billion. The results of GM Financial are included in our results beginning October 1, 2010.

Sale of New Delphi

In March 2011 we sold our Class A Membership Interests in Delphi Automotive LLP (New Delphi) to New Delphi for $3.8 billion. The Class A Membership Interests sold represented 100% of our direct and indirect interests in New Delphi and 100% of New Delphi’s Class A Membership Interests issued and outstanding. The sale terminated any direct and indirect obligation to loan New Delphi up to $500 million under a term loan facility established in October 2009 when New Delphi was created and the Class A Membership Interests were issued. New Delphi had not borrowed under this loan facility. We recorded a gain of $1.6 billion related to the sale in Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our existing supply contracts with New Delphi were not affected by this transaction.

Impairment of Investment in HKJV

In December 2009 we and SAIC Motor Hong Kong Investment Limited (SAIC-HK) entered into a joint venture, SAIC GM Investment Limited (HKJV) to invest in automotive projects outside of markets in China, initially focusing on markets in India. On February 1, 2010 we sold certain of our operations in India (GM India), part of our GMIO segment to HKJV, in exchange for a promissory note due in 2013. The amount due under the promissory note may be partially reduced, or increased, based on GM India’s cumulative earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the three year period ending December 31, 2012. In connection with the sale we recorded net consideration of $185 million and an insignificant gain. The sale transaction resulted in a loss of control and the deconsolidation of GM India on February 1, 2010. Accordingly, we removed the assets and liabilities of GM India from our consolidated financial statements and recorded an equity interest in HKJV to reflect cash of $50 million we contributed to HKJV and a $123 million commitment to provide additional capital that we are required to make in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement. We recorded a corresponding liability to reflect our obligation to provide additional capital.

In March 2011 there was a change in the local tax regulations which significantly extended the period of time over which GM India will receive certain value added tax based investment incentives. The delay in recovery of these incentives significantly affected GM India’s cash flow and EBIT forecasts, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of HKJV. The fair value of our investment in HKJV at March 31, 2011 was determined to be $112 million compared to a carrying amount of $151 million. The loss in value was considered to be other than temporary and, therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $39 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, we recorded other charges totaling $67 million related to our investment in the HKJV in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Sales and income of our China JVs are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each joint venture is reflected as Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments.

SGM is a joint venture established by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) (51%) and us (49%) in 1997. SGM has interests in three other joint ventures in China — SGM Norsom, SGM DY and SGM DYPT. These three joint ventures are jointly held by SGM (50%), SAIC (25%) and us (25%). The four joint ventures (SGM Group) are engaged in the production, import, and sale of a comprehensive range of products under the brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac.

In February 2010 we sold a 1% ownership interest in SGM to SAIC-HK, reducing our ownership interest to 49%. The sale of the 1% ownership interest to SAIC was predicated on our ability to work with SAIC to obtain a $400 million line of credit from a commercial bank to us. We also received a call option to repurchase the 1% which is contingently exercisable based on events which we do not unilaterally control. As part of the loan arrangement SAIC provided a commitment whereby, in the event of default, SAIC will purchase the ownership interest in SGM that we pledged as collateral for the loan. We recorded an insignificant gain on this transaction.

In November 2010 we purchased an additional 10% interest in SGMW from the Liuzhou Wuling Motors Co., Ltd. and Liuzhou Mini Vehicles Factory, collectively the Wuling Group, for cash of $52 million plus an agreement to provide technical services to the Wuling Group for a period of three years. As a result of this transaction, we own 44%, SAIC owns 50.1% and certain Liuzhou investors own 5.9% of the outstanding stock of SGMW.

Accumulated impairment charges	$	—	$	(1,861	)	$	—	$	—	$	(1,861	)	$	—	$	(1,861	)

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME has a negative carrying amount and despite the fair value of GME’s equity being greater than its carrying amount, we performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings of $1.5 billion for our GME reporting unit. In addition, because GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and it was more likely than not that a further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2011, an impairment charge of $395 million was recorded in Goodwill impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on ASU 2010-28.

The valuation methodologies utilized to perform our goodwill impairment testing for GME were consistent with those used in our application of fresh-start reporting on July 10, 2009, as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Form 10-K, and in our 2010 annual goodwill impairment testing at October 1, 2010. The fair value measures used in our analyses were Level 3 measures. Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly, we calculated GME’s implied goodwill in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 “Business Combinations” (ASC 805).

In performing our Step 2 analyses, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair values of GME at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011. These fair value estimates utilized a weighted-average cost of capital of 17.0% and 16.5 % at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 20011 that considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums, and tax rates; a terminal value that was determined using a growth model that applied a long-term growth rate of 0.5% to our projected cash flows beyond 2015; and industry sales of 18.4 million and a market share for GME of 6.56% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.42% market share in 2015. The fair value of property was determined based on its highest and best use utilizing a combination of the market or sales comparison approach, the cost approach and/or the income approach. The fair values of GME’s brands were determined based on a relief from royalty method and the fair value of GME’s dealer network was determined on a cost approach. Based on these fair value measures, we determined GME’s implied goodwill represents only the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon application of fresh-start reporting.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Our Step 2 analyses indicated GME’s implied goodwill was less that its recorded goodwill; therefore, goodwill was adjusted at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011. The adjustments to goodwill represent the net decreases, from July 10, 2009 through January 1, 2011 and from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011, in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting. The net decreases resulted primarily from: (1) a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009; (2) an increase in high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit plan obligations since January 1, 2011; and (3) a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk.

Future goodwill impairments could occur within GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease, GME continues to have a negative carrying amount, and the fair value of the GME reporting unit does not increase sufficiently to offset such decreases or such increase in fair value results in a corresponding increase in the fair value of other identifiable assets without giving rise to additional implied goodwill. The difference between these fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences would decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating or a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates, thus resulting in a decrease in the spread between our employee benefit related obligations under U.S. GAAP and their fair values. The fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting within GME also included deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Similarly, a decrease would also occur upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances within GME. Should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease for these reasons, without an increase in the fair value of the GME reporting unit sufficient to offset such decreases, the implied goodwill balance will decline and future goodwill impairments would occur and may be material. Any declines would have a negative effect on our earnings and would be included in Goodwill impairment charges. Future goodwill impairments could also occur within our other reporting units, including GMNA, should we first fail Step 1 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis and the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above also decrease.

We believe future goodwill impairment charges could occur in 2011 related to GME because GME has a negative carrying amount and it is possible: (1) a decrease in the credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk could occur and/or (2) a decrease in our nonperformance risk or improvement in our credit rating could occur.

Note 11. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary primarily include certain vehicles sales and marketing joint ventures, the most significant of which is GM Egypt, and certain other automotive or financial support entities.

Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims to us and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIE operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations. GM Korea, a non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiary that we control through a majority voting interest, is also a VIE because in the future it may require additional subordinated financial support. The creditors of GM Korea’s short-term debt of $117 million and $70 million, current derivative liabilities of $49 million and $111 million and long-term debt of $8 million and $835 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to Korean Development Bank, a minority shareholder in GM Korea, to redeem GM Korea’s preferred shares should GM Korea not have sufficient legally distributable earnings. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Automotive Financing

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. GM Financial retains an interest in these credit facilities and securitization trusts which are structured without recourse.

GM Financial’s continuing involvement with the credit facilities and securitization trusts includes servicing loans and leases held by the SPEs and holding a residual interest in the SPE. The SPEs are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk, and are consolidated because GM Financial is the primary beneficiary and has the power over those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the SPEs, and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the SPEs which are potentially significant.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

GM Financial is not required to provide any additional financial support to its sponsored credit facilities and securitization SPEs. The finance receivables, leased assets and other assets held by these subsidiaries are not available to our creditors or creditors of our other subsidiaries.

Refer to Notes 5, 6 and 13 for additional information on GM Financial’s involvement with the SPEs and disclosures related to the amounts held by the consolidated SPEs as of the balance sheet dates.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated because we are not the primary beneficiary primarily include certain vehicle sales and marketing joint ventures and other automotive or financial support entities, including American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (American Axle), Ally Financial, Saab and HKJV.

Variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs include guarantees and financial support provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production are not disrupted due to a supplier’s liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns. The maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is not expected to be in excess of the amount of net accounts and notes receivable recorded with the suppliers and any related guarantees and loan commitments. Investments in joint ventures that manufacture, market and sell vehicles in certain markets are typically self-funded and financed with no contractual terms that require us to provide future financial support. Future funding is required for HKJV, as subsequently discussed. The maximum exposure to loss is not expected to be in excess of the carrying amount of the investments recorded in Equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates and in any related capital funding requirements.

The following table summarizes the amounts recorded for nonconsolidated VIEs and the related off-balance sheet guarantees and maximum exposure to loss, excluding Ally Financial that is disclosed in Note 24 (dollars in millions):

Stated contractual voting or similar rights for certain of our joint venture arrangements provide various parties with shared power over the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of certain nonconsolidated VIEs. Such nonconsolidated VIEs are operating joint ventures located in developing international markets.

American Axle

We concluded that American Axle was a VIE for which we were not the primary beneficiary and we currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of American Axle that most significantly affect its economic performance. Our variable interest in American Axle is a second lien term loan facility in which American Axle can borrow up to $100 million. Warrants to purchase American Axle common stock will be granted if amounts are drawn on the second lien term loan facility. At March 31, 2011 no amounts were outstanding under the second lien term loan facility. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on previously granted and sold American Axle warrants.

Ally Financial

We own 9.9% of Ally Financial’s common stock. Ally Financial is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk; however, we are not the primary beneficiary and we currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of Ally Financial that most significantly affect its economic performance. Refer to Notes 19 and 24 for additional information on Ally Financial, including our investment, sale of our Ally Financial preferred stock in March 2011 and our maximum exposure under agreements with Ally Financial.

Saab

Our primary variable interest in Saab is the preference shares that we received in connection with the sale, which have a face value of $326 million and were recorded at an estimated fair value that is insignificant. We concluded that Saab is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We also determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we lack the power to direct those activities that most significantly affect its economic performance. We continue to be obligated to fund certain Saab related liabilities, primarily warranty obligations related to vehicles sold prior to the disposition of Saab. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the sale of Saab.

HKJV

We determined that HKJV is a VIE because it will require additional subordinated financial support, and we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we share the power with SAIC-HK to direct those activities that most significantly affect HKJV’s economic performance.

Note 15. Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

Contributions

In January 2011 we completed the previously announced voluntary contribution of 61 million shares of our common stock to our U.S. hourly and salaried pension plans. At the time of contribution, the fair value was $2.2 billion for funding purposes. This was a voluntary contribution that is above our minimum funding requirements of the pension plans. The contributed shares qualify as a plan asset for funding purposes immediately, and will qualify as a plan asset for accounting purposes when certain transfer restrictions are removed, which is expected in 2011. We are evaluating whether we will make additional voluntary contributions to our U.S. pension plans in 2011.

Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In accordance with our risk management policy, we enter into a variety of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity derivative contracts in connection with the management of exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices.

Our derivative instruments consist primarily of forward contracts and options. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 no outstanding derivative contracts were designated in hedging relationships other than those derivative contracts designated in a hedging relationship by GM Financial. Refer to Note 19 for additional information on the fair value measurements of our derivative instruments.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk attributable to the counterparties’ ability to meet the terms of the agreements. Certain of our agreements with counterparties require, under certain circumstances, that the counterparty post collateral with us for net asset positions. Agreements are entered into with counterparties that allow the set-off of certain exposures in order to manage the risk. The following table summarizes our counterparty credit risk related to derivative positions (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Collateral held from counterparties (a)	$	76	$	74
Gross derivative asset position exposed to loss (b)	$	85	$	143
Net derivative asset position exposed to loss (c)	$	64	$	108

(a)	Related obligation recorded in Accrued liabilities.

(b)	Represents the maximum exposure to loss on derivative asset positions calculated as the gross derivative asset position less collateral we held (excluding embedded derivatives).

(c)	Net exposure to loss calculated as net derivative asset position for all counterparties with which we were in a net asset position, less the collateral we held (excluding embedded derivatives).

At March 31, 2011 substantially all derivative counterparty exposures were with counterparties that were rated A- or higher.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Certain of our agreements with counterparties require that we provide cash collateral for net liability positions that we may have with such counterparty. At March 31, 2011 no collateral was posted related to derivative instruments, and we did not have any agreements with counterparties to derivative instruments containing covenants requiring the maintenance of certain credit rating levels or credit risk ratios that would require the posting of collateral in the event that such covenants are violated.

Guarantees

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of certain operating leases. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2011 to 2035. Certain leases contain renewal options.

We provide payment guarantees on commercial loans made by Ally Financial and outstanding with certain third parties, such as dealers or rental car companies. These guarantees either expire in years ranging from 2012 to 2029 or are ongoing. We determined the value ascribed to the guarantees to be insignificant based on the credit worthiness of the third parties. Refer to Note 24 for additional information on guarantees that we provide to Ally Financial.

We have agreements with third parties that guarantee the fulfillment of certain suppliers’ commitments, third party commercial loans and other obligations. These guarantees expire in years ranging from 2011 to 2018 or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances, certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. At March 31, 2011 any proceeds we would receive from collateral were insignificant.

In connection with certain divestitures of assets or operating businesses, we have entered into agreements indemnifying certain buyers and other parties with respect to environmental conditions pertaining to real property we owned. We have provided guarantees with respect to benefits to be paid to former employees of divested businesses relating to pensions, postretirement healthcare and life

insurance. We periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. It is not possible to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemnifications or guarantees due to the conditional nature of these obligations. No amounts have been recorded for such obligations as they are not probable or estimable at this time, and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements mentioned previously, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. Due to the nature of these agreements, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments to which we may be exposed cannot be estimated. No amounts have been recorded for such indemnities as our obligations under them are not probable or estimable at this time, and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements previously discussed, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims as subsequently discussed.

With respect to other product-related claims involving products manufactured by certain joint ventures, we believe that costs incurred are adequately covered by recorded accruals. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2020 to 2026.

Environmental Liability

Automotive operations, like operations of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental remediation. We are in various stages of investigation or remediation for sites where contamination has been alleged. We are involved in a number of actions to remediate hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Such statutes require that responsible parties fund remediation actions regardless of fault, legality of original disposal or ownership of a disposal site.

The future effect of environmental matters, including potential liabilities, is often difficult to estimate. An environmental reserve is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. This practice is followed whether the claims are asserted or unasserted. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from 5 to 30 years.

For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible may vary because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as the connection to the site or to materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions and the nature and scope of investigations, studies and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration and success of remediation).

The final outcome of environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, it is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2011 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $150 million to $370 million.

Product Liability

With respect to product liability claims involving our and Old GM’s products, it is believed that any judgment against us for actual damages will be adequately covered by our recorded accruals and, where applicable, excess insurance coverage. Although punitive damages are claimed in some of these lawsuits, and such claims are inherently unpredictable, accruals incorporate historic experience with these types of claims. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected cost of all known product liability claims plus an estimate of the expected cost for all product liability claims that have already been incurred and are expected to be filed in the future for which we are self-insured. These amounts were recorded in Accrued liabilities.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In accordance with our assumption of dealer sales and service agreements, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims. Our experience related to dealer indemnification obligations where we are not a party arising from incidents prior to July 10, 2009 is limited. We monitor actual claims experience for consistency with this estimate and make periodic adjustments as appropriate. Since July 10, 2009, the volume of product liability claims against us has been less than projected. In addition, as of this time due to the relatively short period for which we have been directly responsible for such claims, we have fewer pending matters than Old GM had in the past and than we expect in the future. Based on both management judgments concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims against us, we have estimated the associated liability. We expect our product liability reserve to rise in future periods as new claims arise from incidents subsequent to July 9, 2009.

Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us including matters arising out of alleged product defects, including asbestos-related claims; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which it is believed that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 as well as various non-U.S. labor-related matters. Tax related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 (indirect tax-related matters) are items being litigated globally pertaining to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales, property taxes and other non-income tax related tax exposures. The various non-U.S. labor-related matters include claims from current and former employees related to alleged unpaid wage, benefit, severance, and other compensation matters. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds in escrow; such escrow deposits may range from $590 million to $780 million. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs, or sanctions, that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2011. We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. Reserves for litigation losses are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. These accrued reserves represent the best estimate of amounts believed to be our liability in a range of expected losses. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Commencing on or about September 29, 2010, current and former hourly employees of GM Korea, our majority-owned affiliate in the Republic of Korea, filed six separate group actions in the Incheon District Court in Incheon, Korea. The cases allege that GM Korea failed to include certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act. Similar cases have been brought against other large employers in the Republic of Korea. GM Korea’s accrual balance at March 31, 2011 was 122 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $110 million) in connection with these cases. At September 30, 2010 GM Korea initially recorded the accrual (70% of which was recorded in Net income attributable to stockholders, based on our ownership interest in GM Korea at that time). The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs’ claim, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 447 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $404 million). GM Korea believes the claims in excess of the accrual are without merit but, given the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and further uncertainties arising because this litigation is at its earliest stages, this amount represents the high end of the range of reasonably possible liability exposure. Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea’s assessment of any or all of individual claim elements may change. This accrual is included in the reserves for non-U.S. labor-related matters.

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former Canadian GMCL dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL. In May 2009, in the context of the global restructuring of the business and the possibility that GMCL might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GMCL offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

with their exit from the GMCL Canadian dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion by December 31, 2009 or such other date as GMCL approved but no later than upon the expiration of the Plaintiff Dealers’ Dealer Sales and Service Agreements (DSSAs) on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the DSSAs were wrongly terminated by GMCL and that GMCL failed to comply with certain disclosure obligations, breached its statutory duty of fair dealing and unlawfully interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers’ statutory right to associate in an attempt to coerce the Plaintiff Dealers into accepting the wind-down agreements. The Plaintiff Dealers seek damages and assert that the wind-down agreements are rescindable. The Plaintiff Dealers’ initial pleading makes reference to a claim “not exceeding” CAD $750 million, without explanation of any specific measure of damages. On March 1, 2011 the Court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues, including: (1) whether GMCL breached its obligation of “good faith” in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers’ rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the Plaintiff Dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). GMCL has sought permission to appeal the class certification decision and is vigorously defending the Plaintiff Dealer claims. At this juncture, the prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable, we have no accrual relating to this litigation. In addition, we cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in the event of liability, as the case presents a variety of different legal theories, none of which GMCL believes are valid, on behalf of a large number of Plaintiff Dealers, each of which presents substantial differences in underlying facts and circumstances which GMCL believes should affect both potential liability and recoverable damages, if any, on an individual basis.

Liability Related to Contingently Issuable Shares

Under the Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase Agreement, as amended between us and Old GM and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, we are obligated to issue additional shares of our common stock to MLC (Adjustment Shares) in the event that allowed general unsecured claims against MLC, as estimated by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, exceed $35.0 billion. The maximum number of Adjustment Shares issuable is 30 million shares (subject to adjustment to take into account stock dividends, stock splits and other transactions). The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued is calculated based on the extent to which estimated general unsecured claims exceed $35.0 billion with the maximum number of Adjustment Shares issued if estimated general unsecured claims total $42.0 billion or more. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we concluded it was not probable that general unsecured claims would exceed $35.0 billion. We believe it is reasonably possible that general unsecured claims allowed against MLC will range between $32.5 billion and $36.0 billion.

GME Planned Spending Guarantee

As part of our Opel/Vauxhall restructuring plan agreed to with European labor representatives, we have committed to achieving specified milestones associated with planned spending from 2011 to 2014 on certain product programs. If we fail to accomplish the requirements set out under the agreement, we will be required to pay certain amounts up to Euro 265 million for each of those years, and/or interest on those amounts, to our employees. Certain inventory with a carrying amount of $192 million and $193 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Management has the intent and believes it has the ability to meet the requirements under the agreement.

Note 18. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date ordinary income/loss. The tax effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 income tax expense of $137 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, primarily due to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 income tax expense of $509 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation and a taxable foreign currency exchange gain in Venezuela.

We file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We have open tax years from 2001 to 2010 with various significant tax jurisdictions. These open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle. In addition the global nature of our operations creates a risk that transfer pricing disputes may arise.

Based on an unfavorable Brazilian Supreme court decision rendered to an unrelated Brazilian taxpayer on a similar income tax matter, it is likely we will settle a contested income tax matter for $246 million in the next 12 months. This amount was fully reserved in a prior period.

At March 31, 2011, aside from the Brazilian matter, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

Note 19. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used for fair value measurements. The three-level valuation hierarchy is based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and

•

Level 3 — Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable.

Financial instruments are transferred in and/or out of Level 3 at the beginning of the accounting period based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable inputs, observable components that are validated to external sources.

Securities are classified in Level 1 when quoted prices in an active market for identical securities are available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values of securities are determined using prices from a pricing vendor, pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow models and are generally classified in Level 2. These prices represent non-binding quotes. U.S. government and agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt securities are classified in Level 2. Our pricing vendor utilizes industry-standard pricing models that consider various inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. Securities are classified in Level 3 in certain cases where there are significant unobservable inputs to the valuation in the marketplace.

We conduct an annual review of our pricing vendor. This review includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing vendor to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include interest rate yields, bid/ask quotes, prepayment speeds and prices for comparable securities. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing vendor are a reliable representation of exit prices.

All derivatives are recorded at fair value. Internal models are used to value a majority of derivatives. The models use as their basis readily observable market inputs, such as time value, forward interest rates, volatility factors and current and forward market prices

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

for commodities and foreign currency exchange rates. Level 2 includes certain foreign currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, certain interest rate swaps, and warrants. Derivative contracts and other liabilities that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market inputs are classified in Level 3.

Ally Financial Common and Preferred Stock

We estimated the fair value of Ally Financial common stock using a market approach that applies the average price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies to the consolidated Ally Financial tangible book value. The significant inputs used in our fair value analysis were Ally Financial’s March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 financial statements, as well as the financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry.

We calculated the fair value of our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock as of December 31, 2010 using a discounted cash flow approach. The present value of the cash flows was determined using assumptions regarding the expected receipt of dividends on Ally Financial preferred stock and the expected call date.

On March 25, 2011 our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock was sold through a public offering for net proceeds of $1.0 billion. The gain of $0.3 billion related to the sale was recorded in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.
