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: 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 notes 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 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 nonconsolidated 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 nonconsolidated 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 to conform to our current presentation. The effects of these reclassifications increased Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $119 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, and decreased Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 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 in 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 has affected results of operations in 2011 because our Venezuelan subsidiaries 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 which include amounts receivable from and payable to, and transactions with, affiliated entities (dollars in millions):

Labor Force

On September 28, 2011 the 2011 GM-UAW Labor Agreement (Labor Agreement), which is a collectively bargained labor agreement between us and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW), was ratified. The Labor Agreement is effective for a four year term expiring in September 2015. The Labor Agreement includes lump sum payments in lieu of wage increases of $5,000 per employee in October 2011 and $1,000 per employee in June of 2012, 2013, and 2014. These lump sum payments will be amortized over the four year Labor Agreement period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. 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. 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.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU 2011-04). Key provisions of the amendments in ASU 2011-04 include: (1) a prohibition on grouping financial instruments for purposes of determining fair value, except in limited cases; (2) an extension of the prohibition against the use of a blockage factor to all fair value measurements; and (3) a requirement that for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, entities disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation process used and qualitative details about the sensitivity of the measurements. For items not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed, entities will be required to disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy that applies to the fair value measurement disclosed. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a significant effect on our fair value measurements utilized and the related disclosures within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (ASU 2011-08). Under the revised guidance, entities testing for goodwill impairment have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value for the reporting unit, i.e., Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If an entity determines, on a basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the first step of the two-step impairment test would be required. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. ASU 2011-08 does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill at least annually for impairment. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2011-08 effective October 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the conclusion reached during our annual or interim goodwill impairment assessments.

Note 3. Acquisition and Disposals of Businesses

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

In March 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 ended March 31, 2010 we recorded a gain of $123 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.

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.

Finance contracts are purchased by GM Financial from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent finance receivables of $448 million and $491 million.

GM Financial reviews its pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from its initial investment in the pre-acquisition portfolio to determine if the difference is attributable, at least, in part to credit quality. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 improvement in the performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio indicated that the non-accretable discount exceeded expected future credit losses by $197 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 GM Financial transferred this excess non-accretable discount as an offset to the accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

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. In March 2011 we recorded a gain of $1.6 billion related to the sale in Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments. 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 in February 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.

Under the new shareholder agreement, we retain 50% ownership but no longer have control. Accordingly, we removed the assets and liabilities of VMM, which included allocated goodwill of $36 million from our GME reporting unit, from our consolidated financial statements and recorded an equity interest in the amount of $46 million.

Shanghai OnStar Telematics Co., Ltd. (Shanghai OnStar)		40%		40%
Shanghai Chengxin Used Car Operation and Management Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Chengxin Used Car)		33%		33%

(a) Ownership interest in SGM was 49% in the period February 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 and 50% in the month of January 2010.

Sales and income of our China JVs are not consolidated in 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 in 1997 by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) (51%) and us (49%). 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%). These four joint ventures are engaged in the production, import, and sale of a comprehensive range of products under the brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac. SGM also has interests in Shanghai OnStar (20%) and Shanghai Chengxin Used Car (33%).

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.

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME had 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. GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2011, an impairment charge of $395 million was recorded in Goodwill impairment charges in 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.”

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, 2011 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 vehicles and a market share for GME of 6.6% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.4% 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.

Our Step 2 analyses indicated GME’s implied goodwill was less than 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 could decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating and would decrease upon 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.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

We believe future goodwill impairment charges could occur 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. Though our credit rating improved during the three months ended September 30, 2011, the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above did not decrease because credit spreads between high quality corporate bonds and market interest rates widened. As such, it was not more likely than not that further goodwill impairment existed at September 30, 2011. Therefore, no impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 our market capitalization (including the fair value of our preferred stock and warrants) declined and at times it approximated our recorded Total equity. Despite the decline, we do not believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units have decreased below their book values. Should the recent economic uncertainty continue, our equity price decline on a sustained basis, global economies enter into another recession and industry growth stagnates, or should we release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain international tax jurisdictions which could occur in the near future if additional positive evidence becomes available, the fair value of one or more of our reporting units may decrease below its book value, and future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized.

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 $130 million and $70 million, current derivative liabilities of $63 million and $111 million and long-term debt of $8 million and $835 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to Korea Development Bank (a minority shareholder in GM Korea), as trustee for the holders of GM Korea’s preferred shares, to redeem GM Korea’s preferred shares should GM Korea not redeem the shares. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and, in the case of loan origination, through 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.

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

20

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

that require us to provide future financial support. 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):

(b) Amounts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represented additional contingent future capital funding requirement related to HKJV.

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. Prior to June 2011 our primary variable interest, among others, in American Axle was a second lien term loan facility in which American Axle could borrow up to $100 million. In June 2011 the term loan facility was terminated thereby eliminating our explicit variable interest in American Axle.

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 was 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. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on our investment in HKJV.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

Senior Notes

In June 2011 GM Financial issued 6.75% senior notes of $500 million which are due in June 2018 with interest payable semiannually. On July 1, 2011 proceeds of $71 million from this offering were used to redeem all of GM Financial’s outstanding 8.50% senior notes due in 2015. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.75% senior notes, GM Financial entered into a registration rights agreement that requires GM Financial to file a registration statement relating to the registration with the SEC of an exchange offer with respect to the 6.75% senior notes and the subsidiary guaranty. GM Financial filed the registration statement on September 12, 2011. If the registration

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 qualified as a plan asset for funding purposes at the time of contribution and as a plan asset valued at $1.9 billion for accounting purposes in July 2011. We are evaluating whether we will make additional voluntary contributions to our U.S. pension plans.

Significant Plan Amendments, Benefit Modifications and Related Events

The Labor Agreement includes a provision that the Personal Retirement Plan, which is a cash balance pension plan for entry level employees, will be frozen on January 2, 2012 and terminated on June 30, 2012, subject to required regulatory approvals. Participants in the Personal Retirement Plan and all employees hired on or after October 1, 2007 will participate in a defined contribution plan.

Remeasurements

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 the Legal Services Plan, which provides legal services to U.S. hourly employees and retirees, was remeasured as a result of the Labor Agreement provisions which terminate the plan effective December 31, 2013. The negotiated termination has been accounted for as a negative plan amendment resulting in a decrease in the OPEB liability and a pre-tax increase of $266 million in the prior service credit component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, which will be amortized through December 31, 2013.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our goodwill impairment analysis, resulting in a decrease of $272 million in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to Notes 2 and 9 for additional information on our impairment of Goodwill.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010 the U.S. hourly defined benefit pension plan was amended to create a legally separate new defined benefit pension plan for entry level participants who are covered by the cash balance benefit formula, referred to as the Personal Retirement Plan. The underlying benefits offered to plan participants were unchanged. The remeasurement used a discount rate of 4.6% and increased the projected benefit obligations (PBO) by $5.8 billion. A discount rate of 5.5% was used at December 31, 2009. Additionally, higher than expected asset returns partially offset the discount rate effects and the remeasurement resulted in an increase of $2.4 billion in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax decrease in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. The remeasurement of the plan did not affect net periodic pension expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the three months ended June 30, 2010 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our goodwill impairment analysis, resulting in an increase of $388 million in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Canadian Health Care Trust

As previously reported, in December 2009 and May 2010 in furtherance of implementing its restructuring plan and pursuant to a June 2009 agreement between General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) and the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) to establish an independent Canadian Health Care Trust (HCT) to provide retiree healthcare benefits to certain active and retired employees, litigation commenced regarding GMCL’s right to unilaterally amend and terminate postretirement healthcare benefits. The

26

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

parties reached a settlement to consensually resolve the litigation, which was approved on September 13, 2011 by the Ontario Superior Court and was approved on September 19, 2011 by the Quebec Superior Court. At September 30, 2011 the settlement was not implemented because certain conditions precedent to the settlement had not been met, including the expiration of the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process. GMCL is obligated to make a payment to the HCT of CAD $1.0 billion within 10 days of the HCT implementation date, October 31, 2011, which it will fund out of its CAD $1.0 billion escrow funds, adjusted for the net difference between the amount of retiree monthly contributions received during the period January 1, 2010 through the HCT implementation date less the cost of benefits paid for claims incurred by covered employees during this period and certain related costs. GMCL also provided to the HCT a CAD $800 million note payable with interest accruing at an annual rate of 7.0% starting January 1, 2010 with five equal annual installments of CAD $256 million due December 31, 2014 through 2018. In addition, GMCL will make two additional payments of CAD $130 million each on December 31, 2014 and 2015. Concurrent with the implementation of the HCT, GMCL is legally released from all obligations associated with the cost of providing retiree healthcare benefits to CAW retirees and surviving spouses bound by the class action process and to CAW active employees as of June 8, 2009. As a result of conditions precedent to the settlement not having yet been achieved as of September 30, 2011, there was no accounting recognition for the HCT at September 30, 2011.

In October 2011 the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process elapsed. The conditions precedent to the settlement have been achieved and the HCT implementation date occurred on October 31, 2011, with the transfer of escrow funds to occur in November. We will account, in the three months ending December 31, 2011 for the related termination of CAW hourly retiree healthcare benefits as a settlement, and record a gain of approximately $800 million, based upon the difference between the fair value of the notes of approximately $1.1 billion and cash contributed and the healthcare plan obligation (as at the implementation date) relating to individuals who in the future will have their health care benefits provided by the HCT.

Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

At September 30, 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.

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.

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.

At September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

In 2010 we entered into a long-term supply agreement which provides for pricing to be partially denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the parties to the contract. This pricing feature was determined to be an embedded derivative which we have bifurcated for valuation and accounting purposes. The fair value of this embedded derivative was an asset of $138 million at September 30, 2011 and insignificant at December 31, 2010.

Other Derivatives

In February 2011 we exercised our warrants to purchase American Axle common stock. The shares acquired upon exercise were sold in February 2011 and we received proceeds of $48 million. At December 31, 2010 the fair value of these warrants was $44 million.

In connection with our investment in New Delphi, which we accounted for using the equity method, we recorded our share of New Delphi’s other comprehensive income (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive income. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we recorded cash flow hedging gains of $13 million and in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 we recorded cash flow hedging losses of $5 million and $20 million related to our share of New Delphi’s hedging losses. In March 2011 we sold our interests in New Delphi. As a result, previously recorded cash flow hedging losses of $10 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified to earnings and recorded in the gain on sale of New Delphi. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on the sale of our interests in New Delphi.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

GM Financial is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates due to floating interest rate exposure on its credit facilities and on certain securitization notes payable.

Guarantees

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of certain operating leases. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2016 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 2029 or are ongoing. We determined the fair value ascribed to the guarantees at inception and subsequent to inception 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 September 30, 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 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. Immaterial amounts have been recorded for such obligations as the majority of them are not probable or estimable at this time, and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

31

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

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 September 30, 2011 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $150 million to $360 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 in Accrued liabilities 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.

In accordance with our assumption from MLC 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. Based on both management judgments concerning the projected number and value of both dealer

32

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

indemnification obligations and product liability claims against us, we have applied appropriate actuarial methodologies and 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 $530 million to $700 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2011 was 135 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $114 million) in connection with these cases. The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs’ claim, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 533 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $452 million). GM Korea believes the claims 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 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 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). On June 22, 2011 the court granted GMCL permission to appeal the class certification decision. 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.

On April 6, 2010 the UAW filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (New VEBA). The UAW alleges that we were required to make this contribution pursuant to the UAW-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding Delphi Restructuring dated June 22, 2007 (Restructuring Agreement). The possible loss is $450 million, which is the amount claimed, but we believe that the claim is without merit and we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We filed a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York asserting that the UAW’s claim is barred by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement and by other orders issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that preclude additional GM contributions to the New VEBA. We also maintain that Delphi Corporation’s bankruptcy plan of reorganization did not fulfill the applicable conditions of the Restructuring Agreement and therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion abstaining from hearing the case, which will accordingly be litigated in Federal Court in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

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 September 30, 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 $217 million and $193 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Through September 30, 2011 spending was sufficient to meet the current requirements under the agreement and the specified milestones have been accomplished. Management has the intent and believes it has the ability to meet the future requirements under the agreement.

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 interim periods, income tax expense is comprised of two key elements: (1) the amount necessary to appropriately state the year to date estimated tax expense of entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, which is calculated as the difference between the amount currently estimated for the year to date period and the amount previously recorded in prior interim periods; and (2) the tax effect of unusual or infrequent items that occur in the period.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 the income tax expense of $107 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation partially offset by a tax benefit attributable to previously unrecognized tax benefits in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes reductions in interest expense associated with these previously unrecognized tax benefits. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 income tax expense of $183 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation partially offset by tax benefit attributable to previously unrecognized tax benefits in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes reductions in interest expense and valuation allowances associated with these previously unrecognized tax benefits. The effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010 income tax benefit of $25 million primarily resulted from income tax provisions attributable to profitable entities of $50 million included in our effective tax rate calculation offset by net tax benefit of $75 million attributable to unusual or infrequent items, none of which had a significant effect on tax expense either individually or in aggregate. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 income tax expense of $845 million primarily resulted from income tax provisions for profitable entities and a taxable foreign currency gain in Venezuela. As a result of the official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense related to the foreign currency exchange gain on the net monetary position of our foreign currency denominated assets.

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 2002 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 means that transfer pricing disputes may arise.

In the three months ended June 30, 2011 we settled a Brazilian income tax matter for $241 million that was reserved and disclosed in a prior period.

At September 30, 2011 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 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the accounting period in which there is a change in the valuation inputs.

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 service, 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. Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable inputs, observable components that are validated to external sources.

We measure fair value of our marketable securities using a market approach where identical or comparable prices are available, and an income approach in other cases. We obtain the majority of the prices used in this valuation from a pricing service. We conduct an annual review of our pricing service. This review includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing service to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include prices for comparable securities, bid/ask quotes, interest rate yields, and prepayment speeds. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service 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 for commodities and foreign currency exchange rates. Level 2 includes certain foreign currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, interest rate caps, and warrants. Derivative contracts and other liabilities that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market inputs are classified in Level 3. Level 3 derivative contracts include certain foreign currency derivatives, embedded derivatives and interest rate swaps.

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

We determined the fair value of debt based on a discounted cash flow model which used benchmark yield curves plus a spread that represented the yields on traded bonds of companies with comparable credit ratings.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and estimated fair values of short-term and long-term debt (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Carrying amount (a)	$	4,210	$	4,630
Fair value (a)	$	4,272	$	4,840

(a) Accounts and notes receivable, net and Accounts payable (principally trade) are not included because the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

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 financial statements, as well as the financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, resulting in a Level 3 measure.

In March 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.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and estimated fair value of Ally Financial common and preferred stock (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Common stock
Carrying amount (a)	$	958	$	964
Fair value	$	695	$	1,031
Preferred stock
Carrying amount			$	665
Fair value			$	1,055

(a) Investment in Ally Financial common stock at December 31, 2010 includes a 4.0% direct ownership and a 5.9% ownership held indirectly through an independent trust. In May 2011 we transferred all directly held shares to the independent trust.

As indicated in the table above, at September 30, 2011 the carrying amount of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. The financial markets, in particular the share prices for comparable companies in the banking and financial services industry, are currently experiencing significant volatility stemming, in part, from many broader macroeconomic uncertainties, including the eurozone debt crisis, an increasing risk of another recession and concerns about mortgage-related liabilities. It is reasonably possible that in a market-based transaction the actual fair value of Ally Financial common stock would be a value other than the estimated fair value. In addition, we assessed whether the decline in value represented an other-than-temporary impairment and concluded that the impairment is temporary. We believe that the recent economic uncertainty is weighing heavily on the valuation of financial institutions, including Ally Financial, and has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. We believe that this is a temporary condition. Should market conditions not recover in the near term, or the decline in fair value remain for an extended duration, we may conclude the impairment is other than temporary, resulting in an impairment charge. We currently have the ability and intent to hold the investment until its fair value recovers. We can cause the trustee to return all Ally Financial common stock currently held in the trust to us to hold directly.

Note 20. Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

(a) The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits to be paid.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the reserves by $95 million and $141 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were primarily related to: (1) changes to UAW hourly layoff benefits primarily related to the Labor Agreement; (2) Canadian restructuring activities and (3) a special attrition program for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

The Labor Agreement includes cash severance incentive programs which may range up to $90 million through March 31, 2012 for skilled trade employees that will be included in our restructuring liability upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties.

GME recorded charges and interest accretion and other of $106 million and $241 million for separation programs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to previously announced programs in Germany.

Restructuring and early retirement programs in Spain, the U.K. and Belgium were essentially completed in 2010 and we also initiated a program in Germany in 2010. Through September 30, 2011 these programs had a total cost of $900 million and affected a total of 5,800 employees and included the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility. We expect to incur an additional $300 million, primarily in 2011 and 2012, to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 1,600 employees. As these programs primarily involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are recorded until offers to employees are accepted. To the extent employees will be involuntarily terminated, a liability is recorded at the communication date.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that decreased the restructuring reserves by $51 million and $108 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decreases were primarily related to increased production capacity utilization, which resulted in the recall of idled employees to fill added shifts at multiple production sites, partially offset by Canadian restructuring activities.

Note 22. Earnings Per Share

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 we were required to use the two-class method for calculating earnings per share, as further discussed below, as the applicable market value of our common stock was below $33.00 per common share in the period ended September 30, 2011.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. In periods prior to our public offering, we utilized an average stock price based upon estimates of the fair value of our common stock. Subsequent to our public offering, we used the New York Stock Exchange price.

The following tables summarize basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Basic				Diluted

(a) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and $644 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Earnings of $166 million and $708 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the basic earnings per share calculation. Earnings of $156 million and $651 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Our Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security and requires the application of the two-class method for calculating earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock is below $33.00 or above $39.60 per common share. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the applicable market value is calculated as the average of the closing prices of our common stock over the 40 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the date of our financial statements. The calculation of the applicable market value at the date of our financial statements will apply to the current quarter and the year to date period presented, irrespective of the applicable market value computed during the prior quarters of the current year.

Under the two-class method for computing earnings per share, undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. This allocation to the Series B Preferred Stock holders reduced Net income attributable to common stockholders, resulting in a lower basic and dilutive earnings per share amount. Accordingly, variability may result in our calculation of earnings per share from period to period depending on whether the application of the two-class method is required.

Because the applicable market value of our common stock was below $33.00 per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we applied the two-class method to calculate basic earnings per share and the more dilutive of the two-class or the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share. The application of the two-class method resulted in an allocation of undistributed earnings to our Series B Preferred Stock holders and, accordingly, 152 million common stock equivalents from the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock are not considered outstanding for purposes of determining the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

In April 2011 MLC began distribution of 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants at any time prior to their respective expiration dates. Upon exercise of the warrants the shares issued will be included in the number of basic shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share.

Warrants to purchase 313 million shares of our common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2011, of which 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of the remaining warrants resulted in 119 million and 142 million dilutive shares in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to certain global executives. At September 30, 2011 there were 14 million unvested RSUs outstanding.

The Adjustment Shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the condition that would result in the issuance of the Adjustment Shares was not satisfied.

In July 2011 the 61 million shares of common stock contributed to our pension plans, in January 2011, met the criteria to qualify as plan assets for accounting purposes. Accordingly, these shares were considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes beginning in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, of which 46 million were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants’ exercise price was greater than the fair value of our common stock. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining 272 million shares resulted in 130 million and 88 million dilutive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Diluted earnings per share excluded the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives as these awards were payable in cash if settled prior to six months after a completion of a successful public offering. At September 30, 2010 a total of 18 million RSUs were outstanding, of which neither the vested nor unvested portion was included for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share due to the cash settlement condition at that time.

The Adjustment Shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the condition that would result in the issuance of the Adjustment Shares was not satisfied.

Note 23. Stock Incentive Plans

Consolidated

Our stock incentive plans consist of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended on December 22, 2010 (2009 GMLTIP) and the Salary Stock Plan as amended on October 5, 2010 (GMSSP). Both plans are administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the 2009 GMLTIP and the GMSSP shall not exceed 75 million shares.

The following table summarizes compensation expense recorded for our stock incentive plans (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months  Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Compensation expense	$	50	$	84	$	163	$	136

Income tax expense amounts were insignificant in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and did not include U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions with full valuation allowances.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we granted RSUs to certain global executives under the 2009 GMLTIP. The RSUs were valued on the date of grant at the fair value of our common stock. Awards granted under the 2009 GMLTIP either cliff vest or ratably vest generally over a three-year service period, as defined in the terms of each award. We have elected to record compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of RSUs.

Awards granted in 2011 to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle three years from the grant date in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our Troubled Asset Relief Program obligations that are repaid. The awards for the Next 75 highest compensated employees will settle either: (1) three years from the date of grant; or (2) on the first and third anniversary dates of grant. The awards to the non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will settle on the first, second, and third anniversary dates of grant. Vesting and subsequent settlement will generally occur based upon employment at the end of each specified service period.

Salary Stock

In November 2009 we initiated a salary stock program for certain global executives under the GMSSP whereby a portion of each participant’s total annual compensation was accrued and converted to RSUs at each salary payment date. Beginning in 2010 a portion of each participant’s salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

Note 25. Segment Reporting

Consolidated

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and parts worldwide. We also conduct finance operations through GM Financial. We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully loaded cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes and evaluates GM Financial through Income (loss) before income taxes.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.

In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed

through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of our customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:

•     Buick •     Cadillac •     Chevrolet •     GMC

The demands of our customers outside of North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following brands:

•     Buick	•     Chevrolet	•     GMC	•     Opel
•     Cadillac	•     Daewoo	•     Holden	•     Vauxhall

At September 30, 2011 we also had equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, including GM Korea, SGM, SGMW, FAW-GM and HKJV. These companies design, manufacture and market vehicles under the following brands:

•     Alpheon	•     Buick	•     Chevrolet	•     Jiefang
•     Baojun	•     Cadillac	•     Daewoo	•     Wuling

Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 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.”

Presentation and Estimates

Basis of Presentation

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (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.

Consistent with industry practice, market share information includes estimates of industry sales in certain countries where public reporting is not legally required or otherwise available on a consistent basis.

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.

Prior Period Financial Statements Conformed to Current Period Presentation

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 to conform to our current presentation. The effects of these reclassifications decreased Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $119 million and $68 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Overview

Our Company

Automotive

We are a leading global automotive company. Our vision is to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles. We seek to distinguish our vehicles through superior design, quality, reliability, telematics (wireless voice and data) and infotainment and safety within their respective segments. Our business is diversified across products and geographic markets. With a global network of independent dealers we meet the local sales and service needs of our retail and fleet customers. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 72.0% of our vehicle sales volume was generated outside the United States, including 42.6% from emerging markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (collectively BRIC), which have experienced the industry’s highest volume growth.

59

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our automotive business is organized into four geographically-based segments:

• GMNA, with sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and distribution operations in Central America and the Caribbean, represented 32.6% of our vehicle sales volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had the largest market share of any competitor in this market at 18.8%.

• GME has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations across Western and Central Europe. GME’s vehicle sales volume, which in addition to Western and Central Europe, includes Eastern Europe (including Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States among others) represented 19.4% of our vehicle sales volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had the number four market share in this market at 8.8%. GMIO distributes Chevrolet brand vehicles which, when sold in Europe, are included in GME vehicle sales volume and market share data.

• GMIO has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe (including Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States among others), Africa and the Middle East. GMIO’s vehicle sales volume, which includes Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East is our largest segment by vehicle sales volume and represented 36.2% of our vehicle sales volume including sales through our joint ventures in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had the number two market share for this market at 9.4% and the number one market share in China. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 GMIO derived 77.0% of its vehicle sales volume from China. GMIO records the financial results of Chevrolet brand vehicles that it distributes and sells in Europe.

• GMSA, with sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela as well as sales activities in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay represented 11.8% of our vehicle sales volume in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had the largest market share for this market at 18.9% and the number three market share in Brazil. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 GMSA derived 58.1% of its vehicle sales volume from Brazil.

We offer a global vehicle portfolio of cars, crossovers and trucks. We are committed to leadership in vehicle design, quality, reliability, telematics and infotainment and safety, as well as to developing key energy efficiency, energy diversity and advanced propulsion technologies, including electric vehicles with range extending capabilities such as the Chevrolet Volt.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial specializes in purchasing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles. GM Financial also offers lease products through GM franchised dealerships that target customers with prime and sub-prime credit bureau scores. GM Financial generates revenue and cash flows primarily through the purchase, retention, subsequent securitization and servicing of finance receivables. To fund the acquisition of receivables prior to securitization, GM Financial uses available cash and borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial earns finance charge income on the finance receivables and pays interest expense on borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial periodically transfers receivables to securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. The securitization trusts are special purpose entities (SPEs) that are also variable interest entities that meet the requirements to be consolidated in the financial statements.

Specific Management Initiatives

The execution of certain management initiatives is critical to continue the improvement in our results of operations and financial condition. These management initiatives are subsequently discussed.

Focus on Chinese Market

We view the Chinese market, the fastest growing global market by volume of vehicles sold, as important to our global growth strategy and are employing a multi-brand strategy, led by our Buick and Chevrolet brands. In the coming years, we plan to increasingly leverage our global architectures to increase the number of nameplates under the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac brands in China and continue to grow our business under the Wuling, Jiefang and Baojun brands.

The following table summarizes our direct ownership interests in our Chinese joint ventures, collectively referred to as China JVs:

Automotive Financing Strategy

Our automotive finance strategy centers around ensuring that our dealers and customers have consistently available, transparent and competitive financing options throughout the business and credit cycles.

61

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Historically Ally Financial has provided a majority of the financing for our dealers and a significant portion of the financing for our customers in the U.S., Canada, and other major international markets where we operate. Ally Financial historically has been our exclusive financing partner for incentivized retail financing programs in our major markets. Ally Financial continues to provide the majority of the financing needs of our dealers and customers.

The market disruption of 2008 and 2009 highlighted the need to ensure certainty of availability of credit throughout economic cycles in specific segments of the automotive financing market. In the U.S. and Canada we identified leasing and sub-prime lending as underserved areas that could benefit from increased financing sources and competition. In 2009 we partnered with U.S. Bank to offer incentivized leasing programs and with GM Financial to offer incentivized sub-prime retail financing in the U.S. We also partnered with TD Bank to offer incentivized retail financing programs in Canada.

In October 2010 we acquired GM Financial to further bolster our offerings in the leasing and sub-prime financing segments in the U.S. and Canada. We believe that by having our own capabilities in key segments of the market we will be able to achieve more competition and better service from the market, while ensuring certainty of availability through the business cycles.

On April 1, 2011 GM Financial acquired FinanciaLinx Corporation, an independent leasing company in Canada, to provide leasing to our customers throughout Canada. Given the importance of leasing and the current lack of availability of leasing offerings to our customers in the Canadian market (due to regulatory restrictions preventing banks and bank holding companies from offering leasing in Canada), we believe having a captive financing offering in Canada is strategically important to our business. GM Financial began originating leases for GM customers in Canada via FinanciaLinx Corporation in April 2011.

We will continue to expand the business of GM Financial in targeted areas that we view as strategic and to otherwise evaluate opportunities in specific segments of the automotive financing market, both in the United States and internationally. We expect any expansion of GM Financial or any arrangements with other financing providers will complement our important relationship with Ally Financial.

Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities.

Opel/Vauxhall Restructuring Activities

Restructuring and early retirement programs in Spain, the U.K. and Belgium were essentially completed in 2010 and we also initiated a program in Germany in 2010. Through September 30, 2011 these programs had a total cost of $0.9 billion and affected a total of 5,800 employees and included the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility. We expect to incur an additional $0.3 billion, primarily in 2011 and 2012, to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 1,600 employees.

Increased GMNA Production Volume

Increased U.S. industry vehicle sales and demand for our products have resulted in increased production volumes for GMNA. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 GMNA produced 740,000 vehicles and 2.4 million vehicles. This represents an increase of 4.7% and 11.6% compared to 707,000 vehicles and 2.1 million vehicles in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Increased U.S. Vehicle Sales

GMNA dealers in the U.S. sold 641,000 vehicles and 1.9 million vehicles in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represents an increase of 83,000 vehicles (or 14.8%) and 264,000 vehicles (or 16.1%) from our U.S. vehicle sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase reflects our brand rationalization strategy to focus our product engineering and design and marketing on our four brands. This strategy has resulted in increased consumer demand for certain products such as the Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac SRX.

2011 GM-UAW Labor Agreement

On September 28, 2011 the 2011 GM-UAW Labor Agreement (Labor Agreement) which is a collectively bargained labor agreement between us and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW) was ratified. The Labor Agreement covers the wages, hours, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for our UAW represented employees. The key terms and provisions of the Labor Agreement are:

• Lump sum payments to U.S. hourly employees of $5,000 were paid in October 2011 totaling $0.2 billion. Additional lump sum payments of $1,000 will be paid annually in June of 2012, 2013 and 2014 totaling $0.1 billion. The lump sum payments will be amortized over the four year agreement period.

• An annual payment of $250 per U.S. hourly employee upon attainment of specific U.S. vehicle quality targets.

• An increase in wages for certain entry level employees hired on or after October 1, 2007.

• The Personal Retirement Plan, which is a cash balance pension plan for entry level employees, will be frozen on January 2, 2012 and terminated on June 30, 2012, subject to required regulatory approvals. Participants in the Personal Retirement Plan and all employees hired on or after October 1, 2007 will participate in a defined contribution plan when the Personal Retirement Plan terminates.

• The Legal Services Plan, which provides legal services to U.S. hourly employees and retirees, will be terminated on December 31, 2013. In September 2011 we remeasured the Legal Services Plan resulting in a decrease of $0.3 billion in the other postretirement benefits (OPEB) liability and a pre-tax increase in the prior service credit component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, which will be amortized through December 31, 2013.

• The Profit Sharing Plan formula will be based on GMNA earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) adjusted and is effective for the 2011 plan year. The Profit Sharing payment is capped at $12,000 per employee per year.

• Cash severance incentive programs which may range up to $0.1 billion for skilled trade employees will be included in our restructuring liability upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties.

• We plan to make additional manufacturing investments of more than $2.0 billion to create or retain more than 6,300 UAW jobs during the four year agreement period.

Effect of Earthquake, Tsunami and Other Resulting Events in Japan

Although we have no production facilities in Japan, and do not generate material revenues from Japan, we do consume materials and components for our global operations from suppliers located in Japan. Due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan there have been shortages of materials and components from certain Japanese based suppliers. These shortages have minimally affected our vehicle production and resulted in us temporarily suspending production at one facility in the three months ended March 31, 2011. We have managed these shortages by optimizing the usage of parts that are, or will be, in short supply, pursuing alternate suppliers and modifying production schedules. The effect of any lost production in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and in the three months and year ending December 31, 2011 is and will be immaterial.

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

63

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 has affected results of operations in 2011 because our Venezuelan subsidiaries 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.

Canadian Health Care Trust

As previously reported, in December 2009 and May 2010 in furtherance of implementing its restructuring plan and pursuant to a June 2009 agreement between General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) and the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) to establish an independent Canadian Health Care Trust (HCT) to provide retiree healthcare benefits to certain active and retired employees, litigation commenced regarding GMCL’s right to unilaterally amend and terminate postretirement healthcare benefits. The parties reached a settlement to consensually resolve the litigation, which was approved on September 13, 2011 by the Ontario Superior Court and was approved on September 19, 2011 by the Quebec Superior Court. At September 30, 2011 the settlement was not implemented because certain conditions precedent to the settlement had not been met, including the expiration of the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process. GMCL is obligated to make a payment to the HCT of CAD $1.0 billion within 10 days of the HCT implementation date, October 31, 2011, which it will fund out of its CAD $1.0 billion escrow funds, adjusted for the net difference between the amount of retiree monthly contributions received during the period January 1, 2010 through the HCT implementation date less the cost of benefits paid for claims incurred by covered employees during this period and certain related costs. GMCL also provided to the HCT a CAD $800 million note payable with interest accruing at an annual rate of 7.0% starting January 1, 2010 with five equal annual installments of CAD $256 million due December 31, 2014 through 2018. In addition, GMCL will make two additional payments of CAD $130 million each on December 31, 2014 and 2015. Concurrent with the implementation of the HCT, GMCL is legally released from all obligations associated with the cost of providing retiree healthcare benefits to CAW retirees and surviving spouses bound by the class action process and to CAW active employees as of June 8, 2009. As a result of conditions precedent to the settlement not having yet been achieved as of September 30, 2011, there was no accounting recognition for the HCT at September 30, 2011.

In October 2011 the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process elapsed. The conditions precedent to the settlement have been achieved and the HCT implementation date occurred on October 31, 2011, with the transfer of escrow funds to occur in November. We will account, in the three months ending December 31, 2011 for the related termination of CAW hourly retiree healthcare benefits as a settlement, and record a gain of approximately $800 million, based upon the difference between the fair value of the notes of approximately $1.1 billion and cash contributed and the healthcare plan obligation (as at the implementation date) relating to individuals who in the future will have their health care benefits provided by the HCT.

Projected Fourth Quarter Results

With respect to the projected fourth quarter results for 2011, our independent registered public accounting firm has not compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to this information, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, it.

Based on current industry outlook, we expect our EBIT, excluding the HCT gain of approximately $800 million, in the fourth quarter of 2011 to be similar to the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of seasonal trends in North America and weakness in Europe.

EBIT for the year ending December 31, 2011 is expected to show solid improvement over 2010. However, we do not expect to achieve our target to break even on an EBIT-adjusted basis before restructuring charges in Europe, due to deteriorating economic conditions.

Production and Vehicle Sales Volume

Management believes that production volume and vehicle sales data provide meaningful information regarding our automotive operating results. Production volumes manufactured by our assembly facilities are generally aligned with current period net sales and revenue, as we generally recognize revenue upon the release of the vehicle to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer, which is shortly after the completion of production. Vehicle sales data, which includes retail and fleet sales, does not correlate directly to the revenue we recognize during the period. However, vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for our vehicles, and is the basis for our market share.

Reconciliation of Consolidated, Automotive and GM Financial Segment Results

Management believes EBIT provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our automotive segments’ operating results because it excludes amounts that management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization. Management believes these measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions. We believe EBIT is useful in allowing for greater transparency of our core operations and it is therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

While management believes that EBIT provides useful information, it is not an operating measure under U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations associated with its use. Our calculation of EBIT may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of EBIT has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income (loss) or Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. Due to these limitations, EBIT is used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.

Management believes income before income taxes provides meaningful supplemental information regarding GM Financial’s operating results. GM Financial uses a separate measure from our automotive operations because management believes interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of our automotive segments EBIT and GM Financial’s income before income taxes to Net income attributable to stockholders (dollars in millions):

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 Automotive cost of sales increased by $2.1 billion (or 7.3%), in line with increases in Total net sales and revenue, due primarily to: (1) unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $0.9 billion, primarily in GME of $0.4 billion, in GMIO of $0.3 billion and in GMSA of $0.2 billion due to the strengthening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; (2) increased production costs related to wholesale volume increases of $0.8 billion, primarily in GMNA of $0.6 billion and in GMIO of $0.6 billion, partially offset by increased eliminations of $0.3 billion; (3) increased material and manufacturing costs of $0.4 billion, due primarily to higher commodity prices across the regions; (4) increased engineering costs of $0.3 billion to support new product development; (5) unfavorable vehicle mix of $0.2 billion, primarily in GMIO of $0.1 billion and in GME of $0.1 billion; and (6) increased costs of $0.1 billion due to the acquisition of GM Strasbourg in GME; partially offset by (7) favorable foreign currency remeasurement of $0.3 billion in GMNA due to the weakening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar; and (8) decreased amortization expense of $0.3 billion due to impairment charges for product-specific tooling assets in the corresponding period in 2010 and the effect of double-declining amortization of technology intangibles which were recorded on July 10, 2009.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 Automotive cost of sales increased by $11.5 billion (or 13.4%), in line with increases in Total net sales and revenue, due primarily to: (1) increased production costs related to wholesale volume increases of $5.1 billion, in GMNA of $4.0 billion, in GMIO of $1.4 billion and in GME of $0.7 billion, partially offset by increased eliminations of $1.5 billion; (2) unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $2.9 billion, primarily in GME of $1.2 billion, in GMIO of $0.8 billion and in GMSA of $0.8 billion due to the strengthening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; (3) unfavorable vehicle mix of $2.0 billion, primarily in GMNA of $0.9 billion, in GME of $0.6 billion and in GMIO of $0.4 billion; (4) increased material and manufacturing costs of $1.1 billion, due primarily to higher commodity prices across the regions; (5) increased engineering costs of $1.0 billion to support new product development; (6) higher costs of $0.4 billion related to the increased revenue in GME Powertrain and GMNA Customer Care and Aftersales; and (7) increased costs of $0.3 billion due to the acquisition of GM Strasbourg in GME; partially offset by (8) decreased amortization expense of $0.6 billion due to impairment charges for product-specific tooling assets in the corresponding period in 2010 and the effect of double-declining amortization of technology intangibles which were recorded on July 10, 2009 and (9) higher restructuring charges in GME of $0.5 billion incurred in the corresponding period in 2010 to restructure our European operations; and (10) increase in net pension and OPEB income of $0.3 billion due to December 31, 2010 GMNA plan remeasurements.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 Automotive interest expense decreased by $0.2 billion (or 61.6%) due primarily to a reduction in our global average debt balance of $3.9 billion driven by the repayment in 2010 of notes issued to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (VEBA Notes) and debt facilities held at certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 Automotive interest expense decreased by $0.4 billion (or 52.4%) due primarily to a reduction in our global average debt balance of $6.3 billion driven by the repayment in 2010 of loans, which we assumed upon entering into agreements with the United States Department of the Treasury (UST Loans) and the Canadian government (Canadian Loan) and VEBA Notes.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 Interest income and other non-operating income, net increased by $0.3 billion (or 45.0%), due primarily to: (1) a gain of $0.3 billion recorded on the sale of our Ally Financial preferred stock; and (2) increased deferred revenue recognized of $0.1 billion in GMIO related to a service contract; partially offset by (3) a gain on the sale of Saab of $0.1 billion in the corresponding period in 2010.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 Income tax expense was $0.1 billion compared to a tax benefit of $25 million in the corresponding period in 2010. This increase in tax expense is due primarily to tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 Income tax expense decreased by $0.7 billion (or 78.3%) due primarily to: (1) decrease in tax expense due to recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 billion, which includes reductions to

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

interest expense of $0.2 billion and to valuation allowances of $0.1 billion; (2) decrease in tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation of $0.2 billion; and (3) decrease in tax expense attributable to a taxable foreign currency gain in Venezuela of $0.1 billion recorded in the corresponding period in 2010.

The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate in all periods, due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

Automotive

Current Assets

Marketable securities of $11.7 billion increased $6.1 billion (or 110.3%) due to investments in securities with maturities exceeding 90 days resulting primarily from our improved liquidity and cash position.

Accounts and notes receivable of $10.5 billion increased by $1.8 billion (or 20.8%) due primarily to: (1) increase related to the termination and modification of wholesale advance agreements with Ally Financial in GMNA, which had provided for accelerated receipt of payment on dealer sales financed through Ally Financial of $2.2 billion; and (2) increased sales volume in GMNA of $0.9 billion; partially offset by (3) collection of 2010 dividends of $0.9 billion primarily from our China JVs and (4) unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $0.2 billion.

Inventories of $15.2 billion increased by $3.1 billion (or 25.5%) due primarily to: (1) increased raw materials, finished goods and consigned inventory of $2.9 billion to support increased forecasted production and to build up inventory from seasonally low levels in December 2010 to support increased demand for our products; and (2) increased repurchases of leased vehicles of $0.3 billion; partially offset by (3) an unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $0.3 billion, primarily in GMIO and GMSA, due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against major currencies.

Equipment on operating leases, net of $3.5 billion increased by $0.9 billion (or 35.0%) due primarily to an increase of $0.6 billion in GMNA primarily related to vehicles leased to daily rental car companies (vehicles leased to U.S. daily rental car companies increased to 144,000 vehicles at September 30, 2011 from 118,000 vehicles at December 31, 2010), and an increase of $0.3 billion in GME due primarily to an increase in leased vehicles to 63,000 vehicles at September 30, 2011 from 40,000 vehicles at December 31, 2010.

Non-Current Assets

Equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates of $7.5 billion decreased by $1.0 billion (or 11.7%) due primarily to a decrease of $2.0 billion resulting from the March 2011 sale of our interest in New Delphi. This reduction was partially offset by equity income of $1.2 billion primarily related to our China JVs.

Property, net of $21.6 billion increased by $2.3 billion (or 12.1%) due primarily to: (1) capital expenditures of $5.3 billion; and (2) new capital leases of $0.4 billion; partially offset by (3) depreciation of $2.8 billion; (4) unfavorable foreign currency translation and remeasurement effects of $0.3 billion primarily in GMIO and GMSA due to the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against major currencies; (5) decreases of $0.1 billion associated with the deconsolidation of VM Motori (VMM); and (6) decreases of $0.1 billion associated with disposals.

Goodwill of $28.6 billion decreased by $1.9 billion (or 6.3%) due to impairment charges of $1.9 billion recognized upon our adoption of Accounting Standard Update (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 impairment charges, in GME, resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings of $1.5 billion and an impairment charge of $0.4 billion recorded in Goodwill impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Intangible assets, net of $10.5 billion decreased by $1.4 billion (or 11.6%) due primarily to amortization of $1.4 billion.

Other assets and deferred income taxes of $4.0 billion decreased $0.8 billion (or 16.5%) due primarily to the sale of our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock of $0.7 billion.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Current Liabilities

Accounts payable of $25.6 billion increased by $4.1 billion (or 19.3%) due primarily to: (1) increased payables of $3.0 billion for materials due to increased production volume; and (2) an increase in accounts payable for capital projects of $1.2 billion as we prepare for new vehicle launches; partially offset by (3) favorable foreign currency translation and remeasurement effects of $0.6 billion due to the weakening of most major currencies against the U.S. Dollar.

Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt of $1.5 billion decreased by $0.1 billion (or 4.5%) due primarily to payments on short-term debt of $1.1 billion, partially offset by reclassifications of $0.8 billion from long-term debt to short-term debt.

Accrued liabilities of $24.6 billion increased by $0.5 billion (or 2.1%) due primarily to: (1) an increase in customer deposits primarily related to the increased number of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies of $1.8 billion; and (2) an increase in product warranty and recall campaign accrual due to recent claims experience of $0.5 billion; partially offset by (3) net decreases in various accruals of $0.7 billion; (4) a decrease in income taxes of $0.5 billion due primarily to settlements of income tax liability in GMSA; (5) a decrease in dealer and customer sales allowances of $0.3 billion in GMNA; (6) favorable foreign currency translation and remeasurement effects of $0.2 billion due to the weakening of most major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; and (7) a net decrease in payroll and employee benefits accruals of $0.1 billion.

Non-Current Liabilities

Long-term debt of $2.7 billion decreased $0.3 billion (or 11.5%) due primarily to: (1) reclassifications of $0.8 billion from long-term debt to short-term debt; and (2) favorable foreign currency translation and remeasurement effects of $0.1 billion primarily in GMIO and GMSA due to weakening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; partially offset by (3) capital leases of $0.4 billion primarily in GME and GMNA; and (4) amortization of debt discounts of $0.1 billion.

Pensions liabilities of $18.7 billion decreased by $3.2 billion (or 14.7%) due primarily to: (1) contributions and benefit payments of $2.6 billion, including contribution of common stock to our U.S. hourly and salaried pension plans of $1.9 billion; (2) decrease related to the revaluation of pension plans of $0.3 billion in GME associated with goodwill impairment testing; and (3) expected return on assets in excess of service and interest expense of $0.3 billion.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

Total GM Financial Assets

Finance receivables, net of $8.9 billion increased by $0.7 billion (or 8.8%) due primarily to new loan originations of $3.8 billion partially offset by principal collections and gross charge offs of $3.1 billion.

Other assets of $1.0 billion increased by $0.6 billion (or 164.5%) due primarily to an increase in new leased vehicle originations of $0.5 billion and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $0.1 billion.

Total GM Financial Liabilities

Securitization notes payable of $6.9 billion increased by $0.8 billion (or 12.6%) due primarily to the issuance of new securitization notes payable of $3.7 billion partially offset by a normal principal amortization of $2.9 billion of the securitization notes payable.

Credit facilities of $0.6 billion decreased by $0.3 billion (or 33.5%) due primarily to lower utilization of the credit facilities as a result of the issuance of $3.7 billion of securitization notes payable and $0.5 billion of 6.75% senior notes.

Other liabilities of $0.8 billion increased by $0.4 billion (or 100.8%) due primarily to the issuance of $0.5 billion of 6.75% senior notes in June 2011.

Further information on each of our business segments is subsequently discussed.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 GMSA incurred an EBIT loss as compared to EBIT of $0.2 billion in the corresponding period in 2010 due primarily to: (1) increased material and manufacturing costs of $0.2 billion; and (2) foreign currency transaction gains of $0.1 billion recorded in 2010 due to the preferential foreign currency exchange rates in Venezuela, which CADIVI discontinued in 2011; partially offset by (3) favorable vehicle pricing effect of $0.1 billion, primarily in Venezuela driven by the hyperinflationary economy.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 EBIT decreased by $0.5 billion (or 83.5%) due primarily to: (1) increased material, freight and manufacturing costs of $0.7 billion; and (2) foreign currency transaction gains of $0.2 billion recorded in the corresponding period in 2010 due to the preferential foreign currency exchange rates in Venezuela, which CADIVI discontinued in 2011; partially offset by (3) favorable vehicle pricing effect of $0.3 billion, primarily in Venezuela driven by the hyperinflationary economy; and (4) favorable net foreign currency translation effect of $0.1 billion.

In January 2010 the Venezuelan government announced that the official fixed exchange rate of 2.15 BsF to $1.00 would be changed to a dual rate system that includes a 2.60 BsF to $1.00 essentials rate for food, technology and heavy machine importers and a 4.30 BsF to $1.00 non-essentials rate for all others. This devaluation required remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries’ non-U.S. Dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We used a rate of 4.30 BsF to $1.00 to determine the remeasurement, which resulted in a charge of $25 million recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the corresponding period in 2010.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 Net loss attributable to stockholders increased by $0.2 billion due primarily to: (1) intercompany activity of $0.2 billion that is eliminated in consolidation; (2) increased income tax expense of $0.1 billion due primarily to tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation; and (3) increased other expense items of $0.1 billion; partially offset by (4) decreased interest expense of $0.2 billion due primarily to a reduction in our global average debt balance of $3.9 billion driven by the repayment in 2010 of the VEBA Notes and debt facilities held at certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 Net loss attributable to stockholders decreased by $1.3 billion (or 92.8%) due primarily to: (1) decreased income tax expense of $0.7 billion due primarily to decreased tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation of $0.2 billion, decreased tax expense due to recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 billion, which included reductions to interest expense of $0.2 billion and to valuation allowances of $0.1 billion, and decreased tax expense attributable to a taxable foreign currency gain in Venezuela of $0.1 billion recorded in the corresponding period in 2010; (2) decreased interest expense of $0.4 billion due primarily to a reduction in our global average debt balance of $6.3 billion driven by the repayment in 2010 of the UST Loans, Canadian Loan and VEBA Notes; and (3) a gain of $0.3 billion related to the sale of our Ally Financial preferred stock; partially offset by (4) intercompany activity of $0.2 billion that is eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and our 2010 Form 10-K, some of which are outside our control. Macroeconomic conditions could limit our ability to successfully execute our business plans and, therefore, adversely affect our liquidity plans.

Automotive

Liquidity Overview

We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. However, we expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward, which we plan to fund through available liquidity and cash flow from operations. Our known material future uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) pension contributions and OPEB payments; (2) capital expenditures; (3) payments to reduce debt and other long-term obligations; and (4) certain South American income and indirect tax-related administrative proceedings may require that we deposit funds in escrow or make payments which may range up to $0.7 billion.

Recent Management Initiatives

We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to optimize our liquidity position and capital structure in order to strengthen our balance sheet.

Reduction of Financial Leverage

Reducing our financial leverage remains a key strategic initiative. We continue to evaluate potential repayments of long-term obligations prior to maturity. Any such repayments may negatively affect our liquidity in the short-term.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we prepaid and retired in full debt facilities of $1.0 billion held by certain of our subsidiaries, primarily in GMNA and GMSA. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of these debt facilities of $45 million. Our overall debt balances have not significantly changed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of these repayments due to increases in other debt facilities which fluctuate with sales volume.

We made a voluntary contribution in January 2011 to our U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit pension plans of 61 million shares of our common stock, valued at $2.2 billion for funding purposes at the time of contribution. The contributed shares qualified

86

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

as a plan asset for funding purposes at the time of contribution and as a plan asset valued at $1.9 billion for accounting purposes in July 2011. This contribution was made as part of our continuing efforts to mitigate risk in our balance sheet and fully fund long-term obligations.

Under wholesale financing arrangements, our U.S. dealers typically borrow money from financial institutions to fund their vehicle purchases from us. Effective January 2011 we terminated a wholesale advance agreement which provided for accelerated receipt of payments made by Ally Financial on behalf of our U.S. dealers pursuant to Ally Financial’s wholesale financing arrangements with dealers. Similar modifications were made in Canada and Mexico. The wholesale advance agreements cover the period for which vehicles are in transit between assembly plants and dealerships. We no longer receive payments in advance of the date vehicles purchased by dealers are scheduled to be delivered in GMNA, resulting in an increase to our accounts receivable balance of $2.2 billion at September 30, 2011. The amount of the increase to our accounts receivable balance depends on sales volumes, seasonal fluctuations and certain other factors. We expect the increase to our accounts receivable balances to moderate over the remainder of 2011.

In January 2011 we withdrew our application for loans available under Section 136 of the Energy Independence Security Act of 2007. This decision is consistent with our stated goal to minimize our outstanding debt.

Investment Actions including Reduction in Non-core Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 we accumulated Canadian Dollar denominated deposits and investments of $2.3 billion. These deposits and investments will incur foreign exchange gains or losses based on the movement of the Canadian Dollar in relation to the U.S. Dollar and will therefore reduce our net Canadian Dollar foreign exchange exposure, which primarily relates to pension and OPEB liabilities. We expect to accumulate and maintain a sufficient amount of Canadian Dollar deposits and investments to offset the liabilities denominated in Canadian Dollars. These funds continue to be available to fund our normal ongoing operations and are included in our available liquidity.

In March 2011 we sold our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi to New Delphi for $3.8 billion and recognized a gain of $1.6 billion. We had acquired our stake in October 2009 in conjunction with the creation of New Delphi. Also in March 2011 we sold our Ally Financial preferred stock for $1.0 billion and recognized a gain of $0.3 billion. Proceeds from these asset sales were used to strengthen liquidity and will be used for general corporate purposes.

We continue to monitor and explore the sale of other non-core assets. From time to time we consider the possibility of acquisitions, dispositions and strategic alliances that we believe would generate significant advantages and substantially strengthen our business.

Available Liquidity

Available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances. At September 30, 2011 our available liquidity was $32.0 billion, not including funds available under credit facilities of $5.9 billion or in the HCT escrow account of $1.0 billion. The amount of available liquidity is subject to intra-month and seasonal fluctuations and includes balances held by various business units and subsidiaries worldwide that are needed to fund their operations.

87

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

We manage our liquidity primarily at our U.S. and international treasury centers as well as at certain of our significant consolidated overseas subsidiaries. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities balances primarily include investments in U.S. government and agency obligations, time deposits and certificates of deposits, commercial paper, corporate debt securities and foreign government securities, and are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. We maintain cash balances in certain foreign currencies, such as the Canadian Dollar, to fund future payments on foreign currency denominated obligations thereby reducing a portion of the related foreign currency exposure. A portion of our total liquidity includes amounts deemed indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We have used and will continue to use other methods, including inter-company loans, to utilize these funds across our global operations as needed. The following table summarizes our liquidity (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Cash and cash equivalents	$	20,297	$	21,061
Marketable securities		11,680		5,555

Total liquidity including the HCT escrow account	$	38,818	$	33,543

(a) Classified as restricted cash and marketable securities which is recorded in Other current assets and deferred income taxes.

Total available liquidity increased by $5.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due primarily to positive cash flows from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of non-core assets partially offset by planned capital expenditures and repayments of debt obligations to reduce our financial leverage.

Credit Facilities

We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity. Our primary borrowing capacity under these credit facilities comes from our $5.0 billion secured revolving credit facility. The balance of our credit facilities are geographically dispersed across all regions. The following tables summarize our committed and uncommitted credit facilities (dollars in millions):

	Total Credit Facilities				Amounts Available Under Credit Facilities
	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010		September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

(a) Includes credit facilities of $200 million at December 31, 2010 which we terminated in July 2011 following the repayment of $30 million which was outstanding under the facility.

(b) Consists of credit facilities available primarily at our foreign subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 our secured revolving credit facility comprised $5.0 billion of the amounts available under committed credit facilities and other committed credit facilities had $306 million and $475 million available.

While we do not believe that we will draw on the secured revolving credit facility to fund operating activities, the facility provides additional liquidity and financing flexibility. Availability under the secured revolving credit facility is subject to borrowing base restrictions. Our obligations under the secured revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by a substantial portion of our domestic assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, property, plants, and equipment, real estate, intercompany loans, intellectual property, trademarks and direct investments in Ally Financial. Obligations are also secured by the equity interests in certain of our direct domestic subsidiaries, as well as up to 65% of the voting equity interests in certain of our direct foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral securing the secured revolving credit facility does not include, among other assets, cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, as well as our investment in GM Financial and our equity interests in our China JVs and in GM Korea. If we receive an investment grade corporate rating from two or more of the credit rating agencies (Fitch, Moody’s and S&P), we may no longer have to post collateral under the terms of the facility. Under the facility, we have access to a $5.0 billion credit line facility and an additional $2.0 billion non-loan facility which may be used for other collateral requirements.

Uncommitted credit facilities include lines of credit which are available to us, but under which the lenders have no legal obligation to provide funding upon our request. We and our subsidiaries use credit facilities to fund working capital needs, product programs, facilities development and other general corporate purposes.

Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities

Pursuant to an agreement among GMCL, Export Development of Canada and an escrow agent we had $1.0 billion remaining in an escrow account at September 30, 2011 to fund certain of GMCL’s healthcare obligations. GMCL is obligated to make a payment to the HCT of CAD $1.0 billion within 10 days of the HCT implementation date, October 31, 2011, which it will fund out of these escrow funds, adjusted for the net difference between the amount of retiree monthly contributions received during the period January 1, 2010 through the HCT implementation date less the cost of benefits paid for claims incurred by covered employees during this period and certain related costs. Refer to Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the HCT settlement.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had positive cash flows from operating activities of $6.2 billion due primarily to: (1) Net income of $8.2 billion, which included non-cash charges of $5.2 billion resulting from depreciation, impairment and amortization expense (including Goodwill impairment and amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts) and which also included gains of $1.9 billion related to the sale of our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi and our Ally Financial preferred stock; partially offset by (2) unfavorable changes in working capital of $3.1 billion driven primarily by an increase in accounts receivable related to the termination of the wholesale advance agreements and an increase in inventory partially offset by increases in accounts payable balances related to increased production; (3) pension contributions and OPEB payments of $1.2 billion; and (4) unfavorable changes in other operating assets of $0.8 billion.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we had positive cash flows from operating activities of $8.3 billion due primarily to: (1) Net income of $5.0 billion, which included non-cash charges of $5.3 billion resulting from depreciation, impairment and amortization expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts); (2) increase in income tax related balances of $0.5 billion; partially offset by (3) pension contributions and OPEB payments of $1.3 billion; and (4) unfavorable changes in working capital of $1.3 billion. The unfavorable changes in working capital were related to increases in accounts receivables and inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had negative cash flows from investing activities of $5.0 billion due primarily to: (1) net investments in marketable securities of $6.1 billion; and (2) capital expenditures of $4.1 billion; partially offset by (3) proceeds received from the sale of our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi and our Ally Financial preferred stock of $4.8 billion; and (4) a net decrease in restricted cash and marketable securities of $0.4 billion.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we had positive cash flows from investing activities of $4.1 billion due primarily to: (1) a reduction in restricted cash and marketable securities of $12.7 billion due primarily to withdrawals from the escrow account related to the secured credit agreement with the UST; (2) liquidations of operating leases of $0.3 billion; and (3) an increase in cash of $0.1 billion from the consolidation of General Motors Egypt; partially offset by (4) net investments in marketable securities with maturities greater than 90 days of $5.9 billion; and (5) capital expenditures of $3.1 billion.

Financing Activities

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we had negative cash flows from financing activities of $1.6 billion due primarily to: (1) net payments on debt facilities of $0.8 billion primarily related to our early payments to retire debt facilities in GMNA and GMSA; (2) dividend payments on our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock of $0.6 billion; and (3) payment to acquire additional interest in GM Korea of $0.1 billion. Refer to Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition of additional interest in GM Korea.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we had negative cash flows from financing activities of $7.9 billion due primarily to: (1) repayments on the UST Loans and Canadian Loan of $5.7 billion and $1.3 billion; (2) payments on other debt of $0.8 billion; (3) dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock of $0.6 billion; and (4) payments on a program announced in March 2009 to provide financial assistance to automotive suppliers of $0.2 billion; partially offset by (5) proceeds from other debt of $0.7 billion.

Status of Credit Ratings

We receive a general corporate credit rating and a facility-specific credit rating for our $5.0 billion secured revolving credit facility, from four independent credit rating agencies: Dominion Bond Rating Services (DBRS), Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s), and Standard & Poor’s (S&P). These ratings indicate the agencies’ assessment of a company’s creditworthiness

90

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

such as its ability to timely pay principal and interest on debt securities, dividends on preferred securities and other contractual obligations. Lower credit ratings generally represent higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets for a company. The agencies consider a number of business and financial factors when determining ratings including, but not limited to, our competitive position, sustainability of our profits and cash flows, our balance sheet and liquidity profile and our ability to meet obligations under adverse economic scenarios.

DBRS, Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P currently regard our corporate credit rating as non-investment grade. The following table summarizes our credit ratings at November 1, 2011:

Rating Agency	Corporate	Secured Revolving Credit Facility	Senior Unsecured	Outlook
DBRS	BB (high)	BBB (low)	N/A	Stable
Fitch	BB	BBB-	N/A	Positive
Moody’s	Ba1	Baa2	N/A	Positive
S&P	BB+	BBB	N/A	Stable

Rating actions taken by the credit rating agencies from January 1, 2011 through November 1, 2011 were as follows:

DBRS: November 2011 — Upgraded corporate rating to BB (high) from BB.

Fitch: October 2011 — Upgraded corporate rating to BB from BB- and upgraded secured revolving credit facility rating to BBB- from BB+. Outlook revised to positive from stable.

Moody’s: October 2011 — Upgraded corporate rating to Ba1 from Ba2 and upgraded secured revolving credit facility rating to Baa2 from Baa3. Outlook revised to positive from stable.

S&P: September 2011 — Upgraded corporate rating to BB+ from BB- and upgraded our secured revolving credit facility rating to BBB from BB+. Outlook revised to stable from positive. February 2011 — Outlook revised to positive from stable.

We continue to pursue obtaining investment grade status by maintaining a balance sheet with minimal financial leverage and demonstrating continued operating performance.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

Liquidity Overview

GM Financial’s primary sources of cash are finance charge income, rental income, servicing fees, distributions from securitization trusts, borrowings under credit facilities, transfers of finance receivables to trusts in securitization transactions and collections, recoveries on finance receivables and net proceeds from senior notes transactions. GM Financial’s primary uses of cash are purchases of finance receivables and leased assets, repayment of credit facilities, securitization notes payable and other indebtedness, funding credit enhancement requirements for securitization transactions and credit facilities and operating expenses.

GM Financial used cash of $3.8 billion for the purchases of finance receivables and $0.6 billion for the purchases of leased vehicles in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Generally, these purchases were funded initially utilizing cash and borrowings under credit facilities and subsequently funded in securitization transactions. GM Financial received cash of $2.8 billion from collections and recoveries on receivables in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Senior Notes

In June 2011 GM Financial issued 6.75% senior notes of $500 million which are due in June 2018 with interest payable semiannually. On July 1, 2011 proceeds of $71 million from this offering were used to redeem all of GM Financial’s outstanding 8.50% senior notes due in 2015. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.75% senior notes, GM Financial entered into a registration rights agreement that requires GM Financial to file a registration statement relating to the registration with the SEC of an exchange offer with respect to the 6.75% senior notes and the subsidiary guaranty. GM Financial filed the registration statement on September 12, 2011. If the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC within 210 days from the original issuance of the notes or ceases to remain effective, GM Financial will be required to pay the 6.75% senior note holders a maximum of $0.50 per week of additional interest per $1,000 of principal during the time the registration statement is not effective.

Credit Facilities

In the normal course of business, in addition to using available cash, GM Financial pledges receivables to and borrows under credit facilities to fund operations and repays these borrowings as appropriate under GM Financial’s cash management strategy. The following table summarizes GM Financial’s credit facilities (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding		Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding

(a) In February 2011 GM Financial extended the maturity date of the syndicated warehouse facility to May 2012 and increased the borrowing capacity to $2.0 billion from $1.3 billion.

(b) In January 2011 GM Financial entered into a lease warehouse facility for lease originations in the U.S. that matures in January 2012. Borrowings on the facility are collateralized by leased assets.

(c) In July 2011 GM Financial Canada Leasing Ltd., a subsidiary of GM Financial entered into a lease warehouse facility for lease originations in Canada that matures in July 2012. Borrowings on that facility are collateralized by leased assets. The facility amount represents CAD $600 million at September 30, 2011.

(d) The revolving period under this facility has ended and the outstanding debt balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the receivables pledged until October 2016 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable.

(e) The outstanding debt balance under the bank funding facility is secured by asset-backed securities of $27 million.

92

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

GM Financial is required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under the credit facilities and securitization notes payable. GM Financial’s funding agreements contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements or, with respect to the syndicated warehouse facility, restrict GM Financial’s ability to obtain additional borrowings.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan Contributions

We made a voluntary contribution in January 2011 to our U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit pension plans of 61 million shares of our common stock, valued at $2.2 billion for funding purposes at the time of contribution. The contributed shares qualified as a plan asset for funding purposes at the time of contribution and as a plan asset valued at $1.9 billion for accounting purposes in July 2011.

Guarantees Provided to Third Parties

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of operating leases, certain suppliers’ commitments, certain product-related claims and commercial loans made by Ally Financial and outstanding with certain third parties excluding vehicle repurchase obligations, residual support and risk sharing related to Ally Financial. The maximum potential obligation under these commitments was $1.1 billion and $1.0 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Our agreement with Ally Financial requires the repurchase of Ally Financial financed inventory invoiced to dealers after September 1, 2008, with limited exclusions, in the event of a qualifying voluntary or involuntary termination of the dealer’s sales and service agreement. Repurchase obligations exclude vehicles which are damaged, have excessive mileage or have been altered. The repurchase obligation ended in August 2010 for vehicles invoiced through August 2009, ended in August 2011 for vehicles invoiced through August 2010 and ends in August 2012 for vehicles invoiced through August 2011.

The maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made to Ally Financial under this guarantee would be based on the repurchase value of total eligible vehicles financed by Ally Financial in dealer stock and was estimated to be $19.4 billion and $18.8 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under this arrangement the total exposure would be reduced to the extent vehicles are able to be resold to another dealer or at auction. The fair value of the guarantee was $17 million and $21 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 which considers the likelihood of dealers terminating and the estimated loss exposure for the ultimate disposition of vehicles.

Refer to Notes 17 and 24 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on guarantees we have provided.

Required Pension Funding Obligations

We are subject to a variety of federal rules and regulations, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which govern the manner in which we fund and administer our pensions for our retired employees and their spouses. Additionally, the Pension Relief Act of 2010 (PRA) provides us with options to amortize any shortfall amortization base for U.S. qualified pension plans either (1) over seven years with amortization starting two years after the election of this relief or (2) over 15 years. We have elected the 15-year amortization funding relief option for certain of our U.S. pension plans for the most recent pension funding valuation as of October 1, 2010. The election of the 15-year amortization option has enabled us to defer the funding requirements to future years. We do not have any required contributions payable to our U.S. qualified plans in 2011.

The next pension funding valuation to be prepared based on the requirements of the PPA will be as of October 1, 2011. Based on the PPA, we have the option to select a funding interest rate for the valuation based on either the Full Yield Curve method or the 3-Segment method, both of which are considered to be acceptable methods. A hypothetical valuation at September 30, 2011, assuming either the Full Yield Curve rate or the 3-Segment rate at September 30, 2011 for the plan year beginning October 1, 2011 and for all future valuations, projects no required contributions through 2016. We have assumed that the pension plans earn the expected return of 8.0% and no further changes in funding interest rates.

The funding interest rate and return on assets rate sensitivities for projected future required contributions are shown below (in billions):

	Funding Interest Rate Sensitivity Table										Estimated Return  on Assets–7% - 100 Basis Point Decrease
	50 Basis Point Increase		25 Basis Point Increase		Base Line		25 Basis Point Decrease		50 Basis Point Decrease

2016	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	0.8	$	—

The hypothetical valuation and the funding interest rate and return on assets rate sensitivities consider our 2010 plan year election of relief for certain of our U.S. pension plans but do not consider the potential election of relief provisions that are available to us for the 2011 plan year valuation under the PRA.

Fair Value Measurements

Automotive

At September 30, 2011 assets and liabilities classified in Level 3 were not significant. Prior to the three months ended December 31, 2010 significant assets and liabilities classified in Level 3, with the related Level 3 inputs, were as follows:

• Foreign currency derivatives — Level 3 inputs used to determine the fair value of foreign currency derivative liabilities include the appropriate credit spread to measure our nonperformance risk. Given our nonperformance risk was not observable through a liquid credit default swap market we based this measurement on an analysis of comparable industrial companies to determine the appropriate credit spread which would be applied to us by market participants. In the three months ended December 31, 2010 we incorporated our published credit agency ratings into our credit rating conclusions. In the three months ended December 31, 2010 we determined that our nonperformance risk no longer represented a significant input in the determination of the fair value of our foreign currency derivative liabilities and transferred these liabilities to Level 2.

94

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Refer to Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities. Refer to Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding derivative financial instruments.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

At September 30, 2011 we used Level 3 inputs to measure net assets of $49 million (or less than 0.1% of our total assets included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet). These net assets included assets of $138 million (or 0.5% of the total assets measured at fair value), and liabilities of $89 million (or 56.0% of the total liabilities measured at fair value).

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs decreased $30 million from a net asset of $79 million to a net asset of $49 million due primarily to losses recorded during the period. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs increased $63 million from a net liability of $14 million to a net asset of $49 million due primarily to unrealized gains on embedded derivatives, partially offset by unrealized losses on options.

At December 31, 2010 we used Level 3 inputs to measure net liabilities of $14 million (or less than 0.1% of our total liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet). These net liabilities included assets of $10 million (or less than 0.1% of the total assets measured at fair value), and liabilities of $24 million (or 16.4% of the total liabilities measured at fair value).

At December 31, 2010 our nonperformance risk remained unobservable through a liquid credit default swap market. During the three months ended December 31, 2010 we determined that our nonperformance risk no longer represented a significant input in the determination of the fair value of our derivatives. The effect of our nonperformance risk in the valuation was reduced due to the reduction in the remaining duration and magnitude of these net derivative liability positions. In October 2010 we transferred foreign currency derivatives with a fair market value of $183 million from Level 3 to Level 2.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs did not have a material effect on operations, liquidity or capital resources in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

At September 30, 2011 significant assets and liabilities classified in Level 3, with the related Level 3 inputs, are as follows:

• Interest rate swaps — Level 3 inputs are used to determine the fair value of GM Financial’s interest rate swaps because they are not exchange traded but instead traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. The fair value of derivatives is derived using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as interest rate yield curves and credit curves. The effects of GM Financial’s and the counterparties’ non-performance risk to the derivative trades are considered when measuring the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities.

Refer to Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. The critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described in the MD&A section in our 2010 Form 10-K, with updates to our critical accounting estimates related to events occurring subsequent to the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K discussed below.

We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

In December 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2010-28. The amendments in this ASU 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. Any

96

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

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. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME has a negative carrying amount and we determined that it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment existed at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 due to decreases in our nonperformance risk and improvements in our incremental borrowing interest rates occurring since July 10, 2009 through March 31, 2011.

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 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. Both the impairment charge recorded as a result of the initial adoption of ASU 2010-28 and the March 31, 2011 measurement 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 the high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit 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. Refer to Notes 2 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the adoption of ASU 2010-28.

When applying fresh-start reporting certain accounts in GME, primarily employee benefit and income tax related, were recorded at amounts determined under specific U.S. GAAP rather than fair value, and the difference between the U.S. GAAP and fair value amounts gave rise to goodwill, which is a residual. Our employee benefit related accounts were recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 712 “Compensation — Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits” and ASC 715 “Compensation Benefits.” The discount rates utilized to determine the fair value of these obligations were based on our incremental borrowing rates, which included our nonperformance risk. Our incremental borrowing rates are also affected by changes in market interest rates. Deferred income taxes were recorded in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Further, we recorded valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, which under ASC 852, “Reorganizations” also resulted in goodwill. If all identifiable assets and liabilities had been recorded at fair value upon application of fresh-start reporting, no goodwill would have resulted.

GME has a negative carrying amount and we determined that it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment existed at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 due to decreases in our nonperformance risk and improvements in our incremental borrowing interest rates occurring since July 10, 2009 through March 31, 2011. As such, 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 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 ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” 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, 2011 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 vehicles and a market share for GME of 6.6% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.4% 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 our application of fresh-start reporting.

97

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The key assumptions utilized in determining the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences are the determination of our nonperformance risk, interest rates and the estimated timing of the utilization of our deferred tax assets. Of these factors, the amount of implied goodwill within GME at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 is most sensitive to changes in our nonperformance risk and interest rates.

The following table summarizes the effect on determination of the implied goodwill of GME at March 31, 2011 (the last date on which goodwill was remeasured for financial reporting purposes) of changes in our incremental borrowing rates utilized in calculating the implied goodwill for GME (dollars in millions):

	Effect on Implied Goodwill at March 31, 2011
Change in Incremental Borrowing Rates
25 basis point decrease in our incremental borrowing rates	$	(137	)
25 basis point increase in our incremental borrowing rates	$	131

The following table summarizes the effect on the implied goodwill of GME at March 31, 2011 of changes in high quality corporate rates in calculating the implied goodwill for GME (dollars in millions):

	Effect on Implied Goodwill at March 31, 2011
Change in High Quality Corporate Rates
25 basis point decrease in high quality corporate rates	$	333
25 basis point increase in high quality corporate rates	$	(314	)

Future goodwill impairments could occur within GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease, GME continue 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 could decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating and would decrease upon a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bonds 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 that 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 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. Though our credit rating improved during the three months ended September 30, 2011, the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above did not decrease because credit spreads between high quality corporate bonds and market interest rates widened. As such, it was not more likely than not that further goodwill impairment existed at September 30, 2011. Therefore, no impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 our market capitalization declined and at times it approximated our recorded Total equity. Despite the decline, we do not believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units have decreased below their book values. Should the recent economic uncertainty continue, our equity price decline on a sustained basis, global

98

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

economies enter into another recession and industry growth stagnates, or should we release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain international tax jurisdictions which could occur in the near future if additional positive evidence becomes available, the fair value of one or more of our reporting units may decrease below its book value, and future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized.

Impairment of Ally Financial Common Stock

At September 30, 2011 the book value of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. Therefore, we evaluated it for impairment. An impairment charge would be recorded whenever a decline in value of an equity investment below its carrying amount is determined to be other than temporary. In determining if a decline is other than temporary we consider such factors as the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying amount of the equity affiliate, the near-term and longer-term operating and financial prospects of the affiliate and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. Based on our assessment, we concluded the impairment is temporary. Refer to Note 19 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our fair value estimate of our Ally Financial common stock and our conclusion that the decline in value is temporary.

Deferred Taxes / Valuation Allowances

We establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. We consider the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of deferred tax assets:

• Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

• Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;

• Taxable income in prior carryback years; and

• Tax-planning strategies.

The assessment regarding whether a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted also considers all available positive and negative evidence factors, including but not limited to:

• Nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses;

• Duration of statutory carryforward periods;

• Historical experience with tax attributes expiring unused; and

• Near- and medium-term financial outlook.

Concluding a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence that is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. We utilize a rolling three years of actual and current year anticipated results as the primary measure of cumulative losses in recent years, as adjusted for non-recurring matters.

The valuation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents our best estimate of those future events. Changes in our current estimates, due to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Though objective and verifiable negative evidence continues to outweigh positive evidence in jurisdictions with significant valuation allowances, we are experiencing positive evidence trends in certain of these jurisdictions.

99

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Profits generated from South Korea and Australia operations have recently overcome adjusted three-year cumulative losses. However, a number of negative evidence factors continue to affect the need for a valuation allowance in South Korea and Australia. In South Korea there remains economic and industry uncertainty and limited carryforward lives of key tax attributes. In Australia, there remains economic and industry uncertainty and a shorter history of profitability. After reviewing all factors, if additional positive evidence becomes available, we may reverse a substantial portion of our Korean and Australian valuation allowances. At September 30, 2011 deferred tax valuation allowances for South Korea and Australia were $0.7 billion and $0.4 billion.

U.S. and Canadian operations are also experiencing current profitability, but these operations remain in an adjusted cumulative three-year loss position at September 30, 2011. To the extent this profitability trend continues, it is reasonably possible our conclusion regarding the need for full valuation allowances could change, resulting in the reversal of some or all of the valuation allowances. At September 30, 2011 deferred tax asset valuation allowances for U.S. and Canada were $32.2 billion and $3.1 billion.

In a valuation allowance environment, utilization of tax attributes to offset taxable income reduces the overall level of deferred tax assets subject to valuation allowance. Additionally, our recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded. Our effective tax rate will approach the statutory tax rate in periods after valuation allowances are reversed. In the quarter in which valuation allowances are released, we will record a material tax benefit reflecting the release, which could result in a negative effective tax rate. Valuation allowance releases could result in goodwill impairment. Refer to Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to goodwill impairment charges.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no significant changes in our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2010. Refer to Item 7A in our 2010 Form 10-K.

*  *  *  *  *  *

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chairman and CEO and Senior Vice President and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) at September 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, at that date, the disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 were effective as of September 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent limitations; it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. A control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process; therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The discussion in the following paragraphs is limited to an update of developments that have occurred in various material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. These proceedings are fully described in our 2010 Form 10-K, as updated in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011, and as further updated in our 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011. We and the other defendants affiliated with us intend to defend all of the following actions vigorously.

UAW VEBA Contribution Claim

As previously reported, on April 6, 2010, the UAW filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (New VEBA). The UAW alleges that we were required to make this contribution pursuant to the UAW-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding Delphi Restructuring dated June 22, 2007 (restructuring agreement). We believe that the claim is without merit. We filed a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York asserting that the UAW’s claim is barred by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement and by other orders issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that preclude additional GM contributions to the New VEBA. We also maintain that Delphi Corporation’s bankruptcy plan of reorganization did not fulfill the applicable conditions of the restructuring agreement and that therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion abstaining from hearing the case, which will accordingly be litigated in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Canadian HealthCare Litigation

As previously reported, in December 2009 and May 2010 in furtherance of implementing its restructuring plan and pursuant to a June 2009 agreement between General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) and the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) to establish an independent Canadian Health Care Trust (HCT) to provide retiree healthcare benefits to certain active and retired employees, litigation commenced regarding GMCL’s right to unilaterally amend and terminate postretirement healthcare benefits. The parties reached a settlement to consensually resolve the litigation, which was approved on September 13, 2011 by the Ontario Superior Court and was approved on September 19, 2011 by the Quebec Superior Court. At September 30, 2011 the settlement was not implemented because certain conditions precedent to the settlement had not been met, including the expiration of the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process. GMCL is obligated to make a payment to the HCT of CAD $1.0 billion within 10 days of the HCT implementation date, October 31, 2011, which it will fund out of its CAD $1.0 billion escrow funds, adjusted for the net difference between the amount of retiree monthly contributions received during the period January 1, 2010 through the HCT implementation date less the cost of benefits paid for claims incurred by covered employees during this period and certain related costs. GMCL also provided to the HCT a CAD $800 million note payable with interest accruing at an annual rate of 7.0% starting January 1, 2010 with five equal annual installments of CAD $256 million due December 31, 2014 through 2018. In addition, GMCL will make two additional payments of CAD $130 million each on December 31, 2014 and 2015. Concurrent with the implementation of the HCT, GMCL is legally released from all obligations associated with the cost of providing retiree healthcare benefits to CAW retirees and surviving spouses bound by the class action process and to CAW active employees as of June 8, 2009.

In October 2011 the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process elapsed. The conditions precedent to the settlement have been achieved and the HCT implementation date occurred on October 31, 2011, with the transfer of escrow funds to occur in November.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risk factors.

Other than as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K. While we described each risk separately, some of these risks are interrelated and certain risks could trigger the applicability of other risks.

Our automotive manufacturing operations are dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to provide us with systems, components, and parts and any disruption in our suppliers’ operations could disrupt our production schedule and adversely affect our operations.

Our automotive manufacturing operations are dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to deliver the systems, components, and parts we need to manufacture our products. Our use of “just-in-time” manufacturing processes results in our having minimal inventories of the systems, components, and parts we need to conduct our automotive manufacturing operations. As a result, our ability to maintain production is dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of systems, components, and parts at such times as allow us to meet our production schedules. A disruption in any of our suppliers’ operations, even if for a relatively short period of time, could cause us to alter our production schedules or suspend production entirely. For example, in March 2011 we suspended production at our Shreveport, Louisiana assembly facility due to a parts shortage resulting from the earthquake off the coast of Japan. In some instances, we purchase systems, components, parts and supplies from a single source and may be at an increased risk for supply disruptions. Where we experience supply disruptions, we may not be able to develop alternate sourcing quickly. Any disruption of our production schedule caused by an unexpected shortage of systems, components, or parts could adversely affect our financial results.

Goodwill impairments could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.

We test our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year for all reporting units, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would warrant such a review. Because GME has a negative carrying amount, we test GME for goodwill impairment whenever it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied value. As discussed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe goodwill impairment charges could occur in the future related to GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP adjustments differences decrease. Should the fair value of the GME business not increase sufficiently to offset any possible decreases in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that gave rise to goodwill in fresh-start reporting, we could incur a goodwill impairment. Decreases in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that could result in a goodwill impairment could occur upon: (1) a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates; (2) an increase in high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit plan obligations; (3) a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk; and (4) upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

Recently, our market capitalization has declined and at times has approximated our recorded Total equity. If, at some point in the future, it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units have decreased below their book values we may have to take a goodwill impairment charge. Factors that could negatively impact the fair values of our reporting units include a continuation of the recent economic uncertainty, the possibility of global economies entering into another recession or the stagnation of industry growth. We may also release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain international tax jurisdictions. Such factors and events could result in future goodwill impairments that may result in material non-cash charges to our earnings and results of operations. Any such goodwill impairments will result in charges to our earnings and will have a non-cash effect on our results of operations.

New laws, regulations, or policies of governmental organizations regarding increased fuel economy requirements and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, or changes in existing ones, may have a significant effect on how we do business.

We are affected significantly by governmental regulations that can increase costs related to the production of our vehicles and affect our product portfolio. We anticipate that the number and extent of these regulations, and the related costs and changes to our

104

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

product lineup, will increase significantly in the future. In the U.S. and Europe, for example, governmental regulation is driven primarily by concerns about the environment (including greenhouse gas emissions), vehicle safety, fuel economy, and energy security. These government regulatory requirements could significantly affect our plans for global product development and may result in substantial costs, including civil penalties. They may also result in limits on the types of vehicles we sell and where we sell them, which can affect revenue.

United States Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) provisions in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandate fuel economy standards beginning in the 2011 model year that would increase to at least 35 mpg by 2020 on a combined car and truck fleet basis, a 40% increase over current levels. California is implementing AB 1493 which will require increased fuel economy. This California program has standards currently established for the 2009 model year through the 2016 model year. Fourteen additional states and the Province of Quebec have also adopted the California greenhouse gas standards.

In May 2009 President Obama announced his intention for the federal government to implement a harmonized federal program to regulate vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gases. He directed the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) to work together to create standards through a joint rulemaking for control of emissions of greenhouse gases and for fuel economy. In the first phase, these standards would apply to passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles built in model years 2012 through 2016. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has agreed that compliance with EPA’s greenhouse gas standards will be deemed compliance with the California greenhouse gas standards for the 2012 through 2016 model years. The EPA and the United States National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), on behalf of DOT, issued their final rule to implement this new federal program in April 2010.

In May 2010 President Obama requested that EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of DOT, develop a coordinated national program to regulate the fuel economy and greenhouse gases of cars and trucks in the 2017 through 2025 model years. The President also directed the agencies to work with CARB to develop a technical assessment to inform the rulemaking process. In September 2010, EPA and NHTSA released a Notice of Intent to begin development of the 2017 through 2025 standards and also released an Interim Joint Technical Assessment Report prepared in cooperation with CARB. A Supplemental Notice of Intent was issued in November 2010 in response to comments received by the agencies on the first Notice of Intent and the Interim Joint Technical Assessment Report. Following further assessment and review, the agencies released another Supplemental Notice of Intent on July 29, 2011 in which EPA and NHTSA described their intent to propose separate but harmonized standards that would be footprint-based, like the current standards set through the 2016 model year, and that would become more stringent each year from 2017 through 2025. EPA projects that its proposed standards would achieve an average industry fleet of 163 grams/mile of CO₂ in the 2025 model year, which would be the equivalent of 54.5 mpg if all the CO₂ emissions reduction came from fuel economy technology. NHTSA intends to propose standards that would require an average industry fleet fuel economy of 49.6 mpg in the 2025 model year. NHTSA’s proposed increase to 49.6 mpg is lower than EPA’s projected 54.5 mpg equivalent due to the need to harmonize the two sets of standards and due to statutory constraints on NHTSA’s authority to set standards. Both agencies intend to propose various flexibilities to incentivize early adoption and introduction of advanced technologies that are anticipated to help manufacturers achieve these standards.

On July 29, 2011 we signed a letter of commitment stating our support for the proposal and adoption of harmonized national standards for the 2017 through 2025 model years. Similar commitment letters were signed by other major original equipment manufacturers and by CARB. Our commitment letter commits us to not contest the final standards established by federal rulemaking and by CARB for the 2017 through 2025 model years if: (1) EPA and NHTSA propose and ultimately adopt standards substantially as described in the July 2011 Supplemental Notice of Intent, but with necessary technical corrections and any non-substantive refinements, and (2) if CARB adopts standards such that compliance with the federal standards will be deemed compliance with the California standards in a manner binding as well on states that adopted California standards. An important element of the proposed national program will be a comprehensive mid-term review of the new standards, which will be completed by April 2018, and which may lead to standards for the 2022 through 2025 model years different than originally proposed. By September 30, 2011, EPA, NHTSA and CARB are expected to propose their respective regulatory requirements to implement the 2017 through 2025 national program. Rulemaking is expected to be completed in July 2012.

We have committed to work with EPA, the NHTSA, the states, and other stakeholders in support of a strong national program to reduce oil consumption and address global climate change.

105

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

We are committed to meeting or exceeding these regulatory requirements, and our product plan of record projects compliance with the anticipated federal program through the 2021 model year. The standards for the 2022 through 2025 model years may differ from the levels proposed as a result of the mid-term review. Therefore, we believe it is premature to project compliance with possible standards for those years. We expect that to comply with these standards we will be required to sell a significant volume of hybrid or electrically powered vehicles throughout the U.S., as well as implement new technologies for conventional internal combustion engines, all at increased cost levels. There is no assurance that we will be able to produce and sell vehicles that use such technologies on a profitable basis, or that our customers will purchase such vehicles in the quantities necessary for us to comply with these regulatory programs.

The European Union (EU) passed legislation, effective in April 2009 to begin regulating vehicle CO₂ emissions beginning in 2012. The legislation sets a target of a fleet average of 95 grams per kilometer for 2020, with the requirements for each manufacturer based on the weight of the vehicles it sells. Additional measures have been proposed or adopted in Europe to regulate features such as tire rolling resistance, vehicle air conditioners, tire pressure monitors, gear shift indicators, and others. At the national level, 17 EU Member States have adopted some form of fuel consumption or carbon dioxide-based vehicle taxation system, which could result in specific market requirements for us to introduce technology earlier than is required for compliance with the EU emissions standards.

Other governments around the world, such as Canada, South Korea, and China are also creating new policies to address these same issues. As in the U.S., these government policies could significantly affect our plans for product development. Due to these regulations, we could be subject to sizable civil penalties or have to restrict product offerings drastically to remain in compliance. The regulations will result in substantial costs, which could be difficult to pass through to our customers, and could result in limits on the types of vehicles we sell and where we sell them, which could affect our operations, including facility closings, reduced employment, increased costs, and loss of revenue.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On September 30, 2011 we awarded an aggregate of 651,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) to global executives pursuant to our Salary Stock Plan as amended on October 5, 2010 (GMSSP). Each RSU under the GMSSP is the economic equivalent of one share of our common stock. The RSUs do not have an expiration or exercise date or carry a conversion or exercise price. The awards will be settled in 12 equal, quarterly installments beginning on September 30, 2012. Each RSU is fully vested and presents the right to receive one share of our common stock on the applicable settlement date. Under the GMSSP, the fair value of our common stock is the average of the high and low trading prices for our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, on which our common stock is listed, on the date of the transaction. The securities described in this paragraph were issued pursuant to written compensatory plans or arrangements with our employees in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. There were no proceeds associated with these awards.

General Motors

Executive Retirement Plan

With Modifications through July 1, 2011

GENERAL MOTORS

EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

The General Motors Executive Retirement Plan (ERP) (the Plan) is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan is structured to qualify for certain exemptions from the eligibility, funding and other requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and, further, ERP benefits are computed without regard to compensation limits imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.

Article I. Purpose; Administration; and Effective Date

Article I, Section I. Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of the General Motors Executive Retirement Plan (the Plan) is to help provide eligible retiring salaried executive employees of General Motors LLC (“the Company”), and certain executive employees of General Motors Investment Management Co. (GMIMCo, formerly Promark), GM Global Steering Holdings LLC, and GM Components Holdings, an overall level of monthly retirement benefits, or lump sum distributions of account balances, which are competitive with the benefits provided executives retiring from or ending careers with other major U.S. industrial companies based on years of employment. Eligible active executive level employees, former executive level employees who on or after January 1, 2007 were reduced to a classified position after having obtained the age of 55 and 10 years of eligible service, and former executive level employees who, in each case, have separated from service and are otherwise eligible, shall be referred to herein as “Participants.” The Company, GMIMCo, GM Global Steering Holdings LLC, and GM Components Holdings are collectively referred to as “GM.” “GMIMCo” and “GMAM” are used interchangeably. The monthly retirement benefits determined under the tax-qualified General Motors Retirement Program for Salaried Employees (hereinafter referred to as the “Retirement Program”), or account balances determined under the tax-qualified Retirement Savings Plan (hereinafter referred to as the “RSP” and formerly known as the Savings-Stock Purchase Program S-SPP), plus any benefits payable under certain other GM-provided benefit programs, may be supplemented by benefits provided under the formulas of the Plan. It is intended that the Plan, in relevant part, qualify as an “excess benefit plan” under Section 3(36) of ERISA and, in relevant part, as a plan “providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” under Section 201(2) of ERISA.

Article I, Section II. Administration of the Plan

(a) The Plan shall at all times be maintained, considered, and administered as a non-qualified plan that is wholly separate and distinct from the Retirement Program and the RSP.

(b) Benefits under the Plan are not guaranteed.

(c) The Company is the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator has discretionary authority to construe, interpret, apply, and administer the Plan and serves as the first step of the Plan appeal process. Any and all decisions of the Plan Administrator as to interpretation or application of the Plan shall be given full force and effect unless it is proven that the interpretation or determination was arbitrary and capricious.

(d) The Plan Administrator shall have the full power to engage and employ such legal, actuarial, auditing, tax, and other such agents, as it shall, in its sole discretion, deem to be in the best interest of the Company, the Plan, and its Participants and beneficiaries.

(e) The expenses of administering the Plan are borne by the Company and are not charged against its Participants and beneficiaries.

(f) Various aspects of Plan administration have been delegated to the Plan recordkeeper selected by the Plan Administrator. In carrying out its delegated responsibilities, the Plan recordkeeper shall have discretionary authority to construe, interpret, apply, and administer the Plan provisions. The discretionary authority delegated to the Plan recordkeeper shall, however, be limited to the Plan terms relevant to its delegated responsibilities and shall not permit the Plan recordkeeper to render a determination or to make any representation concerning benefits which are not provided by the express terms of the Plan. The Plan recordkeeper’s actions shall be given full force and effect unless determined by the Plan Administrator to be contrary to the Plan provisions or arbitrary and capricious.

(g) For purposes of the Plan, a Plan Year shall mean the 12-month period beginning January 1 and ending December 31.

Article I, Section III. Effective Date

The Corporation established the Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (“SERP”) under Article II of the Plan effective December 1, 1985. The Plan had been amended from time to time prior to the Company becoming the sponsor of it. Effective January 1, 2007, the name of the Plan was changed from the SERP to the “Executive Retirement Plan (ERP)”. The terms and conditions of the ERP are set forth in Article II. ERP benefits for service through December 31, 2006 were frozen as described in Article II, Section II and Section III and new benefit formulas for service on and after January 1, 2007 were adopted, as described in Article II, Section IV and Section V.

Benefits payable under Article II, Sections II, III, and IV (Regular Formula SERP, Alternative Formula SERP, and 1.25% Career Average Pay Benefits, respectively) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “DB ERP” portion of the Plan. With respect to DB ERP, benefits are not based on notional contributions to, or related gains or losses in, any notional individual investment account or fund identified in Article III, Section II.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Benefit Equalization Plan (BEP) was merged into the Plan, the terms and conditions of which are set forth in Article III. Benefits payable under the individual account portion of the Plan under Article II, Section V, Article III, and Article IV (4% Defined Contribution Benefits, Excess Benefits, and Discretionary Awards, respectively) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “DC ERP” portion of the Plan.

The Company became the sponsor of the Plan, subject to the conditions and releases identified in the Purchase Agreement and Sale Order.

If the executive is married at date of retirement spousal consent will be required to name a beneficiary other than the spouse. If the primary beneficiary has predeceased the executive, any contingent beneficiaries designated for the executive’s Basic Group Life Insurance (as referred to herein, “Basic Group Life Insurance” includes any successor life insurance plan, including Group Variable Universal Life) will receive the lump sum payment.

(a) Eligibility to participate in this Article III shall be limited solely to those active executive level or separated executive level employees, or the designated beneficiaries of such active executive level or separated executive level employees, whose aggregate contributions and benefits under the RSP are in excess of the maximum limitations on compensation, contributions and benefits imposed by Sections 401(a)(17) and/or 415 of the Code.

(b) For purposes of this Article III, the terms “designated beneficiary” or “designated beneficiaries” shall include surviving spouses and contingent beneficiaries.

(c) Eligible executives are immediately vested in any benefits accrued under Article III, Section II (a) prior to January 1, 2007.

(d) Eligible executives become vested in any benefits accrued on and after January 1, 2007 under Article III Section II (a) upon their attainment of age 55 with a minimum of 10 years’ credited service. For this purpose, credited service is as defined in the RSP.

Article III, Section II. Amount of Benefits

(a) An executive level employee who is eligible to participate in this Article III, or the designated beneficiary of such a deceased executive level employee who was eligible to participate in this Article III, shall be eligible to receive the value of the assets that would have been purchased with, if any, GM RSP matching contribution amounts, plus related earnings on such assets, set forth in Article III, Section II (b) below, but for the maximum benefit limitations imposed under Section 415(c) of the Code and maximum compensation limits imposed under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. The portion of the Plan that provides benefits in the event the maximum compensation limits under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code apply is an unfunded plan for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The value of assets described in this Article III, Section II (a) shall be separately accounted for each employee or designated beneficiary.

Article III, Section II. (b)

(b) The individual notional amounts for each eligible Participant shall be allocated each pay period to an unfunded defined contribution account that will be credited with earnings based on investment options as selected by the Participant. Effective July 15, 2011, the investment options shall be the same as provided under the RSP.

Also effective July 15, 2011, until such time a Participant makes an affirmative investment option election, the Participant’s account will be credited with notional earnings based on the Pyramis Active Lifecycle commingled pools (previously, the Pyramis Strategic Balanced Commingled Pool). Specifically, Participants who do not have an investment election on file will have future notional contributions defaulted to one of twelve (12) Pyramis Active Lifecycle pools with a target retirement date (specified in the pool’s name) closest to the year that a Participant will attain the age of 65. In the event any of the funds are discontinued, absent an election by the Participant (if any), the notional amounts in such funds and future contributions that were designated for such funds will be transferred to the fund that such option is mapped to by the RSP as determined by the Administrator.

Article III, Section III. Payment of Benefits

(a) For account balance notional amounts accrued and vested on or before December 31, 2004, the amount determined pursuant to Article III, Section II (a) for separations prior to January 1, 2007, shall be payable to the Participant in a lump-sum amount on the earlier of the Participant’s request or as soon as practicable following such Participant’s total distribution of their RSP account. Such distributions will be based on the market value on the Business Day on which the request is received or the day in which the Participant’s RSP account is totally distributed, as confirmed by the GM Benefits & Services Center provided that the request is received or the RSP account is totally distributed before the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. (EST). A withdrawal request received and confirmed by the GM Benefits & Services Center after the close of business of the NYSE, or on a weekend or holiday observed by the NYSE, will be based on the market value on the next Business Day.

(b) For separations on and after January 1, 2007, payment of vested plan benefits, in the amount determined pursuant to Article III, Section II (a) will be converted to a five year monthly annuity form of payment.

(1) Conversion of the account value at date of separation to a five year annuity will use the same discount rate applicable under Article II, Section VI (c) (5) at date of separation from service.

(2) If the separated executive is eligible for payment of ERP benefits under Article II, payable as a five year annuity, payment of benefits as a five year annuity under this Article III will be combined with and paid coincident with ERP payments under Article II.

(b) Amounts of awards granted under this Article IV shall be separately accounted for in an unfunded individual defined contribution account for the benefit of each Participant.

(c) Upon separation from service, if the Participant is otherwise eligible for ERP (other than the ten year service requirement), the account balance amount of the vested award will be converted to a five-year monthly annuity form of payment.

(1) Conversion of the account balance amount of the vested award at date of separation to a five year annuity will use the same discount rate applicable under Article II, Section VI (c) (5) at date of separation from service.

(2) If the separated Participant is eligible for payment of any ERP benefits under Article II or Article III, payable as a five year annuity, payment of any vested Discretionary Award as a five-year annuity will be combined with and paid coincident with ERP payments under Article II or Article III.

(3) Prior to an eligible Participant’s separation from service, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, the payment of any award under Article IV may be reduced in an amount up to $5,000 per year as repayment of amounts that a Participant owes GM or any subsidiary, for any reason, including benefit overpayments, wage overpayments, and amounts due under all incentive compensation plans.

(6) Should a Participant who is vested pursuant to Article IV (c) die during active service with GM, any five year annuity benefits payable under this Article IV will be converted to a one-time lump sum and paid to the Participant’s surviving spouse or other designated beneficiary. If an entity (such as a trust or charitable organization) is named as beneficiary, or the Participant should have no living beneficiary, the five year annuity payments will be converted to a lump sum for final payment to such entity or to the Participant’s estate.

The Plan can only be amended, in writing, by the Board of Directors, the Executive Compensation Committee, or an appropriate individual or committee as designated by the Board of Directors or Executive Compensation Committee. The Company shall not terminate the Plan if such termination would result in tax and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, unless the Company acknowledges in writing that one of the results of a termination will be tax and penalties under the Code. Absent an express delegation of authority from the Board of Directors or the Executive Compensation Committee, no one has the authority to commit the Company to any benefit or benefits provision not provided for under the Plan or to change the eligibility criteria or other provisions of the Plan.

(b) The Company may, from time-to-time and in its sole discretion, adopt limited early retirement provisions to provide retirements (i) during a specified period of time, (ii) at a specified level of benefits, and (iii) for identified executive employees. Any such early retirement provisions relating to the Plan that may be adopted by the Company are made a part of the Plan as though set out fully herein.

Article V, Section II. Special Rules

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, no elections, modifications or distributions will be allowed or implemented if they would cause an otherwise eligible Participant to be subject to tax (including interest and penalties) under Section 409A of the Code, unless the Committee specifies in writing that such elections, modifications or distributions shall be made notwithstanding the impact of such tax (e.g. court order, adverse business conditions).

(b) Specified employees, as defined by IRC 409A, will have a six month waiting period (or, if earlier, the date of death) before commencement of payment of any Plan benefits payable on account of a separation from service. During the six month waiting period, all amounts payable under the Plan will accumulate without interest and be paid effective with the seventh monthly payment.

(c) If at the time of separation from service the present value of all benefits under the Plan is less than the dollar limit under Section 402(g) of the Code as adjusted by the Secretary of the Treasury ($16,500 for 2010) such amount shall be paid in a lump sum within 90 days of such separation.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan to the contrary, under the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) benefits may be paid prior to the applicable payment date in the following events:

(1) Pursuant to the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code;

(2) To comply with an ethics agreement with the federal government, or to avoid a violation any domestic or foreign ethics law or conflicts law;

(3) To satisfy any Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax obligations;

(4) To pay the Participant an amount required to be included in income due to a failure of the Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code;

(1) For Participants receiving lifetime monthly annuity benefits, including those retired prior to January 1, 2007 and grandfathered executives referred to in Article II Section VI (c) (9), the 10% reduction shall be applied to the amount of monthly benefits in pay status as of April 2009.

(2) For Participants receiving five year monthly annuity benefits under this subsection (e), 10% of the life annuity value prior to its conversion to a five year annuity will be subtracted from the five year annuity that would otherwise be payable.

(f) Effective June 1, 2009 the amount of monthly benefits payable is limited to $8,000, on a temporary basis.

(1) For Participants receiving lifetime monthly annuity benefits, the $8,000 monthly limit is applied to the amount of monthly benefits payable after imposition of the 10% reduction referred to in subsection (f).

(2) For Participants receiving five year monthly annuity benefits, first reduce the life annuity prior to conversion to a five year annuity by 10% as referred to in Article V, Section II, (e) (2).

Article V, Section II. (g)

(g) In the event of a sale of assets under Section 363 the Bankruptcy Code and the assumption of the Plan by General Motors LLC, the temporary 10% reduction under subsection (e) shall become permanent. In addition, for executive retirees who have a combined tax-qualified SRP plus non-qualified benefit under the Plan in excess of $100,000 per annum on a life annuity basis, the amount of benefits under the Plan over the combined $100,000 per annum threshold shall be reduced by 2/3rds.

(1) For the purpose of determining the $100,000 threshold for Participants receiving monthly life annuity benefits, such determination shall be made after the reduction of the monthly benefit for the cost of any survivor option.

(2) For the purpose of determining the $100,000 threshold convert any five year annuity form of payment to a life annuity. After application of any reduction described in Article V Section II (g) above, convert the remaining life annuity back to a five year annuity for continued payment using the same five year annuity conversion factors as applied at original benefit commencement date.

(h) In the event of a sale of assets under Section 363 the Bankruptcy Code and the assumption of the Plan by General Motors LLC as of the date of such sale, the monthly benefits accrued by active executive employees under Article II, Sections II, III and IV shall be frozen and reduced by 10%. Future benefit accruals for executive employees following the date of sale shall be determined under Article II, Sections IV and V.

Notwithstanding the above, other than suspension or forfeiture as set forth in Article I, Section IV (b) with respect to any benefits that are vested or in payment pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the prior Benefit Equalization Plan or the prior Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP), no amendment, modification, suspension, or termination may reduce the vested rights or benefits of Participants under the Plan, including benefits being provided to current executive retirees or their surviving spouse, without the Participant’s, retiree’s, or surviving spouse’s written permission, unless such amendment, modification, suspension or termination is required by law.

Guarantees

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of certain operating leases. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2016 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 2029 or are ongoing. We determined the fair value ascribed to the guarantees at inception and subsequent to inception 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 September 30, 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 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. Immaterial amounts have been recorded for such obligations as the majority of 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 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 September 30, 2011 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $150 million to $360 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 in Accrued liabilities 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.

In accordance with our assumption from MLC 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. Based on both management judgments concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims against us, we have applied appropriate actuarial methodologies and 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 $530 million to $700 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2011 was 135 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $114 million) in connection with these cases. The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs' claim, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 533 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $452 million). GM Korea believes the claims 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 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 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). On June 22, 2011 the court granted GMCL permission to appeal the class certification decision. 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.

On April 6, 2010 the UAW filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (New VEBA). The UAW alleges that we were required to make this contribution pursuant to the UAW-Delphi-GM Memorandum of Understanding Delphi Restructuring dated June 22, 2007 (Restructuring Agreement). The possible loss is $450 million, which is the amount claimed, but we believe that the claim is without merit and we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We filed a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York asserting that the UAW's claim is barred by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement and by other orders issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court that preclude additional GM contributions to the New VEBA. We also maintain that Delphi Corporation's bankruptcy plan of reorganization did not fulfill the applicable conditions of the Restructuring Agreement and therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion abstaining from hearing the case, which will accordingly be litigated in Federal Court in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

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 September 30, 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 $217 million and $193 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Through September 30, 2011 spending was sufficient to meet the current requirements under the agreement and the specified milestones have been accomplished. Management has the intent and believes it has the ability to meet the future requirements under the agreement.

Restructuring And Other Initiatives

Note 20. Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

The following table summarizes the reserves related to restructuring and other initiatives (excluding restructuring reserves related to dealer wind-down agreements) and charges by segment, including postemployment benefit reserves and charges (dollars in millions):

(a) The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits to be paid.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the reserves by $95 million and $141 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were primarily related to: (1) changes to UAW hourly layoff benefits primarily related to the Labor Agreement; (2) Canadian restructuring activities and (3) a special attrition program for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

The Labor Agreement includes cash severance incentive programs which may range up to $90 million through March 31, 2012 for skilled trade employees that will be included in our restructuring liability upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties.

GME recorded charges and interest accretion and other of $106 million and $241 million for separation programs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily related to previously announced programs in Germany.

Restructuring and early retirement programs in Spain, the U.K. and Belgium were essentially completed in 2010 and we also initiated a program in Germany in 2010. Through September 30, 2011 these programs had a total cost of $900 million and affected a total of 5,800 employees and included the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility. We expect to incur an additional $300 million, primarily in 2011 and 2012, to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 1,600 employees. As these programs primarily involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are recorded until offers to employees are accepted. To the extent employees will be involuntarily terminated, a liability is recorded at the communication date.

The following table summarizes the reserves related to restructuring and other initiatives (excluding restructuring reserves related to dealer wind-down agreements) and charges by segment, including postemployment benefit reserves and charges (dollars in millions):

(a) The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits to be paid.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that decreased the restructuring reserves by $51 million and $108 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decreases were primarily related to increased production capacity utilization, which resulted in the recall of idled employees to fill added shifts at multiple production sites, partially offset by Canadian restructuring activities.

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the restructuring reserve by $151 million and $683 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 for separation programs primarily related to the following initiatives:

• Separation charges of $92 million and $445 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 for a separation plan related to the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility which affected 2,600 employees.

• Separation charges of $72 million and revisions to estimates of $11 million to decrease the reserve in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to separation/layoff plans and an early retirement plan in Spain which affected 1,200 employees.

• Separation charges of $3 million and $28 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to a voluntary separation program in the United Kingdom.

• Separation charges of $5 million and $32 million and interest accretion and other of $26 million and $81 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to previously announced programs in Germany and separation charges of $20 million related to a voluntary separation program announced in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

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 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the accounting period in which there is a change in the valuation inputs.

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 service, 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. Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable inputs, observable components that are validated to external sources.

We measure fair value of our marketable securities using a market approach where identical or comparable prices are available, and an income approach in other cases. We obtain the majority of the prices used in this valuation from a pricing service. We conduct an annual review of our pricing service. This review includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing service to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include prices for comparable securities, bid/ask quotes, interest rate yields, and prepayment speeds. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service 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 for commodities and foreign currency exchange rates. Level 2 includes certain foreign currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, interest rate caps, and warrants. Derivative contracts and other liabilities that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market inputs are classified in Level 3. Level 3 derivative contracts include certain foreign currency derivatives, embedded derivatives and interest rate swaps.

(a) Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are recorded in Interest income and other non-operating income, net and foreign currency translation gains (losses) are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt

We determined the fair value of debt based on a discounted cash flow model which used benchmark yield curves plus a spread that represented the yields on traded bonds of companies with comparable credit ratings.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and estimated fair values of short-term and long-term debt (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Carrying amount (a)	$	4,210	$	4,630
Fair value (a)	$	4,272	$	4,840

(a) Accounts and notes receivable, net and Accounts payable (principally trade) are not included because the carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

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 financial statements, as well as the financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, resulting in a Level 3 measure.

In March 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.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and estimated fair value of Ally Financial common and preferred stock (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Common stock
Carrying amount (a)	$	958	$	964
Fair value	$	695	$	1,031
Preferred stock
Carrying amount			$	665
Fair value			$	1,055

(a) Investment in Ally Financial common stock at December 31, 2010 includes a 4.0% direct ownership and a 5.9% ownership held indirectly through an independent trust. In May 2011 we transferred all directly held shares to the independent trust.

As indicated in the table above, at September 30, 2011 the carrying amount of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. The financial markets, in particular the share prices for comparable companies in the banking and financial services industry, are currently experiencing significant volatility stemming, in part, from many broader macroeconomic uncertainties, including the eurozone debt crisis, an increasing risk of another recession and concerns about mortgage-related liabilities. It is reasonably possible that in a market-based transaction the actual fair value of Ally Financial common stock would be a value other than the estimated fair value. In addition, we assessed whether the decline in value represented an other-than-temporary impairment and concluded that the impairment is temporary. We believe that the recent economic uncertainty is weighing heavily on the valuation of financial institutions, including Ally Financial, and has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. We believe that this is a temporary condition. Should market conditions not recover in the near term, or the decline in fair value remain for an extended duration, we may conclude the impairment is other than temporary, resulting in an impairment charge. We currently have the ability and intent to hold the investment until its fair value recovers. We can cause the trustee to return all Ally Financial common stock currently held in the trust to us to hold directly.

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 $130 million and $70 million, current derivative liabilities of $63 million and $111 million and long-term debt of $8 million and $835 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to Korea Development Bank (a minority shareholder in GM Korea), as trustee for the holders of GM Korea's preferred shares, to redeem GM Korea's preferred shares should GM Korea not redeem the shares. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and, in the case of loan origination, through 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.

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. 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):

(a) Amounts at December 31, 2010 included undrawn loan commitments related to American Axle. In June 2011 the term loan facility was terminated.

(b) Amounts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 represented additional contingent future capital funding requirement related to HKJV.

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. Prior to June 2011 our primary variable interest, among others, in American Axle was a second lien term loan facility in which American Axle could borrow up to $100 million. In June 2011 the term loan facility was terminated thereby eliminating our explicit variable interest in American Axle.

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 was 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. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on our investment in HKJV.

Basis Of Presentation And Recent Accounting Standards

Basis Of Presentation And Recent Accounting Standards

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 notes 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 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 nonconsolidated 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 nonconsolidated 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.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 to conform to our current presentation. The effects of these reclassifications increased Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $119 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, and decreased Automotive cost of sales and other non-operating income, net by $68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 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 in 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 has affected results of operations in 2011 because our Venezuelan subsidiaries 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 which include amounts receivable from and payable to, and transactions with, affiliated entities (dollars in millions):

(b) Includes BsF denominated and non-BsF denominated monetary liabilities of $533 million and $335 million at September 30, 2011 and $661 million and $324 million at December 31, 2010.

(c) Includes a gain of $119 million related to the devaluation of the BsF in January 2010 and gains of $82 million and $207 million due to favorable foreign currency exchanges that were processed by CADIVI in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The $119 million gain on the devaluation was offset by a $144 million loss recorded in the U.S. on BsF denominated assets, which is not included in the Net income attributable to stockholders reported above. Included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are gains of $0 million and $5 million related to favorable foreign currency exchanges that were processed by CADIVI.

Labor Force

On September 28, 2011 the 2011 GM-UAW Labor Agreement (Labor Agreement), which is a collectively bargained labor agreement between us and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW), was ratified. The Labor Agreement is effective for a four year term expiring in September 2015. The Labor Agreement includes lump sum payments in lieu of wage increases of $5,000 per employee in October 2011 and $1,000 per employee in June of 2012, 2013, and 2014. These lump sum payments will be amortized over the four year Labor Agreement period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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. 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. 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.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs" (ASU 2011-04). Key provisions of the amendments in ASU 2011-04 include: (1) a prohibition on grouping financial instruments for purposes of determining fair value, except in limited cases; (2) an extension of the prohibition against the use of a blockage factor to all fair value measurements; and (3) a requirement that for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, entities disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation process used and qualitative details about the sensitivity of the measurements. For items not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed, entities will be required to disclose the level within the fair value hierarchy that applies to the fair value measurement disclosed. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a significant effect on our fair value measurements utilized and the related disclosures within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment" (ASU 2011-08). Under the revised guidance, entities testing for goodwill impairment have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value for the reporting unit, i.e., Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. If an entity determines, on a basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the first step of the two-step impairment test would be required. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired. ASU 2011-08 does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill at least annually for impairment. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2011-08 effective October 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the conclusion reached during our annual or interim goodwill impairment assessments.

Note 8. Equity in Net Assets of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Automotive

Nonconsolidated affiliates are entities in which an equity ownership interest is maintained and for which the equity method of accounting is used, due to the ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs.

The following table summarizes the components of Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments (dollars in millions):

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. In March 2011 we recorded a gain of $1.6 billion related to the sale in Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments. 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 in February 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.

VMM Deconsolidation

In June 2011 we entered into a new shareholder agreement with Fiat Powertrain Technologies SPA related to VM Motori (VMM) in Italy. Prior to the new shareholder agreement, we controlled VMM and consolidated VMM's assets, liabilities and results of operations. Under the new shareholder agreement, we retain 50% ownership but no longer have control. Accordingly, we removed the assets and liabilities of VMM, which included allocated goodwill of $36 million from our GME reporting unit, from our consolidated financial statements and recorded an equity interest in the amount of $46 million.

Investment in China JVs

The following table summarizes our direct ownership interests in our Chinese joint ventures, collectively referred to as China JVs:

	Ownership Interest
	September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010
Shanghai General Motors Co. Ltd. (SGM) (a)		49%		49%
Shanghai GM (Shenyang) Norsom Motor Co., Ltd. (SGM Norsom)		25%		25%
Shanghai GM Dong Yue Motors Co., Ltd. (SGM DY)		25%		25%
Shanghai GM Dong Yue Powertrain (SGM DYPT)		25%		25%
SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (SGMW)		44%		34%
FAW-GM Light Duty Commercial Vehicle, Ltd. (FAW-GM)		50%		50%
Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center Co., Ltd. (PATAC)		50%		50%
Shanghai OnStar Telematics Co., Ltd. (Shanghai OnStar)		40%		40%
Shanghai Chengxin Used Car Operation and Management Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Chengxin Used Car)		33%		33%

(a) Ownership interest in SGM was 49% in the period February 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 and 50% in the month of January 2010.

Sales and income of our China JVs are not consolidated in 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 in 1997 by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) (51%) and us (49%). 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%). These four joint ventures are engaged in the production, import, and sale of a comprehensive range of products under the brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac. SGM also has interests in Shanghai OnStar (20%) and Shanghai Chengxin Used Car (33%).

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.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

Senior Notes

In June 2011 GM Financial issued 6.75% senior notes of $500 million which are due in June 2018 with interest payable semiannually. On July 1, 2011 proceeds of $71 million from this offering were used to redeem all of GM Financial's outstanding 8.50% senior notes due in 2015. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the 6.75% senior notes, GM Financial entered into a registration rights agreement that requires GM Financial to file a registration statement relating to the registration with the SEC of an exchange offer with respect to the 6.75% senior notes and the subsidiary guaranty. GM Financial filed the registration statement on September 12, 2011. If the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC within 210 days from the original issuance of the notes or ceases to remain effective, GM Financial will be required to pay the 6.75% senior note holders a maximum of $0.50 per week of additional interest per $1,000 of principal during the time the registration statement is not effective.

(a) Refer to Note 8 for additional information concerning the deconsolidation of VMM.

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME had 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. GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2011, an impairment charge of $395 million was recorded in Goodwill impairment charges in 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."

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, 2011 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 vehicles and a market share for GME of 6.6% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.4% 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.

Our Step 2 analyses indicated GME's implied goodwill was less than 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 could decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating and would decrease upon 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 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. Though our credit rating improved during the three months ended September 30, 2011, the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above did not decrease because credit spreads between high quality corporate bonds and market interest rates widened. As such, it was not more likely than not that further goodwill impairment existed at September 30, 2011. Therefore, no impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 our market capitalization (including the fair value of our preferred stock and warrants) declined and at times it approximated our recorded Total equity. Despite the decline, we do not believe it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units have decreased below their book values. Should the recent economic uncertainty continue, our equity price decline on a sustained basis, global economies enter into another recession and industry growth stagnates, or should we release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain international tax jurisdictions which could occur in the near future if additional positive evidence becomes available, the fair value of one or more of our reporting units may decrease below its book value, and future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized.

Acquisition And Disposals Of Businesses

Note 3. Acquisition and Disposals of Businesses

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

In March 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 ended March 31, 2010 we recorded a gain of $123 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.

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. The following table summarizes the actual amounts of revenue and earnings of GM Financial included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2010 (dollars in millions):

Segment Reporting

Note 25. Segment Reporting

Consolidated

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and parts worldwide. We also conduct finance operations through GM Financial. We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully loaded cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes and evaluates GM Financial through Income (loss) before income taxes.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.

In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of our customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:

•     Buick •     Cadillac •     Chevrolet •     GMC

The demands of our customers outside of North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following brands:

•     Buick	•     Chevrolet	•     GMC	•     Opel
•     Cadillac	•     Daewoo	•     Holden	•     Vauxhall

At September 30, 2011 we also had equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, including GM Korea, SGM, SGMW, FAW-GM and HKJV. These companies design, manufacture and market vehicles under the following brands:

•     Alpheon	•     Buick	•     Chevrolet	•     Jiefang
•     Baojun	•     Cadillac	•     Daewoo	•     Wuling

Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Note 22. Earnings Per Share

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 we were required to use the two-class method for calculating earnings per share, as further discussed below, as the applicable market value of our common stock was below $33.00 per common share in the period ended September 30, 2011.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. In periods prior to our public offering, we utilized an average stock price based upon estimates of the fair value of our common stock. Subsequent to our public offering, we used the New York Stock Exchange price.

The following tables summarize basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

(a) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and $644 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Earnings of $166 million and $708 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the basic earnings per share calculation. Earnings of $156 million and $651 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders for the diluted earnings per share calculation.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Our Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security and requires the application of the two-class method for calculating earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock is below $33.00 or above $39.60 per common share. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the applicable market value is calculated as the average of the closing prices of our common stock over the 40 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the date of our financial statements. The calculation of the applicable market value at the date of our financial statements will apply to the current quarter and the year to date period presented, irrespective of the applicable market value computed during the prior quarters of the current year.

Under the two-class method for computing earnings per share, undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. This allocation to the Series B Preferred Stock holders reduced Net income attributable to common stockholders, resulting in a lower basic and dilutive earnings per share amount. Accordingly, variability may result in our calculation of earnings per share from period to period depending on whether the application of the two-class method is required.

Because the applicable market value of our common stock was below $33.00 per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we applied the two-class method to calculate basic earnings per share and the more dilutive of the two-class or the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share. The application of the two-class method resulted in an allocation of undistributed earnings to our Series B Preferred Stock holders and, accordingly, 152 million common stock equivalents from the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock are not considered outstanding for purposes of determining the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

In April 2011 MLC began distribution of 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants at any time prior to their respective expiration dates. Upon exercise of the warrants the shares issued will be included in the number of basic shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share.

Warrants to purchase 313 million shares of our common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2011, of which 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of the remaining warrants resulted in 119 million and 142 million dilutive shares in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to certain global executives. At September 30, 2011 there were 14 million unvested RSUs outstanding.

The Adjustment Shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the condition that would result in the issuance of the Adjustment Shares was not satisfied.

In July 2011 the 61 million shares of common stock contributed to our pension plans, in January 2011, met the criteria to qualify as plan assets for accounting purposes. Accordingly, these shares were considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes beginning in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, of which 46 million were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the fair value of our common stock. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining 272 million shares resulted in 130 million and 88 million dilutive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Diluted earnings per share excluded the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives as these awards were payable in cash if settled prior to six months after a completion of a successful public offering. At September 30, 2010 a total of 18 million RSUs were outstanding, of which neither the vested nor unvested portion was included for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share due to the cash settlement condition at that time.

The Adjustment Shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the condition that would result in the issuance of the Adjustment Shares was not satisfied.

Finance contracts are purchased by GM Financial from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent finance receivables of $448 million and $491 million.

GM Financial reviews its pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from its initial investment in the pre-acquisition portfolio to determine if the difference is attributable, at least, in part to credit quality. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 improvement in the performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio indicated that the non-accretable discount exceeded expected future credit losses by $197 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 GM Financial transferred this excess non-accretable discount as an offset to the accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

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 qualified as a plan asset for funding purposes at the time of contribution and as a plan asset valued at $1.9 billion for accounting purposes in July 2011. We are evaluating whether we will make additional voluntary contributions to our U.S. pension plans.

The following tables summarize the components of pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) expense (income) (dollars in millions):

Significant Plan Amendments, Benefit Modifications and Related Events

The Labor Agreement includes a provision that the Personal Retirement Plan, which is a cash balance pension plan for entry level employees, will be frozen on January 2, 2012 and terminated on June 30, 2012, subject to required regulatory approvals. Participants in the Personal Retirement Plan and all employees hired on or after October 1, 2007 will participate in a defined contribution plan.

Remeasurements

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 the Legal Services Plan, which provides legal services to U.S. hourly employees and retirees, was remeasured as a result of the Labor Agreement provisions which terminate the plan effective December 31, 2013. The negotiated termination has been accounted for as a negative plan amendment resulting in a decrease in the OPEB liability and a pre-tax increase of $266 million in the prior service credit component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, which will be amortized through December 31, 2013.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our goodwill impairment analysis, resulting in a decrease of $272 million in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. Refer to Notes 2 and 9 for additional information on our impairment of Goodwill.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010 the U.S. hourly defined benefit pension plan was amended to create a legally separate new defined benefit pension plan for entry level participants who are covered by the cash balance benefit formula, referred to as the Personal Retirement Plan. The underlying benefits offered to plan participants were unchanged. The remeasurement used a discount rate of 4.6% and increased the projected benefit obligations (PBO) by $5.8 billion. A discount rate of 5.5% was used at December 31, 2009. Additionally, higher than expected asset returns partially offset the discount rate effects and the remeasurement resulted in an increase of $2.4 billion in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax decrease in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income. The remeasurement of the plan did not affect net periodic pension expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the three months ended June 30, 2010 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our goodwill impairment analysis, resulting in an increase of $388 million in the Pensions liability and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Canadian Health Care Trust

As previously reported, in December 2009 and May 2010 in furtherance of implementing its restructuring plan and pursuant to a June 2009 agreement between General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) and the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) to establish an independent Canadian Health Care Trust (HCT) to provide retiree healthcare benefits to certain active and retired employees, litigation commenced regarding GMCL's right to unilaterally amend and terminate postretirement healthcare benefits. The parties reached a settlement to consensually resolve the litigation, which was approved on September 13, 2011 by the Ontario Superior Court and was approved on September 19, 2011 by the Quebec Superior Court. At September 30, 2011 the settlement was not implemented because certain conditions precedent to the settlement had not been met, including the expiration of the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process. GMCL is obligated to make a payment to the HCT of CAD $1.0 billion within 10 days of the HCT implementation date, October 31, 2011, which it will fund out of its CAD $1.0 billion escrow funds, adjusted for the net difference between the amount of retiree monthly contributions received during the period January 1, 2010 through the HCT implementation date less the cost of benefits paid for claims incurred by covered employees during this period and certain related costs. GMCL also provided to the HCT a CAD $800 million note payable with interest accruing at an annual rate of 7.0% starting January 1, 2010 with five equal annual installments of CAD $256 million due December 31, 2014 through 2018. In addition, GMCL will make two additional payments of CAD $130 million each on December 31, 2014 and 2015. Concurrent with the implementation of the HCT, GMCL is legally released from all obligations associated with the cost of providing retiree healthcare benefits to CAW retirees and surviving spouses bound by the class action process and to CAW active employees as of June 8, 2009. As a result of conditions precedent to the settlement not having yet been achieved as of September 30, 2011, there was no accounting recognition for the HCT at September 30, 2011.

In October 2011 the time period allowed for individual CAW retirees and surviving spouses to decide to opt out of participation in the class action process elapsed. The conditions precedent to the settlement have been achieved and the HCT implementation date occurred on October 31, 2011, with the transfer of escrow funds to occur in November. We will account, in the three months ending December 31, 2011 for the related termination of CAW hourly retiree healthcare benefits as a settlement, and record a gain of approximately $800 million, based upon the difference between the fair value of the notes of approximately $1.1 billion and cash contributed and the healthcare plan obligation (as at the implementation date) relating to individuals who in the future will have their health care benefits provided by the HCT.

Stock Incentive Plans

Note 23. Stock Incentive Plans

Consolidated

Our stock incentive plans consist of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended on December 22, 2010 (2009 GMLTIP) and the Salary Stock Plan as amended on October 5, 2010 (GMSSP). Both plans are administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the 2009 GMLTIP and the GMSSP shall not exceed 75 million shares.

The following table summarizes compensation expense recorded for our stock incentive plans (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months  Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Compensation expense	$	50	$	84	$	163	$	136

Income tax expense amounts were insignificant in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and did not include U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions with full valuation allowances.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 we granted RSUs to certain global executives under the 2009 GMLTIP. The RSUs were valued on the date of grant at the fair value of our common stock. Awards granted under the 2009 GMLTIP either cliff vest or ratably vest generally over a three-year service period, as defined in the terms of each award. We have elected to record compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of RSUs.

Awards granted in 2011 to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle three years from the grant date in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our Troubled Asset Relief Program obligations that are repaid. The awards for the Next 75 highest compensated employees will settle either: (1) three years from the date of grant; or (2) on the first and third anniversary dates of grant. The awards to the non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will settle on the first, second, and third anniversary dates of grant. Vesting and subsequent settlement will generally occur based upon employment at the end of each specified service period.

Salary Stock

In November 2009 we initiated a salary stock program for certain global executives under the GMSSP whereby a portion of each participant's total annual compensation was accrued and converted to RSUs at each salary payment date. Beginning in 2010 a portion of each participant's salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity under the 2009 GMLTIP and GMSSP in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (RSUs in millions):

	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term
RSUs outstanding at January 1, 2011		17.2		$	19.03
Granted		6.5		$	33.05
Settled		(0.7	)	$	18.32
Forfeited or expired		(0.9	)	$	21.42
RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2011		22.1		$	23.10		1.4
RSUs unvested and expected to vest at September 30, 2011		14.5		$	23.53		1.7
RSUs vested and payable at September 30, 2011		7.0		$	22.04

At September 30, 2011 the total unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested equity awards granted under the 2009 GMLTIP was $312 million. This expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 total payments for 28,000 and 428,000 RSUs settled under the GMSSP was $1 million and $14 million. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 total payments for 97,000 and 195,000 RSUs settled under the GMSSP was $2 million and $4 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments And Risk Management

Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

At September 30, 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.

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.

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):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Collateral held from counterparties (a)	$	12	$	74
Gross derivative asset position exposed to loss (b)(c)	$	45	$	143
Net derivative asset position exposed to loss (b)(d)	$	14	$	108

(a) Related obligation is recorded in Accrued liabilities.

(b) Embedded derivatives have been excluded from this table.

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

(d) 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.

At September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

Fair Value of Derivatives

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Asset Derivatives  (a)(b)		Liability Derivatives  (c)(d)		Asset Derivatives  (a)(b)		Liability Derivatives  (c)(d)

Foreign Currency Exchange Notionals

The following table summarizes the notional amounts of our foreign currency exchange derivatives (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Foreign currency exchange	$	5,980	$	5,910
Embedded foreign currency exchange	$	1,455	$	1,421

In 2010 we entered into a long-term supply agreement which provides for pricing to be partially denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the parties to the contract. This pricing feature was determined to be an embedded derivative which we have bifurcated for valuation and accounting purposes. The fair value of this embedded derivative was an asset of $138 million at September 30, 2011 and insignificant at December 31, 2010.

Other Derivatives

In February 2011 we exercised our warrants to purchase American Axle common stock. The shares acquired upon exercise were sold in February 2011 and we received proceeds of $48 million. At December 31, 2010 the fair value of these warrants was $44 million.

In connection with our investment in New Delphi, which we accounted for using the equity method, we recorded our share of New Delphi's other comprehensive income (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive income. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we recorded cash flow hedging gains of $13 million and in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 we recorded cash flow hedging losses of $5 million and $20 million related to our share of New Delphi's hedging losses. In March 2011 we sold our interests in New Delphi. As a result, previously recorded cash flow hedging losses of $10 million in Accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified to earnings and recorded in the gain on sale of New Delphi. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on the sale of our interests in New Delphi.

Automotive Financing — GM Financial

GM Financial is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates due to floating interest rate exposure on its credit facilities and on certain securitization notes payable.

The effect of derivative instruments on earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive income was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes interest rate swaps, caps and foreign currency exchange derivatives (dollars in millions):

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Under the terms of the above derivative financial instruments, GM Financial is required to pledge certain funds to be held in restricted cash accounts as collateral for the outstanding derivative transactions. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 these restricted cash accounts totaled $36 million and $33 million and are included in GM Financial Restricted cash.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

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 interim periods, income tax expense is comprised of two key elements: (1) the amount necessary to appropriately state the year to date estimated tax expense of entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, which is calculated as the difference between the amount currently estimated for the year to date period and the amount previously recorded in prior interim periods; and (2) the tax effect of unusual or infrequent items that occur in the period.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011 the income tax expense of $107 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation partially offset by a tax benefit attributable to previously unrecognized tax benefits in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes reductions in interest expense associated with these previously unrecognized tax benefits. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 income tax expense of $183 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation partially offset by tax benefit attributable to previously unrecognized tax benefits in various jurisdictions. This benefit includes reductions in interest expense and valuation allowances associated with these previously unrecognized tax benefits. The effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010 income tax benefit of $25 million primarily resulted from income tax provisions attributable to profitable entities of $50 million included in our effective tax rate calculation offset by net tax benefit of $75 million attributable to unusual or infrequent items, none of which had a significant effect on tax expense either individually or in aggregate. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 income tax expense of $845 million primarily resulted from income tax provisions for profitable entities and a taxable foreign currency gain in Venezuela. As a result of the official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense related to the foreign currency exchange gain on the net monetary position of our foreign currency denominated assets.

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 2002 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 means that transfer pricing disputes may arise.

In the three months ended June 30, 2011 we settled a Brazilian income tax matter for $241 million that was reserved and disclosed in a prior period.

At September 30, 2011 it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
