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.” Old GM was renamed Motors Liquidation Company (MLC), which was dissolved on December 15, 2011 and transferred its remaining assets and liabilities to the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (GUC Trust).

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services primarily through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial).

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.

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, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC.

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.

Change in Presentation of Financial Statements

In 2012 we changed the presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain footnotes to classify the assets and liabilities of GM Financial as current or non-current and to combine line items which were either of a related nature or not individually material. We have made corresponding reclassifications to the comparable information for all periods presented.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has introduced foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.

The aggregate net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $596 million and $438 million. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 other consolidated entities have receivables from our Venezuelan subsidiaries of $482 million and $380 million. The total amounts pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were BsF 2.7 billion (equivalent to $633 million) and BsF 2.3 billion (equivalent to $535 million), for which some requests have been pending from 2007.

Significant Non-Cash Activity

Investing Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the amounts of non-cash property additions that have been excluded from Expenditures for property within the investing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows because no cash has been expended (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
Non-cash property additions	$	1,927	$	1,257

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In 2012 we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05) that requires presentation of all non-owner changes in equity in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to provide a separate statement of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) or when an OCI item must be reclassified to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect our condensed consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 was modified in December 2011 by the issuance of ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the disclosure of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component of net income and by component of OCI.

Note 3.Acquisition of Businesses

Acquisition of GMAC South America LLC

In March 2012 we acquired from Ally Financial for cash of $29 million100% of the outstanding equity interests of GMAC South America LLC whose only asset is GMAC de Venezuela CA (GMAC Venezuela) comprising the business and operations of Ally Financial in Venezuela. This acquisition provides us with a captive finance offering in Venezuela which we believe is important in maintaining market position and will provide continued sources of financing for our Venezuela dealers and customers.

We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 1, 2012, the date we obtained control, and have included GMAC Venezuela's results of operations and cash flows from that date forward. The following table summarizes the amounts recorded in connection with the acquisition of GMAC Venezuela, which are included in our GMSA segment (dollars in millions):

	March 1, 2012
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash	$	79
Other assets	11
Liabilities	(11		)
Bargain purchase gain	(50		)
Consideration paid	$	29

We determined the excess of net assets acquired over consideration paid was attributable to the measurement differences between the BsF denominated assets and liabilities valued using the official foreign exchange rate, as required by U.S. GAAP, and the enterprise value which has been discounted to reflect the uncertainty surrounding our ability to convert the BsF to U.S. Dollars and the risks of operating in a politically unstable country. The measurement differences do not qualify to be recorded in the

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

application of the acquisition method of accounting, and we recorded the excess of net assets acquired over the consideration paid as a bargain purchase gain. The bargain purchase gain was recorded in Interest and other non-operating income, net. We did not provide pro forma financial information because we do not believe the information is material.

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

In March 2011 we completed the acquisition of an additional 6.9% interest in GM Korea Company (GM Korea) for cash of $100 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retain the controlling financial interest in GM Korea. This transaction 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. We now own 77.0% of the outstanding shares of GM Korea.

Note 4.Marketable Securities

We measure the 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. Our pricing service 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. We conduct an annual review of valuations provided by our pricing service, which 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 spreads. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service are a reliable representation of exit prices.

The following tables summarize information regarding marketable securities (dollars in millions):

GM Financial determined the fair value of finance receivables using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model. The Level 3 inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the finance receivable portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows are calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in our cash flow model.

GM Financial purchases finance contracts 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent finance receivables based on contractual amounts due of $350 million and $439 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. At March 31, 2012 as a result of improvements in credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which resulted in an increase of expected cash flows of $167 million, GM Financial transferred the excess non-accretable discount to accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

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

SGM is a joint venture established 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%).

SGMS is a joint venture established in November 2011 by SAIC (51%) and us (49%) to engage in the sales of the imported brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac and the sales of automobiles manufactured by SGM.

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.

Investment in HKJV

In March 2011 the fair value of our investment in SAIC GM Investment Limited (HKJV) was determined to be less than its carrying amount. HKJV is our joint venture which controls our automotive operations in India. The loss in value was determined 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.

We have provided SAIC Motor Hong Kong Investment Limited (SAIC-HK), a 50% equity holder in HKJV, an option to not participate in future capital injections, which would otherwise be required under certain circumstances. Upon election to exercise the option SAIC-HK would be relieved from providing up to $173 million in future capital injections. The related option liability was $88 million and total unrealized losses were $64 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

A Monte Carlo option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the option liability which is a Level 3 measure. The

15

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

key inputs into the option pricing model were the expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term, fair value of HKJV and expected amounts of the future funding requirement. The fair value estimate of the option is most sensitive to the fair value of HKJV, which is unobservable. A discounted cash flow methodology was utilized to estimate the fair value of HKJV. A decrease in the fair value of HKJV will result in an increase in the fair value of the option liability.

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 "When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts" (ASU 2010-28) on January 1, 2011 and performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis for our GME reporting unit which had a negative carrying amount resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained earnings. GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2012 and 2011 we recorded further Goodwill impairment charges in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we determined that the carrying amount for our GM Korea reporting unit continued to exceed its fair value and that goodwill impairment existed. We recorded a Goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended March 31, 2012 within our GMIO segment.

The following tables summarize the Goodwill impairment charges recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in millions):

_________

(a) Impairment charges of $1.5 billion were recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings upon the adoption of ASU 2010-28.

The Goodwill impairment charges recorded as a result of the initial adoption of ASU 2010-28 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the event-driven goodwill impairment tests in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represent the net decreases in implied goodwill resulting primarily from decreases 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, as discussed in Note 32 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2011 Form 10-K. The net decreases resulted primarily from a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009. At certain of the testing dates the net decrease also resulted from an increase in the high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit obligations and a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk. In addition, for the purpose of deriving an implied goodwill balance, deterioration in the business outlook for GME resulted in a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes and an increase in the fair value of estimated employee benefit obligations.

When performing our goodwill impairment testing, the fair values of our reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. We make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method. Assumptions used in our discounted cash flow analysis that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair values of our reporting units include:

•Our estimated weighted-average cost of capital (WACC);

•Our estimated long-term growth rates; and

•Our estimate of industry sales and our market share.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

The valuation methodologies utilized to perform our goodwill impairment testing were consistent with those used in our application of fresh-start reporting on July 10, 2009 and in subsequent annual or event-driven goodwill impairment tests and utilized Level 3 measures. Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly we calculated the implied goodwill for GME and GM Korea in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, "Business Combinations." The valuations used in our goodwill impairment testing are reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise and, when deemed necessary, third party specialists are utilized to assist in deriving certain unobservable inputs and/or calculating certain fair value estimates.

The following table summarizes the Goodwill balances and key assumptions, which are unobservable, utilized for each of our reporting units that required a Step 2 analysis (dollars and vehicles in millions):

							Industry Sales(a)(b)		Market Share(a)(b)
	Goodwill(c)		WACC		Long-Term Growth Rates		2011/2012	2015/2016	2011/2012		2015/2016

GM Korea - At March 31, 2012	$	564	14.8	%	3.0	%	81.0	97.1	1.4	%	1.1	%

_________

(a) Industry sales and market share for GM Korea are based on global industry volumes because GM Korea exports vehicles globally.

(b) GME amounts at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011 are 2011 through 2015 and GME amounts at March 31, 2012 are 2012 through 2016. GM Korea amounts are 2012 through 2015.

(c) Goodwill balance is before any adjustments for Goodwill impairment charges.

The WACCs considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums and tax rates; the terminal values were determined using a growth model that applied a reporting unit's long-term growth rate to its projected cash flows beyond the forecast period; and industry sales and a market share for each reporting unit included annual estimates through the forecast period. In addition, minimum operating cash needs that incorporate specific business, economic and regulatory factors giving rise to varying cash needs were estimated.

During our Step 2 analyses we determined the fair values of these reporting units had not increased sufficiently to give rise to implied goodwill other than the goodwill arising from 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. On our testing dates our Step 2 analyses indicated GME's and GM Korea's implied goodwill was less than their recorded goodwill; therefore, Goodwill was adjusted at the various dates indicated in the table above.

Future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized 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 tax jurisdictions (which could occur in the near future if additional positive evidence becomes available).

In these circumstances future goodwill impairments would largely be affected by decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that have occurred subsequent to our application of fresh-start reporting. The decrease may occur upon: (1) an improvement in our credit rating; (2) 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; and/or (3) a change in the fair values of our estimated employee benefit obligations. A decrease would also occur upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Any decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that result in goodwill impairment would have a negative effect on our earnings that could be material.

Our fair value estimates for event-driven impairment tests assume the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in our forecasted cash flows and there can be no assurance that we will realize that value. The estimates and assumptions used are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved.

Note 11.Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011: (1) Total assets recognized for these consolidated VIEs were $493 million and $463 million, which were comprised of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivables, net, Inventories and Property, net; and (2) Total liabilities were $309 million and $298 million, which were comprised of Accounts payable (principally trade) and Accrued and other liabilities. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 Total net sales and revenue recorded for these consolidated VIEs were $236 million and $110 million and Net income (loss) was $(5) million and $3 million.

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 $116 million and $171 million, current derivative liabilities of $26 million and $44 million and long-term debt of $6 million and $7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to a minority shareholder in GM Korea to repurchase GM Korea's preferred shares according to the redemption schedule should GM Korea not repurchase the shares. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. GM Financial retains a residual interest in these entities and is not required to provide any additional financial support to its sponsored credit facilities and securitization SPEs. The SPEs are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk and are consolidated because GM Financial has the power over those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the 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.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements and other automotive related entities to which we provided financial support including Ally Financial and HKJV.We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or may require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a supplier's liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns.

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 22 (dollars in millions):

Impairment charges of long-lived assets(a)	$	31	$	26
Depreciation of equipment on operating leases	$	92	$	80
Impairment charges of equipment on operating leases	$	55	$	39

__________

(a) The fair value of related assets was determined to be $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 measured utilizing Level 3 inputs. Fair value measurements of long-lived assets utilized projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the perceived business risks related to the assets involved.

The following table summarizes equipment on operating leases to daily rental car companies measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis (dollars in millions):

			Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Three months ended March 31, 2011	$	926	$	—	$	—	$	926

Impairment of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies with guaranteed repurchase obligations is determined to exist if the expected cash flows are lower than the carrying amount of the vehicle. We have multiple, distinct portfolios of vehicles leased to rental car companies and may have multiple impairments within a period. Expected cash flows include all estimated net revenue and costs associated with the sale to daily rental car companies through disposal at auction. The fair value measurements are determined, reviewed and approved on a monthly basis by personnel with appropriate knowledge of transactions with daily rental car companies and auction transactions.

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of Equipment on operating leases, net in the three months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in millions):

(a) The fair value of debt included $4.7 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $1.2 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2012. The fair value of debt included $4.4 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $1.1 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2011

The Level 2 fair value measurements utilize a discounted cash flow model. The valuation is reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark forward yield curves plus a spread that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk for secured or unsecured

obligations. We estimate our nonperformance risk using our corporate credit rating, the rating on our secured revolver, yields on traded bonds of companies with comparable credit ratings and risk profiles. We acquire the benchmark yield curves and nonperformance risk spread from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry. In certain circumstances, we adjust the valuation of debt for additional nonperformance risk or potential prepayment probability scenarios. We may use a probability weighting of prepayment scenarios when the stated rate exceeds market rates and the instrument contains prepayment features. The prepayment scenarios are adjusted to reflect the views of market participants. The fair value measurements subject to additional adjustments for nonperformance risk or prepayment have been categorized within Level 3.

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we prepaid and retired a debt obligation of $39 million with a carrying value of $21 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $18 million which primarily represented the unamortized debt discount.

__________

(a) Senior notes and convertible senior notes are included in GM Financial Long-term debt.

The carrying value of the syndicated warehouse facility and lease funding facilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value because these facilities have variable rates of interest and maturities of approximately one year. The fair value of bank funding facility and senior notes and convertible senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using a current risk-adjusted rate.

GM Financial uses observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value of the medium-term note facility. Observable inputs are used regarding an advance rate on the receivables to generate an estimated debt amount as well as the interest rate used to calculate the series of estimated principal payments. Those series of interest payments are discounted using an unobservable interest rate based on the most recent securitization in order to estimate fair value which would approximate the replacement value.

Securitization notes payable includes the 2012-PP1 Trust, for which GM Financial uses observable and unobservable inputs to

22

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

estimate fair value. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable input), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.

Note 15.Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

Contributions

We made a 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. This was a voluntary contribution above our funding requirements for the pension plans.

We continue to pursue various options to fund and derisk our pension plans, including continued changes to the pension asset portfolio mix to reduce funded status volatility and ceasing accrual of additional benefits in the U. S. salaried pension plan effective September 30, 2012. We are currently exploring other options that could result in a settlement of some of our pension liabilities.

Significant Plan Amendments, Benefit Modifications and Related Events

In January 2012 we amended the U.S. salaried pension plan to cease the accrual of additional benefits effective September 30, 2012. This amendment resulted in a curtailment which decreased the liability and decreased the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income by $309 million. Active plan participants will receive additional contributions in the defined contribution plan starting in October 2012.

Remeasurements

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our Goodwill impairment testing, resulting in an increase of $150 million in Pensions and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our Goodwill impairment testing, resulting in a decrease of $272 million in Pensions and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Refer to Note 9 for additional information on our Goodwill impairment.

Note 16.Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In accordance with our risk management policy, we enter into a variety of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. At March 31, 2012 our derivative instruments consisted primarily of forward contracts and options. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 no outstanding derivative contracts were designated in hedging relationships. We manage our counterparty credit risk by monitoring the credit ratings of our counterparties and by requiring them to post collateral in certain circumstances. Certain of our agreements with counterparties require that we provide cash collateral. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 no collateral was posted related to derivative instruments, and we did not have any agreements with counterparties to derivative instruments containing covenants requiring the maintenance of certain credit rating levels or credit risk ratios that would require the posting of collateral in the event that such covenants are violated.

We measure the fair value our portfolio of foreign currency, commodity and embedded derivatives using industry accepted models. The significant Level 2 inputs used in the valuation of our derivatives include spot rates, forward rates, volatility and interest rates. These inputs are obtained from pricing services, broker quotes and other sources.

We entered into a power plant lease agreement which included the purchase of natural gas at a fixed price adjusted for movements in heavy fuel oil and coal indices as published by a German governmental agency. The natural gas agreement was determined to be a derivative for accounting purposes and is valued as a forward contract. This commodity derivative valuation uses Level 3 inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivative are coal and heavy fuel oil forward rates and supplier credit spreads. Significant increases (decreases) in the coal and heavy fuel oil index and supplier credit spread would result in significant decreases (increases) to the fair value measurement.

We are party to 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. This embedded derivative is valued using an industry accepted model which is considered a Level 3 input.

26

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our embedded foreign currency derivative is the estimate of the Turkish central bank's Euro (EUR)/Turkish Lira (TRY) forward exchange rate and monthly volume commitment and vehicle mix. Significant decreases (increases) to EUR/TRY forward exchange rate and monthly volume commitment and vehicle mix would result in significant decreases (increases) to the fair value measurement.

The valuations are performed, reviewed and approved by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. For certain derivatives we compare our own valuations with valuations prepared by independent outside parties.

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the derivatives at March 31, 2012:

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Metric
Commodity	Discounted cash flow	Coal forward price in EUR(a)	€106.22

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 and manages this exposure with interest rate swaps and caps. GM Financial had interest rate swaps and caps in asset positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. GM Financial had interest rate swaps and caps in liability positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is insignificant.

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.

28

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

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 2012 through 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 22 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 and other obligations. These guarantees expire in 2012 through 2016 or are ongoing, or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances, certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. At March 31, 2012 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 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. Recorded liabilities are not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other parties. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from five 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. Subsequent adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information obtained. In future periods, new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. It is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2012 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $140 million to $330 million.

Product Liability

With respect to product liability claims involving our and Old GM's products, we believe that any judgment against us for actual

29

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

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

We indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims including products sold by Old GM. We monitor actual claims experience and make periodic adjustments to our estimates. Based on management's judgment concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims, we have applied actuarial methodologies and estimated the 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; 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, "Income Taxes" (indirect tax-related matters) and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with indirect tax-related matters as well as various non-U.S. labor-related matters. Indirect tax-related matters are 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. Escrow deposits may range from $556 million to $772 million. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs, or sanctions, that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2012. 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. 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 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. Although GM Korea intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted, at March 31, 2012 we have an accrual of 166 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $146 million) in connection with these cases. The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs' claims, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 607 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $533 million) which represents the 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 if new information becomes available.

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former 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 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 on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the Dealer Sales and Service Agreements 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

30

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

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. On March 26, 2012 the Ontario Superior Court dismissed GMCL's appeal of the class certification order. Accordingly the case will proceed as a class action. The current prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable, we have no accrual relating to this litigation. 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 April 6, 2010 the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (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 contractually required to make this contribution. The reasonably possible loss as defined by ASC 450 “Contingencies” 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 (Bankruptcy Court) asserting that the UAW's claim is barred by the Bankruptcy Court approved 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement and by other orders issued by the 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 relevant agreement and therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion abstaining from hearing the case, which will accordingly be litigated in the 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 were 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 Bankruptcy Court, exceed $35.0 billion. Following the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, any Adjustment Shares we are obligated to issue will be issuable to the GUC Trust. The maximum number of Adjustment Shares issuable is 30 million shares (subject to adjustment to take into account stock dividends, stock splits and other transactions). The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued is calculated based on the extent to which estimated general unsecured claims exceed $35.0 billion with the maximum number of Adjustment Shares issued if estimated general unsecured claims total $42.0 billion or more. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 $215 million and $209 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Through March 31, 2012 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.

Note 18.Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our 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.

31

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 income tax expense of $216 million and $137 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

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 2011 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 March 2012 a Mexican income tax audit covering the 2004 tax year was concluded and an assessment of $134 million including tax, interest and penalties was issued. The total 2002, 2003 and 2004 assessments as of March 31, 2012 including tax, interest and penalties is $307 million. We believe we have adequate reserves established. Collection of any assessment will be suspended until a revised assessment is issued and during any subsequent proceedings through U.S. and Mexican competent authorities.

At March 31, 2012 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.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 tables summarize 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):

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

Our 2011 UAW labor agreement included cash severance incentive programs which were completed at March 31, 2012 for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees. A total of 1,400 skilled trade U.S. hourly employees participated in these programs at a total cost of $99 million and was recorded upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties. Substantially all of the program cost was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other primarily related to previously announced separation and early retirement programs in Germany. Through March 31, 2012, the separation programs had a total cost of $313 million and affected a total of 1,900 employees. We expect to incur an additional $0.1 billion to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 350 employees. To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is recorded at the communication date.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the reserves primarily related to skilled trades U.S. hourly employees who participated in a special attrition program.

GME recorded charges and interest accretion and other for separation programs primarily related to previously announced programs in Germany.

Dealer Wind-downs

We market vehicles worldwide through a network of independent retail dealers and distributors. We determined that a reduction in the number of GMNA dealerships was necessary.

Note 20.Earnings Per Share

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding.

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

__________

(a) Includes earned but undeclared dividends of $26 million on our Series A Preferred Stock and $20 million on our Series B Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

(b) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and earnings of $96 million that have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

(c) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and earnings of $90 million that have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

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. 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. 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.

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.

MLC distributed all of its 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors and the GUC Trust. 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.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

Warrants to purchase 313 million shares of our common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2012, 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 116 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of 18 million unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives. 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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Because the applicable market value of our common stock was within the price range of $33.00 to $39.60 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, we were not required to use the two-class method for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. The dilutive effect of these securities was determined by assuming conversion of the securities at the beginning of the period resulting in an increase to the weighted-average common shares outstanding and an increase to Net income attributable to common stockholders for accumulated dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock.

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, 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 our common stock. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining warrants resulted in 162 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of 15 million unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives. 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. These shares were not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Note 21.Stock Incentive Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plan

We granted 6 million and 5 million RSUs valued at the grant date fair value of our common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These awards granted 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.

The 2012 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) obligations that are repaid. The awards for the Next 75 and non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will vest and settle on the 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.

The 2011 awards granted 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 TARP 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 the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 a portion of each participant's salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. The awards are fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant therefore compensation cost is fully recognized on the date of grant. On March 29, 2012 we amended the plan to provide for cash settlement of awards. As a

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

result we will now settle these awards in cash and we reclassified $97 million from Capital surplus to Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. Prior to this amendment it was our policy to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

RSUs

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs under our stock incentive plans (RSUs in millions):

	Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term
RSUs outstanding at January 1, 2012	22.5		$	23.01	1.1
Granted	6.7		$	25.99
Settled	(1.4	)	$	34.64
Forfeited or expired	(0.3	)	$	23.16
RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2012	27.5		$	23.12	1.4
RSUs unvested and expected to vest at March 31, 2012	18.5		$	23.74	1.7
RSUs vested and payable at March 31, 2012	8.3		$	21.53	—

We recorded compensation expense of $72 million and $53 million for our stock incentive plans in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The compensation cost of each RSU that will be settled in equity is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant or, for those RSUs reclassified from liability to equity-based awards, the fair value of our common stock as of the date of the public offering.

At March 31, 2012 the total unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested equity awards was $361 million. This expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $49 million and $24 million.

Fair Value of Ally Financial Common Stock

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we held a 9.9% common equity ownership in Ally Financial. Our entire equity ownership is held indirectly through an independent trust which has the sole authority to vote the shares and is required to dispose of all Ally Financial common stock by December 24, 2013.

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 analyses included Ally Financial's March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 financial statements, financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, and the effects of certain Ally Financial shareholder rights described below. The measurement of Ally Financial common stock is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

At December 31, 2011 we determined the carrying amount of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. Our estimate of fair value resulted from broader macroeconomic uncertainties and volatility in the financial markets including the eurozone debt crisis, continued heightened risk of recession and concerns about Ally Financial's mortgage related operations. Our estimate considered the potential effect of contractual provisions held by the United States Department of the Treasury who may receive incremental ownership interest in Ally Financial depending upon Ally Financial's equity value at the time of a successful public offering or private sale. These contractual provisions could result in significant dilution of our ownership interest. Based on an evaluation of the duration and severity of this decline in fair value, we concluded the impairment was other than temporary. As a result we recorded an impairment charge of $555 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net to reduce our investment to its estimated fair value of $403 million.

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

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Carrying amount	$	403	$	403
Fair value	$	916	$	403

Ally Financial Preferred Stock

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 $339 million related to the sale was recorded in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.

Note 23.Segment Reporting

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 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, as adjusted for additional amounts, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests, and evaluates GM Financial through income 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

38

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

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 customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:

•     Buick •      Cadillac •      Chevrolet •      GMC

The demands of 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 March 31, 2012 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.

In 2012 we recorded loss on extinguishment of debt within Corporate for segment reporting purposes. Previously gains and losses on extinguishment of debt were recorded within the applicable automotive segments. This change is consistent with how management currently views the results of our operations.

All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following tables summarize key financial information by segment (dollars in millions):

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.”

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, 2011 (2011 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.

Supplemental Consolidating Information

We are providing supplemental consolidating information in order to provide more transparency into the financial position, operating results and cash flows of our two businesses, Automotive and GM Financial.

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 revenues 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.

Change in Presentation of Financial Statements

In 2012 we changed the presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain footnotes to classify the assets and liabilities of GM Financial as current or non-current and to combine line items which were either of a related nature or not individually material. We have made corresponding reclassifications to the comparable information for all periods presented.

Overview

Automotive

Our vision is to design, build and sell the world's best vehicles. 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. Our business is diversified across products and geographic markets. We meet the local sales and service needs of our retail and fleet customers with a global network of independent dealers. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 73.3% of our vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S., including 46.7% from emerging markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (collectively BRIC), which have recently experienced the industry's highest volume growth.

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

42

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

• GMNA, with sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and sales and distribution operations in Central America and the Caribbean, represented 30.9% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and we had the largest market share in this market at 16.7%.

• 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 17.5% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2012. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we estimate we had the number four market share in this market at 8.2%. 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. GMIO represented 40.7% of our global vehicle sales volume, including sales through our joint ventures, in the three months ended March 31, 2012. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we estimate we had the number two market share in this market at 9.4% and the number one market share in China. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 GMIO derived 80.3% 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, distribution and financing operations in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela as well as sales and distribution operations in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, represented 10.9% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2012. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we estimate we had the largest market share in this market at 18.4%. We had the number three market share in Brazil. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 GMSA derived 54.9% of its vehicle sales volume from Brazil.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial specializes in purchasing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by GM and non-GM franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles. GM Financial also offers lease products through GM dealerships in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles that target customers with sub-prime and prime credit bureau scores. GM Financial primarily generates revenue and cash flows 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 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 that are also variable interest entities that meet the requirements to be consolidated in the financial statements.

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 Baojun, Jiefang and Wuling brands. We operate in Chinese markets through a number of joint ventures and maintaining good relations with our joint ventures partners, which are affiliated with the Chinese government, is an important part of our China growth strategy.

Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for our direct ownership interests in our Chinese joint ventures, collectively referred to as China JVs.

The following tables summarize certain key operational and financial data for the China JVs (dollars in millions, vehicles in thousands):

Automotive Financing Strategy

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

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 continues to provide the majority of the financing needs of our dealers and customers.

We utilize 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.

In April 2011 GM Financial began originating leases for our customers in Canada via FinanciaLinx Corporation. 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 important to our business.

In January 2012 in order to increase our competitiveness and benefit from increased financing sources, we entered into an arrangement with a bank to provide incentivized retail financing in the western region of the U.S.

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 U.S. and internationally. We expect any expansion of GM Financial or any arrangements with other financing providers will complement our important relationship with Ally Financial.

Alliance with Peugeot S.A.

In February 2012 we entered into an agreement with Peugeot S.A. (PSA) to create a long-term and broad-scale global strategic alliance that is expected to leverage the combined strengths and capabilities of the two companies, contribute to our profitability and improve our competitiveness in Europe. In connection with the alliance we acquired a seven percent equity stake in PSA for $0.4 billion. The alliance is structured around two main pillars: the sharing of vehicle platforms, components and modules and the creation of a global purchasing joint venture for the sourcing of commodities, components and other goods and services. The implementation of the strategic alliance is subject to the execution of various definitive agreements which will outline the terms of the joint business activities.

Restructuring Activities

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

44

improve the utilization of remaining facilities.

Our 2011 labor agreement with the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America included cash severance incentive programs which were completed at March 31, 2012 for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees. A total of 1,400 skilled trade U.S. hourly employees participated in these programs at a total cost of $0.1 billion and was recorded upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties. Substantially all of the program cost was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Benefit Plan Changes

U.S. Salaried Benefit Changes

In January 2012 we amended the U.S. salaried pension plan to cease the accrual of additional benefits effective September 30, 2012. This amendment resulted in a curtailment which decreased the liability and decreased the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income by $0.3 billion Active plan participants will receive additional contributions in the defined contribution plan starting in October 2012.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has introduced foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.

Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding amounts pending government approval for settlement and the net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.

Production and Retail Vehicle Sales Volume

Management believes that production volume and retail 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 after the completion of production. Retail vehicle sales data, which represents estimated sales to the end customer, including fleets, does not correlate directly to the revenue we recognize during the period. However, retail vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for our vehicles and is the basis for our market share.

Information relating to our relative position in the global automotive industry is based upon the good faith estimates of management and includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on the percentage of ownership in the joint venture. Market share information is based on retail vehicle sales volume. Worldwide market share and vehicle sales data excludes the markets of Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

Production volume includes vehicles produced by certain joint ventures. The joint venture agreements with SGMW and FAW-GM allow for significant rights as a member as well as the contractual right to report SGMW and FAW-GM joint venture production in China. The following table summarizes total production volume (vehicles in thousands):

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 Automotive cost of sales increased by $1.2 billion (or 3.9%), in line with Total net sales and revenue, due primarily to: (1) increased costs of $0.9 billion related to increased wholesale volumes; (2) unfavorable vehicle mix of $0.5 billion; (3) increased material and freight costs of $0.2 billion; (4) increased employee costs of $0.2 billion due to decreased net pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) income and costs related to the cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees; (5) increased policy and warranty expense of $0.2 billion; partially offset by (6) net foreign currency translation, remeasurement and transaction gains of $0.7 billion due to the weakening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; and (7) decreased costs of $0.1 billion related to powertrain and parts sales.

Income tax expense	$	216	$	137	$	79	57.7	%

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 Income tax expense increased by $0.1 billion (or 57.7%) due primarily to increased tax expense in profitable entities which are included in our effective tax rate calculation, including but not limited to increased tax expense in Australia resulting from the release of their valuation allowance in the three months ended December 31, 2011.

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

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments decreased by $1.7 billion (or 80.3%) due primarily to a gain related to the sale of our New Delphi Class A Membership Interests and related equity income in the three months ended March 31, 2011 that did not recur in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Reconciliation of Consolidated, Automotive and GM Financial Segment Results

Management believes earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our automotive segments' operating results because it excludes interest income, interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional amounts. Management does not consider these excluded items when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization, its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources, such as capital investment, among business units and for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Such adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill and certain investments, gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations and gains or losses on the sale of non-core investments. Management believes this measure allows it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions. We believe EBIT-adjusted is useful in allowing for greater transparency of our core operations and is therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

While management believes that EBIT-adjusted 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-adjusted 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-adjusted has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income or Net income attributable to stockholders. Due to these limitations, EBIT-adjusted 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.

In 2012 we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt within Corporate for segment reporting purposes, and it is excluded from EBIT-adjusted. Previously gains and losses on extinguishment of debt were recorded within the applicable automotive segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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) reinvestment in our business through capital expenditures, engineering and product development activities; (2) pension contributions and OPEB payments; (3) payments to reduce debt and other long-term obligations; (4) dividend payments on our Series A and Series B Preferred Shares; and (5) 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 $0.8 billion.

Based upon our current outlook, we expect GMNA's results for the second and third quarters of 2012 to be affected by the scheduled downtime at factories which produce our full-size trucks.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2011 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.

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. Maintaining minimal 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.

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. This may include additional loans or investments with our joint venture partners and may negatively impact our liquidity in the short-term. As previously mentioned, in February 2012 we entered into an agreement with PSA to create an alliance to leverage the strengths and capabilities of our two companies. Pursuant to the agreement we acquired a seven percent equity stake in PSA for $0.4 billion. Further implementation of the strategic alliance is subject to the execution of various definitive agreements which will outline the terms of the joint business activities.

We continue to pursue various options to fund and derisk our pension plans, including continued changes to the pension asset portfolio mix to reduce funded status volatility and ceasing accrual of additional benefits in the U. S. salaried pension plan effective September 30, 2012. We are currently exploring other options that could result in a settlement of some of our pension liabilities.

Available Liquidity

Available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents and current marketable securities balances. At March 31, 2012 our available liquidity was $31.5 billion, excluding funds available under credit facilities of $5.9 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.

We manage our liquidity primarily at our treasury centers as well as at certain of our significant consolidated overseas subsidiaries. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities balances include investments in U.S. government and agency obligations, foreign government securities, time deposits and certificates of deposits and corporate debt securities, and are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. Our investment guidelines, which we may change from time to time, prescribe certain minimum credit rating thresholds and limit our exposures to any particular sector, asset class, issuance or security type. Substantially all of our current investments in debt securities are with A/A2 or better rated issuers. We maintain cash balances and investments in certain foreign currencies, such as the Canadian Dollar (CAD), to fund future payments on foreign currency denominated obligations thereby reducing a portion of the related foreign currency exposure. We actively monitor and manage our liquidity exposure to Europe which is related primarily to short-term bank deposits and short-term debt securities of high-quality European issuers. 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 intercompany loans to utilize these funds across our global operations as needed. The following table summarizes our liquidity (dollars in millions):

Credit Facilities

We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity.

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):

(a) Consists of credit facilities available at our foreign subsidiaries that are not individually significant.

Our largest credit facility is our five year, $5.0 billion secured revolving credit facility which includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $500 million. Additionally, we can use collateral under the revolving credit facility to support other obligations of up to $2.0 billion. We continue to evaluate potential uses for this collateral which may strengthen our overall liquidity position without impacting our financial leverage. We entered into the secured revolving credit facility agreement in October 2010. 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 excluding cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and GM Financial. If we receive an investment grade corporate rating from two or more of the credit rating agencies: Fitch Ratings, Moody's Investor Service and Standard & Poor's, we may no longer have to post collateral under the terms of the facility.

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.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 net cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 billion compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to: (1) favorable changes in working capital of $2.2 billion including the termination of advance wholesale agreements in GMNA which adversely impacted working capital in 2011; and (2) other items of $0.7 billion which primarily included increased non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $0.2 billion and other collectively insignificant items. Net income decreased by $2.1 billion due primarily to one-time gains on the sale of our investments in New Delphi and Ally Financial preferred stock of $1.9 billion in 2011.

Investing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 net cash used by investing activities was $0.7 billion compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $0.6 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to: (1) proceeds received from the sale of our investments in New Delphi and Ally Financial preferred stock of $4.8 billion in 2011; and (2) increased capital expenditures of $0.7 billion as we continue to reinvest in our business; partially offset by (3) proceeds in excess of new investments in marketable securities of $4.2 billion.

Financing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 cash flows from financing activities remained flat due primarily to: (1) additional payments on debt obligations of $0.1 billion in 2012 were offset by (2) a payment to acquire an additional interest in GM Korea Company (GM Korea) of $0.1 billion in 2011.

Free Cash Flow

Management believes free cash flow provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the liquidity of our automotive operations and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow above those required in our business to sustain our operations. We measure free cash flow as cash flow from operations adjusted for capital expenditures. While management believes that free cash flow provides useful information, it is not an operating measure under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with its use. Our calculation of free cash flow 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 free cash flow has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as cash flows from operating activities. Due to these limitations, free cash flow is used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. The following table summarizes free cash flow (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

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 those credit facilities (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
	Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding		Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding
Syndicated warehouse facility	$	2,000	$	277	$	2,000	$	621
U.S. lease warehouse facility(a)	$	600	—		$	600	—
Canada lease warehouse facility(b)	$	600	248		$	589	181
Medium-term note facility(c)			254				294
Bank funding facility			—				3
Total			$	779			$	1,099

__________

(a) In January 2012 GM Financial extended the maturity date of the lease warehouse facility for lease originations in the U.S. to January 2013. Borrowings on the facility are collateralized by leased assets.

(b) Borrowings on this facility are collateralized by leased assets. The facility amount represents CAD $600 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the advances outstanding amount represents CAD $248 million and CAD $185 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

(c) 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.

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.

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 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Our current agreement with Ally Financial requires the repurchase of Ally Financial financed inventory invoiced to dealers with

61

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

limited exclusions, in the event of a qualifying voluntary or involuntary termination of the dealer's sales and service agreement. The repurchase obligation ended in August 2011 for vehicles invoiced through August 2010, ends in August 2012 for vehicles invoiced through August 2011 and ends in August 2013 for vehicles invoiced through August 2012.

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 is estimated to be $22.9 billion and $19.8 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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 $16 million and $17 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 which considers the likelihood of dealers terminating and estimating the loss exposure for the ultimate disposition of vehicles.

Refer to Notes 17 and 22 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on guarantees we have provided.

Fair Value Measurements

Refer to Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding derivative fair value measurements.

Dividends

The declaration of any dividend on our common stock is a matter to be acted upon by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Since our formation we have not paid any dividends on our common stock and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. Our payment of dividends on our common stock in the future, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion out of funds legally available for that purpose and will depend on business conditions, our financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, the covenants in our debt instruments and other factors.

So long as any share of our Series A or B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A and B Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our common stock payable solely in shares of our common stock. Our secured revolving credit facility contains certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, subject to exceptions, such as dividends payable solely in shares of our common stock. So long as any share of our Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our Series B Preferred Stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock solely in shares of our common stock.

The following table summarizes dividends paid on our Series A and B Preferred Stock (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
Series A Preferred Stock	$	155	$	155
Series B Preferred Stock(a)	60		65
Total Preferred Stock dividends paid	$	215	$	220

__________

(a) Cumulative unpaid dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock were $20 million at March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Employees

At March 31, 2012 we employed 209,000 employees of whom 141,000 (68%) were hourly employees and 68,000 (32%) were salaried employees. The following table summarizes worldwide employment (in thousands):

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. 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. 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 2011 Form 10-K, with updates to our critical accounting estimates related to events occurring subsequent to the filing of our 2011 Form 10-K discussed below.

Impairment of Goodwill

We adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2010-28, "When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts," on January 1, 2011 and performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing for our GME reporting unit which had a negative carrying amount resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained earnings of $1.5 billion. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 we performed an event-driven goodwill impairment test at our GME reporting unit which resulted in Goodwill impairment charges of $590 million and $395 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we also performed an event-driven goodwill impairment test at our GM Korea reporting unit which resulted in Goodwill impairment charge of $27 million. Refer to Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these Goodwill impairment charges, including assumptions utilized in determining the fair values of GME and GM Korea and the amounts of these reporting units' implied goodwill.

The key assumptions utilized in determining the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences giving rise to the implied goodwill for GME and GM Korea are the determination of our nonperformance risk, interest rates, estimates of our employee benefit related obligations and/or the estimated timing of the utilization of our deferred tax assets, including our determination whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be utilized. Of these factors, the amount of implied goodwill determined for GME is most sensitive to changes in our nonperformance risk, interest rates and estimates of our employee benefit related obligations. The amount of implied goodwill determined for GM Korea is most sensitive to our determination of whether it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will or will not be utilized.

Our fair value estimates assume the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in our forecasted cash flows and there can be no assurance that we will realize that value. The estimates and assumptions used are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved.

Forward-Looking Statements

In this report and in reports we subsequently file and have previously filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and file or furnish on Form 8-K, and in related comments by our management, we use words like “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “priorities,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “when,” “would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future

63

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

events. In making these statements we rely on assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors, both positive and negative. These factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, include among others the following:

• Our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our restructuring initiatives and labor modifications;

• Our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls;

• Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt, including as required to fund our planned significant investment in new technology, and, even if funded, our ability to realize successful vehicle applications of new technology;

• Shortages of and increases or volatility in the price of oil, including as a result of political instability in the Middle East and African nations;

• The effect of business or liquidity difficulties for us or one or more subsidiaries on other entities in our corporate group as a result of our highly integrated and complex corporate structure and operation;

• Our ability to continue to attract customers, particularly for our new products, including cars and crossover vehicles;

• Availability of adequate financing on acceptable terms to our customers, dealers, distributors and suppliers to enable them to continue their business relationships with us;

• The ability of our suppliers to deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at such times to allow us to meet production schedules;

• Our ability to take actions we believe are important to our long-term strategy;

• Our ability to manage the distribution channels for our products;

• Our ability to successfully restructure our European operations;

• The continued availability of both wholesale and retail financing from Ally Financial and its affiliates and other finance companies in markets in which we operate to support our ability to sell vehicles, which is dependent on those entities' ability to obtain funding and their continued willingness to provide financing, which may be reduced or suspended;

• Our continued ability to develop captive financing capability, including through GM Financial;

• Overall strength and stability of general economic conditions and of the automotive industry, both in the U.S. and in global markets;

• Continued economic instability or poor economic conditions in the U.S., Europe and other global markets, including the credit markets, or changes in economic conditions, commodity prices, housing prices, foreign currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate;

• Significant changes in the competitive environment, including the effect of competition and excess manufacturing capacity in our markets, on our pricing policies or use of incentives and the introduction of new and improved vehicle models by our competitors;

• Significant changes in economic and market conditions in China, including the effect of competition from new market entrants, on our vehicle sales and market position in China;

• Changes in the existing, or the adoption of new, laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations, including where such actions may affect the production, licensing, distribution or sale of our products, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates;

• Costs and risks associated with litigation;

• Significant increases in our pension expense or projected pension contributions resulting from changes in the value of plan assets, the discount rate applied to value the pension liabilities or other assumption changes; and

• Changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings.

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 March 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2012.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 2011 Form 10-K. We and the other defendants affiliated with us intend to defend all of the following actions vigorously.

Canadian Dealer Class Action

General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) is defending a class action asserted on behalf of over 200 Canadian General Motors dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL in May 2009 asserting various claims related to those agreements. On March 1, 2011 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice 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 March 26, 2012 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed GMCL's appeal of the class certification order. Accordingly the case will proceed as a class action.

OnStar Analog Equipment Litigation

Our wholly-owned subsidiary OnStar Corporation (OnStar) is a party to more than 20 putative class actions filed in various states, including Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California which have been consolidated for pretrial purposes in a multi-district proceeding under the caption In re OnStar Contract Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The litigation arises out of the discontinuation by OnStar of services to vehicles equipped with analog hardware. On December 19, 2011 the court denied plaintiffs' motion for class certification. On March 16, 2012 the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied plaintiffs' petition to appeal. Absent future adverse developments, we will discontinue reporting on this matter.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

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. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Executive Retirement Plan

With Modifications through October 1, 2012

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 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 I.

The Plan also provides benefits, but only to the extent required, pursuant to (1) the Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2009 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), and (2) the Order (I) Authorizing Sale of Assets Pursuant to Amended and Restated Master Purchase Agreement with NGMCO, Inc., a U.S. Treasury-Sponsored Purchaser; (II) Authorizing Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in Connection with the Sale; and (III) Granting Related Relief, entered on July 5, 2009 (D.I. 2968) (the “Sale Order”), to certain individuals who were never Company employees but who retired from General Motors Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”), General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) and Promark, formerly known as General Motors Asset Management (GMAM) (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Corporation and its Related Companies”).

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.

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 (Defined Contribution Benefits, Excess Benefits, and Discretionary Awards, respectively) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “DC ERP” portion of the Plan.

Article I, Section IV. Individuals Not Eligible; Suspensions; and Normal Retirement Age

(a) The following classes of individuals are ineligible to participate in the Plan regardless of any other Plan terms to the contrary, and regardless of whether the individual is or was a common-law employee of GM or the Corporation and its Related Companies:

(3) Any individual that the Company, in good faith, classifies as an independent contractor, consultant, contract employee, or bundled-services employee during the period the individual is so classified by the Company.

The purpose of Section IV (a) is to exclude from participation in the Plan all persons who actually may be common-law employees of GM or the Corporation and its Related Companies, but are not paid as though they are employees of such company regardless of the reason they are excluded from the payroll, and regardless of whether the exclusion is correct.

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).

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.

(c)No Employee shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan.

(d)Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to constitute an employment or service contract or confer or be deemed to confer on any Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Subsidiary or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate an Employee's employment or a Participant's service at any time, with or without cause.

(e)All Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares may be then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any certificates or other indicia of ownership of such Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

(f)No Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would comply with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws and any other laws to which such offer, if made, would be subject.

(g)The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or payment due under the Plan the amount of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award or payment hereunder and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company or its Subsidiaries to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Table Text Block]

The following table summarizes equipment on operating leases to daily rental car companies measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis (dollars in millions):

			Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
	Fair Value Measures		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Three months ended March 31, 2012	$	937	$	—	$	—	$	937
Three months ended March 31, 2011	$	926	$	—	$	—	$	926

Impairment of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies with guaranteed repurchase obligations is determined to exist if the expected cash flows are lower than the carrying amount of the vehicle. We have multiple, distinct portfolios of vehicles leased to rental car companies and may have multiple impairments within a period. Expected cash flows include all estimated net revenue and costs associated with the sale to daily rental car companies through disposal at auction. The fair value measurements are determined, reviewed and approved on a monthly basis by personnel with appropriate knowledge of transactions with daily rental car companies and auction transactions.

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of Equipment on operating leases, net in the three months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in millions):

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Amount
Impaired equipment on operating leases	Cash flow	Estimated net revenue	$	960
		Estimated cost	$	1,015

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the derivatives at March 31, 2012:

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Metric
Commodity	Discounted cash flow	Coal forward price in EUR(a)	€106.22
		Heavy fuel oil forward price in EUR(a)	€512.78
		Supplier nonperformance risk (average)	3.68%
Embedded	Discounted cash flow	Average EUR/TRY forward exchange rate(b)	€2.86
		Volume commitment and vehicle mix in EUR(c)	€1.0 billion

__________

(a) Forward prices are estimated to be equivalents of the spot price as published by a governmental agency.

(b) Calculated by adjusting market forward rates for the spread between current market and Turkish central bank spot prices.

(c) Volume commitment is spread evenly on a monthly basis and vehicle mix is pursuant to management forecasts

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011 income tax expense of $216 million and $137 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

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 2011 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 March 2012 a Mexican income tax audit covering the 2004 tax year was concluded and an assessment of $134 million including tax, interest and penalties was issued. The total 2002, 2003 and 2004 assessments as of March 31, 2012 including tax, interest and penalties is $307 million. We believe we have adequate reserves established. Collection of any assessment will be suspended until a revised assessment is issued and during any subsequent proceedings through U.S. and Mexican competent authorities.

At March 31, 2012 it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes depreciation, amortization and impairment charges related to Property, net, Equipment on operating leases, net and GM Financial equipment on operating leases, net (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011

Depreciation of equipment on operating leases	$	92	$	80
Impairment charges of equipment on operating leases	$	55	$	39

__________

(a) The fair value of related assets was determined to be $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 measured utilizing Level 3 inputs. Fair value measurements of long-lived assets utilized projected cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the perceived business risks related to the assets involved.

Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Table Text Block]

The following table summarizes equipment on operating leases to daily rental car companies measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs on a nonrecurring basis (dollars in millions):

			Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
	Fair Value Measures		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Three months ended March 31, 2011	$	926	$	—	$	—	$	926

Impairment of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies with guaranteed repurchase obligations is determined to exist if the expected cash flows are lower than the carrying amount of the vehicle. We have multiple, distinct portfolios of vehicles leased to rental car companies and may have multiple impairments within a period. Expected cash flows include all estimated net revenue and costs associated with the sale to daily rental car companies through disposal at auction. The fair value measurements are determined, reviewed and approved on a monthly basis by personnel with appropriate knowledge of transactions with daily rental car companies and auction transactions.

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of Equipment on operating leases, net in the three months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in millions):

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Amount
Impaired equipment on operating leases	Cash flow	Estimated net revenue	$	960
		Estimated cost	$	1,015

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the derivatives at March 31, 2012:

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Metric
Commodity	Discounted cash flow	Coal forward price in EUR(a)	€106.22
		Heavy fuel oil forward price in EUR(a)	€512.78
		Supplier nonperformance risk (average)	3.68%
Embedded	Discounted cash flow	Average EUR/TRY forward exchange rate(b)	€2.86
		Volume commitment and vehicle mix in EUR(c)	€1.0 billion

__________

(a) Forward prices are estimated to be equivalents of the spot price as published by a governmental agency.

(b) Calculated by adjusting market forward rates for the spread between current market and Turkish central bank spot prices.

(c) Volume commitment is spread evenly on a monthly basis and vehicle mix is pursuant to management forecasts

Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards (Notes)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2012

Basis Of Presentation

Basis of Accounting [Text Block]

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, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC.

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.

Change in Presentation of Financial Statements

In 2012 we changed the presentation of our condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and certain footnotes to classify the assets and liabilities of GM Financial as current or non-current and to combine line items which were either of a related nature or not individually material. We have made corresponding reclassifications to the comparable information for all periods presented.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has introduced foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.

The aggregate net assets of our Venezuelan subsidiaries at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $596 million and $438 million. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 other consolidated entities have receivables from our Venezuelan subsidiaries of $482 million and $380 million. The total amounts pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were BsF 2.7 billion (equivalent to $633 million) and BsF 2.3 billion (equivalent to $535 million), for which some requests have been pending from 2007.

Significant Non-Cash Activity

Investing Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the amounts of non-cash property additions that have been excluded from Expenditures for property within the investing activities section of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows because no cash has been expended (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012		2011
Non-cash property additions	$	1,927	$	1,257

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In 2012 we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05) that requires presentation of all non-owner changes in equity in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to provide a separate statement of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) or when an OCI item must be reclassified to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect our condensed consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 was modified in December 2011 by the issuance of ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the disclosure of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component of net income and by component of OCI.

(b) The maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made to Ally Financial under this guarantee is based on the repurchase value of total eligible vehicles financed by Ally Financial in dealer stock. 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.

(d) Represents interest incurred on notes payable and wholesale settlements. In January 2012 we received $21 million from Ally Financial as part of a settlement of previously overcharged interest.

Fair Value of Ally Financial Common Stock

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we held a 9.9% common equity ownership in Ally Financial. Our entire equity ownership is held indirectly through an independent trust which has the sole authority to vote the shares and is required to dispose of all Ally Financial common stock by December 24, 2013.

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 analyses included Ally Financial's March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 financial statements, financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, and the effects of certain Ally Financial shareholder rights described below. The measurement of Ally Financial common stock is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

At December 31, 2011 we determined the carrying amount of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. Our estimate of fair value resulted from broader macroeconomic uncertainties and volatility in the financial markets including the eurozone debt crisis, continued heightened risk of recession and concerns about Ally Financial's mortgage related operations. Our estimate considered the potential effect of contractual provisions held by the United States Department of the Treasury who may receive incremental ownership interest in Ally Financial depending upon Ally Financial's equity value at the time of a successful public offering or private sale. These contractual provisions could result in significant dilution of our ownership interest. Based on an evaluation of the duration and severity of this decline in fair value, we concluded the impairment was other than temporary. As a result we recorded an impairment charge of $555 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net to reduce our investment to its estimated fair value of $403 million.

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

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Carrying amount	$	403	$	403
Fair value	$	916	$	403

Ally Financial Preferred Stock

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 $339 million related to the sale was recorded in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.

Stock Incentive Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plan

We granted 6 million and 5 million RSUs valued at the grant date fair value of our common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. These awards granted 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.

The 2012 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) obligations that are repaid. The awards for the Next 75 and non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will vest and settle on the 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.

The 2011 awards granted 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 TARP 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 the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 a portion of each participant's salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. The awards are fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant therefore compensation cost is fully recognized on the date of grant. On March 29, 2012 we amended the plan to provide for cash settlement of awards. As a result we will now settle these awards in cash and we reclassified $97 million from Capital surplus to Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. Prior to this amendment it was our policy to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

RSUs

The following table summarizes information about the RSUs under our stock incentive plans (RSUs in millions):

	Shares		Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term
RSUs outstanding at January 1, 2012	22.5		$	23.01	1.1
Granted	6.7		$	25.99
Settled	(1.4	)	$	34.64
Forfeited or expired	(0.3	)	$	23.16
RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2012	27.5		$	23.12	1.4
RSUs unvested and expected to vest at March 31, 2012	18.5		$	23.74	1.7
RSUs vested and payable at March 31, 2012	8.3		$	21.53	—

We recorded compensation expense of $72 million and $53 million for our stock incentive plans in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The compensation cost of each RSU that will be settled in equity is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant or, for those RSUs reclassified from liability to equity-based awards, the fair value of our common stock as of the date of the public offering.

At March 31, 2012 the total unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested equity awards was $361 million. This expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $49 million and $24 million.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

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 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, as adjusted for additional amounts, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests, and evaluates GM Financial through income 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 customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:

•     Buick •      Cadillac •      Chevrolet •      GMC

The demands of 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 March 31, 2012 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.

In 2012 we recorded loss on extinguishment of debt within Corporate for segment reporting purposes. Previously gains and losses on extinguishment of debt were recorded within the applicable automotive segments. This change is consistent with how management currently views the results of our operations.

All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards [Abstract]

NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicy [Policy Text Block]

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In 2012 we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05) that requires presentation of all non-owner changes in equity in one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We elected to provide a separate statement of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income (OCI) or when an OCI item must be reclassified to net income. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not affect our condensed consolidated statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 was modified in December 2011 by the issuance of ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” This update indefinitely defers certain provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the disclosure of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component of net income and by component of OCI.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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.

Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]

Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

Contributions

We made a 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. This was a voluntary contribution above our funding requirements for the pension plans.

We continue to pursue various options to fund and derisk our pension plans, including continued changes to the pension asset portfolio mix to reduce funded status volatility and ceasing accrual of additional benefits in the U. S. salaried pension plan effective September 30, 2012. We are currently exploring other options that could result in a settlement of some of our pension liabilities.

Significant Plan Amendments, Benefit Modifications and Related Events

In January 2012 we amended the U.S. salaried pension plan to cease the accrual of additional benefits effective September 30, 2012. This amendment resulted in a curtailment which decreased the liability and decreased the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income by $309 million. Active plan participants will receive additional contributions in the defined contribution plan starting in October 2012.

Remeasurements

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our Goodwill impairment testing, resulting in an increase of $150 million in Pensions and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our Goodwill impairment testing, resulting in a decrease of $272 million in Pensions and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial gain component of Accumulated other comprehensive income.

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 2012 through 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 22 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 and other obligations. These guarantees expire in 2012 through 2016 or are ongoing, or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances, certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. At March 31, 2012 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 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. Recorded liabilities are not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other parties. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from five 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. Subsequent adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information obtained. In future periods, new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. It is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2012 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $140 million to $330 million.

Product Liability

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

We indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims including products sold by Old GM. We monitor actual claims experience and make periodic adjustments to our estimates. Based on management's judgment concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims, we have applied actuarial methodologies and estimated the 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; 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, "Income Taxes" (indirect tax-related matters) and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with indirect tax-related matters as well as various non-U.S. labor-related matters. Indirect tax-related matters are 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. Escrow deposits may range from $556 million to $772 million. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs, or sanctions, that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2012. 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. 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 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. Although GM Korea intends to vigorously defend the claims asserted, at March 31, 2012 we have an accrual of 166 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $146 million) in connection with these cases. The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs' claims, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 607 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $533 million) which represents the 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 if new information becomes available.

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former 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 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 on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the Dealer Sales and Service Agreements 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. On March 26, 2012 the Ontario Superior Court dismissed GMCL's appeal of the class certification order. Accordingly the case will proceed as a class action. The current prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable, we have no accrual relating to this litigation. 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 April 6, 2010 the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (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 contractually required to make this contribution. The reasonably possible loss as defined by ASC 450 “Contingencies” 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 (Bankruptcy Court) asserting that the UAW's claim is barred by the Bankruptcy Court approved 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement and by other orders issued by the 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 relevant agreement and therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion abstaining from hearing the case, which will accordingly be litigated in the 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 were 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 Bankruptcy Court, exceed $35.0 billion. Following the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, any Adjustment Shares we are obligated to issue will be issuable to the GUC Trust. The maximum number of Adjustment Shares issuable is 30 million shares (subject to adjustment to take into account stock dividends, stock splits and other transactions). The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued is calculated based on the extent to which estimated general unsecured claims exceed $35.0 billion with the maximum number of Adjustment Shares issued if estimated general unsecured claims total $42.0 billion or more. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 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 $215 million and $209 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Through March 31, 2012 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.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities [Text Block]

Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011: (1) Total assets recognized for these consolidated VIEs were $493 million and $463 million, which were comprised of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivables, net, Inventories and Property, net; and (2) Total liabilities were $309 million and $298 million, which were comprised of Accounts payable (principally trade) and Accrued and other liabilities. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 Total net sales and revenue recorded for these consolidated VIEs were $236 million and $110 million and Net income (loss) was $(5) million and $3 million.

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 $116 million and $171 million, current derivative liabilities of $26 million and $44 million and long-term debt of $6 million and $7 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to a minority shareholder in GM Korea to repurchase GM Korea's preferred shares according to the redemption schedule should GM Korea not repurchase the shares. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. GM Financial retains a residual interest in these entities and is not required to provide any additional financial support to its sponsored credit facilities and securitization SPEs. The SPEs are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk and are consolidated because GM Financial has the power over those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the 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.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements and other automotive related entities to which we provided financial support including Ally Financial and HKJV.We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or may require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a supplier's liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns.

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 22 (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
GM Financial finance receivables, net	$	9,476	$	9,760	$	9,162	$	9,386

GM Financial determined the fair value of finance receivables using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model. The Level 3 inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the finance receivable portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows are calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in our cash flow model.

GM Financial purchases finance contracts 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent finance receivables based on contractual amounts due of $350 million and $439 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. At March 31, 2012 as a result of improvements in credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which resulted in an increase of expected cash flows of $167 million, GM Financial transferred the excess non-accretable discount to accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

The following table summarizes accretable yield (dollars in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Credit Quality

Credit bureau scores, generally referred to as FICO scores, are determined during GM Financial's automotive loan origination process. The following table summarizes the credit risk profile of finance receivables by FICO score band, determined at origination (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
FICO score less than 540	$	2,371	$	2,133
FICO score 540 to 599	4,356		4,167
FICO score 600 to 659	2,598		2,624
FICO score greater than 660	676		756
Balance at end of period(a)	$	10,001	$	9,680

__________

(a) Balance at end of period is the sum of pre-acquisition finance receivables - outstanding balance and post-acquisition finance receivables, net of fees.

Delinquency

The following summarizes the contractual amount of finance receivables, which is not materially different than the recorded investment, more than 30 days delinquent, but not yet in repossession, and in repossession, but not yet charged off (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2012				March 31, 2011
	Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due		Amount		Percent of Contractual Amount Due
Delinquent contracts
31-to-60 days	$	318	3.2	%	$	333	3.8	%
Greater-than-60 days	125		1.2	%	135		1.5	%
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent	443		4.4	%	468		5.3	%
In repossession	25		0.3	%	26		0.3	%
Total finance receivables more than 30 days delinquent and in repossession	$	468	4.7	%	$	494	5.6	%

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Delinquencies may vary from period to period based upon the average age of the portfolio, seasonality within the calendar year and economic factors.

Marketable Securities [Abstract]

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

We measure the 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. Our pricing service 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. We conduct an annual review of valuations provided by our pricing service, which 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 spreads. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service are a reliable representation of exit prices.

We maintained trading securities of $84 million as compensating balances to support letters of credit of $70 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. We have access to these securities in the normal course of business; however, the letters of credit may be withdrawn if the minimum collateral balance is not maintained.

Sales proceeds from investments in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale and sold prior to maturity were $427 million and $117 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In accordance with our risk management policy, we enter into a variety of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. At March 31, 2012 our derivative instruments consisted primarily of forward contracts and options. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 no outstanding derivative contracts were designated in hedging relationships. We manage our counterparty credit risk by monitoring the credit ratings of our counterparties and by requiring them to post collateral in certain circumstances. Certain of our agreements with counterparties require that we provide cash collateral. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 no collateral was posted related to derivative instruments, and we did not have any agreements with counterparties to derivative instruments containing covenants requiring the maintenance of certain credit rating levels or credit risk ratios that would require the posting of collateral in the event that such covenants are violated.

We measure the fair value our portfolio of foreign currency, commodity and embedded derivatives using industry accepted models. The significant Level 2 inputs used in the valuation of our derivatives include spot rates, forward rates, volatility and interest rates. These inputs are obtained from pricing services, broker quotes and other sources.

We entered into a power plant lease agreement which included the purchase of natural gas at a fixed price adjusted for movements in heavy fuel oil and coal indices as published by a German governmental agency. The natural gas agreement was determined to be a derivative for accounting purposes and is valued as a forward contract. This commodity derivative valuation uses Level 3 inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivative are coal and heavy fuel oil forward rates and supplier credit spreads. Significant increases (decreases) in the coal and heavy fuel oil index and supplier credit spread would result in significant decreases (increases) to the fair value measurement.

We are party to 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. This embedded derivative is valued using an industry accepted model which is considered a Level 3 input.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our embedded foreign currency derivative is the estimate of the Turkish central bank's Euro (EUR)/Turkish Lira (TRY) forward exchange rate and monthly volume commitment and vehicle mix. Significant decreases (increases) to EUR/TRY forward exchange rate and monthly volume commitment and vehicle mix would result in significant decreases (increases) to the fair value measurement.

The valuations are performed, reviewed and approved by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. For certain derivatives we compare our own valuations with valuations prepared by independent outside parties.

The following table summarizes the significant quantitative unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the derivatives at March 31, 2012:

	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Metric
Commodity	Discounted cash flow	Coal forward price in EUR(a)	€106.22
		Heavy fuel oil forward price in EUR(a)	€512.78
		Supplier nonperformance risk (average)	3.68%
Embedded	Discounted cash flow	Average EUR/TRY forward exchange rate(b)	€2.86
		Volume commitment and vehicle mix in EUR(c)	€1.0 billion

__________

(a) Forward prices are estimated to be equivalents of the spot price as published by a governmental agency.

(b) Calculated by adjusting market forward rates for the spread between current market and Turkish central bank spot prices.

(c) Volume commitment is spread evenly on a monthly basis and vehicle mix is pursuant to management forecasts.

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 and manages this exposure with interest rate swaps and caps. GM Financial had interest rate swaps and caps in asset positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. GM Financial had interest rate swaps and caps in liability positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value of these derivative financial instruments is insignificant.

Impairment of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies with guaranteed repurchase obligations is determined to exist if the expected cash flows are lower than the carrying amount of the vehicle. We have multiple, distinct portfolios of vehicles leased to rental car companies and may have multiple impairments within a period. Expected cash flows include all estimated net revenue and costs associated with the sale to daily rental car companies through disposal at auction. The fair value measurements are determined, reviewed and approved on a monthly basis by personnel with appropriate knowledge of transactions with daily rental car companies and auction transactions.

Equity In Net Assets Of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in Net Assets of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

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 exercise significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs.

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

We received dividends from nonconsolidated affiliates of $21 million and $0 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we had undistributed earnings including dividends declared but not received of $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion related to our nonconsolidated affiliates.

Investment in China JVs

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

	March 31, 2012		March 31, 2011

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

SGM is a joint venture established 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%).

SGMS is a joint venture established in November 2011 by SAIC (51%) and us (49%) to engage in the sales of the imported brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac and the sales of automobiles manufactured by SGM.

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.

Investment in HKJV

In March 2011 the fair value of our investment in SAIC GM Investment Limited (HKJV) was determined to be less than its carrying amount. HKJV is our joint venture which controls our automotive operations in India. The loss in value was determined 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.

We have provided SAIC Motor Hong Kong Investment Limited (SAIC-HK), a 50% equity holder in HKJV, an option to not participate in future capital injections, which would otherwise be required under certain circumstances. Upon election to exercise the option SAIC-HK would be relieved from providing up to $173 million in future capital injections. The related option liability was $88 million and total unrealized losses were $64 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

A Monte Carlo option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the option liability which is a Level 3 measure. The key inputs into the option pricing model were the expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term, fair value of HKJV and expected amounts of the future funding requirement. The fair value estimate of the option is most sensitive to the fair value of HKJV, which is unobservable. A discounted cash flow methodology was utilized to estimate the fair value of HKJV. A decrease in the fair value of HKJV will result in an increase in the fair value of the option liability.

Nonconsolidated affiliates are involved in various aspects of the development, production and marketing of cars, trucks and automobile parts. We purchase component parts and vehicles from certain nonconsolidated affiliates for resale to dealers.

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 "When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts" (ASU 2010-28) on January 1, 2011 and performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis for our GME reporting unit which had a negative carrying amount resulting in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to Retained earnings. GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2012 and 2011 we recorded further Goodwill impairment charges in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we determined that the carrying amount for our GM Korea reporting unit continued to exceed its fair value and that goodwill impairment existed. We recorded a Goodwill impairment charge in the three months ended March 31, 2012 within our GMIO segment.

_________

(a) Impairment charges of $1.5 billion were recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings upon the adoption of ASU 2010-28.

The Goodwill impairment charges recorded as a result of the initial adoption of ASU 2010-28 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the event-driven goodwill impairment tests in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 represent the net decreases in implied goodwill resulting primarily from decreases 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, as discussed in Note 32 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2011 Form 10-K. The net decreases resulted primarily from a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009. At certain of the testing dates the net decrease also resulted from an increase in the high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit obligations and a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk. In addition, for the purpose of deriving an implied goodwill balance, deterioration in the business outlook for GME resulted in a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes and an increase in the fair value of estimated employee benefit obligations.

When performing our goodwill impairment testing, the fair values of our reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. We make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method. Assumptions used in our discounted cash flow analysis that have the most significant effect on the estimated fair values of our reporting units include:

•Our estimated weighted-average cost of capital (WACC);

•Our estimated long-term growth rates; and

•Our estimate of industry sales and our market share.

The valuation methodologies utilized to perform our goodwill impairment testing were consistent with those used in our application of fresh-start reporting on July 10, 2009 and in subsequent annual or event-driven goodwill impairment tests and utilized Level 3 measures. Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly we calculated the implied goodwill for GME and GM Korea in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, "Business Combinations." The valuations used in our goodwill impairment testing are reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise and, when deemed necessary, third party specialists are utilized to assist in deriving certain unobservable inputs and/or calculating certain fair value estimates.

The following table summarizes the Goodwill balances and key assumptions, which are unobservable, utilized for each of our reporting units that required a Step 2 analysis (dollars and vehicles in millions):

							Industry Sales(a)(b)		Market Share(a)(b)
	Goodwill(c)		WACC		Long-Term Growth Rates		2011/2012	2015/2016	2011/2012		2015/2016
GME - At January 1, 2011	$	3,053	17.0	%	0.5	%	18.4	22.0	6.6	%	7.4	%
GME - At March 31, 2011	$	1,661	16.5	%	0.5	%	18.4	22.0	6.6	%	7.4	%
GME - At March 31, 2012	$	594	17.5	%	0.5	%	19.1	21.9	6.2	%	6.3	%
GM Korea - At March 31, 2012	$	564	14.8	%	3.0	%	81.0	97.1	1.4	%	1.1	%

_________

(a) Industry sales and market share for GM Korea are based on global industry volumes because GM Korea exports vehicles globally.

(b) GME amounts at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011 are 2011 through 2015 and GME amounts at March 31, 2012 are 2012 through 2016. GM Korea amounts are 2012 through 2015.

(c) Goodwill balance is before any adjustments for Goodwill impairment charges.

The WACCs considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums and tax rates; the terminal values were determined using a growth model that applied a reporting unit's long-term growth rate to its projected cash flows beyond the forecast period; and industry sales and a market share for each reporting unit included annual estimates through the forecast period. In addition, minimum operating cash needs that incorporate specific business, economic and regulatory factors giving rise to varying cash needs were estimated.

During our Step 2 analyses we determined the fair values of these reporting units had not increased sufficiently to give rise to implied goodwill other than the goodwill arising from 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. On our testing dates our Step 2 analyses indicated GME's and GM Korea's implied goodwill was less than their recorded goodwill; therefore, Goodwill was adjusted at the various dates indicated in the table above.

Future goodwill impairments that may be material could be recognized 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 tax jurisdictions (which could occur in the near future if additional positive evidence becomes available).

In these circumstances future goodwill impairments would largely be affected by decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that have occurred subsequent to our application of fresh-start reporting. The decrease may occur upon: (1) an improvement in our credit rating; (2) 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; and/or (3) a change in the fair values of our estimated employee benefit obligations. A decrease would also occur upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Any decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that result in goodwill impairment would have a negative effect on our earnings that could be material.

Our fair value estimates for event-driven impairment tests assume the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in our forecasted cash flows and there can be no assurance that we will realize that value. The estimates and assumptions used are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved.

Fair Value of Ally Financial Common Stock

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 we held a 9.9% common equity ownership in Ally Financial. Our entire equity ownership is held indirectly through an independent trust which has the sole authority to vote the shares and is required to dispose of all Ally Financial common stock by December 24, 2013.

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 analyses included Ally Financial's March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 financial statements, financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, and the effects of certain Ally Financial shareholder rights described below. The measurement of Ally Financial common stock is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

At December 31, 2011 we determined the carrying amount of our investment in Ally Financial common stock exceeded our estimate of its fair value. Our estimate of fair value resulted from broader macroeconomic uncertainties and volatility in the financial markets including the eurozone debt crisis, continued heightened risk of recession and concerns about Ally Financial's mortgage related operations. Our estimate considered the potential effect of contractual provisions held by the United States Department of the Treasury who may receive incremental ownership interest in Ally Financial depending upon Ally Financial's equity value at the time of a successful public offering or private sale. These contractual provisions could result in significant dilution of our ownership interest. Based on an evaluation of the duration and severity of this decline in fair value, we concluded the impairment was other than temporary. As a result we recorded an impairment charge of $555 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net to reduce our investment to its estimated fair value of $403 million.

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

Carrying amount	$	403	$	403

Restructuring And Other Initiatives

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 of $357 million and $362 million at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

Our 2011 UAW labor agreement included cash severance incentive programs which were completed at March 31, 2012 for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees. A total of 1,400 skilled trade U.S. hourly employees participated in these programs at a total cost of $99 million and was recorded upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties. Substantially all of the program cost was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012.

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other primarily related to previously announced separation and early retirement programs in Germany. Through March 31, 2012, the separation programs had a total cost of $313 million and affected a total of 1,900 employees. We expect to incur an additional $0.1 billion to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 350 employees. To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is recorded at the communication date.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the reserves primarily related to skilled trades U.S. hourly employees who participated in a special attrition program.

Acquisition And Disposals Of Businesses

Acquisition of Businesses

Acquisition of GMAC South America LLC

In March 2012 we acquired from Ally Financial for cash of $29 million100% of the outstanding equity interests of GMAC South America LLC whose only asset is GMAC de Venezuela CA (GMAC Venezuela) comprising the business and operations of Ally Financial in Venezuela. This acquisition provides us with a captive finance offering in Venezuela which we believe is important in maintaining market position and will provide continued sources of financing for our Venezuela dealers and customers.

We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 1, 2012, the date we obtained control, and have included GMAC Venezuela's results of operations and cash flows from that date forward. The following table summarizes the amounts recorded in connection with the acquisition of GMAC Venezuela, which are included in our GMSA segment (dollars in millions):

	March 1, 2012
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash	$	79
Other assets	11
Liabilities	(11		)
Bargain purchase gain	(50		)
Consideration paid	$	29

We determined the excess of net assets acquired over consideration paid was attributable to the measurement differences between the BsF denominated assets and liabilities valued using the official foreign exchange rate, as required by U.S. GAAP, and the enterprise value which has been discounted to reflect the uncertainty surrounding our ability to convert the BsF to U.S. Dollars and the risks of operating in a politically unstable country. The measurement differences do not qualify to be recorded in the application of the acquisition method of accounting, and we recorded the excess of net assets acquired over the consideration paid as a bargain purchase gain. The bargain purchase gain was recorded in Interest and other non-operating income, net. We did not provide pro forma financial information because we do not believe the information is material.

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

In March 2011 we completed the acquisition of an additional 6.9% interest in GM Korea Company (GM Korea) for cash of $100 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retain the controlling financial interest in GM Korea. This transaction 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. We now own 77.0% of the outstanding shares of GM Korea.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Earnings Per Share

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding.

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

(a) Includes earned but undeclared dividends of $26 million on our Series A Preferred Stock and $20 million on our Series B Preferred Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

(b) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and earnings of $96 million that have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

(c) Includes cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million and earnings of $90 million that have been allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock holders in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and cumulative dividends on preferred stock of $215 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

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. 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. 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.

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.

MLC distributed all of its 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors and the GUC Trust. 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 March 31, 2012, 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 116 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of 18 million unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives. 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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Because the applicable market value of our common stock was within the price range of $33.00 to $39.60 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, we were not required to use the two-class method for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. The dilutive effect of these securities was determined by assuming conversion of the securities at the beginning of the period resulting in an increase to the weighted-average common shares outstanding and an increase to Net income attributable to common stockholders for accumulated dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock.

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, 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 our common stock. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining warrants resulted in 162 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of 15 million unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives. 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. These shares were not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of debt (dollars in millions):

	March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011
Carrying amount	$	5,385	$	5,295
Fair value(a)	$	5,865	$	5,467

__________

(a) The fair value of debt included $4.7 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $1.2 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2012. The fair value of debt included $4.4 billion measured utilizing Level 2 inputs and $1.1 billion measured utilizing Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2011

The Level 2 fair value measurements utilize a discounted cash flow model. The valuation is reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark forward yield curves plus a spread that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk for secured or unsecured obligations. We estimate our nonperformance risk using our corporate credit rating, the rating on our secured revolver, yields on traded bonds of companies with comparable credit ratings and risk profiles. We acquire the benchmark yield curves and nonperformance risk spread from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry. In certain circumstances, we adjust the valuation of debt for additional nonperformance risk or potential prepayment probability scenarios. We may use a probability weighting of prepayment scenarios when the stated rate exceeds market rates and the instrument contains prepayment features. The prepayment scenarios are adjusted to reflect the views of market participants. The fair value measurements subject to additional adjustments for nonperformance risk or prepayment have been categorized within Level 3.

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we prepaid and retired a debt obligation of $39 million with a carrying value of $21 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $18 million which primarily represented the unamortized debt discount.

__________

(a) Senior notes and convertible senior notes are included in GM Financial Long-term debt.

The carrying value of the syndicated warehouse facility and lease funding facilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value because these facilities have variable rates of interest and maturities of approximately one year. The fair value of bank funding facility and senior notes and convertible senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using a current risk-adjusted rate.

GM Financial uses observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value of the medium-term note facility. Observable inputs are used regarding an advance rate on the receivables to generate an estimated debt amount as well as the interest rate used to calculate the series of estimated principal payments. Those series of interest payments are discounted using an unobservable interest rate based on the most recent securitization in order to estimate fair value which would approximate the replacement value.

Securitization notes payable includes the 2012-PP1 Trust, for which GM Financial uses observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable input), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.
