ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

      Members  of United  Auto  Workers  Locals  659 and 651 in Flint,  Michigan
ceased  production  at two  component  plants  on  June  5 and  June  11,  1998,
respectively.  While GM is seeking to resolve the issues  which have created the
work stoppages,  the timing of such resolution is uncertain.  To the extent that
work stoppages continue to disrupt the production and shipment of vehicles,  the
resulting  deferral or decline in revenues will have a continuing impact on GM's
results of  operations.  Further,  the  corporation  is currently  reviewing all
opportunities  to reduce cash  consumption  and is  carefully  reviewing  future
spending for products and facilities.

      GM  estimates  that the work  stoppages  in  Flint  have had an  aggregate
unfavorable  after-tax impact of $1,180 million, or $1.79 per share of GM $1-2/3
par value common stock, during the 1998 second quarter that resulted from a loss
of 227,000 units of production. The above estimated unfavorable after-tax impact
represents the combined effects for GM North American  Operations  (aggregate to
date - $890  million) and Delphi  Automotive  Systems  (aggregate  to date - 
$290 million) and does not take into account the effect of possible  recoveries
that may occur through  production  increases  that GM is likely to pursue at 
various facilities in future periods.
