Richard Wagoner, Jr. --------------------------------- (G. Richard Wagoner, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors) 2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Plan Administrator of The General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of The General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2006 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/Deloitte & Touche LLP - ------------------------ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Detroit, Michigan June 28, 2007 3 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES STATEMENTS OF ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 2006 2005 ------- ------- (dollars in thousands) ASSETS: Investment in General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust (Note D): Investments, at fair value $8,694,025 $8,266,774 Loans 394,893 428,452 Employee contribution receivable 4,526 6,108 --------- --------- ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS AT FAIR VALUE 9,093,444 8,701,334 --------- --------- Adjustment from fair value to contract value for interest in common collective trusts relating to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (19,441) (11,399) --------- --------- ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS $9,074,003 $8,689,935 ========= ========= Reference should be made to the Notes to Financial Statements. 4 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands) ADDITIONS: Net investment gain from General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust (Note D) $1,092,107 Employee contributions 405,201 --------- Total additions 1,497,308 DEDUCTIONS- Distributions to participants (1,150,885) TRANSFERS IN (Note E) 37,645 --------- NET INCREASE 384,068 ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS: Beginning of year 8,689,935 --------- End of year $9,074,003 ========= Reference should be made to the Notes to Financial Statements. 5 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005 AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 A. THE PLAN Following is a brief description of the Plan that is provided for general informational purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document and prospectus for a complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL - General Motors Corporation (the "Corporation" or "GM") and certain unions have established The General Motors Personal Savings Plan ("PSP") for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan. Generally, eligible hourly-rate full-time and part-time employees may participate and accumulate savings under the Plan on the first day of the first pay period following the attainment of seniority, as defined in the Plan. Except for purposes of investment of Plan assets, until June 30, 2006 the Investment Funds Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors acted as the Plan fiduciary and, along with various officers, employees, and committees, with authority delegated from the Plan fiduciary, controlled and managed the non-investment operation and administration of the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (the "Trustee"), as amended (ERISA). Effective June 30, 2006, State Street Bank and Trust Company began serving as the independent fiduciary and investment manager of the Plan for the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. General Motors Investment Management Corporation ("GMIMCO") is the named fiduciary of the Plan for purposes of investment of Plan assets, with the exception (commencing on June 30, 2006) of the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. This Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA. PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS - An eligible participant employed by the Corporation ("an Eligible Employee") may elect to contribute to the Plan as follows in accordance with provisions and within the applicable Federal limits. o On a pre-tax basis ("Deferred Savings"), an amount of Eligible Earnings which is the lesser of (1) $15,000 for 2006 or (2) up to 60% for 2006 of the Employee's Eligible Earnings for a calendar year. o On an after-tax basis ("After-Tax Savings"), up to 60% for 2006 of an Employee's Eligible Earnings as defined in the Plan. o Effective July 1, 2006, eligible Employees have the opportunity to participate in the Roth Savings feature on an after-tax basis. Participants may contribute up to 60% of an Employee's Eligible Earnings as defined in the Plan. Roth Savings contributions are combined with Deferred Savings for purposes of applying the $15,000 contribution limit for 2006. o In lieu of receiving a distribution from The General Motors Profit Sharing Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States, an Employee may elect to have the Corporation contribute, as Deferred Savings to the extent permissible under tax law, up to 100%, in 1% increments, of any such amount, which vests immediately. o In lieu of receiving a Suggestion Award Payment from the Corporation, an Employee may elect to have the Corporation contribute up to 100%, in 1% increments, of their Suggestion Award Payment as Deferred Savings and/or After-Tax Savings to the extent permissible under tax law. o An Employee age 50 or older, or who will attain age 50 by the end of the calendar year, is eligible to make catch-up contributions to his or her account. A catch-up contribution may be made on a "pre-tax" or "Roth after-tax basis up to the annual limit ($5,000 in 2006) set forth by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and only after a tax law limit has been reached, such as the 401(k) annual contribution limit ($15,000 in 2006). 6 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued An Employee's contributions will be invested at the Employee's direction, in 10% increments, in any of the Plan's investment options with the exception of those funds which are restricted from new contributions as described in the Plan. As such, Participants are permitted to self-direct 100% of Employee contributions in any of the Plan's investment options. An Employee also may elect to combine the contribution methods disclosed above (pre-tax, after-tax and Roth after-tax contributions), provided that the sum of these contributions does not total more than 60% of Eligible Earnings for any calendar year. The sum of the above described methods of contributions are considered "employee contributions". Employee contributions may only exceed 60% of Eligible Earnings by an amount equal to any combination of (1) the payout under the Profit Sharing Plan, (2) the Suggestion Award Payment, and (3) the catch-up contributions. EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS - There are no employer contributions, except for certain Employees hired on or after January 1, 1994, the Corporation may contribute an amount equal to a certain percent (based on local units competitive hire agreements) of eligible weekly earnings to such participants' accounts in the form of the Corporation's $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock. Such participants must be in the Plan for at least three years to be vested in assets acquired with employer contributions, at which time the participant may transfer such assets to other available investment options. There were no employer contributions made in the last three years, accordingly, all assets are considered participant-directed. Forfeitures, if any, are used to offset future employer contributions. There were no employer contributions made in 2006. VESTING - Assets derived from employee contributions vest immediately upon allocation to the employee's account. FUND EXCHANGES - Subject to the excessive trading policy, participants may generally exchange funds between investment options on any business day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open ("Business Day"). The excessive trading policy includes a monitoring process limit of one roundtrip transaction per fund within any rolling 90-day period, subject to an overall limit of four round-trip transactions across all funds in the Plan over a rolling 12 month period. A roundtrip transaction occurs when an exchange into and out of a fund option within a 30 day period is executed. Systematic contributions and withdrawals (i.e. regular payroll deductions, loan payments, hardship withdrawals) as permitted under the Plan and do not count as exchanges under the excessive trading policy. REDEMPTION FEES - From time to time, certain funds within the Plan may impose a redemption fee if an investment is held for less than a stated period. If applicable, these fees are disclosed in the individual mutual fund prospectuses as well as the Plan prospectus which contains additional information about each fund. The redemption fees are paid to the respective funds and help protect the funds' shareholders by discouraging frequent trading in response to or in anticipation of short-term market fluctuations. PARTICIPANT LOANS - Participants may borrow once per year from their pre-tax Deferred Savings, After-Tax Roth Savings and after-tax Savings. The amount and terms of the loans are limited under the Plan. The loan interest rate will be established once each quarter at a rate equal to the prime lending rate as of the previous quarter-end published by the Wall Street Journal and will apply to all new loans issued during the quarter. Loan repayments are generally made through after-tax payroll deductions and are invested in the same investment options that the participant originally selected for their savings contributions. Interest paid on a Plan loan is credited back to the borrowing employee's account in the Plan. Partial and total prepayment of loans is permitted at any time, without penalty. Loans not repaid within the loan term are deemed to be distributions from participant's accounts. The outstanding balances of participant loans amount to approximately $395 million and $428 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 7 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS - A participant may withdraw Deferred Savings in their account at any time after attaining age 59-1/2. Prior to age 59-1/2, After-Tax Savings may be withdrawn at any time however, Deferred Savings may only be withdrawn because of severance from employment, death, total and permanent disability, or financial hardship. Prior to receiving a withdrawal for financial hardship, a participant previously must have taken all available asset distributions, withdrawals, and loans under all applicable plans maintained by the Corporation. The amount that may be withdrawn for a financial hardship is limited as defined in the Plan. The reason for a hardship distribution must conform to conditions required by the IRS. Effective January 1, 2006, a participant who receives a hardship withdrawal shall have his or her contributions to the Plan suspended for 6 months following the withdrawal. Prior to January 1, 2006, the suspension period was 12 months from the date of receiving a hardship withdrawal. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Upon severance from employment, a participant may elect to leave his or her assets in the plan or take a distribution in accordance with Plan provisions equal to the value of the participant's vested assets in his or her account. PLAN ADMINISTRATION - The Corporation pays certain costs of Plan administration. INVESTMENT OPTIONS - An Employee's contributions will be invested at the Employee's direction, in 1% increments, in any of the investment options available in the Plan, of which there are approximately 70. GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund - Under this investment option, the Trustee invests contributions primarily in General Motors Corporation's common stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. The number of units credited to each participant's account within an applicable plan will be determined by the amount of the participant's contributions and the purchase price of a unit in the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. The value of each participant's account is determined each business day by the number of units to the participant's credit, multiplied by the current unit value. The return on a participant's investment is based on the value of units, which, in turn, is determined by the market price of General Motors Corporation's common stock, the amount of any dividends paid thereon, and by interest earned on short-term investments held by the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. Each participant directs the Trustee how to vote common stock shares allocated to his or her account. To the extent consistent with applicable law, the Trustee will not exercise voting rights with respect to those shares for which direction has not been received by the required deadline. B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - The Plan and master trust utilize various investment instruments including U.S. government securities, corporate debt instruments, and corporate stocks. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes, could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE - The financial statements reflect the retroactive adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of the Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts Held by Certain Investments Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the "FSP"). Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through the General Motors Savings Plan Master Trust (the "Master Trust"). The statement of assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment in the Master Trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the Master Trust from fair value to contract value relating to investment contracts. The statement of changes in assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. The statement of changes in assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis and was not affected by the adoption of the FSP. The adoption of the FSP did not impact the amount of assets available for benefits at December 31, 2005. INVESTMENT VALUATION - The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, except for benefit-responsive investment contracts, which are stated at contract value. Fair values are calculated by reference to published market quotations, where available; where not available for certain common/collective trusts, various bases, including cost, are used in determining estimates of fair values. Contract value represents contributions and withdrawals made under the investment contracts plus credited earnings, which are net of expenses charged to synthetic contracts. Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Investment income is recognized as earned based on the terms of the investments and the periods during which the investments are owned by the Plan. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Distributions to participants are recorded upon distribution. C. INVESTMENTS All of the investments in the Plan are held in the Master Trust as more fully described in Note D. All investments in the Master Trust are participant-directed. D. THE MASTER TRUST The Corporation established the Master Trust pursuant to a trust agreement between the Corporation and State Street Bank and Trust, as trustee of the Master Trust, in order to permit the commingling of trust assets of multiple employee benefit plans for investment and administrative purposes. The assets of the Master Trust are held by State Street Bank and Trust. Employee benefit plans participating in the Master Trust as of December 31, 2006 consist of the following: o General Motors Savings-Stock Purchase Program for Salaried Employees in the United States o General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States o General Motors Income Security Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees 9 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued Each participating employee benefit plan has an undivided interest in the net assets and changes therein of each of the Master Trust investment options in which the respective plan participates. The net investment income of the commingled Master Trust investment funds is allocated by the Trustee to each participating plan based on that plan's interest in each commingled Master Trust investment fund, as compared with the total interest of all the participating plans, in each commingled Master Trust investment fund at the beginning of the month. For all other investment options, the net investment income is separately earned by the respective employee benefit plan, and is thus recorded separately in the accounting records of the respective plan. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plan had approximately a 43% interest in the Master Trust. The net assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): ASSETS: 2006 2005 ------- ------- Investments at fair value: General Motors Corporation $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock $1,915,259 $1,408,635 Other common stock 383,045 374,283 ---------- ---------- Total common stock 2,298,304 1,782,918 Promark Income Fund 6,636,266 6,755,020 Promark Large Cap Index 1,652,398 1,764,993 Other common collective trusts 1,813,938 1,581,589 ---------- ---------- Total common collective trusts 10,102,602 10,101,602 Mutual funds 8,240,383 7,715,576 Loan funds 605,630 661,909 ---------- ---------- Total investments at fair value 21,246,919 20,262,005 Receivables - accrued investment income 4 95 ---------- ---------- Total assets $21,246,923 $20,262,100 ========== ========== LIABILITIES- Due to broker for securities purchased 2,855 2,203 ---------- ---------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS AT FAIR VALUE $21,244,068 $20,259,897 ========== ========== Adjustment from fair value to contract value for interest in common collective trusts relating to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (38,521) (22,924) ---------- ---------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS $21,205,547 $20,236,973 ========== ========== 10 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued The net investment gain of the Master Trust for the year ended December 31, 2006 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): Interest 34,352 Net appreciation in fair value of investments: General Motors Corporation $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock 821,791 Other common stock 162,068 Mutual funds 1,031,320 Common collective trusts: Promark Income Fund 354,795 Promark Large Cap Index 244,470 Other common collective trusts 281,061 --------- Total net appreciation 2,895,505 --------- Total net investment gain $2,929,857 ========= E. TRANSFERS On April 12, 1999, the GM Board of Directors approved the complete separation of Delphi by means of a spin-off, which was completed on May 28, 1999. Prior to the spin-off, GM established the Delphi Personal Savings Plan (the "Delphi Plan"), modeled after the GM Plan. On May 28, 1999, for those employees who elected to do so, assets representing Delphi participants' holdings in the GM Plan were transferred and reinvested under the corresponding investment options in the Delphi Plan. As a result of the separation, the Delphi Plan was separated from the GM Plan, and is now administered by Delphi as a separate plan. On a very limited basis, participants may elect to transfer their holdings between the Delphi and GM Plans. F. TERMINATION Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Corporation has the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Such Plan termination, if any, would not affect a participant's interest in assets already in the Plan. G. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS By letter dated August 15, 2005, the IRS has determined and informed the Corporation that the Plan is a tax-qualified employee benefit plan, meeting the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) and 4975(e) (7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Trust established there under was determined to be exempt from United States Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan's fiduciary and tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and therefore no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. H. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Plan and Master Trust enter into certain related party transactions. These generally include investments with trustees, fund managers, the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Such transactions are within the scope of the investment guidelines. 11 THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Concluded I.
