Saturn Personal Choices Savings Plan for Non-Represented Members -------------------------------- (Name of plan) Date June 23, 1998 By: ------------- /s/John F. Smith, Jr. ------------------------------ (John F. Smith, Jr., Chairman President's Council) - 2 - INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT - ---------------------------- Saturn Personal Choices Savings Plan for Non-Represented Members: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Saturn Personal Choices Savings Plan for Non-Represented Members (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 generally accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997 and (2) reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1997 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 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. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are 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 Nashville, Tennessee June 12, 1998 - 3 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 1997 1996 ASSETS: ----------- ----------- Investments, at fair value: Value of interest in General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust $54,109,031 $40,974,143 Fixed Income Fund 1,056,902 2,583,252 Mutual Funds 24,983,305 13,331,005 Loans to participants 2,829,375 2,055,338 Investments, at contract value: Investment contracts stated at cost plus accumulated interest 13,426,191 7,722,513 ---------- ---------- Total assets 96,404,804 66,666,251 LIABILITIES: Due to brokers for securities purchased, not settled 43,629 52,085 ---------- ---------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS $96,361,175 $66,614,166 ========== ========== Reference should be made to the Notes to Financial Statements. - 4 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996 1997 1996 ----------- ----------- ADDITIONS: Investment income: Net appreciation in fair value of investments $1,693,866 $193,755 Dividends 1,267,343 883,862 Interest 1,857,976 933,724 Net investment income from the General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust 8,224,906 2,418,034 ---------- ---------- Total investment income 13,044,091 4,429,375 Interest on loans 185,033 124,926 Contributions: Employer 3,868,046 2,835,614 Participants 14,820,839 11,100,551 ---------- ---------- Total contributions 18,688,885 13,936,165 ---------- ---------- Total additions 31,918,009 18,490,466 DEDUCTIONS: Benefits paid to participants 2,154,021 1,139,224 Forfeitures 16,979 3,380 ---------- ---------- Total deductions 2,171,000 1,142,604 NET INCREASE 29,747,009 17,347,862 NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS: Beginning of year 66,614,166 49,266,304 ---------- ---------- End of year $96,361,175 $66,614,166 ========== ========== Reference should be made to the Notes to Financial Statements. - 5 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A. PLAN DESCRIPTION Saturn Corporation ("Saturn"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation ("Corporation"), established a defined contribution plan, the Saturn Personal Choices Savings Plan for Non-Represented Members ("the Plan"). General Motors Investment Management Corporation acts as the Plan fiduciary and, along with various officers, employees and committees with authority delegated by the Plan fiduciary, controls and manages the operation and administration of the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Assets of the Plan are held by various investment managers under the direction of a Trustee. The Plan provides eligible non-represented members with tax-deferred and after-tax voluntary savings opportunities. Participant savings are matched, in part, by Saturn contributions credited to the Plan. The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Refer to the "Complete Text" of the Plan for a comprehensive description. Participation Eligibility in the Plan is restricted to regular employees of Saturn compensated fully or partly by salary who are not represented by the United Auto Workers ("UAW") or other labor organizations. Employees who are classified as contract or leased employees are not eligible to participate. Eligible employees may participate in the Plan and accumulate savings as of the first day of employment. Employees on approved disability leaves of absence or certain special leaves of absence, remain eligible to accumulate savings for a period of one year while on such leaves. Participant Contributions Participants may elect to contribute to the Plan in several ways: o Participants may contribute up to 20% of Eligible Monthly Salary on an after-tax basis whereby the contributions are included in the participant's taxable income in the period of contribution ("After-Tax Savings"). o Participants may contribute up to 20% of Eligible Monthly Salary, or $9,500 for the years ended 1997 and 1996, whichever is less, on a tax-deferred basis whereby the contributions are excluded from the participant's taxable income until such amounts are distributed to the participant from the Plan ("Tax-Deferred Savings"). o Participants may elect to combine the above contribution methods, provided the contribution limitations noted above are not exceeded. o Participants who have transferred to Saturn from another unit of the Corporation are allowed to transfer assets into the Plan from the General Motors Corporation Savings-Stock Purchase Program Trust. There were no transfers in process relating thereto at December 31, 1997 or 1996. o Newly hired Employees are permitted to make a rollover contribution equal to the taxable portion of cash proceeds received from a previous employer's qualified savings plan ("Rollover Contributions"). Saturn Matching Contributions Saturn currently matches Participant Savings up to 60% of Basic Savings (70% effective January 1, 1998). For the plan year 1996, the Saturn match was 50%. A participant's "Basic Savings" are defined as savings which do not exceed 6% of Eligible Monthly Salary. - 6 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued Description of Investment Options: General Motors Corporation Common Stock $1-2/3 Par Value, EDS Common Stock Fund, Class H $0.10 Par Value, and Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund - Under these options, participant's contributions are invested in the respective classes of common stock. Each participant directs the Trustee how to vote common stock shares allocated to his or her account. The Trustee will not exercise voting rights with respect to those shares for which a direction has not been received by the required deadline. Assets invested in each of the classes of common stock ($1-2/3 par value, EDS Common Stock Fund, Class H, and Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund)are expressed in terms of units rather than shares of stock as previously expressed. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of the particular class of common stock fund. The number of units credited to each participant's account will be determined by the amount of the participant's contributions and the purchase price of a unit in the respective class of common stock fund. EDS Common Stock Fund - Effective June 7, 1996 the net assets of Electronic Data Systems ("EDS") were split-off from the net assets of General Motors. In connection with the split-off, all shares of GM Class E Common Stock were converted to shares of EDS Common Stock, and participant assets in the GM Class E Common Stock Fund were converted to the EDS Common Stock Fund. The EDS Common Stock Fund will remain as an investment option in the Plan through July 31, 2001; however, no further contributions or exchanges from any other investment options into the EDS Common Stock Fund will be permitted during that time. Dividends, if any, paid on EDS Common Stock held by the Plan will be invested in an income fund investment option prior to allocation to participant accounts. Assets held in this fund are expressed in terms of units and not shares of stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of this 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 the EDS common stock, the amount of any dividends paid thereon, and by interest earned on short-term investments held by each fund. Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund - Effective December 17, 1997, GM spun-off the defense electronics business of Hughes Electronics, a GM subsidiary (Hughes Defense), to holders of GM $1-2/3 par value and Class H common stock, which was immediately followed by the merger of Hughes Defense with Raytheon Company. In connection with the above transaction, Raytheon Class A common stock was distributed to holders of the GM $1-2/3 par value and Class H common stocks. Plan participants holding Class H Common Stock Fund units were allocated approximately .81 units of Raytheon Class A units for each unit of GM Class H held. Plan participants holding GM $1-2/3 par value Common Stock Fund units were allocated approximately .08 units of Raytheon Class A units for each unit of GM $1-2/3 held. The determination of the allocation ratio for units was based on the number of units held in the Plan. Such distribution was recorded as a stock dividend and totaled approximately $314 million of which $172 million and $142 million were distributed to $1-2/3 par value common stockholders and Class H common stockholders, respectively. - 7 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued Such distribution required the addition of the Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund as an investment option. The Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund will remain as an investment option through December 31, 2002; however, no further contributions or exchanges from any other investment options into the Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund will be permitted during that time. Dividends, if any, paid on Raytheon Class A Common Stock held by the Master Trust will be invested in an income fund investment option prior to allocation to participant's accounts. Assets held in this fund are expressed in terms of units and not shares of stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of this 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 the Raytheon Class A Common Stock, the amount of any dividends paid thereon, and by interest earned on short-term investments held by the fund. Equity Index Fund - Under this option, participant contributions are invested in a portfolio of common stocks managed by an investment manager. The investment manager maintains a portfolio which is designed to match the performance of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. This Index is a broad-based index of large companies which operate in a wide variety of industries and market sectors and which represent over two-thirds of the market capitalization of all publicly traded common stocks in the United States. Balanced Fund - Under this option, contributions are invested in equity and fixed income investments selected from opportunities available in the entire global capital market, including large and small capitalization common stocks, investment and non-investment grade bonds, convertible securities, real estate, emerging market investments, and venture capital, and may be issued by U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. From time to time, investment managers may use derivative financial instruments including forward exchange contracts and futures contracts. Derivative instruments are used to mitigate exposure to foreign exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations as well as manage the investment mix in the portfolio. The Plan's interest in funds, which utilized such financial instruments, is not considered significant to the Plan's financial statements. The above three options are included under the General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust. (See Note F.) Income Fund - Under this option, funds are invested in investment contracts issued by insurance companies. The issuing companies have agreed to provide this fund with a net fixed or floating contract interest rate that is to be earned over a specified period and payment of principal and interest upon participant initiated withdrawals and/or transfers of assets. The crediting interest rates, fund managers, and contract value of the investment contracts at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were as follows: - 8 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued Interest Interest Rate Rate as of as of Fund Investment Contracts 12/31/97 12/31/96 Manager 1997 1996 -------- -------- ------------------------ ----------- --------- 6.51% 6.51% New York Life $1,116,933 $1,048,665 6.80% - New York Life 2,122,950 - 6.54% 6.22% John Hancock Mutual Life 3,705,045 2,049,572 6.50% 6.51% John Hancock Mutual Life 3,047,046 1,405,582 7.30% 7.42% Metropolitan Life 3,195,298 2,994,071 6.23% 6.23% Principal Mutual Life 160,046 150,660 7.27% 7.27% Provident National 78,873 73,963 ---------- --------- $13,426,191 $7,722,513 ========== ========= The contract value of the investment contracts approximates their fair value at December 31, 1997 and 1996. The average yield on the investment contracts for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was 6.75% and 6.79%, respectively. In 1997 and 1996, investments were also made in short-term U.S. Government debt obligations and cash. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the fair value of such investments, considered as the Fixed Income Fund, was $1,056,902 and $2,583,252, respectively. Mutual Funds - This option is comprised of three core option mutual funds and forty-four self directed account mutual funds managed by Fidelity Investments. (See Note C.) The core option mutual funds are Fidelity Magellan, Puritan, and Contrafund. Each fund has a different objective and investment strategy. To pursue their objectives, the fund managers invest in a wide variety of investments. Complete information about each fund's objectives and investments is contained in that fund's prospectus. Vesting Employee contributions vest immediately. Saturn matching contributions and earnings thereon vest fully upon the attainment of 5 years of credited service, death, total and permanent disability or retirement. Distributions Employees may generally withdraw their Tax-Deferred Savings after they reach age 59-1/2 or prior to age 59-1/2 for Financial Hardship, as defined in the Plan's "Complete Text". After-Tax Savings, vested Saturn matched contributions and related earnings may be withdrawn any time upon a participant's request. Upon termination of employment, a final distribution of assets is made unless termination is by retirement, or the participant's account balance exceeds $3,500 ($5,000 effective January 1, 1998). In those instances, the distribution may be deferred until April 1 of the year after the participant reaches the age of 70-1/2. Participants who continue working beyond reaching the age of 70-1/2 are not required to begin distribution. There were no distributions payable to participants included in net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. Transfers Participants may transfer assets between Investment Options at any time, with certain limitations. Loans Participants may borrow once per calendar year from both their Tax-Deferred and After-Tax Savings assets. The amount and term of the loans are limited under the Plan. - 9 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued Loans bear a rate of interest equal to the prime lending rate as of the last business day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date the Participant gives appropriate direction for a loan to the Plan recordkeeper (interest rates for outstanding loans at December 31, 1997 ranged from 6% to 9%). Interest paid on the loans is credited back to the borrowing participant's account in the Plan. No earnings will accrue to the assets liquidated for the loan. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 loans to participants were $2,829,375, and $2,055,338, respectively. Termination of the Plan Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Saturn has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, partial termination, or complete discontinuance of contributions, the Administrator may direct the Trustee to: o continue to administer the Plan and pay account balances in accordance with the Plan's distribution policy described in Note A, or o distribute the assets remaining in the Plan in a lump sum to participants and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances. B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows: o Investments are stated as follows: - Value of Interest in General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust - at estimated market prices of the assets in the Master Trust as determined by the investment manager. - Investment Contacts - at contract value, which consists of cost plus accumulated interest. - Fixed Income Fund - at estimated market prices of the assets in the Fund as determined by the investment manager. - Mutual Funds - at quoted market value. o General Motors Corporation Common Stocks acquired by the Trustee for purposes of the Plan may be obtained by purchases on the open market or from the Corporation by subscription or purchase. Such stock acquired by the Trustee on the open market is credited to the participants' accounts at the average per share cost of such purchases (excluding brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, etc.) made for each month. Stock obtained by the Trustee directly from the Corporation is credited to participants' accounts either at the average per share cost to the Trustee of the open market purchases of the stock acquired for a particular month or, in those months in which the Trustee acquires no stock on the open market, at the average of the daily mean high and low market prices of the stock as reported on the Composite Tape of Transactions for such month. o Securities transactions are recorded on the date the trades are executed. o Net appreciation in value of investments held, sold, or distributed represents the change in the market value of the Plan's investments during the year. o Investment income is recognized as earned. - 10 - SATURN PERSONAL CHOICES SAVINGS PLAN FOR NON-REPRESENTED MEMBERS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued o Certain costs of Plan administration are paid by Saturn. o The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates. o Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform with current-year presentation.

SHARE AND UNIT VALUES All assets invested in the Plan are expressed in terms of units. The number of units credited to each participant's account will be determined by the amount of deferred savings and the current value of each unit in the fund.
