Note 1 – Reorganization Proceedings
 
On June 1, 2009 (the “Commencement Date”), Motors Liquidation Company (f/k/a General Motors Corporation) (“MLC”) and three of its affiliates, MLCS, LLC (f/k/a Saturn, LLC) (“MLCS”), MLCS Distribution Corporation (f/k/a Saturn Distribution Corporation) (“MLCS Distribution”), and MLC of Harlem, Inc. (f/k/a Chevrolet-Saturn of Harlem Inc.) (“MLC Harlem” and collectively with MLC, MLCS, and MLCS Distribution, the “First Filed Debtors”) commenced cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).
 
On October 9, 2009, two additional debtors, Remediation and Liability Management Company, Inc. (“REALM”) and Environmental Corporate Remediation Company, Inc. (“ENCORE”) (together, the “Second Filed Debtors”, and collectively with the First Filed Debtors, the "Debtors")  commenced cases jointly administered with the cases of the First Filed Debtors.  The Debtors are authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural purposes only under case number 09-50026 (REG) pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.  As described below in more detail, on July 10, 2009, each of the First Filed Debtors sold substantially all of its assets (the “GM Asset Sale”) to a company now known as General Motors, LLC (“New GM”), an entity formed by the United States Treasury, which is now an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of an entity now known as General Motors Company.
 
A description of each of the Debtors is set forth below:
 
·  
Motors Liquidation Company – MLC, a Delaware corporation, historically was the primary operating company of the Debtors, although certain operations were conducted through direct and indirect subsidiaries.  As such, MLC now owns most of the assets, liabilities and contracts that were retained by the Debtors following the GM Asset Sale.
 
·  
MLCS, LLC – MLCS, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct subsidiary of MLC, was formed in 1985 to develop, manufacture, and market a line of passenger cars under the “Saturn” brand.
 
·  
MLCS Distribution Corporation – MLCS Distribution, a Delaware corporation and a direct subsidiary of MLCS, was formed in 1987 to distribute automobiles produced by MLCS and was the primary contracting entity with the Saturn retailer network.
 
·  
MLC of Harlem, Inc. – MLC Harlem, a Delaware corporation and a direct subsidiary of MLC, was formed in 2004 to operate an automobile dealership in New York, New York.
 
·  
Remediation and Liability Management Company, Inc. – REALM, a Michigan corporation and a direct subsidiary of MLC, was formed in 1984 to manage environmental remediation liabilities, including assessing, investigating, and discharging environmental liabilities associated with domestic and international properties affiliated with MLC.

·  
Environmental Corporate Remediation Company, Inc. – ENCORE, a Delaware corporation and a direct subsidiary of MLC, was formed in 1989 to manage environmental remediation liabilities, including assessing, investigating, and discharging environmental liabilities associated with domestic and international properties affiliated with MLC.
 
On July 10, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), each of the First Filed Debtors consummated a sale of substantially all of its assets (the GM Asset Sale) to New GM pursuant to (i) that certain Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “MSPA”), dated June 26, 2009, as amended, among the First Filed Debtors and New GM and (ii) an order of the Bankruptcy Court, dated July 5, 2009 (Docket Number 2968) (the “Sale Order”).
 
The purchase price paid by New GM for the First Filed Debtors’ assets equaled the sum of (i) a credit bid of certain amounts outstanding under MLC’s prepetition credit agreement with the U.S. Treasury and MLC’s debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), (ii) the U.S. Treasury’s return of warrants previously issued to the U.S. Treasury by MLC, (iii) the issuance by New GM to MLC of (a) 50,000,000 shares (10%) of New GM’s common stock and (b) warrants to acquire newly issued shares of New GM common stock initially exercisable for a total of 90,909,090 shares of New GM’s common stock (15% of New GM’s common stock on a fully diluted basis) on the respective terms specified therein, and (iv) the assumption by New GM or its designated subsidiaries of certain specified liabilities of the First Filed Debtors.  The MSPA also provides that in the event that the estimated aggregate general unsecured claims against the Debtors, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court upon the request of MLC, exceeds $35 billion, New GM is required to issue, as an adjustment to the purchase price, up to approximately an additional 2% of its common stock (the “Adjustment Shares” and collectively with the New GM common stock and warrants (and any securities received in respect thereof) set forth in (iii), the “New GM Equity Interests”) to MLC, based on the extent to which such claims exceed $35 billion, with the full amount of the Adjustment Shares being payable if such excess amount is greater than or equal to $7 billion.
 
On October 19, 2009, New GM completed a holding company reorganization pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of New GM were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock and preferred stock of a newly organized Delaware corporation (“New GM HoldCo”) that now bears the name General Motors Company.  As such, the New GM Equity Interests now represent equity interests in New GM HoldCo.
 
On August 31, 2010, the Debtors filed their Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), together with a proposed disclosure statement.  On September 3, 2010, the Debtors filed a motion for an order approving the disclosure statement and solicitation procedures for the Plan (the "Solicitation Motion"). A hearing on the Solicitation Motion is currently scheduled for October 21, 2010.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
 
General
 
This Monthly Operating Report has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements applicable in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases and is in a format acceptable to the Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York.  The financial information contained herein is preliminary and unaudited and does not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and therefore may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosure items.
 
The condensed combined statements of operations presented in this Monthly Operating Report are for the month ended August 31, 2010 and the filing to date period ended August 31, 2010.  The condensed combined statement of net assets is presented as of August 31, 2010.  The condensed combined statements of cash flows presented are for the month ended August 31, 2010 and the filing to date period ended August 31, 2010.
 
These condensed combined financial statements included herein include normal recurring adjustments, but not all of the adjustments that would typically be made for quarterly and annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
 
Furthermore, the monthly information presented herein, has not been subjected to the same level of accounting review and testing that MLC historically applied in the preparation of its quarterly and annual financial information in accordance with GAAP.  Accordingly, the financial information herein is subject to change and any such change could be material.  The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other period or the full year and may not reflect MLC’s results of operation, net assets and cash flows in the future.
 
Accounting Requirements
 
The condensed combined financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with the guidance in American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (SOP 90-7), which is applicable to companies operating under Chapter 11.  SOP 90-7 generally does not change the manner in which financial statements are prepared.  However, it does require that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the filing of the chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business.

NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
 
 
Basis of Accounting
 
The accompanying Monthly Operating Report has been prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting.  Assets are presented at estimated net realizable amounts based on the Debtors’ plans for liquidation.  Liabilities subject to compromise are presented at amounts expected to be allowed as claims and other liabilities are presented at amounts expected to be paid in settlement of the respective obligations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of U.S. Treasury Securities with original maturity dates of up to two years, with scheduled maturities corresponding to expected future cash requirements.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are held for sale or disposal.  The estimated realizable values of property, plant and equipment are evaluated and adjusted based on the Debtors’ plans for disposition and available information regarding recoverable amounts.  Changes in estimated realizable values are recognized as reorganization items in the period they are identified.
 
Investments in Subsidiaries
 
The Debtors’ interests in subsidiaries, including controlled non-Debtor subsidiaries, are presented at estimated realizable values in liquidation.
 
Reorganization Items
 
The Monthly Operating Report presents expenses, gains and losses directly associated with the reorganization as reorganization items.  The amounts presented include professional fees associated with the reorganization, Office of the U.S. Trustee quarterly fees, realized gains and losses from dispositions of assets, changes in the estimated net realizable values of assets and amounts expected to be allowed as claims.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Debtors expect that no income tax obligations will be incurred as a result of reorganization operations, disposal of assets or settlement of liabilities.  As a result, the Monthly Operating Report does not include current or deferred income taxes.

Note 3 – DIP Facility
 
In connection with the closing of the GM Asset Sale, on July 10, 2009, the First Filed Debtors entered into an amended and restated DIP Facility (as restructured, amended and restated, the “Wind Down Facility”) with the U.S. Treasury and Export Development of Canada (collectively, the “DIP Lenders”).  The Wind Down Facility, which was approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, dated July 5, 2009 (Docket Number 2969), provides for loans in a principal amount of $1,175,000,000 (with interest paid in kind), all of which was drawn by the Debtors the day before the Closing Date.  The Wind Down Facility is non-recourse to the Debtors, and the obligations thereunder are secured by substantially all assets of the Debtors’ assets (other than the New GM Equity Interests and certain other assets that were excluded from the assets constituting collateral).  The Debtors currently expect that (i) the Wind Down Facility and the proceeds they recover from their remaining assets will be sufficient to pay the administrative expenses of winding down their estates and administering a chapter 11 plan and (ii) the proceeds of such asset sales will not be sufficient to pay down the Wind Down Facility in full.  Given the non-recourse nature of the Wind Down Facility, these two points together mean that it is expected that the only assets that will be available for distribution (not including the DIP Lenders) are the New GM Equity Interests and it is currently anticipated that all of the New GM Equity Interests will be available for distribution (not including the DIP Lenders).  However, if the Wind Down Facility and the proceeds of the asset sales are insufficient to pay the administrative expenses of winding down the Debtors’ estates and administering a chapter 11 plan, the Debtors will have to use the New GM Equity Interests to pay such expenses.
 
Interest expense accrues quarterly and is paid in kind on the first business day of September, December, March and June.  Approximately $15,509,000 of interest was paid in kind on June 1, 2010.  Accrued interest payable is included in other accrued liabilities on the statement of net assets.
 
Total debtor in possession financing and accrued interest payable outstanding at August 31, 2010 were approximately $1,229,268,000 and $15,537,000, respectively.

Note 4 - Liabilities Subject to Compromise
 
As a result of the chapter 11 filings, the Debtors’ pre-petition indebtedness is subject to compromise or other treatment under a chapter 11 plan.  SOP 90-7 requires that pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise be reported at the amounts expected to be treated as allowed claims receiving distributions under a confirmed chapter 11 plan, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.  The amounts currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise (the “LSTC Amounts”) represent the Debtors’ estimate of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with these chapter 11 cases based upon the Debtors’ books and records, the Debtors’ pre-petition reserves for liabilities, and the ongoing claims resolution process described below.
 
The Court established November 30, 2009 as the deadline to file proofs of claim against the First Filed Debtors and February 1, 2009 as the deadline to file proofs of claim against the Second Filed Debtors (together, the “Bar Dates”).  Over 68,000 proofs of claim were filed by the Bar Dates (the “Filed Proofs of Claim”), of which over 30,000 are litigation related.  The aggregate amount of all Filed Proofs of Claims, as of the Bar Date, exceeded $217 billion (the “Filed Amounts”); moreover, a large number of the Filed Proofs of Claim are unliquidated.  The Filed Proofs of Claim include, among other claims, unsecured bond debt claims, environmental remediation cost claims, personal injury claims, wrongful death claims, tort claims, product liability claims, contract dispute claims, indemnity claims, warranty claims, class action claims, and claims for damages resulting from the rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases.
 
The Debtors are actively evaluating the merits of the Filed Proofs of Claim to determine their validity and proper amount.  Only to the extent the Filed Proofs of Claim are ultimately “allowed,” either by agreement with the Debtors or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, will the holders of such claims be entitled to distribution under a chapter 11 plan.  To that end, the Debtors continue to engage in settlement discussions with various claimants seeking to reach agreement as to the allowed claim amounts.  The Debtors have also filed individual and omnibus objections to thousands of Filed Proofs of Claims, resulting in the disallowance and expungement of billions of dollars of Filed Proofs of Claim.  The Debtors expect to file additional objections to Filed Proofs of Claim as well.  Moreover, to facilitate the efficient resolution of the Filed Proofs of Claim and to distribute meaningful value to the Debtors’ creditors in an acceptable timeframe, upon the Debtors’ request, the Bankruptcy Court approved alternative dispute resolution procedures (the “ADR Procedures”) to resolve the Filed Proofs of Claim.  Though much progress has been made through these efforts, the Debtors have a substantial number of Filed Proofs of Claim left to resolve and, therefore, cannot determine the final amount of the Filed Proofs of Claim that will ultimately be allowed claims receiving distributions under a confirmed chapter 11 plan.  Furthermore, based on the Debtors’ current assessment of the validity of the Filed Proofs of Claim, the LSTC Amounts in many cases are lower than the Filed Amounts.

NOTES TO MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT
 
 
The LSTC Amounts shown are the Debtors’ pre-petition reserves for liabilities, or where more current information exists and the amount can be estimated in accordance with SOP 90-7, those amounts have been included as the LSTC Amounts.  LSTC Amounts relating to litigation and product liability include pre-petition asbestos liabilities and are based upon pre-petition reserves.  As such, the amounts shown do not necessarily include amounts for claims that continue to be subject to review, estimation and reconciliation, particularly claims relating to litigation and product liability and environmental reserves, and therefore, the LSTC Amounts are likely to increase and should not be relied upon as a precise estimate of claims that will ultimately be allowed.
 
On November 12, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement agreement with certain labor unions and New GM.  The following labor unions accepted the settlement (“Participating Splinter Unions”):
 
·  
IUE-CWA
 
·  
USW
 
·  
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
 
·  
Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters, Local 687 and Interior Systems, Local 1045
 
·  
International Brotherhood of Painters & Allied Trades of the U.S. and Canada, Sign & Display Union Local 59
 
·  
International Union of Operating Engineers
 
·  
United Catering Restaurant Bar & Hotel Workers
 
On June 22, 2010 and June 28, 2010, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (”IBT”) and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAMAW”), respectively, accepted the settlement subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.  On July 14, 2010, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the addition of the IAMAW and the IBT as Participating Splinter Unions.  On August 9, 2010 the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the addition of the IAMAW and the IBT as Participating Splinter Unions.  As of August 31, 2010, the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers has not accepted the settlement (the "Non-Participating Splinter Union").  Under the terms of the settlement, MLC has agreed to fund up to $100 million of administrative expenses for costs incurred for health benefit claims incurred on and after July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009. All excess costs and costs incurred after December 31, 2009, shall be the responsibility of New GM whether or not those excess costs relate to Participating Splinter Unions or the Non‐Participating Splinter Union.
 
The settlement also grants the Participating Splinter Unions an allowed pre-petition unsecured claim in the amount of $1.0 billion to fully settle, satisfy and discharge all claims against MLC and its affiliates and former and present officers and directors.  As a result of the settlement, liabilities subject to compromise relating to union obligations were reduced by $2.5 billion and a corresponding gain on claim settlement was recorded to reorganization items (See Note 5) in the condensed statement of operations for the month ended November 30, 2009.

Note 5 - Reorganization Items
 
SOP 90-7 requires that reorganization items, such as professional fees directly related to the process of reorganizing under Chapter 11 and provisions and adjustments to reflect the carrying value of certain pre-petition liabilities at their estimated allowable claim amounts, be reported separately.  The Debtors’ reorganization items for the month ended August 31, 2010 and the filing to date period ended August 31, 2010 relate to professional fees, Office of the U.S. Trustee quarterly fees, adjustments to liabilities subject to compromise (See Note 4) and adjustments to assets and liabilities in accordance with the MSPA.
 
Note 6 - Post-petition Accounts Payable
 
The Debtors believe that all undisputed post-petition accounts payable have been or are being paid under agreed payment terms and the Debtors intend to continue paying all undisputed post-petition obligations as they become due.
