2004 First Quarter Results In the presentation that follows and in related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "forecast", "objective", "plan", "goal", "project", "priorities/targets" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of and price increases for fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management. GM is recording the remarks and visuals presented today which are copyrighted by GM and may not be reproduced, transcribed, or distributed in any way without the express written consent of General Motors. Therefore, this conference may not be recorded by attendees. We consider your participation to constitute your consent to being recorded today. Additionally, per Regulation G, supplemental financial disclosure is included which provides a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP financial disclosures addressed in the context of the following chart set to GM's GAAP financial results and provides definition around non-GAAP terminology addressed.
