ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS

     The following charts were furnished to securities analysts in connection with General Motors Corporation’s (GM) earnings release this morning, Tuesday, April 19, 2005.

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", "outlook", "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; health care costs; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; pace of product introductions; 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. 2005 First Quarter Results

2005 First Quarter Highlights Adjusted EPS ($1.48) (excludes special items), ($839) million Net Loss, $45.8 billion Revenue Reported EPS ($1.95), ($1.1) billion Net Loss Low Q1 '05 production levels combined with a weaker product mix and increased healthcare expense drove significant loss at GMNA Favorable impact from GME recovery plan beginning to be realized GME first quarter market share at six year high 5th consecutive quarter of profit from GMLAAM Reduced GMAP profit driven by more challenging China environment and reduced Japan income Solid GMAC performance despite interest rate challenges Strong Mortgage operation results Refer to Supplemental Chart 1 for reconciliation to GAAP figures

First Quarter 2005 Adjustments to Income $ Millions

2005 Corporate Effective Tax Rate To ensure transparency and show Adjusted EPS at conservative level, have adjusted results to a 15% tax rate Is consistent with our prior guidance (effective tax rate of 15%) Reported tax rate is substantially greater than 15% due to tax benefits that do not fluctuate with earnings (i.e. Medicare Part D) Without tax normalization, adjusted earnings would have been ($0.79) EPS

GM/Delphi Transactions The $237M payment from Delphi to GM in Q3 '00 was a partial recovery by GM of recall expense previously incurred by GM, largely in Q1-Q2 '00 Unlike warranty, recall expense is accrued by GM at the time of the recall authorization GM regularly attempts to recover any portion of recall expense that is attributable to a supplier Appropriate accounting treatment for GM is a reduction to previously recognized recall expense when the supplier agrees to reimburse GM $85M entry in 2001 CY was an adjustment to liabilities; primarily OPEB, that arose prior to the Delphi spin-off Appropriate accounting treatment by GM is a charge to equity GM's transaction/ accounting entry could not be completed until final number of Delphi retirement flowbacks were known These transactions were booked according to U.S. GAAP. We are confident that they were accounted for properly
