Forward Looking Statements In this presentation and in related comments by General Motors' management, we will use words like "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "initiative," "objective," "plan," "goal," "project," "outlook," "priorities," "target," "intend," "evaluate," "pursue," "seek," "may," "would," "could," "should," "believe," "potential," "continue," "designed," "impact," or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but GM's actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors include: the ability of GM to realize production efficiencies, to achieve reductions in costs as a result of the turnaround restructuring and health care cost reductions and to implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management; the pace of product introductions; market acceptance of our new products; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in our markets, including on our pricing policies; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; changes in the existing, or the adoption of new laws, regulations, policies, or other activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations where such actions may affect the production, licensing, distribution, or sale of our products, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; costs and risks associated with litigation; the final results of investigations and inquiries by the SEC and other governmental agencies; changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, including the range of estimates for the Delphi pension benefit guarantees, which could result in an impact on earnings; negotiations and bankruptcy court actions with respect to Delphi's obligations to GM, negotiations with respect to GM's obligations under the pension benefit guarantees to Delphi employees, and GM's ability to recover any indemnity claims against Delphi; labor strikes or work stoppages at GM or its key suppliers such as Delphi or financial difficulties at GM's key suppliers such as Delphi; completion of the final settlement with the UAW and UAW retirees, including securing class certification in a form acceptable to GM, the UAW and class counsel; completion of the final settlement with the UAW and UAW retirees, including obtaining court approval in a form acceptable to GM, the UAW, and class counsel; treatment of the terms of the 2006 Settlement Agreement pursuant to the Retiree MOU in a manner acceptable to GM, the UAW and class counsel; GM's completion of discussions with the Staff of the SEC regarding accounting treatment with respect to the New VEBA and the post-retirement medical benefits for the covered group as set forth in the Retiree MOU, on a basis reasonably satisfactory to GM; shortages of and price increases for fuel; factors affecting GMAC's results of operations and financial conditions and changes in the residential mortgage market, especially in the nonprime sector; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in GMAC's markets, including on GMAC's pricing policies; GMAC's ability to maintain adequate financing sources; GMAC's ability to maintain an appropriate level of debt; restrictions on the ability of GMAC's residential mortgage subsidiary to pay dividends and prepay subordinated debt obligations to GMAC; changes in the residual value of off-lease vehicles; changes in U.S. government- sponsored mortgage programs or disruptions in the markets in which GMAC's mortgage subsidiaries operate; changes in GMAC's contractual servicing rights; changes in the credit ratings of GMAC or GM; and changes in economic conditions, commodity prices, currency exchange rates, or political stability in the markets in which we or GMAC operate. The most recent annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K filed by GM and GMAC provide information about these factors, which may be revised or supplemented in future reports to the SEC on those forms.

U.S. Economic Outlook U.S. economy is expected to slow, but avoid a recession Weak housing market remains a headwind, but economy-wide credit crunch is not expected Employment and income growth will slow, but stay positive Overseas demand expected to remain strong, aiding U.S. exports U.S. dollar likely to remain weak Potential for monetary and fiscal stimulus to offset housing crisis and continued high oil prices Strong international economies serve as longer term stimulus to U.S. economy despite short term headwinds


 

U.S. Industry Outlook 2007 industry levels have remained relatively steady throughout year despite growing economic headwinds 2008 total industry is likely to be in the low 16 million range Lower consumer confidence Rising gas and oil prices remain a headwind Domestic manufacturers have moved to rationalize supply rather than stimulate demand through incentives Truck mix may decline further in short term as housing market and construction activity bottom out Demand pressure continues on traditional SUVs and vans Due in part to shift to crossovers (which had 34% sales growth in 2007) Industry fleet sales expected to be lower due to decline in daily rental sales

Delphi-related Material Savings 2005 price premium on Delphi-sourced parts estimated to be approximately $2B Approximately $1.5B at YE 2007 volumes and sourcing/pricing Expect to recoup substantial portion of premium over next 3-5 years Combination of improved Delphi competitiveness, more competitive pricing in sold businesses, and re-sourcing of parts from wind-down businesses $400-500 million of GM labor/transitional subsidies going forward will partially offset material cost savings

U.S. Industry Downside Scenario Contingency planning in place for downside scenario based on factors such as: Possible further retraction in consumer and corporate credit Concerns regarding oil prices and higher energy costs more generally Full brunt of housing correction Resulting impact on consumer confidence Downside scenario of total U.S. industry at 15.4 million units


 

Managing Liquidity in a U.S. Industry Downturn Ahead of a possible downturn, should target liquidity of at least $18-20B and access to $4-5B of credit lines Year-end projected liquidity of $27B+ and access to approximately $7B of undrawn credit facilities Confident of liquidity cushion through CY 2008 Adequate to sustain global automotive operations, $8B+ of capital expenditure and special attrition program One million unit downside in U.S. industry would have negative liquidity impact estimated in the $2-3B range Current liquidity adequate for downside scenario

GMAC Update GMAC expects ResCap to meet its financial covenants at YE 2007 GM believes GMAC remains adequately capitalized $1.1B of preferred equity converted to common by owners in Q4 2007 $1B contribution by GM in Q1 2007 to true-up equity per sale agreement No other cash injections required from GMAC owners in 2007 GMAC liquidity at relatively high historical levels GMAC expects to be profitable in 2008, with substantially reduced losses at ResCap due to risk mitigation actions undertaken Do not expect common dividend distributions in interest of building GMAC capital Auto Finance remains profitable despite some delinquency headwinds Insurance operations continue to perform well due to favorable loss experience


 

Delphi Update Agreements between GM, Delphi and each of Delphi's labor unions were signed during June through August 2007 GM and Delphi signed comprehensive agreements in September 2007 resolving all claims by and against Delphi and documenting GM's support of Delphi's reorganization Agreements would become effective upon Delphi's exit from Chapter 11 In December 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved Delphi's Disclosure Statement and Solicitation Procedures as well as an amended Equity Purchase and Commitment Agreement Supported by GM, the Plan Investors and Delphi's statutory committees Delphi continues to expect to emerge from Chapter 11 during Q1 2008 GM expects significant savings over time against Delphi-related material cost penalty
