Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

1. Description of Trust and Reporting Policies

The Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (“GUC Trust”) is a successor to Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corp.) (“MLC”) within the meaning of Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”). The GUC Trust holds, administers and directs the distribution of certain assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust Agreement (the “GUC Trust Agreement”), dated as of June 11, 2012, and as amended from time to time, and pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (the “Plan”), dated March 18, 2011, of MLC and its debtor affiliates (collectively, along with MLC, the “Debtors”), for the benefit of holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Debtors (“Allowed General Unsecured Claims”).

The GUC Trust was formed on March 30, 2011, as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, for the purposes of implementing the Plan and distributing the GUC Trust’s distributable assets. The Plan generally provides for the distribution of certain shares of common stock (“New GM Common Stock”) of the new General Motors Company, formerly known as NGMCO, Inc. (“New GM”), and certain warrants for the purchase of shares of such stock (the “New GM Warrants,” and, together with the New GM Common Stock, the “New GM Securities”) to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pro rata by the amount of such claims. In addition, the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will obtain, in the form of GUC Trust Units (as defined below), a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (if and to the extent such New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required for the satisfaction of previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims (as defined in Note 2) or liquidation for the payment of the expenses or liabilities of the GUC Trust) and certain cash, if any, remaining at the dissolution of the GUC Trust.

The GUC Trust exists solely for the purpose of resolving claims, distributing New GM Securities and winding down the affairs of MLC, all in accordance with a plan of liquidation of MLC approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the GUC Trust has prepared the accompanying financial statements on the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Under the liquidation basis of accounting as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted amount of cash into which an asset is expected to be converted during the liquidation period, while liabilities continue to be recognized at the amount required by other U.S. GAAP, and are not remeasured to reflect any anticipation that an entity will be legally released from an obligation. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, a reserve is established for estimated costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation period. Such costs are accrued when there is a reasonable basis for estimation. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. The valuation of assets at net realizable value, reserves for residual wind-down claims and reserves for expected costs of liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances known to the GUC Trust Administrator, and are subject to change.

As described above, the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units (“Trust Beneficiaries”). As Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved and allowed and thereby become Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the holders thereof become entitled to receive liquidating distributions of New GM Securities and GUC Trust Units pro rata by the amount of such Claims and, upon such occurrence, the GUC Trust incurs an obligation to distribute such securities. Accordingly, liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of such New GM Securities) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims (as defined in Note 2) were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence. Prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Rather, the beneficial interests of Trust Beneficiaries in the residual assets of the GUC Trust are reflected in Net Assets in Liquidation of the GUC Trust in the accompanying financial statements.

The accompanying (a) condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at March 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The GUC Trust believes all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The changes in net assets in liquidation for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the changes in net assets that may be expected for the full year. The GUC Trust believes that, although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, the accompanying interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the GUC Trust’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, included in the Form 10-K filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the GUC Trust Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and are subject to change.

Changes to U.S. GAAP are made by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The GUC Trust considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s, including those issued but not yet effective. ASU’s not noted herein were assessed and determined not to be applicable to the GUC Trust. In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB ASC and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods therein. The GUC Trust will adopt the provisions of this standard on April 1, 2014, and does not expect such adoption to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

2. Plan of Liquidation

On March 31, 2011, the date the Plan became effective (the “Effective Date”), there were approximately $29,771 million in Allowed General Unsecured Claims. In addition, as of the Effective Date, there were approximately $8,154 million in disputed general unsecured claims which reflected liquidated disputed claims, as adjusted pursuant to the Plan, and a Bankruptcy Court ordered distribution reserve for unliquidated disputed claims (“Disputed General Unsecured Claims”), but did not reflect potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims. The total aggregate amount of general unsecured claims, both allowed and disputed, asserted against the Debtors, inclusive of the potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims, was approximately $39,425 million as of the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims become entitled to receive a distribution of New GM Securities from the GUC Trust if, and to the extent that, such Disputed General Unsecured Claims become Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Under the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust Administrator has the authority to file objections to such Disputed General Unsecured Claims and the Bankruptcy Court has extended the time by which the GUC Trust may object to Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Residual Wind-Down Claims as defined below to March 20, 2014 (which date may be further extended by application to the Bankruptcy Court). Such claims may be prosecuted through alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation and arbitration (“ADR Proceedings”), if appropriate. As of December 31, 2013, there were approximately $130.6 million in Disputed General Unsecured Claims, which amount has been significantly reduced from approximately $8,154 million as of the Effective Date. See “—Allowed and Disputed Claims” below.

To the extent that all or a portion of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is deemed invalid—or “disallowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is disallowed is not entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust (subject to any appeal rights of the claimant). However, to the extent that a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is fully resolved, and such resolution results in all or a portion of the original Disputed General Unsecured Claim being deemed valid—or “allowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is allowed will be considered an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and will be entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust as if it were an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on the Effective Date (such claims, “Resolved Disputed Claims”).

Only one avoidance action, captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No.09-00504 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009) (the “Term Loan Avoidance Action”), was commenced prior to the statutory deadline for commencing such actions. The Term Loan Avoidance Action was commenced by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Company (the “Committee”), and seeks the return of approximately $1.5 billion that had been transferred by the Debtors (with funds advanced after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors (as defined in Item 2 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis”) under the heading “Glossary” below) by the United States Treasury and Export Development Canada (together, the “DIP Lenders”)) to a consortium of prepetition lenders pursuant to the terms of the

5

order of the Bankruptcy Court. On December 15, 2011, in accordance with the Plan, upon the dissolution of MLC, the Term Loan Avoidance Action was transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust (as defined below). To the extent that Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as the trustee and trust administrator of the Avoidance Action Trust (the “Avoidance Action Trust Administrator”), is successful in obtaining a judgment against the defendant(s) to the Term Loan Avoidance Action, Allowed General Unsecured Claims will arise in the amount of any transfers actually avoided (that is, disgorged) pursuant thereto (such general unsecured claims “Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims,” and together with Resolved Disputed Claims, the “Resolved Allowed Claims”).

It is still unclear whether any amounts actually avoided pursuant to the Term Loan Avoidance Action would be for the benefit of holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. The Committee has taken the position that (a) the DIP Lenders are not entitled to any proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action and have no interests in the trust established for the action under the Plan (the “Avoidance Action Trust”) and (b) the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims have the exclusive right to receive any and all proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, and are the exclusive beneficiaries of the Avoidance Action Trust with respect thereto.

Litigation with respect to these issues is ongoing (with the Term Loan Avoidance Action currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit), and the rights to any recoveries on the Term Loan Avoidance Action are still disputed. In no event, however, will any funds reclaimed from the pre-petition lenders be transferred to or otherwise benefit the GUC Trust or be distributed to holders of GUC Trust Units.

GUC Trust Distributable Assets

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the distribution of 150 million shares of New GM Common Stock issued by New GM, warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $10.00 per share (“New GM Series A Warrants”), and warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $18.33 per share (“New GM Series B Warrants”), (such securities, “New GM Securities”). Record ownership of the New GM Securities was held by MLC for the benefit of the GUC Trust until the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, at which time record ownership was transferred to the GUC Trust.

Funding for GUC Trust Costs of Liquidation

The GUC Trust has incurred and will continue to incur certain costs to liquidate the trust assets and implement the Plan. On or about the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, MLC contributed approximately $52.7 million to the GUC Trust to be held and maintained by the GUC Trust Administrator (the “Administrative Fund”) primarily for the purpose of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust (including fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor (as defined in Item 2 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis”) under the heading “Glossary” below) and the fees and expenses for professionals retained by the GUC Trust), other than the Reporting Costs, as defined below (“Wind-Down Costs”). As of December 31, 2013, the remaining Administrative Fund aggregated $14.2 million. Of that amount, approximately $8.8 million has been separately designated for the satisfaction of certain costs and liabilities of the GUC Trust (other than Reporting Costs (as defined below)) and $5.4 million is available for other Wind-Down Costs, which funds must be exhausted prior to the use of any Other Administrative Cash (as defined below) for such purposes. Cash or investments from the Administrative Fund, if any, which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders.

The GUC Trust Agreement authorized the GUC Trust to liquidate approximately $5.7 million of New GM Securities (the “Initial Reporting Cash”) shortly after the Effective Date for the purposes of funding certain fees and expenses of the GUC Trust (the “Reporting Costs”), including those directly or indirectly relating to (i) reports to be prepared and filed by the GUC Trust pursuant to applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) the transfer, registration for transfer and certification of GUC Trust Units, and (iii) the application by the Committee (as defined below) to the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling regarding the tax treatment of the GUC Trust and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in respect to the distribution of New GM Securities. The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Reporting Costs.

The GUC Trust Agreement provides that, if the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Administrative Fund is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Wind-Down Costs or the Initial Reporting Cash is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Reporting Costs, the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, is authorized to set aside New GM Securities from distribution for these purposes. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such “set aside” New GM Securities to fund the Wind-Down Costs and/or Reporting Costs with the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are set aside and/or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. Although any such liquidation of set aside New GM Securities will be reflected in the financial statements of the GUC Trust at the time of liquidation, the

6

setting aside of New GM Securities itself is not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust. Separate from this process of setting aside New GM Securities to satisfy unfunded projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust, as a matter of financial reporting, the GUC Trust records a reserve in its Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation (the source of funding of which is not addressed therein) for all expected costs of liquidation for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation. For this reason, among others, there is not a direct relationship between the amount of such reserve reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and the value of any New GM Securities that are set aside for current or projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust. Adjustments to the Reserve for Expected Costs of Liquidation as reported in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation are recorded only when there is a reasonable basis for estimation of the expected incurrence of additional costs. For more information regarding the Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation, see Note 7.

The Bankruptcy Court previously approved in March 2012, and December 2012, the sale of New GM Securities to fund the then current and projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust. The March 2012, Bankruptcy Court order also authorized the sale of further New GM Securities for the purpose of funding certain fees, costs and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust (as described below under the heading “—Funding for Avoidance Action Trust”).

Through March 31, 2013, sales of New GM Securities to fund projected Reporting Costs and Wind-Down Costs through calendar year 2013 aggregated approximately $50.2 million, including the Initial Reporting Cash (which amounts comprised part of the GUC Trust’s Other Administrative Cash). Such securities sold aggregated 902,228 shares of New GM Common Stock, 820,205 New GM Series A Warrants and 820,205 New GM Series B Warrants. There have been no subsequent sales of securities to fund Wind-Down Costs and Reporting Costs.

To the extent that any of the Other Administrative Cash is not ultimately required and is held by the GUC Trust at the time of its dissolution, such remaining Other Administrative Cash will be distributed by the GUC Trust to holders of the GUC Trust Units.

As of December 31, 2013, New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value as of that date of $64.8 million have been set aside for projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses to be incurred beyond December 31, 2013. Accordingly, such New GM Securities are currently not available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust Units.

Funding for Potential Tax Liabilities

The GUC Trust is subject to U.S. federal income tax on realized gains from the disposition of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (such taxes, “Taxes on Distribution”). The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Taxes on Distribution. As such, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, to set aside from distribution certain numbers of New GM Securities, the liquidated proceeds of which would be sufficient to satisfy any potential Taxes on Distribution. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such “set aside” New GM Securities to fund the Taxes on Distribution, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, but without the necessity of obtaining approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are set aside and subsequently sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. New GM Securities that have been so set aside are included in Holdings of New GM Securities in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. In the event such set-aside New GM Securities were sold to fund Taxes on Distribution, the proceeds of such sale would be reflected in Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities until expended to pay Taxes on Distribution. While the set-aside New GM Securities are not available for distribution, there is no corresponding liability or reserve related to the set aside New GM Securities reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust Administrator reviewed the current and potential Taxes on Distribution. As a result of such review, the GUC Trust Administrator determined that New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value (as of December 31, 2013) of $716.6 million should be set aside for potential Taxes on Distribution based on (1) the GUC Trust’s method for calculating potential gains on distributions or sales of New GM Securities (reduced by carryforward net operating losses and future deductible expenses at December 31, 2013) and (2) the GUC Trust’s method for converting the potential tax liability to the number of securities to be set aside. However, as a result of limitations on the number of New GM Securities that were available to be set aside, New GM Securities with an aggregate fair value (as of December 31, 2013) of only $694.1 million were able to be set aside. (See Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” under the heading “Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution—Limitation on New GM Securities Available to be Set Aside” for additional details regarding such limitations.) Such New GM Securities are not currently available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. The GUC Trust Administrator intends to continue to reevaluate the numbers of New GM Securities set aside on a quarterly basis.

7

As previously disclosed, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date, instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position described above. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. The new tax position has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service as of the date hereof. However, the GUC Trust believes, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it is more likely than not that the new tax position will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service based on the technical merits of the position. Accordingly, this new tax position has been reflected in the amounts recognized in current and deferred income tax liabilities and the income tax provision in the GUC Trust’s financial statements since September 30, 2013. By contrast as a conservative measure, the calculation of the “set aside” of New GM Securities for potential Taxes on Distribution utilizes the prior tax position rather than the new tax position. The calculation of the “set aside” of New GM Securities for potential Taxes on Distribution will not reflect the new tax position unless and until the new tax position has been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service for all applicable income tax returns, including the GUC Trust’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year ending March 31, 2014 and subsequent years.

Funding for Avoidance Action Trust

Based on an analysis of the Avoidance Action Trust and its potential funding sources, the GUC Trust Administrator, in conjunction with the Avoidance Action Trust Administrator, determined that it would be in the best interest of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims to fund certain fees, costs and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In March 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of New GM Securities aggregating approximately $13.7 million and the transfer of the sales proceeds to the Avoidance Action Trust for such funding. The sale occurred in March 2012, comprising 269,422 shares of New GM Common Stock, 244,929 New GM Series A Warrants and 244,929 New GM Series B Warrants. The sales proceeds were transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust in May 2012.

Residual Wind-Down Claims and Costs

Upon the dissolution of the Debtors, which occurred on December 15, 2011, the GUC Trust became responsible for resolving and satisfying (to the extent allowed) all remaining disputed administrative expenses, priority tax claims, priority non-tax claims and secured claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Claims”). On December 15, 2011, under the Plan, the Debtors transferred to the GUC Trust an amount of cash necessary (the “Residual Wind-Down Assets”) to satisfy the ultimate allowed amount of such Residual Wind-Down Claims (including certain litigation defense costs related to the Term Loan Avoidance Action (the “Avoidance Action Defense Costs”)), as estimated by the Debtors, and the costs, fees and expenses relating to satisfying and resolving the Residual Wind-Down Claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Costs”). The Residual Wind-Down Assets initially aggregated approximately $42.8 million (which amount consisted of approximately $40.0 million in cash, including approximately $1.4 million for the payment of Avoidance Action Defense Costs, and the transferred benefit of approximately $2.8 million in prepaid expenses). Should the Residual Wind-Down Costs and the Residual Wind-Down Claims be less than the Residual Wind-Down Assets, any excess funds will be returned to the DIP Lenders. If at any time the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Residual Wind-Down Assets are not adequate to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims (including the actual amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs) and Residual Wind-Down Costs, such costs will be satisfied by Other Administrative Cash. If there is no remaining Other Administrative Cash, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized to, with GUC Trust Monitor approval, set aside and, with Bankruptcy Court approval, sell New GM Securities to cover the shortfall. To the extent that New GM Securities are set aside and sold to obtain funding to complete the wind-down of the Debtors, such securities will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust. Therefore, the amount of Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Costs could reduce the assets of the GUC Trust available for distribution. Although any such sale of set aside New GM Securities would be reflected in the financial statements of the GUC Trust in the period of sale, the setting aside of New GM Securities itself would not be reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust.

After the GUC Trust has concluded its affairs, any funds remaining that were obtained from the sale of New GM Securities to fund the wind-down process or the resolution and satisfaction of the Residual Wind-Down Claims will be distributed to the holders of the GUC Trust Units. Including costs accrued as of December 31, 2013, the amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs incurred to date exceeds the corresponding cash of $1.4 million received by the GUC Trust from MLC on the Dissolution Date by approximately $69,000. As a result a new Residual Wind-Down Claim has arisen in the amount of such excess. It is expected that additional Avoidance Action Defense Costs will be incurred for which additional Residual Wind-Down Claims will arise to be paid from the other remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of such assets, Other Administrative Cash or the sale of

8

New GM Securities. As of December 31, 2013, $31.2 million in Residual Wind-Down Assets were held by the GUC Trust (including $0.4 million of the original $1.4 million earmarked for Avoidance Action Defense Costs), which are recorded in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other assets & deposits in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. By comparison, there were approximately $13.2 million in Residual Wind-Down Claims against such assets as of December 31, 2013, subject to increase for new Residual Wind-Down Claims that are expected to arise for Avoidance Action Defense Costs.

In addition to the Residual Wind-Down Assets, the GUC Trust also received on the Dissolution Date approximately $3.4 million in cash from MLC for the purposes of funding (1) $1.4 million in respect of certain costs, fees and expenses payable under the Plan to the indenture trustees and fiscal and paying agents for the previously outstanding debt of MLC, or the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs, and (2) $2.0 million in respect of Reporting Costs. The funds received were credited to the reserve for expected costs of liquidation. Any unused portion of the funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs must be returned to the DIP Lenders and will not be available for distribution to the holders of GUC Trust Units at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust. As of December 31, 2013, funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agents Costs held by the GUC Trust approximated $0.5 million and are recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation.

3. Net Assets in Liquidation

Description

Under the GUC Trust Agreement and the Plan, as described more fully in Note 1, the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units (“Trust Beneficiaries”). Certain assets of the GUC Trust are set aside for funding the projected costs of liquidation and potential tax liabilities and are currently not available to the Trust Beneficiaries. Other assets of the GUC Trust, primarily Holdings of New GM Securities, as described in Notes 1 and 5, are available to be distributed to the Trust Beneficiaries (“GUC Trust Distributable Assets”) in accordance with the Plan. The amounts of net assets in liquidation presented in the accompanying Condensed Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation at December 31and March 31, 2013, correspond to the amounts of GUC Trust Distributable Assets as of December 31 and March 31, 2013.

Trust Units

As described in Note 1, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will retain a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (if and to the extent such shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required for the satisfaction of previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims or liquidation for the payment of the expenses or tax liabilities of the GUC Trust) and certain cash, if any, remaining at the dissolution of the GUC Trust. The GUC Trust issues units representing such contingent rights (“GUC Trust Units”) at the rate of one GUC Trust Unit per $1,000 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims to each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim, subject to rounding pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, in connection with the initial recognition of each Allowed General Unsecured Claim.

The GUC Trust makes quarterly liquidating distributions to holders of GUC Trust Units to the extent that certain previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims asserted against the Debtors’ estates are either disallowed or are otherwise resolved favorably to the GUC Trust (thereby reducing the amount of GUC Trust assets set aside for distribution in respect of such asserted claims) and the amount of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets (as defined in the GUC Trust Agreement) as of the end of the relevant quarter exceeds thresholds set forth in the GUC Trust Agreement.

The following table presents the changes during the three months ended December 31, 2013, in the numbers of GUC Trust Units outstanding or which the GUC Trust was obligated to issue:

	Trust Units
Outstanding or issuable at September 30, 2013		30,293,376
Issued during the period (1)		1,560,575
Less: Issuable at beginning of period (2)		(10,575	)
Add: Issuable at end of period (2)		—
Outstanding at December 31, 2013 (3)		31,843,376

9

(1) Of the 1,560,575 GUC Trust Units issued during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, 1,550,000 related to the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution (as defined below) applicable to the Nova Scotia Matter (as defined below) described in Note 4. The balance was issued in respect of GUC Trust Units issuable at September 30, 2013.

(2) The number of GUC Trust Units issuable at any time represents GUC Trust Units issuable in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were newly allowed during the fiscal quarter.

(3) The number of GUC Trust Units outstanding at any time represents GUC Trust Units issued in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed in prior periods, including GUC Trust Units held by the GUC Trust for the benefit of (a) holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who had not yet supplied information required by the GUC Trust in order to effect the initial distribution to which they are entitled and (b) governmental entities that are precluded by applicable law from receiving distributions of GUC Trust Units and New GM Securities.

Allowed and Disputed Claims

The total cumulative pro rata liquidating distributions ultimately received by Trust Beneficiaries are dependent upon the current amount of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and final resolution of outstanding Disputed General Unsecured Claims and potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims (as described in Note 2). Disputed General Unsecured Claims at December 31, 2013, reflect claim amounts at their originally filed amounts, a court ordered distribution “set aside” for certain claims filed without a claim amount and other adjustments as ordered by the court or permitted by the Plan. The Disputed General Unsecured Claims may settle at amounts that differ significantly from these amounts and at amounts that differ significantly from the historical pattern at which claims have been settled and allowed in proportion to claims resolved and disallowed. As described in Note 1, prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of New GM Securities to be distributed) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence.

The following table presents a summary of the Allowed and Disputed General Unsecured Claims and potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Allowed General Unsecured Claims		Disputed General Unsecured Claims			Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims		Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims (1)			Total Claim Amount (2)
Total, September 30, 2013	$	30,293,305	$	3,191,393		$	1,500,000	$	4,691,393		$	34,984,698
New Allowed General Unsecured Claims		1,550,000		—			—		—			1,550,000
Disputed General Unsecured Claims resolved or disallowed		—		(3,060,821	)		—		(3,060,821	)		(3,060,821	)
Total, December 31, 2013	$	31,843,305	$	130,572		$	1,500,000	$	1,630,572		$	33,473,877

(1) Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims represents the sum of Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims.

(2) Total Claim Amount represents the sum of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims.

As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2013, the GUC Trust entered into a settlement agreement (the “Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement”), to resolve certain litigation (the “Nova Scotia Matter”) to disallow, equitably subordinate or reduce claims relating to notes (the “Nova Scotia Notes”) issued in 2003 by General Motors Nova Scotia Finance Company and guaranteed by MLC. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement became effective pursuant to its terms on November 25, 2013. As a result, Disputed General Unsecured Claims with an aggregate maximum asserted amount of $3,060.8 million were resolved, $1,550.0 million of which were allowed and approximately $1,510.8 million of which were disallowed. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q. See Note 4 for additional information regarding distributions of New GM Securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 pursuant to the terms of the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement.

4. Liquidating Distributions

Liquidating distributions during the three months ended December 31, 2013, consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Distributions during the three months ended December 31, 2013	$	1,159,111
Less: Liquidating distributions payable at September 30, 2013		(100,447	)
Add: Liquidating distributions payable at December 31, 2013		8,466
Total	$	1,067,130

Liquidating distributions during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Distributions during the nine months ended December 31, 2013	$	1,176,027
Less: Liquidating distributions payable at March 31, 2013		(16,555	)
Add: Liquidating distributions payable at December 31, 2013		8,466
Total	$	1,167,938

The distributions during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, consisted of (1) the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution (as defined below), (2) the Special Excess Distribution (as defined below), (3) distributions to holders of Resolved Disputed Claims (exclusive of the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution) and (4) distributions to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who previously failed to fulfill informational requirements for distribution established in accordance with the GUC Trust Agreement, but subsequently successfully fulfilled such information requirements As described in Note 3, the GUC Trust entered into the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement on September 26, 2013, which became effective November 25, 2013. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, (i) the reduction of claims relating to the Nova Scotia Matter, in the aggregate, from $3,060.8 million to $1,550.0 million and allowance of such claim as so reduced (the “Nova Scotia Settlement Claims Allowances”), (ii) a liquidating distribution to be made to the holders of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims resulting from the Settlement Claims Allowances (the “Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution”), and (iii) a subsequent liquidating distribution of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets (as defined in the GUC Trust Agreement) to be made to holders of the GUC Trust Units (the “Special Excess Distribution”). The Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution was made on or about December 2, 2013, aggregating approximately $527.5 million and consisted of, in the aggregate, (a) 6,174,015 shares of New GM Common Stock, (b) 5,612,741 New GM Series A Warrants, (c) 5,612,741 New GM Series B Warrants, and (d) 1,550,000 GUC Trust Units. The Special Excess Distribution was made on or about December 23, 2013, aggregating approximately $614.8 million and consisted of, in the aggregate, (a) 6,735,070 shares of New GM Common Stock, (b) 6,122,789 New GM Series A Warrants, and (c) 6,122,789 New GM Series B Warrants. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the related Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q.

The GUC Trust was obligated at December 31, 2013, to distribute 93,738 shares of New GM Stock, 85,178 of New GM Series A Warrants, and 85,178 of New GM Series B Warrants in the aggregate to certain holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who had not then satisfied certain informational requirements necessary to receive these securities. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, cash of approximately $13,000 was then distributable to governmental entities which are precluded by applicable law from receiving distributions of New GM Securities and for distributions in lieu of fractional shares and warrants.

5. Holdings of New GM Securities

At December 31, 2013, the Holdings of New GM Securities, at fair value, consisted of the following:

	Number		Fair Value (in thousands)
New GM Common Stock		15,347,633	$	627,258
New GM Series A Warrants		13,952,218		434,472
New GM Series B Warrants		13,952,218		322,575
Total			$	1,384,305

As described in Note 4, as of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust had accrued liquidating distributions payable aggregating $8.5 million in respect of both New GM Securities and cash of $13,000 then distributable. As a result, the numbers of New GM Securities reflected above include shares and warrants for which liquidating distributions were then pending. As of December 31, 2013, these securities for which distributions were then pending aggregated 93,738 shares of New GM Common Stock, 85,178 Series A Warrants and 85,178 Series B Warrants.

11

As of December 31, 2013, the number of common stock shares and warrants in the table above also includes New GM Securities aggregating $64.8 million set aside to fund projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses to be incurred beyond 2013 and $694.1 million of New GM Securities set aside to fund potential Taxes on Distribution. As a result, as of December 31, 2013, the numbers of New GM Securities in the table above include an aggregate 8,413,905 shares of New GM Common Stock, 7,648,979 New GM Series A Warrants, and 7,648,979 New GM Series B Warrants which have been so set aside.

Set forth below are the aggregate number and fair value of all such shares and warrants which are pending distribution or are set aside, and are not available for distribution at December 31, 2013.

	Number		Fair Value (in thousands)
New GM Common Stock		8,507,643	$	347,707
New GM Series A Warrants		7,734,157		240,842
New GM Series B Warrants		7,734,157		178,814
Total			$	767,363

6. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The GUC Trust’s Marketable Securities, Holdings of New GM Securities and Liquidating Distributions Payable are presented as provided by this hierarchy.

Level 1—In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the GUC Trust has the ability to access.

Level 2—Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3—Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. The GUC Trust had no assets or liabilities that are measured with Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The GUC Trust’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

The GUC Trust also holds other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities. The fair value of these liabilities approximates the carrying amounts in the accompanying financial statements due to the short maturity of such instruments.

12

The following table presents information about the GUC Trust’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and the valuation techniques used by the GUC Trust to determine those fair values.

Liabilities:
Liquidating distributions payable	$	16,555	$	—	$	—	$	16,555

The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

• Due to its short-term, liquid nature, the fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

• Holdings of New GM Securities are valued at closing prices reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.

• Marketable securities include municipal commercial paper and variable demand notes and corporate commercial paper. Municipal variable demand notes trade daily at par value and, therefore, their fair value is equal to par value. Due to their short term maturities, the fair value of municipal and corporate commercial paper approximates their carrying value.

• Liquidating distributions payable are valued at closing prices of New GM Securities reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.

The GUC Trust’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the actual date of the event of change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no such transfers during the three or nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

7. Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation and Residual Wind-Down Claims

The following is a summary of the activity in the reserves for expected costs of liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three months ended December 31, 2013

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs (for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation) increased by $578,000 and $68,000, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs decreased by $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs each increased by approximately $6.8 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs increased by $7.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Such revisions in the estimates were recorded as additions to (reductions in) the reserves for expected costs of liquidation in such periods. The GUC Trust has recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation that represent amounts expected to be incurred over the estimated remaining liquidation period of the GUC Trust for which there was a reasonable basis for estimation as of December 31, 2013.

The amount of liquidation costs that will ultimately be incurred depends both on that time period and on the extent of activities required for the GUC Trust to complete its functions and responsibilities under the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement. Significant uncertainty remains both as to that time period and as to the extent of those activities. As of December 31, 2013, the recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation reflect estimated costs for a remaining liquidation period extending through December 31, 2016, which has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis as permitted under U.S. GAAP and which the GUC Trust believes is the most appropriate measurement basis under the circumstances. The remaining liquidation period is dependent predominantly on the estimate of the remaining period of time for resolution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, as well as certain additional estimated time as necessary to wind down the GUC Trust. In addition, certain liquidation costs that are expected to be prepaid by the GUC Trust upon its dissolution have also been estimated and accrued. It is reasonably possible that the GUC Trust’s estimates regarding the costs and remaining liquidation period could change in the near term.

The following is a summary of the activity in the reserves for Residual Wind-Down Claims for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

8. Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

The income tax (provision) benefit in the Condensed Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was determined by computing the deferred tax provisions for the interim periods using the GUC Trust’s statutory tax rate of 39.6% that became effective on April 1, 2013. There was no current tax provision in any of such periods. An annual effective tax rate is not determinable because the GUC Trust’s only significant source of income is gains on distributions of New GM Securities, which are not determinable until realized.

The components of the income tax (provision) benefit in the Condensed Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2013			2012			2013		2012
Current	$	—		$	—		$	—	$	—
Deferred		(32,183	)		(172,039	)		132,662		(83,774	)
Total	$	(32,183	)	$	(172,039	)	$	132,662	$	(83,774	)

Deferred taxes in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at December 31, 2013, are comprised of the following components:

Deferred tax assets:
Reserves for expected costs of liquidation	$	14,807
Net operating losses		107,812
Total deferred tax assets		122,619
Deferred tax liabilities:
Fair value in excess of tax basis of holdings of New GM Securities		(154,802	)
Total deferred tax liability		(154,802	)
Net deferred tax liability	$	(32,183	)

As previously disclosed in the GUC Trust’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the tax position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. As a result, a tax benefit of $411.6 million (net of establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $103.9 million) related to the new tax position was recognized in the financial statements during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The benefit was recognized because the GUC Trust believed, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it was more likely than not that the new tax position will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service, based on the technical merits of the position. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position. Such new tax position, however, as of the date hereof, has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets referred to above of $103.9 million that was established in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, was reversed during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Such reversal was due to anticipated taxable gains exceeding deductible items primarily as a result of utilization of net operating loss carryovers in the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Such net operating loss carryovers were utilized as a result of the generation of taxable gains from the sale and distribution of New GM Securities during the quarter. Realization of the deferred tax assets is solely dependent upon the generation of taxable gains upon the distribution or sale of New GM Securities in the future, which is not determinable prior to occurrence.

16

As of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust has cumulative net operating losses for tax purposes of $272.3 million (resulting in a deferred tax asset of $107.8 million) after giving effect to the new tax position with respect to the tax basis of New GM Securities described above.

9. Related Party Transactions

In addition to serving as GUC Trust Administrator, Wilmington Trust Company continues to serve as trustee pursuant to the indentures for certain series of previously outstanding debt of MLC. Wilmington Trust Company has received and may continue to receive certain customary fees in amounts consistent with Wilmington Trust Company’s standard rates for such service. The Bankruptcy Court previously approved the creation of a segregated fund for the purposes of funding such fees for Wilmington Trust Company, as well as the other indenture trustees and fiscal and paying agents for previously outstanding debt of MLC. There were no such fees for Wilmington Trust Company during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

In addition, Wilmington Trust Company has also entered into certain arrangements with the GUC Trust pursuant to which it or its affiliates have previously received, and may in the future receive, reasonable and customary fees and commissions for services other than services in the capacity of GUC Trust Administrator. Such arrangements include the provision of custodial, investment advisory and brokerage services to the GUC Trust. The fees and commissions charged by Wilmington Trust Company and its affiliates pursuant to these arrangements are consistent with the standard fees and commissions charged by Wilmington Trust Company to unrelated third-parties in negotiated transactions. During the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, the total amount of such fees and commissions was approximately $12,000 and $49,000, respectively. During the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012, the total amount of such fees and commissions was approximately $30,000 and $94,000, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

The following addresses material changes in the net assets in liquidation of the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust, or the GUC Trust, for its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013. It is intended to be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements of the GUC Trust included in Item 1 above, which we refer to as the financial statements. For additional information about the purpose and administrative operations of the GUC Trust, see the disclosure in the notes to the financial statements filed with this Form 10-Q and in the Form 10-K filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013. A glossary of defined terms used in this Form 10-Q is provided under the heading “—Glossary” below.

Overview

The GUC Trust is a successor to Motors Liquidation Company (which dissolved on December 15, 2011), or MLC, within the meaning of Section 1145 of title 11 of the United States Code, or the Bankruptcy Code. The GUC Trust was initially formed on March 30, 2011, for the purposes of implementing the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan, or the Plan, of MLC and its affiliated debtors-in-possession, or the Debtors, which was filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, or the Bankruptcy Court, on March 18, 2011. The Plan subsequently became effective on March 31, 2011, or the Effective Date, and, on April 18, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the GUC Trust’s request for entry of a final decree administratively closing each of the Chapter 11 cases of the Debtors other than the Chapter 11 case of MLC.

Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust

The functions and responsibilities of the GUC Trust are governed by the Plan and the Amended and Restated Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2012, as subsequently amended, or the GUC Trust Agreement. The GUC Trust is administered by Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as trust administrator and trustee, or the GUC Trust Administrator. As set forth in the GUC Trust Agreement, the activities of the GUC Trust Administrator are overseen by FTI Consulting, Inc., solely in its capacity as trust monitor of the GUC Trust, or the GUC Trust Monitor. Although the GUC Trust has no officers, directors or employees, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized by the GUC Trust Agreement to engage professionals and other service providers to assist the GUC Trust Administrator in the administration of the GUC Trust. Accordingly, the GUC Trust and GUC Trust Administrator rely on receiving accurate information, reports and other representations from such professionals and service providers and from the GUC Trust Monitor.

Among its other duties and obligations, the GUC Trust is obligated pursuant to the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement (i) to distribute the assets comprising the corpus of the GUC Trust to satisfy the general unsecured claims against the Debtors that are allowed pursuant to the Plan, or the Allowed General Unsecured Claims, (ii) to prosecute and resolve objections to the general

17

unsecured claims against the Debtors that are disputed at a given time, or Disputed General Unsecured Claims, (iii) to take all necessary actions to administer the wind-down of the affairs of the Debtors, and (iv) to resolve and satisfy (to the extent allowed) the Residual Wind-Down Claims (as defined below) assumed by the GUC Trust.

Distributions and Distributable Assets of the GUC Trust

The principal assets comprising the corpus of the GUC Trust are (i) shares of common stock of General Motors Company, or the New GM Common Stock, (ii) warrants to acquire shares of New GM Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, expiring July 10, 2016, or the New GM Series A Warrants, and (iii) warrants to acquire shares of New GM Common Stock at an exercise price of $18.33 per share, expiring July 10, 2019, or the New GM Series B Warrants. The New GM Series A Warrants and the New GM Series B Warrants are referred to collectively as the New GM Warrants, and the New GM Common Stock and the New GM Warrants are referred to collectively as the New GM Securities.

The Plan generally provides for the distribution of New GM Securities to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pro rata by the amount of such claims. In that regard, the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will obtain, in addition to an initial distribution of New GM Securities in such numbers as described below, a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (only if and to the extent such New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required to satisfy new Allowed General Unsecured Claims or to fund the liquidation and administrative costs or income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust) and cash, if any, available for distribution to the holders of such rights. Such rights are represented by units of beneficial interests in the GUC Trust, or GUC Trust Units, distributed to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in proportion to the amount of their claims, subject to certain rounding rules set forth in the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust is required to make quarterly distributions to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Under the terms of the Plan and subject to rounding under the Plan, the GUC Trust Agreement and the rules of applicable clearing system, following the Special Excess Distribution (as defined below), each $1,000 in amount of such new Allowed General Unsecured Claims is entitled to receive (upon delivery of any information required by the GUC Trust) an initial distribution of 4.19 shares of New GM Common Stock, 3.81 New GM Series A Warrants and 3.81 New GM Series B Warrants, as well as one GUC Trust Unit. Quarterly distributions are made as promptly as practicable after the first day of the fiscal quarter following the periods ending each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, during the life of the GUC Trust.

In addition to the foregoing, the Trust is required to make quarterly distributions in respect of GUC Trust Units if Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets (as defined below) at the end of the preceding fiscal quarter exceed certain thresholds set forth in the Trust Agreement. Such distributions in respect of GUC Trust Units, if any, are made as promptly as practicable after the periods ending each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets means (i) New GM Securities (only if and to the extent such New GM Securities (a) are not required for the satisfaction of new Allowed General Unsecured Claims and (b) have not been set aside from distribution to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs or potential income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust (as described below under “—Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution”) and (ii) Other Administrative Cash (as defined below) available, if any, for distribution to the holders of GUC Trust Units.

Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs

As of the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, MLC funded approximately $52.7 million in cash to the GUC Trust, or the Administrative Fund, to be held and maintained by the GUC Trust Administrator primarily for the purpose of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust, including the fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor and the fees and expenses of other professionals retained by the GUC Trust, which are referred to as the Wind-Down Costs. The United States Department of the Treasury and the Governments of Canada and Ontario (through Export Development Canada), which are referred to collectively as the DIP Lenders, maintain a lien on the Administrative Fund which relates to certain funds advanced at the commencement of the Debtors’ insolvency proceedings. Consequently, pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, any cash or investments from the Administrative Fund which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $14.2 million remained in the Administrative Fund and is recorded in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other assets & deposits in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. Of that amount, approximately $8.8 million has been separately designated for the satisfaction of certain costs and liabilities of the GUC Trust (other than Reporting Costs, as defined below) and $5.4 million is available for other Wind-Down Costs which funds must be exhausted prior to the use of any Other Administrative Cash for such purposes. As described above, any cash or investments from the Administrative Fund which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders.

18

The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the Administrative Fund may not be utilized to fund certain specified costs, fees and expenses, which are referred to as Reporting Costs, including those directly or indirectly relating to (i) reports to be prepared and filed by the GUC Trust pursuant to applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, (ii) the transfer, registration for transfer and certification of GUC Trust Units, (iii) the application by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 cases of the Debtors, or the Committee, to the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling regarding the tax treatment of the GUC Trust and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in respect of the distribution of New GM Securities, which is discussed in more detail below under the heading “—Income Tax Liabilities for Certain Capital Gains,” and (iv) certain legal proceedings relating to the Term Loan Avoidance Action (as defined below). In addition, the Administrative Fund cannot be used to fund any current or projected income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust. However, the GUC Trust Agreement does provide the GUC Trust Administrator with the authority to set aside from distribution and sell New GM Securities to fund such Reporting Costs and projected income tax liabilities, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and/or the GUC Trust Monitor, in each case as described below.

The GUC Trust Agreement affords the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, the authority to set aside from distribution New GM Securities in numbers sufficient to satisfy (i) any current or projected Wind-Down Costs of the GUC Trust that exceed the amounts budgeted in the Administrative Fund, (ii) any current or projected Reporting Costs that exceed the then currently available funds, or (iii) any current or projected income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust. This process is not related to, and is separate from, the process of recognizing current and deferred income tax liabilities, as well as reserves for expected costs of liquidation in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as a matter of financial reporting, which is only required for expected costs of liquidation for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation under applicable accounting standards. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation” and “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Income Taxes” below.

The GUC Trust Administrator may liquidate New GM Securities that have been set aside from distribution to fund (with the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court) the current or projected Wind-Down Costs or Reporting Costs of the GUC Trust and (with the required approval of the GUC Trust Monitor) current and projected income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust. The cash proceeds of such sales, and the marketable securities in which such cash proceeds are invested, are referred to as Other Administrative Cash. Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, any cash or investments constituting Other Administrative Cash which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust will be distributed to the holders of GUC Trust Units. The Bankruptcy Court has previously, in March 2012, and again in December 2012, approved the sale of New GM Securities to fund certain accrued and projected Wind-Down Costs which were in excess of the amounts budgeted in the Administrative Fund for such costs, and certain projected Reporting Costs. Through March 31, 2013, sales of New GM Securities to fund projected Reporting Costs and Wind-Down Costs aggregated approximately $50.2 million, including the Initial Reporting Cash, and no such sales have subsequently occurred. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $14.9 million remained in Other Administrative Cash and was recorded in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013.

Residual Wind-Down Claims

In addition to resolving Disputed General Unsecured Claims, the GUC Trust Administrator is required to resolve and satisfy (to the extent allowed) certain disputed administrative expenses, priority tax claims, priority non-tax claims, and secured claims against the Debtors, or the Residual Wind-Down Claims. Upon the dissolution and winding up of MLC on December 15, 2011, or the Dissolution Date, the GUC Trust assumed responsibility for the resolution and satisfaction (to the extent allowed) of such Residual Wind-Down Claims. At that time, MLC transferred assets to the GUC Trust, or the Residual Wind-Down Assets, in an amount sufficient, based upon the Debtors’ reasonable estimates, to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims and the costs, fees and expenses related to satisfying and resolving the Residual Wind-Down Claims, or the Residual Wind-Down Costs. The Residual Wind-Down Assets so transferred approximated $42.8 million, consisting of approximately $40.0 million in cash (including approximately $1.4 million for the payment of certain defense costs related to the Term Loan Avoidance Action, or Avoidance Action Defense Costs) and the transferred benefit of approximately $2.8 million in prepaid expenses. Including costs accrued as of December 31, 2013, the amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs incurred to date exceeds the corresponding cash of $1.4 million received by the GUC Trust from MLC on the Dissolution Date by approximately $69,000. As a result, a new Residual Wind-Down Claim has arisen in the amount of such excess. The Term Loan Avoidance Action is currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and it is expected that additional Avoidance Action Defense Costs will be incurred for which additional Residual Wind-Down Claims will arise, to be paid from the other remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of such assets, Other Administrative Cash or the sale of New GM Securities.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement and the Plan, the Residual Wind-Down Assets are to be administered in accordance with the GUC Trust Agreement and Plan and are to be used to satisfy and resolve the Residual Wind-Down Claims and to fund the Residual Wind-Down Costs and Avoidance Action Defense Costs. Any unused portions of the Residual Wind-Down Assets must be returned to the DIP Lenders and will not be available for distribution to the holders of GUC Trust Units at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust. If, collectively, the actual amounts of Residual Wind-Down Claims allowed, the Residual Wind-Down

19

Costs and the Avoidance Action Defense Costs exceed the Residual Wind-Down Assets, the GUC Trust Administrator may be required to set aside from distribution and sell additional New GM Securities to fund any shortfall in Residual Wind-Down Costs and Avoidance Action Defense Costs. Any such sale of securities would reduce the numbers of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units.

As of December 31, 2013, Residual Wind-Down Assets aggregating $31.2 million were held by the GUC Trust (including $0.4 million of the original $1.4 million earmarked for Avoidance Action Defense Costs) and were recorded in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other assets & deposits in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013. A corresponding amount in the aggregate is recorded in the reserve for Residual Wind-Down Claims, reserves for expected costs of liquidation and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013. By comparison, there were approximately $13.2 million in Residual Wind-Down Claims against such assets as of December 31, 2013, subject to increase for new Residual Wind-Down Claims that are expected to arise with respect to Avoidance Action Defense Costs.

Other Assets Received from MLC on the Dissolution Date

In addition to the Residual Wind-Down Assets, the GUC Trust also received on the Dissolution Date approximately $3.4 million in cash from MLC , which amount included: (i) approximately $2.0 million designated for Reporting Costs and (ii) approximately $1.4 million designated for reimbursements to indenture trustees and fiscal and paying agents under the Debtors’ prepetition debt issuances for costs associated with, among other things, administering distributions to registered holders of the debtors’ prepetition debt issuances. or Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agents Costs. Any unused portion of such funds designated for Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agents Costs must be returned to the DIP Lenders and will not be available for distribution to the holders of GUC Trust Units at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust. As of December 31, 2013, funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agents Costs of $0.5 million were held by the GUC Trust and are recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013. A corresponding amount was recorded in the reserves for expected costs of liquidation in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013. None of the approximately $2.0 million in funds designated for Reporting Costs remained as of December 31, 2013.

Income Tax Liabilities for Certain Capital Gains

Upon the dissolution and winding-up of MLC on the Dissolution Date, record ownership of all undistributed New GM Securities was transferred to the GUC Trust. Using the value of the New GM Securities as of that date, the tax basis per share or warrant of the New GM Securities on the Dissolution Date was $19.87 for the New GM Common Stock, $11.38 for the New GM Series A Warrants and $7.88 for the New GM Series B Warrants. Prior to the year ended March 31, 2013, such tax basis was used in the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return to determine the taxable gain or loss on the disposition of New GM Securities since their transfer. As described in Note 8, “Income Tax Benefit (Provision)” to the financial statements, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. As a result, a tax benefit of $411.6 million (net of establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $103.9 million, which valuation allowance was subsequently reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2013, as described below) related to the new tax position was recognized in the GUC Trust’s financial statements during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The benefit was recognized because the GUC Trust believed, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it was more likely than not that the new tax position in the amounts to be reflected in the GUC Trust’s income tax returns, will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service, based on the technical merits of the position. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position. This new tax position, however, as of the date hereof, has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

As mentioned above, the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $103.9 million that was established in the three months ended September 30, 2013, was reversed during the three months ended December 31, 2013 due to anticipated taxable gains exceeding deductible items, primarily as a result of utilization of net operating loss carryovers in the three months ended December 31, 2013. Such net operating loss carryovers were utilized during the three months ended December 31, 2013, as a result of the generation of taxable gains from the sale and distribution of New GM Securities during the quarter.

20

The GUC Trust incurs income tax liabilities on any capital gains realized upon the disposition of New GM Securities to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or GUC Trust Units (unless such capital gains are offset by deductible operating losses). The GUC Trust records any current taxes payable from such realized gains (net of deductible operating losses) and deferred tax liabilities at the end of each quarter for all of the New GM Securities that it then holds, where the market prices of such New GM Securities exceed their tax basis. (Prior to September 30, 2013, such tax basis was based on date of transfer of record ownership and since September 30, 2013, such tax basis is based on date of transfer of beneficial ownership.) Where the market prices of the New GM Securities held at quarter end are less than their tax basis, a deferred tax asset with a corresponding valuation allowance is recorded, resulting in no net deferred tax asset at such quarter end. A full valuation allowance is recorded under such circumstances, because realization of the deferred tax asset is uncertain (in that it is dependent upon the generation of taxable gains upon the sale or distribution of New GM Securities in the future, which is not determinable prior to occurrence). Because the amounts of any deferred tax liability recorded at any quarter end is dependent upon the market prices of the New GM Securities held at such quarter end, fluctuations in such market prices will result in fluctuations in the deferred tax liability recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and in the income tax provision or benefit recorded in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for such quarter. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Income Taxes” and “—Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation” below.

Term Loan Avoidance Action

On July 31, 2009, the Committee commenced a legal action against certain prepetition lenders of the Debtors, styled as Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al. (Adv. Pro. No. 09-00504 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009)), which is referred to as the Term Loan Avoidance Action. The Term Loan Avoidance Action seeks the return to a trust established for the purpose of holding and prosecuting the Term Loan Avoidance Action, or the Avoidance Action Trust, of approximately $1.5 billion that had been transferred to a consortium of prepetition lenders of the Debtors, pursuant to the court order approving the debtor-in-possession loans made by the DIP Lenders to MLC. On the Dissolution Date, the Term Loan Avoidance Action was transferred the Avoidance Action Trust. The rights to substantially all of the recoveries on the Term Loan Avoidance Action through the Avoidance Action Trust, if any, are currently under dispute, with both the DIP Lenders and the Committee, on behalf of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, claiming to be the proper beneficiaries of such proceeds. If the DIP Lenders are deemed to be proper beneficiaries of the proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, then the bulk of any amounts reclaimed from prepetition lenders will be distributed to the DIP Lenders; and if the Committee, on behalf of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, are deemed to be proper beneficiaries of the proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, then the bulk of any amounts reclaimed from prepetition lenders will be distributed directly to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of such proceedings, in no event will any amounts reclaimed from the prepetition lenders be transferred to the GUC Trust, and no such amounts will be distributed to holders of GUC Trust Units in respect of such GUC Trust Units.

If Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as the trustee and trust administrator of the Avoidance Action Trust, which we refer to as the Avoidance Action Trust Administrator, is successful in its prosecution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, any amounts recovered by the Avoidance Action Trust will, pursuant to the Plan, give rise to Allowed General Unsecured Claims on behalf of the prepetition lenders from which such amounts were recovered (as beneficiaries of the GUC Trust), which are also referred to as Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims. (As used in this Form 10-Q, the amounts of “Disputed General Unsecured Claims” do not include any potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims.) Unless and until Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims arise, the potential holders of such claims will not be entitled to receive a distribution from the GUC Trust. However, if and to the extent that such Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims do arise, the holders of such claims will be entitled to receive a distribution from the GUC Trust. As noted above, in no event will any funds reclaimed from the prepetition lenders be transferred to the GUC Trust or be distributed to holders of GUC Trust Units in respect of such GUC Trust Units. Accordingly, in the event of the successful prosecution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action by the Avoidance Action Trust, a holder of a GUC Trust Unit that does not hold a corresponding Allowed General Unsecured Claim (because such holder received the GUC Trust Unit as a subsequent transferee and not in a direct distribution from the GUC Trust in satisfaction of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim) will potentially have its recovery diluted through the incurrence of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims by the GUC Trust, without receiving the benefit of any cash recovered pursuant to the Term Loan Avoidance Action. Moreover, because the ownership of the beneficial interests in the Avoidance Action Trust is currently under dispute, even a holder of a GUC Trust Unit that also holds a corresponding Allowed General Unsecured Claim may not benefit from any funds recovered under the Term Loan Avoidance Action.

Pursuant to the Plan, the GUC Trust is obligated to satisfy Avoidance Action Defense Costs, subject to the right of the GUC Trust to seek disgorgement in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As described under the heading “—Residual Wind-Down Claims” above, including costs accrued as of December 31, 2013, the amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs incurred to date exceeds the amount of Residual Wind-Down Assets received from MLC which was designated for this purpose by approximately $69,000. As a result, a new Residual Wind-Down Claim has arisen in the amount of such excess. The Term Loan Avoidance Action is currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and it is expected that additional Avoidance Action

21

Defense Costs will be incurred for which additional Residual Wind-Down Claims will arise, to be paid from the other remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of such assets, Other Administrative Cash or the sale of New GM Securities. As of December 31, 2013, the amount of the remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets specifically earmarked for Avoidance Action Defense Costs was approximately $0.4 million and is recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013. A corresponding amount is recorded in the aggregate in reserves for expected costs of liquidation and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation as of December 31, 2013.

Recent Trading Prices of New GM Securities

As described above, the principal assets comprising the corpus of the GUC Trust are shares of the New GM Common Stock and the New GM Series A Warrants and New GM Series B Warrants to purchase such common stock. As a result, fluctuations in the market value of the New GM Common Stock (and related fluctuation in market value of the New GM Warrants) will increase or reduce the GUC Trust’s net assets in liquidation accordingly. In addition, fluctuations in the market value of the New GM Securities in relation to the tax basis of such securities will affect the amount of net deferred tax and other liabilities, if any, that are recorded in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. See “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Income Tax Liabilities for Certain Capital Gains” above.

The New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As of December 31, 2013, the closing trading price of shares of New GM Common Stock was $40.87 (as compared to $35.97 at September 30, 2013, the last trading day before the end of the fiscal quarter and $27.82 as of March 28, 2013, the last trading day before the end of that fiscal quarter); the closing trading price of New GM Series A Warrants was $31.14 (as compared to $26.42 as of September 30, 2013, and $18.5599 as of March 28, 2013); and the closing trading price of New GM Series B Warrants was $23.12 (as compared to $18.60 as of September 30, 2013, and $11.79 as of March 28, 2013), in each case as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. The GUC Trust Units are not listed on any securities exchange.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

The GUC Trust was created for the purposes described in Note 1 (“Description of Trust and Reporting Policies”) to the financial statements and has a finite life. As a result, the GUC Trust has prepared its financial statements on the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Under the liquidation basis of accounting as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted amount of cash into which an asset is expected to be converted during liquidation, while liabilities continue to be recognized at the amount required by other U.S. GAAP, and are not remeasured to reflect any anticipation that an entity will be legally released from an obligation. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, a reserve is established for estimated costs expected to be incurred during liquidation. Such costs are accrued when there is a reasonable basis for estimation. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. As described below under the heading “—Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation,” it is reasonably possible that estimates for such expected costs of liquidation could change in the near term.

The valuation of assets at net realizable value, reserves for Residual Wind-Down Claims and reserves for expected costs of liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances known to the GUC Trust Administrator, and are subject to change.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the GUC Trust beneficiaries are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units. As Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved and allowed and thereby become Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the holders thereof become entitled to receive liquidating distributions of New GM Securities and GUC Trust Units pro rata by the amount of such Claims and, upon such occurrence, the GUC Trust incurs an obligation to distribute such securities. Accordingly, liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of such New GM Securities) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2 to the financial statements, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence. Prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims). Rather, the beneficial interests of GUC Trust beneficiaries in the residual assets of the GUC Trust are reflected in Net Assets in Liquidation of the GUC Trust in the financial statements.

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the GUC Trust presents two principal financial statements: a Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and a Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. In addition, although not required under the liquidation basis of accounting, the GUC Trust also presents a Statement of Cash Flows, in accordance with the requirements of the GUC Trust Agreement.

Holdings of New GM Securities

Holdings of New GM Securities represent the GUC Trust’s holdings of New GM Securities held for future distribution in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the GUC Trust Units, and include numbers of New GM Securities set aside from distribution to fund projected administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities as described below under “—Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution.” The securities held consist of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants. The GUC Trust has valued its holdings in the securities at their fair value based on quoted closing market prices as of the last trading day of the fiscal period.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of short term investments in corporate commercial paper and municipal government commercial paper and variable demand notes. The GUC Trust has valued these securities at fair value based on carrying value for municipal and corporate commercial paper where carrying value approximates fair value and par value for variable demand notes where par value equals fair value.

Reserves for Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Costs

Upon the dissolution of MLC, which occurred on December 15, 2011, the GUC Trust became responsible for resolving and satisfying (to the extent allowed) all remaining Residual Wind-Down Claims. On the date of dissolution of the Debtors, the Debtors

23

transferred to the GUC Trust Residual Wind-Down Assets in an amount necessary to satisfy the ultimate allowed amount of such Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Costs, as well as certain Avoidance Action Defense Costs, in each case as estimated by the Debtors. The amounts so transferred were credited to the reserve for Residual Wind-Down Claims and reserves for expected costs of liquidation. Should the Residual Wind-Down Costs, the Residual Wind-Down Claims and the Avoidance Action Defense Costs be less than the Residual Wind-Down Assets, any excess funds will be returned to the DIP Lenders. If, collectively, the actual amounts of Residual Wind-Down Claims allowed, the Residual Wind-Down Costs and the Avoidance Action Defense Costs exceed the Residual Wind-Down Assets, the GUC Trust Administrator may be required to set aside from distribution and sell additional New GM Securities to fund the shortfall. Any such sale of securities would reduce the numbers of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units.

Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the GUC Trust is required to estimate and accrue the costs associated with implementing the Plan and distributing the GUC Trust’s distributable assets. These costs consist principally of professional fees, costs of governance, and other administrative expenses. These amounts may vary significantly due to, among other things, the time and effort required to complete all distributions under the Plan. The GUC Trust has recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation that represent estimated costs to be incurred over the remaining liquidation period of the GUC Trust for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation. The amount of liquidation costs that will ultimately be incurred depends both on the period of time and on the extent of activities required for the GUC Trust to complete its functions and responsibilities under the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement. Significant uncertainty remains both as to that time period and as to the extent of those activities. As of December 31, 2013, such remaining liquidation period has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis, which the GUC Trust believes is the most appropriate measurement basis under the circumstances, and is dependent predominantly on the estimate of the remaining period of time for resolution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, as well as certain additional estimated time as necessary to wind down the GUC Trust. It is reasonably possible that the GUC Trust’s estimates regarding the costs and remaining liquidation period could change in the near term. As the GUC Trust incurs such costs, the reserves are released to offset the costs incurred and a liability to the service provider is recognized as an accounts payable or accrued expense until paid. In addition, because the GUC Trust only records reserves for expected costs for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation under applicable generally accepted accounting principles, additional costs may be identified from time to time for which additional reserves must be recorded. As such costs are identified, the GUC Trust records an increase to its reserves and charges such increase as an addition to such reserves in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

The process of recognizing reserves for expected costs of liquidation as a matter of financial reporting is separate and distinct from the process by which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution for the purposes of funding projected costs of liquidation. Such projected costs are generally estimated on a more conservative (i.e., more inclusive) basis and include contingencies that are not permitted to be accrued in reserves for expected costs of liquidation under applicable accounting standards. For a more complete description of the process of setting aside New GM Securities to fund projected costs and potential liabilities of the GUC Trust, see “Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs” above and “Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution” below.

Income Taxes

The GUC Trust is considered to be a “Disputed Ownership Fund” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9. Because all of the assets that have been transferred to the GUC Trust are passive investments, the GUC Trust will be taxed as a Qualified Settlement Fund (or QSF) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-9(c)(1)(ii). The QSF tax status of the GUC Trust has been approved by the Internal Revenue Service in a private letter ruling issued on March 2, 2011. In general, a QSF is considered to be a C Corporation but pays Federal income tax using trust income tax rates on its modified gross income. Modified gross income includes gross income pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 61 less administrative expenses, certain losses from the sale, exchange or worthlessness of property, and net operating losses. In general, a Disputed Ownership Fund taxed as a QSF does not recognize gross income on assets transferred to it; therefore, the GUC Trust has not recognized gross income on the transfer of assets from MLC.

The GUC Trust is currently expected to generate gross income in the form of interest and dividend income and recognize gains and/or losses upon its disposition of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants which it now holds, which will be reduced by administrative expenses and any accumulated net operating losses, to compute modified gross income. As the GUC Trust is taxable for Federal income tax purposes, a current income tax liability or asset, if any, is recognized for estimated taxes payable or receivable for the year. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary.

24

The GUC Trust is not subject to state income taxes under current law. Accordingly, no current or deferred state income tax liabilities and assets are recorded.

The GUC Trust recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position, review of available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals. As of December 31, 2013, there are no known items which would result in a significant accrual for uncertain tax positions.

The income tax provision for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was determined by computing the deferred tax provision using the enacted statutory rate of 39.6% that went into effect for the GUC Trust’s fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2013. There was no current tax provision in any periods. An annual effective tax rate is not determinable because the GUC Trust’s only significant source of income is gains on dispositions of New GM Securities, which are not determinable until realized.

The process of recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities and any current income taxes payable as a matter of financial reporting is separate and distinct from the process by which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution for the purposes of funding potential income tax liabilities. Such potential income tax liabilities are generally estimated on a more conservative (i.e., more inclusive) basis and include amounts of potential income tax liabilities beyond the amounts that are permitted to be recorded under applicable accounting standards. For a more complete description of the process of setting aside New GM Securities to fund projected costs and potential income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust, see “Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs” above and “Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution” below.

Funding Obligation to the Avoidance Action Trust

Based on an analysis of the Avoidance Action Trust and its potential funding sources, the GUC Trust Administrator, in conjunction with the Avoidance Action Trust Administrator, determined that it would be in the best interest of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims to fund certain fees, costs and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As described in Note 2 (“Plan of Liquidation”) to the financial statements, in March 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of New GM Securities aggregating approximately $13.7 million and the transfer of the resulting proceeds to the Avoidance Action Trust for such funding. The sale occurred in March 2012 and the proceeds were transferred from the GUC Trust to the Avoidance Action Trust on May 14, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements on a liquidation basis in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related footnotes. Significant estimates include the anticipated amounts and timing of future cash flows for expected costs of liquidation, Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Costs, and fair value of marketable securities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

In April 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods therein. The GUC Trust will adopt the provisions of this standard on April 1, 2014 and does not expect such adoption to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, net assets in liquidation decreased by approximately $746.3 million, from approximately $2,077.5 million to approximately $1,331.2 million, principally as a result of liquidating distributions of New GM Securities of approximately $1,067.1 million and the recording of an income tax provision of $32.2 million as described below, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of holdings of New GM Securities since September 30, 2013, of approximately $353.7 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, net assets in liquidation decreased by approximately $59.0 million, from approximately $1,390.2 million to approximately $1,331.2 million, principally as a result of liquidating distributions of New GM

25

Securities of $1,167.9 million, largely offset by an increase in the fair value of holdings of New GM Securities since March 31, 2013, of approximately $968.7 million and the recording of an income tax benefit of $132.7 million as described below. As noted above in “—Recent Trading Prices of New GM Securities,” the closing trading price of New GM Common Stock, as well as the New GM Series A and New GM Series B Warrants, increased between the last trading day of the quarter ended September 30, 2013, and the last trading day of the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and increased from the last trading day of the year ended March 31, 2013, to the last trading day of the nine months ended December 31, 2013.

The liquidating distributions of New GM Securities during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 were primarily comprised of the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution (as defined below) of approximately $527.5 million and the Special Excess Distribution (as defined below) of approximately $614.8 million, each of which occurred pursuant to and following the effectiveness of the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement (as defined below) on November 25, 2013. Additional distributions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 consisted of distributions to holders of allowed Disputed General Unsecured Claims (exclusive of the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution), and distributions to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who previously failed to fulfill informational requirements for distribution established in accordance with the GUC Trust Agreement, but subsequently successfully fulfilled such information requirements. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the related Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Net assets in liquidation in the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, were also reduced as a result of additions to reserves for expected costs of liquidation of approximately $0.6 million, and net assets in liquidation in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013, were increased as a result of reductions in reserves for expected costs of liquidation of $7.6 million. As described below in more detail in “—Liquidation and Administrative Costs,” these changes in the reserves for expected costs of liquidation resulted primarily from changes in expected Wind-Down Costs during the three months ended December 31, 2013, and in both expected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting Costs during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, under generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the GUC Trust. (The process of recognizing reserves as a matter of financial reporting is separate and distinct from the process by which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution for the purposes of funding projected administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities. See “Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution” below.)

The income tax provision of $32.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and the income tax benefit of $132.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, resulted from increases and decreases, respectively, in the net deferred tax liability during those periods. The increase in the net deferred tax liability for the three months ended December 31, 2013, primarily resulted from a decrease in deferred tax assets due to utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the current period against realized taxable gains from liquidating distributions of New GM Securities, partially offset primarily by the reversal of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $103.9 million established during the prior quarter. Such valuation was reversed due to anticipated taxable gains exceeding deductible items primarily as a result of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the current period. The increase in the net deferred tax liability for the three months ended December 31, 2013 also resulted from an increase in the fair value in excess of tax basis of New GM Securities held by the GUC Trust resulting from the increase in the fair value of New GM Securities during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the net deferred tax liability in the nine months ended December 31, 2013, primarily resulted from the recognition of a tax benefit associated with a new tax position that has been taken in the GUC Trust’s U.S. federal income tax returns.

As described in Note 8 (“Income Tax (Provision) Benefit”) to the financial statements, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the tax position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date, instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. As a result, a tax benefit of $411.6 million (net of establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $103.9 million) related to the new tax position was recognized in the financial statements during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The benefit was recognized because the GUC Trust believed, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it was more likely than not that the new tax position in the amounts to be reflected in the GUC Trust’s income tax returns, will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service, based on the technical merits of the position. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position. Such new tax position, however, as of the date hereof, has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Such income tax benefit was partly offset by a reduction in deferred tax assets resulting from utilization of net operating loss carryovers during the nine months ended December 31, 2013 and an increase in the deferred tax liability caused by an increase in the fair value in excess of tax basis of New GM Securities held by the GUC Trust resulting from the increase in the fair value of New GM Securities during the nine months ended December 31, 2013. See “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Income Tax Liabilities for Certain Capital Gains” above and Note 8 (“Income Tax Provision”) to the financial statements.

26

The changes in net assets in liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, also reflect approximately $16,000 and $56,000, respectively, of interest and dividend income earned on cash and short term investments held by the GUC Trust to pay certain future expenses.

Liquidation and Administrative Costs

As discussed above under “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates,” under the liquidation basis of accounting, the GUC Trust was required upon its establishment to record reserves in respect of its expected costs associated with implementing the Plan and distributing the GUC Trust’s distributable assets. These costs consist principally of professional fees, governance costs and other liquidation and administrative costs.

Under U.S. GAAP, these reserves may be established only to the extent there is a reasonable basis for their estimation. From time to time, as additional costs are identified and for which there is reasonable basis for estimation, the GUC Trust records an increase to its reserves for expected costs of liquidation and charges such increase as an addition to reserves for expected costs of liquidation in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation. As costs are actually incurred by the GUC Trust, such costs reduce the previously recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation by the amount of such incurred costs, with no further effect on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation.

The GUC Trust’s reserves for liquidation and administrative costs (recorded in conformity with U.S. GAAP) are allocable into the following categories:

• reserve for expected Wind-Down Costs, corresponding to expenditures to be made out of the Administrative Fund and, following the depletion of the Administrative Fund, Other Administrative Cash (see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs”);

• reserve for expected Reporting Costs, corresponding to expenditures to be made out of Other Administrative Cash (see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs”);

• reserve for Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs, corresponding to expenditures to be made out of the cash received by the GUC Trust from MLC on the Dissolution Date (see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Other Assets Received from MLC on the Dissolution Date”);

• reserve for Avoidance Action Defense Costs, corresponding to expenditures to be made out of Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of such assets, Other Administrative Cash (see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Residual Wind-Down Claims” and “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Term Loan Avoidance Action”); and

• reserve for Residual Wind-Down Costs, corresponding (in addition to expenditures to satisfy and resolve Residual Wind-Down Claims) to expenditures to be made out of Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of the Residual Wind-Down Assets, Other Administrative Cash (see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Residual Wind-Down Claims”).

As described in greater detail under “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust” above and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below, unused portions of certain of the assets associated with the foregoing reserves are required to be returned to the DIP Lenders upon the winding up and dissolution of the GUC Trust. Therefore, such assets are not available to fund costs of liquidation and administration or income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust, and are also not available for distribution to the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims or GUC Trust Units. See “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs,” “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Residual Wind-Down Claims” and “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Other Assets Received from MLC on the Dissolution Date.”

27

As of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust had approximately $39.4 million in reserves for liquidation and administrative costs that are estimated to be incurred through the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust, compared to approximately $43.1 million in reserves as of September 30, 2013. The following table summarizes in greater detail the changes in such reserves during the three months ended December 31, 2013:

	Three months ended December 31, 2013
(in thousands)	Reserve for Expected Wind-Down Costs			Reserve for Expected Reporting Costs			Reserve for Indenture Trustee/Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs			Reserve for Avoidance Action Defense Costs			Reserve for Residual Wind-Down Costs			Total Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation
Balance, September 30, 2013	$	26,468		$	14,272		$	494		$	588		$	1,285		$	43,107

Balance, December 31, 2013	$	24,509		$	13,108		$	471		$	—		$	1,275		$	39,363

Reserves were increased approximately $646,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013, in order to reflect an increase in expected Wind-Down Costs of approximately $578,000 and an increase in expected Reporting Costs of approximately $68,000. The increase in expected Wind-Down Costs during the three months ended December 31, 2013 is primarily associated with an increase in revised estimates of ongoing costs necessary to conduct the wind-down activities of the GUC Trust. The increase in expected Reporting Costs during the three months ended December 31, 2013, is primarily associated with an increase in revised estimates of ongoing costs of services provided by GUC Trust professionals. In comparison, approximately $13.6 million in additional reserves were accrued during the three months ended December 31, 2012, in order to reflect an increase in expected Wind-Down Costs and expected Reporting Costs of approximately $6.8 million each. These increases resulted primarily from revised estimates related to the length of the remaining liquidation period of the GUC Trust.

Reserves were reduced approximately $7.6 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, in order to reflect a $3.5 million decrease in expected Wind-Down Costs and a $4.1 million decrease in expected Reporting Costs. The decrease in expected Wind-Down Costs during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, is primarily associated with the settlement of the Nova Scotia Matter (as defined below) resulting in reduced expected litigation costs, as well as a reduction in revised estimates of ongoing costs necessary to conduct the wind-down activities of the GUC Trust. The decrease in expected Reporting Costs during the nine months ended December 31, 2013, is primarily associated with a reduction in revised estimates of ongoing costs of services provided by GUC Trust professionals, as well as increased visibility into expected Reporting Costs primarily as a result of completing the first full year of SEC reporting requirements for the year ended March 31, 2013. In comparison, approximately $19.0 million in additional reserves were accrued during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, in order to reflect an $11.2 million increase in expected Reporting Costs and a $7.8 million increase in expected Wind-Down Costs. The increase in expected Reporting Costs during the nine months ended December 30, 2012, was associated with (i) increases in the estimated length of the remaining liquidation period, (ii) increased visibility into expected Reporting Costs as a result of the no action letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May 23, 2012, and (iii) additional GUC Trust professionals services required as a result of the adverse determination from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the requested issuance of a private letter ruling. The increase in expected Wind-Down Costs during the nine months ended December 30, 2012, was associated with (i) increases in the estimated length of the remaining liquidation period, (ii) revised estimates of the expected costs of the Nova Scotia Matter, and (iii) increased visibility into the ongoing costs necessary to conduct the wind-down activities of the GUC Trust, offset in large part by reductions in expected Wind-Down Costs resulting from the execution of the letter agreement with the DIP Lenders dated July 24, 2012, which provided relief from certain restrictions on utilization of Wind-Down Assets.

Total reserves were reduced by the amount of liquidation and administrative costs incurred during the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013. GUC Trust professional costs incurred during the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, were approximately $2.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $4.4 million and $20.8 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012. The decrease of approximately $1.5 million from three-month period to period was due to a $2.2 million decrease in Wind-Down Costs and a $0.3 million decrease in Residual Wind-Down Costs, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in Reporting Costs and a $0.6 million increase in Avoidance Action Defense Costs. The decrease of approximately $10.9 million from nine-month period to period was due to a $9.0 million decrease in Wind-Down Costs, a $0.8 million decrease in Reporting Costs, and a $1.9 million decrease in Residual Wind-Down Costs, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in Avoidance Action Defense Costs. GUC Trust governance costs incurred during the

28

respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, were approximately $1.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.6 million and $4.8 million for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012. While the three month periods were comparable, the decrease of approximately $0.4 million from nine-month period to nine-month period was primarily due to decreased fees and reimbursable expenses for the GUC Trust Administrator and GUC Trust Monitor. Other administrative costs during the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, were approximately $120,000 and $316,000, respectively, compared to approximately $131,000 and $283,000 for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012. Such costs represented miscellaneous fees and costs of the GUC Trust. For additional information regarding the components of each category of costs, see “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs,” “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Residual Wind-Down Claims” and “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Other Assets Received from MLC Trust on the Dissolution Date.”

The foregoing reserves represent future costs of the GUC Trust for which there was a reasonable basis for estimation as of December 31, 2013, and, therefore, are recorded under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is reasonably possible, however, that additional costs will be incurred for which there was not a reasonable basis for estimation as of December 31, 2013. In particular, as of December 31, 2013, the recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation reflect estimated costs for a remaining liquidation period extending through December 2016, which date is predominantly the result of the estimate of the period of time required for resolution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, as well as certain additional estimated time as necessary to wind down the GUC Trust, and assumes an extension of the current scheduled dissolution date of the GUC Trust. This end date of the remaining liquidation period has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis as permitted under U.S. GAAP and which the GUC Trust believes is the most appropriate measurement basis under the circumstances. In addition, certain liquidation costs that are expected to be prepaid by the GUC Trust upon its dissolution have also been estimated and accrued.

The amount of liquidation costs that will ultimately be incurred depends both on the length of the remaining liquidation period and on the extent of activities required for the GUC Trust to complete its functions and responsibilities under the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement. Significant uncertainty remains both as to that time period and as to the extent of those activities. It is reasonably possible that the GUC Trust’s estimates regarding the remaining liquidation period and the expected costs of liquidation will change in the near term.

If the funds available for each of the foregoing categories of costs are not sufficient to satisfy any of the costs in that category, the GUC Trust will be required to sell a portion of its holdings of New GM Securities in order to meet its additional obligations for those costs. Any such sales of New GM Securities will result in a lesser number of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units.

The process of recognizing reserves for expected costs of liquidation as a matter of financial reporting is separate and distinct from the process by which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution for the purposes of funding projected costs of liquidation, which are generally made on a more conservative (i.e., more inclusive) basis and include contingencies that are not permitted to be recognized under applicable accounting standards. As described in further detail below, certain New GM Securities have already been set aside from distribution for the purposes of meeting such additional obligations. However, the numbers of New GM Securities set aside from distribution are neither reflected in nor a part of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q because the process of setting aside New GM Securities is not related to the process of recognizing, as a matter of financial reporting in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation, reserves for expected costs of liquidation. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation” above and “—Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution” below.

For additional information regarding the reserves described above, see Note 2 (“Plan of Liquidation”) and Note 7 (“Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation and Residual Wind-Down Claims”) to the financial statements.

As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2013, the GUC Trust entered into the Nova Settlement Agreement (as defined below) to resolve the Nova Scotia Matter. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement became effective pursuant to its terms on November 25, 2013. As a result, Disputed General Unsecured Claims with an aggregate maximum asserted amount of $3,060.8 million were resolved, $1,550.0 million of which were allowed and approximately $1,510.8 million of which were disallowed. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q. See Note 4 for additional information regarding distributions of New GM Securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement.

Distributable Assets

The table below summarizes the activity in the New GM Securities that comprise the GUC Trust’s distributable assets, including the numbers of New GM Securities distributed through or distributable as of December 31, 2013, as well as the numbers of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units as of December 31, 2013:

(1) The numbers of New GM Securities shown as distributed or distributable include sales for (a) cash distributions to governmental entities to the extent such governmental entities have requested such sales and demonstrated to the satisfaction of the GUC Trust Administrator that such governmental entities are precluded by applicable law from receiving distributions of New GM Securities and (b) fractional numbers of New GM Securities, in lieu of which the GUC Trust is required pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement to distribute cash, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

(2) Holdings of New GM Securities reflect the numbers of New GM Securities used to determine Holdings of New GM Securities in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. See Note 5 (“Holdings of New GM Securities”) to the financial statements.

(3) Distributions Payable includes Distributions Payable in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed in prior fiscal periods, but for which the holders of such claims had not yet supplied information required by the GUC Trust in order to effect the distribution to which they are entitled.

(4) Distributable Assets reflects the numbers of New GM Securities shown as “GUC Trust Distributable Assets” on the report included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the GUC Trust with the SEC on January 21, 2014. Such New GM Securities have been set aside for potential distribution in respect of current Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims as of December 31, 2013. To the extent such claims are resolved in favor of the GUC Trust, those numbers of New GM Securities set aside may become available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units in future periods. The numbers of New GM Securities set out above as “Distributable Assets” do not, however, directly relate to Net Assets in Liquidation or any other number appearing in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

30

As described above under the heading “—Disputed Claims,” as of December 31, 2013, there were approximately $31.8 billion in Allowed General Unsecured Claims. In respect of such claims, the GUC Trust had previously distributed, or was obligated to distribute as of December 31, 2013, in the aggregate, 133,574,455 shares of New GM Common Stock, 121,431,461 New GM Series A Warrants and 121,431,461 New GM Series B Warrants. These numbers include 6,174,015 shares of New GM Common Stock, 5,612,741 New GM Series A Warrants and 5,612,741 New GM Series B Warrants, which were distributed during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 in respect of the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution as described below. They also include 6,735,070 shares of New GM Common Stock, 6,122,789 New GM Series A Warrants and 6,122,789 New GM Series B Warrants that were distributed during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, to holders of GUC Trust Units in respect of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets as a Special Excess Distribution as described below.

Also as described above under the heading “—Disputed Claims,” on September 26, 2013, the GUC Trust entered into the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, which became effective November 25, 2013. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, (i) the reduction of claims relating to the Nova Scotia Matter in the aggregate, from $3,060.8 million to $1,550 million and allowance of such claim as so reduced, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Settlement Claims Allowances, (ii) a liquidating distribution to be made to the holders of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims resulting from the Nova Scotia Settlement Claims Allowance, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution, and (iii) a subsequent liquidating distribution of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets to be made to holders of the GUC Trust Units, which we refer to as the Special Excess Distribution. The Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution was made on or about December 2, 2013 and consisted of, in the aggregate, (a) 6,174,015 shares of New GM Common Stock, (b) 5,612,741 New GM Series A Warrants, (c) 5,612,741 New GM Series B Warrants, and (d) 1,550,000 GUC Trust Units. The Special Excess Distribution was made on or about December 23, 2013 and consisted of, in the aggregate, (a) 6,735,070 shares of New GM Common Stock, (b) 6,122,789 New GM Series A Warrants, and (c) 6,122,789 New GM Series B Warrants. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the related Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, no New GM Securities were sold to fund liquidation and administrative costs of the GUC Trust.

New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution

Overview of New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution

In addition to distributions and liquidations of New GM Securities, which are reflected as reductions to the GUC Trust net assets in its financial statements, the GUC Trust also, from time to time, sets aside from distribution New GM Securities for potential future liquidation to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs, as well as potential income tax liabilities. The New GM Securities that are set aside from distribution by the GUC Trust are not deducted from or otherwise reflected in the net assets in liquidation of the GUC Trust in its financial statements unless and until such New GM Securities are liquidated. The New GM Securities set aside from distribution are segregated by the GUC Trust for such specific purposes and are not available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units or other claimants unless and to the extent that the GUC Trust later determines that the New GM Securities are no longer needed to fund those specific purposes.

The process by which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution for the purpose of funding projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities is not related to, and is separate from, the process of recognizing current and deferred income tax liabilities and reserves for expected costs of liquidation in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation, as a matter of financial reporting. As a matter of financial reporting, income tax liabilities and reserves for expected costs of liquidation must be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the GUC Trust. By contrast, the estimates of projected costs and potential liabilities for which the GUC Trust may set aside New GM Securities are generally made on a more conservative (i.e., more inclusive) basis and include contingencies and amounts of potential income tax liabilities that are not permitted to be recognized under applicable accounting standards. See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Income Taxes,” and “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation” above.

As of December 31, 2013, the distributable assets of the GUC Trust included 6,839,990 shares of New GM Common Stock, 6,218,061 New GM Series A Warrants and 6,218,061 New GM Series B Warrants, with an aggregate fair value of approximately

31

$617 million, after deducting the numbers of New GM Securities (i) set aside from distribution to fund additional projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust (as described below under the headings “—‘Set Aside’ Calculations Relating to Projected Liquidation and Administrative Costs” and “—‘Set Aside’ Calculations Relating to Potential Income Tax Liabilities”) and (ii) set aside for distributions payable in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed in prior fiscal periods, but for which the holders of such claims had not yet supplied information required by the GUC Trust in order to effect the distributions to which they are entitled. Such New GM Securities have been set aside entirely for potential distribution in respect of current Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims. As a result, as of December 31, 2013, no New GM Securities were available for making a distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units.

There is no assurance that additional New GM Securities will not be required to be set aside from distribution and sold to fund additional costs and income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust, beyond those the GUC Trust Administrator has already set aside as described below. Any sales of New GM Securities that occur to fund such obligations will result in a lesser number of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

“Set Aside” Calculations Relating to Projected Liquidation and Administrative Costs

The GUC Trust Administrator reevaluates, on a quarterly basis, the number of New GM Securities needed to be set aside from distribution for purposes of funding projected liquidation and administrative costs. This determination is made on a basis different than that used to calculate reserves for financial statement purposes. The current methodology for calculating such set asides converts estimates of projected liquidation and administrative costs into the number of New GM Securities to be set aside from distribution by dividing such estimates by the trailing twelve month average closing prices for the New GM Securities.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, as a result of the calculations supporting the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution, the Special Excess Distribution, and the standard quarterly reevaluations described above, the number of New GM Securities set aside from distribution to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs of the GUC Trust was decreased by an aggregate of 163,215 shares of New GM Common Stock, 148,378 New GM Series A Warrants and 148,378 New GM Series B Warrants from those previously set aside as of September 30, 2013. Such decreases resulted from reductions in estimates of such costs associated with the final resolution of the Nova Scotia Matter, partially offset by increases in the fair market value of New GM Securities. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust had set aside from distribution, in the aggregate, 718,272 shares of New GM Common Stock, 652,949 New GM Series A Warrants, and 652,949 New GM Series B Warrants, with an aggregate fair value of $64.8 million, for the purposes of funding future projected liquidation and administrative costs of the GUC Trust. Such amounts were sufficient to fully fund projected liquidation and administrative costs of the GUC Trust, as estimated by the GUC Trust Administrator at December 31, 2013.

“Set Aside” Calculations Relating to Potential Income Tax Liabilities

In addition to reevaluating the numbers of New GM Securities to be set aside from distribution to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs, the GUC Trust Administrator also reevaluates, on a quarterly basis, the numbers of New GM Securities needed to be set aside from distribution to fund potential income tax liabilities on realized gains and future gains from the disposition of New GM Securities. The current methodology for calculating such set asides estimates potential income tax liabilities by applying the applicable U.S. federal income tax rate to estimates of potential capital gains, which are arrived at by comparing the highest closing price for the New GM Securities since December 15, 2011, against the tax basis of the New GM Securities on December 15, 2011. The set aside calculation methodology then converts the estimate of potential income tax liabilities into the numbers of New GM Securities to be set aside from distribution by dividing such estimate by the trailing twelve month average closing prices for the New GM Securities.

The GUC Trust’s calculations of the numbers of New GM Securities needed to be set aside from distribution to fund potential income tax liabilities is made using a different methodology than that used to calculate deferred tax liabilities for financial statement purposes. In estimating potential income tax liabilities, the “set aside” calculation estimates potential capital gains as the difference between (a) the tax basis of the New GM Securities on December 15, 2011 and (b) the highest closing price of such New GM Securities since December 15, 2011. By contrast, in calculating deferred tax liabilities for purposes of financial reporting, under applicable generally accepted accounting principles, the GUC Trust calculates estimated capital gains as the difference between (a) the tax basis of the New GM Securities for financial reporting purposes and (b) the closing price of such New GM Securities as of the last trading date of the most recent fiscal quarter. In addition, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the tax position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date, rather than December 15, 2011. Accordingly, during the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position. Because the new tax position has not yet been sustained on examination by the Internal

32

Revenue Service, however, as a conservative measure, the GUC Trust Administrator has determined not to revise the “set aside” calculation methodology described above unless and until the new tax position has been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service for all applicable income tax returns, including the GUC Trust’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year ending March 31, 2014 and subsequent years.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, as a result of the calculations supporting the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution, the Special Excess Distribution and the standard quarterly reevaluations described above , the GUC Trust Administrator determined that the “set aside” calculation methodology described above would require the GUC Trust to set aside an additional 497,169 shares of New GM Common Stock, 451,971 New GM Series A Warrants and 451,971 New GM Series B Warrants with an aggregate fair value of approximately $716.6 million. Such overall increases were primarily related to the increase in the fair market value of New GM Securities during the period. However, as a result of limitations on the numbers of New GM Securities available to be set aside for such purposes, as described in further detail below, the number of New GM Securities available to be set aside from distribution to fund such potential income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2013 was only 7,695,633 shares of New GM Common Stock and 6,996,030 New GM Series A Warrants and 6,996,030 New GM Series B Warrants with an aggregate fair value of approximately $694.1 million, for a net shortfall of 249,346 shares of New GM Common Stock, 226,678 New GM Series A Warrants and 226,678 New GM Series B Warrants, or of approximately $22.5 million. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, the amounts of New GM Securities set aside for potential income tax liabilities were insufficient to fully fund such liabilities as estimated by GUC Trust Administrator at that date. For additional information, see “—Limitations on New GM Securities Available to be Set Aside” below.

Limitations on New GM Securities Available to be Set Aside

Because of fixed total numbers of New GM Securities administered by the GUC Trust, as well as the requirement also to set aside sufficient New GM Securities to satisfy all potential Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the numbers of New GM Securities available to be set aside to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities are subject to inherent limitation. As previously disclosed in the GUC Trust’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, at certain times in the past, the numbers of New GM Securities set aside to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities have been reduced from the GUC Trust’s estimates of potential future requirements to fund such costs and liabilities, as a result of such limitations. As a result of certain changes made to the methodologies for estimating such projected and potential costs and liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013, the number of New GM Securities set aside at September 30, 2013 fully covered the GUC Trust’s estimates of projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities.

As described under “—‘Set Aside’ Calculations Relating to Projected Liquidation and Administrative Costs” above, as of December 31, 2013, the numbers of New GM Securities set aside to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs fully covered the GUC Trust’s estimates of projected liquidation and administrative costs. However, as described in greater detail under “—‘Set Aside’ Calculations Relating to Potential Income Tax Liabilities” above, following the calculations supporting the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution, the Special Excess Distribution and the standard quarterly reevaluations described above, the GUC Trust Administrator determined that the numbers of New GM Securities set aside to fund potential income tax liabilities were reduced from the GUC Trust’s estimates of potential future requirements to fund such liabilities, as a result of limitations similar to those described above. Such shortfall amounted to 249,346 shares of New GM Common Stock, 226,678 New GM Series A Warrants and 226,678 New GM Series B Warrants with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $22.5 million.

It is the view of the GUC Trust Administrator, after consultation with the GUC Trust Monitor and other professionals retained by the GUC Trust, that the calculation methodologies described above, on the basis of which New GM Securities are set aside from distribution, are conservative methodologies for calculating the projected liquidation and administrative costs and potential income tax liabilities of the GUC Trust. Accordingly, it is the view of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor that the New GM Securities currently set aside from distribution to fund such costs and liabilities would be sufficient, upon liquidation, to satisfy such obligations of the GUC Trust as of the date of this Form 10-Q. However, there can be no assurance that the numbers of New GM Securities set aside to fund such costs and liabilities will be sufficient to fund such costs and liabilities as they are actually incurred, in particular if the market price of the New GM Securities falls below the trailing twelve month average closing prices used to convert the GUC Trust’s estimates of such projected costs and potential liabilities into numbers of GUC Trust Securities to be set aside, as described above. In addition, there can be no assurance that, as a result of future evaluations, additional numbers of New GM Securities will not need to be set aside or sold to fund additional costs and liabilities, beyond those that are currently included in the GUC Trust’s estimates, in particular as a result of fluctuations in the market price of the New GM Securities or changes in the GUC Trust’s estimates of projected costs and potential liabilities. For a more comprehensive list of the risks and uncertainties relating to the GUC Trust, see the disclosure below under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and in Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) in the Form 10-K filed on May 21, 2013.

GUC Trust Units

The table below details the changes in the numbers of GUC Trust Units outstanding or issuable during the three months ended December 31, 2013:

	Trust Units
Outstanding or issuable at September 30, 2013		30,293,376
Issued during the period		1,560,575
Less: Issuable at beginning of period (1)		(10,575	)
Add: Issuable at end of period (1)		—
Outstanding or issuable at December 31, 2013 (2)		31,843,376

(1) The number of GUC Trust Units issuable at any time represents GUC Trust Units issuable in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were newly allowed during the fiscal quarter.

(2) The number of GUC Trust Units outstanding at any time represents GUC Trust Units issued in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed in prior periods, including GUC Trust Units held by the GUC Trust for the benefit of (a) holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who had not yet supplied information required by the GUC Trust in order to effect the initial distribution to which they are entitled and (b) governmental entities that are precluded by applicable law from receiving distributions of GUC Trust Units and New GM Securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The GUC Trust’s sources of liquidity are principally the funds it holds for the payment of liquidation and administrative costs, and to a significantly lesser degree, the earnings on such funds invested by it. The GUC Trust holds such funds as cash and cash equivalents and also invests such funds in marketable securities, primarily corporate commercial paper and municipal commercial paper and demand notes, as permitted by the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $8.9 million from approximately $1.0 million to approximately $9.9 million. The increase was due primarily to proceeds from the maturity and sale of marketable securities in excess of reinvestments of $27.1 million, offset in part by cash paid for liquidation and administrative costs of $16.2 million, cash paid for Residual Wind-Down Claims of $1.5 million, and cash paid for distributions of $0.6 million.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the funds invested by the GUC Trust in marketable securities decreased approximately $27.1 million, from approximately $76.8 million to approximately $49.7 million. The decrease was due primarily to reduced re-investments of cash in marketable securities in order to fund cash needs during the period. The GUC Trust received approximately $50,000 in interest and dividend income on such investments during the nine months ended December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust held approximately $59.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. Of that amount, approximately $44.8 million (comprising approximately $31.0 million of the remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets, approximately $13.3 million of the remaining Administrative Fund and approximately $0.5 million in remaining funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs), is required by the GUC Trust Agreement to be returned, upon the winding-up of the GUC Trust, to the DIP Lenders to the extent such funds are not utilized to satisfy designated Wind-Down Costs, Residual Wind-Down Claims, Residual Wind-Down Costs, Avoidance Action Defense Costs and Indenture Trustee/Fiscal Paying Agent Costs. (Of the $13.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities remaining in the Administrative Fund, approximately $8.8 million has been separately designated for the satisfaction of certain costs and liabilities of the GUC Trust (other than Reporting Costs) and $4.5 million is available for other Wind-Down Costs, which funds must be exhausted prior to the use of any Other Administrative Cash for such purposes.) Such amounts will not at any time be available for distribution to the holders of the GUC Trust Units. The balance of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $14.9 million is available for the payment of certain reporting and administrative costs of the GUC Trust, and would be available in the future for distribution to the holders of the GUC Trust units, if not otherwise used to satisfy those GUC Trust obligations. See “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Funding for the GUC Trust’s Liquidation and Administrative Costs Residual,” “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Wind-Down Claims” and “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Other Assets Received from MLC on the Dissolution Date” above.

In addition to funds held for payment of costs of liquidation and administration, the GUC Trust also holds New GM Securities, a portion of which the GUC Trust Administrator is permitted to set aside from distribution and to sell with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or Trust Monitor, as applicable, in order to fund additional costs and income tax liabilities as they become due. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate fair value of the New GM Securities held by the GUC Trust, excluding securities set aside for liquidating distributions payable as of that date, was approximately $1,375.9 million. As of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust Administrator had further set aside from distribution New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value as of that date of approximately $64.8 million to fund projected liquidation and administrative costs, and New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value as of that date of approximately $694.1 million to fund potential income taxes. See “—Net Assets in Liquidation—Distributable Assets” above.

There is no assurance that additional numbers of New GM Securities will not be required to be set aside from distribution and sold to fund additional costs and income tax liabilities, beyond what the GUC Trust Administrator has already set aside. Any sales of New GM Securities that occur to fund such obligations will result in a lesser number of New GM Securities available for distribution to holders of GUC Trust Units. In addition, as described above under the headings “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Residual Wind-Down Claims” and “—Functions and Responsibilities of the GUC Trust—Other Assets Received from MLC on the Dissolution Date,” a portion of the GUC Trust’s assets are currently segregated pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement for the satisfaction of Residual Wind-Down Claims and certain other specified costs. If such assets are insufficient to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims or fund such other specified costs for any reason, the GUC Trust Administrator will similarly be required to set aside from distribution and sell additional New GM Securities in order to fund such shortfall.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the assets, financial condition and prospects of the GUC Trust. Actual results could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the resolution of the Disputed General Unsecured Claims, the outcome of and the ultimate recovery on the Term Loan Avoidance Action, any related incurrence of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the GUC Trust’s incurrence of professional fees, tax liabilities and other expenses in connection with administration of the GUC Trust, economic conditions, changes in tax and other governmental rules and regulations applicable to the GUC Trust, fluctuations in the market price of the New GM Securities and other risks, as well as various risks and uncertainties associated with New GM, as described in New GM’s periodic and current reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust entered into a settlement agreement, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, to resolve certain litigation, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Matter, to disallow, equitably subordinate or reduce claims relating to notes, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Notes, issued in 2003 by General Motors Nova Scotia Finance Company and guaranteed by MLC. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things:

(i) the reduction of claims relating to the Nova Scotia Matter, in the aggregate, from approximately $3.06 billion to approximately $1.55 billion and allowance of such claim as so reduced, which we refer to collectively as the Nova Scotia Settlement Claims Allowances

(ii) a liquidating distribution to be made to the holders of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims resulting from the Nova Scotia Settlement Claims Allowances, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution

(iii) a subsequent liquidating distribution of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets to be made to holders of the GUC Trust Units, which we refer to as the Special Excess Distribution; and

(iv) releases from liability by all past, present and future holders of Nova Scotia Notes and the other parties to the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, which we refer to as the Nova Scotia Claims Releases.

On November 25, 2013, following the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement became effective pursuant to its terms. As a result, the Nova Scotia Claims Releases became effective, and the following distributions of New GM Securities were subsequently made:

(i) the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution, on or about December 2, 2013, consisting of, in the aggregate, (a) 6,174,015 shares of New GM Common Stock, (b) 5,612,741 New GM Series A Warrants, (c) 5,612,741 New GM Series B Warrants, and (d) 1,550,000 GUC Trust Units; and

Other than the foregoing, no material changes occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, with respect to any legal proceedings relating to the GUC Trust, from the disclosures included in the GUC Trust’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Plan of Liquidation

9 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Text Block [Abstract]

Plan of Liquidation

2. Plan of Liquidation

On March 31, 2011, the date the Plan became effective (the “Effective Date”), there were approximately $29,771 million in Allowed General Unsecured Claims. In addition, as of the Effective Date, there were approximately $8,154 million in disputed general unsecured claims which reflected liquidated disputed claims, as adjusted pursuant to the Plan, and a Bankruptcy Court ordered distribution reserve for unliquidated disputed claims (“Disputed General Unsecured Claims”), but did not reflect potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims. The total aggregate amount of general unsecured claims, both allowed and disputed, asserted against the Debtors, inclusive of the potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims, was approximately $39,425 million as of the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims become entitled to receive a distribution of New GM Securities from the GUC Trust if, and to the extent that, such Disputed General Unsecured Claims become Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Under the GUC Trust Agreement, the GUC Trust Administrator has the authority to file objections to such Disputed General Unsecured Claims and the Bankruptcy Court has extended the time by which the GUC Trust may object to Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Residual Wind-Down Claims as defined below to March 20, 2014 (which date may be further extended by application to the Bankruptcy Court). Such claims may be prosecuted through alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation and arbitration (“ADR Proceedings”), if appropriate. As of December 31, 2013, there were approximately $130.6 million in Disputed General Unsecured Claims, which amount has been significantly reduced from approximately $8,154 million as of the Effective Date. See “—Allowed and Disputed Claims” below.

To the extent that all or a portion of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is deemed invalid—or “disallowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is disallowed is not entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust (subject to any appeal rights of the claimant). However, to the extent that a Disputed General Unsecured Claim is fully resolved, and such resolution results in all or a portion of the original Disputed General Unsecured Claim being deemed valid—or “allowed”—by order of the Bankruptcy Court, by order of the tribunal presiding over the ADR Proceeding (if applicable), or by settlement with the GUC Trust, such portion of the Disputed General Unsecured Claim that is allowed will be considered an Allowed General Unsecured Claim and will be entitled to a distribution from the GUC Trust as if it were an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on the Effective Date (such claims, “Resolved Disputed Claims”).

Only one avoidance action, captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Co. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al., Adv. Pro. No.09-00504 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2009) (the “Term Loan Avoidance Action”), was commenced prior to the statutory deadline for commencing such actions. The Term Loan Avoidance Action was commenced by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Motors Liquidation Company (the “Committee”), and seeks the return of approximately $1.5 billion that had been transferred by the Debtors (with funds advanced after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors (as defined in Item 2 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis”) under the heading “Glossary” below) by the United States Treasury and Export Development Canada (together, the “DIP Lenders”)) to a consortium of prepetition lenders pursuant to the terms of the order of the Bankruptcy Court. On December 15, 2011, in accordance with the Plan, upon the dissolution of MLC, the Term Loan Avoidance Action was transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust (as defined below). To the extent that Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as the trustee and trust administrator of the Avoidance Action Trust (the “Avoidance Action Trust Administrator”), is successful in obtaining a judgment against the defendant(s) to the Term Loan Avoidance Action, Allowed General Unsecured Claims will arise in the amount of any transfers actually avoided (that is, disgorged) pursuant thereto (such general unsecured claims “Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims,” and together with Resolved Disputed Claims, the “Resolved Allowed Claims”).

It is still unclear whether any amounts actually avoided pursuant to the Term Loan Avoidance Action would be for the benefit of holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. The Committee has taken the position that (a) the DIP Lenders are not entitled to any proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action and have no interests in the trust established for the action under the Plan (the “Avoidance Action Trust”) and (b) the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims have the exclusive right to receive any and all proceeds of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, and are the exclusive beneficiaries of the Avoidance Action Trust with respect thereto.

Litigation with respect to these issues is ongoing (with the Term Loan Avoidance Action currently pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit), and the rights to any recoveries on the Term Loan Avoidance Action are still disputed. In no event, however, will any funds reclaimed from the pre-petition lenders be transferred to or otherwise benefit the GUC Trust or be distributed to holders of GUC Trust Units.

GUC Trust Distributable Assets

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the distribution of 150 million shares of New GM Common Stock issued by New GM, warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $10.00 per share (“New GM Series A Warrants”), and warrants to acquire 136,363,635 newly issued shares of New GM Stock with an exercise price set at $18.33 per share (“New GM Series B Warrants”), (such securities, “New GM Securities”). Record ownership of the New GM Securities was held by MLC for the benefit of the GUC Trust until the dissolution of MLC on December 15, 2011, at which time record ownership was transferred to the GUC Trust.

Funding for GUC Trust Costs of Liquidation

The GUC Trust has incurred and will continue to incur certain costs to liquidate the trust assets and implement the Plan. On or about the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, MLC contributed approximately $52.7 million to the GUC Trust to be held and maintained by the GUC Trust Administrator (the “Administrative Fund”) primarily for the purpose of paying certain fees and expenses incurred by the GUC Trust (including fees of the GUC Trust Administrator and the GUC Trust Monitor (as defined in Item 2 (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis”) under the heading “Glossary” below) and the fees and expenses for professionals retained by the GUC Trust), other than the Reporting Costs, as defined below (“Wind-Down Costs”). As of December 31, 2013, the remaining Administrative Fund aggregated $14.2 million. Of that amount, approximately $8.8 million has been separately designated for the satisfaction of certain costs and liabilities of the GUC Trust (other than Reporting Costs (as defined below)) and $5.4 million is available for other Wind-Down Costs, which funds must be exhausted prior to the use of any Other Administrative Cash (as defined below) for such purposes. Cash or investments from the Administrative Fund, if any, which remain at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust must be returned to the DIP Lenders.

The GUC Trust Agreement authorized the GUC Trust to liquidate approximately $5.7 million of New GM Securities (the “Initial Reporting Cash”) shortly after the Effective Date for the purposes of funding certain fees and expenses of the GUC Trust (the “Reporting Costs”), including those directly or indirectly relating to (i) reports to be prepared and filed by the GUC Trust pursuant to applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) the transfer, registration for transfer and certification of GUC Trust Units, and (iii) the application by the Committee (as defined below) to the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling regarding the tax treatment of the GUC Trust and the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims in respect to the distribution of New GM Securities. The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Reporting Costs.

The GUC Trust Agreement provides that, if the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Administrative Fund is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Wind-Down Costs or the Initial Reporting Cash is not sufficient to satisfy the current or projected Reporting Costs, the GUC Trust Administrator, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, is authorized to set aside New GM Securities from distribution for these purposes. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such “set aside” New GM Securities to fund the Wind-Down Costs and/or Reporting Costs with the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are set aside and/or sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. Although any such liquidation of set aside New GM Securities will be reflected in the financial statements of the GUC Trust at the time of liquidation, the setting aside of New GM Securities itself is not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust. Separate from this process of setting aside New GM Securities to satisfy unfunded projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust, as a matter of financial reporting, the GUC Trust records a reserve in its Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation (the source of funding of which is not addressed therein) for all expected costs of liquidation for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation. For this reason, among others, there is not a direct relationship between the amount of such reserve reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation and the value of any New GM Securities that are set aside for current or projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust. Adjustments to the Reserve for Expected Costs of Liquidation as reported in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation are recorded only when there is a reasonable basis for estimation of the expected incurrence of additional costs. For more information regarding the Reserves for Expected Costs of Liquidation reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation, see Note 7.

The Bankruptcy Court previously approved in March 2012, and December 2012, the sale of New GM Securities to fund the then current and projected costs and expenses of the GUC Trust. The March 2012, Bankruptcy Court order also authorized the sale of further New GM Securities for the purpose of funding certain fees, costs and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust (as described below under the heading “—Funding for Avoidance Action Trust”).

Through March 31, 2013, sales of New GM Securities to fund projected Reporting Costs and Wind-Down Costs through calendar year 2013 aggregated approximately $50.2 million, including the Initial Reporting Cash (which amounts comprised part of the GUC Trust’s Other Administrative Cash). Such securities sold aggregated 902,228 shares of New GM Common Stock, 820,205 New GM Series A Warrants and 820,205 New GM Series B Warrants. There have been no subsequent sales of securities to fund Wind-Down Costs and Reporting Costs.

To the extent that any of the Other Administrative Cash is not ultimately required and is held by the GUC Trust at the time of its dissolution, such remaining Other Administrative Cash will be distributed by the GUC Trust to holders of the GUC Trust Units.

As of December 31, 2013, New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value as of that date of $64.8 million have been set aside for projected GUC Trust fees, costs and expenses to be incurred beyond December 31, 2013. Accordingly, such New GM Securities are currently not available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust Units.

Funding for Potential Tax Liabilities

The GUC Trust is subject to U.S. federal income tax on realized gains from the disposition of shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (such taxes, “Taxes on Distribution”). The GUC Trust Agreement provides that the Administrative Fund may not be utilized to satisfy any Taxes on Distribution. As such, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, to set aside from distribution certain numbers of New GM Securities, the liquidated proceeds of which would be sufficient to satisfy any potential Taxes on Distribution. The GUC Trust Administrator may then liquidate such “set aside” New GM Securities to fund the Taxes on Distribution, with the approval of the GUC Trust Monitor, but without the necessity of obtaining approval of the Bankruptcy Court. New GM Securities that are set aside and subsequently sold in this manner will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units, and the cash proceeds of any such sale will be classified as “Other Administrative Cash” under the GUC Trust Agreement. New GM Securities that have been so set aside are included in Holdings of New GM Securities in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. In the event such set-aside New GM Securities were sold to fund Taxes on Distribution, the proceeds of such sale would be reflected in Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or Marketable Securities until expended to pay Taxes on Distribution. While the set-aside New GM Securities are not available for distribution, there is no corresponding liability or reserve related to the set aside New GM Securities reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust Administrator reviewed the current and potential Taxes on Distribution. As a result of such review, the GUC Trust Administrator determined that New GM Securities with an aggregate fair market value (as of December 31, 2013) of $716.6 million should be set aside for potential Taxes on Distribution based on (1) the GUC Trust’s method for calculating potential gains on distributions or sales of New GM Securities (reduced by carryforward net operating losses and future deductible expenses at December 31, 2013) and (2) the GUC Trust’s method for converting the potential tax liability to the number of securities to be set aside. However, as a result of limitations on the number of New GM Securities that were available to be set aside, New GM Securities with an aggregate fair value (as of December 31, 2013) of only $694.1 million were able to be set aside. (See Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” under the heading “Net Assets in Liquidation—New GM Securities Set Aside from Distribution—Limitation on New GM Securities Available to be Set Aside” for additional details regarding such limitations.) Such New GM Securities are not currently available for distribution to the beneficiaries of GUC Trust Units. The GUC Trust Administrator intends to continue to reevaluate the numbers of New GM Securities set aside on a quarterly basis.

As previously disclosed, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date, instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax return for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position described above. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. The new tax position has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service as of the date hereof. However, the GUC Trust believes, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it is more likely than not that the new tax position will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service based on the technical merits of the position. Accordingly, this new tax position has been reflected in the amounts recognized in current and deferred income tax liabilities and the income tax provision in the GUC Trust’s financial statements since September 30, 2013. By contrast as a conservative measure, the calculation of the “set aside” of New GM Securities for potential Taxes on Distribution utilizes the prior tax position rather than the new tax position. The calculation of the “set aside” of New GM Securities for potential Taxes on Distribution will not reflect the new tax position unless and until the new tax position has been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service for all applicable income tax returns, including the GUC Trust’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year ending March 31, 2014 and subsequent years.

Funding for Avoidance Action Trust

Based on an analysis of the Avoidance Action Trust and its potential funding sources, the GUC Trust Administrator, in conjunction with the Avoidance Action Trust Administrator, determined that it would be in the best interest of the holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims to fund certain fees, costs and expenses of the Avoidance Action Trust, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In March 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of New GM Securities aggregating approximately $13.7 million and the transfer of the sales proceeds to the Avoidance Action Trust for such funding. The sale occurred in March 2012, comprising 269,422 shares of New GM Common Stock, 244,929 New GM Series A Warrants and 244,929 New GM Series B Warrants. The sales proceeds were transferred to the Avoidance Action Trust in May 2012.

Residual Wind-Down Claims and Costs

Upon the dissolution of the Debtors, which occurred on December 15, 2011, the GUC Trust became responsible for resolving and satisfying (to the extent allowed) all remaining disputed administrative expenses, priority tax claims, priority non-tax claims and secured claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Claims”). On December 15, 2011, under the Plan, the Debtors transferred to the GUC Trust an amount of cash necessary (the “Residual Wind-Down Assets”) to satisfy the ultimate allowed amount of such Residual Wind-Down Claims (including certain litigation defense costs related to the Term Loan Avoidance Action (the “Avoidance Action Defense Costs”)), as estimated by the Debtors, and the costs, fees and expenses relating to satisfying and resolving the Residual Wind-Down Claims (the “Residual Wind-Down Costs”). The Residual Wind-Down Assets initially aggregated approximately $42.8 million (which amount consisted of approximately $40.0 million in cash, including approximately $1.4 million for the payment of Avoidance Action Defense Costs, and the transferred benefit of approximately $2.8 million in prepaid expenses). Should the Residual Wind-Down Costs and the Residual Wind-Down Claims be less than the Residual Wind-Down Assets, any excess funds will be returned to the DIP Lenders. If at any time the GUC Trust Administrator determines that the Residual Wind-Down Assets are not adequate to satisfy the Residual Wind-Down Claims (including the actual amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs) and Residual Wind-Down Costs, such costs will be satisfied by Other Administrative Cash. If there is no remaining Other Administrative Cash, the GUC Trust Administrator is authorized to, with GUC Trust Monitor approval, set aside and, with Bankruptcy Court approval, sell New GM Securities to cover the shortfall. To the extent that New GM Securities are set aside and sold to obtain funding to complete the wind-down of the Debtors, such securities will not be available for distribution to the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust. Therefore, the amount of Residual Wind-Down Claims and Residual Wind-Down Costs could reduce the assets of the GUC Trust available for distribution. Although any such sale of set aside New GM Securities would be reflected in the financial statements of the GUC Trust in the period of sale, the setting aside of New GM Securities itself would not be reflected in the Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation or any of the other financial statements of the GUC Trust.

After the GUC Trust has concluded its affairs, any funds remaining that were obtained from the sale of New GM Securities to fund the wind-down process or the resolution and satisfaction of the Residual Wind-Down Claims will be distributed to the holders of the GUC Trust Units. Including costs accrued as of December 31, 2013, the amount of Avoidance Action Defense Costs incurred to date exceeds the corresponding cash of $1.4 million received by the GUC Trust from MLC on the Dissolution Date by approximately $69,000. As a result a new Residual Wind-Down Claim has arisen in the amount of such excess. It is expected that additional Avoidance Action Defense Costs will be incurred for which additional Residual Wind-Down Claims will arise to be paid from the other remaining Residual Wind-Down Assets and, following the depletion of such assets, Other Administrative Cash or the sale of New GM Securities. As of December 31, 2013, $31.2 million in Residual Wind-Down Assets were held by the GUC Trust (including $0.4 million of the original $1.4 million earmarked for Avoidance Action Defense Costs), which are recorded in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other assets & deposits in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation. By comparison, there were approximately $13.2 million in Residual Wind-Down Claims against such assets as of December 31, 2013, subject to increase for new Residual Wind-Down Claims that are expected to arise for Avoidance Action Defense Costs.

In addition to the Residual Wind-Down Assets, the GUC Trust also received on the Dissolution Date approximately $3.4 million in cash from MLC for the purposes of funding (1) $1.4 million in respect of certain costs, fees and expenses payable under the Plan to the indenture trustees and fiscal and paying agents for the previously outstanding debt of MLC, or the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs, and (2) $2.0 million in respect of Reporting Costs. The funds received were credited to the reserve for expected costs of liquidation. Any unused portion of the funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agent Costs must be returned to the DIP Lenders and will not be available for distribution to the holders of GUC Trust Units at the winding up and conclusion of the GUC Trust. As of December 31, 2013, funds designated for the Indenture Trustee / Fiscal and Paying Agents Costs held by the GUC Trust approximated $0.5 million and are recorded in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation.

Net Assets in Liquidation

3. Net Assets in Liquidation

Description

Under the GUC Trust Agreement and the Plan, as described more fully in Note 1, the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units (“Trust Beneficiaries”). Certain assets of the GUC Trust are set aside for funding the projected costs of liquidation and potential tax liabilities and are currently not available to the Trust Beneficiaries. Other assets of the GUC Trust, primarily Holdings of New GM Securities, as described in Notes 1 and 5, are available to be distributed to the Trust Beneficiaries (“GUC Trust Distributable Assets”) in accordance with the Plan. The amounts of net assets in liquidation presented in the accompanying Condensed Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation at December 31and March 31, 2013, correspond to the amounts of GUC Trust Distributable Assets as of December 31 and March 31, 2013.

Trust Units

As described in Note 1, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will retain a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (if and to the extent such shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required for the satisfaction of previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims or liquidation for the payment of the expenses or tax liabilities of the GUC Trust) and certain cash, if any, remaining at the dissolution of the GUC Trust. The GUC Trust issues units representing such contingent rights (“GUC Trust Units”) at the rate of one GUC Trust Unit per $1,000 of Allowed General Unsecured Claims to each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim, subject to rounding pursuant to the GUC Trust Agreement, in connection with the initial recognition of each Allowed General Unsecured Claim.

The GUC Trust makes quarterly liquidating distributions to holders of GUC Trust Units to the extent that certain previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims asserted against the Debtors’ estates are either disallowed or are otherwise resolved favorably to the GUC Trust (thereby reducing the amount of GUC Trust assets set aside for distribution in respect of such asserted claims) and the amount of Excess GUC Trust Distributable Assets (as defined in the GUC Trust Agreement) as of the end of the relevant quarter exceeds thresholds set forth in the GUC Trust Agreement.

The following table presents the changes during the three months ended December 31, 2013, in the numbers of GUC Trust Units outstanding or which the GUC Trust was obligated to issue:

	Trust Units
Outstanding or issuable at September 30, 2013		30,293,376
Issued during the period (1)		1,560,575
Less: Issuable at beginning of period (2)		(10,575	)
Add: Issuable at end of period (2)		—
Outstanding at December 31, 2013 (3)		31,843,376

(1) Of the 1,560,575 GUC Trust Units issued during the quarter ended December 31, 2013, 1,550,000 related to the Nova Scotia Settlement Distribution (as defined below) applicable to the Nova Scotia Matter (as defined below) described in Note 4. The balance was issued in respect of GUC Trust Units issuable at September 30, 2013.

(2) The number of GUC Trust Units issuable at any time represents GUC Trust Units issuable in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were newly allowed during the fiscal quarter.

(3) The number of GUC Trust Units outstanding at any time represents GUC Trust Units issued in respect of Allowed General Unsecured Claims that were allowed in prior periods, including GUC Trust Units held by the GUC Trust for the benefit of (a) holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims who had not yet supplied information required by the GUC Trust in order to effect the initial distribution to which they are entitled and (b) governmental entities that are precluded by applicable law from receiving distributions of GUC Trust Units and New GM Securities.

Allowed and Disputed Claims

The total cumulative pro rata liquidating distributions ultimately received by Trust Beneficiaries are dependent upon the current amount of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and final resolution of outstanding Disputed General Unsecured Claims and potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims (as described in Note 2). Disputed General Unsecured Claims at December 31, 2013, reflect claim amounts at their originally filed amounts, a court ordered distribution “set aside” for certain claims filed without a claim amount and other adjustments as ordered by the court or permitted by the Plan. The Disputed General Unsecured Claims may settle at amounts that differ significantly from these amounts and at amounts that differ significantly from the historical pattern at which claims have been settled and allowed in proportion to claims resolved and disallowed. As described in Note 1, prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of New GM Securities to be distributed) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence.

The following table presents a summary of the Allowed and Disputed General Unsecured Claims and potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Allowed General Unsecured Claims		Disputed General Unsecured Claims			Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims		Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims (1)			Total Claim Amount (2)
Total, September 30, 2013	$	30,293,305	$	3,191,393		$	1,500,000	$	4,691,393		$	34,984,698
New Allowed General Unsecured Claims		1,550,000		—			—		—			1,550,000
Disputed General Unsecured Claims resolved or disallowed		—		(3,060,821	)		—		(3,060,821	)		(3,060,821	)
Total, December 31, 2013	$	31,843,305	$	130,572		$	1,500,000	$	1,630,572		$	33,473,877

(1) Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims represents the sum of Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims.

(2) Total Claim Amount represents the sum of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and Maximum Amount of Unresolved Claims.

As previously disclosed, on September 26, 2013, the GUC Trust entered into a settlement agreement (the “Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement”), to resolve certain litigation (the “Nova Scotia Matter”) to disallow, equitably subordinate or reduce claims relating to notes (the “Nova Scotia Notes”) issued in 2003 by General Motors Nova Scotia Finance Company and guaranteed by MLC. The Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement became effective pursuant to its terms on November 25, 2013. As a result, Disputed General Unsecured Claims with an aggregate maximum asserted amount of $3,060.8 million were resolved, $1,550.0 million of which were allowed and approximately $1,510.8 million of which were disallowed. For additional information regarding the Nova Scotia Matter and the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement, see the disclosure in Item 1 (“Legal Proceedings”) in Part II of this Form 10-Q. See Note 4 for additional information regarding distributions of New GM Securities during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 pursuant to the terms of the Nova Scotia Settlement Agreement.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

8. Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

The income tax (provision) benefit in the Condensed Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, was determined by computing the deferred tax provisions for the interim periods using the GUC Trust’s statutory tax rate of 39.6% that became effective on April 1, 2013. There was no current tax provision in any of such periods. An annual effective tax rate is not determinable because the GUC Trust’s only significant source of income is gains on distributions of New GM Securities, which are not determinable until realized.

The components of the income tax (provision) benefit in the Condensed Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation for the respective three and nine month periods ended December, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Nine Months Ended December 31,

Deferred taxes in the accompanying Condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at December 31, 2013, are comprised of the following components:

Deferred tax assets:
Reserves for expected costs of liquidation	$	14,807
Net operating losses		107,812
Total deferred tax assets		122,619
Deferred tax liabilities:
Fair value in excess of tax basis of holdings of New GM Securities		(154,802	)
Total deferred tax liability		(154,802	)
Net deferred tax liability	$	(32,183	)

As previously disclosed in the GUC Trust’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the GUC Trust made a determination to file its U.S. federal income tax returns taking the tax position that beneficial ownership for a substantial majority of New GM Securities was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust on March 31, 2011, and that the tax basis of such New GM Securities should be determined with reference to the value of such securities on such date instead of December 15, 2011, when record ownership of the remaining New GM Securities still held by MLC was transferred from MLC to the GUC Trust. This new tax position resulted in an increased tax basis of the New GM Securities from the prior tax position and, therefore, reduced taxable gains and increased taxable losses on distributions and sales of New GM Securities since March 31, 2011. As a result, a tax benefit of $411.6 million (net of establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $103.9 million) related to the new tax position was recognized in the financial statements during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The benefit was recognized because the GUC Trust believed, based on the available evidence and consultation with GUC Trust professionals, that it was more likely than not that the new tax position will be sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service, based on the technical merits of the position. During the current quarter, the GUC Trust filed its U.S. federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2013 with the Internal Revenue Service using the new tax position. Such new tax position, however, as of the date hereof, has not been sustained on examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The valuation allowance against deferred tax assets referred to above of $103.9 million that was established in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, was reversed during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Such reversal was due to anticipated taxable gains exceeding deductible items primarily as a result of utilization of net operating loss carryovers in the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Such net operating loss carryovers were utilized as a result of the generation of taxable gains from the sale and distribution of New GM Securities during the quarter. Realization of the deferred tax assets is solely dependent upon the generation of taxable gains upon the distribution or sale of New GM Securities in the future, which is not determinable prior to occurrence.

As of December 31, 2013, the GUC Trust has cumulative net operating losses for tax purposes of $272.3 million (resulting in a deferred tax asset of $107.8 million) after giving effect to the new tax position with respect to the tax basis of New GM Securities described above.

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	45,311		$	20,458		$	511		$	1,067		$	1,796		$	69,143

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs (for which there is a reasonable basis for estimation) increased by $578,000 and $68,000, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2013, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs decreased by $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs each increased by approximately $6.8 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, estimates of expected Wind-Down Costs and estimates of expected Reporting Costs increased by $7.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Such revisions in the estimates were recorded as additions to (reductions in) the reserves for expected costs of liquidation in such periods. The GUC Trust has recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation that represent amounts expected to be incurred over the estimated remaining liquidation period of the GUC Trust for which there was a reasonable basis for estimation as of December 31, 2013.

The amount of liquidation costs that will ultimately be incurred depends both on that time period and on the extent of activities required for the GUC Trust to complete its functions and responsibilities under the Plan and the GUC Trust Agreement. Significant uncertainty remains both as to that time period and as to the extent of those activities. As of December 31, 2013, the recorded reserves for expected costs of liquidation reflect estimated costs for a remaining liquidation period extending through December 31, 2016, which has been estimated on a probability-weighted basis as permitted under U.S. GAAP and which the GUC Trust believes is the most appropriate measurement basis under the circumstances. The remaining liquidation period is dependent predominantly on the estimate of the remaining period of time for resolution of the Term Loan Avoidance Action, as well as certain additional estimated time as necessary to wind down the GUC Trust. In addition, certain liquidation costs that are expected to be prepaid by the GUC Trust upon its dissolution have also been estimated and accrued. It is reasonably possible that the GUC Trust’s estimates regarding the costs and remaining liquidation period could change in the near term.

In addition to serving as GUC Trust Administrator, Wilmington Trust Company continues to serve as trustee pursuant to the indentures for certain series of previously outstanding debt of MLC. Wilmington Trust Company has received and may continue to receive certain customary fees in amounts consistent with Wilmington Trust Company’s standard rates for such service. The Bankruptcy Court previously approved the creation of a segregated fund for the purposes of funding such fees for Wilmington Trust Company, as well as the other indenture trustees and fiscal and paying agents for previously outstanding debt of MLC. There were no such fees for Wilmington Trust Company during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

In addition, Wilmington Trust Company has also entered into certain arrangements with the GUC Trust pursuant to which it or its affiliates have previously received, and may in the future receive, reasonable and customary fees and commissions for services other than services in the capacity of GUC Trust Administrator. Such arrangements include the provision of custodial, investment advisory and brokerage services to the GUC Trust. The fees and commissions charged by Wilmington Trust Company and its affiliates pursuant to these arrangements are consistent with the standard fees and commissions charged by Wilmington Trust Company to unrelated third-parties in negotiated transactions. During the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013, the total amount of such fees and commissions was approximately $12,000 and $49,000, respectively. During the respective three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012, the total amount of such fees and commissions was approximately $30,000 and $94,000, respectively.

Description of Trust and Reporting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2013

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (“GUC Trust”) is a successor to Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corp.) (“MLC”) within the meaning of Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”). The GUC Trust holds, administers and directs the distribution of certain assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust Agreement (the “GUC Trust Agreement”), dated as of June 11, 2012, and as amended from time to time, and pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (the “Plan”), dated March 18, 2011, of MLC and its debtor affiliates (collectively, along with MLC, the “Debtors”), for the benefit of holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Debtors (“Allowed General Unsecured Claims”).

The GUC Trust was formed on March 30, 2011, as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, for the purposes of implementing the Plan and distributing the GUC Trust’s distributable assets. The Plan generally provides for the distribution of certain shares of common stock (“New GM Common Stock”) of the new General Motors Company, formerly known as NGMCO, Inc. (“New GM”), and certain warrants for the purchase of shares of such stock (the “New GM Warrants,” and, together with the New GM Common Stock, the “New GM Securities”) to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pro rata by the amount of such claims. In addition, the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will obtain, in the form of GUC Trust Units (as defined below), a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (if and to the extent such New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required for the satisfaction of previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims (as defined in Note 2) or liquidation for the payment of the expenses or liabilities of the GUC Trust) and certain cash, if any, remaining at the dissolution of the GUC Trust.

The GUC Trust exists solely for the purpose of resolving claims, distributing New GM Securities and winding down the affairs of MLC, all in accordance with a plan of liquidation of MLC approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the GUC Trust has prepared the accompanying financial statements on the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Under the liquidation basis of accounting as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted amount of cash into which an asset is expected to be converted during the liquidation period, while liabilities continue to be recognized at the amount required by other U.S. GAAP, and are not remeasured to reflect any anticipation that an entity will be legally released from an obligation. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, a reserve is established for estimated costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation period. Such costs are accrued when there is a reasonable basis for estimation. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. The valuation of assets at net realizable value, reserves for residual wind-down claims and reserves for expected costs of liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances known to the GUC Trust Administrator, and are subject to change.

As described above, the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units (“Trust Beneficiaries”). As Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved and allowed and thereby become Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the holders thereof become entitled to receive liquidating distributions of New GM Securities and GUC Trust Units pro rata by the amount of such Claims and, upon such occurrence, the GUC Trust incurs an obligation to distribute such securities. Accordingly, liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of such New GM Securities) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims (as defined in Note 2) were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence. Prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Rather, the beneficial interests of Trust Beneficiaries in the residual assets of the GUC Trust are reflected in Net Assets in Liquidation of the GUC Trust in the accompanying financial statements.

The accompanying (a) condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at March 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The GUC Trust believes all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The changes in net assets in liquidation for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the changes in net assets that may be expected for the full year. The GUC Trust believes that, although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, the accompanying interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the GUC Trust’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, included in the Form 10-K filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the GUC Trust Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and are subject to change.

Liquidation Basis of Accounting

Changes to U.S. GAAP are made by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The GUC Trust considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s, including those issued but not yet effective. ASU’s not noted herein were assessed and determined not to be applicable to the GUC Trust. In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB ASC and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods therein. The GUC Trust will adopt the provisions of this standard on April 1, 2014, and does not expect such adoption to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Description of Trust and Reporting Policies

1. Description of Trust and Reporting Policies

The Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (“GUC Trust”) is a successor to Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corp.) (“MLC”) within the meaning of Section 1145 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Bankruptcy Code”). The GUC Trust holds, administers and directs the distribution of certain assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust Agreement (the “GUC Trust Agreement”), dated as of June 11, 2012, and as amended from time to time, and pursuant to the Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan (the “Plan”), dated March 18, 2011, of MLC and its debtor affiliates (collectively, along with MLC, the “Debtors”), for the benefit of holders of allowed general unsecured claims against the Debtors (“Allowed General Unsecured Claims”).

The GUC Trust was formed on March 30, 2011, as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, for the purposes of implementing the Plan and distributing the GUC Trust’s distributable assets. The Plan generally provides for the distribution of certain shares of common stock (“New GM Common Stock”) of the new General Motors Company, formerly known as NGMCO, Inc. (“New GM”), and certain warrants for the purchase of shares of such stock (the “New GM Warrants,” and, together with the New GM Common Stock, the “New GM Securities”) to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims pro rata by the amount of such claims. In addition, the Plan provides that each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will obtain, in the form of GUC Trust Units (as defined below), a contingent right to receive, on a pro rata basis, additional shares of New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants (if and to the extent such New GM Common Stock and New GM Warrants are not required for the satisfaction of previously Disputed General Unsecured Claims (as defined in Note 2) or liquidation for the payment of the expenses or liabilities of the GUC Trust) and certain cash, if any, remaining at the dissolution of the GUC Trust.

The GUC Trust exists solely for the purpose of resolving claims, distributing New GM Securities and winding down the affairs of MLC, all in accordance with a plan of liquidation of MLC approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, the GUC Trust has prepared the accompanying financial statements on the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Under the liquidation basis of accounting as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable value, which is the non-discounted amount of cash into which an asset is expected to be converted during the liquidation period, while liabilities continue to be recognized at the amount required by other U.S. GAAP, and are not remeasured to reflect any anticipation that an entity will be legally released from an obligation. Additionally, under the liquidation basis of accounting, a reserve is established for estimated costs expected to be incurred during the liquidation period. Such costs are accrued when there is a reasonable basis for estimation. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. The valuation of assets at net realizable value, reserves for residual wind-down claims and reserves for expected costs of liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances known to the GUC Trust Administrator, and are subject to change.

As described above, the beneficiaries of the GUC Trust are future and, to the extent their liquidating distributions have not yet been paid to them, current holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and future and current holders of GUC Trust Units (“Trust Beneficiaries”). As Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved and allowed and thereby become Allowed General Unsecured Claims, the holders thereof become entitled to receive liquidating distributions of New GM Securities and GUC Trust Units pro rata by the amount of such Claims and, upon such occurrence, the GUC Trust incurs an obligation to distribute such securities. Accordingly, liquidating distributions payable are recorded (at the fair value of such New GM Securities) as of the end of the period in which the Disputed General Unsecured Claims are resolved as Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Similarly, to the extent potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims (as defined in Note 2) were to arise (and would become allowed) in the manner described in Note 2, liquidating distributions payable would be recorded for the New GM Securities (at fair value) that would become distributable to holders of Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims upon such occurrence. Prior to the resolution and allowance of Disputed General Unsecured Claims (or potential Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims), liabilities are not recorded for the conditional obligations associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims. Rather, the beneficial interests of Trust Beneficiaries in the residual assets of the GUC Trust are reflected in Net Assets in Liquidation of the GUC Trust in the accompanying financial statements.

The accompanying (a) condensed Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation at March 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The GUC Trust believes all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The changes in net assets in liquidation for the nine months ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the changes in net assets that may be expected for the full year. The GUC Trust believes that, although the disclosures contained herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, the accompanying interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the GUC Trust’s financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, included in the Form 10-K filed by the GUC Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2013.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the GUC Trust Administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and are subject to change.

Changes to U.S. GAAP are made by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The GUC Trust considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s, including those issued but not yet effective. ASU’s not noted herein were assessed and determined not to be applicable to the GUC Trust. In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Liquidation Basis of Accounting, which amended the FASB ASC and provides guidance as to when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The provisions are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim periods therein. The GUC Trust will adopt the provisions of this standard on April 1, 2014, and does not expect such adoption to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

6. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The GUC Trust’s Marketable Securities, Holdings of New GM Securities and Liquidating Distributions Payable are presented as provided by this hierarchy.

Level 1—In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the GUC Trust has the ability to access.

Level 2—Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3—Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. These Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the asset or liability. The GUC Trust had no assets or liabilities that are measured with Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The GUC Trust’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

The GUC Trust also holds other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities. The fair value of these liabilities approximates the carrying amounts in the accompanying financial statements due to the short maturity of such instruments.

The following table presents information about the GUC Trust’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and the valuation techniques used by the GUC Trust to determine those fair values.

Liabilities:
Liquidating distributions payable	$	16,555	$	—	$	—	$	16,555

The following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

• Due to its short-term, liquid nature, the fair value of cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

• Holdings of New GM Securities are valued at closing prices reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.

• Marketable securities include municipal commercial paper and variable demand notes and corporate commercial paper. Municipal variable demand notes trade daily at par value and, therefore, their fair value is equal to par value. Due to their short term maturities, the fair value of municipal and corporate commercial paper approximates their carrying value.

• Liquidating distributions payable are valued at closing prices of New GM Securities reported on the active market on which the securities are traded.

The GUC Trust’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the actual date of the event of change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no such transfers during the three or nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
