DELPHI CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
General Delphi Corporation
(Delphi) is a world-leading supplier of vehicle
electronics, transportation components, integrated systems and
modules and other electronic technology. The consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in this report
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our 2004 Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Delphi and its subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances between
consolidated Delphi businesses have been eliminated. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring items, which are necessary for a fair
presentation, have been included. The results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results which may be
expected from any other interim period or for the full year and
may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of Delphi in the
future.
Earnings (loss) Per Share Basic
earnings (loss) per share amounts were computed using weighted
average shares outstanding for each respective period. Diluted
earnings (loss) per share also reflect the weighted average
impact from the date of issuance of all potentially dilutive
securities during the periods presented, unless inclusion would
not have had a dilutive effect.
Actual weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating
basic and diluted earnings per share were:

The Board of Directors declared a dividend on Delphi common
stock of $0.03 per share on March 23, 2005, which was
paid on May 2, 2005 to holders of record on April 4,
2005. The dividend declared on December 8, 2004 was paid on
January 18, 2005.
Stock-Based Compensation Delphis
stock-based compensation programs include stock options,
restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights (SARs). As
allowed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, Delphi accounts for stock-based
compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. As such, Delphi has followed the
nominal vesting period approach for awards issued with
retirement eligible provisions, and will continue to follow this
approach for existing awards and new awards issued prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in January 2006. Following
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), Delphi will recognize
compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value
6
of the equity or liability instruments issued, with expense
recognized over the periods that an employee provides service in
exchange for the award. We are currently assessing the effects
of SFAS 123(R), but have not yet determined the impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
Stock options granted during 2004, 2003 and 2002 were
exercisable at prices equal to the fair market value of Delphi
common stock on the dates the options were granted; accordingly,
no compensation expense has been recognized for the stock
options granted. Compensation expense for the restricted stock
is recognized over the vesting period. Compensation expense for
SARs is recognized when the current stock price is greater than
the SARs exercise price. There were no stock options
granted during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
2004.
If we accounted for all stock-based compensation using the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and
related amendments, our net income (loss) and basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share would have been as follows:

In May 2004, Delphis existing outstanding equity
compensation plans expired and shareholders approved a new
equity compensation plan, which provides for issuances of up to
36.5 million shares of common stock. During the second
quarter of 2004, we issued approximately 4.5 million
restricted stock units and approximately 6.8 million
options. On March 1, 2005, we issued approximately
4.3 million restricted stock units under the Long Term
Incentive Plan approved by shareholders in May 2004. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, no stock options were awarded
under this plan. As of March 31, 2005, there are
approximately 21 million shares available for future grants
under these plans.
Retention Payments During the first
quarter of 2005, we implemented a retention program for
U.S. salaried employees. Under the terms of the program,
U.S. salaried employees received retention payments
totaling approximately $13 million in the first quarter of
2005. Substantially all U.S. salaried executives will
receive a series of payments between September 2005 and
September 2006. Employees who voluntarily separate from Delphi
prior to March 1, 2008 have agreed and will be required to
repay the retention payments. The cost associated with the
retention program is being recognized over the related service
period, from March 2005 through February 2008.

EMPLOYEE AND PRODUCT LINE CHARGES |
In the third quarter of 2003, Delphi approved plans to reduce
our U.S. hourly workforce by up to approximately 5,000
employees, our U.S. salaried workforce by approximately 500
employees, and other non-U.S. workforce by approximately
3,000 employees. Our plans entail reductions to our workforce
through a variety of methods including regular attrition and
retirements, and voluntary and involuntary separations, as
applicable. Under certain elements of the plans, the
International Union, United
7
Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of
America (UAW) hourly employees may return
(flowback) to General Motors (GM). As
required under generally accepted accounting principles, we
record the costs associated with the flowback to GM as the
employees accept the offer to exit Delphi. In conjunction with
such plans, we recorded charges for employee costs in the first
quarter of 2004 of $38 million, which is included in
employee and product line charges.
Delphi has and will continue to seek to transform its operating
cost structure to increase the proportion of manufacturing
conducted in regions of the world where labor costs are lower.
In conjunction therewith, we recorded $34 and $52 million
in cost of good sold in the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively, related to on-going employee
attrition programs. Such costs include cash-based payments,
costs for increased employee benefit liabilities, and other
employee liabilities.

product line charges (in millions):

During the first quarter of 2005 and 2004, we paid
$26 million and $193 million, respectively, related to
our restructuring plans announced in the third quarter of 2003.
We expect that less than $0.1 billion related to the third
quarter 2003 plans will be paid in subsequent quarters in 2005
and the remainder in 2006.
U.S. Program
We maintain a revolving accounts receivable securitization
program in the U.S. (U.S. Facility
Program). In March 2005, Delphi amended and renewed
through March 22, 2006 its U.S. Facility Program,
increasing the borrowing limit from $600 million to
$731 million. In addition, the U.S. Facility Program
was amended to conform the leverage ratio financial covenant
consistent with the amended covenant in our revolving credit
facilities (the Credit Facilities). Also, the
U.S. program lenders granted waivers similar to those
granted under the Credit Facilities amendments. The
U.S. program amendment also allows Delphi to maintain
effective control over the receivables such that effective March
2005, this program, which was previously accounted for as a sale
of receivables, will be accounted for as a secured borrowing. At
March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants
applicable to the U.S. Facility Program.
Under the U.S. Facility Program, we transfer a portion of
our U.S. originated trade receivables to Delphi Receivables
LLC (DR), a wholly owned consolidated special
purpose entity. DR may then transfer, on a non-recourse basis
(subject to certain limited exceptions), an undivided interest
in the receivables to asset-backed, multi-seller commercial
paper conduits (Conduits). Neither the Conduits nor
the associated banks are related to Delphi or DR. The Conduits
typically finance the purchases through the issuance of A1/P1
rated commercial paper. In the event that the Conduits become
unable to or otherwise elect not to issue commercial paper and
make purchases, the associated banks are obligated to make the
purchases. The sale of the undivided interest in the receivables
from DR to the Conduits was accounted for as a sale under the
provisions of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for the
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities (SFAS 140) in periods
through
8
December 31, 2004. Through 2004, when DR sold an undivided
interest to the Conduits, DR retained the remaining undivided
interest. The value of the undivided interest sold to the
Conduits was excluded from our consolidated balance sheet
thereby reducing our accounts receivable in periods through
December 31, 2004. The value of the retained interest in
receivables held by DR, which may include eligible undivided
interests that we elect not to sell, was shown separately on our
consolidated balance sheet and therefore is not included in our
accounts receivable in 2004. As of December 31, 2004, the
retained interest in receivables was $726 million. We
assessed the recoverability of the retained interest on a
quarterly basis and adjusted to the carrying value as necessary.
At the time DR sold the undivided interest to the Conduits the
sale was recorded at fair value with the difference between the
carrying amount and fair value of the assets sold included in
operating income as a loss on sale. This difference between
carrying value and fair value is principally the estimated
discount inherent in the U.S. Facility Program, which
reflects the borrowing costs as well as fees and expenses of the
Conduits (1.4% to 1.6% in the first quarter of 2004), and the
length of time the receivables are expected to be outstanding.
The loss on sale was approximately $0.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2004. Additionally, we perform
collections and administrative functions on the receivables
transferred similar to the procedures we use for collecting all
of our receivables, including receivables that are not
transferred under the U.S. Facility Program. We can elect
to keep the collections and transfer additional receivables in
exchange; or, we can transfer the cash collections to the
Conduits thereby reducing the amount of transfers of undivided
interests to the Conduits. The nature of the collection and
administrative activities and the terms of the
U.S. Facility Program did not result in the recognition of
a servicing asset or liability in 2004 under the provisions of
SFAS 140 because the benefits of servicing were just
adequate to compensate us for our servicing responsibilities.
In June 2005, Delphi further amended the U.S. Facility
Program to add a new co-purchaser to the program, to adjust the
borrowing limit from $731 million to $730 million, and
to conform the leverage ratio financial covenant consistent to
the amended Facilities covenant. The U.S. Facility Program
lenders also granted waivers similar to those granted under the
Facilities amendments.
European Program
On December 23, 2004, we renewed the trade receivable
securitization program for certain of our European accounts
receivable at
225 million
($292 million at March 31, 2005 currency exchange
rates) and £10 million ($19 million at
March 31, 2005 currency exchange rates). Accounts
receivable transferred under this program are accounted for as
short-term debt. As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, we had no
significant accounts receivable transferred under this program.
The program expires on December 1, 2005 and can be
extended, based upon the mutual agreement of the parties.
Additionally, the European program contains a financial covenant
and certain other covenants similar to our Credit Facilities
that, if not met, could result in a termination of the
agreement. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, we were in
compliance with all such covenants.
In March 2005, Delphi amended the European trade receivables
securitization program. The European program was also amended to
conform the leverage ratio financial covenant consistent with
the amended credit facilities covenant and amend other
procedural terms.
We recognize expected warranty costs for products sold
principally at the time of sale of the product based on
management estimates of the amount that will eventually be
required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on
several factors including past experience, production changes,
industry developments and various other considerations. Our
estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and
circumstances that impact the status of existing claims.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS |
Pension plans covering unionized employees in the
U.S. generally provide benefits of negotiated stated
amounts for each year of service, as well as supplemental
benefits for employees who qualify for retirement before normal
retirement age. The benefits provided by the plans covering
U.S. salaried employees
