GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Operations

General Motors Company is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors” or “GM.” General Motors Corporation is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the periods on or before July 9, 2009, as “Old GM.” On July 10, 2009 in connection with the 363 Sale relating to Old GM’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, General Motors Corporation changed its name to Motors Liquidation Company, which is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods after July 10, 2009 as “MLC.” MLC continues to exist as a distinct legal entity for the sole purpose of liquidating its remaining assets and liabilities.

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and parts worldwide. We also conduct finance operations through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). These financing operations consist principally of financing automobile purchases and leases for retail customers.

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments, which are GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

We own a 9.9% equity interest in Ally Financial, which is accounted for as a cost method investment because we are not able to exercise significant influence. Ally Financial provides a broad range of financial services, including consumer vehicle financing, automotive dealership and other commercial financing, residential mortgage services and automobile service contracts.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K) as filed with the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries that we control due to ownership of a majority voting interest. We continually evaluate our involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) to determine whether we have variable interests and are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. When this criteria is met, we are required to consolidate the VIE. Our share of earnings or losses of nonconsolidated affiliates is included in our consolidated operating results using the equity method of accounting when we are able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate. We use the cost method of accounting if we are not able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of the affiliate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

GM Financial

The assets and liabilities of GM Financial, our automotive finance operations, are presented on a non-classified basis. The amounts presented for GM Financial have been adjusted to include the effect of our tax attributes on GM Financial’s deferred tax positions and provision for income taxes since the date of acquisition, which are not applicable to GM Financial on a stand-alone basis, and to eliminate the effect of transactions between GM Financial and the other members of the consolidated group. Accordingly, the amounts presented will differ from those presented by GM Financial on a stand-alone basis.

Prior Period Financial Statements Conformed to Current Period Presentation

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we have recorded foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt as non-operating items. This is a change from prior period presentations in which foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt were recorded in Automotive cost of sales. We have reclassified the prior periods of General Motors Company to conform to our current presentation. The effects of this reclassification will decrease Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $34 million from July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and $38 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 while increasing Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $107 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries changed their functional currency from Bolivar Fuerte (BsF), the local currency, to the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency, on January 1, 2010 because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. Pursuant to the official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency and establishment of the dual fixed exchange rates (essential rate of BsF 2.60 to $1.00 and nonessential rate of BsF 4.30 to $1.00) in January 2010, we remeasured the BsF denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by our Venezuelan subsidiaries at the nonessential rate of 4.30 BsF to $1.00. The remeasurement resulted in a charge of $25 million recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

In June 2010 the Venezuelan government introduced additional foreign currency exchange control regulations, which imposed restrictions on the use of the parallel foreign currency exchange market, thereby making it more difficult to convert BsF to U.S. Dollars. We periodically accessed the parallel exchange market, which historically enabled entities to obtain foreign currency for transactions that could not be processed by the Commission for the Administration of Currency Exchange (CADIVI). The restrictions on the foreign currency exchange market could affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries’ ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by CADIVI at the official exchange rates as well as our ability to benefit from those operations.

In December 2010 another official devaluation of the Venezuelan currency was announced that eliminated the essential rate effective January 1, 2011. The devaluation did not have an effect on the 2010 consolidated financial statements, however, it will affect results of operations in subsequent years because our Venezuelan subsidiaries will no longer realize gains that result from favorable foreign currency exchanges processed by CADIVI at the essential rate for the requests submitted subsequent to the devaluation date.

The following tables provide financial information for our Venezuelan subsidiaries at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 which include amounts receivable from and payable to, and transactions with, affiliated entities (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Total automotive assets (a)	$	1,320	$	1,322
Total automotive liabilities (b)	$	980	$	985

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011		Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Total net sales and revenue	$	372	$	245
Net income attributable to stockholders (c)	$	2	$	106

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(a)	Includes BsF denominated and non-BsF denominated monetary assets of $271 million and $639 million at March 31, 2011 and $393 million and $527 million at December 31, 2010.

(b)	Includes BsF denominated and non-BsF denominated monetary liabilities of $528 million and $452 million at March 31, 2011 and $661 million and $324 million at December 31, 2010.

(c)

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 a gain of $119 million is included related to the devaluation of the BsF in January 2010 which was offset by a $144 million loss recorded by U.S. entities on BsF denominated assets, which is not included in the Net income attributable to stockholders reported above. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are gains of $5 million and $15 million due to favorable foreign currency exchanges that were processed by CADIVI at the essential rate. The gain in the three months ended March 31, 2011 is related to requests for foreign currency exchanges submitted to CADIVI prior to the devaluation effective January 1, 2011.

The total amount pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was BsF 2.4 billion (equivalent to $554 million) and BsF 1.9 billion (equivalent to $432 million), for which some requests have been pending from 2007. The amounts outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 include payables to affiliated entities of $364 million and $263 million, each of which include dividends payable of $144 million.

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In September 2009 the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements” (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 addresses the unit of accounting for multiple-element arrangements. In addition, ASU 2009-13 revises the method by which consideration is allocated among the units of accounting. Specifically, the overall consideration is allocated to each deliverable by establishing a selling price for individual deliverables based on a hierarchy of evidence, involving vendor-specific objective evidence, other third party evidence of the selling price or the reporting entity’s best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement. ASU 2009-13 was effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (ASU 2010-28). The amendments in ASU 2010-28 modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Any resulting goodwill impairment is recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings at the date of adoption with future impairments recorded to earnings. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on the adoption of ASU 2010-28 and its effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Acquisition and Disposals of Businesses

Acquisition of Additional GM Korea Interests

On March 31, 2011 we completed the acquisition of an additional 6.9% interest in GM Korea Company, formerly GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. (GM Korea) for a cash purchase price of $100 million. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retain the controlling financial interest in GM Korea. As a result of this transaction we reduced our equity attributable to Noncontrolling interests by $134 million and our Accumulated other comprehensive income by $7 million, and increased our Capital surplus by $41 million. After completing this transaction, we now own 77.0% of the outstanding shares of GM Korea.

Saab Sale

In February 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile AB (Saab) and in May 2010 we completed the sale of Saab Automobile GB to Spyker Cars NV. Of the negotiated cash purchase price of $74 million, we received $50 million at closing and received the remaining $24 million in July 2010. We also received preference shares in Saab with a face value of $326 million and an estimated fair value that is insignificant and received $114 million as repayment of the debtor-in-possession financing that we provided to Saab during 2009. In the three months March 31, 2010 we recorded a gain of $123 million in Interest income and other non-operating income, net reflecting cash received of $166 million less net assets with a book value of $43 million.

Acquisition of GM Financial

In October 2010 we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of GM Financial (formerly AmeriCredit Corp.), an automotive finance company, for cash of $3.5 billion. The results of GM Financial are included in our results beginning October 1, 2010.

Sale of New Delphi

In March 2011 we sold our Class A Membership Interests in Delphi Automotive LLP (New Delphi) to New Delphi for $3.8 billion. The Class A Membership Interests sold represented 100% of our direct and indirect interests in New Delphi and 100% of New Delphi’s Class A Membership Interests issued and outstanding. The sale terminated any direct and indirect obligation to loan New Delphi up to $500 million under a term loan facility established in October 2009 when New Delphi was created and the Class A Membership Interests were issued. New Delphi had not borrowed under this loan facility. We recorded a gain of $1.6 billion related to the sale in Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Our existing supply contracts with New Delphi were not affected by this transaction.

Impairment of Investment in HKJV

In December 2009 we and SAIC Motor Hong Kong Investment Limited (SAIC-HK) entered into a joint venture, SAIC GM Investment Limited (HKJV) to invest in automotive projects outside of markets in China, initially focusing on markets in India. On February 1, 2010 we sold certain of our operations in India (GM India), part of our GMIO segment to HKJV, in exchange for a promissory note due in 2013. The amount due under the promissory note may be partially reduced, or increased, based on GM India’s cumulative earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the three year period ending December 31, 2012. In connection with the sale we recorded net consideration of $185 million and an insignificant gain. The sale transaction resulted in a loss of control and the deconsolidation of GM India on February 1, 2010. Accordingly, we removed the assets and liabilities of GM India from our consolidated financial statements and recorded an equity interest in HKJV to reflect cash of $50 million we contributed to HKJV and a $123 million commitment to provide additional capital that we are required to make in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement. We recorded a corresponding liability to reflect our obligation to provide additional capital.

In March 2011 there was a change in the local tax regulations which significantly extended the period of time over which GM India will receive certain value added tax based investment incentives. The delay in recovery of these incentives significantly affected GM India’s cash flow and EBIT forecasts, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of HKJV. The fair value of our investment in HKJV at March 31, 2011 was determined to be $112 million compared to a carrying amount of $151 million. The loss in value was considered to be other than temporary and, therefore, we recorded an impairment charge of $39 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In addition, we recorded other charges totaling $67 million related to our investment in the HKJV in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Sales and income of our China JVs are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each joint venture is reflected as Equity income, net of tax and gain on disposal of investments.

SGM is a joint venture established by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) (51%) and us (49%) in 1997. SGM has interests in three other joint ventures in China — SGM Norsom, SGM DY and SGM DYPT. These three joint ventures are jointly held by SGM (50%), SAIC (25%) and us (25%). The four joint ventures (SGM Group) are engaged in the production, import, and sale of a comprehensive range of products under the brands of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac.

In February 2010 we sold a 1% ownership interest in SGM to SAIC-HK, reducing our ownership interest to 49%. The sale of the 1% ownership interest to SAIC was predicated on our ability to work with SAIC to obtain a $400 million line of credit from a commercial bank to us. We also received a call option to repurchase the 1% which is contingently exercisable based on events which we do not unilaterally control. As part of the loan arrangement SAIC provided a commitment whereby, in the event of default, SAIC will purchase the ownership interest in SGM that we pledged as collateral for the loan. We recorded an insignificant gain on this transaction.

In November 2010 we purchased an additional 10% interest in SGMW from the Liuzhou Wuling Motors Co., Ltd. and Liuzhou Mini Vehicles Factory, collectively the Wuling Group, for cash of $52 million plus an agreement to provide technical services to the Wuling Group for a period of three years. As a result of this transaction, we own 44%, SAIC owns 50.1% and certain Liuzhou investors own 5.9% of the outstanding stock of SGMW.

Accumulated impairment charges	$	—	$	(1,861	)	$	—	$	—	$	(1,861	)	$	—	$	(1,861	)

We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME has a negative carrying amount and despite the fair value of GME’s equity being greater than its carrying amount, we performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings of $1.5 billion for our GME reporting unit. In addition, because GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and it was more likely than not that a further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2011, an impairment charge of $395 million was recorded in Goodwill impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on ASU 2010-28.

The valuation methodologies utilized to perform our goodwill impairment testing for GME were consistent with those used in our application of fresh-start reporting on July 10, 2009, as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Form 10-K, and in our 2010 annual goodwill impairment testing at October 1, 2010. The fair value measures used in our analyses were Level 3 measures. Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly, we calculated GME’s implied goodwill in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 “Business Combinations” (ASC 805).

In performing our Step 2 analyses, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair values of GME at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011. These fair value estimates utilized a weighted-average cost of capital of 17.0% and 16.5 % at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 20011 that considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums, and tax rates; a terminal value that was determined using a growth model that applied a long-term growth rate of 0.5% to our projected cash flows beyond 2015; and industry sales of 18.4 million and a market share for GME of 6.56% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.42% market share in 2015. The fair value of property was determined based on its highest and best use utilizing a combination of the market or sales comparison approach, the cost approach and/or the income approach. The fair values of GME’s brands were determined based on a relief from royalty method and the fair value of GME’s dealer network was determined on a cost approach. Based on these fair value measures, we determined GME’s implied goodwill represents only the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon application of fresh-start reporting.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Our Step 2 analyses indicated GME’s implied goodwill was less that its recorded goodwill; therefore, goodwill was adjusted at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011. The adjustments to goodwill represent the net decreases, from July 10, 2009 through January 1, 2011 and from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011, in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting. The net decreases resulted primarily from: (1) a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009; (2) an increase in high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit plan obligations since January 1, 2011; and (3) a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk.

Future goodwill impairments could occur within GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease, GME continues to have a negative carrying amount, and the fair value of the GME reporting unit does not increase sufficiently to offset such decreases or such increase in fair value results in a corresponding increase in the fair value of other identifiable assets without giving rise to additional implied goodwill. The difference between these fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences would decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating or a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates, thus resulting in a decrease in the spread between our employee benefit related obligations under U.S. GAAP and their fair values. The fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting within GME also included deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Similarly, a decrease would also occur upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances within GME. Should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease for these reasons, without an increase in the fair value of the GME reporting unit sufficient to offset such decreases, the implied goodwill balance will decline and future goodwill impairments would occur and may be material. Any declines would have a negative effect on our earnings and would be included in Goodwill impairment charges. Future goodwill impairments could also occur within our other reporting units, including GMNA, should we first fail Step 1 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis and the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above also decrease.

We believe future goodwill impairment charges could occur in 2011 related to GME because GME has a negative carrying amount and it is possible: (1) a decrease in the credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk could occur and/or (2) a decrease in our nonperformance risk or improvement in our credit rating could occur.

Note 11. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary primarily include certain vehicles sales and marketing joint ventures, the most significant of which is GM Egypt, and certain other automotive or financial support entities.

Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims to us and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIE operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations. GM Korea, a non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiary that we control through a majority voting interest, is also a VIE because in the future it may require additional subordinated financial support. The creditors of GM Korea’s short-term debt of $117 million and $70 million, current derivative liabilities of $49 million and $111 million and long-term debt of $8 million and $835 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 do not have recourse to our general credit. In February 2011 we provided a guarantee to Korean Development Bank, a minority shareholder in GM Korea, to redeem GM Korea’s preferred shares should GM Korea not have sufficient legally distributable earnings. This guarantee decreased the amount of long-term debt which did not have recourse to our general credit in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Automotive Financing

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. GM Financial retains an interest in these credit facilities and securitization trusts which are structured without recourse.

GM Financial’s continuing involvement with the credit facilities and securitization trusts includes servicing loans and leases held by the SPEs and holding a residual interest in the SPE. The SPEs are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk, and are consolidated because GM Financial is the primary beneficiary and has the power over those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the SPEs, and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the SPEs which are potentially significant.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

GM Financial is not required to provide any additional financial support to its sponsored credit facilities and securitization SPEs. The finance receivables, leased assets and other assets held by these subsidiaries are not available to our creditors or creditors of our other subsidiaries.

Refer to Notes 5, 6 and 13 for additional information on GM Financial’s involvement with the SPEs and disclosures related to the amounts held by the consolidated SPEs as of the balance sheet dates.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated because we are not the primary beneficiary primarily include certain vehicle sales and marketing joint ventures and other automotive or financial support entities, including American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (American Axle), Ally Financial, Saab and HKJV.

Variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs include guarantees and financial support provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production are not disrupted due to a supplier’s liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns. The maximum exposure to loss related to these VIEs is not expected to be in excess of the amount of net accounts and notes receivable recorded with the suppliers and any related guarantees and loan commitments. Investments in joint ventures that manufacture, market and sell vehicles in certain markets are typically self-funded and financed with no contractual terms that require us to provide future financial support. Future funding is required for HKJV, as subsequently discussed. The maximum exposure to loss is not expected to be in excess of the carrying amount of the investments recorded in Equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates and in any related capital funding requirements.

The following table summarizes the amounts recorded for nonconsolidated VIEs and the related off-balance sheet guarantees and maximum exposure to loss, excluding Ally Financial that is disclosed in Note 24 (dollars in millions):

Stated contractual voting or similar rights for certain of our joint venture arrangements provide various parties with shared power over the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of certain nonconsolidated VIEs. Such nonconsolidated VIEs are operating joint ventures located in developing international markets.

American Axle

We concluded that American Axle was a VIE for which we were not the primary beneficiary and we currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of American Axle that most significantly affect its economic performance. Our variable interest in American Axle is a second lien term loan facility in which American Axle can borrow up to $100 million. Warrants to purchase American Axle common stock will be granted if amounts are drawn on the second lien term loan facility. At March 31, 2011 no amounts were outstanding under the second lien term loan facility. Refer to Note 16 for additional information on previously granted and sold American Axle warrants.

Ally Financial

We own 9.9% of Ally Financial’s common stock. Ally Financial is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk; however, we are not the primary beneficiary and we currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of Ally Financial that most significantly affect its economic performance. Refer to Notes 19 and 24 for additional information on Ally Financial, including our investment, sale of our Ally Financial preferred stock in March 2011 and our maximum exposure under agreements with Ally Financial.

Saab

Our primary variable interest in Saab is the preference shares that we received in connection with the sale, which have a face value of $326 million and were recorded at an estimated fair value that is insignificant. We concluded that Saab is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We also determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we lack the power to direct those activities that most significantly affect its economic performance. We continue to be obligated to fund certain Saab related liabilities, primarily warranty obligations related to vehicles sold prior to the disposition of Saab. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the sale of Saab.

HKJV

We determined that HKJV is a VIE because it will require additional subordinated financial support, and we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary because we share the power with SAIC-HK to direct those activities that most significantly affect HKJV’s economic performance.

Note 15. Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits

Contributions

In January 2011 we completed the previously announced voluntary contribution of 61 million shares of our common stock to our U.S. hourly and salaried pension plans. At the time of contribution, the fair value was $2.2 billion for funding purposes. This was a voluntary contribution that is above our minimum funding requirements of the pension plans. The contributed shares qualify as a plan asset for funding purposes immediately, and will qualify as a plan asset for accounting purposes when certain transfer restrictions are removed, which is expected in 2011. We are evaluating whether we will make additional voluntary contributions to our U.S. pension plans in 2011.

Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In accordance with our risk management policy, we enter into a variety of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity derivative contracts in connection with the management of exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices.

Our derivative instruments consist primarily of forward contracts and options. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 no outstanding derivative contracts were designated in hedging relationships other than those derivative contracts designated in a hedging relationship by GM Financial. Refer to Note 19 for additional information on the fair value measurements of our derivative instruments.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Derivative financial instruments contain an element of credit risk attributable to the counterparties’ ability to meet the terms of the agreements. Certain of our agreements with counterparties require, under certain circumstances, that the counterparty post collateral with us for net asset positions. Agreements are entered into with counterparties that allow the set-off of certain exposures in order to manage the risk. The following table summarizes our counterparty credit risk related to derivative positions (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010
Collateral held from counterparties (a)	$	76	$	74
Gross derivative asset position exposed to loss (b)	$	85	$	143
Net derivative asset position exposed to loss (c)	$	64	$	108

(a)	Related obligation recorded in Accrued liabilities.

(b)	Represents the maximum exposure to loss on derivative asset positions calculated as the gross derivative asset position less collateral we held (excluding embedded derivatives).

(c)	Net exposure to loss calculated as net derivative asset position for all counterparties with which we were in a net asset position, less the collateral we held (excluding embedded derivatives).

At March 31, 2011 substantially all derivative counterparty exposures were with counterparties that were rated A- or higher.

Credit Risk Related Contingent Features

Certain of our agreements with counterparties require that we provide cash collateral for net liability positions that we may have with such counterparty. At March 31, 2011 no collateral was posted related to derivative instruments, and we did not have any agreements with counterparties to derivative instruments containing covenants requiring the maintenance of certain credit rating levels or credit risk ratios that would require the posting of collateral in the event that such covenants are violated.

Guarantees

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of certain operating leases. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2011 to 2035. Certain leases contain renewal options.

We provide payment guarantees on commercial loans made by Ally Financial and outstanding with certain third parties, such as dealers or rental car companies. These guarantees either expire in years ranging from 2012 to 2029 or are ongoing. We determined the value ascribed to the guarantees to be insignificant based on the credit worthiness of the third parties. Refer to Note 24 for additional information on guarantees that we provide to Ally Financial.

We have agreements with third parties that guarantee the fulfillment of certain suppliers’ commitments, third party commercial loans and other obligations. These guarantees expire in years ranging from 2011 to 2018 or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances, certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. At March 31, 2011 any proceeds we would receive from collateral were insignificant.

In connection with certain divestitures of assets or operating businesses, we have entered into agreements indemnifying certain buyers and other parties with respect to environmental conditions pertaining to real property we owned. We have provided guarantees with respect to benefits to be paid to former employees of divested businesses relating to pensions, postretirement healthcare and life

insurance. We periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. It is not possible to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemnifications or guarantees due to the conditional nature of these obligations. No amounts have been recorded for such obligations as they are not probable or estimable at this time, and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements mentioned previously, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. Due to the nature of these agreements, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments to which we may be exposed cannot be estimated. No amounts have been recorded for such indemnities as our obligations under them are not probable or estimable at this time, and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements previously discussed, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims as subsequently discussed.

With respect to other product-related claims involving products manufactured by certain joint ventures, we believe that costs incurred are adequately covered by recorded accruals. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2020 to 2026.

Environmental Liability

Automotive operations, like operations of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental remediation. We are in various stages of investigation or remediation for sites where contamination has been alleged. We are involved in a number of actions to remediate hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Such statutes require that responsible parties fund remediation actions regardless of fault, legality of original disposal or ownership of a disposal site.

The future effect of environmental matters, including potential liabilities, is often difficult to estimate. An environmental reserve is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. This practice is followed whether the claims are asserted or unasserted. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from 5 to 30 years.

For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible may vary because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as the connection to the site or to materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions and the nature and scope of investigations, studies and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration and success of remediation).

The final outcome of environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, it is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2011 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $150 million to $370 million.

Product Liability

With respect to product liability claims involving our and Old GM’s products, it is believed that any judgment against us for actual damages will be adequately covered by our recorded accruals and, where applicable, excess insurance coverage. Although punitive damages are claimed in some of these lawsuits, and such claims are inherently unpredictable, accruals incorporate historic experience with these types of claims. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected cost of all known product liability claims plus an estimate of the expected cost for all product liability claims that have already been incurred and are expected to be filed in the future for which we are self-insured. These amounts were recorded in Accrued liabilities.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In accordance with our assumption of dealer sales and service agreements, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims. Our experience related to dealer indemnification obligations where we are not a party arising from incidents prior to July 10, 2009 is limited. We monitor actual claims experience for consistency with this estimate and make periodic adjustments as appropriate. Since July 10, 2009, the volume of product liability claims against us has been less than projected. In addition, as of this time due to the relatively short period for which we have been directly responsible for such claims, we have fewer pending matters than Old GM had in the past and than we expect in the future. Based on both management judgments concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims against us, we have estimated the associated liability. We expect our product liability reserve to rise in future periods as new claims arise from incidents subsequent to July 9, 2009.

Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us including matters arising out of alleged product defects, including asbestos-related claims; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which it is believed that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 as well as various non-U.S. labor-related matters. Tax related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740 (indirect tax-related matters) are items being litigated globally pertaining to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales, property taxes and other non-income tax related tax exposures. The various non-U.S. labor-related matters include claims from current and former employees related to alleged unpaid wage, benefit, severance, and other compensation matters. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds in escrow; such escrow deposits may range from $590 million to $780 million. Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive, or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs, or sanctions, that if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2011. We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. Reserves for litigation losses are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. These accrued reserves represent the best estimate of amounts believed to be our liability in a range of expected losses. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Commencing on or about September 29, 2010, current and former hourly employees of GM Korea, our majority-owned affiliate in the Republic of Korea, filed six separate group actions in the Incheon District Court in Incheon, Korea. The cases allege that GM Korea failed to include certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act. Similar cases have been brought against other large employers in the Republic of Korea. GM Korea’s accrual balance at March 31, 2011 was 122 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $110 million) in connection with these cases. At September 30, 2010 GM Korea initially recorded the accrual (70% of which was recorded in Net income attributable to stockholders, based on our ownership interest in GM Korea at that time). The current estimate of the value of plaintiffs’ claim, if allowed in full, exceeds the accrual by 447 billion Korean Won (equivalent to $404 million). GM Korea believes the claims in excess of the accrual are without merit but, given the inherent uncertainties of the litigation process and further uncertainties arising because this litigation is at its earliest stages, this amount represents the high end of the range of reasonably possible liability exposure. Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea’s assessment of any or all of individual claim elements may change. This accrual is included in the reserves for non-U.S. labor-related matters.

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former Canadian GMCL dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL. In May 2009, in the context of the global restructuring of the business and the possibility that GMCL might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GMCL offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

with their exit from the GMCL Canadian dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion by December 31, 2009 or such other date as GMCL approved but no later than upon the expiration of the Plaintiff Dealers’ Dealer Sales and Service Agreements (DSSAs) on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the DSSAs were wrongly terminated by GMCL and that GMCL failed to comply with certain disclosure obligations, breached its statutory duty of fair dealing and unlawfully interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers’ statutory right to associate in an attempt to coerce the Plaintiff Dealers into accepting the wind-down agreements. The Plaintiff Dealers seek damages and assert that the wind-down agreements are rescindable. The Plaintiff Dealers’ initial pleading makes reference to a claim “not exceeding” CAD $750 million, without explanation of any specific measure of damages. On March 1, 2011 the Court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues, including: (1) whether GMCL breached its obligation of “good faith” in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers’ rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the Plaintiff Dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). GMCL has sought permission to appeal the class certification decision and is vigorously defending the Plaintiff Dealer claims. At this juncture, the prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable, we have no accrual relating to this litigation. In addition, we cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in the event of liability, as the case presents a variety of different legal theories, none of which GMCL believes are valid, on behalf of a large number of Plaintiff Dealers, each of which presents substantial differences in underlying facts and circumstances which GMCL believes should affect both potential liability and recoverable damages, if any, on an individual basis.

Liability Related to Contingently Issuable Shares

Under the Amended and Restated Master Sale and Purchase Agreement, as amended between us and Old GM and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, we are obligated to issue additional shares of our common stock to MLC (Adjustment Shares) in the event that allowed general unsecured claims against MLC, as estimated by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, exceed $35.0 billion. The maximum number of Adjustment Shares issuable is 30 million shares (subject to adjustment to take into account stock dividends, stock splits and other transactions). The number of Adjustment Shares to be issued is calculated based on the extent to which estimated general unsecured claims exceed $35.0 billion with the maximum number of Adjustment Shares issued if estimated general unsecured claims total $42.0 billion or more. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we concluded it was not probable that general unsecured claims would exceed $35.0 billion. We believe it is reasonably possible that general unsecured claims allowed against MLC will range between $32.5 billion and $36.0 billion.

GME Planned Spending Guarantee

As part of our Opel/Vauxhall restructuring plan agreed to with European labor representatives, we have committed to achieving specified milestones associated with planned spending from 2011 to 2014 on certain product programs. If we fail to accomplish the requirements set out under the agreement, we will be required to pay certain amounts up to Euro 265 million for each of those years, and/or interest on those amounts, to our employees. Certain inventory with a carrying amount of $192 million and $193 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Management has the intent and believes it has the ability to meet the requirements under the agreement.

Note 18. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date ordinary income/loss. The tax effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 income tax expense of $137 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, primarily due to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 income tax expense of $509 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation and a taxable foreign currency exchange gain in Venezuela.

We file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We have open tax years from 2001 to 2010 with various significant tax jurisdictions. These open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle. In addition the global nature of our operations creates a risk that transfer pricing disputes may arise.

Based on an unfavorable Brazilian Supreme court decision rendered to an unrelated Brazilian taxpayer on a similar income tax matter, it is likely we will settle a contested income tax matter for $246 million in the next 12 months. This amount was fully reserved in a prior period.

At March 31, 2011, aside from the Brazilian matter, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

Note 19. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

A three-level valuation hierarchy is used for fair value measurements. The three-level valuation hierarchy is based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and

•

Level 3 — Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable.

Financial instruments are transferred in and/or out of Level 3 at the beginning of the accounting period based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable inputs, observable components that are validated to external sources.

Securities are classified in Level 1 when quoted prices in an active market for identical securities are available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values of securities are determined using prices from a pricing vendor, pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow models and are generally classified in Level 2. These prices represent non-binding quotes. U.S. government and agency securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt securities are classified in Level 2. Our pricing vendor utilizes industry-standard pricing models that consider various inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. Securities are classified in Level 3 in certain cases where there are significant unobservable inputs to the valuation in the marketplace.

We conduct an annual review of our pricing vendor. This review includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing vendor to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include interest rate yields, bid/ask quotes, prepayment speeds and prices for comparable securities. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing vendor are a reliable representation of exit prices.

All derivatives are recorded at fair value. Internal models are used to value a majority of derivatives. The models use as their basis readily observable market inputs, such as time value, forward interest rates, volatility factors and current and forward market prices

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

for commodities and foreign currency exchange rates. Level 2 includes certain foreign currency derivatives, commodity derivatives, certain interest rate swaps, and warrants. Derivative contracts and other liabilities that are valued based upon models with significant unobservable market inputs are classified in Level 3.

Ally Financial Common and Preferred Stock

We estimated the fair value of Ally Financial common stock using a market approach that applies the average price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies to the consolidated Ally Financial tangible book value. The significant inputs used in our fair value analysis were Ally Financial’s March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 financial statements, as well as the financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry.

We calculated the fair value of our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock as of December 31, 2010 using a discounted cash flow approach. The present value of the cash flows was determined using assumptions regarding the expected receipt of dividends on Ally Financial preferred stock and the expected call date.

On March 25, 2011 our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock was sold through a public offering for net proceeds of $1.0 billion. The gain of $0.3 billion related to the sale was recorded in Interest income and other non-operating income, net.

Senior notes and convertible senior notes (c)	$	72	$	73	$	72	$	72

(a)	The fair value of the finance receivables is estimated based upon forecasted cash flows discounted using a pre-tax weighted-average cost of capital. The forecast includes factors such as prepayment, defaults, recoveries and fee income assumptions.

(b)	The syndicated and lease warehouse facilities have variable rates of interest and maturities of approximately one year. The carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

(c)

The fair values of the medium term note and bank funding facilities, securitization notes payable and senior notes and convertible senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using a current risk-adjusted rate.

Note 20. Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that increased the reserves by $40 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was primarily related to skilled trades hourly U.S. employees who participated in a special attrition program.

GME recorded charges and interest accretion and other of $57 million for separation programs in the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily related to previously announced programs in Germany.

Restructuring and early retirement programs in Spain, the U.K. and Belgium were essentially completed in 2010 and we also initiated a program in Germany in 2010. These programs had a total cost of approximately $700 million and affected a total of 4,500 employees and included the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility. We expect to incur an additional $500 million, primarily in 2011 and 2012, to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 2,600 employees. Because these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are recorded until offers to employees are accepted.

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates that decreased the reserves by $87 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to increased production capacity utilization, which resulted in the recall of idled employees to fill added shifts at multiple U.S. production sites.

GME recorded charges and interest accretion and other of $305 million in the three months end March 31, 2010 for separation programs primarily related to the following initiatives:

•

Separation charges of $184 million as the legal minimum for a separation plan related to the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility which affected 2,600 employees.

•

Separation charges of $72 million related to separation/layoff plans and an early retirement plan in Spain which affected 1,200 employees.

Note 22. Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding.

The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share amounts):

Weighted-average common shares outstanding — diluted		1,817		1,567

Basic earnings per share	$	2.09	$	0.58
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.77	$	0.55

We considered potentially dilutive securities in our diluted earnings per share computation under the treasury stock method. In periods prior to our public offering, we utilized an average stock price based upon estimates of the fair value of our common stock. Subsequent to our public offering, we used the New York Stock Exchange price.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

On April 21, 2011 MLC distributed 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants at any time prior to their respective expiration dates. Upon exercise of the warrants the shares issued will be included in the number of basic shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Our Series B Preferred Stock is a participating security and requires the application of the two-class method for calculating earnings per share when the applicable market value of our common stock is below $33.00 or above $39.60 per common share. For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the applicable market value is calculated as the average of the closing prices of our common stock over the 40 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the date of our financial statements. When applying the two-class method, the calculation of the applicable market value at the date of our financial statements will apply to the current quarter and the year to date period presented, irrespective of the applicable market value computed during the prior quarters of the current year. Under the two-class method for computing earnings per share, undistributed earnings will be allocated to the Series B Preferred Stock, with such allocation reducing Net income attributable to common stockholders and resulting in a lower basic and dilutive earnings per share amount. Accordingly, variability may result in our calculation of earnings per share from period to period depending on whether the application of the two class method is required.

Because the applicable market value of our common stock was within the price range of $33.00 to $39.60 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, we were not required to use the two-class method for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share. The dilutive effect of these securities was determined by assuming conversion of the securities at the beginning of the period resulting in an increase to the weighted-average common shares outstanding and an increase to Net income attributable to common stockholders for accumulated dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock.

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, of which 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining 272 million shares resulted in 162 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share included the assumed issuance of unvested restricted stock units (RSUs) granted to certain global executives. At March 31, 2011 there were 15 million unvested RSUs outstanding.

The Adjustment Shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the condition that would result in the issuance of the Adjustment Shares was not satisfied.

The 61 million shares of common stock contributed to our pension plans in January 2011 were excluded from the computation of earnings per share as they did not meet the criteria to qualify as plan assets for accounting purposes and consequently are not considered outstanding for accounting purposes.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Warrants to purchase 318 million shares of our common stock were outstanding, of which 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants’ exercise price was greater than the fair value of our common stock. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of warrants to purchase the remaining 272 million shares resulted in 67 million dilutive shares.

Diluted earnings per share excluded the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives as these awards were payable in cash if settled prior to six months after a completion of a successful public offering. At March 31, 2010 a total of 17 million RSUs were outstanding, of which neither the vested or unvested portion was considered for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share due to the cash settlement condition at that time.

Note 23. Stock Incentive Plans

Consolidated

Our stock incentive plans consist of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended on December 22, 2010 (2009 GMLTIP) and the Salary Stock Plan as amended on October 5, 2010 (GMSSP). Both plans are administered by the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the 2009 GMLTIP and the GMSSP shall not exceed 75 million shares.

The following table summarizes compensation expense recorded for our stock incentive plans (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011		Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Compensation expense	$	53	$	18

Income tax expense amounts were insignificant in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and did not include U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions with full valuation allowances.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

We granted 5 million and 15 million RSUs to certain global executives under the 2009 GMLTIP in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The RSUs were valued on the date of grant at the fair value of our common stock. The weighted average grant date fair value was $35.36 and $18.80 for the 2009 GMLTIP awards granted in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. Awards granted under the 2009 GMLTIP either cliff vest or ratably vest generally over a three-year service period, as defined in the terms of each award. We have elected to record compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of RSUs.

2011 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle three years from the grant date in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) obligations that are repaid. The awards for the Next 75 highest compensated employees will settle: (1) three years from the date of grant; or (2) on the first and third anniversary dates of grant. The awards to the non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will settle on the first, second, and third anniversary dates of grant.

2010 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle three years from the grant date in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of our TARP obligations that are repaid. The awards for the non-Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle after three years in 25% increments in conjunction with each 25% of the UST Loans and Canadian Loan, which we assumed upon entering into agreements with the United States Department of the Treasury and the Canadian government, that are repaid. The UST Loans and Canadian Loan were fully repaid in 2010, thus these awards will be settled upon completion of the remaining service period.

Retirement eligible participants that are non-Top 25 highest compensated employees who retire during the service period will retain and vest in a pro-rata portion of RSUs earned. The vested award will be payable according to the original settlement terms of each grant. Compensation cost for these employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Prior to our public offering, all GMLTIP RSU awards were classified as liability awards as they were payable in cash. In November 2010 we reclassified all of the GMLTIP RSU liability awards to equity for those awards that became payable in shares in accordance with the plan terms.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Salary Stock

In November 2009 we initiated a salary stock program for certain global executives under the GMSSP whereby a portion of each participant’s total annual compensation was accrued and converted to RSUs at each salary payment date. Beginning in 2010 a portion of each participant’s salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

The awards are fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant, therefore compensation cost is fully recognized on the date of grant. The awards are settled quarterly over a three year period commencing on the first anniversary date of grant. Under the terms of the plan, each installment is now redeemable one year earlier from the original settlement date as we repaid the financial assistance we received from the UST under the TARP program in 2010. Prior to our public offering, all GMSSP RSU awards were classified as liability awards as they were payable in cash. In November 2010 we reclassified all of the GMSSP RSU liability awards to equity for those awards that became payable in shares in accordance with the plan terms.

The compensation cost of each RSU granted under the 2009 GMLTIP and GMSSP that will be settled in equity is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant or, for those RSUs reclassified from liability to equity-based awards, the fair value of our common stock as of the date of the public offering.

The following tables summarize our RSU activity under the 2009 GMLTIP and GMSSP in the three months ended March 31, 2011 (RSUs in millions):


	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term
RSUs outstanding at January 1, 2011		17.2		$	19.03
Granted		5.0		$	35.36

RSUs vested and payable at March 31, 2011		5.5		$	20.79		—

At March 31, 2011 the total unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested equity awards granted under the 2009 GMLTIP was $406 million. This expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 total payments for 97,000 RSUs settled under the GMSSP was $4 million. There were no payments made for RSUs vested under the GMSSP for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Note 25. Segment Reporting

Consolidated

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and parts worldwide. We also conduct our automotive finance operations through GM Financial. We manage our operations through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully loaded cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes and evaluates GM Financial through Income (loss) before income taxes.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.

In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:


• Buick		• Cadillac		• Chevrolet		• GMC

The demands of customers outside of North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following brands:


• Buick	• Daewoo	• Holden	• Opel
• Cadillac	• GMC	• Isuzu	• Vauxhall
• Chevrolet

At March 31, 2011 we also had equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, including GM Korea, SGM, SGMW, FAW-GM and HKJV. These companies design, manufacture and market vehicles under the following brands:


• Alpheon	• Cadillac	• Daewoo	• Wuling
• Buick	• Chevrolet	• Jiefang

Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Presentation and Estimates

Basis of Presentation

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments, namely GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

Consistent with industry practice, market share information includes estimates of industry sales in certain countries where public reporting is not legally required or otherwise available on a consistent basis.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Prior Period Financial Statements Conformed to Current Period Presentation

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we have recorded foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt as non-operating items. This is a change from prior period presentations in which foreign currency exchange gains and losses on debt were recorded in Automotive cost of sales. We have reclassified the prior periods to conform to our current presentation. The effects of this reclassification will decrease Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $34 million from July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and $38 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 while increasing Automotive cost of sales and Interest income and other non-operating income, net by $107 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

Our Company

Automotive

We are a leading global automotive company. Our vision is to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles. We seek to distinguish our vehicles through superior design, quality, reliability, telematics (wireless voice and data) and infotainment and safety within their respective segments. Our business is diversified across products and geographic markets. With a global network of independent dealers we meet the local sales and service needs of our retail and fleet customers. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 73.3% of our vehicle sales volume was generated outside the United States, including 44.5% from emerging markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China (collectively BRIC), which have experienced the industry’s highest volume growth.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our automotive business is organized into four geographically-based segments:

•

GMNA, with sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and distribution operations in Central America and the Caribbean, represented 30.8% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 GMNA had the largest market share of any competitor in this market at 18.3%.

•

GME has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations across Western and Central Europe. GME’s vehicle sales volume, which in addition to Western and Central Europe, includes Russia, the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States and Eastern Europe represented 19.5% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In Western and Central Europe, we sell our vehicles under the Opel and Vauxhall (U.K. only) brands, which are manufactured in Europe and under the Chevrolet brand, which is imported from South Korea where it is manufactured by GM Korea Company, formerly GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co. (GM Korea) of which we own 77.0%. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 GME had the number four market share in this market at 8.6%.

•

GMIO has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Asia-Pacific, Russia, the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. GMIO’s vehicle sales volume, which includes Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East is our largest segment by vehicle sales volume and represented 38.5% of our vehicle sales volume including sales through our joint ventures in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In these regions, we sell our vehicles under the Alpheon, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Daewoo, GMC, Holden, Isuzu, Jiefang, Opel and Wuling brands, and we plan to commence sales under the Baojun brand in 2011. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 GMIO had the largest market share for this market at 9.2% and the number one market share in China. Of GMIO’s vehicle sales volume 80.2% is from China in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

•

GMSA, with sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela as well as sales activities in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay represented 11.2% of our vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2011. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 GMSA had the largest market share for this market at 18.8% and the number three market share in Brazil. Of GMSA’s vehicle sales volume 57.2% is from Brazil in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

We offer a global vehicle portfolio of cars, crossovers and trucks. We are committed to leadership in vehicle design, quality, reliability, telematics and infotainment and safety, as well as to developing key energy efficiency, energy diversity and advanced propulsion technologies, including electric vehicles with range extending capabilities such as the Chevrolet Volt.

Automotive Financing

GM Financial specializes in purchasing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles. GM Financial also offers lease products, in certain geographic markets, through GM franchised dealerships that targets customers with prime and near prime credit bureau scores. GM Financial generates revenue and cash flows primarily through the purchase, retention, subsequent securitization and servicing of finance receivables. To fund the acquisition of receivables prior to securitization, GM Financial uses available cash and borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial earns finance charge income on the finance receivables and pays interest expense on borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial periodically transfers receivables to securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. The securitization trusts are special purpose entities that are also variable interest entities that meet the requirements to be consolidated in the financial statements.

Specific Management Initiatives

The execution of certain management initiatives is critical to continue the improvement in our results of operations and financial condition. These management initiatives are subsequently discussed.

Sale of New Delphi

Sale of Ally Financial Preferred Stock

In March 2011 we sold 100% of our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock. The Ally Financial preferred stock was priced at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. After deducting the estimated underwriting discount and commissions, we received $1.0 billion in aggregate net proceeds. Upon completion of the offering, we no longer own any shares or receive any dividends related to the Ally Financial preferred stock. We recorded a gain of $0.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to the sale.

Focus on Chinese Market

We view the Chinese market, the fastest growing global market by volume of vehicles sold, as important to our global growth strategy and are employing a multi-brand strategy, led by our Buick division, which we believe is a strong brand in China. In the coming years, we plan to increasingly leverage our global architectures to increase the number of nameplates under the Chevrolet brand in China. Our China operations are composed of the following joint ventures: Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd. (SGM); Shanghai GM (Shenyang) Norsom Motor Co., Ltd. (SGM Norsom); Shanghai GM Dong Yue Motors Co., Ltd. (SGM DY); Shanghai GM Dong Yue Powertrain (SGM DYPT); SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (SGMW); FAW-GM Light Duty Commercial Vehicle, Ltd. (FAW-GM); Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center Co., Ltd. (PATAC); Shanghai OnStar Telematics Co. Ltd. (Shanghai OnStar); and Shanghai Chengxin Used Car Operation and Management Co., Ltd. (Used Car JV), collectively (China JVs).

The following table summarizes certain key operational and financial data for the China JVs (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011		Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Total wholesale vehicles		685,583		623,536

In November 2010 we and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would, if binding agreements are concluded by the parties, result in several strategic cooperation initiatives between us and SAIC. The initiatives covered by the MOU include:

•

Cooperation in the development of new energy vehicles, such as appropriate electric vehicle architectures and battery electric vehicle technical development;

•

Further expanding the role of PATAC in vehicle development, new technology development and participation in our global vehicle development process;

•

Sharing an additional vehicle architecture and powertrain application with SAIC in an effort to help reduce development costs and benefit from economies of scale;

•

Potential cooperation in providing access to our distribution network outside China for certain of SAIC’s MG branded products;

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

•

Providing training sources to assist a limited number of SAIC engineers with their professional development; and

•

Discussions to determine possible areas of cooperation in the development of future diesel engines.

The MOU will expire on July 31, 2011.

Auto Financing Strategy

Our auto finance strategy centers around ensuring that our dealers and customers have consistently available, transparent and competitive financing options throughout the business and credit cycles.

Historically Ally Financial has provided a majority of the financing for our dealers and a significant portion of the financing for our customers in the U.S., Canada, and other major international markets where we operate. Ally Financial has been our exclusive financing partner for incentivized retail financing programs in our major markets. Ally continues to provide the majority of the financing needs of our dealers and customers.

The market disruption of 2008 and 2009 highlighted the need to ensure certainty of availability of credit throughout economic cycles in specific segments of the auto financing market. In the U.S. and Canada we identified leasing and sub-prime lending as underserved areas that could benefit from increased financing sources and competition. In 2009 we partnered with U.S. Bank to offer incentivized leasing programs and with GM Financial (formerly AmeriCredit Corp.) to offer incentivized sub-prime retail financing, in the U.S. We also partnered with TD Bank to offer incentivized retail financing programs in Canada.

In October 2010 we acquired GM Financial to further bolster our offerings in the leasing and sub-prime financing segments in the U.S. and Canada. We believe that by having our own capabilities in key segments of the market we will be able to achieve more competition and better service from the market, while ensuring certainty of availability through the business cycles.

On April 1, 2011 GM Financial acquired FinanciaLinx Corporation, one of the largest independent leasing companies in Canada, to provide leasing to our customers throughout Canada. Given the importance of leasing and the current lack of availability of leasing offerings to our customers in the Canadian market (due to regulatory restrictions preventing banks and bank holding companies from offering leasing in Canada), we believe having a captive financing offering in Canada is strategically important to our business. GM Financial began originating leases for GM customers in Canada via FinanciaLinx Corporation in April 2011.

We will continue to expand the business of GM Financial in targeted areas that we view as strategic and to otherwise evaluate opportunities in specific segments of the auto financing market, both in the United Stated and internationally. We expect any expansion of GM Financial or any arrangements with other financing providers will complement our important relationship with Ally Financial.

Opel/Vauxhall Restructuring Activities

Restructuring and early retirement programs in Spain, the U.K. and Belgium were essentially completed in 2010 and we also initiated a program in Germany in 2010. These programs had a total cost of $0.7 billion and affected a total of 4,500 employees and included the closure of the Antwerp, Belgium facility. We expect to incur an additional $0.5 billion, primarily in 2011 and 2012, to complete these programs, which will affect an additional 2,600 employees.

Increased GMNA Production Volume

The moderate improvement in the U.S. economy, resulting increase in U.S. industry vehicle sales and increase in demand for our products has resulted in increased production volumes for GMNA. In the three months ended March 31, 2011 GMNA produced 786,000 vehicles. This represents an increase of 17.7% compared to 668,000 vehicles in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Increased U.S. Vehicle Sales

GMNA dealers in the U.S. sold 593,000 vehicles in the three months ended March 31, 2011. This represents an increase of 115,000 vehicles (or 24.1%) from our U.S. vehicle sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase reflects our brand

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

rationalization strategy to focus our product engineering and design and marketing on our four brands. This strategy has resulted in increased consumer demand for certain products such as the Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac SRX. The moderate improvement in the U.S. economy has contributed to a slow but steady improvement in U.S. industry vehicle sales and increased consumer confidence.

The continued increase in U.S. industry vehicle sales and the vehicle sales of our four brands is critical for us to maintain our worldwide profitability.

Effect of Earthquake, Tsunami and Other Resulting Events in Japan

Although we have no production facilities in Japan, and do not generate material revenues from Japan, we do consume materials and components for our global operations from suppliers located in Japan. Due to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan there have been shortages of materials and components from certain Japanese based suppliers. These shortages have minimally affected our vehicle production and resulted in us temporarily suspending production at one facility. We have managed these shortages by optimizing the usage of parts that are, or will be, in short supply, pursuing alternate suppliers and modifying production schedules.

We are closely monitoring the events and progress in Japan and are prepared to adjust global production as needed. We believe that any lost production in the three months ending June 30, 2011 will be immaterial, and that any lost production in the year December 31, 2011 will be insignificant.

Production and Vehicle Sales Volume

Management believes that production volume and vehicle sales data provide meaningful information regarding our automotive operating results. Production volumes manufactured by our assembly facilities are generally aligned with current period net sales and revenue, as we generally recognize revenue upon the release of the vehicle to the carrier responsible for transporting it to a dealer, which is shortly after the completion of production. Vehicle sales data, which includes retail and fleet sales, does not correlate directly to the revenue we recognize during the period. However, vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for our vehicles, and is the basis for our market share.

Reconciliation of Consolidated, Automotive and GM Financial Segment Results

Management believes earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our automotive segments’ operating results because it excludes amounts that management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization. Management believes these measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions. We believe EBIT is useful in allowing for greater transparency of our core operations and it is therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

While management believes that EBIT provides useful information, it is not an operating measure under U.S. GAAP, and there are limitations associated with its use. Our calculation of EBIT may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of EBIT has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income (loss) or Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. Due to these limitations, EBIT is used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.

Management believes income (loss) before income taxes provides meaningful supplemental information regarding GM Financial’s operating results. GM Financial uses a separate measure from our automotive operations because management believes interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment.

The following table summarizes the reconciliation of our automotive segments EBIT and GM Financial’s income before income taxes to Net income attributable to stockholders (dollars in millions):

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Total net sales and revenue increased by $4.7 billion (or 15.0%), primarily due to: (1) increased wholesale volumes of $3.4 billion representing 182,000 vehicles, primarily in GMNA of $2.7 billion due to an improving economy and recent vehicle launches and in GME of $0.7 billion; (2) favorable vehicle mix of $0.5 billion, primarily in GME of $0.4 billion and in GMNA of $0.2 billion, partially offset by unfavorable vehicle mix in GMIO $0.1 billion; (3) favorable net foreign currency translation effect of $0.5 billion, primarily in GMSA of $0.2 billion, in GMIO of $0.2 billion and in GMNA of $0.2 billion due to the strengthening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; (4) increased finance charge income of $0.3 billion due to the acquisition of GM Financial; (5) increased revenues from OnStar, Customer Care and Aftersales of $0.2 billion in GMNA; (7) increased revenue of $0.2 billion due to the acquisition of GM Strasbourg in GME; and (8) increased powertrain engine and transmission sales of $0.2 billion in GME.

These increases were partially offset by: (1) decreased sales of $0.3 billion due to the sale of Nexteer in November 2010 in GMNA; (2) unfavorable vehicle pricing effect of $0.2 billion, primarily in GMNA of $0.3 billion due to increased sales allowances, partially offset by favorable vehicle pricing effect of $0.1 billion in GMSA, primarily in Venezuela driven by the hyperinflationary economy; and (3) decreased sales of $0.2 billion due to the sale of Saab in GME and the sale of certain of our operations in India (GM India) to HKJV in February 2010 in GMIO.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Automotive cost of sales increased by $4.1 billion (or 15.0%), in line with increases in Total net sales and revenue, primarily due to: (1) increased production costs related to wholesale volume increases of $2.3 billion, primarily in GMNA of $1.7 billion and in GME of $0.6 billion; (2) unfavorable vehicle mix of $0.6 billion, primarily in GME of $0.4 billion and in GMNA of $0.3 billion; (3) unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of $0.4 billion, primarily in GMIO of $0.2 billion and in GMSA of $0.2 billion due to the strengthening of major currencies against the U.S. Dollar; (4) increased production costs across all segments of $0.4 billion related to increased volumes; (5) increased engineering costs of $0.3 billion to support new product development, primarily in GMNA of $0.2 billion; (6) increased costs associated with increase in non-automotive revenue of $0.3 billion including powertrain sales in GME and Customer Care and Aftersales in GMNA; partially offset by (7) decreased

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Automotive selling, general and administrative expense increased by $0.3 billion (or 11.5%), primarily due to increased advertising and sales promotion expenses of $0.3 billion, primarily in GMNA of $0.2 billion and increased advertising, sales promotion and marketing expenses of $0.1 billion to support media campaigns and new product launches in GMIO. We also reserved $0.1 billion, primarily in GME, for a single customer due to their default under commercial supply agreements, partially offset by decreases in other administrative expenses.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Automotive interest expense decreased by $0.2 billion (or 55.8%), primarily due to the reduction in global average debt of $15.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $4.8 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 driven by the repayment of the UST Loans and Canadian Loan, which we assumed upon entering into agreements with the United States Department of the Treasury and the Canadian government, and VEBA Notes, which were issued to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust, in 2010 resulting in decreased interest expense of $0.2 million.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Income tax expense decreased by $0.4 billion (or 73.1%), primarily due to a decrease in tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation of $0.3 billion and a decrease in tax expense attributable to a taxable foreign currency gain in Venezuela of $0.1 billion recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The recorded effective tax rate is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate, primarily due to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded. The effective tax rate decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of changes in the mix of earnings in valuation allowance and non-valuation allowance jurisdictions.

Automotive

Current Assets

At March 31, 2011 Marketable securities of $8.6 billion increased $3.1 billion (or 55.1%) due to investments in securities with maturities exceeding 90 days reflecting our improved liquidity and cash position.

At March 31, 2011 Accounts and notes receivable of $13.0 billion increased by $4.3 billion (or 49.3%), primarily due to increased sales volume across all regions in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as well as an increase related to the termination of the wholesale advance agreements with Ally Financial, in the U.S. and Canada, which provided for accelerated receipt of payment on dealer sales financed through Ally Financial.

At March 31, 2011 Inventories of $14.0 billion increased by $1.9 billion (or 15.4%), primarily to support increased forecasted production and to build up inventory from seasonally low levels at December 31, 2010 to support increased demand for our products.

At March 31, 2011 Equipment on operating leases, net of $3.1 billion increased by $0.5 billion (or 20.7%), primarily due to an increase of $0.3 billion in GMNA primarily related to vehicles leased to daily rental car companies (vehicles leased to U.S. daily rental car companies increased to 135,000 vehicles at March 31, 2011 from 118,000 vehicles at December 31, 2010), and an increase of $0.2 billion in GME due to a net increase in leased vehicles from 40,000 at December 31, 2010 to 51,000 at March 31, 2011.

At March 31, 2011 Other current assets and deferred income taxes of $3.3 billion increased by $0.2 billion (or 7.6%), primarily due to an increase in deferred taxes, primarily in GMNA and GME.

Non-Current Assets

At March 31, 2011 Equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates of $6.9 billion decreased by $1.6 billion (or 18.7%), primarily due to a decrease of $2.0 billion due to the March 2011 sale of our interest in New Delphi. This reduction was partially offset by increased equity income of $0.4 billion, primarily related to our China JVs.

At March 31, 2011 Property, net of $19.9 billion increased by $0.7 billion (or 3.7%) primarily due to: (1) capital expenditures of $1.3 billion; (2) favorable foreign currency translation effect of $0.3 billion primarily in GME resulting from the Euro strengthening against the U.S. dollar; partially offset by (3) depreciation of $1.0 billion; and (4) decreases associated with disposals of $0.1 billion.

At March 31, 2011 Goodwill of $28.8 billion decreased by $1.8 billion (or 5.8%) due to impairment charges of $1.9 billion recognized upon our adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2010-28, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (ASU 2010-28). The impairment charges, in GME, resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings of $1.5 billion and an impairment charge of $0.4 billion recorded in Goodwill impairment charges, during the three months ended March 31, 2011. This adjustment was partially offset by $0.1 billion due to favorable foreign currency translation effect, primarily in GME, resulting from the Euro strengthening against the U.S. dollar.

At March 31, 2011 Intangible assets, net of $11.5 billion decreased by $0.4 billion (or 3.3%), primarily due to amortization of $0.5 billion partially offset by foreign currency translation of $0.1 billion.

At March 31, 2011 Other assets and deferred income taxes of $4.2 billion decreased by $0.5 billion (or 10.6%), primarily due to a decrease of $0.7 billion due to the sale of our investment in Ally Financial preferred stock, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 billion in prepaid expense in GMNA.

Current Liabilities

At March 31, 2011 Accounts payable of $24.7 billion increased by $3.2 billion (or 15.1%), primarily due to higher payables for materials due to increased production volume of $2.8 billion and the effects of foreign currency translation of $0.4 billion.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

At March 31, 2011 Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt of $1.7 billion increased by $0.1 billion (or 7.9%), primarily due to increased balances on wholesale financing facilities and the effects of foreign currency translation.

At March 31, 2011 Accrued liabilities of $25.2 billion increased by $1.2 billion (or 4.8%) primarily due to increases in customer deposits related to the increased number of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies of $0.6 billion and increases in the current portion of product warranty and recall campaigns of $0.5 billion based on recent claims experience.

Non-Current Liabilities

At March 31, 2011 Long-term debt of $3.3 billion increased by $0.3 billion (or 8.4%), primarily due to capital lease obligations of $0.2 billion and the effects of foreign currency translation of $0.1 billion.

At March 31, 2011 Postretirement benefits other than pensions obligation of $9.4 billion increased by $0.1 billion (or 1.1%), primarily due to the effects of foreign currency translation.

At March 31, 2011 Pensions obligation of $21.7 billion decreased by $0.2 billion (or 1.1%) due to: (1) the revaluation of pension plans of $0.3 billion in GME associated with goodwill impairment testing; (2) decrease for contributions and benefits payments of $0.2 billion and; (3) decrease for service costs, interest expense and expected return on assets of $0.1 billion offset by an increase of $0.4 billion due to the effects of foreign currency translation.

At March 31, 2011 Other liabilities and deferred income taxes of $12.9 billion decreased by $0.2 billion (or 1.3%), primarily due to a decrease in the non-current portion of product warranty and recall campaigns of $0.5 billion based on recent claims experience offset by an increase in accruals for deferred revenue of $0.2 billion.

Automotive Financing

Total GM Financial Assets

At March 31, 2011 Finance receivables, net of $8.3 billion increased by $0.1 billion (or 1.0%), primarily due to new loan originations of $1.1 billion partially offset by principal collections and gross charge offs of $1.0 billion.

At March 31, 2011 Restricted cash of $1.2 billion increased by $0.1 billion (or 10.2%), primarily due to higher borrowings on GM Financial’s credit facilities.

At March 31, 2011 Other assets of $0.8 billion increased by $0.4 billion (or 106.6%), primarily due to new leased vehicles originations of $0.3 billion.

Total GM Financial Liabilities

At March 31, 2011 Securitization notes payable of $6.1 billion decreased by $0.1 billion (or 1.1%), primarily due to normal principal amortization of the securitization notes payable partially offset by a $0.8 billion new securitization transaction.

At March 31, 2011 Credit facilities of $1.4 billion increased by $0.6 billion (or 69.7%), primarily due to new net borrowings on credit facilities to support increased loan and lease originations.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 EBIT decreased by $0.2 billion (or 66.0%), primarily due to: (1) increased material and manufacturing costs and costs associated with engineering and product launches of $0.2 billion; (2) other cost increases including taxes and fees of $0.1 billion; partially offset by (3) favorable vehicle pricing effect of $0.1 billion, primarily in Venezuela driven by the hyperinflationary economy.

In January 2010 the Venezuelan government announced that the official fixed exchange rate of 2.15 BsF to $1.00 would be changed to a dual rate system that includes a 2.60 BsF to $1.00 essentials rate for food, technology and heavy machine importers and a 4.30

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

BsF to $1.00 non-essentials rate for all others. This devaluation required remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries’ non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We used a rate of 4.30 BsF to $1.00 to determine the remeasurement, which resulted in a charge of $25 million recorded in Automotive cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Total revenue	$	295
Income before income taxes	$	130

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 Total revenue included finance charge income of $268 million and other income of $27 million. The effective yield on GM Financial’s finance receivables was 12.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings and the accretion of the purchase accounting premium during the period as a percentage of average finance receivables.

Net margin is the difference between finance charge income and other income earned on GM Financial’s finance receivables and the cost to fund the receivables as well as the cost of debt incurred for general corporate purposes.

GM Financial’s operating expenses are primarily related to personnel costs that include base salary and wages, performance incentives and benefits as well as related employment taxes. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level which management considers adequate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio of finance receivables originated since October 1, 2010. Interest expense represents interest paid on GM Financial’s warehouse credit facilities, securitization notes payable and other unsecured debt.

Average debt outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $7.1 billion and the effective rate of interest paid was 2.3%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our secured revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. However, we expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward, which we plan to fund through available liquidity and cash flow from operations. Our known material future uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) pension contributions and OPEB payments; (2) capital expenditures; (3) spending to implement long-term cost savings and restructuring plans such as restructuring our Opel/Vauxhall operations and potential capacity reduction programs; (4) reducing our overall debt levels; and (5) certain South American income and indirect tax-related administrative proceedings may require that we deposit funds in escrow or make payments which may range up to $1.0 billion.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this report and our 2010 Form 10-K, some of which are outside our control. Macroeconomic conditions could limit our ability to successfully execute our business plans and, therefore, adversely affect our liquidity plans.

Recent Initiatives

Repayment of Debt and Reduction of Financial Leverage

We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to optimize our liquidity position and capital structure in order to strengthen our balance sheet. The repayment of debt remains a key strategic initiative. We continue to evaluate potential debt repayments prior to maturity. Any such repayments may negatively affect our liquidity in the short-term.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

We made a voluntary contribution in January 2011 to our U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit pension plans of 61 million shares of our common stock, valued at $2.2 billion for funding purposes at the time of contribution. The contributed shares qualify as a plan asset for funding purposes immediately and will qualify as a plan asset for accounting purposes when certain transfer restrictions are removed, which is expected in 2011. This contribution was made as part of our continuing efforts to mitigate risk in our balance sheet and fully fund long-term obligations.

Under wholesale financing arrangements, our U.S. dealers typically borrow money from financial institutions to fund their vehicle purchases from us. Effective January 2011 we terminated a wholesale advance agreement which provided for accelerated receipt of payments made by Ally Financial on behalf of our U.S. dealers pursuant to Ally Financial’s wholesale financing arrangements with dealers. Similar modifications were made in Canada. The wholesale advance agreements cover the period for which vehicles are in transit between assembly plants and dealerships. We no longer receive payments in advance of the date vehicles purchased by dealers are scheduled to be delivered, resulting in an increase to our accounts receivable balance of $2.5 billion at March 31, 2011. The amount of the increase to our accounts receivable balance depends on sales volumes, seasonal fluctuations and certain other factors. We expect the increase to our accounts receivable balances to moderate over the remainder of 2011 and average $2.0 billion for 2011.

In January 2011 we withdrew our application for loans available under Section 136 of the Energy Independence Security Act of 2007. This decision is consistent with our stated goal to minimize our outstanding debt.

Reduction in Non-core Assets

We sold our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi to New Delphi for $3.8 billion in March 2011 and recognized a gain of $1.6 billion. We had acquired our stake in October 2009 in conjunction with the creation of New Delphi. Also in March 2011 we sold our Ally Financial preferred stock and received proceeds of $1.0 billion. We recorded a gain of $0.3 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to the sale. Proceeds from these asset sales were used to strengthen liquidity and will be used for general corporate purposes.

Automotive

Available Liquidity

Available liquidity includes cash and cash equivalent balances and marketable securities. At March 31, 2011 our available liquidity was $29.6 billion, not including funds available under credit facilities of $5.9 billion or in the Canadian Health Care Trust (HCT) escrow account of $1.0 billion. The amount of available liquidity is subject to intra-month and seasonal fluctuations and includes balances held by various business units and subsidiaries worldwide that are needed to fund their operations.

We manage our liquidity using U.S. cash investments, cash held at our international treasury centers and available liquidity at consolidated overseas subsidiaries. A portion of our total liquidity includes amounts deemed indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We have used and will continue to use other methods, including inter-company loans, to utilize these funds across our global operations as needed. The following table summarizes our liquidity (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011		December 31, 2010

(a)	Classified as restricted cash and marketable securities which is recorded in Other current assets and deferred income taxes.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Total available liquidity increased by $3.0 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to proceeds from the sale of non-core investments partially offset by planned capital expenditures and negative cash flows from operating activities driven by increases in accounts receivable balances related to the termination of the wholesale advance agreements.

Credit Facilities

We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity. Our primary borrowing capacity under these credit facilities comes from our $5.0 billion secured revolving credit facility. The balance of our credit facilities are geographically dispersed across all regions. The following tables summarize our committed and uncommitted credit facilities (dollars in millions):

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 our secured revolving credit facility comprised $5.0 billion of the amounts available under committed credit facilities and other committed credit facilities had $475 million available.

While we do not believe that we will draw on the secured revolving credit facility to fund operating activities, the facility provides additional liquidity and financing flexibility. Availability under the secured revolving credit facility is subject to borrowing base restrictions. Our obligations under the secured revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and by a substantial portion of our domestic assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, property, plants, and equipment, real estate, intercompany loans, intellectual property, trademarks and direct investments in Ally Financial. Obligations are also secured by the equity interests in certain of our direct domestic subsidiaries, as well as up to 65% of the voting equity interests in certain of our direct foreign subsidiaries, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral securing the secured revolving credit facility does not include, among other assets, cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, as well as our investment in GM Financial and our equity interests in our China JVs and in GM Korea. If we receive an investment grade corporate rating from two or more of the credit rating agencies (Fitch, Moody’s and S&P), we may no longer have to post collateral under the terms of the facility.

Uncommitted credit facilities include lines of credit which are available to us, but under which the lenders have no legal obligation to provide funding upon our request. We and our subsidiaries use credit facilities to fund working capital needs, product programs, facilities development and other general corporate purposes.

Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities

Pursuant to an agreement among General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL), Export Development of Canada and an escrow agent we had $1.0 billion remaining in an escrow account at March 31, 2011 to fund certain of GMCL’s healthcare obligations pending the satisfaction of certain preconditions which have not yet been met.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we had negative cash flows from operating activities of $0.6 billion primarily due to: (1) unfavorable changes in working capital of $2.9 billion primarily driven by an increase in accounts receivable from the termination of the wholesale advance agreements; (2) unfavorable changes in other operating assets of $0.7 billion; (3) pension contributions and OPEB payments of $0.4 billion; partially offset by (4) net income of $3.4 billion which included non-cash charges of $2.0 billion resulting from depreciation, impairment and amortization expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts) and which also included gains of $1.6 billion from the sale of our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi and $0.3 billion from the sale of our Ally Financial preferred stock.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had positive cash flows from operating activities of $1.9 billion primarily due to: (1) net income of $1.2 billion, which included non-cash charges of $1.8 billion resulting from depreciation, impairment and amortization expense (including amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts); and (2) changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $0.3 billion partially offset by (3) unfavorable changes in working capital of $0.8 billion; and (4) pension contributions and OPEB payments of $0.6 billion. The unfavorable changes in working capital were related to increases in accounts receivables and inventories, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Investing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we had positive cash flows from investing activities of $0.6 billion primarily due to: (1) proceeds received from the sale of our Class A Membership Interests in New Delphi and our Ally Financial preferred stock of $4.8 billion; (2) net decrease in restricted cash of $0.1 billion; partially offset by (3) net investments in marketable securities of $3.0 billion; and (4) capital expenditures of $1.3 billion.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had positive cash flows from investing activities of $0.5 billion primarily due to: (1) net decrease in restricted cash of $1.2 billion primarily related to withdrawals from the UST and HCT escrow accounts; (2) liquidations of operating leases of $0.1 billion; partially offset by (3) capital expenditures of $0.8 billion.

Financing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 we had negative cash flows from financing activities of $0.3 billion primarily related to: (1) dividend payments on our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock of $0.2 billion; and (2) payment to acquire additional interest in GM Korea of $0.1 billion. Refer to Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the acquisition of additional interest in GM Korea.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010 we had negative cash flows from financing activities of $1.7 billion primarily due to: (1) repayments on the UST Loans and Canadian Loan of $1.0 billion and $0.2 billion; (2) dividend payments on our Series A Preferred Stock of $0.2 billion; (3) payments on the receivables program announced in March 2009 to provide financial assistance to automotive suppliers of $0.2 billion; and (4) net payments on other debt of $0.1 billion.

In the normal course of business, in addition to using available cash, GM Financial pledges receivables to and borrows under credit facilities to fund operations and repays these borrowings as appropriate under GM Financial’s cash management strategy. The following table summarizes credit facilities (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding		Facility Amount		Advances Outstanding
Syndicated warehouse facility (a)	$	2,000	$	827	$	1,300	$	278
Lease warehouse facility (b)	$	600		95				—
Medium-term note facility (c)				439				490
Bank funding facilities (d)				51				64

Total			$	1,412			$	832

(a)	In February 2011 GM Financial extended the maturity date of the syndicated warehouse facility to May 2012 and increased the borrowing capacity to $2.0 billion from $1.3 billion.

(b)	In January 2011 GM Financial entered into a lease warehouse facility for lease originations in the U.S. Borrowings on the facility are collateralized by leased assets.

(c)	The revolving period under this facility has ended and the outstanding debt balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the receivables pledged until October 2016 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable.

(d)	The outstanding debt balance under the bank funding facilities is secured by asset-backed securities of $53 million.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

GM Financial is required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under the credit facilities and securitization notes payable. GM Financial’s funding agreements contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements or, with respect to the syndicated warehouse facility, restrict GM Financial’s ability to obtain additional borrowings.

Non-Cash Charges

The following table summarizes significant non-cash charges (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011		Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Impairment charges related to investment in HKJV	$	39	$	—
Impairment charges related to goodwill		395		—
Impairment charges related vehicles leased to rental car companies		39		9
Impairment charges related to product-specific tooling assets		26		—

Total significant non-cash charges	$	499	$	9

Defined Benefit Pension Plan Contributions

We made a voluntary contribution in January 2011 to our U.S. hourly and salaried defined benefit pension plans of 61 million shares of our common stock, valued at $2.2 billion for funding purposes at the time of contribution. The contributed shares qualify as a plan asset for funding purposes immediately, and will qualify as a plan asset for accounting purposes when certain restrictions are removed, which is expected in 2011.

Guarantees Provided to Third Parties

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of operating leases, certain suppliers’ commitments, certain product-related claims and commercial loans made by Ally Financial and outstanding with certain third parties excluding vehicle repurchase obligations, residual support and risk sharing related to Ally Financial. The maximum potential obligation under these commitments was $1.0 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Our agreement with Ally Financial requires the repurchase of Ally Financial financed inventory invoiced to dealers after September 1, 2008, with limited exclusions, in the event of a qualifying voluntary or involuntary termination of the dealer’s sales and service agreement. Repurchase obligations exclude vehicles which are damaged, have excessive mileage or have been altered. The repurchase obligation ended in August 2010 for vehicles invoiced through August 2009, ends in August 2011 for vehicles invoiced through August 2010 and ends in August 2012 for vehicles invoiced through August 2011.

The maximum potential amount of future payments required to be made to Ally Financial under this guarantee would be based on the repurchase value of total eligible vehicles financed by Ally Financial in dealer stock and was estimated to be $20.2 billion and $18.8 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under this arrangement, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent vehicles are able to be resold to another dealer or at auction. The fair value of the guarantee was $18 million and $21 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 which considers the likelihood of dealers terminating and the estimated loss exposure for the ultimate disposition of vehicles.

Refer to Note 17 and 24 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on guarantees we have provided.

Required Pension Funding Obligations

We do not have any required contributions due to our U.S. qualified plans in 2011. The next pension funding valuation to be prepared based on the requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) will be as of October 1, 2010. Based on the PPA, we have the option to select a funding interest rate for the valuation based on either the Full Yield Curve method or the 3-Segment method, both of which are considered to be acceptable methods. The PPA also provides the flexibility of selecting a 3-Segment rate up to the preceding five months from the valuation date of October 1, 2010, i.e., the 3-Segment rate at May 31, 2010. Therefore, for a hypothetical valuation at March 31, 2011, we have chosen the 3-Segment rate at May 31, 2010 as the funding interest rate that we could use for the actual funding valuation. Since this hypothetical election does not limit us to only using the 3-Segment rate beyond 2010, we have assumed that we retain the flexibility of selecting a funding interest rate based on either the Full Yield Curve method or the 3-Segment method. A hypothetical funding valuation at March 31, 2011, using the 3-Segment rate at May 31, 2010 and assuming for the plan year beginning October 1, 2010 funding valuation, the Full Yield Curve funding interest rate for all future valuations projects contributions of $2.1 billion and $0.9 billion in 2015 and 2016 and additional contributions may be required thereafter. Alternatively, a hypothetical funding valuation at March 31, 2011 using the 3-Segment rate at May 31, 2010 for the plan year beginning October 1, 2010 funding valuation, and assuming the March 31, 2011 3-Segment rate for all future valuations projects contributions of $ 0.7 billion in 2016 and additional contributions may be required thereafter.

In both cases, we have assumed that the pension plans earn the expected return of 8.0% in the future and no further changes in funding interest rates. U.S. pension funding interest rate and return on assets rate sensitivity are shown below, assuming the 3-Segment rate at May 31, 2010 for plan year beginning on October 1, 2010 funding valuation and the Full Yield Curve funding interest rate for all future valuations (in billions):


	Funding Interest Rate Sensitivity Table										Estimated Return on Assets–7% - 100 basis point decrease

2016	$	0.1	$	1.1	$	0.9	$	0.7	$	0.6	$	2.5

The hypothetical valuations do not consider the potential election of relief provisions that are available to us under the Pension Relief Act of 2010 for 2010 and 2011 plan year valuations.

Fair Value Measurements

Automotive

At March 31, 2011 assets and liabilities classified in Level 3 were not significant. Prior to the three months ended December 31, 2010 significant assets and liabilities classified in Level 3, with the related Level 3 inputs, were as follows:

•

Foreign currency derivatives — Level 3 inputs used to determine the fair value of foreign currency derivative liabilities include the appropriate credit spread to measure our nonperformance risk. Given our nonperformance risk was not observable through a liquid credit default swap market we based this measurement on an analysis of comparable industrial companies to determine the appropriate credit spread which would be applied to us by market participants. In the three months ended December 31, 2010 we incorporated our published credit agency ratings into our credit rating conclusions. In the three months ended December 31, 2010 we determined that our nonperformance risk no longer represented a significant input in the determination of the fair value of our foreign currency derivative liabilities and transferred these liabilities to Level 2.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Refer to Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

At March 31, 2011 we used Level 3 inputs to measure net liabilities of $10 million (or less than 0.1%) of our total liabilities. These net liabilities included $67 million (or 0.3%) of the total assets, and $77 million (or 56.6%) of the total liabilities that we measured at fair value.

In the three months ended March 31, 2011 assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs decreased $4 million from a net liability of $14 million to a net liability of $10 million primarily due to unrealized losses on options which we measure at fair value.

At December 31, 2010 we used Level 3 inputs to measure net liabilities of $14 million (or less than 0.1%) of our total liabilities. These net liabilities included $10 million (or less than 0.1%) of the total assets, and $24 million (or 16.4%) of the total liabilities that we measured at fair value.

At December 31, 2010 our nonperformance risk remained unobservable through a liquid credit default swap market. During the three months ended December 31, 2010 we determined that our nonperformance risk no longer represented a significant input in the determination of the fair value of our derivatives. The effect of our nonperformance risk in the valuation was reduced due to the reduction in the remaining duration and magnitude of these net derivative liability positions. In October 2010 we transferred foreign currency derivatives with a fair market value of $183 million from Level 3 to Level 2.

Realized gains and losses related to assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs did not have a material effect on operations, liquidity or capital resources in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Automotive Financing

At March 31, 2011 significant assets and liabilities classified in Level 3, with the related Level 3 inputs, are as follows:

•

Interest rate swaps — Level 3 inputs are used to determine the fair value of GM Financial’s interest rate swaps because they are not exchange traded but instead traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. The fair value of derivatives is derived using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as interest rate yield curves and credit curves. The effects of GM Financial’s and the counterparties’ non-performance risk to the derivative trades are considered when measuring the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities.

Refer to Note 19 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Dividends

The declaration of any dividend on our common stock is a matter to be acted upon by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Since our formation, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock.

So long as any share of our Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our common stock payable solely in shares of our common stock. Our secured revolving credit facility contains certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, subject to exceptions, such as dividends payable solely in shares of our common stock.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

So long as any share of our Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our Series B Preferred Stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock payable solely in shares of our common stock.

The following tables summarize dividends paid on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (dollars in millions):

Series A Preferred Stock	$	155	$	203
Series B Preferred Stock		65		—

Total Preferred Stock dividends paid	$	220	$	203

Our payment of dividends in the future, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors and will be paid out of funds legally available for that purpose and will depend on business conditions, our financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, the covenants in our debt instruments, and other factors.

Employees

At March 31, 2011 we employed 205,000 employees, of whom 137,000 (67%) were hourly employees and 68,000 (33%) were salaried employees. The following table summarizes worldwide employment (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. The critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described in the MD&A section in our 2010 Form 10-K, with updates to our critical accounting estimates related to events occurring subsequent to the filing of our 2010 Form 10-K discussed below.

We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Impairment of Goodwill

In December 2010 the FASB issued ASU 2010-28. The amendments in this ASU modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. Any resulting goodwill impairment is

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings at the date of adoption with future impairments recorded to earnings. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-28 on January 1, 2011. GME has a negative carrying amount and we determined that it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment existed at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 due to decreases in our nonperformance risk and improvements in our incremental borrowing interest rates occurring since July 10, 2009 through March 31, 2011.

The adoption of ASU 2010-28 resulted in the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning Retained earnings of $1.5 billion for our GME reporting unit. In addition, because GME continued to have a negative carrying amount and it was more likely than not that a further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2011, an impairment charge of $395 million was recorded in Goodwill impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Both the impairment recorded as a result of the initial adoption of ASU 2010-28 and the March 31, 2011 measurement represent the net decreases, from July 10, 2009 through January 1, 2011 and from January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011, in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting. The net decreases resulted primarily from: (1) a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009; (2) an increase in the high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit obligations since January 1, 2011; and (3) a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk. Refer to Notes 2 and 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the adoption of ASU 2010-28.

When applying fresh-start reporting, certain accounts in GME, primarily employee benefit and income tax related, were recorded at amounts determined under specific U.S. GAAP rather than fair value, and the difference between the U.S. GAAP and fair value amounts gave rise to goodwill, which is a residual. Our employee benefit related accounts were recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 712 “Compensation — Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits” and ASC 715 “Compensation Benefits.” The discount rates utilized to determine the fair value of these obligations were based on our incremental borrowing rates, which included our nonperformance risk. Our incremental borrowing rates are also affected by changes in market interest rates. Deferred income taxes were recorded in accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Further, we recorded valuation allowances against certain of our deferred tax assets, which under ASC 852 “Reorganizations” also resulted in goodwill. If all identifiable assets and liabilities had been recorded at fair value upon application of fresh-start reporting, no goodwill would have resulted.

GME has a negative carrying amount and we determined that it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment existed at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 due to decreases in our nonperformance risk and improvements in our incremental borrowing interest rates occurring since July 10, 2009 through March 31, 2011. As such, despite the fair value of GME’s equity being greater than its carrying amount, we performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis. The valuation methodologies utilized to perform our goodwill impairment testing for GME were consistent with those used in our application of fresh-start reporting on July 10, 2009, as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Form 10-K, and in our 2010 annual goodwill impairment testing at October 1, 2010. The fair value measures used in our analyses were Level 3 measures.

Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly, we calculated GME’s implied goodwill in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” In performing our Step 2 analyses, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair values of GME at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011. These fair value estimates utilized a weighted-average cost of capital of 17.0% and 16.5% at January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011 that considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums, and tax rates; a terminal value that was determined using a growth model that applied a long-term growth rate of 0.5% to our projected cash flows beyond 2015; and industry sales of 18.4 million and a market share for GME of 6.56% in 2011 increasing to industry sales of 22.0 million vehicles and a 7.42% market share in 2015. The fair value of property was determined based on its highest and best use utilizing a combination of the market or sales comparison approach, the cost approach and/or the income approach. The fair values of GME’s brands were determined based on a relief from royalty method and the fair value of GME’s dealer network was determined on a cost approach. Based on these fair value measures, we determined GME’s implied goodwill represents only the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

The key assumptions utilized in determining the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences are the determination of our nonperformance risk, interest rates and the estimated timing of the utilization of our deferred tax assets. Of these factors, the amount of implied goodwill within GME at January 1, 2011 and at March 31, 2011 is most sensitive to changes in our nonperformance risk and interest rates.

The following table summarizes the effect on the determination of the implied goodwill of GME at March 31, 2011 of changes in our incremental borrowing rates utilized in calculating the implied goodwill for GME (dollars in millions):


	Effect on Implied Goodwill at March 31, 2011
Change in Incremental Borrowing Rates
25 basis point decrease in our incremental borrowing rates	$	(137	)
25 basis point increase in our incremental borrowing rates	$	131

The following table summarizes the effect on the implied goodwill of GME at March 31, 2011 of changes in high quality corporate rates in calculating the implied goodwill for GME (dollars in millions):


	Effect on Implied Goodwill at March 31, 2011
Change in High Quality Corporate Rates
25 basis point decrease in high quality corporate rates	$	333
25 basis point increase in high quality corporate rates	$	(314	)

Future goodwill impairments could occur within GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease, GME continues to have a negative carrying amount, and the fair value of the GME reporting unit does not increase sufficiently to offset such decreases or such increase in fair value results in a corresponding increase in the fair value of other identifiable assets without giving rise to additional implied goodwill. The difference between these fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences would decrease upon an improvement in our credit rating or a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bonds and market interest rates, thus resulting in a decrease in the spread between our employee benefit related obligations under U.S. GAAP and their fair values. The fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting within GME also included deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Similarly, a decrease would also occur upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances within GME. Should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences decrease for these reasons, without an increase in the fair value of the GME reporting unit sufficient to offset such decreases, the implied goodwill balance will decline and future goodwill impairments would occur that may be material. Any declines would have a negative effect on our earnings and would be included in Goodwill impairment charges. Future goodwill impairments could also occur within our other reporting units, including GMNA, should we first fail Step 1 of the goodwill impairment testing analysis and the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences noted above also decrease.

We believe future goodwill impairment charges could occur in 2011 related to GME, because GME has a negative carrying amount and it is possible: (1) a decrease in the credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk could occur and/or (2) a decrease in our nonperformance risk or improvement in our credit rating could occur.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chairman and CEO and Senior Vice President and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) at March 31, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, at that date, the disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 were effective as of March 31, 2011.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any changes in internal control over financial reporting in the three months ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance due to its inherent limitations; it is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

resulting from human failures. A control system also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of such limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all misstatements, whether unintentional errors or fraud. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process; therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The discussion in the following paragraphs is limited to an update of developments that have occurred in various material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. These proceedings are fully described in our 2010 Form 10-K. We and the other defendants affiliated with us intend to defend all of the following actions vigorously.

Canadian Export Antitrust Class Actions

As previously reported, certain class action cases were filed by purchasers of new motor vehicles in the United States since 2001 against Old GM, GMCL, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, LLC, Toyota Motor Corporation, Honda Motor Co., Ltd., Nissan Motor Company, Limited and Bavarian Motor Works and their Canadian affiliates, the National Automobile Dealers Association, and the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association. In the Arizona state court cases, the court granted summary judgment in the defendants’ favor on February 28, 2011. The plaintiffs in the Arizona cases have appealed. Without conceding liability, GMCL has agreed with plaintiffs to settle all remaining state court cases in the amount of $21 million with the settlement to be apportioned among the claimants, their lawyers and administrative costs. Lawyers representing the plaintiffs will seek approval of the settlement by the state courts in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Florida in the coming months.

Canadian Dealer Class Action

In the previously reported case pending in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, on March 1, 2011, the Court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues, including: (1) whether GMCL breached its obligation of “good faith” in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the plaintiff dealers’ rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the plaintiff dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). GMCL has sought permission to appeal the class certification decision and is vigorously defending the plaintiff dealer claims.

AmeriCredit Transaction Claims

In the previously reported cases Robert Hatfield, Derivatively on behalf of AmeriCredit Corp v Clifton Morris, Jr. et al. and Carla Butler, Derivatively on behalf of AmeriCredit Corp v. Clifton Morris, Jr. et al., filed in the district court for Tarrant County, Texas, which were consolidated, the district court entered an order dated April 6, 2011 sustaining General Motors Holdings, LLC’s and General Motors Company’s pleas to the jurisdiction and dismissing the consolidated cases with prejudice. The order of dismissal is subject to appeal.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risk factors.

Other than as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K. While we described each risk separately, some of these risks are interrelated and certain risks could trigger the applicability of other risks.

Our automotive manufacturing operations are dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to provide us with systems, components, and parts and any disruption in our suppliers’ operations could disrupt our production schedule and adversely affect our operations.

Our automotive manufacturing operations are dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to deliver the systems, components, and parts we need to manufacture our products. Our use of “just-in-time” manufacturing processes results in our having minimal inventories of the systems, components, and parts we need to conduct our automotive manufacturing operations. As a result, our ability to maintain production is dependent upon the continued ability of our suppliers to deliver sufficient quantities of systems, components, and parts at such times as allow us to meet our production schedules. A disruption in any of our suppliers’ operations, even if for a relatively short period of time, could cause us to alter our production schedules or suspend production entirely. For example, in March 2011 we suspended production at our Shreveport, Louisiana assembly facility due to a parts shortage resulting from the earthquake off the coast of Japan. In some instances, we purchase systems, components, parts and supplies from a single source and may be at an increased risk for supply disruptions. Where we experience supply disruptions, we may not be able to develop alternate sourcing quickly. Any disruption of our production schedule caused by an unexpected shortage of systems, components, or parts could adversely affect our financial results.

Goodwill impairments could have a material non-cash adverse effect on our results of operations.

We test our goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year for all reporting units, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would warrant such a review. Because GME has a negative carrying amount, we test GME for goodwill impairment whenever it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied value. As discussed in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe future goodwill impairment charges could occur in 2011 related to GME should the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP adjustments differences decrease. Should the fair value of the GME business not increase sufficiently to offset any possible decreases in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that gave rise to goodwill in fresh-start reporting, we could incur a goodwill impairment. Decreases in the fair-value-to-U.S. GAAP differences that could result in a goodwill impairment would occur upon: (1) a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates; (2) an increase in high quality corporate bond rates utilized to measure our employee benefit plan obligations; (3) a decrease in credit spreads between high quality corporate bond rates and market interest rates for companies with similar nonperformance risk; and (4) upon reversal of our deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Any such goodwill impairments will result in charges to our earnings and will have a non-cash effect on our results of operations.
