                   GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Financial Statement Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring items), which are necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim
period or for the full year. For further information, refer to the December 31,
2000 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in General
Motors Corporation's (the "Corporation" or "GM") 2000 Annual Report on Form
10-K, and all other GM, Hughes Electronics Corporation (Hughes), and General
Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
   GM presents separate supplemental consolidating statements of income and
other financial information for the following businesses: (1) Automotive,
Communications Services, and Other Operations which consists of the design,
manufacturing, and marketing of cars, trucks, locomotives, and heavy-duty
transmissions and related parts and accessories, as well as the operations of
Hughes; and (2) Financing and Insurance Operations which consists primarily of
GMAC, which provides a broad range of financial services, including consumer
vehicle financing, full-service leasing and fleet leasing, dealer financing, car
and truck extended service contracts, residential and commercial mortgage
services, vehicle and homeowners' insurance, and asset-based lending.
Transactions between businesses have been eliminated in the Corporation's
consolidated statements of income.
   Certain amounts for 2000 were reclassified to conform with the 2001
classifications.

New Accounting Standards
   On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method
of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. Goodwill and certain intangible assets will remain on the balance sheet
and not be amortized. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect
that their values have been diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested
for impairment, and write-downs may be necessary. The Company has not determined
the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
   Also on July 20, 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
was issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon
adoption of this statement. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 142 on
January 1, 2002 and it has not determined the impact, if any, that this
statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

Note 2.  Inventories

   Inventories included the following for Automotive, Communications Services,
and Other Operations (dollars in millions):
                                               June 30,   Dec. 31,   June 30,
                                                 2001       2000       2000
                                              --------   ---------  --------

Productive material, work in process,
  and supplies                                 $5,542     $5,555     $5,954
Finished product, service parts, etc.           7,377      7,319      7,609
                                              -------    -------    -------
  Total inventories at FIFO                    12,919     12,874     13,563
   Less LIFO allowance                          1,847      1,929      1,883
                                              -------    -------    -------
     Total inventories (less allowances)      $11,072    $10,945    $11,680
                                               ======     ======     ======

Note 3.  Contingent Matters

   Litigation is subject to uncertainties and the outcome of individual
litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Various legal actions,
governmental investigations, claims, and proceedings are pending against the
Corporation, including those arising out of alleged product defects;
employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety,
emissions, and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer,
supplier, and other contractual relationships; and environmental matters. In
connection with the disposition by Hughes of its defense electronics business to
Raytheon Company in 1997 and its satellite systems manufacturing businesses to
The Boeing Company in 2000, there are disputes regarding the purchase price and
other matters that may result in payments by Hughes to the acquiring companies
that could be material to Hughes. GM has established reserves for matters in
which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Some of the matters
may involve compensatory, punitive, or other treble damage claims, or demands
for recall campaigns, environmental remediation programs, or sanctions, that if
granted, could require the Corporation to pay damages or make other expenditures
in amounts that could not be estimated at June 30, 2001. After discussion with
counsel, it is the opinion of management that such liability is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.

Note 4.  Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trusts

   On April 2, 2001, GM redeemed the Series G Trust's sole assets causing the
Series G Trust to redeem the approximately 5 million outstanding Series G 9.87%
Trust Originated Preferred Securitiessm (TOPrSsm). The Series G TOPrS were
redeemed at a price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $0.42
per share. Also on April 2, 2001, GM redeemed the approximately 5 million
outstanding Series G depositary shares, each of which represents a one-fourth
interest in a GM Series G 9.12% Preference Share, at a price of $25 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends of $0.59 per share. The securities together
had a total face value of approximately $252 million.

Note 5.  Capital Stock Transactions

   During the second quarter of 2000, GM completed an exchange offer in which GM
repurchased 86 million shares of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock and issued 92
million shares of GM Class H common stock. In addition, on June 12, 2000, GM
contributed approximately 54 million shares and approximately 7 million shares
of GM Class H common stock to the U.S. Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan and
Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust, respectively. The
total value of the contributions was approximately $5.6 billion. As a result of
the exchange offer and employee benefit plan contributions, the economic
interest in Hughes attributable to GM $1-2/3 par value common stock decreased
from approximately 62% to approximately 30% and the economic interest in Hughes
attributable to GM Class H common stock increased from approximately 38% to 70%
on a fully diluted basis.
   On June 6, 2000, the GM Board of Directors declared a three-for-one stock
split of the GM Class H common stock. The stock split was in the form of a 200%
stock dividend, paid on June 30, 2000 to GM Class H common stockholders of
record on June 13, 2000. All GM Class H common stock per share amounts and
numbers of shares for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect the
stock split. Furthermore, as a result of this stock split, the voting and
liquidation rights of the GM Class H common stock were reduced from 0.6 votes
per share and 0.6 liquidation units per share, to 0.2 votes per share and 0.2
liquidation units per share in order to avoid dilution in the aggregate voting
or liquidation rights of any class. The voting and liquidation rights of the GM
$1-2/3 par value common stock were not changed. The voting and liquidation
rights of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock are one vote per share and one
liquidation unit per share.

Note 7.  Derivative Financial Instruments

   Effective January 1, 2001, GM adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended, which requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair
value on the balance sheet and establishes criteria for designation and
effectiveness of derivative transactions for which hedge accounting is applied.
GM assesses the initial and ongoing effectiveness of its hedging relationships
in accordance with its documented policies. As a result of the adoption of this
standard as of January 1, 2001, GM recorded a transition adjustment representing
a one-time after-tax charge to income totaling $23 million, as well as an
after-tax unrealized gain of $4 million to other comprehensive income.
   GM is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
interest rates, and certain commodity and equity security prices. In the normal
course of business, GM enters into a variety of foreign exchange, interest rate,
and commodity forward contracts, swaps, and options, with the objective of
minimizing exposure arising from these risks. A risk management control system
is utilized to monitor foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity and equity
price risks, and related hedge positions.

Note 8.  Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stocks

   Earnings per share (EPS) attributable to each class of GM common stock was
determined based on the attribution of earnings to each such class of common
stock for the period divided by the weighted-average number of common shares for
each such class outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS attributable to each
class of GM common stock considers the impact of potential common shares, unless
the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect.
   The attribution of earnings to each class of GM common stock was as follows
(dollars in millions):

                                      Three Months Ended      Six Months Ended

  (Losses) attributable to Class H   $(120)       $(38)      $(207)     $(71)

   Earnings attributable to GM $1-2/3 par value common stock for the period
represent the earnings attributable to all GM common stocks for the period,
reduced by the Available Separate Consolidated Net Income (ASCNI) of Hughes for
the respective period.
   Losses attributable to GM Class H common stock represent the ASCNI of Hughes,
excluding the effects of GM purchase accounting adjustments arising from GM's
acquisition of Hughes Aircraft Company (HAC), reduced by the amount of dividends
accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock of Hughes (as an equivalent measure of
the effect that GM's payment of dividends on the GM Series H 6.25% Automatically
Convertible Preference Stock would have if paid by Hughes). The calculated
losses used for computation of the ASCNI of Hughes are then multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the weighted-average number of
shares of GM Class H common stock outstanding (876 million and 563 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 876
million and 488 million during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively), and the denominator of which is a number equal to the
weighted-average number of shares of GM Class H common stock which if issued and
outstanding would represent a 100% interest in the earnings of Hughes (the
"Average Class H dividend base"). The Average Class H dividend base was 1.3
billion for the second quarters of 2001 and 2000, and for the six month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
   The reconciliation of the amounts used in the basic and diluted earnings per
share computations was as follows (dollars in millions except per share
amounts):

                   GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the December 31,
2000 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto along with the MD&A
included in General Motors Corporation's (the "Corporation" or "GM") 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and all other GM, Hughes Electronics Corporation (Hughes),
and General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All earnings per share amounts included in the MD&A are
reported as diluted.
     GM presents separate  financial  information for the following  businesses:
Automotive,  Communications  Services,  and Other  Operations  and Financing and
Insurance Operations.
   GM's reportable operating segments within its Automotive, Communications
Services, and Other Operations business consist of:

   .  GM Automotive (GMA), which is comprised of four regions: GM North America
      (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM Latin America/Africa/Mid-East (GMLAAM), and GM
      Asia Pacific (GMAP);
   .  Hughes, which includes activities relating to digital entertainment,
      information and communications services, and satellite-based private
      business networks; and
   .  Other, which includes the design, manufacturing, and marketing of
      locomotives and heavy-duty transmissions, the elimination of intersegment
      transactions, certain non-segment specific revenues and expenditures, and
      certain corporate activities.

   GM's reportable operating segments within its Financing and Insurance
Operations business consist of GMAC and Other Financing, which includes
financing entities operating in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Germany, Sweden, and
Mexico that are not associated with GMAC.
   The disaggregated financial results for GMA have been prepared using a
management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which GM
management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of
assisting in making internal operating decisions. In this regard, certain common
expenses were allocated among regions less precisely than would be required for
stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and certain expenses (primarily
certain U.S. taxes related to non-U.S. operations) were included in the
Automotive, Communications Services, and Other Operations' Other segment. The
financial results represent the historical information used by management for
internal decision making purposes; therefore, other data prepared to represent
the way in which the business will operate in the future, or data prepared on a
GAAP basis, may be materially different.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   For the second quarter of 2001, consolidated net income for the Corporation
was $477 million, or $1.03 per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock,
compared with $1.8 billion, or $2.93 per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common
stock for the second quarter of 2000. GM's consolidated net income for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 was $714 million, or $1.56 per share of GM $1-2/3 par
value common stock, compared with $3.5 billion, or $5.74 per share of GM $1-2/3
par value common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
   Effective January 1, 2001, GM adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended, which requires that all derivatives be recorded at fair
value on the balance sheet and establishes criteria for designation and
effectiveness of derivative transactions for which hedge accounting is applied.
As a result of the adoption of this standard as of January 1, 2001, GM recorded
a transition adjustment representing a one-time after-tax charge to income
totaling $23 million, as well as an after-tax unrealized gain of $4 million to
other comprehensive income. For the first quarter of 2001, the net effect of the
initial adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in an increase to income for the
Corporation of $12 million after-tax (GMNA $(14) million, GME $2 million, GMLAAM
$(1) million, GMAP $(1) million, Hughes $(8) million, and GMAC $34 million).
This amount represents the initial transition adjustment recorded as a charge to
income of $23 million and the amount of the initial transition adjustment
originally recorded in other comprehensive income which was reclassified into
earnings during the first quarter. These amounts were primarily recorded in cost
of sales for Automotive, Communications Services, and Other Operations and in
operating and other expenses and interest expense for Financing and Insurance
Operations.

                   GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

GMA Financial Review

   GMA's income and net margin, adjusted to exclude a net charge of $133 million
which represents General Motors' share of severance payments and asset
impairments that were part of the previously announced restructuring of its
affiliate Isuzu Motors Ltd. (the Isuzu restructuring charges), was $410 million
and 1.1% on net sales and revenues of $37.2 billion for the second quarter of
2001. This compares with income of $1.5 billion and a net margin of 3.7% on net
sales and revenues of $39.9 billion for the prior year quarter. For the six
months ended June 30, 2001 income and net margin, adjusted to exclude the Isuzu
restructuring charges and the net effect of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 133
during the first quarter of 2001, decreased to $430 million and 0.6% on net
sales and revenues of $71.0 billion compared with income of $3.0 billion and a
net margin of 3.8% on net sales and revenues of $78.2 billion for the prior year
six-month period. The decrease in adjusted second quarter and year-to-date 2001
income and net sales and revenues was primarily due to a decrease in wholesale
sales volumes and pricing pressures in North America and Europe. These
unfavorable conditions were partially offset by cost structure improvements,
also primarily in North America and Europe.
   GMNA's income was $521 million for the second quarter of 2001, compared with
$1.4 billion for the prior year quarter. Income for the six months ended June
30, 2001, adjusted to exclude the net effect of the initial adoption of SFAS No.
133 during the first quarter of 2001, totaled $641 million compared with $2.7
billion for the prior year six-month period. The decrease in GMNA's second
quarter and year-to-date 2001 income was primarily the result of lower wholesale
sales volumes and unfavorable net price, partially offset by improvements in
manufacturing costs due to performance efficiencies and material cost savings.
Net price, which comprehends the percent increase/(decrease) a customer pays in
the current period for the same comparably equipped vehicle produced in the
previous year's period, was unfavorable for the quarter at (0.8)%
year-over-year.
   GME's loss was $154 million for the second quarter of 2001, compared with
income of $166 million for the prior year quarter. Losses for the six months
ended June 30, 2001, adjusted to exclude the net effect of the initial adoption
of SFAS No. 133 during the first quarter of 2001, totaled $240 million compared
with income of $387 million for the prior year six-month period. The decrease in
second quarter and year-to-date 2001 earnings was partially due to a continued
shift in sales mix from larger, more profitable vehicles to the smaller, less
profitable entries, as well as a decrease in wholesale sales volume from the
continued weakening of the European industry and a continued increase in
competitive pricing pressure.
  GMLAAM's  income was $31 million for the second  quarter of 2001,  compared
with income of $10 million for the prior year quarter. Income for the six months
ended June 30, 2001,  adjusted to exclude the net effect of the initial adoption
of SFAS No. 133 during the first quarter of 2001,  totaled $37 million  compared
with $11 million for the prior year  six-month  period.  The  increase in second
quarter and  year-to-date  2001  earnings  was  primarily  due to an increase in
wholesale  sales  volumes  and  nominal  price  increases,  partially  offset by
increases in material and manufacturing costs.
  GMAP's income for the second quarter of 2001, adjusted to exclude the Isuzu
restructuring charges, was $12 million compared with a loss of $123 million for
the prior year quarter. Losses for the six months ended June 30, 2001, adjusted
to exclude the Isuzu restructuring charges and the net effect of the initial
adoption of SFAS No. 133 during the first quarter of 2001, totaled $8 million
compared with a loss of $116 million for the prior year six-month period. The
increase in second quarter and year-to-date 2001 earnings was primarily due to
equity income improvements from several joint ventures in the region as well as
an increase in wholesale volumes and prices, partially offset by increases in
material costs.

Hughes Financial Review

     Hughes' net sales and  revenues  decreased to $2.0 billion and $3.9 billion
in the second quarter and first six months of 2001, respectively,  compared with
$2.3 billion and $4.4 billion in the comparable periods in 2000. The decrease in
second  quarter  and  year-to-date  2001 net sales and  revenues  resulted  from
decreased  revenues at Hughes  Network  Systems  (HNS) and PanAmSat  Corporation
(PanAmSat),  as  well  as  the  sale  of  the  satellite  systems  manufacturing
businesses (Satellite  Businesses) to The Boeing Company on October 6, 2000. The
decrease  in net  sales  and  revenues  at HNS was  primarily  due to  decreased
shipments of DIRECTV receiving equipment due primarily to DIRECTV completing the
conversion of PRIMESTAR By DIRECTV  customers to the high-power  DIRECTV service
in 2000 and a decrease in manufacturing subsidiaries.  The decrease in net sales
and revenues at PanAmSat was primarily due to new outright  sales and sales-type
lease  transactions  executed  during the second quarter and first six months of
2000 for which there were no comparable  transactions  in the second quarter and
first six months of 2001.  These decreases were partially  offset by an increase
in net sales and revenues at the  Direct-To-Home  businesses  that resulted from
the  addition of  approximately  1.7 million net new  subscribers  in the United
States and Latin America since June 30, 2000.

                   GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Hughes Financial Review (concluded)

   Hughes' loss was $156 million for the second quarter of 2001, compared with a
loss of $64 million for the prior year quarter. Losses for the six months ended
June 30, 2001, adjusted to exclude the net effect of the initial adoption of
SFAS No. 133 during the first quarter of 2001, totaled $252 million compared
with a loss of $141 million for the prior year six-month period. The increase in
the second quarter and year-to-date 2001 losses was primarily due to higher
marketing costs at the Direct-To-Home businesses, increased
depreciation and amortization expense due to capital expenditures for property
and satellites since the second quarter of 2000 and a change in the useful life
of the Galaxy VIII-i satellite that resulted from the failure of its primary
propulsion system during the third quarter of 2000, and the sale of the
Satellite Businesses in October 2000. These increases were partially offset by
the write-off of the discontinued DIRECTV Japan business in 2000. The increase
in adjusted loss for the first six months of 2001 was also impacted by a
decrease in income tax benefit of $152 million due to lower pre-tax losses in
2001 as well as the additional tax benefit in 2000 associated with the write-off
of Hughes' investment in DIRECTV Japan.
   Due to rapid consolidation in the media and telecommunications industries, GM
is now considering alternative strategic transactions involving Hughes and other
participants in those industries. Any such transaction might involve the
separation of Hughes from GM. GM's objective in this effort is to maximize the
enterprise value of Hughes for the long-term benefit of the holders of GM's
Class H common stock and GM $1-2/3 par value common stock through a structure
that maintains the financial strength of GM. No assurance can be given that any
transaction will be agreed upon with any party or that other conditions,
including any stockholder or regulatory approvals will be satisfied.

GMAC Financial Review

   GMAC's income was $449 million on net sales and revenues of $6.4 billion for
the second quarter of 2001, compared with $395 million on net sales and revenues
of $5.8 billion for the prior year quarter. Income for the first six months of
2001, adjusted to exclude the net effect of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 133
during the first quarter of 2001, was $880 million on net sales and revenues of
$12.8 billion, compared with $792 million on net sales and revenues of $11.4
billion for the prior year period. Income from automotive and other financing
operations totaled $360 million for the second quarter of 2001, compared with
$278 million for the prior year quarter. The strong results can be attributed to
higher asset levels, increased securitization activity, and the positive impact
of lower short term interest rates, partially offset by higher credit losses and
lower off-lease residual values. Income from insurance operations totaled $41
million for the second quarter of 2001, compared with $57 million for the prior
year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower capital gains. Income from
mortgage operations totaled $48 million for the second quarter of 2001, compared
with $60 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in earnings from
mortgage operations was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment,
which led to an acceleration of loan prepayments as more customers refinanced
their mortgages requiring a write-down of mortgage servicing rights, partially
offset by the effect of a significant increase in mortgage originations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Automotive, Communications Services, and Other Operations
---------------------------------------------------------

   At June 30, 2001, cash, marketable securities, and $3.0 billion of assets of
the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust invested in
fixed-income securities totaled $12.2 billion, compared with $13.3 billion at
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively. The decrease from December
31, 2000 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventory
levels, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. In addition, GM's
purchase of an additional 10% equity stake in Suzuki, an increase in net capital
expenditures, and the redemption of preferred securities contributed to the
decrease in cash. Total assets in the VEBA trust used to pre-fund part of GM's
other postretirement benefits liability approximated $5.2 billion at June 30,
2001, compared with $6.7 billion at December 31, 2000 and $6.9 billion at June
30, 2000. GM previously indicated that it had a goal of maintaining $13.0
billion of cash and marketable securities in order to continue funding product
development programs throughout the next downturn in the business cycle. This
$13.0 billion target includes cash to pay certain costs that were pre-funded in
part by VEBA contributions.
   Long-term debt was $8.7 billion at June 30, 2001, compared with $7.4 billion
at December 31, 2000 and $8.5 billion at June 30, 2000. The ratio of long-term
debt to long-term debt and GM's net assets of Automotive, Communications
Services, and Other Operations was 36.1% at June 30, 2001, compared with 30.8%
at December 31, 2000 and 34.5% at June 30, 2000. The ratio of long-term debt and
short-term loans payable to the total of this debt and GM's net assets of
Automotive, Communications Services, and Other Operations was 41.9% at June 30,
2001, compared with 36.6% at December 31, 2000 and 40.6% at June 30, 2000.

                   GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Automotive, Communications Services, and Other Operations (concluded)
---------------------------------------------------------

   Net liquidity, calculated as cash and marketable securities less the total of
loans payable and long-term debt, was $(1.9) billion at June 30, 2001, compared
with $662 million at December 31, 2000 and $(738) million at June 30, 2000.

Financing and Insurance Operations
----------------------------------

   At June 30, 2001, GMAC owned assets and serviced automotive receivables
totaling $193.0 billion, compared with $185.6 billion at December 31, 2000 and
$173.3 billion at June 30, 2000. The increase from December 31, 2000 was
primarily the result of increases in serviced retail receivables, other assets,
real-estate mortgages held for sale, commercial and other loan receivables,
investments in securities, due and deferred from receivable sales, mortgage
servicing rights, and mortgage lending receivables. These increases were
partially offset by a decline in net operating lease assets, serviced wholesale
receivables, mortgage loans held for investment, and factored receivables.
   Consolidated automotive and commercial finance receivables serviced by GMAC,
including sold receivables, totaled $116.8 billion at June 30, 2001, compared
with $112.5 billion at December 31, 2000 and $104.5 billion at June 30, 2000.
The increase from December 31, 2000 was primarily the result of a $4.8 billion
increase in serviced retail receivables, a $1.3 billion increase in commercial
and other loan receivables, partially offset by a $2.0 billion decrease in
serviced wholesale receivables. Continued GM-sponsored retail financing
incentives contributed to the rise in serviced retail receivables. The increase
in commercial and other loan receivables was primarily attributable to increases
in secured notes as well as continued growth at Commercial Credit LLC and GMAC
Business Credit LLC. The decrease in serviced wholesale receivables was due to
reduced dealer inventory levels at June 30, 2001 compared with December 31,
2000.
   At June 30, 2001, GMAC's total borrowings were $131.4 billion, compared with
$133.4 billion at December 31, 2000 and $126.7 billion at June 30, 2000. GMAC's
ratio of total debt to total stockholder's equity at June 30, 2001 was 8.9:1,
compared with 9.5:1 at December 31, 2000 and 9.6:1 at June 30, 2000.

Book Value Per Share

   Book value per share is determined based on the liquidation rights of the
various classes of common stock. Book value per share of GM $1-2/3 par value
common stock was $38.85 at June 30, 2001, compared with $39.36 at December 31,
2000 and $38.44 at June 30, 2000. Book value per share of GM Class H common
stock, adjusted to reflect the GM Class H common stock split, was $7.77 at June
30, 2001, compared with $7.87 at December 31, 2000 and $7.69 at June 30, 2000.

Dividends

   Dividends may be paid on common stocks only when, as, and if declared by the
GM Board in its sole discretion. The amount available for the payment of
dividends on each class of common stock will be reduced on occasion by dividends
paid on that class and will be adjusted on occasion for changes to the amount of
surplus attributed to the class resulting from the repurchase or issuance of
shares of that class.
   GM's policy is to distribute dividends on its $1-2/3 par value common stock
based on the outlook and indicated capital needs of the business. On May 1,
2001, the GM Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share on GM
$1-2/3 par value common stock, paid June 9, 2001, to holders of record on May
11, 2001. With respect to GM Class H common stock, the GM Board determined that
it will not pay any cash dividends at this time in order to allow the earnings
of Hughes to be retained for investment in its business.
   A quarterly dividend of $8.7793 per share for the GM Series H 6.25%
Automatically Convertible Preference Stock was paid on August 1, 2001, to the
sole holder of record on July 2, 2001.

New Accounting Standards

   On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method
of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. Goodwill and certain intangible assets will remain on the balance sheet
and not be amortized. On an annual basis, and when there is reason to suspect
that their values have been diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested
for impairment, and write-downs may be necessary. The Company has not determined
the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
   Also on July 20, 2001, SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
was issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon
adoption of this statement. The Company is required to implement SFAS No. 142 on
January 1, 2002 and it has not determined the impact, if any, that this
statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(a) Material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business, to which the Corporation became, or was, a party
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, or subsequent thereto, but before the
filing of this report are summarized below:

   With respect to the previously reported putative class actions alleging
defects in vehicle paint, the Corporation was served with another putative class
action on May 24, 2001, filed in the Circuit Court, Third Judicial Circuit,
Madison County, Illinois (Rose Ann Hayes v General Motors Corporation and
Albrecht-Hamlin Chevrolet, Inc). The named plaintiff purports to represent a
class of "all person in the United states who (a) are the original and current
owner or lessee of a 1989-1997 model year GM vehicle that currently exhibits
topcoat delamination; or (b) are the original and current owner or lessee of a
1989-1997 model year GM vehicle, and paid to repair topcoat delamination on that
vehicle; or (c) were the original owner or lessee of a 1989-1997 model year GM
vehicle, and paid to repair topcoat delamination on that vehicle." The Complaint
alleges that GM failed to disclose the possibility that vehicles would
experience "topcoat delamination" and asserts claims for common law and
statutory "fraud by omission" based on that factual predicate The case is in its
most preliminary stage and no determination has been made as to whether the case
may proceed as a class action.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (concluded)

   On May 18, 2001, in Oklahoma State Court, plaintiffs Cable Connection, Inc.,
TV Options, Inc., Swartzel Electronics, Inc. and Orbital Satellite, Inc. filed a
class action complaint against DIRECTV and Hughes. All four plaintiffs are
DIRECTV dealers (three residential and one commercial), who allege claims
ranging from breach of contract to fraud, promissory estoppel, antitrust and
unfair competition claims. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and
unjunctive relief. They claim to be bringing the complaint on behalf of all
DIRECTV dealers, including former PRIMESTAR and USSB dealers. DIRECTV and Hughes
have filed a motion to stay and compel arbitration with each of the individual
plaintiffs pursuant to the arbitration clause in each of the dealer's contracts
with DIRECTV, and will vigorously defend against these allegations.

   From August 6 through 9, 2001, five purported class actions (Wurzel v.
Cornelius, et al.; Selden Realty Association, Inc.v. Hughes Electronics
Corporation, et al.; Weilheimer v. Cornelius, et al, Kopelman v. Cornelius, et
al, and Lerner v. Cornelius, et al.) were filed on behalf of owners of GM Class
H shares against Hughes Electronics Corporation, General Motors Corporation and
the Hughes directors in Delaware Chancery Court. A sixth purported class action
was filed against Hughes and the Hughes directors only in Superior Court in Los
Angeles, California (Salamone v. Hughes Electronics Corporation, et al.). The
lawsuits allege that News Corp has been favored as a bidder to purchase Hughes
over EchoStar to benefit GM in violation of alleged fiduciary duties. GM, Hughes
and the director defendants believe these actions are without merit and intend
to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

   As previously reported, General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") and
DIRECTV entered into a contract on July 31, 1995, in which GECC agreed to
establish and manage a private label consumer credit program for consumer
purchases of hardware and related DIRECTV(R) programming. Under the contract,
GECC also agreed to provide certain related services to DIRECTV, including
credit risk scoring, billing and collections services. DIRECTV agreed to act as
a surety for loans complying with the terms of the contract. Hughes guaranteed
DIRECTV's performance under the contract. A complaint and counterclaim were
filed by the parties in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut
concerning GECC's performance and DIRECTV's obligation to act as a surety. A
trial commenced on June 12, 2000 with GECC presenting evidence to the jury for
damages of $157 million. DIRECTV sought damages from GECC of $45 million. On
July 21, 2000, the jury returned a verdict in favor of GECC and awarded contract
damages in the amount of $133.0 million. The trial judge issued an order
granting GECC $48.5 million in interest under Connecticut's offer-of-judgment
statute. With this order, the total judgment entered in GECC's favor was $181.5
million. Hughes and DIRECTV filed a notice of appeal on December 29, 2000. The
appeal briefs have been submitted and oral argument is expected in mid-September
2001. Hughes and DIRECTV believe that it is reasonably possible that the jury
verdict will be overturned and a new trial granted. However, if Hughes were not
to prevail in this matter, Hughes could be required to make a cash payment to
GECC that would be material to Hughes' consolidated financial statements.

(b) Previously reported legal proceedings which have been terminated, either
during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, or subsequent thereto, but before the
filing of this report are summarized below:

   On June 16, 2000 the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality ("MDEQ")
proposed a settlement payment in excess of $100,000 for alleged violations of
Federal and State air regulations at the Powertrain Saginaw Metal Casting
Operations plant in Saginaw, Michigan. The alleged violations involved the lack
of proper approvals and are not related to any degradation of the environment.
GM has entered into a Consent Order with MDEQ providing for a settlement payment
of $113,551 and GM's agreement to retire certain emission credits.
